Britain's Indians.

The Indians in the British army on
the western front, notably the Sikhs,
that highly disciplined military force
from British India, have little in COM
mon with the American red men. They
come from the other side of the earth;
they are sons of deeply religious
sect, and for so years or more have
been an important factor in the Brit
ish dominion of the far East.
They are tall, well-built, handsome
men, most of them with boards, and
in perfection of drill and military bear
ing they are not excelled by any
troops on the western front.
But while their methods of fighting
are quite dissimilar, the Sikh fighting
force being a well-trained military ma
chine while the American Indian is
flexible unit, there is ,one thing in
which they are very much alike. AS
humorous English writer-Punch and
it's punsters still live-puts it:
81 have had an opportunity to study
both the Indians of the East and the
Indians of the West, and while they
are very dissimilar in most things,
when it comes to courage, I may be
excused for saying that it is Sikhs of
one and half dozen of the other!'

Elephants. In Penobscot bay, three
miles from IslesborO, is little island
known as Mark island, owned by Pres
ton Player, State street broker of
Boston, and he there maintains a big
summer place. The keeper is Ralph
Collamore of Lincolnville, who in the
winter, with his wife and two children,
makes his home on the island in a lit
tie cottage.
On Wednesday, January %. he took
the boat and started for Islesboro.
Three hours were taken in making
the trip of three miles by water. He
came back and upon landing and pull
Ing the boat up onto the shore ON
Mark island he pulled the boat over
onto him, pinning him down and break
ing his leg. His wife kept looking for
her husbands return and finally, at
tracted by his groans, found him
pinned under the boat. She is a frail
woman but with him hanging onto his
injured limb, she managed to drag him
up to the cottage. There with the aid
OF leather wallet and sticks she set
the leg the best she could. There they
were practically isolated and help was
needed badly.
Mrs. Collamore, full of pluck and de-
termination to get help, went to the
Player summer home. There she man.

mo by which the place is lighted. She
turned on every light in that big house
and put on also a red light. The
lights were run all day Thursday and
not until 5:45 Thursday afternoon
was the light noticed at Dark Harbor.
Telephone calls were sent to the naval
station and the tug Zizania started to
Dark Harbor to see what was the
trouble. Dark Harbor was reached
about $50 Thursday night There no
one knew what was the trouble at
Mark island. The Zizania cut her way
through the ice, in some places and
10 inches thick, for three miles to the
island. Captain Sherman and nine
men went ashore. They made their
way to the lighted house and there
found no one. Cropping along in the
darkness they were frightened by the
sudden uprising of a flock of turkeys
from tree. Then they came upon
the cottage in total darkness with the
door open but no signs of life about
Going in they found the courageous

for car robbery are to be carried into
the federal courts instead of into the
state courts, wherever possible.
Land Pirates Worst of Criminals.
sThese car robbers are the worst of
criminals; they are land pirates and
vandals, without vestige Of patriot
ism or conscience, who seize upon war
conditions to plumber the needed re-
sources of the nation" Manager Do
herty says. 'They always go armed,
ready and willing to murder guards,
and generally use bribery also to win
the connivance and betrayal OF rail-
road employees, who are the trusted
custodians of property. The courts
should not deal with these as ordinary
offenders, whose misdeeds are due to
weakness of character"

Head of Protection Bureau Plans

Enormous Figure.

New York.-Freight car robberies
have become so frequent since the out
break of the war that the railroad adj
ministration, which has undertaken
the task Of suppressing the spread
Of such crimes, is launching a national
campaign to put to an end the prop
arty loss which, in 1917 alone, amount
ed to $3O,0O0,OO0. Many of these rob-
berries have been accompanied by muir
der. Acting on information that the
New York city district is mecca
for freight car robberies," Phillips J..
Doherty, manager of the property pro-
lection section Of the law division Of
the railroad administration, is con-
1ucting personal "clean up" from the
metropolis.
Doherty announces that the cam
paign is national and that concerted
action already had accomplished i'm
provement in big centers, such as Chi
.ago, st. Louis and Memphis. Accord
Ing to Doherty, however, ''the most
difficult and most important situation
exists in New York"
Enormous Increase in Robberies.
The work of breaking up the
freight thieves involves, besides the
coordination of the police forces of
the railroad organization, the thorough
and active cooperation of peace Of
fcers in all the cities, towns and viii
lagos, as well as of railroad employees.
Manager Doherty, who has made a
close study of freight stealing, de-
clares that the robbery of freight cars
has increased enormously in the last
few years. He cites an official report
that 1916 losses amounted to more than
S10,OOO,OO0, increasing to fully $30,000,-
900 in 1917. 1t is his opinion that the
losses for 1913 may reach $3S,000,O00.
Corrective measures have moved
rapidly. In a few months more than
300 individuals have been indicted and
several long penitentiary terms have
been imposed. Among those found
guilty were two policemen in West
ern city, who were arrested in full
uniform while conniving at the rob-
berry of freight cars. In 81 convic-
tons during the last two months the
penalties have ranged from $50 fines
to 21-year prison sentences.
The new plan which the railroad
administration will put into effect

Ices of more than 1900 officers of the

TRAIN CATS FOR HUNTING
Not Even Burbank Has One Thing on
This Officer From the State
of California.

Oakland, Cal.-Robert Tyson, assist
ant probation officer, is the owner Of
two felines, Clinkers and Cinders.
They accompany him on his pre-day-
light trip through his orchard. At
the report of a gun they dash off
to get their prey, seldom failing to re-
turn with bird.
To such remarkable degree has
Tyson trained the hunting instinct in
the felines that it is necessary to warn
guests not to slam the doors in the
house.
He explains that on one occasion
the noise of door slamming was
mistaken for the report of a gun
and the cats started out in search of
prey.
This mistake cost him two pet gos-
lings.
