Captain M. d. Mills, of Seattle,

York on the transport Federal, after
being greeted down the bay by a
band on the official boat Patrol,

No one could explain why a 10000

aboard should be allowed to leave
Antwerp with a solitary soldier under
orders to sail on that boat. All the
commanding officers knew was that
they had been given their sailing

Kipling once wrote, they simply car

Stole Thirty Autos
In Four Months Time

For four months Sidney Meredith,
an attractive musician Of twenty
two, dressed like a prince and threw
money to the winds in fashionable
hotels on the $4,000 to $4,000 a week
he acquired through the dar-
ing theft of automobiles in London.
He finally came TO grief, however,
and has been sentenced to three
years Imprisonment.
Meredith has thorough driving
knowledge of cars and this, with his
appearance, was his stock in trade.
He would not attract attention as
he climbed into a big car standing
In front Of curb or hotel and drive
away, and he confined himself large
ly to this method. He confessed, the
police say, to stealing thirty ma
chimes in the four months he OPP
Grated.
Meredith is alleged to have said
that he sold each car quickly to a
syndicate of wealthy men whom he
believes often made from 400 to 700
per cent profit after repainting the
machines and otherwise changing
their appearance. He declined to di-
vulge their identity.

Boil WeeviI Playing
Havoc in Muscogee

COLUMBUS, Ca, June 12.-Boll
weevils are spreading all over Mus
cogee and adjoining counties, and
the pests are already playing havoc
with young cotton squares, according
to Farm Demonstration Agent Jen-
kins, of Muscogee, who declares that
tn situation is rather gloomy for the
FARMERS of this immediate section.
The weevils are thriving on the
squares, Mr.. jenkins says, and they
are multiplying at an alarming rate
all over the county. The mild win
ter and the rainy spring is respon-
sible for the appearance of the cot
ton pests in such large numbers, in
the opinion of the farm agent, who
declares that many of the insects
now operating in the cotton fields
long to last years crop of the pests.
With the grass gaining ground on
the farmers due to the recent long
wet spell, and the weevils operat-
ing so perststently and so PERM
ciously, the planters of the county
are quite blue at this time

Cost One Million Dollars
To "HOD" Across Ocean

It cost $1,OO0,OO0 to make the
transatlantic ''hop" by which
America secured the honor Of be-
ing the first to make the air voy-
age across the seas.
United States officials figure that
the planes and equipment cost
$4,000 each and that the research
work brings the cost to $250,00O
To these figures must be added
the cost of the destroyer patrol
that safeguarded the trip, which
makes a total Of $1,0000,000 spent.
However, the cost of the, de-
stroyer patrols is largely one Of
bookkeeping, as the boats would
have been in operation somewhere
If they had not been guarding
the ocean route for the flyers.

by the lower classes.
A new variation Of narcotic usage

The original campaign against opium
