MoEwE SLIPS BY BRITISH.

Berlin.-A sort of enthusiasm, such
as has beer euualled only in the case
Of the famous Emden, greeted an an
nouncement by the Admiralty that the
now equally famous Moewe, the Ger
man raider which since h beginning
of the year has held mysterious sway
on the high seas, notably in the MID
Atlantic, had arrived "in a home port
She brought with her, according to the
announcement, 1000, 900 marks in gold
bars (s25O. OO0), and 402 prisoners TAX
en- from a total number Of Is Allied
v~essels-with the exception OF one
French and one Belgian all British
aggregating a tonnage of nearly 10000.
OF these Is vessels, the majority
we're sunk, the Admiralty says, while
"a small part were sent as prizes to
neutral ports"
The Moewe, according to the state
ment, not only wrought havoc on Al
lied maritime commerce by sinking or
capturing nearly everything that came
into its path, but was also engaged on
her successful cruise lasting several
months" in sowing mines along what
is described as 1.-The enemy coast" 1t
was one of the Moewe's mines, the
Admiralty AYERS, which caused the
sinking on Jan. 9, last, of the British
peterborough Edward VII, from
which everyone of the TT men aboard
was saved by British rescue vessels.
Tho fCnOnnn nortv into which tho
German raider finally brought her
prisoners and booty is not designated
by the Admiralty, nor is it believed
that hat it will be made known. This
leads to the belief here that other
raiders are expected to return from
lieve the port in question may be the
base for a number of similar enter
prises.
The theory that the Moewe is a war
ship is dispelled by the official an
nouncement through the fact that il
is not designated as an IS. M. S." but
simply as "the Moewe." The comman
der is Count and Burggraf zup Donna
Schledien, a Captain Lieutenant in the
Imperial Navy.
In order to reach "a home port" the
Moewe must have covered a distance
on her home journey of between 1.50(
and 1000 miles.
Near Dvinsk the Russian lines have
been bombarded with shells weigh
ing $50 pounds.
In Galicia, on the middle Strips
front. two attempts by the German:
to approach the Russian trenches were
repulsed with big losses.

A Little Too Late to Bank.

By practicing the utmost frugality,
lgnatz Kruepner, a local laborer,
saved $3.50, which he boarded in a
trunk at his home. Last week he de-

in a bank and got a half day off from

For Amateur Boxing.

The House passed Assemblyman
Dugan's bill permitting amateur box
ing bouts under the sanction and di-
rection of the American Athletic I'm
ion. Mr.. Dugan was careful to ex-
plain that his bill should not be con
fused with the usual measure, familiar
for several years, to permit boxing
bouts by professionals. Mr.. Barra-
dale, of Essex, said the measure was
desired by the city of Newark to
make the great two-hundred and ff-
tieth anniversary exposition of that
city a success next summer.
Would it not be possible to make
it a success without boxing?" asked
Mr.. Hammond, of Mercer.
at might be-" replied Mr.. Barra-
dale, "but in the Olympian games
the city proposes to have as part of
the program of the celebration boxing
amateurs are to be a necessary part"
The House passed A%ssemblyman
Godfrey's bill taking from the boards
of commissioners in cities the power
to increase or decrease their num-
bers. Mr.. Godfrey said that this
strange power had been given them
under the original Walsh act, but was
later repealed, and then, by some over
sight in the passage of another bill,
had been restored. 1t also passed
Senator Aliens bill giving to the
farmers and shippers better regula-
tons for the tests of milk and cream.
The senators passed the Godfrey
bill to extend the term of General
Lewis T. Bryant as Commissioner of
Labor over the term of Governor
Fielder. This is the same bill that
passed last year and which met with
Governor FEEDERS vote.
Senator Edge, of Atlantic, led the
fight for the bill, and said that in
the case of General Bryant the
unique situation was presented of cap
ital and labor being for the same

voted for the bill, felt obliged to ex-
plain his vote, saying that General

Listen, girls! If you know the MIC

has not yet asked the question just re-
member it is leap year and propose to
him.
This is the course advised by Miss

fragist and lawyer.
But-don't propose unless you are
sure he will accept, even though it is
leap year. And-this is most import
ant7rbe absolutely sure about his COM
mereial rating.
"0f course, girls should propose, "
said Miss Pugh. "All girls must look
out for the future. The great trouble
we lawyers find is that women are
too impulsive with their affections.
Look at the great number of women

GROWTH OF MISSIONS
midas Social Conscience Awake
as Shown By Results.

