SCENES ON ISLAND OF PATOS.

Trinidad, in the mouth Of the Dragon,
as the channel which separates it from
the latter island is called. 1t was dis
covered by Christopher Columbus in
149S. when he was OH his third voyage
to America.
While the island itself is compare
lively Insignificant, being but mile or
so in extent and having no important
settlement on it, still it occupies a
strategic position with relation to the
Caribbean entrance of the great gulf OF
Paria and Trinidad's important harbor,
Port of Spain. \ fort and guns estab'
lished on Patos could command the
channel most effectively. Great Britain
is Of course fully alive to the impor,
lance of holding such an outpost. which
is undoubtedly of more value TO her
than to Venezuela. So it would appear
that the latter country will have some
trouble in maintaining its claim against
its formidable rival.
Small and apparently insignificant rs
it is. it may yet be the source Of much
wrangling and even bloodshed. Mean
while Herbert W. Bowen. our minister
to Nrnp%ura. has his hands full looking

CAUSES OF THE ROW
GHy VENEZUELA GOT INTO TROUBLE
WITH ENGLAND AND GERMANY.

BEGINNING of the Trouble which
Has Developed Into Wharf.-The Pa
tos Island Dispute aud It's Rela-
ton to Present Affairs.
While most people have in a general
way been aware that Venezuela was
in a serious muddle, very few knew
why England and Germany had sent
powerful fleets against and begun war
upon the South American republic.
The alleged reason by these two Euro
pean powers is the collection OF debts
and indemnties.
The kaiser's principal claim is that
of the German railroad, built at cost
of S10,0OO,OO0. upon which Venezuela
guaranteed { per cent interest, figure
reduced in 1895 to per cent. This III
terest Venezuela has defaulted for sew
eral years.

reason for England's activity against
Venezuela is her desire to settle the

The Advance in Refined Oil.

The Standard OH company has
made another 10 cent advance in
the price of refined oil at the sea
board. This makes the whole ad-
vance In refined oil In bulk In New
York St1o during the year, or
about "a per cent, while at the
same time the increase In crude Oil
was about "a per cent. In this
case il would seem that the Stand
ard has been cutting It's profits, but
this Is only apparent as the com
pany Is actually earning much more
than 1t did last year by reason of
having an enormous production OF
crude oil Of It's own, and has, there
tore shared In the benefits from the
advance In crude oil During the
year considerable improvements IN
methods have lowered the cos! OF
refining oils and economies were
introduced in handling 1t.
The following table shows the
price of refu' d oils today, as com
pared with the price the same day

ownership Of Patos island, on which
England recently raised her flag and
which has been in dispute many years.
The Patos island question was re.
opened last year by the action of the
Venezuela gunboat Augusta in captur-
ing certain British subjects OH the is
land. England protested, when Nene-
zuela replied by reiteratinS her long
standing claims to the island.
Venezuela bases her claim to the is
land On its proximity to the coast of
Guiria, from which it is distant only
three miles; that the International Law
institute has defined the territorial sea
us six miles. whereas the island of Pa
tos is more than ten miles from Trini-
dad, the nearest British possession;
further, that the treaty of March, 1910,
explicitly confirms the title Of FcneZu-
ella over all the islands near her coast
which were under the dominion OF
Spain in the initiative period of Nenezu'
elan independence"
Great Britain has advanced the con-
tention that when she conquered the
island Of Trinidad in 1891 sovereignty
over Patos also was obtained and SO
recognized by the Madrid government
and that Patos has remained in the
peaceful possession Of Great Britain for
more than a century, during seventy
years of which time Venezuela adj
vanced no counterclaim.

After the battle of Guasimas I was

wounded We're placed. There was one
young fellow, Eugene Clifford, who.
though he had not been badly hit, was
so reduced by the heat that | began to
fear he would succumb. He was a
plucky little chap under fire; that I
learned from several of the other pa
tients who had been in the fight with
him, but dropped under inaction. Be
sides he had been very delicately
brought up. | asked him if | should
not send word for some OF his family
to come out to him, but he said he had
run away from home to join the army
against his fathers express wish, also
knowing that it would be great blow
to his mother. Now he expressly de-
sired that they should not know of his
condition till he was we'll out of it.
But the weather grew hotter, and the
poor fellow kept losing strength. 1t
was plain that he was suffering from
nostalgia, or Inconsistencies a trouble
far more common in war than cow
ardice. Could | have brought some
member of his family to him felt
reasonably certain that it would save
his life, but didn't know whom to adj

