 Mutinous sailors are in control of most of the units of the German navy. Wireless messages picked up are urging the sailors to defend the country against this unheard of pre- sumption," and they may risk battle against the allied fleets rather than surrender.

 Hanged m ENIgD Here

Ex-Kaiser Bill died an awful death in Newport yesterday. He was first paraded through the streets and barely escaped death at the hands of seething mobs before his person was delivered to the legal site of execution. Not only did he die, but he was shot to pieces and burned at the stake, a great many persons contributing a bullet to his mangled carcass or ex- ecuting war dance around the ex- rulers bier.
 This was only one enjoyable feature of great program of celebration that continued throughout the day and in which nearly ten thousand persons took part. The big noise started at eight o'clock in the morning minute after it was officially announced that Germany had signed the amistice terms of the allies. The celebration continued late into the night.
 At ? o'clock the biggest parade ever formed in Newport took shape at the county court house, led, by school children. The procession was more than mile long, and was brought to a halt near the Iron

FIGHTING POULTRY DISEASES
Be on .he Offensive at All Times

Washington, Oct. 21-Poultry rails
ers who Wal: until disease appears in
the flock and then prepare to make
defensive attack are likely to be sue
cessful only in rare cases. By far the
best plan, say poultry specialists of
the United States Departmnt of Ag-
riculture, is to care for the flock in
such away that disease will not APP
pear. The aim in controlling the dis
ease Of poultry is, they add, to learn
how to prevent them rather than how
to cure them. To enlighten poultry
owners as to the characteristics of
the more important diseases in order
that they may intclligently use the
most improved methods of combating
them, Farmers Bulletin 957, "Impor-
tant Poultry Diseases" has recently
been published by the Department.
The causes, symptoms and treatment
of poultry ailments, from aspergil-
losis (brooder pneumonia to worms,
are given III this publication.

SHAPE OF HEAD
That Determines Your Ability as {
Singer

Los Angeles, Oct. pa method
of testing the ability of any person
to sing, without seeing him OF even
hearing him, has been devised by
Theophilus Fitz of this city, recently
director of music in the State Teach
er5' College of Colorado. This meth
cd, which Professor Fitz says is his
contribution to science" is based up
on d series of measurements of the
head cavities that he declares he has
worked down to exact mathematics.
He does not find it necessary to see,
touch or hear the subject, as his work
which he terms ''voice diagnosis" has
become as definite to him as mathe-
MATES. All he asks is that certain
measurements of the head be taken
correctly.
After learning these measurements
and the sex of the subject, he makes
his own calculation as to the size and
shape of the head cavities and an
nounces whether the subject, if girl,
is a soprano or contralto, and if a
youth, whether he should sing the
role of basso or of tenor robusto.
mamie often sings soprano just
because Susie does, although she
ought to be singing contralto," says
Professor Fitz. "And Bill insists up
on singing bass, because he thinks it
is manly, when he really ought to be
a tenor"
Persons with round heads make the
best singers, he says, because their
head cavities are the most symmetri-
cal; those with long heads come next
and those with oval Uranium rank
last.
"It's nonsense" he says. "for peo-
pie to pass four or five years study
ing music, to ascertain whether they
can sing and if so, what part, when
by this method, they can obtain such
decision Immediately"

CANADA TAKES CENSUS
To Learn How Many Men Want to
go on Farms

To Learn How Many Men Want to
go on Farms
The "back to the land" movement
for disabled soldiers in Canada is
being handled by the Department of
Soldiers Civil Reestablishment
through a census of the soldiers, with
I view to ascertaining their occupa-
tons and future ambitions. About
100000 cards have already been OBJ
tanned and are being analysed in or
der that the government may know
the magnitude of the problem.
Among the questions asked of the
soldiers were the following:
How many men wish to go on the
land? In what Provinces they wish
to settle? How many can go back to
positions which are being held open
for them? How many have trades or
professions? How many wish to re-
turn to Provinces other than those
from which they enlisted? How many
are young and single? How many
have family ties? How many under
each trade heading want to go to
each Province?
The farm problem is one that has
been carefully considered in Canada,
but one difficulty has arisen, in the
desire of the men to obtain land in
fairly we'll developed communities in
stead of being shipped into remote
places. Most of the land most readily
available is owned by railway COM
panies, and one faction in Canadian
politics believes that this should be
released for the returned soldiers.
