Wakefield, Mass, June I2.-At noon

again, 200 who We're loyal to the COM

200 more who were waiting to be taken
in, and would have been re-engaged as
quickly as work could be provided for
them.
In explanation OF its action, blaming
the employees, the company issued this
statement.

 F It was only after sentence had been passed upon him that he could be brought to admit that he was really George H. Abbott. He finally confessed it and by doing so supplied the missing link which Nas needed to connect long chain of his crimes.
 The trial of Frank Amy was most sensational in every character So lit- tie was known of the man that it was with great difficulty that the state was able to identify him as George H. Ab- bolt The shooting of the little New Hampshire girl was so deliberate that It would have required but little time to convict him, although the trial was prolonged for many days and almost two years elapsed from the time Frank Amy Killed Christy Warden, on July IS. 1891. until he was executed on May 16. 1893.

LIKE M,LuKE SAYS

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
 There have been whole lot of def1ni- tions of the word gentleman" Well, here's another: A gentleman is man who minds his own business.
 Probably the most hopeless case is that of the man who goes through life waiting for a chance to get even with some other man.
 Some men are so filled with their own importance that if they happened to be struck by lightning they would think they did it.
 In the magazines the little man alway bluffs the big bully who wants to fight. But in real life the big man gets away with all the bluffs when fight talk is be- ing spilled.
 The trouble with the doctrines advo- cated by the dry people is that they in- sist upon holding your nose and making you take it whether you like it or not.
 Maybe the reason why George Washing ton never told lie was because he mar ried widow and he knew she was wise to all the excuses and he had to fess up and tell the truth when he came home late
 This is a queer world. The dereict who manages to live to be no years old gets more boosting than the brilliant man who works himself to death before he Is 50. All the fools do not drink whisky. And there are as many jags acquired by eating l too much as there are by drinking toe much.

Japan and Germany

The ultimatum of Japan delivered yesterday to Germany demanding her withdrawal from the Orient and the evacuation of Kiau-Chau adds further confusion to a situation which has no parallel in history.
 It is a development which the United States can view only with the gravest concern, involving as it does the integrity of China, and the con tinuance of that policy which the United States has guaranteed to main tain
 With a wholesome respect for this government, Japan has given Wash ington assurances which MT. Bryan states are satisfactory that all inter- ests of the United States will be safe guarded and that any territory which might be taken from Germany will be eventually" restored to China.
 There are a number of phases of this latest development which are in- teresting Germany is fighting now with her back to the wall. Defeat would mean annihilation commercially if not politically. And Japan's action will vastly increase her difficulties.
 That Japanese soldiers will tread battlefields in Europe is doubtful, al though judging by the past few weeks nothing seems impossible. If France brings over her black soldiers from Algiers, it is not too great tax upon the imagination to see the yellow race also join in the death grapple with the Teuton. But where Japan will most aid the allies is by permitting Great Britain to concentrate her fleet in home waters for whatever need arises.
 Another view of Japan's action is ol cOHceTH Io AineIiCdHo. III dh eiie announcements from Tokio there has been much talk of "our ally" and many "we's." Smarting from the rebuff in the United States, Japan has seized the opportunity both for territorial ag- grandizement and the assertion before Europe of the equality of the Mongo- lian with the Caucasian race. Another great power has been drawn into the maelstrom. Which will be next?

KILVANY

By John Hay.
 The song of Kilvany Fairest she In all the land of savatthe. She had one child, as sweet and gay. As dear to her as the light of day. She was so young and he so fair. The same bright eyes, and the same dark hair.
 To see them by the blossominE way. They seemed two children at their play. There came a death-dart from the sky, kilvany saw her darling die.
 The glimmering shades his eye invades. Out of his cheeks the red bloom fades; His warm heart feels the icy chill. The round limbs shudder and are still; And yet Kilvany held him fast Long after life's last pulse was past; As if her kisses could restore
 The smile gone out forevermore But when she saw her child was dead She scattered ashes on her head, And seized the small corpse. pale and | sweet,
 And rushing wildly through the street She sobbing fell at Buddha's feet. Master! all helpful, help me now; Here at thy feet I humbly bow; Have mercy. Buddha! help me nowr' l She groveled on the marble floor, | And kissed the dead child OCT and OCT l And suddenly upon the air, There fell the answer to her prayer; I"Bring me tonight Lotus tied lWith thread from house where nont
 have died."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-08-17

