Awaits Canada’s Next Move—Comment at Washington WERNER HORN German Who Attempted to Destroy Bridge Across St. Croix River Vanceboro, Me.. Feb. 4.—Pending a determination at Wash ington of his political status the State today made sure of the custody of Werner Horn, the bridge dynamiter by causing him to be sentenced to 30 days in jail. It is expected that before the expiration of that period he will be surrendered to the federal authorities for a hearing on the application for his extradition to Canada filed by the British ambassador, Sir Cecil Spring Rice. The complaint was made by Deputy Sheriff George W. Ross, who was anxious to get the prisoner off his hands and had been promised the backin g of the State attorney general’s office in the procedure. alleged that when Horn discharged an explosive under the Canadian end of the Canadian Pacific Railway bridge over the St. Croix river, he maliciously dam aged property in this town where windows in the residences of Horace N. Kellogg and others w ere broken by the concussion. Horn was a willing party to the proceedings and pleaded guil ty. Asked whether he had anything to say, he replied in the negative, adding only: “My turn will come later." CLOSED FIST OF CURTIS Governor to Al low No Appro priations Not Necessary jNo Extensions or Im provement on Private Institutions M a i n tenance and Repairs Held to Lowest Possi ble Figure Unless Governor Curtis cTifmg^s bis policy in regard to appropriations for private institutions there tv ill be no appropriations made for the erection of i buildings for such institutions except the resolves authorizing them ar® passed over his veto. A Modification And even this is a. modification of his initial policy in regard to appro i priations for biddings at institutions. for until recently he was firmly I against the granting of moneys for building purposes at Ptate institutions. It is his present policy, at least so stated, to approve appropriations fo" State Institutions for maintenance and building and repair of structures al ready built where absolutely neces sary. He was brought to this policy only when shown by other statesmen at the capitol that it would be poor business policy to withhold from Stale i institutions funds undeniably required j to keep them in a condition of fair ef i fieiency. But it may be set down right now that this administration is not to be famed for its construction and upbuilding of public institutions. Private Institutions For private institutions, it is said,1 he will approve appropriations fo* maintenance to a certain total, bus will not consent to expenditures for private institutions exceeding this sum. This means that he will not,’ unless he changes his stated policy materially, approve the erection of a new building for the tuberculosis san atorium at Fairfield, for instance, or other buildings of a like character. Some Threatened Measure Furthermore, he probably will not approve of the expenditure of such a, large sum as will be required if a new State prison is built nor the ap propriations proposed for new build ings at the University of Maine, lb* Augusta State Hospital, and building appropriations that reach a consider able figure as would these. His Portland Record It is said by citizens of Portland observant of municipal conditions that if Mayor Curtis had a record for good business it was based on his guardi anship of the city treasury and his guardianship of the city treasury con sisted chiefly of refusing appropria tions of sums for improvements and (Continued on Page 11—Column 1) I 1 To Machias Jail Several witnesses were on hand when the prisoner was brought before Trial Justice George H.

Machias is almost directly south and by the shorter railroad route dis tant about 75 miles. Half of the track age of this line, however, is on Cana dian soil. Accordingly, Ross will take his man on a roundabout trip of 200 miles by way of Bangor and Washing ton Junction.

The Senate order relating to the legislative printing, which was sent down to the House for concurrence Wednesday, was taken from the table where it was tempo- j rarily sleeping Thursday morning and incarcerated in that famous legisla tive tomb on the fascade of which are chiseled the soulless words. “In de'h.uiitely postponed," nnd the re quiem was sung hy Speaker Trafton, when he announced that 79 had voted to so dispose of the order and 70 against such action in a yea and nay vote. Review cf Controversy Governor Curtis and his Council ev idently thought that for stated reasons they should interfere in the business Legislature to the extent of holding up a legislative order for printing. Democrats say they believed they were Justified. President Hersey, chagrined at this usurpation of legislative authority by the Governor and Council, addresssed the Senate Tuesday morning calling the attention of that body to the ac tion and reviewing the facts prece dent. Subsequently the Senate passed an order declaring the right of the Legislature to superintend its own business and intimating that no in terference vould be tolerated. Tuesday afternoon the Governor and Council held a hearing, the feature of M-hich Mas the opinion of Attorney General Pattangall on the authority of the Governor and Council and. the Legislature The opinion clearly show ing that authority had been over-step ped, the Governor and Council receded through the issuance of a neM' and modified order to take the place of their order M-hich had aroused the ire of the Senate.

The only mark ed feature of the House debate on the motion to table was the address of Representative Pierce from Houlton, President Hersey's home town, in the course of M-hich address he stated that if there had been any delay in the delivery of legislative printing Presi dent Hersey had caused it as shown by the testimony of Harry Reid of P-ugusta, before the Governor and Council at the hearing the preceding afternoon.

Cleaves, member of Public Utilities Commission, formerly Judge of the Municipal Court of Biddeford. says: “There are hundreds of girls, from sixteen to twenty years of age, in this State, who simply need controlling as well as helpful influence or good advice toupled with some measure of restraint. This cannot be done in our ordinary jails, because oftentimes the term of imprisonment will work more harm than that which has already taken place In the life of the woman. “I should be absolutely in favor of some one or more state institu tions of reformatory nature, where courts of all kinds of jurisdiction can rommit unfortunate women for a limited period of time, and I believe that the State owes it as a duty to itself to create some such institution.” Hon. Stephen S. Lancaster, Judge of the Municipal Court of Augusta, says: “Speaking for my locality, nearly every day I am confronted with the problem what to do with wayward and dissolute girls, sixteen years of age and upwards. From fourteen to twenty are critical years. A county jail is not a fit place to send them. A term in jail extinguishes the hope of redemption. The public safety demands their /etire ment. Many of them are diseased. A reformatory for women would be of inestimable benefit to the State. To my mind a public hecosaity and a profitable investment.” THE 77TH MAINE LEGISLATURE

Stenographic Reports of the Sessions of Senate And House of Representatives SENATE. i •Thursday, February 4, 1915. Senate called to order by the Pres ident. Prayer by Wylie E. Smith of Hal lowcll. Journal of previous session read and approved. The PRESIDENT; The Chair Will call the Senator from Cumberland, Senator Murphy to the Chair. (Senator Murphy in the Chair.) The PRESIDENT: Mr. Chairman, I ask the unanimous consent of the Senate that I may speak on ft ques tion of the (highest privilege from the desk of the Secretary of the Sen ate. (Cnanimous consent was granted.) The PRESIDENT: Fellow Senat ors, matters have arisen in the Leg islature which have been brought to your attention in an official manner. I.ast Tuesday morning your President from the Chair laid before the Senate what lie conceived to be a matter for the Legislature to settle in regard to its business: A conflict between two flepartments of state, the executive and the legislative. The Chair intend ed to express no opinion at that time in regard to that question which had arisen, but to lay before the Senate nnd lie fore the House the exact con dition of affairs. The President took pains to very carefully prepare the statement he made, submitting to your consider ation that certain public printing of this Legislature had been held up by the Governor and Council: that two certain orders of this Legislature which the President quoted, had been held up by the Governor and Council. And the Chair submitted to this Sen ate the question of authority, as to which had the authority for the leg islative printing, the executive de partment or the legislative depart ment, for you to settle. The Chair had no opinion to offer you and nothing to do with your duties except the duties of a senator with you. In the office of the President, in the office of the secretary of the Sen ate and his assistants, in the office of the clerk of the House and his assist ants. and Speaker of the House, this question was vital to our wellfare and business. It could not be expected, you ought not to have expected that the Speaker of the House In his position would have brought before this Legislature a matter that involved the executive department of the State. The secretary of the Senate who sits here at my left, a man efficient and honest In his work, could not be expected to bring before this Legis lature in any way, himself, the mat ters that concerned the progress of the work of his office, and the ques tion came fairly up to the President of this Senate whether he had the courage to perform his plain duty and lay before the Senate the facts and let the Legislature act. If I had been unfaithful to that duty and shrank from it I would have beenun worthy to sit in this honorable body. After I had presented that matter, the Senate—and I am proud of every one of you for doing it—you urian lmously passed an order saying that you were the judge of your own print ing and the conduct of your own busi ness, and that no other department had charge of the legislative printing. That order went to the House. You remember what happened. Yesterday morning in the House the order was tabled. In the House the statement was made that the executive department had abandoned its position by the WHAT SCIATICA IS There is something terrifying about the word sciatica. Yet sciatica is noth ing but neuralgia of the sciatic nerve and neuralgia is an inflammation caused by lack of nourishment. Application of dry heat as hot as sand bags or flannel to the course of the inflamed nerve often quiets the pain but it does not feed the nerve. It is temporary relief, a good thing to know about, but not a remedy. What causes the nerve starvation that results in neuralgia and sciatica and how may it be corrected? The most common cause is a run down physical system and a frequent exciting cause is exposure to cold. Thin blood is often at fault. It is through the blood that the nerves get their nourishment. Mortal man knows of no other way of getting nourish ment to a nerve. Therefore when the blood gets thin and falls to feed the nerves they show their resentment by becoming inflamed. Try Dr. William's Pink Pills at this stage and see how the inflammation subsides as the en riched blood carries to the starved nerves the elements they need.

