Need for More consuIs.

The chairman of the shipping board
has called the attention of congress
and the people to the need of enlarg-
ing our consular. service abroad, in
view of the fact that our great mer-
chant marine will be released for use
in foreign trade.
Mr.. Hurley tells US, observes the In
dependent New York;, that the Uni
ted States will have 25.000,000 tons Of
merchant shipping by the end of 1920.
and that as fast as these ships can be
freed from military work they will en-
ter commerce. The present consuiates
would be entirely inadequate to handle
this enlarged business. There are not
enough of them, their STATS are too
small and they are handicapped by in
experience with duties that win be de-
manded and by antiquated regulations.
Even now the burden of work, espe-
cially in the way Of inquiries to be an
swered. is overtaxing the undermined
and underpaid, force. Mr.. Hurley
therefore pleads that immediate steps
be taken to remedy, the situation.
''We need more consuls and larger
consular STATS" he tells US. If we do
not provide them today and prepare
for the great growth in our merchant
marine and trade after the war. fear
that we shall suffer a serious break
down."

CAN'T GET BOOZE
DRINK VANILLAN
BOTTLESEREPORT
Good Use Suggested By Maine Incl
dent for Breweries to Be Dis
mantled Shortly

Gardiner, Me-, Jan. 23-Wholesale
consumption of vanilla extract has
proved the undoing- of Harry Draper,
who is now under 5000 bonds to await
Grand Jury action.
eDputy Sheriffs H. H. MeCausland,
Arthur G. Robinson and Chief of
Police Walter K. Wakefield visited
the Draper household and secured
evidence that the family were consid-
cradle users of vanilla According to
information secured by Deputy Sher-
if Robinson, Draper bought $1.20
bottle of vanilla extract yesterday af-
ternoon and soon after went for an
other bottle at the same store. The
clerk in charge refused to sell to him
but Mrs. Draper appeared short
tim after and had no trouble in
getting the extract. There were found
in.-t e house a barrel and half Of
empty vanilla bottles, representing
over 5000 worth of the extract.
Before Judge Atkins, Draper made
a strong denial of ever selling drink
ables. He told of the practice OF
drinking the vanilla and using Unt
beer as a chaser.

SURVIVORS OF FEUDAL TIMES
Prussian Junkers Rooted in Their Be-
lief of Their Complete Superiority
to Ordinary Man.

A junker is a member of a noble
Prussian family. who belongs to the
landed aristocracy, and. as a rule,
adopts the profession Of arnsd and
enters the caste circle Of the officer
corps. Thanks to the survival of feud-
alism in the organization of German
society. the term has acquired broad
er significance. Hence. as commonly
used today it indicates a narrow-mind-
ed. arrogant, and. often. bellicose men,
Der of the aristocracy.
Since 1862, when, under the leader
ship Of Bismarck, the aristocratic
party came into political power. the
term has been applied to those who
bold reactionary views. because they
desire to preserve intact the eXclu-
sive social, military and political privi-
leges belonging additionally to the
"well born"
Junkerism and. junkerdom indicate
the policies aud the customary round
of ideas, judgments, and prejudices
characteristic of the junker class.
They have been and still are of
great influence. for they have affected
Prussian domestic policies by their; or
ganized efforts to preserve and pro-
tect large landed estates; they have
nodded German. social life by their as
sumption of complete superiority to
the ordinary man. especially to the
man who engages In trade or manu-
features. while the Prussian officer
corps has. taken its distinctive tone
from their naughty aloofness from the
civilian population.

