BALFOUR AND
ASQUITH CONFER
British Premier Meets Nations Leading
Statesmen-Lansdown Is
Present.

London May 2l.--Premier Asquith yes
terday took up the task of forming the
new coalition cabinet which is to sup
plant the present Liberal ministry. The
cabinet will not be completed for several
days, and it is expected formal announce.
ment of its composition will be withheld
until before Parliament reconvenes on
June 3.
AT his official residence in Downing
street, the prime minister yesterday con-
ferred with Arthur J. Balfour, who may
be the new first lord of the admiralty !;
Bonar Law, Unionist leader, who is GER
tain OF a portfolio; Lord Lansdowne, Sir
Edward Grey, David Lloyd George and
Home Secretary Mckenna.
Later in the day the premier conferred
with the marquis OF Crewe and Austen
Chamberlain.
II is accepted that Winston Churchill
will have to resign from his post as first
lord of the admiralty. II any doubt of
this existed following Premier Asquith's
announcement in the House of Commons
that cabine, changes were in contempla-
ton, it was removed by the fact that
Lord Fisher. first sea lord OF the admiral
ty, has returned to his desk. IL is well
that there is not room in the
same department for both Fisher and
Churchill.

VANDALISM AT QUINCY.
Someone Save, Derrick Guys but the
Condition Was Discovered.

Quincy, Mass, May 2l.-The fortunat,
discovery OF two sawed guy ropes sup
porting the derrick in the granite cut
ting yard OF Guido Serafneli of Quarry
street, near the ward four Fairgrounds
prevented the collapse of the derrick anc
its possible fall on the shed where seven
men were at work.
The discovery was made by workmen
who investigated a sagging of the guy
and the vandal who has damaged monu.
mcnts in South Quincy and set three
fires in West Quincy, one OF which
caused loss of $4,000, is thought to
have been responsible.
The guys were sawed nearly all the
way through, the only wire holding them
being a thin strand of which the cable
is made. The sawed guys were on the
side opposite 10 the shed. Their parting
would have resulted in the derrick falling
on the shed.
The derrick is of the l5-ton variety
and has been in constant use the past
few days. IL has been seen 10 tremble
when light loads were lifted and il is
thought that all that has saved il from
falling was the fact that no heavy stones
have been lifted.
Whether or not the guys have been
sawed for several DAYS is an open ques-
ton but il is generally believed in West
Quincy that the work was done Satur-
day night, after the fire broke out in the
sheds of Mcdonald and Tinkamen on
Willard street, short distance away
The police who have been at work in
vestigating the vandalism have not as
yet uncovered anything that will lead
% the apprehension of the man.
Vandalism has been rampant in the
'ity the past few years and records show
I has always been just before Memorial

AMERICAN MANU-
FACTURE OF GREG

Shortage of Imported Wood Preservative
Stimulates Domestic Production
Tie Plants Largest Consumers.

Washington. d. c., May 20.-0wing t.
a falling off since August | OF nearly sc

England and Germany, whence comes all

country, American manufacturers have
taken steps which, says a report com.

mated will increase production of the
domestic article by about 25 per cent.
The imported oil ordinarily forms about
IS per cent OF the total used in the
United States, where creosote is the
most important wood preventative.
The statistics gathered show that wood
preserving is one of the most rapidly adj
vsncing industries in the country. In
1895 there were fifteen plants in the
United States; in 1914, there were 1872
plants OF all kinds, 100 being of the
pressure-cylinder type. Ninety -four OF
these plants last year used more than
70 million gallons of ereosote oil. more
than ~ million pounds of dry zinc
chloride, and nearly two and one.hslf
millions gallons of other preservstives,
such as coal tar and crude oil, treating
a total of nearly 100 million cubic feet
OF timber. an increase OF about seven
million cubic feet over 1913. and OF SO
million cubic feet over 1912.
The most important consumers are
the large plants in which railroad ties
are treated. The preservatiyes material

Methodist Jubilee Day

The return of the Rev. w. T. Best to
the Worthwhile Puffer M. E. church for
the seventh year of his passionate was fit
tingly comm emorated as Jubilee Day,
May 20, when about 25 of the captains of
host went out two by two throughout
the community and Surrounding towns,
reaching the entire constituency of the
church, and those who attended no church
| in viting them to the services of the
church and giving all an opportunity to
show their appreciation of the privilege
of living in Christian civilization in a
practical way.
The climax of the day was reached
when about 200 people, attendants and
supporters of the church, partook of a
sumptuous banquet served by the ladies
and young men of the church in their
peerless manner and listened to the post
prandal exercises, T. b. Ellis serving as
POSTMASTER in his usual wise and witty
manner, holding the attention of the
large audience to very late hour. The
roll call of the volunteers for the days
campaign was responded to by reports of
the success of the day in cheerful and
| optimistic strain and exceeded in finan-
cal success the hopes of the most san
| guine. The real success of the day was
proven by the large congregation on the
following Sunday morning. In the even
| ing's program nearly all of the depart
ments of church work were represented
by speakers especially and actively inter-
ested in that line of work.
The company was favored by vocal
duet by Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Lawson
and a solo by Mrs. Jackson, which were
greatly enjoyed. During the evening
the Young Mems Orchestra of the Meth
odist church rendered music, which
seemed indeed, "a bit of heaven let
down to earth" to grace the occasion.
The principal address of the evening was
given by Rev. w. B. Dukeshire, District
Superintendent of st. Adams District,
who.spoke in strong, magnetic voice on
"The Church of the Future" 1.-THE days
festivities were closed by a strong clar-
ion-lke call by the pastor to the church
to go forward to greater achievements
in the future for God and mankind.'