It was said that everything would go on as usual. Now had it stopped there the Chair would not have said a word this morning; had that ended the matter. Hut something else took place, and I regret that the exigencies of any de partment in this state require that certain things should be done, but someone, I don't know who, outside of the Legislature was responsible j for It, and there was placed in the hands of the Senator from Lincoln, Senator Boynton, who gave the Sen ate certain extracts, so-called, through interviews in the executive chamber with the public binder, and the same thing in the record of the House by the gentleman from Houlton, (my own town), Mr. Pierce, to read and j they were simultaneously read In the j Senate and in the House, and those extracts, unexplained, would have a I tendency to deceive the people and put into the record of our Legislature, j that the President of this Senate was i responsible for the holding up of the public printing of this Legislature, and not the executive department. Now that I may not be wrong in the matter, which you know went through the Legislature yesterday, I j want to read to you from the Water- j ville Sentinel of today. ‘‘The order passed by the Council relating to over-time on legislative printing has been modified to con form better to the law and custom. What causes most satisfaction, how ever. is the fact that the official scalp of President Hersey, who was chiefly responsible for the whole muss, is nailed to the wall in the executive department.” “The scalping of President Hersey was done in a cool, matter-of-fact way by Senator Boynton, Democratic lead er in the upper branch, this morning, who, by unanimous consent of the Senate, got into the official record testimony showing that tho State binder had delayed the delivery of legislative printing at the request of President Hersey, thus making it plain to the senators that all of tho force of the President’s carefully prepared statement might have been lost had the printing not been interfered with but allowed to go along In the reg ular way.” “In the House, Pierce of Houlton eueceded in having the Senate order relating to the legislative printing ta bled, principally on the ground that there was no possible good that it could do. He, too, quoted the interest ing testimony regarding President Hersey’s movements in the affair, thus robbing the upper branch of much of the sympathy it might have secured In the lower body in its clash with the Executive Council.’’ And the same gentleman in the House in his remarks quoted the tes timony of Mr. Reid, and said: “If there has been any delay you have the testimony of the State binder to the effect that he was requested to hold it up by the President of the Senate. (Applause)” I came into this Legislature In 1909 and have been here since then; this Is my fourth berm. I came here with Senator Boynton of Lincoln. I was drawn to Senator Boynton by those things that draw men together that stand for noblo things. I respect him and have always respected him, and shall always respect him for the sterling honesty of his char acter and the grand way ho has stood for the State of Maine in the Legislature. I have been his friend: we have been friends, and we have talked over political matters, although of different parties, and most of the time we have agreed, and when we have not agreed I know that I have believed in his honesty and Integrity. I want to remain his friend, and I know he wants to remain my friend. I know that Senator Boynton would not be guilty of doing a little mean thing against any Senator. I be lieve that, and I do not believe In what he did yesterday that he was conscious that he was engaged by anybody else to injure and humiliate the President of the Senate, or that by the use of these garbled extracts, he would put the Presi dent of the Senate In a wrong light be fore the people of Maine. But he was chosen by somebody to. humiliate the President of the Senate, and he did it. I think he regretted B, I think he will always regret It. but we are friends and he Is an honorable man. But that is not all. Somebody select ed the gentleman from Houlton, Mr. Pierce, one of the deareet friends I have on earth and an honorable man, a boy that I saw grow up from the cradle. He has lived beside me, and he would loose his right hand before he would knowing ly injure any man, or injure me. But he was deceived, and garbled things were put into his hands, that t&rapgli the gen tleman from my own toWn, my dearest friend, the President of tbe Senate might be crucified. Now what was there to it? All there was to it was this: That on last Mon day the publle binder came Into the office of the President of the Senate in the presence of our secretary and asked whether he should bring certain printing that was already done, and not involved tn this controversy,—that was not held up by the Governor and Councmil,— whether he should bring that up on Tuesday morning or Tuesday afternoon. It was the printing of bills that would go to committees, and not to either branch of the Legislature, but directly to the committee. And we said, I do not know but the President might have ex pressed the opinion that tt would be just as well to bring them up in the after noon as in the forenoon when the Legis lature would be in session. In the after noon the secretary of the Senate sendB this printed matter to the committees. Mr. Reid saw the clerk of the House and he said that he would rather have them in the afternoon. It came up in the afternoon and when Mr. Reid was before the Governor and Council he was asked a question whether the President of the Senate asked him to delay the sending up of the printing, and he said that he understood that he was not to have the printing come up in the forenoon, but in the afternoon. That is the reason given why they charge that this hold-up of the Legisla ture is the President's fault. I further read from the Watervllle Sentinel of this morning the statement of Mr. Reid. Mr. Reid evidently made two statements yesterday. I do not know except about the one I am reading; I have not consulted him, but I under stand this is the last statement he made: "Mr. Reid at two thirty-five P. M. stat ed that the wording is correct, with the exception that he meant the clerk of the House Instead of the Secretary of tile Senate. He also reiterates that he said that the printing was already to be deliv ered at S o’clock, and was held up at the request of the President of the Senate. HARRY W. REID. (Signed) W itness. I. C. Marks. A true copy, Attest: OSCAR H. DUJCBAR. Justice of the peace. A few moments before ho made that statement, if he made that—it is evi dently a statement of somebody else—he made this statement and signed it: ‘•Wed., Feb. 3, 1915. To the Public: I understand that in debate in the Sen ate and House tills morning in the mat ter of State Printing and binding, certain statements were made distorting what I said yesterday to the Governor and Council, to make it appear that I claimed the President of the Senate was respon sible for the hold-up in certain orders of the Legislature in the matter of print ing and binding. In Justice to the j. resi dent I desire to state that any hold.ng or suspension of file orders of the Legis lature in the matter of the printing and binding, as far as the Public Linder is concerned, has been due solely to tne vote and orders of tlie Governor and Council, that the only talk I had with the President was in regard to the*deliv ery of certain printed matter already done, as to whether it should be deliv ered in the forenoon or afternoon of Tuesday last, and, after consulting with the Clerk of the House, I concluded it would make no difference. The President of the Senate has been very insistent that the work of the Printer and Binder should be promptly' done and delivered and that the orders of the Legislature should be executed, even in splto of the orders of the Governor and Council. The Binder would like the question of au thority settled and the President prom ised the Binder to bring that matter be fore the Legislature the first thing Tues day morning and as far as I know the President should not be criticized in any thing he has done and that he is not re sponsible for the present condition of the public printing and binding. HARRY W. REID." After this Legislature has adjourned and we have gone home—this is my last term, I have had all the honors you can give me, and I thank you lor them—I want the record to be such that my friends can look hack upon it aB 1 do with pride. In days to come, senators, when this little drama that has been enacted by small politicians on the stage of life has gone and they have retired, only tha truth remains and that will be eternal. I thank you for your attention. (The PRESIDENNT in the Chair.) Papers from the House disposed of in concurrence. From the House: Resolve in favor of Alfred Yankauer, with the state ment of facts.

He was a member of the tlrm of Emerson, Stevens Co., for many years. In 1875, he married Vio let Eaton of Vienna, who survives him. Early in 1893 he moved to New Mexi co, where he died after a long illness from tuberculosis. A widow, a daugh ter, Elizabeth M., and one son, Ar thur J. of Roswell, four brothers, Jos eph E., of New York, Charles of South Dakota, and William and Ever ett of Minneapolis, survive. THE LID IS ON TIGHT AND PEOPLE ARE GOOD Seldom has there been such a stretch of inactivity as there has been in the municipal court for the past week. Tuesday was the only day that was marred by the appearance of a prisoner at the bar, and then it was but a small boy charged With the lar ceny of stamps. Only once before within the year has there been such a stretch of goodness on the part of some of the citizens of Waterville and that was last summer during hay ing season when for a fortnight not an arrest terminated in an arraign ment before the court. Perhaps the period of sobriety and good bohaviour is due to the fact that the lid is on good and tight., and it is on tighter and closer than it has been for a mighty long time. What liquor com-isi :into the city, and it comes always, and probably always will is in smn.u quantities. The small amount sold '.a either in kitchen bar rooms or by the pocket peddlers. Business is dull with them, too. Hard times and the lack of work have made It almost utterly impossible for the topers to pay seven ty-five cents and a dollar a pint, the prices demanded by the peddlers. The deputy sheriffs are constantly on the lookout for ’the illegal venders, and seldom a day goes by without two or more searches of places that have been under suspicion. AMUSEMENTS

