CHINESE WORKERS AT HAvRE, FRANCE
percentage of the men are six feet tall.
For the most part they are Chinese
who have learned something about ma
chinery in British mills and factories
or in construction camps. Some, are
agricultural laborers, taken to France
to increase food production.
"The expectation of Chinese to
France has been going on at Tientsin
for considerably more than a year, and
the number of Chinese now in France,
including those from French China, is
probably more than 100000.
Before they can be induced to leave
China these Cinnamon all insist on a
contract providing not only for their
wages, which are small enough, but
binding the French government to ship
their bodies back to China for burial il
they die in France. 1t also provides in
detail for the apparatus Of a Chinese
burial Every Chinese who dies must
have new set Of clothing for his ap-
pearance in the future world and for
the food which goes for the spirit of
Chinese of his class, from rice to roast
goose and pig. He must be assured
that other funeral ceremonies will be
faithfully observed, such as the burn
ing Of a string Of tinfoil limitations of
Chinese money, the burning of a pa
per house, a paper chair or carriage
I'm our factories In China we pay
Chinese wOrkingmen who have some
mechanical knowledge 1919 cents a day,
American money. The contract which
induces them to go to France provides
for wages Of 20 or % cents a day, and
that is enough to recruit the Chinese as
fast as ships ssp be found to carry
them out"

held this summer at Plattsburg, Plum
Island and Portland. The Plattsburg
camp will be for the senior division
and the other two for the junior divi,
sion. The senior camp contemplated
at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga, is still under
consideration.
There will be four camps at Platts-
burg-June to July 1, July to Aug.
8, Aug. IL to Sept and Sept Is to
Oct. IA. Men between eighteen and
forty-five are eligible. Applicants from
forty-five to fifty-five must obtain spe-

The Junior division for boys from
fifteen to eighteen will hold two camps
at Fort Terry. They will be from
June 80 to July % and from Aug. to
Aug. 80. Two camps will also be held
at Portland for the same periods.
Plans are being made for a camp for

PHONES FUNERAL SERMON.
Preached at Long Distance Because
Storm Held Up Railways.

Fond du Lac, visa funeral by
long distance telephone was conduct
ed the other day when the body of the
Rev. Frank Millar Of Oakfeld was sent
to its last resting place through the
drifts about the village where Mr.. Mil
lar had been pastor.
The storms tied up all railroads lead
ing to Oakfield from here, a branch line
OF few miles in length, and with the
main line in trouble no effort was
made to resume traffic. The country
roads were also drifted so deep that
the village and countryside adjoining
had been isolated for half a month.
The Rev. Robert s. Ingraham of this
city was to conduct the services over
the body Of his Methodist colleague,
Ingraham being the district superin-
tendent. Trying to reach Oakfield by
road, he was stalled and worked his
way back to the nearest farmhouse,
where he arranged to read the service
by wire. A listener at the Millar home
took his words and repeated them to
the mourners.

Chicago.-The pick of Chinese skilled
and partly skilled laborers is being
sent from Tientsin, China, to France at
the rate of more than 1000 week, and
from Indo-C China to France In at least
equal numbers, mainly to work In
French munition factories, according
to a representative Of one of the largest
British manufacturing and trading con-
Germs in China, now on a visit to this
country.
'They are carried over to France at
the rate of between 1000 and 5000 a

large ship to carry 1000 Chinese, for
they go practically as freight. A Chi

PITCAIRN ISLAND MAIL.
First Dispatch From United States by
Steamship AustralpIain.

Steamship Australplain.
Washington.-For the first time since
its colonization in 1889 by mutineers
of the British warship Bounty and Ia
hitian women Pitcairn island, dot in
the Pacific about midway between
Panama and New Zealand, is to re-
ceive mail from the United States.
The historic event is announced in the
usual dry, formal mail notice as fol-
lows:
POSTMASTER Morgan advises that the
steamship Australplain will sail from
New York on or about March 10, 1917.
via the Panama canal for Pitcairn is
land, being due to arrive there within
twenty-five days of the date of sailing.
He issues this notice in order that the
patrons Of the postal service may take
advantage Of this unusual opportunity
for the expeditions dispatch of mail
for the place named"
It is not likely that the mail to Pit
cairn island will be heavy one, since
only one Pitcairn islander, Miss Emily
Mccoy, has ever visited the United
States to make friends here. Miss
Mccoy left the island about fifteen
years ago to study nursing. Probably
she will be the only person In the
United States to whom the mail serv-
ice to Pitcairn island will be of inter-
est. There are about 10 men, women
and children on the island.