LUNC IN HOLY CITY
american Resident Of Jerusalem
for Many Years.
M. NJ. Whelan First to Welcome Brit
isl7 Troops When They Entered
Was Representative There
of the Bible Society,"

Although tits q year since Allen6Ss /
victorious army entered Jerusalem. |
and the greatest Christian shrine IN /
the world was wrested forever from /
the clutches of the infidel Turk. one OF |
the most striking episodes of all those |
that marked that entry has only re-
Gently become known.
To Americans this. episode is OF /
especial interest, SINCE it came as the
climax of perhaps the most picturesque
of all the many services that nave
been rendered by the allied nations. !
and to humanity generally, by indlyld-
ual Americans, from Gerard and Brand /
Whitlock down, since the beginning OF
the war.
For nearly three years. or from
early in 1915 until the deliverance OF
Jerusalem in December, 1917, one of I
the oldest and most famous of British
organizations remained in unblissful
ignorance as to what had become OF
its depot" in the Holy City. This or
ganization is the British and Foreign
Bible society, which like its great sis
ter organization in the United States,
exists for the purpose of distributing
the Good Book among Christians in
every part of the world.
In February, 1915, or soon after
Turkey threw in her lot with the CEN
trail powers, the Bible society's depot
in. Jerusalem, which contained many
thousands of volumes, had to be ADAM
doned hastily. The workers there
were brought to Egypt on an American
warship From that day until quite re-
Gently nothing whatever was known re-
| garding the fate of the depot or its
/ contents It was assumed that both
had probably been destroyed by the
| Turks But then came a letter from
the society's secretary at Port Said in
| closing one from the commander of
the London Scottish, the first British
regiment to enter the Holy City. In
this officers letter the striking story
was told of how a venerable American
/ resident Of Jerusalem, by name M. NJ
Whelan, came forward spontaneously
after the abandonment of the Bible
society's depot, took up his residence
therein and courageously "carriel on
as its custodian.
sit may interest you to know" this
officer wrote, that as entered Jeru-
salem with the first troops, was met
by a quaint old American, named Whe-
Ian, seventy years of age, who told me
he represented the Bible society, and
presented me with beautiful copy Of
) the Scriptures"
Beyond the fact that NJ. M. Whelan
is a naturaliZed Irish citizen of the
United States, and that he had been
living in Jerusalem for several years
before the war, little is known by the
Bible society at present regarding the
: picturesque character to whom 1t owes
so great a debt Of gratitude. 1t is not
even known from what part of the
United States he comes. The society
has, however, received photograph
of it's venerable American benefactor
which shows him to be truly patri'
archal type.

TWO MORE MAD DOGS SHOT

Returning from town last Friday
night about 1880 Bert Mcdonald and
Walter Timer passed shepherd dog
that was acting queerly.. The animal
apparently was in an advanced stage
of rabies, for it ran into trees and
other distractions that lay in it's path.
Nightwatchman Hange was notified
and he located the canine in front Of
the Baptist church, taking pot shot
at him with a large revolver. The
bullet missed it's mark, however, and
Hange followed the dog to north
street, where two more shots were
fired. Then Mcdonald tried his hand
with the revolver, but with no better
success.
Fred Eckhart, hearing the shots,
grabbed the village shot gun and made
his way to North street, where the
dog was located on the porch of the
Ritter home. Here it took some coax
ing to get the animal into position
where he could be finished with the
shot gun.
Earlier the same >evening hound
belonging to M. E. Charlton on S.
Vine street was seen acting in a pc
culiar manner and DR., Wise advised
his execution. The latter dog had
not left the Charlton home in the
past two months, but evidently had
been bitten by one Of the dogs which
recently terrorized the village.

MAN PERFECTS SLEIGH

Dan Pelton is in receipt of pictures
and circulars describing an auto sleigh
designed for travel in Alaska, which
was invented and brought to a high
state of perfection by former Me-
dina county boy, F. G. Horner, who
claims Lodi as his home.
The sleigh is designed to carry pas
sengers and freight through the snow
at a speed of rs miles an hour. 1t
has four wheels, which run on the
same principal as the caterpillar
tractor.
"A number Of years ago the inven-
tor came to Medina and secured finan-
cial backing for his project. Moth
ing was heard from him until about
year ago when he returned to Me-
dina with working model of the ma
chine. He returned to Alaska and has
demonstrated the worth Of the new
invention.
A company called the Alaska Auto
Sleigh Co. has been formed and will
place this new machine on the mar
ket for commercial use.
