FIRST NEWS OF OUTRAGE COMES
WHEN CONSUL TO BREMEN RE.
PORTS THAT THEY HAVE BEEN
RELEASED
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 21.-The
United States consul at Bremen COM
municating with the state department,
today reported the release of mem.
bers of the crews of the American
steamships Greenbrier and Carolin,
after having been arrested by German
authorities. Notification of their re-
lease from custody was the first inti-
nation received in Washington that
these ships had been detained OF their
crews placed under surveillance.
The Greenbrier recently steamed
from Galveston, carrying a cargo of
cotton for Bremen and was held up
in the English channel by British war
ships, being released upon protest of
this government. The vessel was only
recently admitted to American regis
try, and formerly few the Union Jack
OF England. The Greenbrier's cargo
was loaded under the supervision of
English and French consular officers,
and the vessel carried a. certificate
from these officials guaranteeing safe
conduct to it's destination. The Caro-
lin was provided with a similar certi-
ficate.
Considerable indignation was ex-
pressed over the arrest of the Ameri-
can seaman by German authorities,
and at the state department it was
stated a rigid inquiry into the Incl
dent will be made.

MEXICAN SOLDIERS
(By Associated Press.)

NACO, Ariz. Jan. 21.-More than two
hundred bodies still lying on the bat
tlefeld around Naco, Sonora, oppo-
site this place, are to be buried by
citizens here. The bodies, many of
which are in advanced stages Of de-
composition have attracted scores of
carrion birds to the vicinity and their
interment is considered imperative as
a health measure.
Negotiations are now pending to
permit United States citizens to bury
these bodies, and as both Mexican fac
ton have indicated a willingness to
establish an armistics for the pur-
pose, active work of burying the
corpses will probably begin this af-
ternoon.

HOW LONG WILL PEACE LAST
AFTER WAR IS OVER? THIS
IS THE IMPORTANT QUESTION

that after the end of this war there
will be peace for many years. But this
is to uncertain foundation on which
to build-for permanence and security.
"Nor should we depend on the moth
er country for our defense, now that
our strength enables us to act in our
own behalf. The national develop
ment of Australia and New Zealand
will be stimulated if they rely on their
own resources by maintaining a naval
force which is a direct part of the
British Navy, but under local execu-
tive control.

PERRY BECOMES LEADER
OF UNION GOSPEL MISSION

A. NJ. Perry, acting superintendent OF
the Union Gospel mission for several
months. has been appointed regular super
intendent by the board of trustees and
will hereafter give his entire time to the
work of the mission at 1914 Davenport
street.
According to reports to the trustees, the
organization is achieving splendid results
in its gospel work, over fifty men having
renowned old habits of drunkenness and
the use of drugs since December / and are
now reformed and earning respectable
livelihoods.
Superintendent Perry and his assistants
are strongly inclined to place their faith
in old-fashioned gospel methods and do
not give away soup and sandwiches as a
part OF their work, as they maintain their
efforts should be toward helping men TO
help themselves. instead of becoming a
permanent burden on society.
