GO BACK TO CANDLES
Scarcity Of Materials Used for Light
ing Has Led 10 Revival Of
an Ancient Art.

While the war has wrecked some in
dustries in France, It has at the same
time created new ones and revived
older crafts. An excellent and inter-
esting example of the latter is the art
of candlestick making, which has
taken on a new lease of life. Even in
some of the big towns there are houses
which are not supplied with gas, where
before the war petroleum or spirit was
used for lighting purposes. Now that
the use of these is restricted closely,
recourse has to be made to the old
fashioned candle.
This is true in the country especial
ly where candlestiCSs are in great de-
mand, and every one is buying them
according to his means or fancy. At
first they were made of copper, but
when that metal became scarce brass
was employed. Some of the modern
examples have several branches and
are very artistic.
A domestic art metal mcrker at AK,
| who has specialized in this kind of
work, and has become quite a celebrity,
has just constructed q series of tall
iron candlesticks of very solid proper
lions which can hold several candles.
They have been critically inspected by
art metal critics and are claimed to
be true works of art, and to appeal to
all lovers of MISUNDERSTANDING
American.

With the French Army in France,
May 15.-Germany's conditions of
peace are clearly stated i'm a docu-
ment found in a German trench that
was recently recaptured by Entente
allied troops. A resume of the prin-
cipal conditions as given in an official
translation reads:
After the enormous sacrifices we
have made of our blood and property
we exact as necessary minimum to
the preservation and development of
Germany the following:
Belgium, especially the Flanders
coast. with Antwerp, is to remain
under German military, economic and
political dependence.
Liberty of the seas shall be prop
erly established for all nations. the
Central Powers being allowed a COM
mercial fleet totaling 100000 tons,
while that of the Allies should
amount to 10,900,000.
"Our colonies shall be returned
with augmentation.
1--WE are to have more numerous
and stronger naval stations.
THE Longwy and Briey mine fields,
which furnish France its weapons for
attacks, shall become German.
"Readjustments of the frontiers,
particularly in the Vosges, are to be
fixed according to the military stu
alton and the appreciation of the
commandant; our frontiers must be
such that their defense is made east
err.
1.-The former German Baltic prov
inces shall be Incorporated, their
rich soil furnishing new cereal fields
for German peasant emigrants, thus
protecting the empire against the
dangers of famine.

Esthonia are to be cOlonized.

and tons of Rumanian petrol will be

and territorial concessions, leaving
Germany with only $5,000,0OO,OOO
national debt"

United States Stand.

Regarding the agreement as of a
purely defensive nature. the State
Department does not believe it di-
rectly concerns the United States and
consequently it involves no change
in the policy of the department in
the treatment of Far Eastern ques-
lions. That policy, it is said. prop
erly might be subject to revision If
in the future Japan and China should
find il necessary or advisable to call
upon the United States or the En-
tente Allies for military or other sub
stantial assistance in carrying out
their plans. AS the matter now
stands there is not the slightest dis
position to question the motives that
impel the two Eastern nations to join
hands to protect themselves from any
danger which they may foresee.

blindfold removed, but one of the
boys said, Mother, you ought to be
glad you are blindfolded. We are
lying here with our arms and legs
shot off because we refused to go to
France and fight the Germans. ="
Sturm also stated that he had seen
young men by the hundreds who were
within the draft age sitting around
in dance halls, cabarets, parks and
various other places, weeping because
they were afraid they would be called
upon to go to France to fight the Ger
mans.
On the witness stand Sturm admit
ted that h. made the statements

to interfere in any way with the ser
vice of the United States. He said
his information as to a mutiny aboard
ship was furnished by man by the
name of Cohen, who worked in the
Brooklyn Navy yard. He did not
know Cohen, he said, and only met
him accidentally.

clearly outlined this statement as be-
ing typical German propaganda, and

Unity In China Urged.

Practical difficulty in the combina-
tion of japanese and Chinese inter-
ests is suggested in diplomatic cir
Giles here through the disaffection in
Southern China. But it is said that
this is founded entirely upon the am
billions of Chinese leaders without
any relation to the situation in ST.
IBERIA. Efforts are now being made,
backed by powerful influences in and
out of China. to induce these leaders
to sink their personal aspirations so
that the Chinese republic can be
brought together as a unit to join
with Japan in maintaining peace in
the Far East and in destroying any
pernicious German influence, not only
in Siberia, but in China and Japan,
where it has manifested itself in the
fermentation of rebellion and covert
attacks upon the existing Govern
ments because of their adhesion to
the Entente cause.

