PORTO RICO SHEDS TEARS

Among the many other troubles
brought to the White House is a
complaint from the working men of
Porto Rico, representing the Free
Federation of Workingmen OF that
island. These workers complain that
on the sugar and other plantations
they are being underpaid, that the po-
lice force is used to suppress them,
that they have been denied the right
of assembly and free speech, and also
denied the right to call labor strike
They assert that efforts are made to
keep English from being taught in the
schools. and that taxes have been re-
duced to save the rich until 100000
school children have no school accom-
modations.

COUNTING THE LOSSES,

From England's tragic casualty list
n fair estimate can be arrived at as
TO the enormous loss Of life during
the months of war.
England and Germany are the only
two nations making public the list OF
the dead wounded and missing,
France. Belgium, Russia and Austria
seem to feel that it is unwise to give
publicity to their losses.
In Germany list is published at
the end of each week indicating the
names of the dead, wounded, and
missing. as all are enlisted and as
signed by numbers.
The German lists are for home use
and this country knows only so much
as the German censors see fit to send
out from Berlin. With England it
is different, and we are enabled to
secure accurate statistics so far as
they can be compiled
AT the opening of the war this pol.
icy of silence was pursued by the
English war cabinet, but this threw
a damper over recruiting and it is
now the policy of the government to
confront the people with the real
facts in order that they may appre-
ciate and understand the gravity Of
the situation This, it is believed,
will stimulate the stay at homes to
enlist
Great Britain's latest statement,
made by Premier Asduith to the
house of commons, takes in the per
iod from the beginning of the war
until May 81 In this time no less
than 25S,OG9 Englishmen have died,
been wounded, or are missing. This
total is exclusive of all naval losses
and the loss of life among the troops
campaigning in Asia, Africa and the
colonies.
Comparing this total with the pre-
yious totals issued by the British war
office, it will be seen that England's
losses have greatly increased. This
may be readily explained because OF
the greater number of men in the
field, and to the spring campaign,
which has been the most deadly since
the war began.
Another tragic feature OF the report
is that it shows the great loss of
commissioned officers, four officers
having fallen to every one hundred
men. England's forces are now defc.
lent in trained fofcers, and these
losses must he felt with particular
severity
If this list of the dead and missing
represents the loss of England alone,
fair idea can be gained Of what
the losses of other nations must be,
Germany especially, because Germany
is fighting in two directions.
And this loss Of life must continue.
Europe is mad with the lust of blood,
and so long as commanders urge the
call of duty men will willingly give
up their lives for the cause of their
country. Commercial APP
pea.

GALE FORMS WATERSPOUT
UNUSUAL TEXAS PHENOMENON

Freeport, June ia gale of the cy-
clonic variety passed over the mouth
of the Brazos this morning. The path
of the storm seemed less than 200 feet
wide and lasted fifteen minutes on
land and thence blew out into the gulf,
where an immense waterspout was
formed, which, travelling at random
through the waters made a peculiar
spectacle.
The steamer Montera was in port
loading with sulphur and was in the
path of the storm, but sustained no
material damage. A ladder in one Of
the vessels holds was lifted out and
jammed into the rigging. A severe
electrical storm ragged in Freeport, ac-
companied by a heavy rain, but no
property damage was done.

Lioness Claws Trainer.

George WoOlsey, twenty-three years
old, an animal trainer with a circus
showing in Jersey City, N. J., had an
exciting experience with Grace, an
enraged lioness, and as a result is in
Christ hospital.
Woolsey had been through the
cages of a number of animals, includ'
ing those Of several lions, and stepped
blithely into the cage Of Grace.
The 1ioness was ugly from the start
and the trainer shouted at her and
whacked her with a stick. With a
roar she made for him, paws extended
and mouth wide open. WOolsey put
up his right arm and it was severely
clawed. He grabbed Grace by the
throat, but she bore him back against
the bars of the cage.
The trainer yelled for help, and two
keepers sprang into the cage, while
two more stood outside with loaded
rifles, ready to shoot.
The keepers clubbed the infuriated
Ioness over the head and paws and
fought her back into a corner, while
q third man helped Woolsey out.
AS soon as the men backed away
from the animal she sprang at them
Down came two big clubs on the top
Of her head, and before she could re-
cover the men were safely outside.

The PRESIDENT
A GODFATHER
with Mr. SayTG'S Brother Be-
comes CrandsOn's Sponsor.
CHRISTENING WAS PRIVATE

Miss Agnes Winter, of Philadelphia,
Is Godmother to sayre Baby-Plant
Tree For Child.
In st. Johns Episcopal church in
Williamstown, Mass, President Will
son became one of the sponsors for
his grandson.
Rev. J. Franklin Carter, the. pastor
of the church, conducted the cere-
mony, using the regular Episcopal
service. Contrary to the expectations
of outsiders, the presidents grandson
was christened Francis Woodrow
Sayre.
Only the immediate members of the
family and few close friends of the
Sayre family attended the baptism.
Willard E. Hoyt, the treasurer of Viii.
liams college, and his wife; DR.. Van
derpool Adriance, the family physi.
clan, and his wife were among the
first to arrive at the church.
DR.. Garfield, president of Williams
college, and Mrs. Garfield came with
Mrs. Mason, President Garield's
mother-in-law. After the arrival of
Mrs. Robert H. Sayre, the grand.
mother of Master Sayre, and John
Nevins Sayre, who was to become one
of the godfathers, Miss Margaret viii.
son and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones
walked to the church, accompanied by
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, the White House
physician.
An automobile carried President
Wilson and the Sayre family to the
scene of the baptism. A cold wind
and the harsh damp atmosphere made
1t necessary for Master Sayre to be
bundled up in blanket, while he was
carried to the church in the arms Of
his father. Only when he was taken
from his fathers arms in the church
did he utter any cry of timidity.
President Wilson, John Nevins
Sayre, the godfathers, and Miss Agnes
Winter, of Philadelphia, the god.
mother of the Sayre baby, responded
in unison to the questions of the
church ritual. Miss Winter is an old
friend of Mrs. Sayre and co-operated
with her in settlement work in Phila
delphia after her graduation from
Gucher college.
On Saturday the entire family par
ty, with DR.. Garfield and Mrs. Gar
field and Rev. J. F. Carter, gathered
on the side lawn of the Sayre home
and planted a small walnut tree pre-.
sented to Baby Sayre by Mrs. Gar
field. It was a happy group and the
president Joined in the laughter caus'
ed when the baby firmly grasped the
tree with both hands and tried to
take It from his father. It was the
first time the president had seen the
baby since the child left the White
House.
AS soon as the tree was planted in
the ground the president turned a
spadeful of earth around its roots, and
hen all present, including Mr.. and
Mrs. Sayre, followed suit. The baby
yurgled delightedly and Mr.. Wilson
latted him several times on the cheek

ReIieve EaaIe Lamb rhIef.

A mountain eagle measuring seven
and a half feet from tip to tip of its
wings and weighing thirty-fve pounds,
was shot at Hays Cohners, about
twelve miles from Wilkes-Barre, Pa,
by ollie Hay.
When brought down it had lambs
wool in its talons, and the raisers in
the section are now looking for its
nest to verify the theory that it car
ried off several of the small lambs OF
their hocks.
The farmers say that the eagle was
powerful enough to carry off three
year-old child. 1t is the first eagle
ever shot in the region, according to
farmers who have lived in the vicin-
ity all their lives.
