Hold Men 40 Never Before.
Secretary Daniels declares the navy
is holding It's men as never before. IN
all three Of the fleets, Atlantic. Pacinc
and Asiatic in a period OF one month
only ninety assertions occurred.
In some. quarters, the educational
plan Of Secretary Daniels has been
heartily derided. The view OF some Is
that one of the chief reasons why re-
cruiting is easy is that this is time
Of world excitement, there is friction
with Mexico, the feet may go thru
the canal to San Francisco, and there
is unusual attraction for young men
who are adventurous. 1t is pointed out
that at times of excitement 1t is always
easier to enlist and keep men In the
navy than at other times. This, how
ever, is not the view Of Secretary
Daniels, as is indicated by his remarks
just quoted.

JAPAN GAINS POINTS.
Five Articles Acknowledging Control
of Socth Manchuria Initiated.

Picking, March "a - Five articles
bearing on the Japanese demands upon
China were initiated as concluded by
the Chinese foreign minister, Lu Cheng
Hsang. and Eki Hioki, the Japanese
minister, at the conference which was
held at the Japanese legation yester-
day.
The Japanese minister recently suf-
fered slight injuries by fall from
horse, and his condition did not permit
him to go to the Chinese foreign office.
For this rea son the meeting was trans.
ferred to the legation
All the articles concern Manchuria
China agreed to the following stipula-
tons:
First-The Japanese governments
consent shall be obtained before loan
is made with third power involving
the pledging of local taxes in south
Manchuria.
Second-The Japanese governments
consent shall be obtained whenever
permission is granted to a subject Of
! third power to build q railway, or when
loan is made with third power for
the building of railway In south
Manchuria.
Third-If the Chinese government in
| instructors for political, financial, or
military purposes, the Japanese gov
eminent shall first be consulted.
| Fourth-The transfer Of the Kirin-
Changshun railway to Japanese con-
troll for ninety nine years.
The fifth article was proposed by
China and provides for the continuance
Of such treaties as are not affected by
! the present treaty.
The japanese have conceded the
point of a separate discussion regard
! ing East Mongolia and South Man
churia, which were combined in their
list of demands.
! IN the Manchuria group the immi-
| grafton and land ownership clauses
have not yet been settled, but definite
| progress has been made. This is the
case also with respect to the mining

The Japanese government has def
nitely withdrawn what is known as

namely: The demand for a joint police
administration of important places
thruout China and also has indicated

Especial Correspondence

Washington, March 24.-"Desertions
in the navy are decreasing wonder
fully. Re enlistmen1s-aud think that
is a point of special lmportance-are
increasing. Recruits are being attracted
to the service"
This was the statement of Secretary
Of the Navy Daniels today when asked
concerning the data which has lately
enanated from the department on the
subject OF desertion.
ITO what do I attribute this i'm
proved condition of things? I at
tribute it largely TO the new educa-
tionai and promotion policy We have
made it more easy for the enlisted men
of the navy to secure promotions than
ever before. Thirteen Of the men have
been promoted to the pay corps.
Twelve have been made ensgns. Fiji
teen of the enlisted men have been sent
to Annapolis. Moreover, the men of the
navy are now offered excellent educa-
tional advantages. BY education l do
not simply mean reading, writing,
arithmetic and geography but more
than this-an all around training. I'm
der the present arrangement, men are
kept at the training stations for six
months. The fathers and mothers of
boys, when it comes 70 consenting to
their enlistment, are influenced by the
thought that these boys will go to
school. The fact that an enlisted man
knows there is opportunity for him to
rise to a commission improves the
spirit of the enlisted personnel greatly"
Punishment Method Changed.
Further than this, Secretary Daniels
believes a great Improvement has been
wrought in the service by the change
in the method of punishment for de-
sertion. This is involved in general or
der No. 10 and certain changes in
naval regulations which went into OPP
GRAFTON at the same time. Secretary
Daniels outlined the new plan recently
to the house naval committee. He eX-
planned that by means Of these
changes, If man tires of he service at
the present time, methods by which
he can obtain his discharge by honor
able means are facilitated.
"A large percentage Of those men
who leave the service without permis-
sion and subsequently surrender to
naval authority" said the secretary,
ARE either placed on probation. where
honorable discharge, or summarily dis
charged with a bad conduct discharge.

This plan is working well, according

PARK BEAR ATTACKS MAN.
Breaks Arm Of State Taxidermist and
PAYS Penalty With Life.

