Is true, for no man was more cnthu-
siastic. and gave more freely OF his
time and means 10 perfect necessary
arrangements TO supply suitable

the association are largely the result
Of his work.
His service was indeed a pleasure,
and yet he regarded his efforts more
Grafton, in encouraging this clean and
manly sport, than for any other cause.
In this labor OF love he sought TO pro-
vide the best means for this splendid
exercise. He vas firm in his convic-
ton that the battles fought on the dia-
mond promoted good health and
was also an incentive to the young
to be energetic courageous and homo
able in the affairs OF life. His pur-
pose and aim was To prepare the way

play the game as IT was possible TO do,
and. WITH the idee that those who
spent their spare time upon the
athletic field would hardly have a de
sire 70 enter into some other pastime
which might be harmful 10 them. He
regarded the national, game as the
,, clcanest and best sport; and his devo-
ton TO baseball naturally made him q
friend OF al who played. His cheerful
inanner pleasant smile and attrac-
tive bearing drew Young mon to him.
and he held them by his warmth OF
affection. He laborcd we'll, for by his

morning. The incident in the Casino, where
a patriotic play was being given, appears
from all accounts to have been of the slight
est character. The strangers, who would
have acted wisely IN keeping away from q
play of that kind, excited attention by talk
ing German. Some persons seated near
them made some unfriendly Observations
about them, and the interest of the gallery
was excited, with the result that there was
some whistling from that quarter. After
the theatre the oreigners were recognized
in a cafe to which they had adjourned before
the departure of their train for Metz at 2.30,
and some students who were in the Gale made
remarks about them aud, it is said, wrote
something III German on o piece Of paper and
passed it to their table. The Germans APP
pear to have resented this interference, but
the landlord was able to quiet both parties
and it was only afterwards, i'll the streets and
at the railway station, that the really re-
grettable Rodents took place. Several score
of people followed the Germans to the sta
ton, a handful of them singing q patriotic
chorus about Alsace-L Lorraine.
1t appears that in the waiting-room some
youths who were taking part in the demon
s~tration knocked off a Germans hat and en-
deavoured to start a political argument by
representing that if French visitors had be-
haved at Metz as these Germans had be-
haved at Nancy they would have been az
rested. The assistant station master con
Quoted one of the Germans to a railway
carriage, the corridor of which was after
wards invaded by some of the crowd. The
railway official put them out and likewise
expelled outh of Is or 20 years of age
who had invaded the Germans compartment
and had raised his arm in a menacing atti-
tude. The tsain hen left without further
incident.
The responsible French Press discusses
the affair in the calmest tone.-I6id.

AMERICANS DISAPPEARANCE IN
LONDON.


DrsooyERy Or HIS HAT AND PocEEq-BooK.
The disappearance III london of Mr..
Joseph Wilberforce Martin, OF Memphis,
Tennessee, Is causing much anxiety to his
friends. Mr.. Martin has been missing (as
we announced in our Saturday morning edi-
zion last week. since the evening of Thurs
day, April 3. He then left the Automobile
Club, where he had been dining with two
friends, and his failure to keep a Inner APP
pointmont next evening WAS the first indi
cation of his disappearance. Mr.. Martins
description has been circulated by Scotland
Yard, and rewards are offered for informa-
&ion concerning him. Yesterday was the 14th
day since Mr.. Martin was missed, and up
till a late hour on Wednesday night all
efforts to trace him had proved unsuccess-
full. The view is still entertained by the
police that he is alive, and this opinion is
shared by Mr.. W. J. Burns. the American
detective, who is engaged in independent
inquiries on behalf Of the family.
Mr.. Martins pocket-book, torn and emp
tied of everything of value, and his opera
hat, have been found in Belvedere-road,
near the entrance to Hu0eerford Bridge,
which crosses the Thames beside Charing
Cross railway-bridge and is used only by
foot, passengers. No signs of q struggle
were visible. A gold chain which Mr..
Martin wore was found inside the lat. Scores
of taxi-cab clues have been investigated and
Mr.. Martins movements for the few days
before his disappearance have been traced,
but without result. The river police are keep
ing q vigilant lookout, but it is pointed out
that had the missing man been thrown into
the river his body probably would have been

EXPLOSIVES IN AGRICULTURE.

Since the beginning Of the current year
an unusually large number of agricultural
Journals have called attention to the impor-
tance of explosives in the cultivation of hand.
An interesting and extremely well-ilInstrn-
ted article in the Igrjcu1turu5 Gazette Of
Neao South y aleS january 1919 empha-
sizes the value of dynamite III the clearing
Of bush land. An account is given of the
different kinds of explosives and the ms
thods Of firing, the latter being either by
means Of the safety fuse or by electricity.
1t is indicated that the advantages accruing
from the telling of trees by dynamite lie,
not only in the fact that the stump is re.
moved, but also in the fact that the
small limbs are broken off by the conclusion
and fall. The Gubo NagqzUse for March
1913 calls attention to the value of explo-
slveS in the breaking up of hardDaU ia citrus
civilizations in Florida, where four-ounce
charges Of 30 pei cent. dynamite have been
exploded under trees in bearing with emf
nentIy satisfactory results. FROM the pure
ly physiological aspect of soil ~aeration, the
Planters Chronicle February 8, 1879
strongly advises a careful employment of this
form Of subsoil cultivation; and lastly refer
ence mus be made to the advocacy of Ir0-
pjc0L Life, and to that of the Indie Rubber
Void (April l, 1879 which devotes an edi-
torial to the subject, indicating the value Of
dynamite for preparing holes for the actual
planting of rubber trees, an it's utility as g
destroyer of animal and vegetable parasites.
In the West Iudies. perhaps the greatest
use Of dynamite would lie in the removal of
large boulders Of volcanic rocks which ut
present on many estates 50 seriously inter-
fere with the thorough cultivation Of the
soil.-Agricultural Nea0s, Apri1 26h.

