Mansfield.-The resolve of a group
OF men Of Butler, a village in the

to spend their Sunday afternoons
at Sunday school instead of sit

The poker players, numbering at

38 TEUTONS FREED
BRITISH RELEASE MEN SEIZED
FROM AMERICAN STEAMER
CHINA ON FEB. is.
HELD SOME PLACE IN ORIENT
England LIberatss Germans Following
Demand Made by U. s.-Wronsful
Action to BE Admitted In This Par
tleuIar Case.

London, May S.-The British gov
ernment has decided to release i'm
mediately the 3S Germans and Aus
trians who were taken from the Amer
ican steamship China.
The action of the British authorities
in ordering the release of the seized
passengers on the China was not I'M
expected, as It was known that the
last American demand declined to ad-
NIT any form of legality in the reasons
given by the foreign Office for their de-
tentiOn.
The formal document in reply to the
final American notes on the subject is
not yet in readiness, lbut according to
Lord Robert Cecil. minister Of war
it will be carefully framed so as not to
admit the general right Of belligerents
to enjoy the protection of a neutral
flag.
In the present case, Great Britain
admits itself in the wrong in regard tc
the facts outlined in the American re
monstrance, but the reply will bt
couched in such terms that no genera
precedent is established, and British
doctrines in regard to the seizure o.
individuals of hostile nationality OF
board neutral ships will be safe
guarded.
The state department at Washing
ton has contended that the facts II
the case are similar to those of thu
famous Trent affair, but while it Il
not known what attitude the British
reply will adopt toward this argument
Lord Robert Cecil gives 1t as his per
sonal opinion that the two cases pre-
sent wide differences.
The prisoners are held at som
place in the Orient.
The Germans and Austrians wer
removed from the China by the Brit
ish auxiliary cruiser Laurentic Fet
ruary 10, while the China was en- rout
from Shanghai to San Francisco. Tn
United States requested Great Britai
to release these men and, being me
with a declination, sent secon
note.
The British authorities charge
that the 38 men we're concerned /

Retnrn to EIlnt and steeI.

On account of the steady increase in
the price of matches, flint rocks and
steel are being sold in large quantities
at Soochow, in the Shanghai consular
district, according to Consul General
Sammons. A large number Of shops
are now selling these substitutes for
matches, and many peddlers are also
making living disposing of these ar
ticles in and about the district. This
business has been so successful that
some of the Chinese retail dealers be.
lieve that in due course, flint and
steel may ultimately supersede match
es, particularly SO long as most of the
products of this kind are imported
from abroad The imports of matches
into China decreased from $4,7OO,OOO
in 1918 to $3,3OO,OOO in 1914, Japan
furnishing approximately rs per cent
of this supply.

TRAFFIC ON LAKES
LOOMS VERY LARGE
Total Business Estimated for
Year at $1,250, 900, 900;
New Boats Building

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cleyeland.-General prosperity IN
the United States is to set a mark for
traffic on the great lakes this season
never before approached.
The estimated total value OF the
traffic this year will be $3.50. .0OO. 900,
as against the record mark Of $780,
0OO, 900 last year, an increase Of $780,
OOO, 900.
The great lakes feet Of 500 freight
ers, Of which so per cent are managed
in Cleveland, will be taxed to capacity
to handle the tremendous shipments
Of commodities OF all sorts.
These facts were shown in the fol-
lowing figures, compiled by George
Marr, secretary of the Lake Carriers
association, comparing the estimated
total lake trsfhc for 1916 in the six
main items with the tonnage for last
years:
1915 1915
Iron ore
55,OOO,OOO tons 47,5OO,OOO tons
Coal
sS,OOO,OOO tons 2s,OOO,OOO tons
Grain
$4,000. 900 tons 5000, 900 tons
(4SO, 900, 900 bu.) (31O,OOO.OOO bu)
Lumber
$4,000, 900 feet $4,000, 900 feet
Flour
20,000,O00 bbls. 15,00O,000 bbls.
General merchandise
2,OO0,OOO tons 1896, 900 tons
The merchandise tonnage is only
that shipped through the 500; the
other estimates are for total traffic
based on orders already taken.
But the freight traffic is not alone
in this remarkable showing. The pas
senger traffic shows as great de-
velopment and growth as does the
freight traffic, government statistics
showing that during the past Is years
100,O00,O00 passengers were carried
while last year had record of %,
000,000 for one season alone. TC