Des Mones. March 24.-Joseph Step
pan, state taxidermist, sustained a
broken arm yesterday in narrow es-
cape from death when he was attacked
by a savage black bear at Grandview
park. With the intention of mounting
the bear in the state museum at the
Historical library, stephan twice shot
the animal which was confined in the
cage at the park with a revolver
The huge beast upon receiving the
second charge went down in heap.
The taxidermist thinking him dead
went into the cage and was about to
place a hand upon the "critter' when
suddenly and without warning the
wounded and furious animal sprang up
and made for stephan. The taxider-
mist fled precipitately
The fleeing man succeeded in es-

wounds, retired to the innermost re-
cesses of his cave and refused to show
himself. Earl Butler, local sports
man, was reached by telephone and
consented to kill the bear.
When Mr.. Butler reached the scene,
he found Mr. Bear so far hidden in the
darkness that it was impossible to get
a shot at him.
Get me a mirror" exclaimed the
hunter after moments thought.
BY the aid of the mirror, the light
was reflected into the den in such a
way as to give a perfect picture Of the
animals head.

PUTS STOCKINGS ON DANCERS.
Boston's Mayor stirs Up Wrath OF
Amateur Barefoot Society Dancers.

Stockings were worn by the young
society women at the 1915 dance carni-
val at the Cort Theater, which was
held for the benefit Of the suffrage
campaign fund. 1t never has been
customary to wear stockings in Greek
nterpretative dances, but Mayor Cur
ley smashed the custom. He believes
that bare feet are shocking to public
morals and insists that they must be
hidden in hosiery. Advocates of artis-
tic dancing are indignant at the may
or's latest censorship.
Bare feet are as innocent as bare
hands or bare faces" said LifafV. Wy
man, many of whose pupils appeared in
the festival. THE mayor interferes
with a work of art and says nothing
about the nasty, suggestive jokes that
are used in musical comedies in some
Of our most respectable theaters. 1t
is time that people begin to do some-
thing to secure free art in Boston.
I'm some OF the reviews and fol-
lies the girls of the chorus have worn
short stockings and left their legs
bare. That was not art, and it was not
interfered with. In some plays vile
lines have been read without protest.
But when an artistic audience is Of
fered an honest art work by persons
who are not professional dancers eX-
plotting cheap sentiment. the perform
ance is banned. The purpose does not
count with the mayor.
4 "The mayor must have been shocked
when he read that President Wilson's
niece. Margaret Vale, danced in st.
Patrick's day celebration in New York
without stockings. She portrayed The
Spirit Of Ireland in bare feet. But in
Boston the spirit of Greece must go
shod. "-Philadelphia Record.

ports of the appearance of Hessian fly

vance came largely as the result OF
covering by local shorts and at the
end Of the day prices were Is OK
cents lower than yesterday. The buy
ing OF MAY wheat By cash houses Was
Of liberal volume and their purchases
were also at times a considerable fac
tor in the July. Total export sales re-
ported were 100000 bushels, about
half Of which was to Holland and the
bulk Of the remainder to the United
Kingdom. Most of the sales were Of
spring wheat.
Corn-Corn followed the course OF
wheat but the range was not great.
The selling was mostly local and the
buying was credited to one of the
larger warehouse interests and to scat
tered commission house trade. Cash
demand here was slow and Kansas City
and Omaha reported fair quantities
sold. Primary shipments were we'll in
excess OF receipts while last year the
ness were said to pe out Of line.
Oats-Thruout most of the day oats
were strong on buying by brokers who
usually act for exporters. a little SELL
ing late in the day caused net de-
cline Of n to II cent. Local shipping
sales were 10000 bushels, half Of
which were sold to seaboard- Con-
tinued heavy primary receipts are dis
co,,ra piu1 fo holders bl1t are offset by

statistics and slow cash demand caused
further selling and lower prices in
provisions. There was enough demand
from scattered commission house
ira ders and shorts to absorb packers

was only shade lower than last night

Prices Decline in Sympathy With
Wheat-Oats Also Influenced by
Weakness of Othsr Grain.

Chicago, March 24.-Wheat prices
underwent q setback today because the
Liverpool market failed to respond to
yesterdays strength in America. There
was much speculation on the theory
that selling had eliminated the short
interests. Some attention was given
reports that the British government
had seized all wheat in India. After
opening 4 to u cent down, the mar
ket rallied somewhat, but then sagged
lower than before.
Signs that large cash sales had been
made at the seaboard led afterWard to
a quick upturn, which was given fur
Their impetus by Kansas reports or
damage from Hessian fly. The close,
nevertheless, was weak, at Is to IA
cents under last night.
Corn.
Corn went down with wheat The
opening, which varied from * to a
and y cent off, was followed by a
moderate further decline.
Later the market hardened with
wheat. The close, however, was weak,
at q to " net decline.
Oats.
Oats turned easy with other grain,
but the downward tendency was less
pronounced than in wheat and corn. The
bears were cautious as result of re-
ports Of delayed seeding.
Provisions
Large receipts of hogs turnout the
west acted as weight on provisions.
Selling, tho, was not Of unusual vol
