Galway For Ocean Liners

HlthsEto the idea q meki9g Galway
Harb6r q terminaTf0r Ocean liners has
been rather more nebuIous than our
own Montauk Point scheme for short
ening the passenger route across the
Atlantic. The two notions have much
10 common. But it cannot be denied
that the renewed agitation begun for
Galway by the Dublin City Corpora
ton has a new interest owing to the
U-boat danger zone, and may compel
fuller consideration,
Galway has a good harbor only part
ly developed. 1t is a terminus of the
Midland-Great Western Railroad. 1t
is almost due west of Dublin and Dub
lin is within 16S miles of Liverpool and
within IS miles of Holyhead. From
Galway it is 2,l65 miles to st. Johns,
Newfoundland, and 300 miles to
New York.
The present line routes from New
York are to Plymouth, 2,97S miles; to
Liverpool, 1902 mill and 10 London,
OsAOO lllllCS. NudDltCSbly q onlD HULL
this port landing passengers at Gal
way would cut 278 miles off the length
of the Plymouth trip, and S62 off the
trip to Liverpool. But two transship-
ments of freight would be prohibitive
except as a last resort, and perhaps
most passengers in normal times
would prefer to go direct either to Ply
mouth or Liverpool.
As u war measure the development
of Galway and of Dublin as a halfway
house would be of immense value to
Ireland. incidentally it would bring
ireland closer in many ways to Eng
laud. The project, we thiuk, is bound
to be discussed seriously, whether it is
ever carried out or nOt.-Brooklyn

Chorus TO Resume RehearsaIs


The chorus will resume it's work of
preparation for the spring concert on
Wednesday, March 7, and urges every
member, as well as every person on the
island who possesses any singing abil-
ity, to be present. Mr.. Pfeiffer Will
come down every week for rehearsals
if the members are willing to come out
regularly for rehearssls, and since he
is doing his utmost to make it a possi-
bility the members should cooperate,
especially the men. 1t was due to the
failure of the men to rehearse with the
chorus that made the winter concert q
failure, and since the excuses then
offered are no longer valid and the
spring concert will be held before the
summer work begins there is no reason
why we should not have three or four
times as many male voices as usual
present at the rehearsal next week.

preacher made a second call for con-
verts. More than xty persons re-
sponded and hit the trail. Persons
who attended the afternoon meeting
brought their lunch so as to make sure
of a seat at the evening service. 1t
was well that they did, for nearly a
thousand persons crowded into the
garage Many persons who c,uld not
get a seat stood through The whole SER
vice aud listened to a sermon on In
fidelity. The pre- acher made those fell
lows look like two cents who fun
around town airing Tom Paine's, H.
g~ersoll's, Hume's and Voltaire's inf
del views. Before he got through with
the subjt ct he shot infidelity through
and through with gospel truth bullets.
He proved most conclusively that the
greatest scientists were men who be-
lieved the Bible. He gave their names
and in some instances their dying tes-
timony which confirmed their belief.
The sermon was followed up with
another call. Though the crowd made
it difficult for the workers TO get to and
speak to their friends about salvation,
yet there were many who answered 10
the call. There were more than one
hundred who hit the trail in one day.
A religious atmosphere is being ere
ated all through Wildwood. The meet
ings are talked about on the streets, in
the stores, barber shops, pool roons
and ever the saloons are being emptied.

Not d Bite of
 Breakfast Until
 You Drink Water
Says a glass of hot water and phosphate prevents illness
 and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incom- bustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken day af- ter day leaves in the alimentary can- al certain amount of indigestlble material, which if not completely eliminated from the system each day, becomes food for the millions of bac- teria which infest the bowels. From this mass of leftover waste, toxins and sucked into the blood.
 Men and women who can't get feeling right must begin to take in side baths. Before eating breakfast each morning drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of lime stone phosphate in it to wash out of the thirty feet of bowels the previous days accumulation of poisons and toxins and to keep the entire alimen- tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
 Those who are subject to sick head ache, colds, biliousness, constipation, others who wake up with bad taste, foul breath, backache, rheumatic saiff- ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach after meals, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store, and begin practicing little, but is sufficient to make any internal sanitation. This will cost very one an enthusiast on the subject.
 Remember inside bathing is more important that outside bathing, be- cause the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing poor health, while the bowel pores do. Just as soap and hot water cleanses, sweet ems and freshens the skin, so hot wa- ter and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow els.-Adv.

Washington, March 15.-For dis playing extraordinary heroism in a battle with rebels in Santo Domingo, Serg-Maj. Moswell Winans, United States Marine corps, has been dec- orated with the "Medal of Honor" the highest award of merit attainable by the American military or naval man.
 Winans operated a machine gun against the enemy, only 150 yards away, in the face of a heavy fire to which he was fully exposed. When a jam put the gun temporarily out of commission, he stood up and coolly repaired it, maintaining his perilous position and resumed firing until the bandits deserted their trenches Ma rine Corps officials say Winans' prompt action saved the, lives If many of his companions

TWO AMERICANS
 ARE BEING HELD
 BY THE GERMANS
Berlin Government Refuses to Allow Chicago Man to
 Return Home.

Copenhagen, March IA, via London, March 15.-The detention of two Americans in Germany, one of whom at least apparently is classed by the German authorities as belligerent, is reported. James Moore, an Amer ican member of the crew of the un- armed Norwegian ship Storskog, which was sunk by a German sub marine, is being held in an intern ment camp, together with three RusI sians and one British subject, also members of the Storskog's crew. The Norwegians and Danes who formed the balance of the ships complement have been released.
 The second American held is Arl- gust Henning of Chicago, a bool.- keeper in the Berlin branch of the National Radiator company. Mir. Henning's application for permission to return to America has been re- fused for the duration of the war. MT. Jennings case is the first re- ported instance of a definite refusal by the German authorities to grant permission for departure of an American, the refusal being special ly endorsed in writing as "for the duration of the war" The signifi- canoe of Moore's case is that he has been subjected to the same treatment as captured belligerents, while all the other neutrals who were on board the Storskog have been permitted .o leave. Germany.
 MT. Henning was sent from Chi cago during the war to fill a vacancy on the Berlin staff which had been depleted by the mobilization of Ger man employees. He had not left Ger many since his arrival and applied for permission to return to the United States after the rupture of relations His application had been submitted for some time when the war office telephoned the radiator company office and inquired if Mir. Henning held responsible position. The re- ply was in the negative and few days later his passport application was returned with the endorsement

STREET RAILWAY @.
 WINS DAMAGE SUIT
Jury Returns Verdict for Defendant in Action of K. l.. Williams for
 $50,0OO.

The $50,O00 suit of R. l.. Williams against the Pine Bluff company was decided in favor of the defendant com- pany by a jury in the circuit court last night. Williams claimed the amount as damage because of alleged injuries. He claimed that while at work as a car repairer for the defendant com pany in June, 1916, he was in a pit at the barn repairing a brake shoe when some one turned on electric current, and he received the full force of a heavy voltage. He alleged that as a result, he became a physical wreck, and was unable to do any heavy labor. Incidentally, he paid compliment to the Cotton Belt railway by saying that some light work had been found for him, but that he was practically pen sioner on the rolls of that corpora tion. Williams, who gave his age as 50 years, said he was able to earn $3 day before the accident. He asked for $3O,0C0 as actual and compensa- tory damages and $2O,0O0 as punitive damages. The jury was given the case at o'clock, returning verdict about S:15 o'clock last night.
