PERCENTAGE Is TEST.
Vets Publicity Man Goes Wrong In
Trying TO prove Prohibition

The vets publicity agent in Chi
caso who Is wholesale liquor dealer,
publishes figures to show that Kan
sas has a larger insane rate than GER
tain wet States and ne picks out the
wet States Of Indiana. Kentucky and
Texas to prove 1t.
In the first place these States are
more than SO per cent dry and there
fore do not furnish q fair test The
question naturally arises-why didn't
ne select some really wet States, for
instance, New York. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania?
The insane rate in Kansas Is 172 2
per 100 600; in New York IT is 342.2
per 100000; In New Jersey 1881 per
10000: in Pennsylvania 229.1 per
100000
But after all the real test IL the per-
centage OF what is known az alcoholic
insanity IN wet and dry Gtates In
this respect Kansas stands very near
~ at the foot. the proportion of alco-
holic insane being II.

We Ba1Iadc of We Grizzly Bear
(By Edgar jackson, Franklin, Va.

over the mountain went a bear
To see what he could sec.
The clumsy brute was free from care,
But wore a most ferocious air,
Which was as it should be.
The mountain, be II known to all.
(And this ere you forget)
Was said to be so very tall
That If he'd started once to fall
He would be falling yet.
What did the bear expect 10 see
Upon the other side?
A dog with horns, a walking tree,
Or Just "A harmless humble bee
With tail six inches wide?
No matter what he sought TO And
Beyond the noun tain's crest!
It is enough to bear in mind
That when the bear got out of wind
He was compelled TO rest.
And 80 at length the creature came
INTO the mountains top.
He might have been a little lame
or footsore-it is all the same
Had he not thought to stop.
\ heavy fog shut off the view
OF the surrounding scene.
Until at last the sun shone through
To show the earth and me and you
And all the rest, / ween.
And oh, the sights that old bear saw
Down in the world below
Would surely fill man with awe!
Unless already filled with slaw,
Which matters not, you know
He saw the City's crowded streets,
The country's quiet ways;
And then he saw the rival fleets
Grapple and sink Md crimson sheets
OF battles bursting blaze
He saw the, misery and pain,
The murder and rapine;
He saw the golden fields OF grain
rarrpied and eharred, and thousand.
slain
Upon the firing line.
He saw the mothers tear dimmet
eye;
The mile-long, narrow grave.
We saw the soldiers fight ana die,
While ravening vultures c;rcle6 nigh
To feed upon the brave.
He saw the smoke Of burning town
Rise In the hazy sky;
He saw the far-fung banners blown
He saw the world turned upside down
With everything awry.
He saw tho evil. not the good
For there was none to see;
He saw the rivers dyed with blood;
He saw injustice as 1t stood
Allied with tyranny,
Disgust and sorrow filled the bear.
Upon the mountains side.
At what he saw OF mundane care.
And even though the day was fair,
The beast lay down and died.

Captain Georges Guynemer, Frances s most famous air fighter, has now achieved unquestioned supremacy over all other airmen of any nation. An official announcement brings the news that he has raised his total of Ger man machines destroyed in single combat to ty-three, greater than has ever been claimed for any other pilot, allied or German.
 Captain Boelke, Germany's most famous air fighter, was killed after he had, according to the German official bulletins, shot down thirty y-eight all lied aviators. The German method of computation of victories however, is much more liberal than the French.
 The German aviators claim as a vic- tory every case, in which the opposing machine is put out of action, whereas the French are not allowed to do so except in cases where the opposing machine was distinctly seen to fall by at least two observers besides the aviator who shot it down and was distinctly seen to be destroyed by its fall
 In achieving this total, moreover, Captain Guynemer broke two more records, for he shot down four ma chimes in a single. day, two of them in a single engagement and within one minute of each other.

ARREST CARROLL FOR
 URGING CITIZENS TO
 REFUSE TO REGISTER

New Haven, June 4.-Anthony Car roll, an elderly citizen whose eccen- tr4cities for many years, escepiaHy in the way of open air speeches and, in petitions for investigation of city mat ters, had attracted much attention, was held today under order of Col. E. L. Isbell of the Second Connecticut in fantry, pending the arrival here of United States District Attorney Spell lacy, who will determine the charge to be brought against him. Carroll was arrested yesterday after talk on the Central green in which he is said to have urged his hearers to oppose the conscription law by refusing to register.
 It is not yet determined whether Carroll will be charged with an of fense under the conscription law or under the old law which relates to se- ditious utterances. MT. Spellacy will be here late in the day and the war rant will then be drawn. Carroll will be taken before United States Com missioner Wright. Probably hear ing will go over until later in the week.
 Carroll long has had the privilege of speaking on tie band stand on the green on Sunday afternoons. He usually discussed public and city problems and was always free with criticism of man and measures. Some times he had a large audience and at other times only a few persons. Often he said things that led to friction later. He was generally in attendance at public hearings in the city hall and as rule was opposed to almost evefy project. i There were only a few persons to
 hear Carroll yesterday but among
 them were a Yale student and Yale instructor who complained to Col. Is-
 bell as to Carrolrs remarks on the
 conscription law.