the fund of 100000 for the construc-

International hospital has been COM
pleted at a luncheon given by the Jap
anese advisory council. The japanese
contributed $4,000, including $4,000
from Emperor Yoshihito. The remain
der has been either contributed or
pledged in the United States.
The proposed hospital will replace
the present st. Luke's hospital, which
was founded by the American Episco-
pal mission many years ago and which
has achieved a reputation throughout
the far east. DR.. r. B. Teusler, Ice
present director, will have charge OF
the enlarged institution, work upon
which will be started as soon as
proper site is decided upon. The hos
pital will be international In scope.
1t is hoped later to add a training de-
partment for doctors and for nurses.
and to that end an effort will be made
to secure further assistance In the
United States.
The proposed hospital will probably
be the most complete modern medical
institution in the far east.

Win the British Armies in France,
via London.-One Of the most thrilling
flying episodes of the war was record
ed when the British observer in a two
aged by German shell fire climbed out
ON one of the wings and Steadied the
airplane while the pilot brought it safe
ly to earth.
Two young aviators were leading an
offensive patrol when an anti-air craft
high explosive shell burst just behind
the right lower wing Of the airplane
The machine was completely riddled.
Three of the stay booms were cut, one
blade of the propeller was blown away
and all the controls except the elevator
were put out of action. The machine
was further smashed by the broken
propeller blade and became uncon-
trollable.
Realizing the situation, the observer
did not hesitate, but climbed out three
quarters Of the way on the right wing
tip in order to balance the machine
The air craft continued to fall in
spirals, however, until it was about
1000 feet above the earth. Here the
observer succeeded in balancing it, and
the machine glided down evenly. When
about 200 feet from the earth a slight
movement by the man on the wing
caused the machine to spin again, but
the pilot was able to control it when
just ten feet above the ground, and the
air craft landed with neither man in
jured.

speakers at the Congress and Aerial
Defense day." observed at the pam
American aeronautical exposition re-
Gently.
Charles R. Witteman spoke Of a
scheme whereby the regular White
head auto torpedo may be launched
from an airplane as effectively as it is
launched from a destroyer. Mr.. Witte-
man said:
1.-The aviator approaches his target
from great distance and high up In
the air, and when say six or seven
water, runs above the surface of the
water short distance, heading toward
his target and when ready simply pulls
a lever. The action Of pulling the lever
releases the torpedo, which is rigidly
held under the airplane, and at the
same time throws back the starting
lever, with the result that the torpedo
falls into the water in the same way
as If it had been dropped from q de-
stroyer.
81 received private information from
Europe about a year ago that lieu
tenant in the British navy made four
flights over the land into the sea of
Marmora in an airplane under which a
Whitehead torpedo was secured and
sank four Turkish vessels, using four
teen inch torpedoes weighing 731
pounds each"
Admiral Peary said an aerial coast
patrol should consist Of 100 stations
along the coast from San Diego to Cape
Flattery and Eastport to Brownsville,
from each of which aeroplanes would
patrol as far out to sea as 100 miles.

HOLD AN ODD FUNERAL.
Salvation Army Takes Charge of obse-
quies For Victim of Diphtheria.


Chicago.-A band of Salvation Army
workers stood in the alley in the rear
Of dilapidated house in the slums and
sang Lead. Kindly Light" Nearer,
My God. to Thee" and then knelt In
the mud while the adjutant offered a
prayer. Face pressed against the din
~ window, stood a blind man and a
fearful woman.
As the prayer ended the basement
door opened and little white casket
was quickly carried out, placed in a
hearse and hurried away, unescorted
to a cemetery.
Such was the unusual funeral ac-
corded Josephine Tomaszewsky, six.
diphtheria victim. Her parents home
was quarantined because her two lit
tie sisters and one brother were i'll
from the same disease. The mother
insisted upon a funeral ceremony for
Josephine. and the Salvation Army hit
upon holding it in the alley as the
way of overcoming orders of the board
Of health against entering the house.
