PEkING. China. September 12.-The
British and Russian ministers have
warned China of the danger of allow
ing the Germans and -Austrians free
dom in the interior of the country.
Russia warned China against Austro-
German plans to destroy the Chinese
Eastern railway, with the object OF
severinE connections between China
and Siberia. 1t was also pointed out
that the subjects of the kaiser We're
active in smuggling interned Germans
out of Russia into Chinese territory.
and. further. that the Germans We're
carrying on serious campaign among
the Moslens, melting them to rebellion
against Peking and the entente powers;
that the Germans are assisting ffnan-
cially the malcontents in the south
western provinces and are still supply
ing forged kilograms to the Chinese
papers, leading the people to believe
that the Germans We're nearest to VIC
tory.
1t was suggested by the Russian min
lister that all this might affect the
friendly attitude of the Chinese people
toward the entente powers. The Brit
ish minister advised the internment or
deportation of certain Germans whom
he named as leaders in the propa ganda.
considering this necessary to prevent
serious mischief.

ner Journal. Herr Ballin, the great

emperor and his government and is
now in disgrace. When he recently
celebrated his siXtieth birthday anni-
versary no imperial official congratula-
tions were sent him--a fact which. in
proof of royal displeasure. The reason
for this harsh treatment of a man who
formerly was idolized by Emperor
William. is the bitter way in which
Herr Ballin has criticised several of
the government war measures, and
especially his attitude toward America,
which ruined not only his own company
but Germany's shipping generally.
Both in public and private converSa
tions Herr Ballin spoke with extreme
frankreSs about the blunderS of the
German leaders. This was reported by
his enemies to the emperor, who was
greatly annoyed to hear that not even
the all-highest was spared by. the in
furiated shipping king.
When Balm visited Holland some
months ago he looked like a broken
down old man. He expressed pessimis-
mitting that the shipping which it had
taken him thirty-five years to build up
was now gone forever. He expressed
doubts regarding the submarine war
fare, and limited that he would rather
retire than try to rebuild concern

Scandinavian Customs Of

Many Strange Discoveries.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. August s.
Smuggling is one of the interesting
and lucrative trades that the war mas
developed enormously. Some OF lts
finest and modern flowers have blos-
somed in Scandinavia.
The main road of traffic between Dem
mark and Sweden is across the SOUND
from Copenhagen to Malmoe. where fVe
or six times daily in each direction the
steamers make their two-hour trip.
Smugglers are caught at these two
ports every day. but the game goes on,
for the profits are large and the pen
alties are not deterrent. Rubber. gold
coins. salvarsan and coffee are the sta
pies on this route.
The customhouse officials have n
good memory-and they need 1t Al

the street she found the packets sllp-

where knot-y tumors appeared: Ihe

with more amusement than sympathy.
A customhouse man chased after her
and caught her, on the bridge in front
of the Savoy Hotel. Back she went to
be relieved of her affiictlon.

Smuggling by Sailors.

But it is the German sailors who form
out 60 per cent of the scandinavian
Mnugglers. Competent authorities IN
the ports say that the amount these
sailors have managed to take back TO
Germany during the war is almost IN
credible The customshouse men are
always catching them at it. The other
day an auction of goods seized on Ger
man smugglers at the little village of
70 brought in more than 1000 crowns
ts2S0).
For n long time the smuggling here
went on undisturbed. In the evening
the sailors visited the shops wearing
special smuggling suits. The female
cook of the German steamer NeneZia
was suspected for couple of years,
but she was never searched, as the To-
cal customs officials had no female
searcher. Finally suspicion gave way
to certainty. A woman searcher was
hired and found that this enterprising
frau wore a special pair of capacious
knickers made of the best canvas for
purposes of stowage and containing 25
crowns go worth of soap.

hidden by the blankets thrown across

A system of signaling was in vogue.

this provender he sat down on the

Another time a party of German sailors
pelted the customs men with the eggs

The usual procedure was for the
sailors to buy food and fats during the
day and secrete the parcels in odd holes

discovered this and used to hang

Promising Outlook for Best Session in
Kingstree's School History.


Kingstree's School History.
Next Monday the Kingstree High
and Graded school will begin its
1917-1918 session and present indi-
cations point distinctly to the most
successful session of its history, in
asmuch as important additions to
the schools curriculum have been
made and the course of instruc-
tions at the coming session will COW
er a larger scope than ever before.
! An eleventh grade has been added
and with it comes course of in.
structioE in chemical science, with a
we'll eqqipped laboratory for the car
rying out of the practical end of the
work. Domestic science will also
be taught at the coming session and
competent instructors in these i'm
portant branches will have charge
of the work. Every one interested
should, and we believe. will feel
proud of these additions to Kings
trees most important institution.
Indications are that this higher
grade, as we'll as the lower ones,
will open with a good attendance,
as it is very probable that most of
the pupils of the tenth grade last
session will take the eleventh grade
and it is more than likely that each
of the lower grades will show an in
crease over last sessions attendance.
Following is list of the teachers:
1st grade-Miss Agness Erckmann
End grade-Miss Lizzie Heape.
3rd grade-Miss Lydia Greene.
4th grade-Miss Lula Logan.
5th grade-Miss Pearle Woodham
9Th grade-Miss Mary Wylie.
7th grade Miss Matte Baker.
High Shchool Principal-English,
M. F. Montgomery.
Latin-Miss Ida Griffin.

day morning and everybody is urged
to be present.
