PRO GERMAN MOVE
in FIJI ISLANDS
IS NOW REPORTED

Sydney, Australia, April 17.-tcor-
"A pro-German movement in the
FIJI Islands is reported. According
to recent advices serious trouble may
develop from . movement instituted
luence over his fellow-islanders and
processes to be "Ulumalua" or the
mouthpiece Of the gods" This cult is
said to be a form of d~ev1l-worship
which ante-dated Christianity in Fiji,
and a manifestation of sedition. The
%asitation is said TO have caused the
natives followers to consider< he pres
to look for the return of q god whose
dwelling place is in a range of noun
tains on VIII Levu,- one Of the larger
islands in the Fiji group. According
to ancient myths, this god is to enter
his kingdom Of Fiji, expel all the
whites and lead Fijians back to their
old customs and form OF life.
The authorities have learned that
certain sections Of the Fijians sing
with war. In it the singers describe
a battle raging between the British
and German armies. The Germans
are victorious and, according to native
traditions. the British give them
hostages in token Of surrender. The
native gods including Dakuwaga, the
Ftjian Neptune. are declared to be on
the side Of Germany. Submarine and
airship combats are described, every
one Of which is won by the Germans.
Moveover,. it is the belief Of these
natives7s That it is through Germany
that the Fijian people are to come
into the rights which they allege were
taken from them by the British. /,

DUTY ON WHEAT
FROM AMERICA

cate-Will Enable Big
Shipments of Grain.

Ottawa. April 1.-THE government
has placed wheat, wheat flour and
Ssrnolina on tho free list, thus OPEN
ing United States markets to Canada
and Canadian markets to the United
States in these products.
! Under the reciprocal clauses Of the
American tariff the United States will
admit free wheat and wheat products
Of any country which admits Ameri-
9 wheat without duty. Tho Cana.
din tariff has heretofore prevented
ehis privilege being awaited Of.
The action taken by the Canadian
f'vernment today removes the duty
Ind automatically opens the markets
pf each country to the other.
The order is due to difficulty Of ex-
port abroad owing to shortage Of
ocean tonnage and the fact that the
British market has been virtually clos
I'd for Canadian wheat Of lower grade.
The duties removed are 10 cents q
bushel on wheat and as cents q barrel
on flour.

PRISONERS PROMISE TO
STAY ON GOOD BEHAVIOR

Some time ago several prisoners at
the county jail attempted to get out
side the jurisdiction Of the court and
sheriff by successfully saving bars COW
ering one OF the windows and creating
an exit through which seventeen were
at liberty-for a time. They were all
recaptured and returned. and the privi-
lege of the corridor denied them. After
several days in solitray confinement
they were released with the other pris-
Oners yesterday. but not until Sheriff
Garrett assembled them and delivered
a lecture.
He told them that II would be TO their
interest 10 act on the square with him
in the future. that they would be treat
ed as though the occurrence had never
happened. and in every respect shown
the same consideration as all the other
prisoners who were on their good be.
havior.
They listened attentively until the
sheriff had finished and then flashed a
paper bearing the signature of every
one OF those who attempted to escape.
avowing their intention Of informing
him Of any plot or attempt at Jail
break so long as they are detained as
guests Of the county.
