A summary of the work shows
that sixteen of the twenty-three
townships in st. Clair county
were reached with this project,
and that they rank in respect to
the number of men obtained in the
following order: Wales 81, Mussey
10, Kenockee II, Riley 10, Grant
10, Berlin 6, Columbus 6, Port
Huron 5, Emmett A, Clyde A, Kim
ball A, Lynn 3, Fort Gratiot 3,
Casco 2, st. Clair l, and China l.
A review of the records shows
that applications were made for a
total of 125 men and that the LOG
obtained constituted sc per cent
of the number asked for. In Sc
lecting the LOG, fully that many
more who were presented were
discarded as unfit. 1t was made
a practice not to hire a man un-
less he appeared to be reasonably
clan and hadhad some experience.
III AallOllhS oO LiaAyI hOWCNSA,
some mistakes were bound to oc-
cur, especially in regard to the
latter requirement, and these were
responsible for the most part for
the inefficient men mentioned
below.
Upon studying the records from
ne standpoint of efficiency of
the men furnished, it is found 80
of the total of LOG have proven to
be good hands, while the remain
ing &c ranked from poor to use
less. This, after all, is really the
true measure of the success of
the whole work, and shows that
approximately rs per cent of all
the men placed were found at
least fairly satisfactory.

M. p. Church Notes
+. l.. Crandall, Pastor

Our Rally Day was decided
success, both in numbers and in
interest. Our attendance was 131,
just 8 more than were present at
our Rally a year ago. The l.. B. c..
report 3 new members, but we
must not slump in effort. We
should have the Rally spirit
amongst us at all times.
The talk given by our pastor
was right to the point and if put
in practice as it should be, will
surely be productive of good. The
doors of the church were opened
and 3 new members enrolled.
Remember the Subject for next
Sunday morning, "The Birth of
the Bible" This is the second of
this series Of six sermons and you
cannot afford to miss one of them.
The L. A. S. met with Mrs.
Rensley Smith on Thursday for
another pleasant afternoon with
her before she leaves our city for
the winter. We regret that Mr..
and Mrs. Smith and family are
leaving us, as we shall miss them
greatly in our church work, but
we will look forward to their re-
turn in the spring.

DIABOLICAL
METHODS
Is Resorted To By German
Agents In Norway.

Christiana, May 3l.--An amazing
collection Of bombs, poisons, bacilli
of deadly diseases and other means Of
death and destruction have been
seized by the authorities here as part
of the baggage of Baron Won Rosen,
a swedish nobleman and alleged to be
a German agent. The Baron fled to
Norway after his activities had arous--
ed the Swedish authorities. He was
ARRESTED but, as he could not be con-
victed OF the violation of any Norway
law, he was released with warning
to leave the country.
Baron Won Rosen's field OF opera
tons was along the Swedish-Finnish
border. HIS purpose is supposed to
have been the destruction OF Russian
food and munition warehouses, but
what success he had is not known.
When he fled from Sweden last JAN
uary part Of his baggage was seized
by the Swedish authorities and found
to contain a large quantity Of high
explosives, packed in tin cans marked
''corned beef" II remained, howev-
er, for the Norwegian police to un-
cover the real extent of his equip
ment.
After the Baron had been ordered
out of Norway those portions OF his
baggage which had not been seized
arrived in Christiana and were turned
over to the police. Among the arti-
cles found were cans of explosives
marked table salt" bottles marked
mouth wash" containing cultures
of dangerous bacilli, identified by the
State health laboratory; boxes of lump
sugar, each lump concealing a small
vial filed with bacilli Of anthrax or
CHAMBERS, and a number Of explosive
Pencils.
The latter article is an Ingenious
internal machine and new depart
ure in frightfulness as far As the au-
thorities here are aware. It has the
appearance of an ordinary pencil, but
if sharpened drop Of acid concealed
in thick glass tube is released and,
acting on other concealed chemicals,
causes an explosion suffcientto MAIN |
or perhaps kill the. sharpener. |
One scheme of Baron Won Rosen
in which the poisoned sugar Jumps
were to figure is believed to have
been directed against the great traffic !
stream which the war has called into
being between the Norwegian town
Of Narvik and Finland. A tremen-
ious tide of merchandise flows into
Russia along this road by horse trans
ports. Between 1900 and 1900 hors-
es are used for freighting goods and
barns have been constructed along
The ral for their accommodation.
The plan attributed to Baron Won Ro-
sen was to put the poisoned sugar in
the feed boxes in these barns and
start an epidemic among the horses
which would cripple the whole trans
portation system.
The revelations in regard to what
the Baron described as his scientific
expedition" have aroused great indig-
nation here and the authorities are
severely blamed for releasing the Bar
on. There have been some cases of
infectious diseases among horses at
places where Baron Won Rosen stayed,
but his connection Herewith has new
er been proven.

PAINTING DISPLAYED
IN WINDOW ADMIRED
BY ALL WHO PASS BY

Amid wars and rumors of wars 1t
is good to see that the love OF art still
holds sway in Honolulu. Apropos
of this there Is a magnificent painting
of the Yosemite valley on exhibition
for few days in the window of the
Hawaiian News Company on Bishop
street. The feature of this picture is
the marvellous way the soft amethist
haze has been caught by the artist
and Imprisoned on the canvas.
q This painting was purchased from
the artist. H. C. Best, in his Yosemite
studio by j. L. Cockburn OF the Bish-
OPP bank and 1t was the sale of this
picture that induced Best and his
family to come here for the winter
with the purpose of painting the ISL
and scenery.
How well he has succeeded in CATCH
ing these vivid hues and the changing
lights and shadows OH. the hills and
valleys may be judged later at his
exhibition opening, February II, at
the University Club. Mr.. Cockburn is
glad of the opportunity to allow the
public of Honolulu to enjoy his paint
ing. Mr. Best is known as the Yosem-
lite artist, having his studio there for
the last Is years.

BILL MAY RAISE
GIRLS MAJORITY

Attorney William J. Sheldon, for
mer representative, is preparing a
bin which he hopes to have introduced
in the coming legislature which If
passed would raise the age majority
OF young women in Hawaii from IL
to 20 years. A similar bill which
Sheldon fostered in 1913 was passed
in the house but defeated in the SEN
ate.
Sheldon believes that is years is
too young for woman to start
on her way as her own mistress, and
believes. the younger generation here
win be generally better off II the
limit is raised to 20.
Several Honolulu women who are
moral workers in their respective
communities are back Of Sheldon's
bill and one very prominent resident
has asked him to prepare the text OF
the proposed measure.
1.-TWO years more added to a young
woman's dependent life makes great
deal OF difference in her reasoning
and point of view" Sheldon says, and
hold that at Is too many of them
are not as competent to handle their
own affairs and Jdestinies as they
might be-

Speaking of British stupidity In

there has been much to the discredit

Down at the police station Bailiff
Joe Nobriga of the district court is

such an unprecedented increase in

figure out what is happening. Assault
cases, fights, profanity charges, drunk

has instiiled into the Honolulu innabi.