At The Opera House With two new sketches that are both entertaining and funny, the Thomas Musical Comedy Co., Thursday began the aeoond half of its first week’s en gagement at the Opera house. There ig a complete renovation of the musi cal numbers, solos, and the dances. The photoplayp promised for Friday and Saturday are said to be unusually good. MYSTERIOUS HI VISITS CIVIC AND ASKS C. Nelson Sparks, agent of the Na tional Association of "Commerce and Labor, whose exploits In the State of Maine thus far have been told in the columns of the Kennebec Journal, has turned up in Waterville. As luck would have It, it was the very day that his alleged connection with the liquor interests of the Country were shown up in the Journal, that Mr. C. Nelson Sparks walked Jauntily into the office of the Christian Civio League *in the Waterville Savings Bank building. He talked first with Rev. Hr. Charles E. Owen, one of the secretaries of the League. Investiga tors of all kinds and descriptions, from the country pastor who is discouraged by the liquor Belling to boys of his congregation, to out-and-out, dyed-in the-wool agents of the liquor trust, are constant visitdi's at Civic League head quarters. and they are all treated with uniform courtesy. This was the case when C. Nelson Sparks invaded the penetralia of the Anti-Saloon head quarters of the pioneer prohibition GRAND CHIEF TEMPLAR VISITS LOCAL TEMPLARS Grand Chief Templar Howard C. Woodside of the Grand Lodge of Maine, International Order of Good Templars, paid an official visit Wed nesday night to Waterville Lodge of this city. Mr. Woodside had notified the local lodge several weeks ago that he intended to be present, and on the date set elaborate preparations were made for his entertainment, but he was unable to come at the time ap pointed. His visit on the present oc casion was unexpected, but 42 mem bers were in their seats when the lodge was called to order, and a number came in later. The grand chief temp lar was received with Grand Lo-ed by the Hume Newhsll Lumber Co. and was always a faithful and hard worker. The Par lins moved from Fairfield village onto the Ridge road early last fall. The fu neral arrangements have as yet not been made, the remains being taken Thursday evening from the .hospital to his late home on the Ridge road. NOISELESS NORWAY. A Country of Quiet Voices, Gentle Manners and Placidity. The population of Norway is nearly 2,o00.00t), but if the entire population met in a given area J venture to say that their coming and their going and their meeting would not make as much noise as one may hear every five min utes on dozens of street crossings either in New York or in Chicago. Norway is the country of quiet voices gentle manners and no noise. The steamers dock alniost without a sound and depart as silently. At Christian-, I sand, where wo touched first on Scan dinavian soil, people got on and off the steamer, farewells were waved, the crowd on the dock moved about delib erately, but no voico was raised, there was no shouting, no physical unrest expressing itself in squirming bodies or twisted features; they were almost as calm as the stars above them. All over Sweden and Norway ono is attracted by the smooth skins, un wrinklerl cheeks and unfurrowed brows of both the men and the women. They have placid faces, as of men and wo men who have not yet been in contact with our disease of striving to live a’l of life in a day. The trains slide away from the stations at the sound of a scarcely audible whistle, and there are no hells or shouted warnings; the crowds in ti e streets or elsewhere seem to pitch their voices out of the range of hearing of ears accustomed to the catarrhal rumble of London, the strident gabble of New York or the sibilant cackle cf Paris.—The Late Price Collier in Scbibner’s. Weapon Against Submarines. Anybody who has ever, seen tne trouble that can be made for a steamship when a rope, even though not very long or very large, gets tangled in its propeller, will wonder what happened to the submarine, presumably German, that was re ported in yesterday’s dispatches as having run foul of a fishnet off the Dutch coast. No craft, probably, has a "margin •of safety*’ quite as small as does the submarine, and hardly anything cau happen to it that does not produce consequences serious or fatal. Now, the nets used In deep-sea fishing aro large, strong and heavy, hut they do not cost much, as war expenditures go, and the little incident described all too briefly in the cable news seem ingly suggests convenient and ef fective means of reducing these much-dreaded little assassins to help lessness. With a net once around her organ, of propulsion, a submarine would_ either remain permanently unde/' water, which would be had for her erew. or she would have to rise to the surface and remain tbdre for a con slderable tljne, -within sight of hostile marksmen, and that, too, would 0? attended with most positive incon veniences.—N<?k York Times. Deeoy Periscopes Used. Such things exist' as decoy peri scopes—short lengths of pipe held upright on a float and looking exact ly like the real periscope. The sub marine sets tb^pji adrift for. you to find—sometimes scatters several of them. When one is sighted you cannot stop to consider whether the little ob ject dancing on the sea half a mile or so distant does, or does not mean 230 pounds of high explosive coming straight at you.' Maybe you will see an aeroplane mannevering over it lu a way that carries conviction that it does. You don’t dare' to take any chances, and so you train all the guns at it. Then the real submarine slinks up on the other side of the ship, and with the swift rush of its torpedo the latest of sea tragedies comes to an end.—The Independent. Origin of Gibraltar. (Detroit Journal.) The “tar” in ‘'Gibraltar” is a con traction of Taric or Tarif, the name of a famous pirate or mediaeval times. The whole word may he translated as "mountain'or cliff ot Taric.” This same root "tar” occurs in the word "tariff,” which has such a familiar sound to most of us now. Taric after a time came to levy a tax or tariff on passing vessels instead of. robbing thefii outright. In this way our word “tariff” had its origin. It is-interesting to note also that this -robber was further honored by baying the town of TarilTa, near Gibraltar, named for him. RABBIT FINDS CITY LIFE SWIFT. Leads Mob a Lively Chase, Escaping Dogs and Football Tactics. “Do I seo it, or do I only think I see it.” asked a rather wabbly in dividual with a red nose as lie emerged from a grog shop near the courthouse. His dim blue eyes fastened,upon an especially agile and speedy specimen of the rabbltus cottontailus, which swept into view from the courthouse yard and made haste in the direction of the Market House. Trailing after the uuarry was a erorvd of women, men and boys Like Diana of the chase the women ran after that rabbit at a pace that made, his hind legs pass his front legs in his haste to get away. Babbits are not usually given to seeking the white light, but this par ticular bunny had an enterprising spirit and an investigating turn ot mind. Maybe he thought he stood as good a ohance on Delaware street as he did in the woods or fields with the hunting season on, for accidents w :i happen. Everything had gone right until he decided to give the courthouse the up-and-down. With' palpitating nose and nonchalant gait he made the cir cuit of it, but when he entered the playground he was discovered, A blade of grass proved a poor hidins place. The women screeched, the hoys yelled, and with every lope of the rabbit the jgarade grew. -He de cided that the' Market House was the place for him, but some one heaved a sack at him. He. swung into high speed and col lided with two city dogs, which, never having met a rabbit personally, declined to recognize him. But, aside from this, lie was not neglected. Bunny made for the fountain in the courthouse yard and swooped around one side just as a young man came around the other. This person used football tactics and tried to "fall on the ball,” but when he fell Bunny was tar away. Then the rabbit’s old yearning to view the fascinating in terior of the Market House reas serted Itjodf and he vanished under a building in that neighborhood.—In dianapolis News. When They Mined the Nile. In the Sudan campaign as the Brit ish troops approached Onldurman the Khalifa Abolish conceived the idea of upsetting the. British gunboat ex pedition by mining the Nile. A former officer of the Egyptian army whom he had long held prisoner was orders ed by the khalifa to construct a couple of mines, which were produced forth with. They were primitive in form, consisting, lp fact, of two old iron boilers stuffed with gunpowder, in wnich was concealed a pistol with a string attached to the trigger whereby the charge could be exploded. The first mine was laid by the Ismallia and worked by a native crew, and demon strated its efficiency by exploding on trie instant, sinking the Ismailia and killing the crew, including the mine constructor. The khalifa was delighted, not at the accident, but at the testimony to the power of the invention, and immedi ately ordered the emir in charge of his arsenal to lay tho second mine. The ameer, profiting by experience, insured his safety by putting the Nile into the boiler before.he put the boiler into the Nile lie then carried out the immer sion successfully, to the Joy of Abdul lah, who loaded him with ‘‘presents and praises.”—Manchester Guardian. The Sikh's Disc of Death. The Sikhs fighting in the war can certainly claim to possess the most unique form of weapon, of any military unit In the campaign. This is a hand thrown missile, composed of metal similar In shape to the discus with which -we have been made familiar in Roman history. Its edge is sharpened like a razor, and the weapon, when thrown with a peculiar circular mo tion, has extraordinary penetrating power, it cuts like a knife through paper. At a distance mf a hundred yards the disc is capable of cutting its way through a piece of hard wood two inches thick. It is the peculiar twist given to the weapon when it is thrown which causes the cutting edge to bury itself so remorselessly in anything that it meets. It is doubtful whether any .but the Sikhs could effectively use this unique weapon. They made deadly use of the disc of death at the Battle of Dixmude.—London Tit Bits. LONELY BACHELORS DELUGED They Advertised Their Plight, and Now the Girls Are Getting Active.

