MONTPELIER GAINS
More Patients Being Discharged

Montpelier, Oct. 8-Conditions APP
pear to be more favorable in Mont
pelier relative to the grip epidemic,
in spite of the fact that there were
six deaths during last night, but the
physicians state they are discharging
more patients than they are accepting
which is indications that the condit-
ion must be improving. There is
some suggestion of an autopsy being
performed on some of the bodies to
ascertain the action of the disease,
which caused nearly everyone to turn
black, especially around the heart.

Shall They Give in Vain

The Star Spangled Banner is waving
in France,
Is fighting, and dying, and winning
the cause,
And thrice has it called for broad
sword and lance,
For grim is the struggle with never a
pause.
o long may it wave! Where the
hosts arc enrolled
To fight for the right, it is ever I'M
furled.
Wen forge it a weapon of silver and
gold
That will Danish the Brute and his
lust from the world
Der the land of the free has the call
Numbered forth:
"Sweet Freedoms in peril! To arms!
To the fray!"
And the sons of the south and the
sons of the north
Are singing and cheering, and
marching away.
And the home of the brave must be
steady and true,
The combat is mortal, and grievous
the pain;
They are giving their manhood for
me, and for you:
For lack Of our money, shall they
give in vain?

GREAT DRY DOCK
Naples to Have the Largest in the
Mediterranean

Plans have been completed for the
construction of the greatest dry
dock in the Mediterranean, which will
be located in Neples. Government
DEGREES have been signed which au-
thoriZe the construction of this dry
dock, and also for the industrial port
of Baia-Averno. This plan is of
gigantic nature, and is another ex-
ample of the wonderful industrial
awakening in Italy. Besides the con-
struction of the dry-docks, the plans
include the transformation of the
lake of Averno for the use of vast
ship-yards, the plans of which are
already under consideration, and
which will have the advantage of
having large tract of land in the
neighborhood that will be dedicated
strictly to industrial purposes. AL
so, one of the most daring measures
of the plan is the construction of a
canal of communication between the
lake and the port of Naples proper,
and its dry-docks. The estimated
cost for the work is 50,000,000 lire,
of which the Government will pay
in a period covering fifty years the
sum of 100000 lire. The plans are
subject, amongst others, to the con-
dition that work will be actually I'M
der way within six months of the
official date of the declaration of
peace Also that in so years the en-
tire works, docks, machinery, etc,
will automatically become Govern
ment property.

SEVERE TESTS

"Ring- Tailed Snorters' Only
Admitted; Moral Courage,
Loyalty, Citizenship and
War Work Tests.

Oaths OF secrecy deep and pro-
found are sworn to by the thousands
of candidates who each year pass
through the Ak-Sar- Ben initiation at
the old coliseum in North Twentieth
street.
Prompt and terrible is the punish
ment which is meted out to the I'M
lucky wight who should presume to
reveal the exact nature of the test,
ing fire through which he has passed
on his way to membership in the
famous order.
Although an exact description of
the complicated details of the initia-
ton of the neophytes would in it.
self defeat the object of the initia-
ton, yet any account the general
character of the initiation and its
main objects may not be amiss.
Thorny Path.
!. Many obstacles along the way
must be overcome before the initiate
Is judged worthy of progressing on
his journey from the realms of this
mundane existence to the lands of
immortality and Joy which are his
as member OF the order. His physi-
cal courage is tested by ordeals
which are calculated to bring terror
50 the most stout-hearted; his char
Acter is subjected to searching
analysis; his moral courage is put to
the test in the fame which purihes.
\ Tests sal ere courage Of candidates
have been regular feature of initia-
tons since the days when the candi-
dates for the priesthood of Isis in
old Egypt passed through a series
of ordeals lasting from six months
to two years. No less thrilling are
the physical ordeals through which
the candidates seeking admission to
Ak-Sar-Ben are subjected, although
they last but one night.
He May Live.
If the candidate passes through
the tunnel, dark as the gates of
Sheol and reaches safely the mys-
ferrous cave where Aeolus, the god
of the winds, has loosed at one time
the winds from the four corners of
the heavens which he has had con-
fined in his bag. the candidate may
feel that the worst of his trials are
over. But they have just begun.
If his weight is up to standard,
If he makes a good target for a
skilled marksman, he has still to
undergo ordeals more excruciating
He may yet~have to go over the top
land come out beneath-or to lie
prone while wild beasts of the jun
gle tread over his PROSTATE form.
If he proves worthy, the supreme
honor of riding the most vicious
goat in existence may yet be his.
But the initiation has its serious

provoking side. The oaths which
bind him to his fellow members

the candidate which is calculated to
