RUSSIAN ARMY DISCONTINUES
 OLD CUSTOMS
Compulsory Salute Has Been Abandoned and
 Voluntary Salute
 Takes Its Place.

PETROGRAD, July 1.-The sub stituting of the voluntary salute for the compulsory salute in the Russian army is significant of the abandon ment of a number of iron-clad and obsolete customs in Russian military circles. One of the most charac- teristic, of these was the Emperor Pauls famous regiment of snub-nosed men, who were all brigaded together as a sort of compliment to their soy ereign, who was snub-nosed man. . The Russian army in the old days frequently collected together into regiments men unhappily distinguish ed by certain classes of physical de- formities and idiosyncrasies. Thus, there were regiments of men all badly pock-marked, or all bowlegged, or all slightly hunchbacked.
 At coronations it was an army GUS tom that at a certan stage in the parade soldiers lining the route, at the word of command, blew their noses with titanic violence, lest they should sneeze as the emperor passed, and so bring them misfortune.

APATHY IS BEING SHOWN ON THE
 ELECTION
Light Vote Was PolIed at Noon on the Wet And the Dry
 Issue

DOUGLAS, July Manifestations at noon today were that a very light vote will be boiled here on the wet and dry question. While it is con ceded that the majority will be for wet, the light vote indicates that but little interest is being taken in the matter Less than half dozen wom- en had voted at noon and not over 25 men. Many who have always voted on the prohibition side are satisfied with the edict that the country shall go dry at the end of the year but at the same time and as matter of principle they would not vote wet today, and for that reason several are not voting at all
 On the other hand, there are many who assert that they voted dry last fall under the impression that there would be no local option election held this year to decide on the ques- tion of the business being purmitted to continue to January 1, but that licenses for the latter half of this year would be granted without ques- tion. This element is, therefore, yot- ing wet today.

Salvage Brigade of Men from United States Suggested by a
 Correspondent
MOUNTAINS OF GLASS
Iron, Steel and Lead Is in Quantities Left to Be Destroyed
 Only by Rust.

NEW YORK, July 17,-It might not be an unreasonable suggestion. cables the Sun correspondent, for America to recruit salvage brigade of trained junkmen to come to Eur. ope and clear up the mess that has been made.
 There is vast fortune to be made in recovering the wine b0ttlesr, that have been left by the millions all over French and Belgian territory. On the road from Albert to Ba- paume there are mountains of bottles and broken glass.
 Old iron. steel and lead are simply left to be destroyed by rust, and all the junkmen in the world working night and day couldn't clean up the Bapaume region in a year.
 If the barbed wire alone could be bought up by one company It's direc- tors could retire for life on the prof. it's. hundreds of thousands of miles of wire remaining intact, much of 1t still unrusted.

 Germany has not as yet taken any notice of the American govern ment's note of June 12, suggesting a mutual agreement that officers ta- ken prisoners by either party shall be paid at the same rate as cores bonding officers in the other coun- try.

CANDLEMAS DAY
CONES TOMORROW
Ground Hog Is Supposed TO Appear to
Determine What Future Condi-
items Will Be

Everybody will be watching to sec
whether or not the sun shines tomor-
row, as it may determine whether they
will plant gardens in May or June.
Tomorrow is Candlemas, and the
ground hog is scheduled to come forth
and investigate the situation for the
benefit of animals and human kind.
According to a tradition, passed down
from our ancestors, the ground hog
knows the weather signs so thoroughly
that. should he see his shadow when
he appears on Candlemas, he viii not
stop to discuss the situation with any
body but viii beat il back to his
winter lodgings and remain until the
heat gets IN and thaws him out.
A more authentic historical account
of the origin of the day is that it was
first celebrated b. the Roman Catholics,
being the Feast of the Publication OF
the Virgin Mary. The festival gets
its name from the fact that on that day
there is a procession of candles, and
those candles which will be required
in divine service for the ensuing year
are consecrated. The festival is also
observed by the Church Of England
\ and by the Armenian church. II has
/ been compared with the Roman festival
Ihcld in honor of Februa mother Of
Mars. when candles were burnt; posi-
4 bly, the old custom was utilized b. the
church and turned into Christian
ceremony. In Scotland Candlemas day
is the first of the quarterly terms. wher
the interest, taxes, rent, etc, must bt
paid The state Of the weather at thi'
time is said to determine that of the
year. n
| Anybody whofare debtors, desiring t,
Iadopt the rule which pertains to i in
terest, taxes. rent, etc, viii probably
be welcomed by their creditors.
