From all the outlying country dis
tricts there came Friday reports Of
damage caused by the terrifying cleo
trical storm that ragged over this sec
ton of the state Thursday afternoon.
In the Elliott station and Arlington
territory the storm seemed to reach
us greatest violence, the worst fea-
ture being the hail, which broke hun
dreds of panes of glass some reports
say thousands. In this section Fri
day morning the ground was strewn
with dead birds, broken limbs and
much other debris and garden crops
We're in many cases absolutely ruined
Splendid fields OF grass that stood
waist high before the storm were lev
eled to the earth. A number of farm
ers reported cows, calves and kittens
Killed in the storm and many stories
came in OF persons who were so ter
rlned- that they fell fainting and were
restored to consciousness with difficult
ty. In many homes the electricity
followed in on wires, burning out
lighting systems and causing other
damage. Hundreds of telephones were
put out of commission.
Henry Stone and John Baker. who
live in the Elliott section, We're in
DanlelsOn Friday morning buying
window glass to replace the scores Of
paneS that were broken out of their
homes by the hail. Mr. Stone said
that never in his life has he expert
enced such a storm of hail as swept
over that section, and what he said
was seconded by Mr.. Baker.
Mr.. Stone said that hail stones, by
actual measurement six inches in cir
cumference, fell in a binding shower
over the section where he lives. His
garden was literally stripped of every
growing thing, nothing but parts of
stems of tomato plants, beans and po-
tatoes remaining. Practically every
light of glass on the northerly and
westerly sides of his home was smash
ed out by the giant hail stones that
pelted through the glass as though it
were no more than tissue paper
The storm at Mr.. Bakers place was
much the same. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker
were driven from rooms they were oc-
cupying on the northerly side Of the

LAPS MASTERING GERMAN ISLANDS
 IN SOUTH SEAS
Extensive. Propaganda. to Bind Acquisitions to Nip
 ponese Empire.

Tokio, Aug 12-Government off, cials recently returned from the Ger man South Sea Islands which were oc- cupied by Japan after outbreak of the European war report that Japanese administration has been widely 'ex- tended and that primary schools have been established in seven of the largest islands. The archipelago which is now ruled by Japan includes islands in the groups known as Marianne, Caro- line and Marshall.
 The native children are taught the Japanese language, arithmetic, sing ing and sewing. It is proposed to send a party of sixty leading natives to Japan during the summer or autumn. A regular line of:steamers maintains communication with Japan while Ja- panese sailing vessels and launches run between the various islands. The actual disposition of the.islands Is to be decided at the peace conference which will follow the present war.
 MT. Kazuyoshi Yagyu, ex-president of the Bank of Formosa, insists that successful Japanese commercial expan- sion to the South is greatly dependent on successful cooperation with Chi nese emigrants in the South Seas who number about 4,000,000, and they are increased by an exodus of 300,000 from South China every year.
 MT. Yagyu says the Chinese emil grants are hard workers and very prosperous, some of them having amassed large fortunes. They carry on a brisk trade with South China and the prosperity of such places as Annoy and Swatow is doubtless largely due to remittances from emigrants which reach $50,000,000 year. He recom- mended the establishment of an in- creased number of banking houses un- der joint Japanese and Chinese man. agement to be located at trade centers in the South Seas and Singapore.
 Commenting on the situation after the war, the financier said: "If eco homie warfare be solely determined by the amount of capital, Japan has no chance against most of the European powers. We need not, however, be pessimistic of our trade prospects, as there are other factors to be taken into consideration. In the probable economic rivalry in the Far East or in the South Seas, Japan commands geo. graphical as we'll as other advantages over her rivals. As regards Chinese trade, Westerners employ compradors; but, on the contrary, Japanese traders dispense with such intermediates, coming themselves into direct contact with the Chinese. Besides, we have many things in common with the rest of the Oriental nations, which will count for much in competition with western countries"