futility of most of the training of private
schools for girls. This reflects, of course,
the incompetence OF indifference of parents
generally. | also believe that the high
prices now prevailing are largely due to the
neglect OF the great body Of women to study
or practice ecOnt a., or to teach it to their
daughters. Neither In school nor IN college
do L find that any considerable number Of
young girls are taught, or required to keep
any kind Of accounts. No dressmaker or
mllliner, of the slightest pretenslons to
elegance, seems to have encountered the
notion Of economy IL respect to price,
durability, or in any other particular, in her
whole experience. Any woman fairly well
off, who regards The subject of dress from
this point of view, feels that she IS very
much the exception.
| have been always disposed, however, to
excuse much of this feminine Incompetence
and folly, and the obsessiOn with dress, which
seems to become every day more marked
among American women of oil conditions,
on the ground that the foolishness of men
has always been largely responsible for that
of women, and that if women were given
better things to think of they would surely

lower angle of heel. Il say 'rise" for both

lnferioIity-such that, in matters of govern

with criminals.
But now that I see our own k~inswOmen

notwithstanding seeds Of lawlessness which
we may see in our own day, | greatly fear,

spoiled children, the raving and gibbering of
insane and idiots-and the unbridIed license
of the most abandoned criminals. AN these
classes think solely Of what they want, and
Eelf-COn3titute themselves arbitels Of what
they should have. What it may cost other
human beings, innocent though they be, for
them to grasp at the objects of their desire

not touch their minds; and 50 it would seem

In the Antigua SIN q report from the
Government L ,boratory Cor the Leeward Is
lands intimNtes that a year of marked dry
ness in that island is recorded for 1912. The
average rainfall has been the lowest since
1875, with the exception of 1905. The low
precipitation experienced from the begin
ming of the year until September, combined
to render the outlook exceedingly unfavour-
able, though fairly we'll distributed rain
during the latter part of the year served to.
supply the needs of the population for water,
and also to improve the crops considerably.
The average rainfall for thirty-nine years,
1874 to 1912, was 4447 inches, SO that the.
precipitation for 1912 is 1924 inches below
the average.-I6id
THE long period average in Antigua seems
to be a little below the Santa Cruz average,
which is about AZ inches. Ed. Avis.

FRANCO.GERMAN INCIDENT AT
NANCY.
Berlin. April Is.

Berlin, April 10.
The brawl in which two German subjects
seem to have had unpleasant experiences ut
Nancy on Sunday night IS acquiring very
unfortunate importance, SO far, ut any rate,
us German opinion Is concerned.
AS ilI-luck will have it 'incidents" never
come sinsly, and in addition to the Nancy
brawI we have to night the expulsion of the
French Socialist NJ. Comp6re Morel from
Brunswick, n report that Il French Engineer
officer has been arrested at Speyer, Rnd an
allegation in the Cologne Gazette that n
French nlrman named Favre, who at the
beginning Of March lost his way and flew
over Metz, but on landing, on account Of
lack Of fuel, was rendered all assistance by
the German military authorities, and allowed
to proceed to Swit zerland, stated at Basel
that his ueroplnne had been shot at and that
he was thus compelled to land. None OF
these things can be expected to cause grave
trouble, but it seems thst % great det of
heat is being generated on both sides of
the frontier. German opinion is not OK
cited, but l think it is becoming nervous
and excitabIe, and capable both of stimuIat-
ing an excess of zeal in official quarters and
Of beng subjected uuawares to Chnuvlnistic
influences in Germany.
The German Representations
When the debate on the second reading
of the Estimates for the Foreign Office was
resumed in the Reichstng to-day, the For
oign Secretary, Herr Won Jagow, rose at
once and said =
"AIready yesterday mention was made
here of the incident Mt Nancy. So far this
incident is known only from the kilograms
of the Wolff Bureau and from Press reports.
If the news were fully confirmed I should
certainly describe it rs i'll the highest de-
gree regrettable. General cheers.) 1t

Government for an explanation (cheers)-
and if the news proves to be accurate to

1t would be useless to describe at length
the Press comments OH events the true facts
of which are admittedly not known, and it
need only be said that serious efforts to calm
public opinion are few and far between. The
German Chauvinist Press is, of course, max

TIE AFFAIRS Or Mr.. MARTINS FIRM.

TIE AFFAIRS Or Mr.. MARTINS FIRM.
a Reuter- telegram from Memphis (Ten-
nessee) dated April IA states that a volun-
tary petition in bankruptcy was filed on
that day by the company Of Mtssrs. Martin,
Phillips and Co., cotton merchants. Accord
ing to the petition, the assets amount to
S430, 140, and he liabilities to $4O3, 1853, and
this action has been taken to protect the
1irm in the absence of Mr.. Martin, who is
president of the company. Mr.. Phillips,
vice-president Of the company, the petition
er, declares that the firm is solvent.
The business vhich Mr.. Martin had com
pleted in this country was the issue of

been formed for the purpose OF purchasing

On the other hand t would appear that such ac- tion would entail the very opposite effect. The regulation of the prices of commodities does not tend either directly or indirectly to prevent re- straint of trade.
