Best I'm Five
Southern States

NASHVILLE, Dec. 15.--"The Ten
ncssee hospitals for the insane lead
those in all the five southern states
in my territory" was the statement
of Major J. G. Ballard, surgeon in the
United States public health service
after a careful investigation of the in
stitutions in the states of the south
eastern department.
This statement was made concern
ing the Tennessee hospitals while Ma
jor Ballard was in Memphis recent
ly, according to Louis Il. Pope of the
board of control, Saturday.
Major Ballard has just completed
an investigation Of the hospitalsof all
the southern states on account Of the
fact that the government has formu-
lated a plan for sencfng the men
whose minds were affected by the late
war, to institutions near their homes
and before this could be done these
institutions had to meet government
requirements. Those or Tennessee
were accepted for this work and it Is
expected that government patients
will soon be placed in each of the
state institutions.

BERLIN. by Mail l.)--There is
honor among thieves.
One Herr Dulak of Frankfurt who
signed himself professional burglar"
sent the following letter ito the
Frankfurter Generalanzieger:
with great surprise | read Fri
day in your valued sheet under the
title, The usual burglary, of a break
ing and entering in Of a dwelling in
Wolfgangstreet. You write of cash
that was apparently stolen out Of the
money chest.
Therefore call your attention to
the fact that | broke into the chest,
but that to my great astonishment
and to the shame Of the owner there
was not red heller therein. ] ask
you to publish this in order to avoid
any unjust claim against the insur1
ance company.
Respectfully, Dulak, professional

are resigned. ito the fate predicted by

C. f. Marvin, chief of the United
States Weather Bureau, in an official
states there Is no
ground for expecting any extraordi-
nary happenings at this time
Mr.. Marvin advises the public to
Contemplate these direful prognos-
tications with entire equanimity."
'Tn view of the numerous recent
instances Of the publication In the
daily press Of the Alarming predic-
tions Of severe atmospheric and other
disturbances to occur between the
seventeenth and the twentieth Of the
present month";" Mr.. Marvin explains
in the bulletin, "and of the many in
uuiries in relation thereto received
by the Weather Bureau, it is deemed
proper to state that there is no scien-
tifc foundation whatever for the
weather predictions referred to-.
The conjunction of certain planets
and their consequent supposed infiu-
ence on the sun; on which the predic-
tions all obstensibly based have oc-
Cured, before without any unusual
conditions resulting, and there is no
ground for expecting any extraordi-
nary happenings at this time. The
public is advised therefore to contem-
plate these direful representations
with entire cquanimity."
1t has been rumored. in Washington
that few war workers, believing in
"the end of the world" rumor, have
planned to return to their home towns
before Wednesday in order that they
might die with their families.

Would Bore Twelve
Miles Into Earth

LONDON, Dec. 15.---lhe boring of
hole twelve miles ceep into the
earth's crust is advocated by Sir
Charles Parsons, inventor Of the ma
rine turbine engines, as means of
tapping possible new sources of pow
er and energy. Sir Charles estimates
such ain undertaking would cost $42,-
100000 and require eighty-fve years
to complete. The whole would be
worth the price, he says, in the inter
est of science.
Sir Charles cited .he ooreholes sunk
in the volcanic districts of Italy and
the cheap power obtained at the
small town of Lardello from the vol
canic steam.
The DEEPEST hole yet made in the
earth was bored this summer, when a
depth of 1879 feet was reached in
Virginia in an attempt to strike oil.
At that point the dril; stuck and the
cable parted Fishing" for the end
was unsuccessful, an the tools and
1000 feet of cable had to be left in
the hole, which was abandoned. Near
ly three years had been spent on the
boring, and this was the second mis-
fortune OF the same sort that has
overtaken the same company.

He Confessed Being
Thief to Save Life


NEW YOltK, Dec. l5.-- Brutal
treatment and even deliberate tor
ture Of enlisted men of the expedi-
tionary forces are charged against
Karl W. Deter. formerly command,
ing officer Of the Three Hundred and
Eighth Military Police Company,
whose trial by court-martial opened
at Governors Island last week.
The evidence was expected to be
as sensational as III the trial Of Lieut.,

who now are serving prison sentences
for brutality to American soldiers
in Paris.
Capt. Detzer appeared before the
court in uniform, wearing two gold

appeared unmoyed as the charges
were read and I'd each Of the twenty

ger assault two soldiers while he was
there, neither Of whom offered any

said that he camd into the room while
Warner was standing at attention and
did not protest against the action of
Sergt. Hoyt and Madden, who guard
ed Warner.
In reply to questions by the de-
fendant's counsel, Roth denied that
he felt bitter toward Detzer, but said
that he did not like the tactics employ
ed in Detzer's command and succeed
ed in being transferred to another
outfit.
