An Isolated Island.

The last and most isolated Of the
Polynesians is Easter island. It lies
1900 miles westward of the coast of
Chile. its nearest neighbor being Pit
EARN island. 1,40O miles further west.
1t is small. only As square miles in
area, and volcanic, the surface being
formed of lava of comparatively re-
cent eruption. Hence the strange lack
of vegetation SO curiously at varf-
ance with tropical climate. Grass
grows on it, however. and it is for that
reason largely given up to the raising
of sheep and cattle.
Easter island was discovered nearly
two hundred years ago by the Dutch
Admiral Roggeveen, who cast anchor
there ON an Easter Sunday, whence it
derived it's name. He found Ii more
largely populated than it is now. But
he and his crew must have seen and
marveled at its bold rock-sculpture, its
terraces and walls its picture writ
ings. Many Of these. indeed, rival the
world-famous relics of Mexico and
Peru, while they are strangely akin to
them in conception and design.

CHICAGO, March 2.-Witnesses to-

ties of the present plants. The wit

wage arbitration hearing.
Chester Churchill, advisory super
intendent OF Swift & Co., admitted,
in reply to questions by Judge
Ischuler, that the wages paid COM
mon labor by the packer are lower
than the average paid by other large
employers.
Letters introduced yesterday and
read before Examiner B. NJ. Manley
of the commission by Francis ].
Heney, its counsel, touched many
subjects and concerned such widely
separated items as the Argentine
labor troubles, leaky cans of corn
beef, specifications for army and

and toilet articles and the quality
of a large consignment of hams re

WASHINGTON, March 2.-0n
April 6, the first anniversary of the
United States entry into the war,
the third Liberty Loan will open.
There will be a campaign of three or
four weeks.
In announcing the date, Secretary
McAdoo said the amount of the
loan. the interest rate and other fea-
lures, such as convertlbility of bonds
of previous issues, maturity and
terms of payments, are to be deter
mined, and that new legislation will
be necessary before plans can be
completed.
The fact that the amount OF the
loan is dependent on further legisla-
tion indicates that 1t will be for
more than 3,60O.0O0,00O, the re-
mainder of authorized but unissued
bonds, and the fact that certificates
of indebtedness now being sold in
anticipation Of the loan bear AZ per
cent interest affords some indication
Of the rate.
How large the loan shall be de-
pends largely, however, on the fate
OF the pending war finance bill
