his two previous challenges, Sir
Thomas wanted to make It obligatory
for the New York Yacht club to meet

out that the deed OF gift does not

Ulster Organizes
Democratic Army
BY Ed 1. Keen

Uondon Correspondent United Press
London, Dec. 9-The most demo-
cratic army in the world! 1t may be
a slight exaggeration, but there ap-
pears to be at least tangible basis for
this proud boast made by the home
rule resisters of the north of Ireland
on behalf of the Ulster volunteer
force.
Information reaching the United
Press from various sections of the
disaffected province indicates that
class distinctions, which hitherto
have been all but obliterated in the
have always been exceptionally mark
ed in Ireland, have been all but OBJ
liberated in the organization and mil
itary instruction of the $4,000 men
who are pledged to fight to the death
against the enforcement of the pro-
posed Dublin parliament.
Merchants and manufacturers,
farmers and day laborers, lawyers
and doctors, preachers and parishion-
ers are to be found serving side by
side in the ranks. In many instances
employees have been set over employ
ers in command of companies, tenants
drill their landlords and sections issue
orders to their Wears. Among the
300 officers and section leaders of the
County Tyrone division who attended
the first camp of instruction held by
the Baronscourt estate of the Duke of
Abercorn there were 155 farmers, 81
day laborers, 10 manufacturers, seven
clergymen flour of the Church of Ire
land and three Presbyterian), five
merchants, five clerks, five carpen-
ters, four engineers, three tailors and
three chauffeurs, while the rest rep
resented a score of other professions
and occupations.
The Tyrone volunteers are typical
of the rest of Ulster, both in person
mel and system of organization, al
though the number of recruits is not
so large as in some of the other coun-
ties, Tyrone's population being about
equally divided between Unionists and
Nationalists. The total enrolment in
Tyrone is 5000, organized into five
battalions and distributed among S8
drill centers. Each center elects its
own section leader by ballot, and the
section leaders choose the section Of
ficers, who in turn elect the battalion
commanders. During their visit with
the Duke of Abercorn, who is colonel

PARCEL POST INCREASE
APPROVED BY COMMISSION

Washington, Dec. 8-Postmaster
General Burleson's policy to increase
the weight limits of parcel post pack
ages in the first and second zones
from twenty to fifty pounds, to admit
books to the parcel post and to reduce
rates in the third, fourth and fifth
zones, was approved today by the in
terstate commerce commission
The maximum weight of parcels to
all zones beyond the second was in
creased from eleven to twenty pounds.
The commissions consent" to the
proposed changes was transmitted
in three letters from Chairman Clark
to Postmaster General Burleson. The
approved changes in rates and
weights to be in effect January /,
1914, follow:
To reduce the rate for the third
zone from seven cents for the efirst
pound to five cents for each addi-
tional pound to six cents for the
first pound and two cents for each
additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fourth
zone from eight cents for the first
pound and six cents for each addi-
tional pound to seven cents for the
first pound and four cents for each
additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the fifth
zone from nine cents for the first
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-09

"The postmaster general issued an
order, effective August 10 last, in
creasing the weight limit in the first
and second zones from eleven to
twenty pounds, and materially reduc-
ing the rates of the postage for those
zones, and stated at that time that
this step was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent" said the statement issued
tonight by the postoffice department.
After these changes had been in eff
fact for some time a record was kept
of packages handled in a number of
large representative postoffices
throughout the United States, and the
reports received from the offices
show that the changes in the service
had been greatly appreciated by the
public. The number of parcels ham
died in the first 'and secona zones
since these changes became effective
show an increase Of approximately
sixteen per cent. The weight has also
increased from 1.6 to II pounds per
parcel, and notwithstanding the great
reduction in rates in the first and sec
ond zones, the average package has
increased from IT cents a parcel to
10 cents.
The statement says regarding the
change relating to books:
"It has been strongly urged by cir
culating libraries, schools, colleges
and publishers ever since the estab-
lishment of the parcel post service, as
the present restrictive weights limit
Imperial Valley press., 1913-12-09

pound and seven cents for each addi-
tional pound to eight cents for the
first pound and six cents for each
additional pound.
To reduce the rates for the sixcn
zone from ten cents for the first
pound and nine cents for each ad-
ditional pound to nine cents for the
first pound and eight cents for each
additional pound.
1t is provided by the postmaster
general, with the consent of the COM
mission, chat the rate of postage on
parcels containing books weighing
eight ounces or less shall be one
cent for each two ounces or fractional
part thereof and on those weighing
in excess Of eight ounces, the zone
parcel rates shall apply"
This is to be effective March 1G,
1914.
Serious objections to the proposed
change in the rate on books and
catalogues were made chiefly by
mailers Of heavy catalogues, but the
commission says it feels that the
changes are in the interest of the pub
lie generally.
Consent also was given by the COM
mission to the admission of shipments
of gold, bold bullion and gold dust in
Alaska and to and from Alaska in
packages weighing not more than
eleven pounds. The rate of postage
fixed is two cents an ounce or frac-
ton thereof for all distances.

