Dutch CoIonu
Hurt By War
(By Associated Press.)

THE HAGUE, April 5.-Curacao, the
Dutch Island colony near Venezuela,
although far away from the scene Of
hostilities and belonging to a neutral
nation, is one of the victims of the
worlds war. In answer to pressing
call for aid Queen Wilhelmina and
the minister of the interior have ap-
pointed commission to inquire into
the condition of the colonists.
Thousands of the natives, 1t appears,
have been thrown out of work by the
disappearance from the seas of Ger
man merchant ships, which made the
capital of the Dutch colony regular
place of call. Many persons have been
forced to return from Venezuela and
other South American republics to
their homes in the five islands of Gu
racoa, Bonaire, Aruba, Sabaneta and
Santa Cruz, because all trade between
Venezuela and Germany has stopped.
The industries of the Dutch islands
themselves have been brought to a
standstill. Many of the phosphate
mines have ceased work, as it was
found impossible to export their pro-
ducts, and the straw hat trade, which
usually keeps the peasants alive in
times of drought, has been ruined.
Hats to the value of 100000 were
generally sold every year until the
outbreak of the war. This season,
however, scarcely any orders have
been received, and the poor people,
whose harvests have been ruined by
the drought, have been left almost
without food in many districts. Off
cial reports received by the home gov
eminent show that numbers of the in
habitants of Aruba have succumbed t.
famine and that the situation is grad
ually growing worse.

WANT To MAKE BERLIN
THE FASHION CENTER

BERLIN. April 5.-German modistes
and miliners are taking advantage Of
the war and the consequent shortage
of French clothes and fashions to
further the agitation that it now gen
eral for the, creation of a German
vogue in hats. dresses and other ar
ticles Of wearing apparel.
Berlin is being urged as the future
fashion center in place of Paris, and
German women are asked to wear only
such clothes as have been made in
Germany, by Germans, of German
materials. Even the men are to be ap-
pealed to to influence their wives an /
daughters in, the right direction.
In the past. it is declared, the public
has not properly supported the handi-
work of German milliners, even when
they have turned out CONNECTIONS
quite as good as those of their Paris
fan sisters. Women are asked now to
turn their attention more closely to
home talent" The milliners, in
their turn. are urged to pay greater
attention TO variety in styles and taste.
The German manufacturer, it is
claimed, viii produce first class mil
Iinery just as soon as he is assured of
a market for it. Heretofore he has
been discouraged in this because the
German women have shown a prefer
ence for French goods whenever the
price was approximately on a par with
that OF German things.

SEA Of MARMORA
CONTROLS OUTLET
FROM RUSSIA
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., April s.
A statement by the National Geograph-
dc society with reference to the Sea Of
BEar1nora, which is the connecting link
bstween the Dardanelles and the Bos-
phOrus, says:
with the strongest fleet ever as
sembled for battle reported fighting its
way through the Dardanelles toward
the Sea of Marmora, this quiet Turkish
sheet of water suddenly has taken on
"a thrilling world-importance, for its
area may soon witness the last scene
of the mighty struggle of centuries for
the preservation of Europe from the
saRreOtie effects of eastern aggression.
Mature has been more than gener-
GUS in her provisions for guarding this
sea between Asia and Europe against
hostile power. The Bosphorus, its
approach from the Black Sea on the
north, is a deep, water-filled, twisting
valley, whose surface almost all the
way is at the mercy of the enclosing
mountain heights. In the south, the
DRrdaReIles, while of greater breadth
than the BOsphOrus, form an easily de-
Tended channel AZ miles long, and
commanded by its shore heights.
''sIarmOra Sea is wonderful amphi
theatre for a modern naval struggle. |
An elliptical bowl OF bluest water, it !
is enclosed by hilly shoreline, which
is bold and steep on the Asiatic side.
From east to west, the sea is IT'S miles
long, while its extreme width is about
so miles. 1t has an area of 4,5OO
square miles.
''Constantinople, the objective of the
invading fleets, lies tucked away near
the nOrthermost point of Marmora, at |
the opening of the Bosphorus outlet. |
In the west and south are several |
considerable islands, of which the
largest, Msrmora, has been famous for
its Alabaster and marbles since the
days OF Grecian sculptural and archi- |
tectural glory.
The Sea OF MarmOra is the most IA
NOUS and important sea of passage in
the world. Behind its waters, along
the northern shore of the Black Sea,
are the most fertile and favored prov
inces of the Russian Empire, Russia's |
granary; while on the eastern Black |
Sea coast lies Russ:a's greatest oil
port and her famous oil-bearing him
terfand. This Turk-dominated sea IS
the most important avenue of Central
Asia's raw materials western trans
port and of the Vests manufactures
for consumption in the Central East"

ment to the spectators. Frederic

a prize splendid pocket knife.
Misses Edna Hayes was the winner
of the hoop throwing contest, receiving
a beautiful silver thimble as the prize

1t being too chilly out, tables were
prepared in the school house, and a
dinner, such as only community like
Huntington can spread, was placed on
the ample boards. Country ham, chick

peach pickle, and, in fact, everything
that could tempt the most fastidious
palate, was in abundant evidence.

Lieutenant Alfred l.. EIDE was the
commander of the United States sub
marine F-4, which sank to the bottom
of Honolulu harbor and was found
forty -eight hours later in 800 feet
of water. His home was in Reno,
New.
Speaking of the danger of sub
marines, in connection with the sink
ing of this vessel, and before hope Of
rescuing members of the crew had
been abandoned, Thomas A. Edison,
who has made study of them, had
this to say:
IF any of the men on the subma-
rine F-4 lost their lives, death was
undoubtedly due to chlorine gas gen.
Grated as the result of the lead storage
batteries being flooded by sea water"
Early in October last he had visit
ed the Brooklyn navy yard and there
had inspected the submarine, GA. 1t
was the first time he had been on
such a craft, and after his visit he
said;
THE danger to the life and health
OF those who go down on submarines
will not be lessened until the possibil-
its of the generation of chlorine fumes
is removed.

The trustees have unanimously ten

pleased with his administration. Mr..
Bryant is graduate of one of the
South's best colleges, and his recon-

the highest ability as an instructor and
disciplinarian.

marine is that the lead storage batter
les are carried in compartment sur
rounded by the main ballast tanks.
When sea water is admitted to these
tanks the boat sinks. This, in con-
junction with other means, enables
the boat to submerge. 1t is evident
when the water is admitted to this
tank it is under pressure.
"The containing jars of lead cells
are made of fragile hard rubber,
easily broken. Sulphuris acid leaks
from these jars and attacks the steel
wall of the main ballast tank with
the resultant corrosion. When the
sea water is admitted to the main bal
last tank when submerging, the
weakened wall gives way and the sea
water foods the battery tank. When
sea water mixes with sulphuric acid
in a lead battery hydrochloric acid is
formed. This attacks the lead plates
and produces chlorine gas. Also
when lead battery is submerged in
sea water, electricity passes from the
cells through the sea water and
liberates chlorine gas in volume"
