GERMAN OFFICER
 TELLS Of RIOTS IN kAISER'S NAVY
Deserting Lieutenant Says Serious Outbreaks on
 German Ships.
(By Associated Press.)

London, Jan. 25.-A German naval engineer with the rank of lieutenant, who has deserted from Kiel, accord ing to an Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Express, states that dissatisfac- tion among the men of the German fleet is much more serious than in the army. He asserts there have been important revolts. generally among the crews of mine sweepers. #.4
 Three weeks ago a squadron of mine sweeping trawlers entered Ham burg, after an expedition in which three men were lost in an encounter with the British, and one of the trawl- CTS was damaged. Before the men were permitted to go ashore, accord ing to this account, they were notified that they must report back for duty within an hour. They asked time for rest. The Hamburg commandant re. fused it, whereupon 150 men declined to obey the order.
 An hour later lieutenant named Wagner arrived and ordered the men to return to their boats. They re- fused. The lieutenant swore at the men and struck two of them, the dis patch continues. He was thrown into the water and left to drown.
 The commandant who had watched the mutiny, dispatched motor boat carrying two machine guns. which were fired into the crowd of sailors, Killing A and wounding 73. The oth- CTS were arrested and sentenced to terms of Imprisonment varying from five to twenty years.

cycIist Good Driver.

An English automobile publication, in discussing the qualifications of a driver. for either pleasure cars or trucks. quotes the experience of {;
 large employer who said that, other things being equal, he always gave the preference to the man who had owned motorcycle. Among his req sons Tor this were that a motorcycle owner understood something about the need for economy i'll gasoline and tires. Moreover. he had experience in driving an engine that requires more careful operation than the wafer
 cooled auto engine. and consequently was more sensitive to any bad run. ming of the engine; besides having q good idea of adjustments and repairs.

Etiouette,

There is an ancient saying that "One should never speak of rope to man whose father was hanged and there Is q great deal implied in those few words. In effect is meant that subjects of conversation should be carefully in- troduced where persons present are not known to a certain extent; that is, that nothing untoward has happened, publicly. at least, that would make any unusual subject apply too openly to anyone especially.

Speaking Of Deep Snow

Considerable snow has melted in New
England. but down in the Maine woods
spruce gum on the trees 10 feet from the
ground can be gathered easily by men
on snow shoes. In the Maine wilderness,
by the way. four feet Of snow have teen
known to fall during the month of F b.
ruary, and the record for the end of the
month before the spring thaws began is
about nine feet.-Boston Globe.
The Globe optimist may think he is
cheering New England with ground
hog possibilities, but If he is going to
tell us of records why not recall fall
of four feet of snow in a single storm
in March? In March, 1856. two moose
hunters from Harmony reached Beav-
er creek feeding station camp, half
way from Greenville to Lily Bay, with
the carcasses of two moose. During
the night fall Of snow precluded any
possibility Of moving homeward with
their moose sled until teams had
passed over the tote road. That night
logging crew from Roach river
reached Beaver creek, 40 men and
horse teams. There was corn for the
horses but little food for the men. The
hunters at once contributed one of the
moose and the loggers were fed. When
the teams moved out next morning the
new snow was deep enough on the old
hard road bed to roll into the collars
CT the largest horses" When they
reached the Lake House at Greenville
a drift 10 feet deep and hard enough
SO the teams went "over the top, lay
across in front of the famous hosiery.
1t is interesting to note with the above
that the loggers were packed to leave
for down river" before the big storm,
because the snow was already too
deep for numbering operations.

"uncia Johnnie" Stanton.

In the death of Prof. ]. Y. Stanton of
Bates College, Maine loses one Of its
best known and most-loved citizens.
Uncle Johnnie" Stanton, the famous
ornithologist, had been associated with
the Lewiston College for more than
half a century, and for at least half
that period his bird walks" have been
an institution to the people of Lewiston
and Auburn End the surrounding coun-
tryside, as well as to the students of
the educational institution. Visitors to
the city were often invited to enjoy
these early morning walks with Prof.
Stanton and his company OF en-
thusiasts. to discover the little feath-
cred friends in early spring time, and
all down through the summer and au-
tumn. Every note of every bird was
known and instantly recognized by
Uncle Johnnie" and with him these
walks became a habit with many of
those who had not previously discov-
cred the benefits Of the early morning
air and brisk walks through the pas
lures and w>dlands. Hundreds
thousands prob~.biy-of the citizens Of
Maine, and others scattered over this
country and the world. have found a
new appreciation of bird life and all
outdoors in Prof Stanton's company. to
lay nothing of the revelation to them Of
a side OF human character as rare as
that OF the rarest bird, and as sweet as
seems possible in this vale of tears and
human error.
Prof. Stanton was the highest type of
the Christian gentleman, student and
philosopher. His research did not stop
with his favorite topic. but went into
all the deeper problems of human life
and manifested itself daily in his touch
with the student body of Bates College,
and his intercourse with men. He was
a rare. sweet character, who will be
missed as few men are.

BARRACKS of Death"

A Rome dispatch says: 1T has been
established that the Austrian COM
mand has called to our front the last
Austrian class Of 1900, which was ex
rected to ne called only in April. The
Austrian press deplores the low per-
centage Of able bodied troops among
this last class.
SloVak newspapers are protesting
against the extremely hard work i'm
posed upon the Slavic people and state
that the barracks Of Vienna have be-
come barracks Of death. Tho news
papers add that many youths seven
teen years old who were found fit for
military service a year ago have either
died or are at present in hospitals, at
fected with tuberculosis, for which the
.nsufflciency and quality OF food are
said to be responsible"
Lack Of food will lose the war-let's
raise it, and save it, and share 1t, and
refuse to drink it in useless intox-
tcants. Let US see to 1t that there are
no barracks Of death" in this country
or among our allies.
The greatest force that America can
send against her enemies in the first
IL months, is the food embargo on
supplies to neutrals that find their
way into Germany and Austria.
