THOU SHALT
NOT KILL !"

We have heard and read manv
a strong statement favoring pro-
hibition, but the following elo-
quent appeal for suppression of
the liquor traffic is second to
none in it's heart-reaching capac-
ity. The Honorable Judge who
uttered it is by nature a strong
advocate of prohibition and it's
principles, and the circumstan-
ces in this case were such as to
arouse his deepest feelings
against the traffic in liquor. OF
the narrowing details of the
crime committed by Hendrick-
son we care little, but below is
the text of Judge Pollock's re-
marks in passing sentence upon
him. It should not take manv
such cases to bring about ma
tional prohibition:
divine and human law declares
T hou shalt not kill You stand be-
fore the bar OF Justice contessing to
having committed the revolving crime
OF numbering, in cold blood, the wo-
mar you promised.to love, honor and

tempted self destruction, could Justly

Tho Parrots Mistake.

Have you heard Of "Merrie Eng
land?" Well, 1t isn't always merry.
but here is a very merry sailor boy
story that comes from there.
Some parrots can talk in a very
clever manner, and their droll sayings
often make people laugh.
One particular parrot was the pet
on board a warship, and it was so
very clever that it learned to initiate
a great many things. It often heard
the boatswain of the ship blow his
whistle when he was ordering the
sailor men about their work, and
before very long it could initiate
exactly every kind Of whistle.
Well, n day a party of ladies
came from the. shore in a small boat
on a visit to the warship, and ais the
sides of the ship were very high. they
had to sit in a chair to be hoisted on
to the deck.
A rope was fastened to the chair,
OF course, and some sailormen pulled
the rope until the lady in the chair
got to the deck.
Polly the parrot was looking round
a corner watching the ladies come
on deck in that way. And suddenly,
as the sailormen were pulling up an.
other of the ladies, Polly whistled
like the boatswain, and called out,
LET go!"
The sailormen thought 1t was the
boatswain, who had whistled, and they
let go the rope at once. and in a mo-
ment the poor lady was in the sea!
Most fortunately, however, some
other sailormen were on the watch,
n they quickly pulled the lady out
of the water.

a healthy increase in the receipts from

while the totals are not as large as
they should be, it will be seen that the
tendency is toward diversified farm

AFFAIRS IN TRENCHES.

Cologne, March 22.-The useful
ness of the field affairs that have
been sent by Catholic societies
throughout Germany to priests at
the front with troops is described
by one of the Catholic chaplains
now with the soldiers near RheimS.
With the altar with which he has
been furnished he has been able
to go into the trenches even, into
the hospitals and to hold services
in a, dozen places a day instead of
one or two.
The equipment of the field altar
enabled him to say mass and TO
administer the sacrament, where
previously he had to content him
self in many cases with an out
door sermon. Whenever possible
he borrowed the use of q church,
and to this would come, often on
foot, the Catholic soldiers in
troops nearby. In many villages,
however, he found either that no
church existed or that the town
had been devastated.

BACK TO NATURE.

Berlin, March 22.-Surgery upon
the battlefield, according to well
known physician, DIR. Ziegelroth,
is becoming more and more a mat
ter OF back to nature. The doc
tors, military and civil, who are
tending the wounded in the west,
are discovering, not without some
surprise, how potent a factor ma
ture is in healing wounds.
AmputationS are reSOrted to on
ly in cases of utmost necessity,
and surgeons are acting with the
greatest conservatism where pre-
vlouSly limbs were severed quick
ly when certain symptoms ap-
peared. The conservatism appears
to be awarded by recoveries that
ordinarily would have been consid-
cred impossible. Ordinary wounds
are dressed with antiSeptic ban
dages. and then are not rebound
any more than necessary. The
healing is being left to efficient ma
ture.
The civil practitioners in the
western field, according to DR..
Ziegelroth, are engaged in a
friendly but spirited contest with
the military physicians, and are
giving extraordinary service. Men
who in ordinary life have gold
en- practice" are enduring all the
hardships Of the field without
murmur, and good=humoredly con-
test for bundles of straw upon
which to sleep in barns and sta
bles. The snoring of fellow physi-
clans seems to bother them more
than the artillery fire.

killed directly by the Zeppelin bombs,
which were dropped in Paris and its
envIrons early yesterday they resulted
in one death, that of Nine. Charles
Pesson, who lived in the Rue Des

amined several witnesses he drew up
a report to which will be annexed re-

A city analyst who spent the day
collecting bombs which did not ex-
plode and fragments of those which
did, took them to his laboratory for
chemical analysis. From cursory
examination he found most of the
missiles dropped were incendiary, con-
tanning a mixture of phosphorus, tar
and benzine, provided with a lighting
contrivance consisting of a wick
soaked in petroleum.

SAVED BY LABOR men
Lloyd George Proves Loyalty of the
Industrial Classes.

London, March 22.-David Lloyd
George chancellor of the exchequer,
placed grave emphasis upon the i'm
mediate necessity for a tremendous
increase in the output of war material,
in an interview granted today by him
to a representative of the Daily Citi-
zen He dwelt also the change
which had come over great industrial
relations as a result of the war and
the value of confidence between labor
and the state. The establishment of a
labor advisory committee was regard
ed by Mr.. Lloyd George as a step
which may have almost incalculable
results He believed this was the first
time such a thing had been done in
country