India'S social conscience is awake.
Societies for social work and study
have been organized, and several con-
ferences have recently been held.
Every one of these gatherings dis
cusses the education and elevation of
women, the condition of depressed
classes and the evils of caste. The
native states of Travancofe, Bardoa
and Mysore now make primary edu-
cation compulsory, and sTEsvancore
has refused to establish separate
school for low castles.
During the year 1890 the circuta-
ton of the Scriptures in Siam totaIed
9,265. During 1914 the total was l72, =
$780, which is nearly twenty times the
total of 1890, and almost double the
circulation of two years previous.
The increase for the past year
to 1873.

ing at the bank it will draw interest
at the rate of three per cent and will
finally represent a considerably in
creased amount over the original
deposit
This money will be deposited in the
Savings Department on a regular saw
ings account, and the account may be
added to, or drawn upon at will,
though, of course, the premium sums
are not to be encroached upon.
The bank hasn't made any further
announcement than for 1916 but have
intimated that if the proposition is ac-
cepted by the boys in sufficient num-
bers and spirit to make it worth while,
they may continue it indefinitely. If
they do this boy stands a chance to
win year after year and when he
reaches the age of twenty-one to have
tidy sum coming to him. If the
proposition is continued in the future
any boy in the county, whether he has
ever won a prize before or not, will
be eligible to compete.
This offer is expected to create
much greater interest among the boys
corn clubs of the county. 1t means
much to the boys in addition to finan-
cial gain, for such a contest will slim
ulate each boy to put forth his best
efforts, which in turn will be of ines
Unable value in teaching him the
most approved methods of agriculture
and at the same time he will be ac-
curing business knowledge too.

First National Bank
Offers Prizes For Boys
$500 For The Youthful Corn Growers
of Christian County.
Awards to be Made on Certificates of
Agricultural Casey---DetaiIs
For The Plan.

The First National Bank of Hop
hnsville, KY, in order to show its in
terest in agricultural affairs and es-
pecially to encourage the boys to
further endeavor, has offered 500 in
prizes which will be distributed
among the boy corn growers of the
county during 1915.
This money is divided up into forty
prizes of S. each and it will be award
ed to the forty boys of the county who
make the best records in their corn
growing operations during the COM
ing summer. In growing the corn
the boys are to follow the instructions
of County Agricultural Casey and the
awards will be made on certificates
made by Mr.. Casey.
An unusual feature of this award is
that the yield plays an unimportant
part in the matter, as the awards will
be made for the best general records
which are made. The boy who fol-
lows the county agents instructions
most implicitly and who reports his
various operations most completely
will win over the boy who may have
produced little more corn yet who
didn't do these other things so well.
The verdict of the county agent will
be the sole authority upon which the
prizes will be awarded.
The money will not be paid in cash
at the time of the award but will be
placed to the boys credit at the bank
and left there until he is twenty-one
years of age. But while it is remain

PUBLIC health
Report of The Secretary of
The Treasury.

The annual report of the Secretary
Of the Treasury as it relates to the
Public Health Service contains num-
erous recommendations bearing on
interest of this department in the ex-
tension and expansion of the govern
mental agencies for the protection of
the public health.
In the development of general pub
lie health work, according to the
Secretary, there is great need of adj
ditiOnal officers. The number of re-
quests for advice and assistance in
health problems received from states
and municipalities during the past
year has far exceeded that any similar
period in the history of the Service,
but the limited number of officers
available for the work has prevented
in many instances compliance with
these requests.
The field investigations, the Secre-
tary states, have served as stimulus
to state and local health agencies, and
every effort should therefore be
made to encourage and turn to prac-
teal account the interest in health
matters awakened in the general pub
lie. For this reason an increase in
the appropriation for the field work
is requested.
An additional building for the
Hygienic Laboratory is urgently
needed. The work of this institution
has been greatly extended, particu-
larly as it relates to the examination
OF vlruseS, serums and analogous
products, a vast market for which has
been recently created abroad. The
safeguards OF these therapeutic agents
requires great accuracy and precision
and overcrowding is a serious handi-
cap. In order that the public health
may be better protected, an annual an
of $25, OOOis recommend
to be expended in carrying out the
provisions of the law relating to the
examination of these products.
The United States is the only gov
eminent of importance which does
not provide for the care and isolation
of lepers. The establishment of a
national leprosarium where the nu-
merouS lepers, most of whom are
native born Americans, may be prop
erly segregated and treated, thereby
eliminating a menace to the health of
others, is urged.
The further recommendation of
the Secretary relate to the need ofad-
ditional clerical assistance in order to
meet the demands which are increas-
ingly made on the Public Health
Bureau.

RUMANIAN FRIEND
SHIP FOR FRANCE.

Whether the modern Rumanians
are, indeed, the sons of Trajan' 5
legionaries, is exceedingly doubtful.
But after all, the truth or falsity of
this theory does not make much ac-
tual difference. In these race ques-
tons the essential point for practical
politics is not what people really are,
but what they think they are. The
Rumanians think they are Latins;
so passionately;-and one of the prac-
teal consequences of this conviction
is positive veneration for France as
the head of Latin civilization. OF
course this Francophilism hardly
reaches down to the peasant masses,
but Rumanian upper-class life is con-
sciously modelled on French life,
Rumanian literature upon French lit
erature, and educated Rumanians
usually speak French almost as well
as they do their mother tongue. The
stranger in Bucharest might fire.
quently believe himself in Paris.
During the last few decades, it is true,
an increasing number of Rumanian
have gone to Germany
for their education instead Of, as for
merly, exclusively to France; and
these men are to-day pro-German.
But they are a decided minority.
