VOLCANIC OUTBREAK
IN HtBR|DES GROUP
PREVIOUS ERUPTION KILLED 500
Sky OBSCURED AND DARK
NESS NIGH

SYDNEY, Australia, Nov. &c. -
Delayed reports have brought news
of a fresh volcanic outbreak on the
island of Ambrim, in the New He
bridges group, a spot which expert
enced a most destructive eruption in
December, 1913.
The Rev. A. T. Waters, a mission
airy stationed on the island of Goa.
about 60 miles from Ambrim, writes
during the first few days of October
last smoke and volcanic ash cloud
ed the sky so thickly that the sun
gave only a weird light like the
moon, and it eventually became so
dark that the people on Goa had to
light lamps. Everything became
gritty with ashes indoors, and out-of.
doors they were so thick that the
sea could not be seen from the mrs
sion house, which ordinarily afford
ed a fine view of the water.
There was for a time some panic
among the natives of Oba, who
thought n of the mountains on
their w island was in eruption, but
the source of the trouble was later
traced to Ambrim, and it appeared as
though the entire island was burn
ing. The m~issionary's letter did not
say that anyone ventured to visit
Ambrim during the eruption, and the
extent of the damage or loss of life,
If any is unknown.
The previous eruption at Ambrim,
in December, 1913, was reported to
have cost the lives of 500 natives,
and to have completely altered the
face and coast line of the island. Ac-
cording to the natives of Oba the
recent trouble appeared to have been
still worse than the previous erup-
ton.
Little is known of the interior OF
Ambrim, which has been visited but
rarely by white men. No census
has ever been taken, but among the
coast settlements there are a num-
Der of mission stations, mainly Ro-
man Catholic and Presbyterian,
whose members had a narrow escape
in the previous eruption.
The New Hebrides islands have
been controlled since 1906 by a Joint
commission of British and French
officials under the supervision of
TWO resident commissioners, one ap-
pointed by each nation.

Stay Off The Tracks.

One hundred and thirty-one persons were
killed, 1873 were injured about the body, twenty
six lost one limb and three lost two limbs by tres
passing railroad property in the state of Indi-
ana in 1914 according to the report of the Asso-
citation of Railway Claims Agents. Ninety three
in this list were persons 80 years or under. One
hundred and ninety-six were Americans, sixty
foreigners and the nationality of forty-two was
unknown. During this period, 4,746 were killed
and 5000 injured in the United States.
What a frightful toll Almost 800 lives
snuffed out for trespassing on property con-
stantly exposing the trespasser to the hazards of
death and injury. The records of the Interstate
Commerce Commission indicate that during the
last twenty-five years, trespassers have COM
prised the bulk of deaths on railroads. in fact so
the association sets out to the extent of So per
cent. This percentage is not decreasing but is
increasing. comparison of six months ending
in March this year with similar previous period
shows that trespassers are counting destruction
and injury in increasing numbers.
Indianas death and accident list is sordid
commentary on the negligence of persons tres
passing railroads and how fraught with op-
portunities for lifetime misery is the practice
Thirty-o boys, Is years and under, are in
cluded in the Indiana list. Parents should take
to heart the warning of the railroads and insist
that their boys stay off the tracks and quit
"hopping" trains.

Chance For Energetic Boys.

There always is room for an energetic boy
is maxim TINT is taught from the earliest
grades to the senior year in high school. Many
boys tire of the monotony of the admonition and
become calloused to its truth. They cannot see
the fulfillment of the precept in the hundreds OF
examples that daily confront them.
But the fact remains indisputably true Coco
positions are always awaiting good men. AND
capable men are lacking because too many boys
do not grow up to be energetic, hustling men. A
wide-awake boy is difficult to find, complain bus
mess men and heads Of industrial concerns But
when the head of business house, factory o,
financial institution, notices lad who is attend.
ing strictly to business and boosting his employ
er's business day in and day out, that boy goes te
the front, and hi goes fast.
The boys of Richmond would do well to look
at some of the raen who have succeeded in Rich.
mond or who bsgan their careers here. Many OF
them began messenger boys, porters, office
boys. The rew!.rd of the zeal with which they
did their mental duties was constant promotion
which in time boosted them to the head of the
ladder. There's chance for every boy that sees
a chance in his present job and is willing to work
The boss will do the boosting in good time.

Insular Arrogance.

Tie daring hardihood, the love for adventure
and conquest, as well as the pugnacity of the
early English people, have been traced by his
torians. to the insular isolation Of the country
where they lived Surrounded by water, resid-
ing on IN island whose fertility is not very great
the attention of it's inhabitants soon turned to
NAVIGATION; and the conquest of the sea and the
tempest entailed thereby, developed race
injured 10 hardship and loving conquest and
adventure.
Out Of this insular position, then, grew the
puqnacity of the Englishmen, both with respect
to war an commerce. In the lapse of centuries,
the Englis shman has carried his pugnacity to the
ends of the earth. It has marked his successes
both as a military and a commercial power
Along nth his pugnacity, there developed an
other trait. namely arrogance and conceit, both
by the way; marked characteristics of the whole
Anglo-Saxor race in it's treatment of other races:
John Bull believes he can hurt everybody and
anything, bat that nobody and nothing can hurt
him. - ....-
Hence, his arrogant attitude toward the Teu-
tonic allies and his budozing tactics lately to-
ward Greece hence, also his howl at the unmer-
cifully severe beating he is receiving. Hence,
also, going tnack little further, his growing
when German enterprise tore away large chunks
of his commercial supremacy. Hence, finally, his
arrogance in "controlling American commerce
on the Atlantic.
Turn now to the other monumental example
of insllar puenacity and arrogance-LTTTLE
JAPAN. In japan the world has seen another
race assume the bulldozing characteristic of its
British prototype. Flushed with its military
victory over Russia, the mikado is now conquer
ing the markets of the East and is preparing for
the time when lae will dictate on what terms, how
and where the United States shall trade in the
Pacific.
Great Britain in the Atlantic, Japan in the
Pacific, insignificant islands, territorially, yet
possessed of enough insular arrogance to bull
doze the whole world, the United States included.
Insular arrogance in the Atlantic and in the
Pacific, with the United States as bumper How
soon will the bumper be forced to feel the iron
heel of one or both of them?