(Evanston, <I11.) Dispatch to Kansas City Star.) A telephone raid on the T. M. C. A. here by young women who had read a newspaper item desscrlbing the “lone liness” of the dormitory residents, has been followed by a flanking movement by which .the bachelors are sought by telephone at their places of employ ment. During the last few evenings telephone calls at the Y. M. C. A. have been deceived at the rate of one every two minutes, and hundreds of letters have come to the dormitory dwellers from young women who express a de sire to relieve the lonely plight of the men. Yesterdhy the Social Spinsters’ Club, with a membership of ten, pro posed a party at its clubhouse, with the provision that the bachelors finance it, and. that only ten men shall attend. The recipients of all this unaccus tomed feminine attention, however, are becoming apprehensive lest their em ployers look with dsfavor upon the sadden access of perfumed tints in the business mail, and of the Insistent tele phone calls during business hours. FUR COATS SAVES WOMAN. i. Steps From Moving Train and Calmly Brushes Cinders From Wrap. (Kansas City Times.) That a heavy fur coat has more than one use was demonstrated when Mrs. Frank Wehrle stepped from a moving train between the Grand avenue and Maine street viaducts and escaped without setious injury. The brakeman on Rock Island passenger train No. 23, from St. Louis, was opening the vesti bule doors preparatory to stopping at the Union station. He had opened one door and was turning to open another when Mrs. Wehrle, thinking the train had stopped, stepped off. The brake man pulled the bell cord and stopped the train. When he ran back to the place Mrs. Wehrle had fallen she was calmly brushing the cinders off her fur coat. Who suffered only a slight bruise on one arm. Mrs. Wehrle came here from St. Louis. Her son, E. J. Wehrle, of Chica go, was waiting on the station platform when her train drew in. They left two hours later for Meade, Kan. HYPNOTIZED BY AUTO HORN. Sound Waves Cause Boy to Walk Into Path of Speeding Machine. (Gardena Dispatch to Los Angeles Times.) Standing in the middle of the road near his home, apparently fascinated by the vibrations of a new automo bile horn, Henry Myers, a 12-year-old boy, was struck by a 'machine which wras passing through this town. Young Myers was apparently hyp notised. So interested was he in the sound of the horn that he walked slowly across the road, allowing the car to strike him. The motorist stopped and picked the lad up and took him to a doctor’s office, where numerous scratches and abrasions were dressed. Young Myers was later sent to his home, not much the worse for his lit tle mixup with the motor car. The boy was on his way home when the accident happened, and was crossing the street when the machine passed. The car was equipped with a new style horn, the sound waves* of which literally hypnotized the boy, causing him to stand in a daze. Old Forts Better Than New. One of the peculiar features of the war in Europe has been the discovery that the old-fashioned earthworks proved better able to resist the great shells of the Germans than the model'll concrete and steel fortifications. Among the forts at Antwerp was one old one which contained little con crete or steel, its chief defense system being massive earthen barriers. Into these idles c f solid earth the big shells of the. Germans sunk only about a yard, while in the newer forts j they penetrated twice that distance. It was also found that the damage caused by these shells was much less In the old than in the new forts. The explosion shattered the concrete in the new forts, while in case of the I earthworks it simply made a shallow j hole. I It was found earlier in the cam paign that the modern fort was of little value when attacked by modern artillery. A single, big shell demolished one of the forts of Liege, and the forts at Namur were wrecked by the giant projectiles with little delay. On the other hand, intrenciiments which sheltered strong forces of in fantry, protected by artillery, have proved a hard problem for the armies of both the Germans and the allies. In fact, the success of the French in preventing the Gormans from in vading France from the east, has been due to the fact that the troops in the tritrenchments along the hills have been able to keep the Germans away from the forts. In other words, the army has protected the forts. It is not likely that the day of the fort has passed, but certainly no na tion will bo so foolish as to place its dependence on forts of steel and con crete. The main defense of the rations will be now, as always, not the castle and the fort, but the men.—Sacramen to Union. Concerning Homesickness A note In a recent issue of the Eng lish Lancet describes homesickness as a specific disease of mental origin, with physical symptoms, which is liable to afflict recruits, especially young re cruits. It is, of course, a kind of melan cholia. but happily no cases seem to have been observed in our own now army. No doubt many cases may be noted among interned prisoners of war. Cases were observed during the Ameri can Civil War and an American army surgeon has given a picture of the dis j ease. I “The symptoms produced by this j aberration of mind." he writes, “are j first great mental dejection, loss of [appetite, indifference to external influ ences, and slight hectic fever. As the disease progresses it is attended by hysterical weeping, a dull pain in the head, throbbing of the temporal arter ies, anxious expression of the fa.ee, watchfulness and increased fever and wasting. Among young prisoners of war It is the worst complication to be encountered, as the writer can truth fully affirm.” This sounds like a very bad form of homesickness indeed. The Italians, by the way, speak familiarly of homesickness as a regular disease of recruits. "Switzerland's navy” sounds absurd; yet since the outbreak of the war Switzerland has had to use the rights of a naval power. Ten German schoon ers have been detained in Basel harbor and the federal flag hoisted on board them. Russia has three distinct armies— tbd army of European Russia, the army of the Caucasus and the Asiatic army. Exactly how many million men she can call on in time of war is rather uncertain, but her peace Btnelictb aU told, about 1,200,000.

Competitive Printing People no longer ask for a dollar’s worth of printing. Printing doesn’t'come in bulk. Booklets are not bought in assorted sizes as you buy collars. Printing is now sold with and as a service. Every piece of printed matter is made to fit a particular occasion _to appeal to a special class of readers, to express the personality of an individual ad vertiser. First, we offer good printing—as good as can be done. To that we add suggestions, ideas, layouts of our own to make the print ing effective—whether it is a label or an ad vertisement. ;r We are glad to give you an estimate of what a job will cost, but an estimate upon a job of printing is valuable only when each printer is estimating on the same job. That seldom happens. Paper costs 3 cents to 25 cents a pound. L1, Ink costs 25 cents to $5 a pound. Taste, originality, knowledge—these are almost priceless. If you are a good judge of all these things—then you can decide between esti mates. Competitive printing, however, never secures such good results as reposing confidence in a printer of proved worth. The next time your attention is arrested by a printed thing well done, stop and ask yourself: Can such work be done by the printer who figures lowest? No. Cheap printing conveys the idea that you are a cheap man, doing a cheap business at cheap prices. It seems unfortunate that people do not understand that the most interesting state ment that can be put in type has no appeal unless the vital words are properly mar shalled by an intimate knowledge of paper, ink, and type faces plus—and here is the big secret—the knowledge of the particular re quirement in hand and the ability to handle it. You» printer should become the master workman who moulds the many elements into one harmonious whole. Naturally we are subject to the wishes of our customers. If you desire to attend tc the various parts which go to make the completed job—if you feel competent to be come the master mind, we will become me chanics and produce for you the printed work which will be your conception of what you want. But if you leave it to us we will adapt your ideas and embody your needs into the harmonious expression which you seek. If it is results or effectiveness that you are after we can help you. That subtle dignity, fitness of purpose, and general impressive ness become an intangible part of our work. To summarize. Don’t haggle on cost; haggle for effectiveness. Don’t waste your time dickering. Come to headquarters. Come where they have the equipment, the men, the ability, the reliability, and the cre ative service. We shall be pleased to prove our claims of our ability to serve you intelligently and well. KENNEBEC JOURNAL PRESS, Augusta, Me.

SPARKS FROM MAME WIRES. Hard Fire to Fight at Milltown. The firemen of both sides of the river had to contend with one of the hardest experiences of the winter Tuesday morn ing when they were called out in the se vere cold to fight a stubborn blaze In the Rodney house, so called, at Cleveland street, Milltawn, Me. The house was oc cupied by Lot McDonald and family and he had a hard time saving a small part of hie household effects. The house was damaged considerably and the loss is quite heavy.

THIS UTILE AD BROUGHT 150 CUSTOMERS AND $50.00 IN BUSINESS AT A COST OF $1.40 Here is a convincing argument for the people who think they can’t advertise unless they use a large space. In the Journal the small ad gains its prominence by clas sification. By classifying the little ads they automatically slip into place, just as your name does in the telephone di rectory. And people become accustomed to look for them because they find so many valuable suggestions. The cheer ing thing about it all is that the “Local Notice” or the Clas sified Ad costs so little that anyone can afford to pay for it —or for a “cluster” of them if more than one should be need ed.

I 1 MARKET REPORTS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. Features of the Day's Dealings in All the Leading Stocks. New York. Feb. 4.—Renewal of li quidation in several of the high-priced dividend paying railway shares and continuance of the recent pool manip ulation in certain of the specialties, notably the automobile issues, were productive of some mixed price move ments in today's stock market. Cana dian Pacific and Southern Pacific as well as part of the Granger group were under pressure, which seemed to re sult more from liquidation than short selling. Rumor attributed the selling of Ca nadian Pacific and some other favor ites to the foreign account, but inter national brokers reported little li quidation for Europe. United States Steel and the coppers were sympa thetically affected, the one notable exception being Bethlehem Steel, which was the most active feature of the morning session, with a rise of al most 3 points, which it maintained, de spite another authoritative denial of the rumor that the stock Is soon to be placed on a dividend. American Sugar was exceptionally weak among the issues of its kind, losing 4 points on persistent selling, while beet sugar declined a point. United States Realty, one of the dor mant specialties, dropped 8 points to 40, its minimum. In the final hour prices underwent a readjustment, some stocks making partial recovery, whle others fell back again. Approv al of the Erie Railroad's application to increase the interest rate on the notes of one of its subsidiaries will probably be followed by new finaficing for that account. In addition to the $5,000,000 Manitoba loan taken by lo cal banking interests, a syndicate made up mainly of New York bank ers was awarded the $8,000,000 Balti more bond issue. Among the adverse railroad returns for December submitted today were Missouri Pacific, with a net, loss of $200,000; Rock Island, $228,000 and St. Louis, Rocky Mountain and Southern, $536,000. London's markets were barely steady, due in part to dissatisfaction of the labor element over railway conditions. The Bank of England re ported another material loss—almost $T.600,000—of gold and a slight reduc tion of liability reserves. The new Pennsyylvanla 4*4s were the principal feature of the irregular bond market, with heavy selling un der their recent best. Total sales par value, were $2,220,000.

JAIL VISITORS LOCKED IN. r* Warden, Showing Sightseers Through Prison, Breaks Key After Ctoeing Cell. (Sunbury (Pal Dispatch to N. Y. Sun) When more than 20 residents of Sham okln, attending court (here, procured passes and went to visit the Northum I berlar.d county Jail, William Neary, the turnkey, took them in a cell room, and, according to custom, locked them In. When they were ready to get out the I turnkey found that his 'big key hadt broken off in the lock. For hours local locksmiths tried to re lease the unwilling prisoners, but their skill was unequal to the resistance of the clpgged mechanism. At night Warden Wallace W. Barr passed their suppers between the bars, and then telephoned to Philadelphia for an expert, who opened the door the next morning. i Fire in Blizzard at Buxton.

