CANARY ISLANDS
HARD HIT BY WAR
Exports Have Fallen Off at an
Alarming Rate.

New York.-That the European war
has proved a severe blow industrially
to the Canary islands was the state
ment made by Homer Brett, United
States consul at Tenerife. Mr. Brett,
who has been transferred to La Guaira,
Venezuela, was a visitor at the branch
Office Of the bureau of foreign and do
nestle commerce in the custom house.
"The war;" said the consul, "has
forced a great interest in the Canaries
in everything American. Previous to
the outbreak Of hostilities the island
ers bought practically all of their -four
from England, most of the commodity
being shipped from Liverpool. Now
they have turned to the United States
for this breadstuff, and increasing
quantities are being received there.
At present only American automo-
biles are being imported, and the ma
tives speak highly Of the makes al
ready introduced.
Cup to the beginning Of the war the
Canary islands had an annual export
c1euC VI a,OOO,OOO claus VI UCududo,
100000 boxes of tomatoes, 100000
boxes of potatoes and 100000 crates of
onions. A large part of this trade
went to southwestern Europe, but the
war has placed a blight on all this
business. Before the war the islanders
depended upon the Scandinavian coun-
tries for all of the crate material used
in packing the fruit and vegetable
products. This wood is no longer
available to any extent, and inquiries
are now being made in the United
States for shocks. The packers must
have this material and are looking to
this country to come to their aid.
another serious handicap in the is
lands is the shortage Of fertilizers. Up
to the start of the war the bulk of fer
tilizer was imported from Antwerp,
and a lesser quantity from London.
This was principally Chilean nitrate.
This trade has. of course, been greatly
upset, and when l left Tenerife they
were negotiating with American firms
for needed supplies. There is also a
serious shortage in coal and cement.
The Canaries are an annual market
for 100000 tons of coal, practically
all of which before the war was sup
piled from Newcastle"

LYNCHINGS ON INCREASE.
Thirteen More Recorded Than For
Same Period Last Year.

New York. - Professor Monroe n.
Work, head of the department of rec
ords and research of the Tuskegee in
stitute of Alabama, has compiled the
records Of the number of lynchings
committed in the United States during
the first six months of this year. In
statement given recently Booker L.
Washington, the head Of the institute,
shows that thirty-four men were put
to death by mob violence since Jan. 1,
1915, the number being thirteen more
than the figures for the same period
last year.
Twenty-four Of the men lynched
We're negroes and ten were whites.
Eight, or one-fourth of the total num-
Der, occurred in Georgia. Six Of the
negroes and one white man were
charged with assault on women, and
the rest of the lynchings were on ac-
cusations of having stolen cotton, hogs,
meat and COWS.

Washington. = Fifty years ago the
Union armies, fresh from the battle
fields of the civil war and the surren-

Pennsylvania avenue in Washington.
1t was a grand review of the war
Scared legions Of Grant and Sherman,
Of Meade and Sheridan, and the other
famous commanders whose "boys in

swung proudly past to the eXulting
music Of their bands, while the battle
bloody fields waved over the trium-
plant host.
This thrilling pageant Of national in

possible during the forty-ninth annual

Washington Sept. 81 to Oct next.

Because of the increasing death rate

TREND OF OCEAN CURRENTS.
Japanese Government Has Thrown
1000 Bottles Overheard.

Seattle, Wash.-In an effort to de-
termine the flow of currents in the
Pacific ocean the japanese government
has thrown 1000 bottles overheard in
a large area south and east Of Japan.
The first was dropped on May 80 and
the last on June 80.
Each bottle contained a request in
eleven languages that it be returned
to the Imperial Fisheries institute at
Tokyo with exact information as to
the time and place it is picked up.
According to local mariners, many
of these bottles will get into Puget
sound and some into the gulf Of Low
er California. In recent years large
quantities of wood, both trees and lum-
Der, from Japan, Siberia and the Phil
ippines have been picked up On Puget
sound shores. 1t is believed by many
seafaring men that the current from
off the Japan and China coast returns
to the orient after a great circuit
through the Pacific as far south as the
Hawaiian group.
A substantial reward is offered to
the finder of each bottle.

DOG SAVES THIRTY-EIGHT.
German Captain Spares Boats For
EngIishman's Bravery.


EncIishran's Bravery.
London.-How the rescue of a dog
touched the heart of a German subma-
rine commander has been revealed by
the National Canine Defense league.
The league has decided to award Cap
tain Robinson a silver medal for brave
conduct in saving his wife's dog.
Robinson was in charge of British
vessel, which, ignoring the signal to
take to the boats, was shelled and
chased by a German submarine. The
steering gear was destroyed and the
ship compelled to stop. The captain
gave Betty. a Pomeranian, to the sec
ond officer to put into a boat, but in
passing the dog down one of the crew
dropped her into the water.
When Robinson entered the boat
Betty could be seen swimming toward
the submarine. Without hesitation the
captain jumped into the water and
swan about a quarter mile caught the
dog and put her ON his shoulder. AS the
submarine had drawn up to him, the
captain laid hold of her in order to re-
cover his breath. The German COM
mander said, in imperfect English, 81
made up my mind to blow up your
boats because you did not stop your
ship, but will not for your saving the
little dog"
Consequently, thirty-eight lives were
saved through the rescue of the dog.

twenty years of service in the heart of
Africa, was born in Washington fifty
one years ago and received his educa-
ton from private tutors. Then he be-
came interested in African affairs and
was the fourth Of his family who tried
to stamp out the slave traffic. He took
an active part in the suppression of

exploring trips which resulted in
adding new features to the maps of
Africa. governed humanely 100000
natives, substituted peaceful markets
of exchange for old fOrays and tribal
wars and assisted in breaking up
cannibalism. For his work in the
Kongo Free State and other parts Of
Africa Mr. Mohun was decorated by
the governments of England, Belgium
and France.
He was also decorated by the sultan
of Zanzibar for his work as interme-
diary between the British admiralty
and the sultan at the time of the Win

was one of the few surviving comrades

The explorer first went to Africa as
a commercial agent for the United
States, after the governments of the
world had recognized the Congo Free

at the expiration of his service for the
United States-about three years-the
Belgian government sought his serv-
ices.
Mr.. Mohun's wife, who was before
her marriage Miss Harriet l.. Barry
of New York, once accompanied him
to Zanzibar, but spent most of the time
in Belgium, between which country and
Africa communication was rapid. Mr..
Mohun was an officer of the Red Cross
ship which was sent to Belgium from
this country last year. His great
grandfather, William McKenny, was
prominent in the African colonization

He had rare collection of pictures
of African scenes made during his
service there. Although not connect
