THE UPHEAVAL
IN SPAIN MAY
THREATEN THRONE
Army Reported to Be Taking Lead in
Revolutionary Move
ment

London June ls.--The upheaval caused
by the great war, which has already
hurled two monarehs from their thrones,
now is believed to menace the ancient
throne of Spain The utmost exertions
of the Spanish censors have failed to
suppress completely reports of grave
happenings in the peninsular kingdom,
From what little is known the Spanish
army is taking the lead in the revolu-
tionary movement, which is further ac-
tolerated by the food scarcity and in
dustrial unrest.
Rumors of revolt have been current
for several months, and at the end OF
May it was announced that the consti-
tutional guarantees would be suspended
while the government prohibited all pub
lie manifestations in respect to inter
national questions. This was followed
by an outbreak at Barcelona June /, the
seriousness of which was indicated by
the fact that the soldiers sided with the
revolters and imprisoned a number of
their officers.
The exact part which the issues of the
war play in the Spanish crisis is difficult
to determine. The masses OF the people
have been generally credited with being
strongly proally in sentiment, while the
artistocracy leaned toward the side of
Germany. At the same time the demand
for internal reform and other domestic
questions have apparently had leading
role in the growing unrest

ONE WASTE OF WAR.
Genius That Perished Before 1t Had

The waste OF war is not entirely to

those things which never were allowed
TO live because their authors-to-be got
no further than the first line of

Mark Twain, with the exception Of

many Mark Twains, Bret Hartes and

GREAT PRIVILEGE AHEAD.
For Giving Service to the Nation, Said
Pres. Thomas.

Middlebury, June ls-President Thorn.
as of Middlebury college delivered the
baoealaureate sermon before the gradu-
ating class OF Middlebury yesterday.
Speaking directly to the class he said:
Members of the graduating class: Not
since 1851 has company of youth gone
forth from Middlebury college upon whom
ests a greater responsibility and to whom
come a larger privilege than is yours
to-day. Our country needs the utmost
service of every man and woman. 1t
needs especially the service of men of
mind, who have been started in the train.
ing that will fit them for positions of
large trust and responsibility. 1t needs
yet more men who realize the meaning
and the possibilities of these dark and
terrible days
Il charge you to give your all TO your
country. You are not too good for any
service in any place under the old flag.
But you should be wise enough and pa
triotic enough to seek the utmost serv-
ice it is in You to render, the place of
largest difficulty and responsibility, for
which your training has fitted you. Fifty
five years ago a boy took his diploma
from this college who commanded regi-
ment in the Shenandoah at the age of %.
BE humble. but be honest, and do not
under-rate your powers No man of
large achievement ever felt equal to the
task which God gave him. Do not be
afraid OF large things, but be afraid only
lest you may not hear in the day Of
Gods call. You have but one life to
live. and YOU will not find ii very long

ness. for triing with small things, for
doubt and hesitation. Do your best and
the utmost possible for your country
and for the coming day Of equal liberty

day by the Senate of the priority ship
ment bill is an encouraging step. Trans
portation, of course, is a very impor-
tant factor in the present panicky high
price status The House presumably will
dispose of the bill expeditiously In these
times of war centralized authority,
whatever the attendant evils may be,
often expedites the solution of vexatious
problems. The president is given very
large control over railroads in this meas
ure and could deal helpfully, it is be-
lieved, with such matters as the coal
situation. AS is probably well under
stood now in New England, much of the
coal panic is due to tile disarrangement
of traffic by persons scrambling to corral
their supply i'll undue season.
Possibly the Senate is getting more
into the mood of adopting the food reg
ulation bill Certainly the priority ship.
ment bill is of the same stripe and was
objected to for kindred reasons. Be that
as it may, the Senate seems yielding to
the pressure from the White House and
the country. The more or less demagogic
denuncations there have. perhaps, eased
the situa ton in degree Furthermore,
from all quarters the idea is growing
that there is an advantage in eentralizing
the purchase of foodstuffs and of avoid
ing as much as possible the boosting of
prices that come from friends and allies
bidding against each other.
The talk around the capitol Saturday
about the Senate passing the food reg
ulation bill in week was optimistic
But much debate on that subject has
ragged in the last fortnight, even though
the bill was not at that time before the
Senate. And it may happen otter such
men as the thunderous Reed of Missouri
have delivered themselves at length, that
the Senate can vote ON food regulation
earlier than has been calculated
The week closed with unusual light
heartedness in official circles The enor-
nous figures Of the Liberty loan were
only one thing. Much important legis-
lation has been completed, and lot of
the campaigning which always must at
tend the engineering of great measures
through Congress has been progressing
more or less favorably. The Senate adj
journed very early and the House wore
through long afternoon with the rivers
and harbors bill. 1t is generally expect
ed that next week will be crowded with
notable doings both in Congress and in
the executive department.