The Journal cannot be held responsi ble for the preservation or return or rejected communications. Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to Kennebec Journal Co, Publish ers, Augusta, Maine. Friday, February 5, 1915 Speaking of Poll Taxes. Senator Dunton of Penobscot urges the State to undertake the wholesale purchase of primary votes. No; he doesn't ask that they be Democratic votes, he would serve all parties alike —three dollars if you have enough public Interest to vote in the primaries. As we understand it, this would not be expected to interfere with the more or less wholesale transactions said to be tolerated in Portland and some oth er places, but would be in addition thereto. Mr. Dunton has introduced an act making the poll tax uniform in every city, town and plantation—three dol lars. And he closes his sagacious prop osition with the provision that tno polls of all persons shown by the check list of the last preceding primary elec tion where state officers were nomi nated, to have voted at said election, shall be exempt from taxation. Now, if some one with the real in terests of the State at heart could se cure the passage of an act providing that no person should be allowed to vote in September or November elec tions, unless three months before elec tion day the records of the city or town showed that he had paid his poll tax, something worth while would be accomplished. Something New in Hunting Laws. An act making illegal the hunting of Maine’s birds or animals at night, has been introduced in the Maine Legisla ture. It provides that SO minutes aft er sunset game protection goes on with a snap, and whoso cracks a cap there after offends the State. And until the sun again appears thou shalt not even lift a stone in menace of bird or ani mal comfort. The gamey skunk may carouse in peace in the early summer twilights, when chickens are ripe, and none shall say him nay. He will be safe within the State’s protection, if he confines himself to the golden moments be tween a half hour after sunset and sunrise. We would suggest a companion act providing a board for the inspection and uniform regulation of stopwatches for guns and rifles, else some unlucky hunter rend the law. Let us consider how perilously easy it would be for an excitable hunter to overstep the re strictions. Let us suppose he had fol lowed a noble deer all day, down through the swampy places and up over the hard wood ridges. The sun suddenly decides to put one over on him and sinks quietly out of sight, over in Senator Galllnger’s pasture. Intent on a freshening trail the hunter heeds not. On and on—and on—until at precise ly 29 minutes and 48 seconds past sun set, he sights the buck—ah I a noble set of antlers, at least 16 points, ■well balanced, beautifully colored, perfect, matchless. The hunter wastes one whole second in idle admiration of that mounted head in his dining room. Up comes his rifle—is it 98 yards, or 102? He measures—with his eye—the distance and gets his bead through the peep. One, two—Oh! yes the buck is wait ing. The hunter’s heart turns over a couple of times as his finger caresses the trigger. Softly, at first, he presses, as he gulps once or twice, and tries to keep the rifle from executing a reactionary movement. The instant has arrived and he is Just closing his eyes before the last convulsive pull, when— "Jee whiz!'” (or words to that effect) “I never thought—what time is it?” He lowers his rifle and Jerks out his watch. (This was previous to the universal adoption of our suggestion of stopwatches on rifles). It is precisely 30 minutes and 14 seconds after sunset. A look of bitter disappointment crosses the face of our hero—for he is a law abiding citizen of Maine—as he turns away, and the buck still stands defl an'Jy within his rights—and the sun smiles on New Hampshire, remarking as she moved on over Vermont: ‘Til see you all again tomorrow—mean while the Lincoln gentleman has cared for the wood folk.” The Job of a “Hero.’’ Gushing 1,000,000 gallons of marsh water a minute when President Wood row Wilson touches the button in Washington on February 13, five huge pumps, the largest in the world, will begin the colossal task of draining 40, 000 acres of land partly in New Orleans and which will reclaim and make ready for habitation and farming delta alluvial soil as rich as the valley of the Nile. This gigantic work of conserva tion, backed by the State of Louisiana itself, is part of the vast scheme of systematic reclamation of alluvial lands which, put under way a few years ago, will eventually bring into use 10,000,000 acres of land now idle and waiting for its ages of accumulat ed richness to be put Into service for the benefit of mankind. Holland drain ed 40,000 acres of her soil after 75 years and with an expenditure of |3, P 200,000. This so-called “drainage dis trict” of Louisiana, with an equal number of acres, will be drained In three days after the pumps are started and after’a year of construction. The cost will be $234,000. Land which here tofore has beet) normally valued will be worth $3000 an aero and, as a mat ter of comfort In human living and health, the mosquito will perish as the waters fall. -It was a case of letting George- do it, and his work was the work of a hero, for George At Hero, a wealthy citizen of New Orleans, was the au thor and promoter of the project which will give the world a tract of inestim able value. Thus we discover things that have been before our eyes for all time. —a A Booze Trust “Warning.” The liquor Interests are sending out a slip, said to have been copied from a Washington special dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer, a paragraph of Which follows. "Senator Kern of Ind., today criti cised Senator Sheppard, of Texas, for his effort^to place the District of Co lumbia under prohibition by a “rider” on an appropriation bill, and served notice that the majority will give little consideration to such “riders" as they threaten seriously to impede the con clusion of the Democratic program by March 4.” In other words the liquor trust serves notice through the Democratic party that it is on the watch for eves* endeavor of decency to restrict its un holy traffic. The booze business is fighting now with its back to the wall. School Lunch Benefits The other day we received a let ter from an apparently somewhat dis turbed matron, denouncing the school lunch custom. Her letter waS rather forceful and we answered her as soothingly as we» could. Perhaps by this time she would be willing to read what an expert has to say of the school lunch movement. The Journal of the American Med ical Association says "the school lunch scheme has fostered educational and social as well as economic purposes.” It declares that school lunches have become established in a large number of our cities, and a defense for their institution is now unnecessary. The maintenance of such a service is no longer defended solely on the basis of the needs of the poorer classes, but is encouraged In ways to avert the criticism that the school lunch leads to pauperizing and to the neglect of maternal responsibility in the home. The unquestioned benefits of a well chosen warm lunch, usually supplied at the cost of the materials and ser vice, have impressed both teachers and parents so that even the well-to do commend and approve this latest innovation in the routine’of1 the school day. As a rule, the school lunch room provides better food than the street vender. In most places the foods are chosen by persons trained in the field of dietetics, and the variety of dietary articles offered at one cent a portion is frequently quite impressive. It in cludes soups, salads, sandwiches, fruits, puddings and other dishes. The New York School Lunch Committee, in co-operation with the Bureau of Welfare of School Children of the As sociation for Improving the Condition of the Poor, for example, has main tained a service available to over 24,000 children in 17 public schools situated in districts in which the need of such service is pressing. The registration has run as high as 2,353. In addition to this noon warm lunch service, the committee has operated a special 3 cent warm lunch of milk and crackers at 10 A. M. for anemic, ungraded and crippled classes. It begins to appear that the school lunch movement has promise to contribute to the general welfare in a direction almost as im portant as that of the proper nour ishment of the body. Educational and social possibilities, at first unforeseen, are being brought to notice. The child ren of the w7ell-to-do parents and the children of the poor have learned “to sit quietly as one family, to talk pleasantly with each other, to eat their food properly; and many acts of coifrtesy and generosity have been encouraged;” The appeal which the school lunches have made has not in frequently been manifested by mothers who have had their interest in re spect to special foods and dietary pro cedures aroused. A Somerset correspondent writes, somewhat cynically: “Potatoes 30 cents a bushel—‘prosperity’ for the farmer! Price of pork going, down and the price of corn and wheat going up— more prosperity for the farmer!” And yet, in these good psychological times of Democracy he should thank God that he is a farmer and has a roof over his head and three squares a day. Caught with the plunder aboard, they tried to hide behind the Aroos took Warrior. And that modest but somewhat frank gentleman called at tention to the breath of some of those who had been eating political onions. YATES HUGOED HIS WIFE, FREE MAN SAYS.—Globe headline. “Seems to me Yates had a right to hug his wife; if he were married,” mad wags P. P.—So They Say in Boston Globe. And he would hardly kiss his wife if he were not married, so there you am. Speaking automobilely, the effort seems to be to put chains on the pneu matic bread loaf.—Manchester Union. Because of the difficulty of pronun ciation, we wish you would change that to "automobiliously.” It is to laugh! The President begs co-operation from business. Co-oper ..'#."1 option In what—to let him do business with them or to play politics with him? Of course those Democrats whose judgment Is not controlled by the party whip are ‘‘conspirators” and “bought up” by the wicked Repub licans! Capt. Werner Horne demands pro tection from the consequences of his viciousness. Now if he had the Thaw fortune behind him— New York’s assembly passed the suffrage resolution. Truth goes march ing on. Maybe the bridge dynamiter crank, thought we needed a ‘‘Covered Bridge.” “Progressive Democrats” now ap pear in the United States Senate. There are no two ways about it— some monkey got his tail In acrack. Maine Gossip The Fatherland. Where is the tru* man’s fatherland? Is it where he by chance is born? Doth not the yearning spirit scorn In such scant borders to be spanned? Oh, yes; his fatherland must be As the blue Heaven wide and free! Is it alone where freedom is, Where God is God and man is man? Doth he not claim a broader span For the soul’s love of home than this? Oh, yes; his fatherland must be As the blue Heaven wide and free! Where’er a human heart doth wear Joy’s myrtle wreath or sorrow's gyves, Where’er a human spirit strives After a life more true and fair, There, is the true man's birthplace grand. His is a world-wide fatherland! Where’er a single slave doth pine. Where'er one man may help another— Thank God for such a birthright, brother— There is the true man’s birthplace grand, His is a world-wide fatherland! —James Russell Lowell. The 21st annual ball of the Norway Clerks’ Association Tuesday night at Norway in spite of the storm was at tended by over 100 couples and a grand good time enjoyed. Chandlers Or chestra of Portland furnished splendid music for an order of 16 dances, fol lowing a concert lasting an hour. The ladies were beautifully gowned. 'Boston Globe: Capt. Charles A. Q. Norton, the famous one-armed pioneer in Christian Science, died at his home here Tuesday after a short illness. He •was born in Bangor, Me., Nov. 12, 1840, and enlisted in the 1st Maine Cavalry, losing an arm at Fort Fisher. He was a Christian Science healer with a large following in Connecticut. The Auburn School Board has a pe culiar case on its hands in the matter of assessing tuition charges to Hewitt M Lowe, former sheriff of Androscog gin county. Mr. Lowe had a residence on High street in Atfburn and his chil dren attended the Auburn schools. When the assessors made their report he was Charged with a poll tax and a tax on personal property. He appeared before the assessors and claimed a residence In Turner, showing tax receipts to prove his claim. The matter was dropped at that. About three weeks ago however, a bill for $100 for tuition charges was sent^to Mr. Lowe. The amount was con siderable more than Che tax had been. City* Sjlicitor Atwood was consulted and notified the school authorities that the bill was legal. Another search for Portland's bear was made by James Lyons, leading^ a party of three In an expedition that covered the premises of Charles C. Tuttle, 376 Westbrook street, near j whose home the animal was first seen. I The same success attended this hunt as previous ones—nothing doing. Not a trace of the big black bear could be found by the hunters, and they re turned home vowing that they would get him yet. In the western part of the State, says the Eastern Herald, Milo is considered to be away up in Aroostook, for dis tance, and in upper Aroostook the town is considered to be pretty well west. The government splits the difference and says the town is in the exact center of the state. Postmaster F. E. Monroe tells us that all postoiflces in the State are in the first and second zones, which are identical, if Milo is the shipping point. The zone circle in cludes the top row of towns in Aroos took, and also cuts the most south westerly town in the State, thus bring ing every town in Maine within this zone. But Bangor is too far south, and the upper row of towns is thus put into the third zone. Capt. and Mrs. Warren Hutchinson celebrated their 50th wedding anni versary Saturday evening, Jan. 30, at theii^attractive home at South Brooks ville called Roseland, by filling the house with relatives and friends who enjoyed an event long to be remem bered, as such days are not generally lived up to by but few people. Rev. Mr. Bradeen performed the marriage service using the single ring service as was done in 1865. Roseland was tastefully decorated with green and gold. The big golden bell under ■which the couple stood was suspended by ribbons, which were festooned across one corner of the parlor. Instrumental music was furnished by Mrs. Orvis Gray and DeForest Gray of Gray’s Inn. Capt. Isaac Hutchinson sang two solos. Two of James Condon’s daugh ters sang a duet and Miss Marie Tap ley sang Silver Threads Among the Gold, accompanied by Mrs. Orvis Gray on the organ. There were several recitations by Mrs. Addie Black, Mrs. Sadie Black, Mrs. Bradeen and Mrs. Hattie Hale, which were very ap propriate for the occasion. Many very nice and useful presents filled a large table. Among them were: Two golden clocks, gold coin, a lamp, linen towels, napkins, china, glass, orange spoons, cold meat fork, sugar shell, pickle .fork, toilet set and other‘articles. Six teams from Cape Rosier with 14 friends enjoyed the moonlight ride and the Hutchinson hospitality. Their only daughter and her two sons entertained the guests. Capt. Black and one son were away and unable to be present. Relatives and friends from other towns were invited, but owing to the cold wave not so many were present. Many kinds of delicious cake was ser ved with hot coffee, ice cream and home made candy. At a late houi the party separated for their hornet wishing this much respected couple many more yean of wedded peace fulness. Portland people evidently approve of having their children attend school in a blustering snow storm, remarked the Press Wednesday. At any rate yes terday, although the weather was de cidedly inclement, and although the no school signal did not sound for eithei session, not a single kick was register ed at the office of the. superintendent of schools. This is a condition of un alloyed bliss that very seldom prevails, for no matter how much judgment or discretion is used in the ringing of the no school bell, there are always a few discontented folk whose opinion re garding the advisability of a discon tinuance of sessions does not tally with that of the school authorities. De spite the fact that the schools as a whole were in session yesterday pupils at the Stroudwater and East Deering schools had a vacation owing to the fact that the cold was so great it was impossible to hold classes. There are 14 hoop-making plants In Princeton and a great many men and in some cases women are making hoops.

