GIRL MISSIONARY TELLS 0f ESCAPE
 FROM CANNIbALS
Miss Marie Sackow and
 Three Companions Res cued by U. $. Jackies.
. , <"'r. .IsT/' Sl-Ery:.-

New York, Feb. 19.-A tale of can Eibalisin in Africa was brought 10 this city by Miss Marie Sackow Of Newton, Kan, when she returned home after spending three years as missionary in Liberia. The United her and three other American mis- slenarlcs. Miss Sackow said:
 "I was stationed at Jacktown, Liberia. which is 20 miles from Greenville on the seacoast with the Rev. and Mrs. wilbur Williams and Miss Freda Roberts. The natives are cannibals who roast and devour the arms and limbs of the enemies they slay in battle.
 "The trouble started last August through the British and French resi- dents in Liberia, trying to get the natives to cust the Germans, because is was believed they had a supply base for submarines Somewhere along the coast. In October the Bril- ish warships cut off the food supply from Liberia to bring pressure 70 bear on the natives, and that started rlcts all over the country.
 Early in December the situation In Jacktown became very acute ana the cannibals burned up the houses of the native Christians and devoured the inmates E<Seir customary man ner. It is a well-known fact in the Jacktown section that the natives prefer the flesh of white persons to that of negroes, but no white persons had been injured in the uprising to the time when I left the country on December 23. T
 "The men lost all the traits of civilization that had been taugh. them by the missionaries and re- verted to their former wild ways. At night we could see the houses burn ing from the roof on the Methodist mission and hear the yells of the cannibals as they danced around the burning buildings.
 "One night the Rev. Wilbur Will Hams went Cut and addressed a crowd of natives, begging them to stop fighting and burning the homes of their fellow countrymen and re- turn to their huts in the outskirts of JacktOwn. While he was speaking one of the natives threw a piece of ccral rock at MT. Williams, which laid him out flat. He was rescued by a part of his audience, who car ried him to the mission upon lit ter. Things became so serious that We had to leave Jacktown and go to Greenville, with the idea of getting a boat to carry us to Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, with the native servants from the mission. eG
 "On our arrival there we found it Was impossible 10 get off from the shore because the natives threw rocks at any small boats leaving the Leach and sunk them. News of the revclt had been sent by native run ners to Monrcvia to the United States consul. and to our great joy we saw the scout cruiser Chester steam into the bay and drop anchor, Shortly afterward she landed 200 native sofs diers, who started for Jacktown to put an end < to the rioting of the cannibals, and the next day we went OF boaN and left for Monrovia.'

thes SC were caused by cigarette sn1ok- ing.
 In 1897, pr. Seaver, of Yale uni the matter He found that out Of every 100 students who ranked highest, were smokers, and 95 did not smoke.
 At Harvard university during the past 50 years, no habitual user Of tobacco ever graduated at the head of his class.
 Chief Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court, said:
 "No cigarette smoker can attain the highest position in the world.'
 In 1910, Dr. Meylan of Columbia university made a study of the stu dents that used tobacco. He came to the following conclusions.
 1. "All scientists are agreed that the use of tobacco by adolescents is injurious
 2. "lt has been shown conclusive ly by this study that the use of to- bacco by college students is closely associated with idleness, lack of am- bition. and low scholarship"
 Statistics also show that the habitu- al use of the cigarette effects boy morally. pr. Hutchinson, of the Kansas state reformatory, says:
 "The use of the cigarette is the cause of the downfall of more of the inmates of this institution than all other vicious. habits combined.'
 The Illinois state reformatory re- ceived 4.117 boys, 4,00O had the to- bacco habit. and over 5000 of these smoked cigarettes.
 The commercial world today is pay , ing more attention to the habitual , smoker than ever before. Insurance Companies reject men wh0 show signs of excessive use of tobacco
 Smokers Not Wanted.
 The Interborough Rapid Transit company of New York City rejects ap- plicants for motormen and conduc- tors flor excessive Or long-continued use of tobacco"
 The Reading railroad, New york divisicn. prohibits cigarette smoking by employees. It says: r "Men who smoke cigarettes arc liable to lapses of memory, and it Is not safe t" trust the lives of passen- gers in the hands of men who have tha' failing"
 These are cnly few of the many business concerns that are today put ting the ban on cigarette smoking and the excessive use of tobacco.
 College athletic directors have shown by numbers of examinations that the use of tobacco among college students checks growth in weight. height, chest-girth, and most of all in lung capacity.
 Physical directors everywhere rigidly forbid the use of tobacco. Most any high school boy can tell ycu where his team lost basketball game, race or some other athletic event because some member of his team failed to "cut out" the cigarette.
 The use of the cigarette also leads to idleness and the killing of time" A boy that smokes 90 cigarettes a day-many smoke 50 CT 60 loses 60 minutes, for it will require two min utes each to get them ready for use. This is loss of one hour per day to his employer. to say nothing of the cost of the cigarette to himself If any one will make a study of the question, believe he will arrive at this conclusion: The use of ciga- rettes by boys is detrimental to them mentally. morally, physically, and financially. Yet many, many boys smoke them.

AGAIN URGES ARMY TRAINING
Cardinal Gibbons Declares II IL
vital Need Of Nation.

In n letter to the Association for Ma
tional Service Cardinal Gibbons repeats
the reasons why he favors military
training for the young men Of this coun-
try. Cardinal Gibbons says:
81 beg to acknowledge. with many
thanks, your letter informing me that
the members OF your association were
pleased to publish and circulate, far and
wide, THE NEW York suns editorial
which referred to my interview on the
Importance OF military training for the
youth Of our country.
II am intimately persuaded that such
. training IL Of vital Importance for the
welfare and security OF the nation. The
discipline which the young mon will &C.
auire will develop their character and
Improve their physical condition.
"The habit Of early rising and retir-
ing to rest, the taking OF simple and
nourishing food, and the daily outdoor
exercise cannot fail to %invigorate their
manhood. Moreover the association OF
the sons OF wealth with the sons Of
poverty, the sons OF America with the
sons OF a foreign land. cannot fail to
create a spirit OF fraternity among the
u men. to weld them together as
future citizens of a common country.
"Another advantage Is that the dis
c'plins will inst, into them a spirit Of
obedience to lawful authority. a virtue
too often d~isregarded in our land OF
freedom. Moreover, I am persuaded that
this military preparation will make for
peace rather than for war. For II any
foreign nation IL disposed to invade our
country, It will he deferred by the recog-
milton Of the fact that our country Ia
prepared for every emergency"
