Peculiar Phenomena.

Many people witnessed very un-
last Saturday evening between six
and seven O'Clock. At first there
were three or four very bright spots
north and south of the sun which
looked like the sun dogs occasionally
seen in the eastern sky early in the
morning during the winter. After a
while four rainbows were visible high
in the. sky, the peculiar thing about
from the usual rainbow, being up-
side down, the ends pointing up
wards instead of toward the earth.
1t was a beautiful sight. and cloud
between the sun and the earth was
the cause of it, although no rain fell

it would bring financial loss. The
stock held by Collier is said to be
valued at $4,000, The meeting, so

about where it began.
An effort win be made, if Collier
does not dispose of the holdings be-

holders can take up the stock in small
blocks.

FORMER Student
At n. N. NJ. |. IS
NOW INSTRUCTOR
Graduate in the Class of 1905
Returns As Professor Of
Military Science and lac
tics; Is Native Son,


Roswell, N. NJ, Aug 30.-The New
Mexico Military institute now has the
distinction Of having detailed by the
war department, one of her own
graduates as professor military sci
ence and tactics.
Mai f. A. Lehman, United States
cavalry, was graduated from the in
stitute in the class of 1905. He after
wards served as an assistant professor
and commandant OF cadets. In 1911
Major Lehman was appointed an Of
ficer in the United States army and
has served with distinction both in the
United States, Hawaiian islands and
on the Mexican border. Just before
coming to the institute to take up his
duties in training the cadets, he was
in command of a large remount sta
ton at Camp Upton, New York.
Major Lehman is not only a grad
uate of the institute but is a native
son of New Mexico. He was born at
Las Cruces he lived in that town un-
til he entered the New Mexico Mill
tary institute at Roswell; his mother
still has her home in Las Cruces.
The alumni of the institute are taxi
ing much pride in the fact that one
of their number is now the representa-
tive of the war department at New
Mexico's Military institute. Last win
ter Governor Larra2olo established q
precedent by appointing two members
of the alumni as regents, Hon, Luis r,
Armijo of Las Vegas and Lieut.. A.
Luna Bergere of Santa Fe. Now the
war department is also considerable
enough to elect an alumnus as their
representative. AS the institute grows
stronger and as its alumni becomes
better known, it is to be hoped that
all positions of Importance in regard
to the administration of the school
will be placed in their hands.
Major Lehman did service with the
New Mexico national guard He was
one of the efficient young officers who
assisted General Brooks in arranging
the details for the national guard
camp at Las Vegas and in California.
AS a military man he is not surpassed,
and he has the advantage of speaking
both the English and the Spanish lam
guage. Major Lehman reported for
duty to the superintendent of the in
stitute Monday, Agust IS. He will be
in entire command of the military
work, and in case the war department
finds it possible to establish cav
airy unit, Major Lehman will be ready
to take charge of this work as we'll as
the infantry.

MORMONS LIKELY
To GET CON- R0L!
FROM METH0DISTS
Thousand Island Park Camp
Ground Owned by Corpora
tionl Stock of Which is
Sought by Latter Day Saints
(From a staff Correspondent of the
World)

Thousand Island Park, n. Y, Aug.
29.-Whether Mormon influence is to
govern the future of this Methodist
summer camp is agitating the church
folk who make this island of the st.
Lawrence river their summer home.
At a meeting last night of property
owners it was definitely stated that
the Mormon interests represented by
Ii. p. Munson, an elder of the Church
of the Latter Day Saints in Brooklyn,
had been negotiating for a block of
stock held under option by Charles
Collier, an attorney of Toronto.
This stock, representing 60 per cent
of the outstanding stock of the Thou
sand Island Park corporation, is
owned by e. T. Shepard of Syracuse,
who is president of the corporation.
Under the option held by Collier he
will control the disposition of the
stock until the option expires on Octo-
Der |. In the meantime the Methodist
interests are doing everything in their
power to prevent the stock from going
into the hands of Elder Munson, act
ing for the Mormon church.
This gem of the Thousand ISLAND
region has been under the control of
the Methodist church for nearly fifty
years. There is large auditorium
where Methodist services are held.
The park proper on Wellesley Island
has nearly 500 cottages holding O
summer population of about $500,
mostly Methodists,
President shepard, who is elderly
some time ago turned over his hold
ings to Collier who told Mr.. Shepard,
it is said, that he intended to resell
the stock in small blocks to the cot
tagers.
Why this plan fell through is not
apparent, but 1t has been learned by
the Methodists that Munson has been
in communication with Collier for the
stransfer of the stock which would give
the Mormon church influence contro
of this park for years.
The meeting was acrimonious in ex.
IRENE, the lie being passed between
President Shepard and Professor Hill
of the department of education, AL
bany, a cottage holder. President
Shepard declared that Hill always hac
kick, and, stating that he did no
mean to be mean, declared it had beer
necessary to take up public subscrip
ton to pay for the laying of an ex'
tension of pavement in front of Pro
fessor Hills property.
'The statement Is lie" cried Hill
jumping from his seat.

