HumiSton'S genius for detective worl she has, through her law practice, a intimate acquaintance with the psy- chology of the criminal mind. She has womanS intuition and insght int the workings of the feminine mind, Above all, she feels she knows ninety nine girls in every hundred are inner ently good and pure.
 Mrs. HumiSton declares in het three months investigation she dis covered twenty-two cellars where girls were made victims of men.
 "New York does not know how Sys- temized the danger is for the girls of our city" she says. Girls disap- pear in this city and a too-ready pub lie instantly says at least the girl was half as much to blame as the man. But l can tell you otherwise"
 In one year S29 persons disappear ed from the streets or the Olg city and were never heard from again. Ia three of its five boroughs, PA murders occurred and many remain unSolved.
 These conditions indicate either that New York is the most criminal city in the world, or the police force is inefficient. Mrs. HumiSton'S rcvel- ationS of the inactivity of the police in the Ruth Cruger case have ag,Gn aroused the suspicion that they are still protecting criminals instead of the public.

COL OMBIA is THE GREAT JEW
ISH REPUBLIC OF THE
FUTURE.

Colombia is the runaway daugh-
ter of Spain, says Dan Ward in
"World Outlook" She is twice as
large as her mother-and many
times as promising. And it may
surprise you to learn that the most
progressive element in Colombia
is not the Spanish population, or
the natives, but a Jewish people
called Antioquians, who have Old
Testament Names, raise families
Of from twelve to thirty children,
and are fast becoming the doni-
nant power in the land, both in
numbers and in influence. Col
ombia is the great Jewish republic
of the near future.

a Later Report.

It turns out now that the claim
was not supported by the authorl-
ties of the British Museum, the Wal
lace Collection and the National
Art Collections Fund, but by people
who have some connection with
these bodies. The claim for exemp
ticn on the part Of this clever sculp-
tor is held to raise the whole ques-
ton of genius and war, or should
genius be sent to fight. This ques-
ton has been answered in the af-
firmative by many wonderfully
clever men, some of them under and
some over middle age. Rupert
Brookes, the British poet, was the
first to lose his life on the battle
field, when it was universally recog
nized that most promising career
had been cut short in sad and I'm
timely fashion. Others have fol-
lowed hin1-painters, poets, writer's
and we also know that the great
leader of the futurists, Signor Mar
inetti, the evangelist and the spokes-
man of all that Epstein and the rest
claim to work for, is himself fight
ing in the Italian army and has pro-
duced some wonderful futuristic or
cubistic battle poems. So far as one
can sum up the whole question, the
view appears to be that genius
should take it's chance like every
thing else in times of unparalleled
warfare such as these

hand. The appellant was born in
New York, his parents being
Poles, and he had studied in Paris.
When he settled in England he be-
came naturalized here. In con-
clusion, counsel urged that it would
be great loss to the world it so
great a genius were sent into the
army.
The military representative said
the question was whether or not it
was one-man business. 1t was
decided to allow the appeal, prin-
cipally on the ground Of the ina
tional interests" and to grant ex-
emption for three months, with
leave to apply again. The tri-
bunal would give no undertaking
to renew the exemption then, the
chairman saying it would all de-
pend on the needs of the army in
the future. The chairman asked
Epstein if he would like to join the
Volunteer Training Corps. Ep-
stein replied, 81 would not mind
"Then you SHALL" responded the
chairman.
To explain the above it might be
mentioned that the Volunteer
Training Corps is largely body
of men over military age who spend
their spare time and their week
ends in drilling and in gaining some
proficiency in military exercises.

resentatives of all the religious. de-
nominations. Jewish representatives
at the conference were DR.. Joseph
Krauskopf, of Philadelphia, DR..
Stephen S. Wise and DR.. David de
Sofa Pool.
The conference at Washington
took place last Tuesday. Mr.. Her
bert C. Hoover, DR.. Ray Lyman Will
bur, President Of Leland Stanford
University, and Mr.. George A. Gull
len, told Of the urgent need OF food
conservation, and showed how the
churches of the country might prove
powerful aids in bringing that need
home to the people throughout the
country. There were present quite a
number of representative Of the diff
ferent denominations, by whom the
ways and means proposed were fully
discussed. The work is to be direct
ed by one representative Of each of
the three principal faiths, and DR..
Krouskopf is to have charge of the
propaganda among Jews. He has
asked Mr.. George Zepin, of Cincin-
natl, Secretary of the Union of

FAMOUS SCULPTOR GIVEN
EXEMPTION.

