Beauty Of the Dove.

The mourning dove received it's
given name from the mournful sound
Of it's call notes. It's sadvoiced coo,
coo, coo, suggests moaning and, next

sitive woman who was SO affected by
the daily mourning of neghboring
dove that she begged a sportsman to
frighten it away. Another peculiar
fact about this bird is the strange mu-
steal note that is sounded by the vibra-
ton of its wings. AS the bird springs
from the ground in flight. or wings it's
way overhead the pulsatons of it's
wings give forth O. ringing, metallic
sound like the twanging Of tight
wire. This dove loves country roads,
more than any other bird, and TO those

plumagc is always pleasing touch Of

Causes of STRANGE "Worrics."

AFTER BRIDGE DYNAMlTER
Canada Seeks Extradition of Alleged
German Officer.

Vanceboro, Me-, Feb. 3.-Another
international problem incident to the
war was thrust upon the United States
by the action of Werner Van Horn,
who, operating on the Canadian side
of the border, dynamited the railway
bridge over the st. Croix river and
then escaped into this state,
A few hours later, in room at a
hotel here, Van Horn quietly submit
ted to arrest, but Immediately pro-
claimed himself an officer of the Ger
man army and set up the claim that
he had committed an act of war and,
having fled to a neutral country, could
not be legally surrendered to an enc
my of the fatherland
The Canadian authorities, however,
at once instituted proceedings to OBJ.
tain the extradition Of the prisoner ON
a charge of destruction to railroad
property.
Pending the outcome of these efforts
Van Horn is held at the immigration
office here in custody of Deputy Sher-
if George w. Ross of Washington

GRAIN and FLOUR
Will Be SEIZED.
Britain Declares Them Comb

DUE TO GERMANY'S ACTION

Ambassador Page Cables the State
Department From London Regard
ing Instructions Issued to the Brit
ish FIeet-seeretary Bryan Requests
Further information.
Washington, Feb. 3-Ambassado1
Page at London cabled the state de
partment that the British fleet has
been ordered to treat cargoes of grain
and flour destined for Germany OF
Austria as conditional contraband
subject to seizure and contiscation.
This step, the ambassador explain
ed, followed the announcement that
the German government had decreed
contiscation Of all grain and flour to
conserve the nations food supply.
Since the publication of the German
order the ambassador here, Count Won
Bernstorff, has virtually assured the
American government that no bread
stuffs imported from the United States
or other neutral countries would be
subject to seizure and press dispatches
have announced the issuance of a
modifying decree making such ex-
emptiOns by the German government.
One Exception Is Made.
Ambassador Page said the British
government has informed him that be-
cause the steamship Wilhelmina,
bound from New York for Bremen
with grain and other goods, sailed be-
fore the issuance of the German de-
cree an exception would be made in
it's case.
The vessel will be seized, but it will
be released and its cargo purchased
at invoice price by the British gov
eminent.
Warning was given, however, that
other shipments hereafter of like char.
acter, when destined for Germany d.
rectly or indirectly, will be seized, as
we'll as the vessels carrying them,
without compensation being paid.
This announcement put an entirely
new complexion on the negotiations
that have been in progress intermit-
tently since the beginning of the war
regarding the right of neutral states
to ship food supplies to belligerent
countries.
The state department has not de-
cided what shall be done.
Ambassador Page has been asked
for further information.

more than five times that in the best

the rate of 256 in each 1000: Those
whose fathers earned $25 or more a
week died at the rate of "a a 1000

under one year of age when breast

against 1858 to each 1000 who died
when fed with artificial foods.
