Concerning Wool and Wool

There is no branch Of agricultu-

their pto6tableness. But ordinar.

Important 10 German AmerI.
cans.

The State Department is advised
Of some new positions taken by The
German Foreign Office which are
Of great Importance to German
American citizens. One is that
German fathers naturalized in
America who return to Germany
and then reside there Gin Germany
more than two years will be looked
upon, under the treaty Of 1868, us
having given up their American
citizenship. This position is con-
tested by the United States. Sec.
ond, the German Foreign Office de.
clared that minors horn in Ameri.
ca, sons Of German parents natut
allied, retain their American citi
zenship and may not be called on
to perform military duty even when
the father has given up his Ameri.
Gun citizenship. The German For.
eign Office, however, reserves the
right to refuse residence,to sons Of
such naturalized parents If the in.
teresls Of public order so demands,
and if actual circumstances show
that the persons in question make
use Of their American citizenship
in order to escape military service,
made obligatory to the native, born
population, without having any IN.
tention of taking up a permanent
abode in Germany or giving up the
advantages connected with such
residence. This position was also
objected to by the American Min.

The sentence of Angus Cannon,
the brother Of ex Delegate Cannon
and other Mormon elders under The
Edmunds law bears high testimony
TO the efficacy Of that act. Each
one Of the elders was sentenced Ia
six months imprisonment and
$500 fine. The temper displayed
by tho elders at the trial was docile
enough, aud shows that they have
been compelled at last To respect
the laws Of the United States, aud
that they even make some effnrt to
obey the letter, though they are
not willing to regard the spirit Of
the enactment, except upon CON,

The New Version.

What will most astonish the
plain church going people in the
new revision of the Old Testament,
is the absence Of the word she'll"
II the explanations have been cor.
reCtly teIegraphed from London,
the word shell" in all the poctical
books, such as the Songs Of Solomon
and the Psalms Of David, has been
replaced by the Hebrew word
"sheol," which in turn has been
changed to grave" and pit" its
literal translation, in the prose
passages with the word "shcol" in
the margin.
Few theologians in these days, il
any, interpret the word "bell" to
mean a burning lake or a place Of
physical torture, as was The gener.
eral Interpretation Of the word a
century ago. 1t may be further
said that this modern view is large
ly held today outside Of ecclesias.