Belfast Republican Journal: An am ateur gardener of this city raised some Brusseils sprouts last season for the first time. With an abundance of better liked vegetables not many were used and in clearing up the garden in the fail the plants were left in the ground. On ex amining them last week after the rain had removed the snow that covered, them the "little cabbages" were found in ap parently good condition and some were cooked Friday, and proved to be as pal atable as when first used. Ethelbert Loud of Round Pond has a fine specimen of a bird but it has a-mys tery that- he cannot understand. He bought a White Emden gander of a party in Philadelphia and received word he was shipped by express on a certain ■date. Mr. Loud received the bird two weeks later and was very much sur prised when he opened the box to find a Grey Coulouso. He can only account for the change by the long time coming. Mr. Loud said when he buys another bird from a distance to be sent by ex press, he will have a written agreement, that it will stand the journey without changing color or breed. With no outstanding debts and a bal ance of $2,249.37 in the treasury, the fi nancial condition of Lincoln county may be said to be about the best of any in the State. According to Treasurer Rich ard H. T. Taylor in his statement just published, the total disbursements for the past year amounted to $19,324.86 .which included the cancellation of notes to the value of $5000. The receipts amounted to $21,574.59. According to the county commissioners the cost of crim inal prosecutions in the Supreme judi cial court amounted to $1,413.16, the criminal costs before the Lincoln munl telpal court $558.04 -while the total cost of board of prisoners amounted to $68.31. The old jail is no longer used, the county commissioners believing it cheaper to board prisoners elsewhere and so they rent the residential portion and have re ceived $107.75 rental since last February.

The something to defend was he independence of their kingdom.] Th something to reclaim is that part •f ’lit ancient Serbian empire which I ten after the victories over the Turks and Itulpara. sti.l lies outside the lim- j i its of tHe Serbian kingdom. The traveler in Serbia is somewhat i i dazed at first to discover among the j prisoners of war a large percentage of j Serbs of the purest race and tongue. i Living ir. Austrian territory they were i forced to serve in that army until a I -urrender pave them the opportunity to serve their own country. Some are helping in the military hospitals while others are doing scout and picket duty along th*' Albanian border. Lying far beyond the European war center, Serbia seemed a difficult desli- I nation for a journey beginning at New York, but experience proved easier than anticipation. Eelgrade, the front door of the Balkans was impossible in deed, but Salonika, the back door, was 1 found hospitably open. In wartime buck doors and side alleys are apt to he safer and quicker means of petting about than guarded doors and fortified frontiers With Paris easily attained, the rail journey from there to Brinidsi, via Turin and Milan, differed little from 1 what it might have been in ordinary i times. The crowds of uniformed sol- j dters at the stations and the remark able number of women in mourning, however, gave evidence of the changes of the past few months. Swift little Italian Fteamers make the journey from Erindisi to Salonika an enjoyable one, ending always with an inspiring •view of Mount Olympus upon which the Greek peasants still believe the ancient gods sit in judgment over the fate of Greece. Clean, comfortable, first class cars rake the traveler from Salonika to Pjejeli. at the Serbian frontier. A j change of trains at this point brings no j deterioration in railroad facilities, i These trains are daily crowded with Serbians of the better class who i 1 left their homes in the interior dur ing the Austrian invasion, but are re turning to them, assured it Is safe to do so. At Djejeli the chief of customs. Mr. Simitch. invited the correspondent of The Associated TYess. together with other foreigners, into his office where Turkish coffee and cigarettes were served. This courtesy was repeated by officials at nearly every station where the train stopped and is one with which the traveler meets in all j parts of the Balkans. A splendid new municipal building at Djejeli was converted into a hospital soon after the war began. As soon as -he wounded were able to leave the overcrowded hospitals at the front they were sent to such remote spots j as Hus. The hospital is scrupulously clean. In mid-December some 60 men were lying on iron bedsteads, all look i mg comfortable and well cared for, though there were no nurses. A num ber of Austrian prisoners of Serbian race were acting as orderlies to the two doctors in charge. For prisoners of the enemy to be serving as nurses seemed veritably a union of the lion and the iamb until the situation was explained. In oih of the smaller rooms of this hospital, where the worst eases were confined, lay a child, about ui>. years old. bound in bandages almost from head to foot. The peasant mother sat by its side The child it seemed had been struck with the cross of an Aus trian musket and its shoulder had beer; pierced by a bayonet. Tnt mother had escaped to the woods with the wound ed chad in her arms and had wandered about for three or four days before coming within the Serbian lines. This same mother had lost husband, father and brother in thospite Serbia’s many wars, tin present struggle brought for t!a first time an invasion of Serbian soil It was the first time the women of the country had been brought ir, contact with actual warfare and many of them have been driven mad >m fright ami the* terrible scenes the;* liavt wit nessed.