She rose and laughed with thankful joy,
 Sure that the god would save the boy.
 She found a Lotus by the stream She plucked 1t from its noonday gleam;
 And then from door to door she jared,
 To ask what house by death was spared.
 Her heart grew cold to see the eyes Of all di1ate in slow surprise; Kilvany, thou hast lost thy head; Nothing can help child that's dead" There stands not by the Ganges side house where none have ever died" Thus through the long and weary day. From every door she bore away Within her heart, and on her arm. heavier load, deeper harm. By gates of gold and ivory, By wattled huts of poverty, The same refrain heard poor Kilvany. The living are few. the dead are many"

- EXIT THE "CATTLE KING-

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 The cattle ranges of the west have made way for fenced farms and the supply of cattle has been cut down to the point at which America is now importing cattle from Argentina and Australia. where there is still plenty of range for cattle.
 The cattle king has passed from the scenes in the United States. but the inn portation of cattle has not served to re- duce the market for animals on the hoof to level at which cattle raising is not profitable to American farmers.
 Very high prices are paid nowadays for all meat animals. Farmers were never more in need of cattle as a fertilizing agent than they are at present. Land was never more in need of rest from grain crops. The profits of feeding cattle are not found wholly in the difference between the cost of the cattle plus the feed and their sale value. The manure value is large. and every scientific agriculturst is preaching soil building as the only op- o. | farms are growing smaller and land Is growing higher in price. It must be made to produce more per acre. There is Eu- ropean agricultural proverb which says:
 No pasture, no cattle; no cattle. no ma- nure; no manure, no crops For a long time American farmers did not realize the necessity for constantly renewing the fer tility of the soil. The results were de- creased profits. depleted soil and. in some instances. abandoned farms.
 The passing of the cattle ranges and the undminshed value of cattle offer the small farmer his opportunity. Cattle con stitute an important factor in profitable farming. Australian ranches cannot make cattle raising profitless in America and American farms cannot be properly oper- ated continuously without cattle.

Success of Good Road Days

Friday and Saturday were good road days in Alabama, and there is every reason to believe that far larger number of men contributed their services than was the case last year, when the turn out was by no means small. Reports from several counties have been received, and each of them indicates that the farmers and others who labored with pick and shovel not only improved the highways but aroused enthusiasm that will have far-reaching effect for good.
 It is safe to assume that the work done in the two days designated will be worth millions of dollars to the state as a whole, and be of incalculable benefit to every community. The ob- servance of good road days was very general. There was not county prob ably in which 1000 or more men were not doing their best to better road conditions.
 Within the last five years road building on scientific basis has been in progress in every state in the union. In the south fine headway has been made within the past two years. This is especially so in Alabama. Within the last 12 months many Alabama counties have issued good road bonds, and it isehoped and believed that be- fore the next spring every county will appreciate the economy of spending money on it's highways and see its way clear to issue bonds. As The Age Herald has frequently pointed out. county road bonds are in great

 Now it may occur to the casual reader that Mr.. Boyle has Transmitted these views to Mir. Underwood in q snirit of lev- i.s' as a. joke to speak. in order for
 ao ''oiies 10 create a laugh. Far be rum any person whomsoever who looks upon tnis outburst from the aforesaid Mr. Boyle in any but -the most serious light Is not acquainted with John Boyle. He Is firm in his conviction that the probib,- tionists who absolutely refuse to contrib- ute, through the drinking route to the support of the government, should he taxed arbitrarily.
 There are, however. some difficulties in the way of such a plan, however laudable. It would likely work an even greater in- justice in the way of unequal taxation than the present system of which Mir. Boyle complains. We know quite Il few prohibitionists who are outspoken for the cause whom we have every reason to be- lieve are paying with great regularity their full and generous proportion of the internal revenue tax. To put an arbitrary tax of B on these cheerful contributors. simply because they are prohibitionists would indeed be tough. High rank and great prominence in the counseIs and ac- tivities of the Anti-Saloon league is not always absolute and incontrovertihle evil dence of total abstinence
 MT. Boyle in his patriotic ambition 10 equalize taxation. we fear, has commit ted serious and an egregous error: pro- hibition and total abstinence are not in any sense synonymous terms. If the pro- hibitionists in this country were to sud dently quit drinking the government would get blow in it's exchequer that would make it's financial department wobbe like some of the European dynasties now tot tering on their thrones. Also the price of strong drinks would go down to a point where an earnest and faithful drunkard could drink himself into an early grave without such a financial strain on his wife and relatives.