RUTH CRUGER
MURDERED
Body Is Found in the Cellar
of Bicycle Dealers
Shop
MURDER MYSTERY
is CLEARED UP
New York School Girl Had
Been Missing Since
February 3

New York, June ls.-Diseovery Satur-
Cruger, the missing Wadleigh high school
student, who had been murdered and
then buried six feet under the cellar Of
a shop occupied by bicycle dealer, who
fled to Italy after she disappeared,
cleared a mystery which had batfled the
police for months. The girls skull had
been crushed.
Miss Cruger's parents identified the
body through articles OF apparel she
wore on Feb, 49, the day she left home,
and Wadleigh high school ring. The
police Saturday took into custody several
persons, who were questioned closely.
The bicycle shop to which the girl
went to have her skates sharpened the
day she disappeared was conducted by
Alfredo Cocchi, who fled from New York
after the girls absence from home was
reported to the police. He is now being
held at Bologna, italy. and an effort will
be made to extradite him. Recently
when detectives tried to dig up the eel
lar in search for the body. Mrs. Cocehi
refused to permit it, Saturday after she
had left the place, detectives entered
and solved the mystery.
The finding of the body is due chiefly
to the tireless work OF Mrs. Grace Hum.
iston, attorney for the Cruger family.
For the past week she had laborers ex-
cavating under the sidewalk in front OF
the house, apparently convinced, from
information she had gathered, that the
body would be found where it was I'M
earthed. A silk shirtwaist, corset Gov
er and glove were found several days
ago as result of the digging. but these
could not be identified as belonging to-
Miss Cruger.
Saturday when detectives engaged by
the lawyer entered the cellar and re-
sumed the search over ground covered
months ago, their attention was at
tracted by Cocehi's large work bench,
resting against the wall at the extreme
end Of the cellar They moved the bench,
and in walking over the spot their heels
struck boards. They cleared away the
earth and found wooden floor, which
they tore up, and the form OF the dead
girl was disclosed A towel had been
fastened around her neck and her body
had been bound with ropes.

fell, but that did not stop the golfers,
for q couples started off, this being the
largest number of players Barre has ever
had in her lineup in any match game.
Four of the players belong to both
clubs, so their names were placed in a
hat and drawn, which resulted in Fl. For

dent of each club headed the lineup on
Saturday.

CURIOUS CHAMELE0NS.
Wonderful Powers Of Motion In Their

The chameleon is an African lizard
Of peculiar form and structure. One
feature OF the chameleon is that his
neck is so short that he cannot turn his
head. To make up for this, however,
he has remarkable powers of motion in
his large, prominent eyes; they move
independently of each other and are
covered with membrane pierceS only
by a small hole for the pupils to look
through.
The chameleon is not covered with

CLIMATE AND COMPLEXION.
Are Americans Destined to Become a
Race of Brunettes7


That the coming American race is
destined to be a brunette type-and
not because of the immigration of dark
races, but in obedience TO a natural
law-was a prediction made in one of
his recent Gresham lectures in London
by DR. Harry Campbell He pointed
cut that each race and SUFFRAGE tends
to adapt itself TO the particular region
of the earth which 1t inhabits through
numerous generations. Dark skinned
peoples thrive in warm climates and
die out in cold.
The blond race had its origin in the
cold northwest of Europe, where
plentiful supply Of pigment In the skin
is not necessary to protect the body
from the actinic rays of the sun. and
where a white skin favors retention
of body heat. This blond race has
dominated the world, successive
swarms migrating southwark and east
ward and taking large part in found
ing the civilizations of Greece and
Rome, India and Egypt. But owing to
their inability to survive in latitude
far south of their natural zone they
have gradually died out and left no
descendants.
Even after so short period as thir-
teen generations the inhabitants of the
southern states of America are darker
than those of the northern states. In
process of time the blond type will die
out in the United States.-New York
