Federal Laws Are Limited.
1.-THE department Of justice will con-
tinue unremittingly to Investigate all
such acts and prosecute all developed
violations Of federal statutes, seeking
indictments under the federal law pro
hibiting the interstate transportation
Of explosives, the Sherman law, the
law relating to conspiracy to commit

United States, and the Laws relating
to crimes on ships and on the high

Because, however, Of our dual fern
Of government, thc federal criminal
laws are extremely limited in their
scope.
State Officials Must Aid.
1T follows therefore that such at
tempts to injure and destroy Ameri-
can Industries must usually be prose
cuted by state authorities.
II have instructed agents Of the de-
partment OF justice, whenever they dis
cover evidence OF violations Of state
criminal laws, to place the evidence
at the disposal OF the local state Off
Gals; and assume that such officials
will cooperate in aequainting federal
officers with all information tending
to show the commission of federal
crimes"
The non-action OF state authorities,
particularly ia cases Of inccndiary
fires has been commented upon here
and officials say there must be close
cooperation between state and fed
eral officials and labor leaders as we'll,
before the Iawlessness can be sup

Subjugation of Serbia Near.
London, Nov. 22.-The Austro-Ger-
mans, despite great difficulties of rain
and weather, are bringing their sub
5ugation Of Serbia to conclusion.
Troops under General Won Koeyess
have occupied NoVi Bazaar, according
to the Berlin headquarters report, and
have taken 4,400 more prisoners. 9th
err groups have pressed back the Mon
teDegrins until they are defending
their last positions in the Sanjak.
General Won Gallwitz and the Bulga-
rians under General Boyadjieff are
trying to force the Valley Of The Linn.
Serbs Steadily Forced Back.
Their ranks rent and torn, their
country under the cOnquerors' heel
the Serbians are being steadily forced
back to the great Kossoyo plain. On
this historic battle-ground they will
make their last defense.
Not all of the Serbian army has
been caught in the invaders net, how
ever, according to dispatches. Part
of the harassed force is reported in
an official statement issued by the
Montenegrin consulate at Paris to
have succeeded the Montenegrins on
the River Linn The statement says:
Our troops together with Serbian
forces, sustained heavy attacks on the
River Linn In the Sanjak Of Now
Bazaar, our forces have been obliged
to retire upon their principal posi-
tons"
Serbs Defeat Buioars.
Another Serbian force won q vic
tory of some proportions at Lescovac
south of Nish, according to informa-
ton given out by the Serbian lega-
ton at Rome. Heavy losses were in
ficted upon the Bulgarians.
Important news comes from the
south where it is reported British
forces have arrived at Monastir Deep
mystery has cloaked the situation in
this region for several days, the Bull
garians in the last dispatches having
been reported ia possession of the
town. The British are believed to be
part or tho re-enforcements which are
being poured ashore at Saloniki and
hurried to the front.
Allies Aiding Defenders.
A strong defense by the remnants
of the imperiled Serbian force is now
expected with the help Of their allies.
On the French front the situation is
quiet Large numbers Of Bulgarians
are being kept busy, however, tighten
ing the pressure on the Serbians else
where. An important fact is reported
in the French communiQue which
states that Allied troops are still be
ing sent in numbers to the Balkans
by way OF SaloniH. This, it is be-
lieyed was intended to dispose of the
rumors that the French and British
would withdraw from this theater.

A LIVING TORPEDO.
That Odd Fish, the Electric Ray, Is q
Terror In His Own Wav.

There is a queer fish, bearing the
name torpedo, that In its own peculiar
way is a good deal Of a terror. This
is the torpedo, or electric ray, a dweller
In the southern seas, which grows to a
large size. sometimes weighing seventy
or eighty pounds. This peculiar fish
has Il nearly circular body, a short tail
and a very small mouth.
The back is brownish in color, and
the underneath parts are white.
The torpedo obtains its name from
its power Of giving a violent shock,
similar to an electric shock, to any
thing with which it comes in contact.
Whenever an enemy approaches the
fish emits from its body a kind of cleo.
tricity, which incapacitates the attack.
er Immediately.
In capturing its food the torpedo
finds this power Of use. Being very
inactive, 1t cannot pursue the small
fish which form it's diet, so it lies in
wait until they swim close by and then
throws out its powerful shock, which
instantly renders them helpless.
If Il person touches this strange fish
he is attacked by cramp, which affects
the stomach, producing a kind of con-
vulsion. For this reason the torpedo
is sometimes known as the "cramp
fish."-London Answers.

