SUBJECTS HERE
(By Associated Press.)

AMSTERDAM, June 12.-Germany

lows: 1.-THE lynching Of Prayer Is
fact and was committed for no otEer
reason than that Prayer was Ger
man and sympathizer with the Ger.
man cause. The Swiss minister al
Washington has lodged a complaint
and asked for safeguards against sucn
excuses.
"The United States admits the facts
but says that under the law OF illinois,
II cannot interfere. The lnves'iga
ton is proceeding and legal steps are
being taken for the future.
"The United States, which is al!eg
edly warning against the Huns In the
interests OF humanity, bears the main
responsibility for the crime. Inc
American government permitted Ger
man hatred to be famed amongst the
American people.
We cannot rest satisfied with the
statement that the laws OF Illinois
are inadequate to handle the situation
The American government must fint
ways to protect the rights and hoer
ties Of Germans in America.
1.-THE German government has re
peatedly made known, through the
Swiss minister. that progress in thi:
matter should be accelerated, whatev
re the conditions in the United state:
may be. The United States govern
ment must under all circumstances
see that such things do not occur
again"
Herr Mueller said that British pa
per had published list OF simila
cases and the privy councillor re
piled:

proficient in all the divisions Of the
task, the statement adds.
After that they we're assembled In
divisions, companies, platoons and
squads, under women leaders, and the
defense service says that the method
produced unusual results both in dis
cipline and control Of production.
Friendly rivalry as to the quantity
and quality OF output is carried on
between the different companies.
Soldiers who have experienced the
horrors of being 'gassed' have lectured
to the workers, and special motion pic
! lures have impressed upon them just
how the deadly deadly fumes, against
which the work of their hands is the
only defense, are used. At the same
time, the government has paid special
attention to welfare work, the state
ment says, and at the immense plant
hospital, rest room and recreation ia
cilities have been provided.

British coIumbia's Coal.

Writing of the discovery Of coal in
British Columbia, Johnson in his 'First
Things in Canada" states:- "One day
in December, 1949, an officer of the
Hudson's Bay company in Fort Vic
toria was informed by the foreman of
the blacksmith's shop that an old Ma
naimo Indian chief had just stated that
he knew where there was stuff like
that which the white man was using in
the blacksmith's fire. The Indian was
told that if he would bring some pieces
of the stuff he would have his gun
repaired free and receive a bottle of
rum. The chief reappeared in the fol-
lowing April (1S5O with his canoe
laden with coal. A prospecting party
went out and found the coal where TIL
city of Nanaimo now stands. In 1877
the production of coal from the Ma
naimo mines amounted to 1000 tons
in 1896 it exceeded 100000 tons.

SPRING FESTIVAL IN CHINA
beginning Of the Year Is a Time of
Rejoicing Throughout the
Whole Country. t

In the United States one knows that
spring has come when he sees boys
playing marbles and flying kites. In
China, says the Christian Science
Monitor, there are regular spring play
ing festivals that all the people have
d part in and which are especially in
teresting for children.
Just when the spring festival comes
depends on the moon. 1t is the be-
ginning of the year in China, and in
the first moon the magistrates and 9th
er important persons in the town go
out in a procession Ito meet the
spring."
1t is at the lantern festival, the 10Th
of the first month, that the children
have the best time. Brightly colore4l
lanterns are everywhere, at the doors
of shops and houses, and carried in
professions. Boughs of evergreen are
also placed above the doors, and there
is an abundance of 'moon Cakes" lit
tie round sweet rice cakes.
The boys dress up in all sorts of fan
tastic clothes, sing, dance and give lit
tie plays. They wear masks of ami
mails and of human faces. Companies
of them go about through the streets
of their villages, and from one village
to another. Now and then group of
maskers will be seen on high stills.

every dancer carries lighted lantern

Somewhat Expensive Error.

A large steamer was once wrecked
because one of the sailors was named
West.
The vessel was outward bound from
Rotterdam. and the sailor was on deck
polishing some brasswork. Suddenly
the captain called him, and told him
to go below. The second officer on the
bridge heard the captain call out the
mans name, and thought it was an
order to change the course of the YES
sci to the west. He did so, and the
result was that the vessel ran onto a
dangerous shoal. That name cost the
owners of the vessel the sum Of $780,
600.

Yiddish.

Yiddish is dialect spoken by the
Jews of central Europe, consisting of
corrupted Hebrew with a large admix-
ture of German. 1t has been carried
by immigrants to Great Britain and
this continent, and is now of practical
ly worldwide use. The old Hebrew
Uncial, or Capital, letters are made to
give way to cursive or script letter
in writing; and regular written Ian
guage, and even a literature has come
into being. But for religious usage the
ancient Hebraic form and words, en-
ployed in the written Torah or Law is
strictly adhered to, and, it will be
found as rule that even those who
use Yiddish commonly, have also a
familiarity with the ancient language
