I'VE have tried all sorts Of ways to
break up these dcplorable practices. /"
said Mr.. Thompson and we have
found that good logging is the only
effective method. Give one Of these
evil and wicked old frauds good
thrashing and he'll stop trying to be-
witch people for some time. When!
ever we catch them beating their
drums and holding sacrifices in some
hidden place in the woods we clean
them up as thoroughly as we know
how. for v" strongly suspect that the
saCrificial offerings are not confined -;

he victims Of their depraved frenzy.
II is not strange that it should be so.
either, for you must remember that
these Garth Indians are the direct de-
Scendants of cannibals: In their veins
runs The blood Of centuries OF canni-
halistic ancestors, while it is only
few generations since they ceased TO
eat human flesh openly"
Fir. Thompson also told me that
when the first automobiles were
brought to the island five years ago it
was necessary TO have couple Of men
walk in front whenever one was taken
out TO clear the natives out Of the way.
For nearly ayear every car had a
man walking for Il pacemaker. The
natives now look upon them with con-
tempt.
On several of the plantations there
are some very expensive cattle, no
less than the sacred white oxen, with
fiat. curying horns. like goats. and
humps on their backs. These animals
were brought from India many years
ago. and have since been bred here for
farm work.

 It appeared possible today that full marine brigade eventually would be sent to France to work as a unit of General Pershings army. With the corps raised to s0,000 men, enough for brigade could be spared and officers and men want to get to the fighting front.
 ARMY AND NAVY ACTIVE
 Preparation of the great forces that are to support those already dispatched are moving steadily ahead. both in the army and navy. Announcement today that when the National Guard is drafted into, the federal service and mobilized, it will be sent at once to the divisional training camp sites in the southeastern, southern and western departments, was another step on the road It will elimi- nate some delay in making the state troops ready for the front
 There has been much speculation and no authoritative announcement whatever as to the use to be made of the National Guard. The existing units and those new ones that are ready for federal inspec- ton and recognition. comprise the skele- ton Of ls Infantry divisions, Under prsa-

VEN|zELOS STATES PLACE OF GREECE IS
 WITH DEMOCRACY

Athens, June 29.-Premier Venizelos in his speech to his crown, after taking the oath of office at the palace yes terday, said that Greece's place was be- side democracy. The nation was strug- gling for freedom of the world against the two central powers with whom Greece's hereditary enemies were allied.
 We realize the premier said, that unless we drive the Bulgarians from eastern Macedonia that part of Greek territory will be always exposed to great danger Before, however, thinking of mobilizing that part of Greece which has not shared in our movement. we must vitalize it's military organization which has fallen into such decay and bring about fusion of the two armies. In b1otherly cooperation. therefore, we shall now call out the untrained classes of 1916 and 1917''

Paris. June 29.-Telegraphing from Athens under today's date the corre- spondent of I.e Temps says:
 ''The Greek government has directed it's minister to Switzerland, c. Garaja, to communicate to the Greek legation at Berlin, Vienna. Sofia and Constantinople instructing the ministers to break dip lomatic relations between the Greek kingdom and the governments of Ger many, Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey.
 The Greek ministers at these capitals are instructed to leave their posts with their staffs and to place their archives with the Netherlands legations.
 ''The rupture is based on the incom- patibility of maintaining diplomatic re- lations with governments that are car rying on war in Greek territory"
 Grceces new course with regard to the war began to be shaped on June 12 with the abdication of King Constan- tine and tho accession of Alexander hIs seconI son, as King. The abdication was in effect a dethronement of Constantine,

 ent distribution by states, however. there would not be more than four or five divisions complete enough to deserve that name.
 REDISTRIBUTION OF FORCES
 It seems likely that redistribution and consolidation of the force must be under taken soon after they pass into the fed eral service under the draft clause of the national defense act Probably 12 or more complete infantry divisions could then be organized. Certainly that num- Der could be completed with the cavalry employed dismounted. as is now planned and used as provisional infantry regi- ments
 At full war strength the existing regi- ments would represent total force of probably S5o,0oo men. Of that number at least one-third are fairly we'll sea- soned troops who already have had six or eight months of intensive instruction and active. continuous service on the bor- der In the Judgment of army officials this will furnish a splendid nucleus to train the new men and insure the rapid passage of the entire force through the