of central Europe has disappeared.
The only thing that the people of
those regions understand IS a club. If
we had allowed the Hapsburg govern
ment to remain in power we would
have had the same thing in Vienna
and elsewhere within a few weeks
The Americans who came in hundreds
of thousands into this war would have
fought in vain if we We're to allow
the military autocracies TO come
back
Another step has been taken by the
supreme council in the effort TO fur
tner cub Rumanian acquisitions on
hungary The Preparations commits
sion has drawn up note in which the
eumanians are warned that if such
lrequisitions continue they shall not
share in The indemnity demanded in
the German and Austrian treaties, OF
this indemnity the Rumanians expect
Cd quite large amount, some say as
much as so per cent.
In addition TO this the commission
has decided to make an inventory of
all material Communicated and car
ried off by Rumania. This becomes
an easy matter, because the bridge
connecting the two countries over
which the material would pass was
broken during the war and the
greater part of the requisitioned ma
terial is still within the Hungarian
border.
The fact that Archduke Joseph was
ordered to quit the regency gives gem
eral satisfaction here. but President
Wilson's opponents again censure the
allied governments for yielding to
American views.
"Pertinax' in the militaristic Echo
de Paris says:
"Our American friends, who with
| out doubt took leading part in what
| has happened, are guided by the
thought that democracy means peach
and that the institution of a demo-
cratic regime at Budapest will for
even break the spirit of revenge
When Archduke Joseph took the reins
| of governmcnt-with the help of tile
British mission in Vienna, we are told
the American delegates were nego-
| tiating with Budapest syndicates and
with Peidll and his friends, among
whom were Bolsheviki. This is where
they wanted to lead the United
| States"
Rene Daral. in the Gaulois. is
| equally bitter, ana points out tna'
when Bella Kun ruled Hungary the
allies hesitated to take the step
which was to rid central Europe OF
Bolshevism. Daral says
Their desire to humor the Amerl-
cans and the socialists overcame then
desire for the common security. Now
they dare not say they are greatly II
favor of Bella Kun. but they do not
want Joseph. Furthermore. they
stated that they would not accept the
expression of popular sentiment as
long as Joseph was in power. This is
what is called respect for the liberty
of the peoples and the right OF ma
ton to choose its own government.
The socialists hail with delight the
overthrow of Hapsburg. but they
cannot refrain from attacking Pre-
mier Celemenceau and the French
military mission because Archduke
Joseph attained power.
| The brief comment in Humanite
the socialist organ, consists of an APP
peal to the working classes to wake
| iIp and show themselves the real mas
tiers of the situation, just as their fel.
lows in Hungary have zone.

Paris, Aug. 29.-Herbert C. Hoover
the head of the allied relief adminis-

Budapest recently, if he thought the
Rumanans were willing to leave the
Hungarian capital. He answered
that they show no disposition to with
draw.
1t being limited that the Rumanan
army may be maintaining order in
Hungary, Mr., Hoover said; This,
perhaps, is true, but there is no need
for 1000 troops there where 1000
would do and the evacuation of the
other $4,000 could be carried out
quite peacefully"
Being asked what action the allies
ought to take, Mr.. Hoover answered:
The time has come to stop pussy
footing with affairs which are
loaded with fire, and we are going to
stop supplying food to Hungary as
long as the food is being taken out
to Rumania. i won't stand for the
Bolsheviki or the Hapsburgs. The

we're the direct cause of Archduke

that they had machine guns trained
