THIS PIPE HAS A HISTORY
Was Smoked by Sir Walter Raleigh,
Who First introduced Use of
Tobacco Into England.

A pipe with a history is in the pos
session of q collector in London which
was once the property of Sir Walter
Raleigh, and is not unlike the letter

been kept in an inlaid box dated "An-
no 1927" 1t is constructed in four
pieces of wood, rudely carved with

dams, On the bowl there is cap
about as large as the bowl itself, and
attached to the stem is string Of
beads made of the same wood as the
pipe. Ia this stem a powerful whistle
has been cut, and the suggestion is
made that Sir Walter used it to sum
mon his servants.
The Archaeological society exhibited
this pipe at Guildhall in the middle Of
the last century, the inscription accom-
panying 1t bearing these words: "The
original pipe of the above celebrated
historian of the world, and who first
introduced tobacco and potatoes into
England Tradition, corroborated by
a parchment in the possession of the
owner, states that this pipe was
smoked by Sir Walter on the scaffold
just before his execution and handed
to one OF his relatives as a memento
of him.

FIRST TEACHERS TO CHINA
Missionaries Followed the Close OF
the War With Great Britain
In 1945.

The first general attempt to intro
duce Christianity into China dates
from April "a, 1916, when the Chinese
government, following the disastrous
war with Great Britain, granted per
mission to foreigners to teach the
Christian religion. Missionaries from
many countries began Immediately to
flock to China, but in most places the
white devils" were received with hos
tility The Emperor Taou-Kwang,
who in the latter part of his reign
favored the Introduction of European
arts and religion, died in 1850, and
his son, Hieng-Fung, adopted reac-
tionary policy.
One of the odd results of the intro
duction of Christianity in China was
the appearance in 1851 of a rebel lead
er who called himself Tlen-teh, and
who announced himself as the restor-
er of the worship of the true god,
Shang-ti, and derived many of his dog
mas from the Bible. He called him
self the brother Of Jesus, the second
son of God and the monarch of all be-
meath the skies, and demanded uni
versal submission. His insurgent fol-
lowers called themselves Taepings, or
'Prince Of peace" but the title was
utterly belled by their atrocious deeds,

The occasional discovery of some
useful piece of knowledge that has
been thrusting itself under our very
noses for ages, and yet has escaped de-
lection, serves to emphasize the limi-
tations of the sum total of human
knowledge as compared to the still IN
solved mysteries of the universe, re-
marks the Los Angeles Times.
1t is a recent discovery, for example,
that the cactus plant contains an al
most invaluable heart stimulant. For

garded as practically useless for man
or beast SO far as could be determined
Then it was discovered that this plant
made excellent fodder for domestic
animals when shorn Of its spines; and
chemists found la the leaves q sub

Curiously enough, this substance does
not affect the lower animals as it does
human beings, and this fact led many
Investigators to question its potency
Most medical substances affect the
lower animals, or, ut least, some of
them. in much the same manner as
they affect human beings Cactus is an

imous vote the subcommittee of

that all bills on the calendar be
read in full in accordance with a

TRAINMEN TOO
WELL TREATED?
Head of Short Line Companies
Charges L. S. Control Hard on
Roads and FavOrs Workers.

Washington, June 3.-Discussion
of the railroad situation was begun
here today at a meeting called by
Representatives of the Short Lines
and to which officials of the trunk
lines and public men had been IN
vited. Especial attention was paid
to possible legislation affecting the
railroads. Speakers announced IN
cluded Director-General Hines,
Senator Cummins, Republican, of
iowa, and Underwood, Democrat, of
Alabama
Demand that railroad employees
submit to government regulations
as do the companies was made by
President Bride NJ. Robinson, of the
American Short Line Railway as
soclation.
While government regulation of
the carriers is expanded to the most
minute details" he said, 1.-The en-
pIoyes are left to exercise their own
sweet will, which they often do IN
a most autocratic way. Wage de-
maujs have absorbed already the
S1,O00,n50 rate increase which is
hcing paid by the public"
Calls Economy Demand Redicalous.
In view of the reckless extrav-
agance of the government in all its
business, Mr.. Robinson said, the
demand for railroad economy was
ridiculous" He denounced the
claim of $11S,00O,O0O saved in the
first year of government operation
as unjustif1ed and charged that IN
fact, government operation caused
a deficiency of s1,0O0.0O0 for every
day of the past 16 months.

PLAN TO SCRAP
TWELVE OF BIG
u. S. WARSHIPS
Giant Pre-Dreadnaught
Battleships, Now Obso-
lete, to Go.

Washington, June 3-Twelve
pre-dreadnaught battleships will be
relieved of active duty with the
feet and eventually broken up for
junk or used as targets for more
modern vessels under plans now
being worked out by the navy de-
mixed battery" type and are not
against latest fighting craft Four
of the battleships, the historic
squadron comprising the Oregon,
Indiana, Iowa and Massachusetts,
have already been relegated to the
scrap heap. The remaining eight,
apparently doomed to the same
fate, are the Kearsarge, Kentucky,
Illinois, Alabama, Wisconsin,
Maine, Missouri and Ohio.
Will Release Many Men.
The II vessels, built between
1898 and 1901, represent a total
expenditure for hulls and machin-
cry alone of more than ninety mil
lion dollars. When placed out of
commission, they will release for
other duty approximately 10000 en-
listed men and nearly 400 officers.
The ships were used during the
war with Germany as training
ships or coast defense units.
1t has been suggested that a num-
ber of the vessels could be well
utilized as coast defense units by
sinking them in shoal water at the
entrances to the more important
harbors, making them veritable
forts. 1t is possible that four of
them will be used for this purpose.
With these II ships stricken
from the navy register, the fleet
will comprise 40 dreadnaughts and
pre-dreadnaughts, % of them of
the most modern type and IL of
older class but still formid
able units, all of them of the "all
big gun" type of construction.
In addition to this powerful fleet
of 40 battleships, there are now
and under suspended
six cruisers planned
on a scale never before attempted
by any navy They will be $50 feet
in length estimated displacement,
50 900 tons, and will mount eight
16-inch guns. The contract speed
of these cruisers is 35 knots. Sec
retary Daniels has recommended
that construction be Immediately
resumed on these ships.

Paris, June 3-TwO changes
in the German peace terms,
one territorial and the other
financial, are being considered

came known today.
The financial question is the pos

would involve dissolution of the
allied financial commission to

There has as yet been no official
intimation of the date when the
allies will present their rejoinder
10 the German counter proposals.
1t is indicated in late advices that
there is a disposition on the part
of some of the members of the
council of four to modify certain
of the terms to which the Germans
have made the most emphatic OBJ
lection. Premier Clemenceau of
France is reported standing firmly
against any concessions to the
Germans. while Premier Lloyd
George is favorable to modifica-
tions Premier Orlando has taken
no decided stand and President
Wilson is reported as inclined to
leave the final decision to the
French and British.
Wilson COnferS With Aids.
President Wilson met the Ameri-
can experts at the Hotel de Crillon
this morning and discussed with
them the question of the replies to

reparatiOns and the economic
phases of the peace terms. The
meeting later developed into a gen

can delegation over the German
counter proposals.

There remained only eight na-

organization and overnight they
created their own parliments, their
own government and their own

pendent states. In the same way as
the other national states our new

the former be considered the sue