was not the only man in the hospital |

time to take any action.
One day we secured lot of women

white caps and aprons and striped
dresses, many Il poor fellows face that
had been gloomy enough before lighted
up with new life. The day of their ar
rival was at work with a case so dis
tressing that l placed a screen about
the patient to shut him off from the
others From behind this screen 1
heard voices:
1T was very good Of you, Jenny, to
come down here to take care of me.
The surgeon wanted to send for some
one from home, but l wouldn't let
him. You see, mother didn't want me
to go to the war, and 1t would not be
the right thing to have any one come

A Rare Opportunity for the Primary

Seeing the amount of work done
and the good accomplished by the
school Of Methods held two days
preceding the International Sunday
School Convention at Denver last
summer, the State Primary and
Junior Teachers Council of the
Iowa State Sunday School Associa-
ton has arranged for a similar
institute, preceding the great State
Sunday School Convention, to be
held in Des Moines, June 16 IS.
Mrs. j. w. Barnes of Newark, n.
j., who stands at the head of the
Primary work of America, will be
present as instructor. Her work on
Lesson Constructions &c h d
Study, ""Grading and Supplemental
Lessons will be very fine. Mrs.
Jean Hobart of Minneapolis,
recognized as one of the most sue
cessful Junior Workers, will present
every phase of the Junior Depart
ment of work. equipment"
Music" "How to tell Bible Stories, ;"
etc, will all be presented by leading
workers OF our own state. This is
splendid move for the S. S. work of
Iowa and the attendance should be
large. Five hundred and twenty
one attended the school held in
Illinois. Many states have held
such schools. This is Iowas first
year. Some schools will pay the
travelling expenses of their teachers.
There is an open rate of one and
one-third fare on all roads and the
committee expect one fare for the
round trip. There is no tuition.
The instruction is free, a gift of the
State Association. This will be the
best investment of money our
teachers can make. The sessions
will be held in the Plymouth
Congregational church, Des Moines
June 1918.

IN r1emoriam.

Martha Phinney Haunt len, daugh-
ter of Ichabod and Lydia Webb
(Fickett) Hamblen, was born in
Limington, Maine, December 25,
1918. Her youth was passed in her
native town and in Portland, Maine.
In 1889 she removed to Lowell,
Maine, with her parents, where on
June 25, 1913 she was married to
Jacob Andrews, native of that
town, who survives her to mourn
her death.
By this marriage there were four
children: Senator H. F. Andrews, of
Extra; DR.. Charles III. Andrews, late
of Extra, who died in 1896; Isaac S.
Andrews, of Cass county; and Mrs.
Sarah l.. Tlngle, who died in 1887.
The family resided in Maine I'M
til June, 1865, when they removed to
Iowa and settled near Extra They
resided here until February 1870;
then removed to Cass county resid-
ing near Atlantic, until November
1883; when they returned to Extra
and have since resided here. Mrs.
Andrews united with the Christian
Church of Lowell, Maine, June "a,
1860; in which she retained member
ship until her death. She was
kind wife and loving mother, and
through the long journey of almost
sixty years of married life she made
friends by the score who will long
reverence and revere her memory.
1t is seldom now days that the span
OF life is extended beyond the three
score and ten years, but hers was
extended fifteen years beyond this
time, years passed in doing good
for her family and those with whom
it was her lot to be cast. She has
been gradually failing for the past
year and a few weeks since it was
seen her days here on earth were
rapidly coming to close, until last
Sunday with her husband and child
rem by her side, her spirit passed
away to him who gave it. The fun
eral services were held from the
family residence, conducted by Rev.
DR.. Hill Of Atlantic, in the presence
of relatives and friends. the Misses
Clark and Campbell. and Messrs.
Copeland and w. Wissler discoursed
appropriate music. After the SER
vices the remains were borne to the
Extra cemetery and inferred in the
family burial lot where already re-
pose the remains of a son and
daughter.
The friends from abroad and pres
emf were Mrs. Kate Andrews Rid g
ley of Sidney, Iowa, Mrs. II. M. Boor-
man, Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Rasmussen,
her son Isaac Andrews and family
and Guy Jingle, all of Atlantic.