Centenary of Gneist,
 Instructor of Kaiser

Although Germans are much given to the observance of anniversaries, it is unlikely that the centenary of Ru- dolph von Gneist, which falls on this Sunday, will be marked by any cele- bration. One of the greatest jurists Of the nineteenth century, and dur ing his life almost universally admir- ed, his works offend the Teuton sen- abilities because of the fact that he so frequently held up England as a governmental model for the Germans to follow. In his younger days Ru- dolph von Gneist was one of the in- structors appointed by Emperor Will liam I. to look after the education or his grandson, Prince William, now William IT,, Emperor of Germany It Is to be doubted if Gneist made any
 profound impression upon the mind of the young prince intrusted to his
 care, for from his boyhood the present Kaiser was inclined toward autocracy
 in government and inclined toward militarism, while Gneist was to a considerable degree democratic in his sympathies and had little fondness for war and its ways.
 Gneist was born in Berlin on Aug.
 13, 1916, and died in his native city twenty years ago. He studied juris- prudence in Berlin and held several minor court positions prior to 1850, when he resigned as assistant judge of the superior tribunal in order to devote his entire time teaching law. His fame in thiss field led the first Emperor William to appoint him fn- structor in law and jurisprudence to his grandson. For many years-from 1867 to 1884-Gneist was a member of the Prussian lower house, and he also sat in the imperial parliament for brief period. and was senior judge of the supreme court of Prus- sia and member of the privy coun- ell. In the Prussian Chamber of Deputies he acted with the National Liberals. and was a consistent advo- cate of greater amount of seIf-gov- ernment for the people. He fathered many movements for the betterment of the conditions surrounding the workers, and paid much attention to the reform of the judicial and penal systems. In his appeals for the adop- ton of more liberal measures he of- ten held up England as an example to be emulated. His books deal chief ly with constitutional law in England and Germany, with subjects of a poli- tico-historical nature, anc with cur rent questions of practical politics in Germany. He was ennobled by his former pupil, William IT., soon after the latter's accession to the throne in 1888. Gneist's most famous work bears the title of "Das Heutige Eng lfsche Verfassungs and Verwa1tungs- recht' and was published nearly half a century ago. Others of his later works bear the titles of "Englische Self-Government," and "Englische Verfassungsgeschic

CzAREvITCH
 IS 12 TODAY

Czarevitch Alexis Nico1aivitch, only son of the Czar and the heir to the Russian throne. passes his twelfth milestone today Many and conflict Ing are the reports that reach the outside world as to the physical and mental status of the young Czarevitch. A few years ago it was stated that he was hopeless cripple, that he had been seriously maimed by nihilists, that he had tuberculosis of the hip joint, and also that he suffered from homophi1ia, disease characterized by excessive bleeding from the slight est wound.s. Since the war began all of these reports have been both con- firmed and denied. Petrograd reports now picture him as healthy, viva cious and intelligent youth. filled with military ardor, and immensely proud of the officers uniform which he wears. It is said that gymnastic exer- cfses have developed his physique to the point where he can undergo difi- cult military drills. According to these reports. he is being made into a thorough soldier, and already shows a remarkable grasp of military problems for one of his years. He is pictured as accompanying his mother and sis ters to the hospital where they act as nurses, and as inspiring by his pres ence the wounded and sick soldiers of the Czar. He is also depicted as drill- ing with the sons of non-commission- ed officers and ,privates, ,associating with them on terms of equality. It is said he never tires of hearing tales of deeds of valor performed by Russian soldiers, and delights in reading about the legendary heroes of Russia. The Czarevitch is being taught French, English and Italian, but that German, which was formerly a part of his curriculum, has now been dropped. In short, Russian reports would indicate that Alexis is just plain boys,' and not the mutilated and crippled unfor- tunate that rumor has pictured

is frequent cause of dispute. It is often of obscure origin, and the ques- ton often arises whether or not it oc- cured through something which arose in the employment.
 Doctors bills have made no end of trouble. the main reason being that
 the physicians respond to the em- ploye's call without notifying the em-
 ployer that they are looking to him for their fees
 Throughout the book there is ample citation to authorities, both the de- cisions of our own State and the de- cisions of courts of last resort, and commissioners rulings of other States. While the book has been published by the State, it is not distributed gra- tuitously, as in the case of the annual report of the commission and many other State documents, but is sold from the office of the Secretary of the State. who has sent a supply of copies to the different, commissioners for dis tribution in that manner.
 It is believed that the publication is the most complete volume of this kind ever issued, as it will probably be impossible to find in any other State single book which gives for several years the decisions of all the courts and of the commissioners upon an important subject of this kind. The work is being generally circulated, not only among lawyers but insur- ance companies, employers and em- ployees.
 The book has 732 closely printed pages. It shows in every case the memorandum of the judge or com missioner, except in the cases of ap- peals and reservations to the supreme court of errors as in those cases, the reports are made in the Atlantic Re- porter and in the Connecticut reports. A list of cases indexed by employers and employees, and an index of the points decided, the latter covering nearly 20 pages conclude the volume
