GERMAN EMBASSY
 SILENT REGARDING WERNER HORN CASE
State Department Officials Say Next Step in Case Must Be Taken When
 the Prisoner Appears Before
 Commissioner

Washington. February 4.-State depart mont officials said tonight the next step in the case of Werner Horn, who at tempted to destroy an international bridge at Naneeboro, Me-, must be taken by Canadian authorities when the prisoner comes before United States commission CT in Maine. Until the hearing is com pieted and all the evidence gathered there. no action will be taken on the ap- plication for extradition made by The British ambaSsador for the Canadian gov ernment. The points raised by Horn that he was not on Canadian soil, and that his offense was an act Of war are ex- pected to be fully developed at the hearirg before the commissioner Officials he,e do rot expect the case to come befoie the state department for at least nlonth
 Officials said attempted destruction oi railroad bridges was one of the offenses for which persons are extraditable under treaties between the United States and Canada so that if the Canadian authori- ties prove that Horn attempted to de- stroy the bridge while on Canadian soil the commissioner probably would recom- mend extradition. It would have to be approved, however by the state depart ment, where the case finally will be de- cided.
 The German embassy did not announce today whether or not it would intercede on behalf of Horn.

Grey Tells House of Commons Plan Has Been Submitted for Regular Inspection of German De-
 tention Camps

London. February 4.-(e:42 D. m)-For- eign Secretary Grey today told the House of Commons the American government had submitted to a scheme whereby American officials would keep in perma- nent touch with commandants of pris- oners' camps in Germany and Great Brit ain with view to improving the condi- tion of the prisoners. Sir Edward prom ised to make further statement.
 The foreign secretary's announcement was in reply to question of Lord Charles Beresford. who asked whether a mem- Der of the American embassy in Berlin had been nominated by Germany to in- spect the camps in England. and whether Great Britain would nominate a member of the American embassy staff in London to inspect and report on conditions in the German camps.
 Sir Edward said that although some camps in Germany already had been wis tied by an American official more satis- factory results could be obtained by the scheme proposed by the American gov ernnent.

Ruth 1-February z

Ruth 1-February 2.
 Thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. Ruth lis.
 The story of the book of Ruth gives us little glimpse into the affairs of the Israelites, showing us that there was a deep spirit of religion underlying the surface of wars, captivities, etc. The opening was at Bethlehem, the "city of David" where centuries later Jesus was born, ''Davids Son and David's Lord.'' The religious sentiment of the family is shown by their names. Elimelech, the husbands name signifies, My God is King His wife's name, Naomi, is said to mean. "The pleasure of Jehovah" They had two young sons, Mahlon (sickly one) and Chiffon pining one).
 They became discouraged because of the invasions of their enemies and the fre- quent loss of the fruits of their labor; and finally, because of a severe drouth, they left their home, crossed Jordan into the land of Moab. and dwet there for 10 years There the two boys married. Both died leaving widows and Elimeiech died. Evidently the leaving of the land VI NAAN ~ONShaHt eo hNS diloiSSl d peOple who were idolaters, not in covenant rela- tionshp with God, had not resulted greatly to the benefit of the family; for when Naomi concluded to return to her native land. she had practically nothing. It Is never good policy to sacrifice our religious interests for our temporal in- terests With all Christians the motto should be. God first It will not do to say that perhaps they moved to Moab to | do little missionary work; for although the Moabites were the descendants of Lot and therefore related to the Israelites nevertheless Gods covenant was merely with Israel. The Moabites were aliens l strangers, like all other Gentiles. Nol would it have been proper for them tc attempt to convert the Moabites for Goo had called merely the Israelites-as ws l read, You only have I known (recog | nized) of all the families of the earth.'- Amos 3:2.
 1t was unwise to take two boys into z l heathen land, where they were likely tt | be contaminated; instead, every reasona ble influence should have been throwr l about them to preserve their loyalty tt

IbRUNSW|G TRIES TOCOMM|T SUICIDE
Vaudeville Singer Said to Have Been Despondent
 Over Domestic Affairs

Desponden. over his domestic difficult
 ties, Earl Ludwig Brunswig of New York
 city attempted suicide at the Florence
 hotel about s:30 o'clock last night by shooting himself in the left breast with
 .32-calibre Smith & Wesson pistol. He
 was about 31 years old and registered at
 the Florence about week ago.
 At Robinson's infirmary it was stated at late hour that Brunswig was in a very precarious condition and his life was despaired of. He was removed to the in- firmary in Johns ambulance.
 A shattered romance is said to have been the cause of the attempted suicide.
 Brunswig, vaudeville singer, met Miss Margaret Hogan, who resides at 613 St. Charles avenue. West End, last October in Mobile, where Miss Hogan was em- ployed as a cabaret singer. Three weeks after the meeting they were married. Mrs. Brunswig finally came to her home in Birmingham, while Brunswig went to
 New Orleans.
 About a week ago Brunswig returned to Birmingham, accompanied by his mother. He had several meetings with his wife, but was unable to effect a reconciliation. Last night, it is stated. the young wife, accompanied by her mother and a friend visited Brunswig and his mother at their rooms in the Florence. In the midst of general con- versation Brunswig left and entered his
 own room. where he immediately fired a bullet in the region of his heart. Hearing the shot his wife, mother and mother-in-law at once entered and saw the young man stretched out on bed gasping. Someone sent a bell boy after a dactor and the negro, alarmed at the shooting, summoned policeman. The officer after investigation had Brunswig
 removed to Robinsons infirmary in Johns
 ambulance