operations were carried out north of Cherisy and southeast of Lens. In tho fighting around Oppy and south of the Souchez river 247 prisoners and 12 ma chine guns were captured by the Brit ish
 Minor operations continue on the Rus sian, Austro-Italian and MaceGonran fronts Along the Persian-M -Mesopotamian frontier there has been considerable ac- tivity in which the Turks have forced the Russians to recross the Abis- Hirman river south of Baneh.
 Greece has severed diplomatic rela- tons with Germany and her allies and apparently soon will take the field against them on the side of the entente al- lies. The new premier. Eliptherios veni- zelcs. in taking the oath of office an nounced that Greece's place was beside democracy
 at Glasgow, reasserted that it was the intention of Great Britain and her allies to continue the war until the objects for which they had entered it were real ized.
 The end of the-war before that time. he said, would be a calamity for Europe. During his address the premier made the significant statement that the entente could enter into conferences with a de- mocratized Germany in different spirit than they could deal with the Prussian o1lt0cr0 CV .4f 5sI 1 4' 59 <

whose pro-German attitude had given the entente endless trouble, and threatened not only the success of the Saloniki ex- petition, but it's safety through danger of backfire from hostile Greek military force.
 Eliptherios Venizelos. Greece's leading ststesman, and fact friend of the en- tente, soon appeared as the man to take the leadership in guiding Greece back to her traditional place by the side of Eng land, France and Servia, the last, her close ally, whom she had abandoned un- der Constantine's coercion in Servia, It is said, in her hour of greatest need.
 Summoned back to the premiership by King Alexander, Venizelos quickly formed a cabinet. The reactionary ele- ments have been busted or quieted, the re-estabishnent of Greek constitutional government virtually abolished by Con- stantine restored. That the Parliament of May, 1915, which had been dissolved by Constantine would again be sum moned to meet, was later indicated giv- ing legislative backing to the new executive power.

Tn my judgment the war will come to an end when the allied armies have reached the aims which they set out to lenge thrown down by Germany. As soon as these objectives have been reached and guaranteed. this war will come to an end but if the war comes to an end single minute before, 1t will be the greatest disaster that has ever befallen mankind
 NO PEACE AT PRICE
 "No doubt we can have peace now at a price. Germany wants peace-even Prussia ardently desires it. They said give us some indemnity for the wrongs we have done. just little territory here and there, and just a few privi- leges in other directions, and we win clear out We are told that if we are prepared to make peace now, Germany will restore the independence of Eel gium. But who has said so?
 NO German statesman has ever said he would restore the independence of Belgium. The German chancellor came very near to it, but all the junkers fell
  from the mailed first.
 GERMAN VASSALAGE
 "The only terms on which Germany has suggested restoring Belgium are not those of independence. but of vas- salage. Then came the doctrine of the status quo. and no annexation and no German statesmen have ac~ cepted even that
 But what did indemnity mean? In- demnity is an essential part of the of civilization in every lana and cline. Otherwise what guarantee have we against repetition? Then 1t is said that it is not what you are after. You are after our colonies U nd prob ably Palestine and Mesopotarfiia. If we had entered into this war purely for the German colonies we would not have raised an army of 300o,O0 or {. 100000 We could have got them with- out adding a single battalion to tho army.

Petrograd, Thursday, June 2S-Two hun dred sailors from the Baltic fleet have appeared at Riga to join the army and lead in an attack upon the enemy ac- cording to the Russkaya Volta.

 DISSENTING IN PART
 Commissioner Meyer dissenting in part, disagreed with the commission, holding that an emergency exists for eastern railroads of such character as to make it imperative to authorize even the increased class rates sancr toned by the majority. He stated. thaf there is no proof that the returnb from the carriers of the east for this year may not be more favorable than the net returns for all but a small number of years in their entire his- tory. r1
 Commissioner McChord, also dis senting. urged that the commission report to Congress the essential facts disclosed and ask that an investiga- tion be made to determine wIh ether prices demanded of the carrieH for fuel and supplies are reasonably un- der present conditions.

 The commission authorized the fol- lowing raises in class rates for points north of the Ohio. east of the Mis-. sissippi: First class, from 7S.s to DO; second class. from 6S.3 to 7s; third class, from 52.5 to 60; fourth class, from S6.S to 42; fifth class, 21.25 to Sc; sixth class. 26.3 to 30 cents per 100 pounds.
 The commission found in general that the effects of the Adamson eight-hour basic day and of the in- creased cost of fuel, supplies and ma terials had not affected the southern and western carriers es generally as It affected the eastern carriers