Prof. Richard l.. Garner the famous an-
 thropologist, who was stranded in Rotter-
 dam as a result of the war in Europe,
 was on his way home to America after heart of the African jungle. Professor Garner lived in a hut with two native ser
 wants and chimpanzees and gorillas for companions. He went to Africa for the purpose of studying the monkey Ian guase3 and is bringing back two fine speciments of talking gorllas. For 20 years he has studied the habits of monkeys and probably knows more about these creatures than any other scientist in the world. Dr. Garner left this coun- try for Africa in the latter part of 1911
 He had made four previous trips to the
 jungle in search of scientific data He
 landed al Cape Lopez and made his way
 to the French Congo, where he thinks the
 best opportunities are offered for study ing simian habits While in the jungle pr bdInei Was e&poseu to great danger from wild animals and savage tribes, some of whom were cannibals. He made fre- quent trips alone, leaving his two ser wants to guard the hut, and traveled many
 miles through the jungle armed with two rifles and a revolver. The last time Dr.
 Garner returned from Africa he brought with him a gorilla he named Susie. This animal was given a great deal of publicity in the newspapers and attracted wide
 spread attention among scientists by her human-like tricks.

GREAT TRIALS OF HISTORY
TRIAL OF FRANK ALMY

|NN May is' iSss' the curtain was IN rung down on crime which had W startled the country from one end to the other for close to two years. It was the execution at Con- cord, New Hampshire, of Frank Amy who had murdered Christy Warden.
 Murders of a similar character occur almost every day in some part of the United States. but this was of such
 an exceptionally revolting nature that it's story reads more like fiction than fact.
 George H. Abbott, from a boy, was ne'eer do-well. He had served a 15- years sentence in prison and had come out, apparently resolved to lead a new life. In order to do this he had adopted
 the name of Frank Almy. He left his Massachusetts home and went to New
 Hampshire in 1887 where he engaged
 himself to a farmer named Warden. who lived near Hanover This farmer had two pretty daughters. Christy and Fanny. AL
 my at once began paying addresses to
 the pretty Chrsty. She did not appear to look favorably upon his advances. This enraged his naturally jealous dispo- stion. and his attentions were such that the farmer was compelled to discharge him.
 He returned to Massa achusetts and worked for a time in various places, bI1f ba hoo to
 Hanover again with revenge in his heart. One day, July IS. 1891. as Mrs. Warden and her daughters were re- turning to their home after dark as they were passing along a wooded strip, they were surprised to see Amy emerge. He accosted them and directed that the mother and sister should proceed in order that he could have a few words alone With Christy. The mother and daughter refused to. go after which a struggle ensued and Christy was shot.
 Amy disappeared as mysterIously as he came. The state and county officials searched everywhere in vain. He was re- ported in Montreal, in England, in Indi- ana and elsewhere. On August IT, ex- actly one month after Christy Warden had gone to her death, Mrs Warden chanced to notice the removal of large stone undermining the barn.
 This aroused her curiosity. for she believed that maybe Amy was hiding there. Detectives were put on watch and
 that same night about o'clock they mo-
 ticed man emerge, secure a lot of ap-
 pies and return to the barn. They gave
 the alarm in the village and before dawn
 cordon of men surrounded the building. | When Amy discovered that he was
 trapped a number of shots were ex-
 changed, and for 10 hours one desperate
 man was able to keep 2000 avengers at
 pay. But chance shot finally put all
 his hopes for escape at an end It had
 struck him in the knee and broken his
 leg Realizing that escape was hopeless,
 he called for County Solicitor Mitchell
