RumOrs Of Other Bonn lbs.

Reports have been current in shipping
circles recently that ~uneNploded bombs
have been found In the holds of diff
ferent Atlantic transport ships after
their arrival in England, and that an
explosion on board one OF these vessels
was not entirely unexpected. Bombs
have been found also on other vessels
sailing from this port, 1t WAS said,
among them the Devon City. the Lord
Erne. the Cressington Court and the
Randale. All -four vessels were loaded
at Brooklyn piers,
United States secret service agents
and Police Headquarters detectives are
cooperating with the steamship lines
and the agents OF the British and French
Governments in investigating these
bomb plots. Police Commissioner Woods
announced yesterday that he had de-
tailed an extra force OF men to duty on
the waterfront.
ANY possibility that the Minnehaha
fire might haVe been caused by spon-
taneous combustion was secuted yes
terday by men who helped to load the
ship last week. They said that food

by spontaneous combustion was out Of
the question. The Minuehaha was at

WASHINGTON. July s.-The Navy De-
par,ment to-day took over the wire
less station at Sayville, l.. l.. which was
the only remaining privately owned and
privately operated agency OF commune
cation between the United States and
Germany.
The step was taken by Secretary
Daniels at the request OF the Depart
ment Of Commerce. II was held to be
necessary to preserve the neutrality Of
the United States. Secretary Redheld
pointed out hat the plant was really
German owned that II was completed
since the war began that 1t communi-
Gates with points In Germany, and that
Gernan naval officers were kept sta
toned there.
The submarine situation undoubtedly
led to the action. 1t has been thought
for some time that the wireless plant
at Sayville has been communicating
with German submarines. giving them
Information regarding sailing OF vessels
from American ports on which the sub
marines might direct their movements,
and this OF course was n violation of
neutrality.
Capt. Billiard OF the naval radio work
was sent 10 take charge OF the Sayville
station. The effect of the order taking
over control of the plant will not change
the commercial status OF the station.

STAY AT SCHOOL

The schools of Welsh and throughout
the Parish we believe started this
week on the last half of the term. The
mid.term examinations have been held
and pupils generally reclassifed.
There is no interest of the Commun.

State of Louisiana stands last in the list
in the number of illIterates, the num-
Der of illiterateS in this State being
greater per thousand populatian than
in any other State in the union. While
there may be some externuating causes
Cor this state of facts yet the situation
should emphasize very strongly the
Importance of our public schools.
Every parent with children of school
age should see to it that their children
not only enter school but remain in
echool.
The spring season will soon be open
ing up and many parents will he
tempted to take the children from
school to assist on the farm. This is a
mistake. Parents Shonld make the
sacrifice and allow the child to remain
in school until the close of the term.

THE DACIA CASE

Some little diplomatic correSDon'
dence has been brought about within
the last week between this Govern
ment and Great Britain over what is
known as the Steamship Dacia Case,
and which has led to some discussion
of a strained relation between the two
countries,
This vessel formerly belonged to the
Hamburg American Line A German
steam Ship Company carrying the flag.
A transfer of the vessel was made to
an American owner, named Edward
Brietung and registry made under the
American flag. The vessel has loaded
with a Cargo of Cotton in Galve ton
destined for Germany. This Govern.
ment has requested Of I b e
English Government the privilege
TO carry the cargo without first
establishing a precedent as to the val
idity of the change of registry. The
English Government in its reply did
not find it possible to comply with the
request but indicated that if the vessel
sailed for beligerent port it would be
seized and thrown into a prize Court.
It is not contended that the cargo Is d
subject of prize Court, but the ,oA.
tention refer only to the vessel.
The English Government referring 10
the cargo makes two propositions,
either to take the cargo and pay the
price to the shippers which was origi'
Rally agreed by the German purchas'
ars OF TO transfer the cargo to another
vessel and deliver it to the German
port free of any additional expense.
The English view of the case is that
the transfer of ownership from Ger
man to American owners is not bona
flde but that Mr.. Brietung is only
nominal owner acting in reality for
German principals.
There is not likely to be any strained
relations between the two countries
even should the vessel be SieZed and
thrown into an English prize Court
for this Government has suf1ent doc
umentary evidence to establish the
validity of the transfer.

time that some one get busy?
Wouldn't /, q ell, at once to see your
local teacher, and through the teacher,
the country farm dem )nStratiOn agent,
and the county super ntendent of
schools to get the work underway?
As we conceive it, the mission Of the
boys club work is not merely the
making of 100 or 200 bushels of corn TO
the acre, but rather the installation of
knowledge, IDEAS and habits OF thought
that will eventually produce a better
farmer and 4 better citizen. Similarly,
canning a few tomatoes is far from
being the final aim Of the girls club
work; for here, too, it is the making Of
better, more adequately equipped
woman-a letter wife and a better
mother-that is the real aim.
With this conception of the work,
let us not place too high valuation on
the material prizes offered. These are
something, it is true; but the greatest
and most enduring prize of all comes to
the boy or the girl who works faithfully
and conscientionSly, and at the end o.
the year possesses knowledge and in.
spiraton tn It il after years will make
for better farms and better homes,
better men and better women.
