GERMANS SHIP JEWELRY
 DESPITE BLOCKADE
GOODS ARE SOLD IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES THROUGH SPECIAL
 MESSENGER SYSTEM.

New York, Feb. 23-German jewelry manufacturers have eluded the British blockade and sold their goods in for eign cots-,ries through a special mes senger system it developed here today in federal court
 The workings of the system were disclosed in a petition filed by Eoer hard Peter. a Havana. Cuba, wholesale ieweler, laying claim to valuable ,Iewelry smuggled into this country Ias iall by Hans Edwards Thompson. an Icolauder, and Fred Upperman, a stoah p agent, both serving terms Cf .l3 meaths each in the federal prison at Atlanta.
 on the strength of the petition the decree of forfeiture under which the allCeed ~ontrdband was to have been sold by the government was vacated.
 teter aHeeed that he has been the representative of several German jeWelry manufacturing firms for six years and that since the war his firms shipped all goods destined for Cuta, Java and ether countries by special messengers to New York, where they were declared and duty paid, and thence transferred to him in Havana
 Thompson, Peter stated, was one oi the messengers. He proved unfaithful and in order to cover up his theft smuggled the ielWelry into the countH instead of declaring it.

sruvENsoN,s LAST PRAYER

From sRobert Louis Stevenson at Sara
 nac." by Thomas Russell Sullivan, in
 the August (Fiction) Number of Scrib-
 ner's.
 January 25. Today has come from Sa- moa an interesting little pamphlet, printed for private circulation only, and sent me by Lloyd Osbourne It is "A Letter to MT. stevenson's Friends" with notes by Osbourne and others concern Ing Stevenson's last days, his death and burial. On the title page are these words from ''Will O the Mill:"
 q have been waiting for you these many years. Give me your hand and welcome.''
 It appears from this touching docu- ment that on the night before death gave him his hand, Stevenson composed and read to his family the following prayer:
 we beseech Thee, Lord, to behold us with favor. Folk of many families and nations, gathered together in the peace of this roof; weak men and women, sub- sisting under the covert of Thy patience. Be patient still; suffer us yet awhile longer with our broken purposes of good,

Russia Determined
 to Continue Fight

THE American people were in sym
 N pathy with Russia in it's revo- lution against the monarchy, which resulted in the abdication of the Czar. It was a bloodless revolution which seemed ample proof that leaders were united in their desire for the estab- lishment of a liberal form of govern ment. President Wilson sent Russia's temporary head a strong note of ap- proval of what had been done in the name of democracy. It was, in fact, one of his most impressive state papers. As a further token of his profound interest in the Russian sit- uation, MT. Wilson sent commission, headed by Elihu Root, to the pro- visional government with large au- thority to aid in establishing a re- public and supply the temporary gov- ernment with the "sinews of war"
 For a short time tranquility pre- vailed, but when a chaotic state of affairs followed, and the army in Ga8cia routed, Russia seemed lost to the allies. But the leaders have taken heart again and in communication addressed to Russian diplomats ac- credited to the allies the foreign min ister, M. Tereschtenks, makes it clear that Russia's purpose is to keer faith and fight Germany to the end The minister's message rings with the note of sincerity. Let us hope that new Russia may become thoroughly stabilized and give better account of itself than ever.

BEST RIFLES IN THE WORLD
By HOLLAND

New York, August 2.-(Special)
 How rapidly the United States is matching and even surpassing German efficiency in the production of arms and munitions of war Is proved by a statement made by two of the fore- most rife experts in the world, one of
 them being an Englishman and the other an American.
 When the United States entered the
 war as belligerent there was serious concern at Washington about the abil-
 ity to supply our soldiers not only with a sufficient number of rifes-a
 million at least within a year-but also with as good rifles as were made anywhere else in the world and bet ter than any others. if that were pos- sible. When the government took over
 the contracts made by Great Britain
 with the Eddystone company at Ches-
 ter, Penn, the Winchester Arms com pany at New Haven, Conn, and the Remington Arms company at Ilion, N. Y., it solved the vexatious problem of securing a sufficient number of rifles within a year.
 But there was another question and
 that was whether the American modi- fled Enfield rifle would meet the re- quirements of the government. Some of
 the authorities were doubtful. A few
 went so far as to criticize this rifle. But yesterday MT. Clearman, who has
 been in charge of the experimental fir
 ing at the Eddystone plant, in a brief memorandum to the Washington au-
 thorities stated that the new United States rifle of the 1917 pattern is a
 wonderful shooting gun. In this opin-
 ion he was confirmed by Lieutenant Staff, one of the foremost of the Brit fish rifle experts who did not hesitate to say that he believed the new United States rifle is the best military rifle in the world.
 Thus within few months so re- markable has been the efficiency de- yelopment in the United States, at |least with respect to munitions, that the war department is able to con template not only the ability of the American intuition factories to fur nish all the rifles our army may need even though it may be as many as

 The older class of theatregoers can easily remember when the -Four Cohans" were winning fame as a vaudeville family" and later when father, mother and daughter ap- peared with much success in support of George, who acted and wrote new pieces with such astonishing pro- lixity that he was soon regarded as potential millionaire. They were a bright, breezy family, full of vitality and good humor. Mir. and Mrs. Conan played parts suited to their years, while George and Josephine sang and danced The latter, who was happily married to Fred Niblo, died not long since.
 One trait in particular that made the Cohans admired and respected was the strong bond of affection which united them. They were ap- parently devoted to one another. When fame and riches came to them their relations were unchanged.

ONE EXPLANATION.

two millions in the next two years, but also to feel confident that these riAesl are the best manufactured anywhere| in the world.
 On Monday of this week when thej third installment of payments on theI first liberty loan was made thereI came from Washington what seemed to be semi i-authoritative statementI that late in October, certainly not later& than early November the Secretary o4 the treasury, MT McAdoo, will offer a{ new loan of 5000, ,000,000 to the Ameri can people. Some of those who will aidy the secretary in floating this loanI frankly confessed that they had noj idea what rate of interest Secretaryl McAdoo- will nominate in the bond. Furthermore, they are persuaded that the secretary himself is still of openl mind upon this important matter.
 There are many arguments pro akd con offered when a rate of per cettl is suggested as the probable figure' which the secretary will decide upon
 Those who speak in favor of the 4l per cent rate say that it will be foundI
 
 they be persons of wealth or those whoi have only small incomes than a 31sI per cent rate would prove to be. OnI the other hand the managers of sav-I ings banks all over the United StatesI are somewhat apprehensive lest Al per cent rate might seriously affectl their deposits and investments and] thereby disturb the securities market. Should the secretary fix the rate at 4 per cent then all of the first liberty loan bonds would automatically re- ceive that rate, it presumably being stamped upon the bonds that the in- terest is to be at the rate of per cent rather than 31a. The common opinion among those who are prepar- ing in a large way to assist in float ing this loan Is first, that whatever the rate may be the loan will be sue cessfully foated, and second, that Sec retary McAdoo will not find it exped1 tent to fix the rate of interest until has good knowledge of what the sic uation in the money market in the latey fall is. That will be the dominant fac- tor in determining the rate of interest.
