GREEKS EXPlA|N
YANKEE ARRESTS

SALONIkI-P Premier Venizelos
and General Paraskevopoulos, COM
mander in chief OF the Greek army,
have offered regrets and apologies
to George Horton, the American
counsel general here, for the I'M
warranted arrest of DR.. John Henry
House, of Ohio, superintendent of
the American Missionary school {;
Rev. William c. Cooper, of Illinois,
and Rev. William Paine Clark, pro-
fessors in the institution.
The charges on which the arrests
were made were entered by Bull
garian informer. and the arrests
were by order of a subordinate
military official. AS soon as the
matter was taken TO the attention
of the authorities by Mr.. Horton, the
accused were released, and an in
vestigattion ordered by General Par
askeyopulous proved the charges,
which had been characterized by
Horton as ridiculous and fantastic"
to be absolutely baseless.
The Rev. Mr.. Cooper was charged
with transmitting information to
the Germans through Mrs. Cooper's
sister who was then resident of
Switzerland, and with obtaining en-
ployment for Bulgarian woman
as cook in an American consulate,
in order that she might steal papers
10 importance and take them to
him at the school. "....@
The informant also declared that
he had overheard Dr.. House say
he had positive information that
Macedonia was to be given TO Bull,
garia when the peace treaty was
signed. When this information was
given to the Greek authorities they
ordered the arrest of all persons
with Bulgarian affiliations.

NEWS RECEIVED OF
MORLEY RIVER STRIKE

The following telegram was re-

Burns of Nenana, a we'll known
mining man, from Charles R.

GOATS TO THE RESCUE

Goats are to be given a thorough
trial by the government as forest
fire preventers, according to an
nourcement by r. H. Charlton. sup
ervisor of the Angeles National
Forest. Four hundred goats are TO
be turned loose along the fire
breaks in the San Bernardino noun
tains this summer.
The owner of the goats, W. H.
Moore, Of Tucson, Ariz., will be al
lowed to Craze the goats for a nom
inal sum. They are to be tried out
between Caion Pass and Oak Glenn
and il the supply of weeds and
grasses proves insufficient for the
goat appetite, the herd will be gwen
wider opportunity.
There is no young timber in the
section in which the goats will be
allowed to Craze, said Mr.. Charlton,
and consequently it is felt that they
can do no harm, If by keeping
the fire breaks clean OF the under
growth that frequently causes fires
they prevent single blaze in the
dry season, the experiment will have
been fully justified in his opinion.
Mr.. Charlton three years ago in
troduced some goats into the re-
serve, but they were not herded, he
said, and wandered away one by
one. One by one they met death,
until practically all are gone. The
1919 herd is to be carefully guarded.

PROHIBITION IN HAWAII

Nationwide prohibition viii bring
no new problems to Hawaii, for the
entire territory has been .'bone dry"
by act of congress since midnight
of August 20. 1918. Conditions
have already been fully readjusted
10 meet the new regime and the
liquor business in the islands has
been entirely liquidated.
On the island of Oahu, the United
States army maintains one of its
largest garrisons and Oahu was
made dry by presidential proelama,
ton, as a war measure, on April
10, 1918. The act Of congress
bringing prohibition to the entire
territory provided for a plebiscite
on the question at any regular cleo,
ton within two years after the
close of the war. Hopes Of the anti,
prohibitionists that Hawaii would
vote liquor back were blasted by
ratification of the prohibition amend
ment to the federal constitution.
The liquor trade in Hawaii dated
back to the arrival of the first
traders and whalers, who began to
visit the islands early in the last
century, following close upon the
discovery of the group by Captain
Cook in 177s, and it was firmly en-
trenched when the first missionaries
arrived from Boston in 1920.
Hawaii had its first experience
with prohibition over 80 years ago,
when King Kamehameha LII in 1888
issued a decree forbidding the i'm
portation of any liquor except light
wines. What effect, if any, this
edict had is not recorded in history

SUICIDES IN UTAH

In the matter of suicides, Utah
in 1915, had the lowest rate Of any
state in the union, according to sta
tisctics OF the state health Office
The percentage was 1877 per 100,-
600 of population. Even this record
was bettered in 1916 and 1917. when
the number per 100000 population
was lis and 10. respectively.
Credit for this low suicide rate
IS given in a large degree to the
'block-teacher" system Of the Nor
mon church. Utah's population IS
largely Mormon and visits by these
teachers" has been found an i'm
portant factor in preventing actions
due to lonesomeness and lack of
advisors
In each ecclesiastical ward of the
church are both ward teachers and
Relief Society teachers. Blocks, !"
approximiatng from SIX to twelve
homes within a ward. are visited
regularly by these teachers, both
men and women. Families are given
counsel in both religious, business
and family affairs when they desire
it. In this way, according to the
authorities of the church. these per-
sons of a morose disposition are
cheered, young mothers are advised
and numerous other matters taken
up that have proved OF benefit 10
all. In the advising of young
mothers. according to church stats
tics, it is claimed that the death
rate among young children is re-
markedly low among these who &C
cept counsel, the records showing
that ami average of only one in p
babies under one year of age die
annually.
While the teachers" are prin-
cipally for the purpose Of visit
ing and counseling members of the
church, the help is offered to Gen
tiles if they wish it. No one, in
GLIDING church members need be
visited if they do not wish it.

legislature has passed a special cleo
ton law which provides for special
