MAIL CENS0RING EXPLAINED BY
 GREAT BRITAIN
Tells How Tests Made Preparatory to Reply to Note from the
 United States.

WASHINGTON Aug. 2G.-An, ex- planatory statement of how Great Britain's examination of mails is be. ing conducted was presented today to Secretary Lansing by the British embassy. It is preparatory Co the more comprehensive reply to Amerl- can representations now being pre- pared jointly by the London and Par. is foreign office
 Figures given in the statement show the average time for examina- ton of interested mail is from one to three days
 Delay ls Mlnlmized
 "It is admitted" the statement says, "that at the outset, neutral correspondence in which enemy i'm. terests were in no way concerned was subjected to a delay which is greatly regretted and which has since been reduced to minimum.
 "It must not be imagined that the mails were removed from neutral ihips for examination without care. ml consideration of the arrangements which would be required to deal with them as quickly as possible. All preparations which seemed necessary were made with this object, but unfortunately those responsible for them were not aware of some of the difficulties which would be encoun tered.
 Peculiar cascs Cited
 "For instance, there was no req son to suppose that as proved by the case. that mail bags marked as dispatch from one neutral country Co another neutral country would contain nothing but mails for or from an enemy country; that bags repre- sented as containing printed matter would contain rubber. coffee iewelry etc.. sometimes disguised as news papers. as well as correspondence of an kinds. registered and unregis- tered, or that persons writing to or from enemy countries would already have adopted the practice of send ing their letters under cover Go in- termediaries in neutral countries. or that great numbers of complete sacks appearing to contain merely business circulars from neutral coun- tries would contain in reality nothing but propaganda from Germany un- der covers bearing neutral postage stamps"

ORGANIZATION OF BRIGHTOI
BAND.

After a lapse of many years the
town of Brighton again has a band
Seven weeks ago some twenty young
men of the town under the leader
ship of Mr.. Arthur F. Burbank, met
in the opera house and decided to
take up the study of music and form
band. Instruments were borrowed,
hired and bought and the ungraca-
full and inharmOnious rendering Of
grace notes and harmony began.
The members are grateful to the
owner of the opera house for the
use of the hall for the first few
nights practice, also to Messrs.
Sweeney and Cobb for the use Of the
room, with light in the Norcross
block, and lastly to the selectmen for
the use of the room in the opera
house block adjoining the fire de-
partment. In these places instruc-
ton has been received from Mr..
Burbank regularly two or three
nights of every week up to the pres
ent time.
On September 18th the Brighton
band was organized. F. E. Russell
was elected president and Wells F.
Morong was elected secretary-treas-
urer. Other members as follows
C. w. Kittredge, C. H. Mosher, Err.
Lindsay, T. C. Dale, 0. Lacroix,
Philip Bartlett, D. Lapointe, c. La
pointe, B. Annis, L. Maroney, l..
Curran, W. St.Pierre, VIM. Lefevbre,
H. Turgeon, A. j. Seymour, James
Samson, J. T. Merrill, A. Parent, Jr.
Rodney Russell, M. Smith, John
Dickson, Owen Riley.
Owing to Mr.. Burbank's leaving
town to take up his regular musical
profession with Mrs. Burbank on the
Pacific coast for the winter, the SER
vices of Mr.. George L. Dyer have
been secured to direct the band in
his absence.
Last Thursday evening in the OPP
era house the band gave an open
rehearsal that mothers, wives, and
sweethearts" might have a chance
to hear for themselves the wonder
full progress 'the boys" had made,
and wonderful it proved to be, show
ing great credit to the persistency
Of the young musicians and the
patient, untiring instruction Of Mr..
Burbank. After an hours practice
Of scales, a short business session
was held in which the following per
sons were elected honorary members:
Arthur F. Burbank, Maude Danforth
Burbank, George L. Dyer, Malcolm 7.
Sadleir, Frank E. Russell, Luther H.

lowing this Mr.. Morong represent
ing members of the band, requested
the leader, Mr.. Burbank, to surren-
der his weapon, a whitfield out
stick for beating time, and immedi-
ately presented him with an ebony,
silver tipped baton. Great applause
greeted Mr.. Burbank's extreme sur
prise and his smiling acceptance of
the gift. Mr.. Burbank urged the
members af the band to stick to-
gether during the winter, and as
sured the audience that Brighton
would be proud of its band another
summer. The older band members
and Mr.. and Mrs. Burbank played a
few selections, and the open re-
hearsal was pronounced a marked
success.

What Farming Offers.

This is what the president of
one of Americas leading universe
ties has to say about the opportuni-
ties for pleasure and profit III farm
ing.
Unless a boy has a deep-sea' i
preference for some other probes
sion, it does not seen to me wise
for him to ignore the great oppor-
tunities that agriculture Offers,
whether he was born in the couu-
try or in the city.
In my opinion, no other occu-
patton offers so rich rewards, all
things considered as agriculture
offers to those who are willing to
train themselves for it as earnestly
and iutelligently as they would
train themselves for law or medi-
cine.
IF boy will put the same
amount of time and study into his
training for agriculture that he
would put into his training for law
or medicine, he will i'll the greater
majority of cases make more money
enjoy greater freedom, better
health, and develop stronger cha
racter.