ARMS OF Antwerp.
They Recall the Queer Custom That
Gave thu CITY lta Name.

~vS wv Nv -
Historians relate that Antwerp takes
its name from a castle which in Frank
ish times marked the site of the city.
This castle was built to protect the
entrance to the Scheldt and to pre-
vent foreign traders introducing goods
into the country without paying toll to
the sovereign lord.
The penalty for theft and smuggling
was in those days the cutting off Of 4
hand, and, as In this CASE the severed
members were thrown into the Scheldt,
the castle came to be known as And
hunerbo-or, in Flemish. Antwerpen-
"the place Of hand throwing" The
castle and two severed hands appear
on the city arms to this day.
Antwerp cathedral's tapering spire
was once compared by Charles V. to
mechlin lace. The towers Of the old
Steen castle, the fortress palace Of the
former counts Of Antwerp, break the
center of the line of docks and look as
stolid and formidable as in the days
when the castle was necessary to guard
the shipping. Here We're held those
great fairs which during the middle
ages served to attract merchants from
all parts Of the civilized world.-Lon-
don Standard.

Shugrue Favors Law.

Professional boxers, as a rule, have
one ambition in life, and that is to be-
come champion Of their respective
classes. That is the one thought they
have In mind from the time they don
the first pair Of boxing gloves, but such
is not the case with Joe Shugrue, New
jerseys sensational lightweight. I'm
like other stars of the roped arena who
have accumulated fortunes in the ring,
Shugrue's aim in life is to become Il
successful member of the bar after he
retires from the boxing game. 1t is the
intention of Freddie Welsh, on the 9TH
er hand, to become Il noted physical
culture expert. such, as William Null
doom or Bill Brown.
Other noted boxers have been sue
cessful in other branches Of business.
Packey Mcfarland has proved his abil-
ity to make a name for himself in the
business world already, being a bank
director. with large interests in several
biz enterprises; Battling Nelson is Il
real estate operator, Jack Monroe Il
mine owner, Jim Corbett and Jimmy
Britt stars Of the footlights, Tom
Sharkey IN owner of thoroughbreds.
and so on. but to Shugrue the legal
profession appeals more than any 9TH
er line of endeavor.
Shugrue. on the advice of one Of his
admirers. a prominent New Jersey
lawyer, has decided to adopt the prac-
tice of law as his profession after he
retires from the ring. Shugrue is a
brainy lad, persevering and courageous,
qualifications absolutely essential for a
man to become one of the most sue
cessful boxers in the world. and it is
the opinion Of his legal friends that a
fellow like Shugrue also would make
a good lawyer. Shugrue has been hav-
ing trouble with his eyes Of late and
may be forced to retire.

Verses 4-9.-A sense of responsibility.
When Solomon assembled the throne
he had to face some preliminary prob

vas easy for any one to see from the
very beginning that he was a man OF
independent mind who realized that he
must rule his people S as to secure
their best interests. David was fire.
quently troubled by conspirators, but
Solomon was determined and got rid
of such tr~oublemakers once and for all.
Solomon began his reign with pros
poets that We're bright and a good out

his first public acts was to offer wor-
ship with appropriate ceremonies and
so i%naugurate his reign with an en-
phatic recognition OF God. "GibeOn'

Of Jerusalem and one of the central
places Of worship. The temple had not

description as 1.-The great high place."
The celebration was IN harmony with
the occasion, and the sacrifices We're
on a lavish scale. "A thousand burnt
offerings" When there We're so many
to participate the king did well to pro-
vide for every one, FOR he thus de-
clared his generosity and gratefulness.
A mark OF the divine approval was
shown the following night, wlcn 1.-THE

He had been thinking of the burdens
of his high office, and when he fell