BRITISH TRUSTS ARE “SOAKING” GOVERNMENT i Associated Press Correspondence) Dondon. Jan. 20.—Charges that army and navy contractors have sold to the government at higher figures than to private consumers will be pressed when the House of Commons reas sembles Feb. 2. It is alleged that the manufacturers have formed a ring and charge the government, for example. £62.50 a ton for galvanized iron as against $58.75 in the open market. Cot makers put their prices up 15 per cent when war was declared. A group £>f M. P.'s have promised an investigation into the actions of these trusts, which have been formed In the various trades. MODERN WARFARE CASUALTIES LESS THAN ANCIENTS' f Associated Press Correspondence t Amsterdam. Jan. 15.—Contrary to the popular Impression that modern wars result in a greater number of deaths than those of the past, the very opposite is true, according to an article reproduced in the Tijd. It is pointed out that this is largely due to the progress in surgery, the use of effica cious antiseptics, the great develop ment of modem army sanitation, and the high efficiency of the medical troops. But the greater degree in civiliza tion and the existence generally of a highly developed humanitarianism have also helped to reduce the numbers of dead of the battlefield, it is stated. In antiquity prisoners of war were I hardly taken—the massacre followed the battle, and when males were car ried into slavery they generally were not part of the defeated army but members of the civil population of the country which had been invaded. At Cannae, the Carthaginians, for instance, lost only 5000, but killed TO,-* 000 Romans, or about SO per cent of the entire force which opposed them. The Romans, on the other hand, suf fered only a loss of 14 dead in the battle of Cheronea. but massacred 110.000 of the enemy. 90 per cent of the army they had defeated. During the Middle Ages this stale of affairs continued. Wounded and caji tives were killed without mercy, and the cities whose entire population was put to the sword were many. During the Thirty Years War a similar feroc ity prevailed, but an improvement be gan to make itself felt in the •'deci mation'' of prisoners of war. The cap tured soldiers were stood in line and then every tenth man was executed usual);* hanged on a nearby tree, with seme sort of accident governing who the first "tenth’’ victim snould be. Now and then it became necessary to apply this cruel system of selection as a measure of discipline to one’s own troops, generally when a mutiny had to be coped with and the men refused to say who their ringleaders were. Beginning with the Seven Years’ War. the number of deaths in battle and from wounds received have de creased in the following percentages: Percentage of killed in forces en :gaged: Seven Years' War .42 Napoleonic Wars .35 Crimean War .15 Italian War.10 Franco-Prussian ’War .14 Chinese War .3 0 Anglo-Boer War .9 Manehurian Wai »..35 Turko-Bulgarian Campaign .12 Turku-Servian Campaign .10 Turlco-Greek Campaign .8 The tendency of modern wars to show a constantly diminishing number of deaths is also indicated by some of the most important V>a!tles of these and other campaigns as the following list of percentages of the losses thr0 widows. REORGANIZATION OF THE BELGIAN ARMY (Associated Press Correspondence) Havre. .Jan JO.—The Belgian army has lately undergone a complete shake up and reorganization, followed by the retirement of all the generals com* manding divisions, including even the brilliant General Bertrand, who is in capacitated bv illness. These officers have been replaced by younger and more active men. From officials connected with the 1 Belgian government at Havre it is learned that the new army is divided into six divisions. Mixed brigades have been dispensed with, and as cavalry can play no active role in the present trench warfare, its officers and men are largely serving as infantry. A section i of auto-cannons has been created in imitation of the Germans who use these mobile weapons in their surprise attacks on Fumes and Coxy de. being able to run in close to the enemy lines and escape unscathed, especially during times of fog As thy Belgian cy clists have already established a rec ord of daring in their assaults within the German linos, the auto-artillery is i expected to give an equally good ac- count-of itself. Its commander is! Major Colon, late military attache at j Paris. BELGIANS RATHER STARVE THAN GO UN DER GERMAN RULE (Associated Press Correspondence) The Hague. Jan. "0.—The Rockefel j ler Commission for the relief of Belgi- I um has had little success in convir.c- ing Belgians the only thing for their country is the repatriation of all refu- j gees as fast as possible. The Rockefeller investigators reason entirely on economic and social i grounds. Belgians, they say. must re- I build their homes and become self supporting as soon as possible else I they will become pauperized for ah j time and lose their habits of indus- j try In reply, the Belgians charge that to return would be to acquiesce in Ger- s man rule and it is more important that they should starve in the ultimate hope of driving out the invaders than j, that they should raise food and manu- I facture supplies for the German army and pay taxes to support both the Ger man civil and military administrations To return, they say. would not be to work for themselves but for the benefit political and economic, of the Germans PANAMA CANAL TOLLS INCREASE IN DECEMBER (Associated Press Correspondence) Panama, Jan. 15.—Tolls collected from ships that passed through the Panama Canal during December, 1914. 1 aggregated $411,895.44 an increase of $24,653.04, as compared with November, the previous high month. The total amount of tolls collected to January i. was $1,547,100.45. Each of the first five months of canal traffic showed a sub stantial gain over the month prej-ious but since the first of this year there has been a slight falling off in traffic and January probably will show a decrease over the record month of De cember. The total tonnage, figured on a ca nal ton basis, that passed through the waterway aggregated 1.743,899 tons which was carried in 356 vessels of all classes. The December tonnage was not quite as large as the tonnage in November, although the tolls collected were greater. The December tonnage was 446.411 tons as compared with November with 448.801 tons. Of the 356 ships to use the canal, 36 were in ballast, or non-cargo car- Tiers Of the total tonnage 1,000.217 (tans were carried in 177 eastbound 1 ships and 743.682 tons in 179 west-| bound vessels._ HUB-MARK RUBBERS A HURRY CALL for rubbers on a nasty wet morning suggests Hub-Mark rubbers to most people.

This is a committee draft and provides for an appropriation of S50.000 appor tioned into two sums for each of the next two ensuing years. The plan of the committee drafting the bill is to begin a women's leformatory on the colony plan and the sum of *5*:i.000 will be suffi cient to make a eood beginning during the next two years. The bill creates a body of five trustees governing the insti tution. The trustees are to be appointed by the Governor and Council and it will by their duty to choose a site for the reformatory. The committee has visited similar institutions in other states and is well informed on the reformatory work proposed.

The road does not serve the town of Cushing, but other towns, especially Friendship and South tA aldoboro. Summer business in Friend ship is growing, but is discouraged by the condition of this road.

The Legislature appropriates about $200,001 each year for building such roads and never has any provision been made for assuring tiiat the investment of the State will lie perpetuated through proper main tenance.

It is said that mere presence of German submarines or the planting of German mines would not constitute a blockade winch, according to long estab lished principles of the state department, requires the maintenance of a fleet of warships sufficient to prevent any inter course with thc_b".ockaclecl port. Therefore the department regards the notice as similar to one issued by the j British government and to a preceding note from the German government re garding the waters of the North sea. both of which recited that mines had been town. Technically, the waters on the north and west coasts of France, therefore, are i to be regarded as within the war zone and American mariners are supposed to take notice of the warning and ente those waters at their peril.

The war which led to the changing of the name of the Russian capital from St. Petersburg to Petrograd and the change of the name of Berlin's Englische Strasse to Deutsche Strasse. with similar patriotic changes of names in other countries now at war has also caused scores of anglicized j surnames of British subjects of Ger man descent or extraction to be re corded in late issues received here ol the London Gazette, the official British 1 government paper. These shiftings of surnames from German to English sometimes take the form of literal translation, sometime: of abbreviation or other structural al 1 teration. For example, long forma! an nouncement is made in each case by David Leopold Bethel Castle, Lewis 1 Raphael Castle, Rosetta Castle.

John Stuart Hunt, United States vice con sul at Calcutta, in a report on this wonderful tree, says: "The mahua, malwa, mowha. mown or mowra tree of India is a large de eiduous tree throughout the forests of Delikan, Carnatic, west coast and Cen tral India and Gudtrat, stretching north as far as Oudhand Kumaun an 1 eastward across to Orissa. Though found in a purely wild state in many parts of India, the value of the flowers and fruit has caused it to be brought under more or less cultivation. The economic value of the tree lies in its edible flowers and oil-yielding seeds, although the gum or gutta that flows from incisions or abrasions on the stems shows an average of 48.9 per cent, gutta, 118.8 per cent, resin and 12.3 per cent. ash. The bark also is used as a dye, while all the properties of the tree are used to some extent medicinally. “The art of distilling these flowers is a very ancient one. For the manufac turer of spirits the flowers, when dried, are sold to village distillers or to the government distillers. The Gow er? are immersed in water for about four days; they are then fermented and thereafter distilled. If the distil lation has been carefully carried ou*. the spirit thus produced is not unlike Irish whisky. How Canada Got Its Name. The origin of the name Canada Is strange enough. The Spaniards visited that country previous to the Frencn and made particular search for gold ar.d silver, and. finding none, they of ten said among themselves, “Aea nada," meaning "There is nothing here." The Indians, who watched closely, learned this sentence. and its meaning. Later on the French ar rived, and the Indians, who wanted none of their company and supposed they had come on the same errand as the Spanish, were desirous to inform them in the Spanish sentence "Aw nada.” The French, who knew as lit tle of the Spanish language as they, supposed that the incessantly recur ring sound was the name of the coun try and ultimately christened it Can ada, which it has borne ever since.— Brockton Daily Enterprise. Russian soldiers have a legend that a general In w'hite uniform on a white horse rides through the ranks, and by iooking a soldier full in the face gives that soldier a charmed life. Those he i passes by with eyes averted are marked for death. He has not been around for i two weeks, according to the soldiers, be i cause he is riding through the German i and Austrian armies not looking at a thing. i»

Feb. 4.—Statistics showing thai from 1896 to the present time the balanc men. has been wrecked and is breaking up off the western coast of Lower California, ac cording to advices today to the navy de partment. The dispatch did not state whether the crew had been rescued. Hear Admiral Howard, commanding j the American fleet in the Pacific, who reported the wreck in a brief message from his flagship, was ordered to send whatever aid was available. Department omcials thought tonight that the cruiser Raieigh. off San Diego. Cal., yesterday, probably would be the first American essel to reach the scene. The Asama. an armored cruiser of 9750. tons, was built in 1*9S. For several months she has been patrolling the east ern Pacific.

Many members of the Yale alumni associa tion who have reproduced thhe Y'ale seal on their stationary will be sur prised to learn that through careless ness of artists the Hebrew characters of the motto "Light and Truth" have been made to read "Biashpheiners and Farmers.” The Yale Alumni weekly calls attention to this "lamentable er ror” in its issue today.