China and JAPAN
TAKES JOINT ACTION
Agree To Guard Interest
In East To End
OF War.

Washington, May 1S.-Informa-
ton reached the State Department
to-day of the conclusion of an agree
ment between Japan and china for
the protection of their common inter
ests in the Far East against German
aggression. Although giving few de-
tails the reports to the department
were said to make it clear that the
agreement was only for the period of
the war and was solely for protec-
tive purposes.
A joint defensive move to counter
act German aggression in Siberia is
known to be contemplated, but in
formation was lacking as to whether
this would involve a movement in
force into Siberia by japanese and
Chinese troops. As to the necessity
for such action the State Depart
ment is not informed, but it is as
sumed that because of their prox-
unity to Siberia, Japan and China,
with a much keener interest in that
country than any other Power doubt
less were in better position to know
the extent of German influence there
and the necessity for curbing it by
military force.

DISLOYAL PUNISHED.

London, KY, May 17.-Charged
with violation of Section 8 of the es-
pionage act, Silas Saylor, of Letcher
county, and L. II. Sturm. of Pineville,
were sentenced yesterday morning
by Federal Judge A. NJ. ]. Cochran's
court to serve three years each in
the Federal penitentiary at Atlanta,
Ga.
Saylor pleaded guilty to an indict-
ment charging him with advising
young men within the draft age, when
they got into a fight, to throw down
their arms and refuse to fire a shot.
Sturm came to Pineville from New
York last spring. In conversation
with four young men subject to mill
tary service, in which one of the
young men stated that the people of
the United States were accepting the
draft legislation in fine spirit, Sturm
replied, I'm the hills of old Kentucky
the people do not realize conditions. :"
He also said that he had Just return
ed from New York and that two ships
that had sailed for France carried
munitions.
When the men learned that they
were sailing for France the soldiers
forced the captain to return TO port,

men heard that their sons had return

mothers arrived they were blindfold-

POSTAL EMPLOYEES TO
GET WAGE INCREASE

Washington, May 16.-The Post
office Appropriation Bill, granting
wage increases to postal employees
and authorizing acquisition of the
pneumatic mail tube system in six of
the largest cities of the country, was
passed by the Senate late to-day with
out a record vote. The bill provides
for appropriations of 1881 100000
an increase of S47,30O,O00 over the
House bill, and now goes to confer
ence.
Efforts to attach an amendment to
the measure suspending for at least
year operation of the act effective
July / increasing second-class pastal
rates, were abandoned late to-day
after supporters of the amendment
ecame convinced that it would be de-
feated The amendment was urged
by publishers, but many Senators
questioned the legality of attaching
it to an appropriation bill. Later an
effort will be made to add it to some
other bill, it was said.
During debate to-day several Sem
ators attacked the proposal to sus-
pend the second-class mail increases.
Senator Gronna, of North Dakota,
Republican, said the increase works
no injustice to small newspaper pub
fishers and that all of them do not
oppose it, while Senator Hardwick, of
Georgia, Democrat, presented a reso-
luton of the Missouri Press Associa-
tion favoring the increase.
Under the bill as adopted, city mail
carriers, clerks and other postal en-
ployes would be granted an increase
n pay of 5000 year. while rural car
riers would receive an increase of 20
per cent over their present salaries.
Overtime pay for postal employees also
is provided in a committee amend
ment, which the Senate accepted to-
day, 20 to 81, after it once had re-
jected it.
The Senate retained House provis-
ions appropriating 100000 for ex-
periments in airplane mail service be-
tween cities to be designated by the
Postmaster General and fixing the
postage cost for such mail at "a cents
an ounce or fraction thereof. Senator
King, of Utah, Democrat, led fight
to eliminate this section, opponents
claiming that such experiments
should not be conducted during the
war because of the need of airplanes
in France.
Before passing the bill the Senate,
by a vote of 81 to 10, ratified its ac-
tion of last Tuesday in accepting the
amendment to purchase the pneu-
matte mail tubes in New York, Brook
Ign, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago
and st. Louis. The proposal was OPP
posed by Postmaster General Burle-
son.