Brand Babies for Husbands

London, Dec. 8-W. N. Beaver, resi-
dent magistrate in the western divis-
ion of New Guinea, has been giving
here some interesting particulars of
recent explorations in Papua. Mr..
Beaver has been nine years in New
Guinea.
Mr.. Beaver says a great deal of
sorcery prevails in the western divis-
ion. In the wilder parts of the coun-
try the chief is himself head sorcer-
er. He claims to be able to separate
his spirit from his body and to send
it on various missions, including that
of killing people.
Recently a number of sorcerers
went by night to the house of ma
tive, ON whom they cast a spell by
pointing at him human bone. They
afterward murdered their victim and
after his burial dug up the corpse,
eating portions Of the body for the
purpose of sorcery.
Mr.. Beaver also recently explored
large tract Of country in Dutch New
Guinea, where the majority of the
people had never. before been visited
In one district near Daru it is the
custom to brand, by means of a mark
on the shoulder or breast, girl chill
dren with the mark of the man they
are subsequently to marry.
Cannibalism still exists and Mr..
Beaver narrates that on several oc-
casions he has come upon the scene
of a cannibel feast with remains of
human flesh lying around. In every
case the actual murderers have es-
capped on the approach of the con-
stabulary. 1t is the custom to cut off
the head, arms and legs of the bodies
of the victims, the most priced morcel
for the purposes of cannibalism be-
ing the legs.
One of the most curious movements
that has recently been brought to
light prevails among the northeastern
coast.
1t is known as the Bargona move
ment and, although only eighteen
months old, has spread with great
rapidity. By its operations, which al
most approach sorcery, and are
therefore, carefully watched by the
government, great respect is paid to
snakes, none of which is allowed to
be killed.
In some of the western districts the
houses contain great collections of
skulls which belonged to enemies
killed in battle, to which artificial
wooden noses are attached, which
makes them very grotesque, while
those belonging to relatives remain
untouched.

of the regiment, the Tyrone officers
and section leaders received general
drill and rifle instruction from COM
missioned and noncommissioned Off
GERS of the regular British army, both
active and retired, under the direction
of Lieut.-Gen. Sir George Richardson,
commander in chief of the Ulster vol
unteer force, and who is still on the
active list of his majesty's army.
The drilling and target work was
done quite openly. The duke, how
ever, had taken the precaution to get
from a couple of the local justices of
the peace formal permit for the use
of his rifle range for this purpose,
so that the encampment could not be
prescribed as an illegal assemblage.
The justices, needless to say, are anti
home rulers.
The dukes guests have now dis
persed to their homes, prepared to
whip the recruits into shape during
the winter months. Similar camps of
instruction are to be conducted
throughout all of the Ulster PROV
inces.
Meantime, while training their
army, the Ulster leaders continue to
work secretly importing and distrib-
uting arms and ammunition. They
claim now to have sufficient numbers
of modern rifles to supply nearly all
of the force thus far recruited, and
expect to have 100000 soon.
Only last week 5000 rifles were re-
ceived in Belfast in the guise of hard
ware and were taken to secret des-
tinations within an hour of their ar
rival.
English folk are beginning TO Won
der whether their king and queen are
getting hard up, and if so why.
News comes from Eton, where
young Prince Henry is attending
school, that his weekly allowance of
spending money was recently cut
from $3.50 to $1.25. One explanation
is that instead of indicating increas-
ing parsimony on the part Of his
royal parents, this step was taken as
a measure of discipline.
The story is that Henry had been
detected selling his father and moth
ers' letters to autograph hunters
among his fellow students. No such
reasonable excuse, however, has yet
been advanced for the queens action
in having nine Of her old evening
gowns cut down for Princess Mary
and the intimation conveyed on be-
half of her majesty that she would
expect the dressmaker in presenting
her bill to take into consideration the
wholesale character of the order.