German ambassador here, acting on instructions from his government, suggested that an American consul su pervise the distribution of American foodstuffs on the steamer Wilheimina, en route to Hamburg, to insure that they went to German civilians ah me. Tiie British government has announced it is prepared to seize and pay for the cargo of the Wilheimina, which is now nearing the snores of Europe The vessel L would be allowed to depart. ■i The German ami assador's proposal to day followed his ass’Jran es of more than a w eek ago that no grain or ot ter supplies sent from he I'r.iied Starts to Germany would he s.>iz.-«l for the army. Today's sugp sti n applies only t the Wilhelmina. that being the only cargo at present under euestion. but it is un derstood that should suc-h consular s pervlsion of distribution be arranged tor the Wilhelmina. Germany doubtless will be willing for similar supervision f fu ture cargoes of foodstuffs front this country. EMPEROR’S TROOPS STiLL KAIKTA Ulf m mt* London, Feb. 4.—(12.34 I*. M. >.—Emperor I William's troops are still maintaining an j offensive movement on the battlefields to the west of Warsaw, in Russian Po land, but on the remainder of the eastern battle line the Russians claim to be ex erting the greatest pressure In the Car pathian mountain region the Russians claim that the fighting has gone against the Austro-German force, and the Rus sians again are reported to have crossed i into Hungary. On the western front—in Belgium, France and Alsace—artillery engage ments continue over most o. the battle line with isolated and sporadic German rushes on the French positions. Turkish activities along the Suez ca nal can hardiy be classed yet even as second rate skirmishes, though the at tack near Ismailia. midway between the Red and the Mediterranean seas, shows that the Turks are pushing further away from the coast of the Mediterranean. The newspapers of both Ciermar.y and England are filled with discussion and i speculation regarding ti e outcome of the proposed widespread German submarine activity against merchant shipping, and this phase of warfare is the absorbing topic throughout Gieat Britain. For some reason r.ot explained here there is a marked change of o ne relative to the predictions as to v. i.en Rumania will join the Allies. A few wee.^s ago it was said confidently in Great Britain that Ruma nia would enter the conflict perhaps b. the middle of February. Dispatches to the British newspapers from Bucharest, the Rumanian capita], now say that the government of Rumania has no intention of breaking its neutrality at an early date. The same prediction is made In dispatches received through independent sources. There likewise has been less talk in London of Italy's er.tr>' into the conflict. f» Emperor William today presumably is at Wilhelmshaven, and special dis atches from the Scandinavian countries specu late whether His Majesty’s vis’t means that some big move on the part of G r many's naval fleet is about to begin. VILLA DESCRIBES ACTIVITIES OF FORCES AGAINST CARRANZA El Paso, Tex.. Feb. 4.—General Fran cisco Villa, who yesterday proclaimed himself Provisional President of Mex ico, as well as military chief, in a tel egram to The Associated Press, today described the activities of his forces against Carranza troops. The message declared that the troops near San Lois Potosi had cap tured more than 300 prisoners, three trains and other equipment. It added that Lieutenant Colonels Verduge and Grendain had jined the Villa forces with a command of 400 men. General Estrada in Jalisco state, was report ed active. Villa gave as his reason for assuming the Presidential office that his forces had ben separated from the convention government headed by Roque Gonzales Garza as Provisional President, who left with the Zapata forces when they departed south from Mexico City at its occupation re cently by Gbregon’s Carranza troops. Villa telegraphed from Aguascalientes under date of yesterday the foUowiag: “On account of communications having been cut off between the con vention government and the division under my command, and as the pub lic service cannot be interrupted in the extensive zone which I control, I have found myself compelled to as sume the political authority, creating three political administrative depart ments: The foreign affairs and justice department, in charge of Attorney AI. Diaz Lombardo; Htate and communi cations. Gen. Luis De La Garza Car denas; treasury and industry. Attor ney Francisco Escudero." Francisco Escudero served in the original Carranza cabinet and secre tary of foreign affairs before the first chief's break with the Villa faction. In that capacity he conducted the rie j gotiations with William Bayard Haie, President Wilson's personal represen tative at Nogales. Shortly afterwards Escudero was dropped from the Car ranza portfolio. i Lombardo at one time was Carran- za European agent. GERMANY NOTES WILSON TENDER j CONSIDERATION FOR OT.

The Kreia> j Zeitung says: “This tender consider. at ion for Great Britain is the mon remarkable, inasmuch as it injury America herself." GREAT BRITAIN DETERMINED TO STOP U. S.

Feb. 4 —Much interest was manifested at the stale depar, m.nt today in the proposal of count Bernstorff, the German ambassador, that an American consular otScer su pervise the distributee of the cargo of foodstuffs on the American steam r Wilhelmina to make sure that t-e? reached the civilian population an not the armed forces of Germany State department officials declined to say whether American consular offi cers would be authorized to supervise the distribution of the foodstuffs and ,n British circle? it was intitnat a plan cohere to .rait; art ffour in German could be utilized r.- rely for the armed forces while the civilian population was fed y imported products.

Boston. Feb. 4.—The Xew England League of Baseball Clubs, today d ,d. it to present an unbroken front :.gainst ti'.e threatened invasion of its territory by the Federal League. Pro positi:; discussed prior to the meeting that the league should drop two cities and become a sis club circuit and that the season should be divided into two parts, received no support.

THE MASTER KEY By John Fleming Wilson of "The i patter ft photo-dram* Key** guy new be Men Filai Manufacturing company k to not only read ‘Tlae Mailer Key" in thto paper, toot a ward to ree moving picture* oi am rtory COPYRIGHT. 1014, BY JOHN FLEMING WILSON This Picture Is Shown Each Week at COLONIAL, AUGUSTA..FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OPERA HOUSE, WATERVlLLE.WEDNESDAY AN-D THURSDAY COLISEUM, GARDINER.WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY Tom Kane arrived early ilfthe morn ing to find the camp in an uproar. The Mexicans had quietly vanished. Rath was mourning the loss of the master key, and the Bheriff, staring at the now useless warrant, was beyond words to express his chagrin. John Dorr alone was serene, though he realized that Wilkerson had again checkmated him. But the immediate need of the hour was haste. He in structed Kane to take charge of the mine and directed Ruth to prepare for a trip to the coast that afternoon. “Luckily 1 copied those figures,” he said grimly. Two duys later John Dorr and Ruth were steaming up the channel from San Pedro in a launch fitted with div ing outfit. The skipper of the launch remembered perfectly the burning of the stenmer and, now that he knew the position where it sank, gave out great hopes of finding the hulk. “The sea is shallow there, and the tides aren't strong enough .to move her.” he stated. “The only thing is, somebody may have been ahead of us.” “Wilkerson couldn't be ahead of us,” John assured Ruth. “I inquired care fully at San Pedro.” Tet at noon fils unspoken fears were realized There was another powerful launch ahead of them which theii*»cap tain identified as a (firing and salvage boat from San Diego. "Tiler, they’ll get ahead of us!” Rctb mourned. “After all our trouble!” The launch captain and the diver both comforted her by stating that the given position was not far away, that It was sometimes a matter of days to find a wreck even if the approximate location was known and that at any rate they would soon l>e near enough to see whether the other craft was successful Two hours later Wilkerson's launch was swinging easily over the low Har EyeB Filled With a Mingling of Triumph and Hatred. ■wells not a mile from the bluff shore, and they could see his diver preparing to go down. “I hope he doesn’t find it!” breathed Dorr as he urged his own men to great er speed. ‘‘They’ve struck the spot if those figures of yours are correct," was the reply. “But time will tell.” When the two boats were close to gether John saw that Mrs. Darnell was with Wiikerson. He could see the bronze glint of her eyes, her eyes filled with a mingling of triumph and ha ired. And that look grew brighter and more malicious wbeD the diver, coming up from his first descent, showed a large bit of wood, evidently from a wreck. Though they could not hear the words, those on Dorr's boat could understand the directions that were being given. “Get over and send your man down, quick!" commanded Dorr. The captain nnd the diver glanced at •ach other doubtfully; then the former ■book his head. “No,” he said gruffly. “They found it, and it's theirs by sea law. Anyway I ain't going to send my man down when there's danger, as there always is with two men working under water at cross purposes.” “But they’ll get the chest!” cried Ruth. “Wait and see." said the imperturba ble diver. Half an hour later John turned to Ruth and said miserably: “Well, they Lave got it. That ends this excursion.” “Is that your chest missy?” demand ed the captain. “Yes. yes; my father’s!” “Well.” he said slowly, “there’s noth ing to hinder us going over and seeing what it looks like, is there?” He sig naled his engineer and put Lis helm over. As they ranged alongside the other launch Wiikerson raised his face to Dorr's wrathful gaze and smiled. In stinctively John put his hand on his gun. A rough touch on his shoulder recalled him. “This ain't any piratical cruise," the skipper remarked meaningly. “That man was hired the same as me. and we ain't got no fight with each other.” “Of course.” Dorr agreed willingly. Than he made a lean for the dock of the other boat, intent on regaining the chest single handed. For the moment Wilkerson was para lyzed by the boldness of this move, but t moment later strong bunds had flonr Ruth Tried to Comfort John Dorr. John back on his own deck, and hit skipper, thinking that matter! had gone far enough, soon put a safe distance between the two craft. A little later Wilkerson's launch started off down the channel. “Now or never,” Bald Dorr to the captain of his own boat. “Don't leoe sight of them. I must know whom they land and what they do with th< chest." “They’re hurrying some," was the re sponse. “but I guess we can keep ’em in Tiew, at least till night comes on.” While the moon was lighting up the smooth waters of the channel that night Ruth tried to comfort John Dorr, And as he listened to her gentle words and watched the loveliness of her face under the silver beams he forgot the bitterness in his heart and knew some thing of a happiness that Wilkerson. pawing over water soaked rags In rag ing despair, was never tf know. (To be continued.) MINES EXPLODE ON ROCKS AND IN SURF (Associated Press Correspondence) Amsterdam, Jan.
