Moore and others Of the party appeared
they followed him to the new meeting
place.
Meantime. the crowd had grown until
the police estimated that fully 5000 per-
sons were packed in the street. johnson
arose to speak. He referred to the re-
Of Mayor Mitchell and the board of magis-
trates to throttle free speech" and defied
the police to stop the meeting.
A policeman walked quietly up to the
platform and whispered to johnson that
he was under arrest. and Johnson
quickly shouted the fact to the crowd.
He urged them to keep quiet.
Shaun Conway. another speaker.
talked only a few minutes when he was
from the platform Moore is said to have
arisen and, waving an American nag,
began his speech. paying particular at
rested and the crowd grew boisterous.
A woman leaped to the platform, and.
tossing aside her hat. launched into an
imprisoned plea for free speech.
Another woman. who gave her name
to the police as Margaret Curley. took
the platform. and Immediately the
crowd began to 5eer the police. Miss
Curley tried to speak, but her voice
was drowned by the crowd. She was
finally escorted from the stand and
placed under arrest.
The crowd became 50 turbulent that
a call was sent for police reserves. and
men from two police stations soon
Joined the hundred or more already
there. Their appearance was greeted
by further jeering. Drawing their
night sticks. they charged the crowd.
The police gradually forced the
crowds into Broadway. where traffic
was blocked. Police automobiles were
driven on the sidewalks. and the defiant
men and women marched up Broadway,
shouting and Jeering.

American Soldiers Headgear.
Editor Of The Star

To the Editor Of The Star:
saw in The Star of Tuesday an item
that pleased me and many other Amer
leans very much. stating that our SOL
diers in France were to discard the
present German caps they wear" The
style now worn is copied exactly from
the Germans. Germans have used it
till the shape has got associated with
Germany and Boches. Can we not for
ali our men have a shape of headgear
that does not suggest Germany when
ever we behold our officers of the
United States on the street? A cowboy
hat, while not pretty. is at least Amer
lean and not suggestive Of Germany
and the kaiser.

DUTCH REJECT GERMAN TERMS
Refuse to Turn Over to Kaiser Ships
for Use After War.

The Netherlands government has de-
clined to accede to the demand of Ger
many that Dutch ships repaired with
German steel be devoted to German
use for a period covering five years
after the war. In response to Hollands
request for steel Germany made that
condition and also stipulated that If
struction of new vessels Holland must
give her an option on the ships after
the war in case any tonnage was not
needed for Dutch trade.
This last point is still the subject of
negotiations. but as Holland is sure to
require all her ships for colonial trade 1t
is not likely to be granted.

WATCH PIGS FOR
NECROBACILLOSIS

Outbreaks of necrobaci11osis, a dis
ease affecting pigs are likely to occur
in summer in insanitary pig pens.
One form of the disease, commonly
known as "sniffles," and another de-
veIoping symptoms somewhat akin to
hog cholera are the commonest ex-
pressions of this ailment which has
many forms. In a circular recently
issued by the Bureau of Animal In
dustry of the United States Depart
fment of Agriculture these two forms,
known as necrotic rhinitis and NEGRO
tic enteritis are described and reme-
dial and preventive measures given.
The form known as necrotfc rhin-
tits may be recognized, the circular
states, by Jumps or swellings which
appear on some part of the head or
face of the pig, usually on the snout.
Pigs so affected eat but little as =
rule. and sneeze repeatedly, often ex-
polling a bloody material. Treat
ment for this form has to be applied
in the early stage. 1t consists in OPP
ening the swelling, removing the pus,
and applying in the opening made,
with a syringe, either of these rem
edies: glycerine 1 5 parts, carbolic acid
1 part; or nitric acid part and wa
ter parts; or a so per cent solu-
| ton of iodine. If the swelling has
| become extensive, treatment is of lit
tie value and the destruction of the
animal Is recommended.

JOANNA sOUTHCOTT.

Joanna Southcott was born in 1850
of parents in very humble life.
When about 10 she assumed the pre-
tensions of prophecies and declared
herself to be the woman mentioned
in the Twelfth chapter of the Book OF
Revelations. She asserted that, hav-
ing received a divine appointment to
be the mother Of the Messiah, she
would miraculously give birth to a
SON. She was a very ignorant woman
and gathered about her thousands of
followers. equally ignorant. Among
them however, were several clergy
men, who believed in her. The i'm
posture was. strengthened by her
becoming subject to a, rather rare de-
sease which gave her the appearance
of being with child after she had be-
come too old to be mother. BY
some she was styled 1.-The Holy
Joanna" At the end of 1914 she
died. which put an end to her expos
tations,g but her disciples still believ-
ed in her. They would not believe
that she was really dead, and after
she was finally buried some were firm
in their belief that she would soon
come back to life. Up to the middle
of the nineteenth century several of
her followers still lived near London.
