MORE AMERICANS GO TO SEA
The Number Has Increased Two and
One-Half Times Since Start
of War;

That the United States Will be we'll
supplied with native sailors in the
event of war with any other country is
the statement made by Or. George =
Webster, secretary To the American
Seamen'S Friend society of New York.
an exchange says Doctor Webster
says that the European war is respOu-
Sible for many thousand Americans be-
coming sailors. He states that his
society within the last half year has
aided more than 100000 American
sailors.
Doctor Webster says that there are
approximately two and a half times as
many American sailors now shipping
for foreign ports as at any time previ-
Gus 10 the war. He attributes this in
crease partly to the increased wage be-
ing given seamen and partly to the
improved conditions under which they
are working
In announcing the six months report
of the society, Doctor Webster says:
''The past three years have marked
an almost unbelievable increase In the
number of Americans who are shipping
as sailors from our own ports. At our
sailors home on the North river water
front the men we have previously
cared for were almost entirely British
Swedish and German. If an American
born sailor should have mingled in
with this company, he would have been
more or less conspicuous.
To-day we frequently lodge Ameri-
can sailors, and they are practically
| all men who have not seen service in
the merchant marine prior to the out
| break of the war. 1t is a very fair
estimate to say that fully two and Il
| half times as many Americans are now
Seafaring men as prior to the war.
| We can no longer say that the Ameri-
can is n 'landlubber.'
"We venture to predict at the Amer
lean Seamen's Friend society that the
| proportion of American-born sailors to
those Of other natiOnalities will i'm
| menSely increase after the war. In
case there is slight lapse in industrial
activity, the seafaring life will doubt
less be an attraction to many who have
not heretofore considered it's desir.

Charlton Vaccination.
TO THE LIVE STOCK OWN
Frs OF THE STATE.

Due to the prevalence OF char.
bon infection, in various sections
of the State, this Board earnestly
advises early incubation, or vacci-
nation. this season on the part of
the live stock owners in order to
anticipate any probable outbreaks
of this disease and for the purpose
of having their stock protected in
ample time before the advent of
warm weather, which is the char
bon season.
Past experience has demonstra-
ted that best results are obtained
when animals are vaccinated
against Charlton early in the Spring
so as to allow a sufficient time, in
which to secure protection, before
the season approaches, when char
bon infection usually develops.
The State Live Stock Sanitary
Board strongly urges, therefore,
that, in those sections of the State
in which Charlton infections has
been known to exist in previous
years, vaccination of animals
should be commenced no later
than the early part of March.
If stock owners will give this
matter their careful attention, it
will increase the number of pro-
tected animals at the beginning of
the Charlton season and materially
limit the spread of the disease,
should the coming Summer prove
favorable to the development of

IDEAL SERVANT A GERMAN SPY
(By United Press. ]

Paris, Sept. (By Mail)-Model domestics are as scarce in France as Tn most countries, so those fortunate employers who have found ideal ser wants naturally hold on to them. That was the case of a wife of mobilized chauffeur in Gap, a small provincial town.
 But one day Sherlock Holmes, or one of his disciples, came to Gap, in the uniform of a policeman. Hearing about the model servant, he fell a wondering at such exceptional quali- ties in hired girl. He undertook a private investigation. These were evidently of a drastic nature, for the mistress of the model servant re- counts that the policeman began by seizing her servant by the hair, which, to her amazement, came off in his hands and turned out to be a wig The outer garments followed and what was left was a German spy, who for four years had been collecting useful information in the neighbor- hood

 Five hundred thousand of these cir culars have been sent to local chapters everywhere by the Red Cross. Each contains full information on how to knit the eight standardized articles: sleeveless sweaters, mufflers, helmets, socks, wristlets, wash cloths, bed socks, and bottle covers.
 Recent cables from Major Murphy, Red Cross commissioner with the American boys in France, emphasized the need for the warm knitted articles for the soldiers who face the hard ships of winter in the trenches. Army officers request that these ar

 The market was excited from the start. Opening prices were 15 to 23 noints higher on active general buy nc which included a renewed demand from Liverpool and domestic trade sOurces.