LOndOn.-JacOb Epstein, the
famous Jewish sculptor, is thirty
six years old and fit and therefore
liable to military service. So far,
however, he has obtained exemp
ton of about three months at
time with renewals when each peri
cd of three months finished. He
came up for further exemption be-
fore the Law Society Appeal Tri-
bune on June 6 and was represent
ed by counsel. Epstein is married
and has no children and he was re-
fused exemption by the last tribun-
al on the ground that a sculptural
artist only suffered temporary in
convenience by serving in the
army. Hence Epstein's appearance
before the appeal tribunal to try
and have this upset.
Speaking for his client, Attor-
ney Newbolt said that Epstein oc-
cupied an exceptional position in
the art world and some Of the men,
bers of the Holborn tribunal (the
first tribunal Epstein appeared be-
fore) were in favor Of total exemp-
ton. AS the members were not
in entire agreement it was decided
to give the appellant three months
exemption, with leave to appeal
again. The tribunal were anxious
he should cover himself by doing
some work of national Importance
in his spare time, and the appel
liant had been searching about, but
found that the classes of work
suggested were not suited to his
particular genius. The third tri-
bunal that the appellant came be-
fore thought he might ''win fresh
laurels in the trenches" Epstein
was a sculptor who did all his own
work, and had commissions Of an
exceptional kind He was a man
who was quite unlike anyone else
in the country, and in regard to
national memorials his work was
extremely valuable. He hoped to
get commission to design the
Kitchener Memorial at St. Paups
Cathedral, London, and Lord Fish
err had been much impressed with
the artists work Of national
character.
The application for Epstein's ex-
emption was originally brought by
the authorities Of the British
Museum, the National Art Collec-
ton, the Wallace Collection, ETC.,
who had interested themselves in
the matter, and applied on the
ground that the question was one
of national Importance If sculp-
tor lost an eye or a hand he

BODY FOUND IN WOODS
IS IDENTIFIED
philiaS Liable of WaterylIe Had
Been Hunting Near Bald Mountain

Late last Thursday morning Sheriff
Harry Goodrich received a notification
from the vicinity of Bald Mountain
that the body of a man had been found
in the woods of that region. The
Sheriff appointed his deputy John E.
Lamb of lockwood to investigate the
case with the result that upon Friday
the man was identified as Philias
Liable of Watervile. Relatives IN
that city were communicated with and
the body was taken to his home after
advices had been received from Medi-
cal Examiner, DR.. W. s Stinchfeld
Of this town.
The reports from the woods are to
the effect that the man was frozen L
death when found. Waterville friends
OF Liable declare that he was vet
eran hunter, tho only 80 years of age !;
that he had spent much time in the
woods and some of them believe that
he was a victim of some hunters

A ~SMITH. FAMILY REUNION
Two Of That Name Came Together,
One on Sled the Other In Auto

A Smith" family reunion wa , =
on lower Water street last Thursday
night 1t wasn't scheduled nor had
invitations been given out but 1t hap
pened all the same much to the detri-
ment Of the two who were present.
1t happened this way. w. A. Smith
driver of the Athens stage, had just
loaded up with Uncle Sans merchan-
disc and was preparing to return to
the little town twelve miles north. A
little farther down the street, in front
of the lies store to be exact, a lin
CUISINE was standing with William
Smith at the wheel.
Now the horse that W. A. Smith was
driving, dreaming of mountains of hay
and oats which could be had by COW
ering twelve miles of snow clogged
roads, was just bit peevish and when
the train started to shift, the same
train that w AS horse has seen every
night for 20 years, the animal started
on the run, turned around rather
sharply and headed for Athens. Then
came the reunion. William Smith
saw W A. coming at rather a rapid
clip and had no time to get out of the
way with his car. And then they
came together, mail team and limou-
sine. But neither party had a good
time and refreshments were wholly
lacking The horse turned into the
alley between the Masonic block and
the Peoples Laundry and stopped af-
ter trying to destroy large iron boil
er. Mail bags were strewn all over
the street and the sled was picked up
in pieces. William Smith, the driver
of the limousine got out about that
time to look around and found the left
mud guard of his car totally wrecked
Members of the reunion fixed things
affably enough, new horse was
chartered, the car went to the garage
and the party was over.

A Correction and Apology

There were some errors in our ac-
count, published last week, of the
marriage of our first selectman, Clyde
II. Smith, the most vital one being
that 1t wasn't so. We must hasten to
offer Mr. Smith and the lady concern
ed our most humbe apology. We
were lead into the error by the report
of a letter, from a relative of one of
the parties which was quoted to us by
a member of a Skowhegan family by
which it was received. This letter, as
quoted, was explicit, and we had no
no reason to think the gentleman who
quoted it intended to mislead. The
result, however, was a most embar-
RAISING error, greatly regretted by us.
Mr. Smith had left town at the time
the report, now known to have been
deeply in error, was called to our at
tention. On his return. he was
amazed to read our news account of
his wedding of which, at the present
time, and under the circumstances as
narrated, neither he nor anyone else,
had ever dreamed. That he should
have mildly reproved us instead of
bursting forth in Indignation proves
the abundance of his good nature and
forbearance.
