 breaks to Be Punished Vigorously.

Liverpool, May 10. 5.12 p. m.-The municipal authorities ordered that all saloons be closed at o'clock tonight, on account of the anti-Gerrnan riots here yesterday.

It could not be stated too emphatically, however, that the in terests of the country demanded that such riots should not take place.
 Some of the persons arrested for participating in the outbreaks were discharged and others were remanded for a week

A., General Secretary Edwin Hill, Boys Secretary J. H. Ely, Physical Director Orville H. Nickerson and A. H. Chase, whose guest ex-Congressman Hobson is while in town.
 President Case was toastmaster. and after his open-ng remarks, introduced Dn .Bane, who was greeted with a. hearty. Qutburst of applause. Dr. Bane asked the boys what their plans for the futpre were and what the underlying motive is that is prompting their plans. He said he feared that the underlying motive for the lives of the majority of people is the motive of securing mon ey- The underlying motive of every ones life ought to be, Where can I render the best service? There are two qualities that enter into real ser vice. The first is character, for man must have character. The second is efficiency. You cannot render efficient service if you become addicted to the use of alcohol. Dr. Bane said there are two things that stand in the way of a boy seeking a position, and they are cigarettes and intoxicants. There is no place in the world for either.
 American Boys Possibilities.
 Captain Hobson was next introduced by President Case and a thunderous burst of applause was given him as he took the floor. Captain Hobson spoke of the marked difference between the possibilities of the American boy com pared with the possibilities of the boys of other lands. These privileges of American citizenship carry with them definite responsibilities, and the Amer ican boy must live up to them. The speaker suggested a method for the boys to follow in shaping their lives. After mapping out your plans, he said, proceed to carry them out, and never cease working until they are carried out.
 He then caught the undivided atten- tion of every boy present by relating several of his exciting adventures dur ing the Spanish war, and also told of a visit he received from the commander in chief of the Spanish navy, while he was a prisoner, and of how he later repaid the visit when the Spanish commander in turn was made prison CT by the Americans.
