PEACE OFFICERS ACTIVE.

Reports OF Solicitors Show Increase
In Gases and in Convictions Also.
Columbia, March 1.-Comparative
figures for 1914 and 1915 from the re-
Sorts Of the solicitors, incorporated in
the annual report of the attorney gen.
eral. show that in 1914 1851 cases
were reported as compared with 81
210 cases last year. In the former
year there were 1884 convictions, or
63 per cent. as compared with 2,121
convictions last year or &c per cent.
The increase in the number of cases
in 1915 over 1914 was 61s. or "a per
cent.
1t is urged that these figures DEM
onstrate the greater activity of peace
officers and the growing disposition
among jurors to return verdicts Of
guilty.

The senate military committee
agreed tentatively today to amend
the present act so that third force.
exclusive Of the regular army or the
National Guard, may be organized in
peace times. 1t is proposed to insert
general provision in the pending
Dill under which the restriction of or
ganization of federal volunteers to
war time would be removed and the
president given the widest possible lat
itude as to questions Of enlistment,
arms. training and other details to in
sure practical test of this method of
raising a citizen army. In effect, the
proposal is to supply the authority for
test Of the continental army plan. A
provision with the same end in view is
now included in the house bill and the
final Judgment on the plan will be
worked out in conference.
Members Of the house committee in
closest touch with it's efforts towards
liberalization Of the National Guard
said today that while 1t was proposed
In the bill to go to the limit of con-
stitutional authority in this regard
they believed a constitutional amend
ment sweeping aside all State jurisdic-
ton would be necessary in the end.
Hope was expressed that agitation for
such an amendment would come from
the guardsmen themselves.

German Ships May be Prey Of Ger.

man submarines.
Washington, Feb. 2s.-Announce-
ment Of Italy's seizure of German
ships in her waters attracted much
attention in official and diplomatic
circles and in some quarters the be-
lief was expressed that the seizure
was the first Of series of acts which
eventually might lead to war be-
tween Italy and Germany.
. One Of the leading explanations ad.
vaaced for Italy's action was that she
proposed to answer the new Ger
manic submarine campaign which
goes into effect at midnight by send.
ing German-owned ships to sea to
meet the Teutonic submersibles.
The ships seized by Italy are worth
millions Of dollars. A total of 81
German and Austrian vessels are in
Italian ports. the Austrian ships hav-
ing been seized when Italy declared
war on the dual monarchy.
hThe entente nations are short of
ships and therefore transfer Of the
Gsrman vessels to the flag of Italy
and their use by the entente allies
would do much towards relieving the
congestion Of goods on American
docks awaiting shipment to the allied
countries. M

pected that the Germans will make
another desperate thrust at some 9TH

alive to the situation and have taken
precautions against surprise. The air

Massachusetts regiment when it was
attacked as it passed through Balti-
more on April 10, 1861, went to Balti-
more a few years ago to complete a
labor of love and patriotism. For five
years the veteran soldier, who has died
since, spent his money freely trying
to find the grave of Charles A. Taylor,
the first soldier killed In the civil war
and II of four of the regiment to
die in the Baltimore riot.
w. w. Glenn of Baltimore had an
nounced that he had found Taylor's
grave in the old Methodist cemetery,
and General Jones, who was blind,
travelled to Baltimore with his daugh-
ter to be present at the disinterring of
Taylor's body. 1t was planned to re
move it to Lowell, Mass, where a mon

The blind old general sat in a chair
with an anxious expression on his face,
with the thermometer at 90 degrees.
The gravediggers dug and dug. Per
spiration streamed down their faces,
and all became more and more anxious.
Finally, after they had dug for more
than an hour and had cut a trench
about six feet deep, they announced, to
the dismay of the general, that nobody
had ever lain there.

MEMORIAL DAY

GO still they sleep,
~ Beneath the verdure deep,
On hill, on vale, by brook and lonely
farm!
A scattered army they
Until the day
The bngles of the angels sound alarm
And they awake for the last reveille.
By ford and sea,
On grassy mounds, abonuds
A host of fluttering flags that mark
The soldiers grave.
How brave their colOrs bright
But who can tell
How each stern hero fell?
On sea, on land,
We understand they died,
But of their dying agony
We may not know or see
In what heroic way they breathed theiI
last,
How sped their choking breath
When Death
Folded his arms about.
Their dying eyes gazed on the foe,
And, 10,
They slept,
U%nknowing that the day was won or lost
Amid the fray they fell,
And Israel
Wept at the sight
And gave them night and rest.
They dwell In silent camps.
The damps
And dews weep Ger their mound.
With us they live
And give
Joy at their victory.
We grieve, but honor;
Weep, but praise,
And raise
A shaft in memory eternal
For a nations sons
Who by their guns
Fought and in fighting died.
They died to save,
And but their grave
Is left to us, the living,
We who bow
And place a Chaplet on each brow.
