HIS RESIGNATION WHEN TROOPS WERE
SENT TO ULSTER.

Within six weeks of the opening OF the present
war Sir John French resigned his command dur
nc the controversy over the use Of the troops in
Ulster. Mr.. Asquitn in Parliament voiced the
feeling Of profound regret that the splendid
G. so distinguished soldier should have come to
a premature close. The Prime Minister added
however. that he still regarded the special abil
tiles o. Sir John French future asset of the
nation in case OF war In the light of what has
followed his remarks seem TO have been pro-
lhetic.
Sir Jonn visited the United States in 1912 and
made an inspection OF West Point and also Of tle

Between Field Marshal French and General

iroper appreciation OF Sir Johns character and
abilities to win and keep his complete co.opera-

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, April 7-Speculation was
again slow today and market values were
little changed. Even the brilliant prom
Use held out for the winter wheat crop
in the government report failed to arouse
the market from its lethargy. Appear
ance of the report was the signal for a
demonstration on the part of bullish
traders, and for few minutes specula-
ton was lively, but the professional OPP
orators failed to attract following and
after few minutes the market settled
back into its dun routine. The apathetic
reception of the crop report was in keep
ing with the session as whole, al
though a few stocks moved in response
to influences particularly affecting them.
The tone was good and most of the
standard stocks again made fractional
by the grangers, whose strength reflect
ed the expectation of a large wheat crop.
The crop report also benefited Interna-
tional Harvester, which was one of the
strongest of the industrials. Tobacco
shares advanced with a buoyant squirt of
"a points in Lorillard This stock jump
ed five points or more at time, no rea
son being assigned other than the stock
was scarce. On the curb stocks in the
Standard Oil group were unusually weak.
Renewed liquidation among low priced
railroad shares, particularly those involv-
ed in reorganization proceedings, held
back the general market. Both Wabash
issues and st. Louis & San Francisco
common and I'd preferred made new low
records.
The bond market was irregular. St
advanced sharply despite the weakness
of the stocks. Total sales of bonds, par
value, 81 $4,000. United States rs regis
tered declined 4 on call.

Insurance. for Mountain Climbers.

Owing to the large number OF acci-
dents occurring every year to noun
tain climbers and tourists in the Alps
several Swiss insurance companies
have established an accident policy for
the benefit of persons undertaking
these mountain excursions. For a pre-
MUM of IL cents q season certain AL

Vienna offers Alpine insurance" at q

of benefit in case of accident which
causes invalidity or death. The amount

WHY WOMEN ALWAYS WIN.
Scientific Reason for One Sided Talk.
ing Contests.

A woman can talk longer than q
man and does so because she uses up
less force by a large percentage than
the man does. A German professor has
proved by actual and very delicatA
measurements that the baritone sing
err uses far more energy than the ten
or and that the bass singer uses more
force than either. The range OF voices
differs greatly. so the percentage va
ries to the same extent, but as gen.
eral result it was proved that the tea
or uses only from one-seventh to one
sixteenth of the lung power Of the
baritone or bass. The difference be-
tween the force used by the contralte
and the soprano Is quite as marked.
and the contralto who sings In very
deep tones uses at least 10 times III
force of the thrilling soprano.
The explanation In so simple, that %
is surprising that the investigations
was not made long ago. 1t has long
been known that the tenor Or soprano
brings the vocal cords close together,
and keeps the edges only vibrating by
the emission OF air. Thekbass or con-
traIto leaves the space between the
cords wider open. and has to vibrate
very much more OF the membranee.
go a considerably larger amount OF air
is required and much more force u
expended. flsB1l
You may have frequently noticed
that those persons with high. squealy
voices seem to be very loquacious--
they never stop talking: and the .rea-
son Is now plain--they can talk with
far less effort than those who take q
deeper tone and have to use more air
to utter their words.
Here lies the real explanation Of the
ease with which woman can outtalk
a man. She has the advantage OF US
ing from one-seventh to one-sixteentn
less lung power, and even though her
lungs may be smaller In volume, the
difference Is never SO great az thae
between the amount of air required

Sporting Gossip OF the Day
SPORTING NOTES.

Whether or not Howard Drew, the
sterling sprinter, will be officially cred
tied with that 20 3-5s' century remains
to be seen. There is not much doubt
that Drew accomplished the perform
ance, however, as he has shown form
since his return from the Olympic
games which has made him the peer
of our best sprinters, many of them
even time men. Drew recently wrote
the writer saying that since entering
the University of Southern California
he had really started to train in earn
est, something he had never done be-
fore except when he competed at
Stockholm in 1912. If Drew could con-
sistently do los. fiat and frequently
accomplish 8 Ass for the century
without special training it 81 hard to
estimate his present capabilities after
a training course.

of money and not run much risk of

he has accepted the offer of a guaran-

accepting 40 per cent. of the gross re-

$500 REWARD FOR ANY,
ONE FOUND TAMPERING
WITH B. & A. LOCOMOTIVES

Bangor Me-. April THE Bangor &
Aroostook Railroad has posted notices
in the roundhouses offering a reward
of $500 for the arrest and conviction
of any person found tampering with
the locomotives of the company.
This takes the place of $1,000 offered
some time ago, which. it is understood,
will he disbursed in connection with
the arrest of three Italians. Two were
discharged youndhouse employees at
Northern Maine Junction and, ac-
cording to testimony, were seen to
place bolts on the guide bars which
would have damaged the locomotives
if not discovered. They are IN Jail
waiting trial.
A third italian, Joseph Vito, was
held for the grand jury yesterday and
sent to Jail in default of bail. Accord
ing to evidence introduced, Vito filled
the journal of locomotive with
grease, which was found upon analy-
sis, to contain particles Of glass and
steel or iron. Vito denied the charge
and claimed that grease used on other
locomotives from the same stock gave
no trouble.
During the past winter about 80 To-
comotives have been damaged, mostly
by sand or some such substance in
the journals which has caused heating
and delays.
