ANOTHER DOYLE THRILLER.

Without the assistance of his good friend, Dr. Watson. of Sherlock Holmes fame. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has set sail into the vast, mysterious beyond. where dwell spirits and spooks who struggle against the chains that prevent them from send ing messages to those left behind on this mundane sphere. Sir Arthur has long been an investigator of spirit ualism and in order to test the truth or faIsity of the theory he went to 8 small town in Wales where several competent witnesses attended in order to corroborate his story should any thing happen,
 The medium was Tom Thomas, d mine employe, who probably thought the learned folks from the city were engaged in new kind of game. First they sea rched Tom. They even looked in his shoes and found nothing but feet. Then they tied him to a chair so that he was deprived of the use of his legs and arms-and someone turned the lights low!

It is to their credit that they went to their posts when the commanding officer made the inn mediate situation clear to them and they will become more cheerful when they receive word that the entire force is to be withdrawn in June when the harbors are free of ice.

lured from up there" by singing So the assemhlage, which included the Chief Constable of Cardiff and the Justice of the peace, softly sang 8 number of hymns. Then the spirits began to cut up They threw things through the air and jazzed about to the ja da da of tambourine that had been laid at convenient spot on the sideboard. Mrs. Doyle comp latned of feeling chilly, so the spirits ruthlessly stripped Tom, without removing the ropes that bound him, and wrapped his coat around the lady. several ob- jects were thrown with such force as to strike the persons seated in the room. Fortunately a room Without a. piano or kitchen range had been se- lected or the casualty list might have been large.
 1|I. -. tAc proceedings, Tom in uuIred Has anyone been touched - difference between tho English touch and the American "touch.' Tom was not trying to be funny. Several as- serted that they had felt cold hands laid upon theirs. One of the rules or the game is that all in the room must hold hands. It's real nice game ana the hands are real hands, not five cards. Well, they had been touched and so the seance broke up because that was all that was necessary. The spirits had made their presence felt Q. E. D.
 When the lights had been turned up, the medium, Tom, was found to be in state of exhaustion, which is quite natural seeing that someone had taken his coat without the formality of begging his pardon or removing his bonds.
 Speaking of the demonstration, Sir Arthur says: "The Chief Constable of Cardiff was there and he was I be- 1ieve, amazed" No doubt about it. He was probab bly, wishing he could get to a telephone to call up Scotland Yard and have the house pinched.

WORK FOR SERV1CT, ,-ll....

Solicitous for the speedy rehabilita- ton of returning service men, The Herald has offered free space on it's classified advertising page to soldiers, sailors and marines who are in search of employment. It is hoped that wide use will be made Of the space and employers of labor are urged to per- use the column daily and to cooper ate in this endeavor to prove that the bravery and sacrifices of our military and naval forces are appreciated. Having removed the harness of war, the service men are anxious to resum e their former occupations or obtain new positions and The Herald is hap py at contributing to the consumma- tion of their desires. There is no charge of any nature.
 Another agency through which service men may secure employment expense is the New Britain branch of the Manufactu Association of Hartford County at g Myrtle street. The management of the branch in vites all returning soldiers, sailors and marines to register there and be gwen em ployment at the earliest opportun- ity.
 Secretary Brown of the manufac turers' employment bureau expresses the opinion that it will not be reces- sary for the Common Council to au- thorize the establshm ent Of labor agency as he is confident his office can care for the situation in New Britain. Should his bureau be found competent it would relieve the city of the necessity of paying a salary to the director of a public employme ent agency. The question rises whether the field covered by the manufac- turers' clearing house is as wide as might be desired. There are many trades and lines which that office might not care to deal with Whether accepted or rejected, the offer is a. generous one and should be con sidered for the economy it might eff feet.

MONROE DOCTRINE SAFE.

So far as America is concerned, the greatest obstacle to the adoption of the League of Nations covenant has been removed with the insertion : of a clause recognizing the force of the Monroe Doctrine. The absence of reference to the doctrine has caused more furore in politics than any other incident of recent years and has given President Wilson's enemies a rich op- portunity to make hay: which they did so assiduously that they were able to achieve a strategic victory.
 Republicans in general and Senator Lodge in particular will consider the news from Paris with pleasure be- caWse they will claim that the inser- ton of the Monroe Doctrine pro- tective paragraph was brought about through Republican pressure in the United States. Whether this is true, it at least has the color of truth, a1- though, in all fairness, it must be re- nembered that President Wilson never said, never intimated, that the covenant as presented after it's first drafting was complete and in form to be brought before the United States Senate for ratification. He did say that changes might be desirable. The covenant then was only rough struc- ture, such as the framework of a house standing up on the foundation walls. The Republican party placed it's case before the public so adroitly that many people were convinced that the Mon roe Doctrine was in danger of being repudiated although many leading thinkers expressed the opinion that the covenant would simply extend the force of the doctrine throughout the world.
 It has been asserted that Presid ent Wilson has not been in sympathy with opinion back in the United States. The specific protection of the Monroe Doctrine is proof that such is not the case.

tIOrOntO Mail and Empire)
 Some interesting inform ation re- specting the offence committed by Nurse Edith Cavell against German military regulations was recently giv- en in London by Rev. H. T. s. Gahan. the only English clergyman in Brus- sells during the German occupation Rev. MT. Gahan said that it was known in secret that Miss Cavell had helped 200 or more British French and Belgian prisoners to escape across the Dutch border, All who were en- gagged in this undertaking, or more of them, at first were exceedingly rash in every respect. said be- "Insuffi- elent care was taken to avoid detec- tion, and the men them selves were grossly imprudent. There was the grossest Want of caution, and awful carelessness OH the part of the men," MT. Gahan said that some of Miss CaEelis men actually walked about the Brussels boulevards talking Eng fish, though it was known that every Englishman was being sent to Ruhle. ben camp. Shortly after Miss Cavell was shot by a firing squad of German soldiers, an official investigation into the facts of her death was made by an Allied agent, and his report con- firms what Rev. MT. Gahan now says.
 It was, of course, the ferocity of the German punishment or the offens sea severity Anglo -Saxons did not apply to women offenders except spies--that reused British souls In vehement pro- test During the, war thousands of women suffered unnoticed death for no offe7se at all against German 5uili- tary regulations. The fresh State m ent as to the facts of the Cavell case increases our admiration for the noble patriotism Of tho English wo- man whose chief thought was fo. her country.

MTTTNY IN NORTH RTSSIA \.

Under ordinary circum stances news troops would be received with an
 emotion akin to shame. It cannot be said that 8 single blush has been
 caused, however, by the official ad
 mission that the Am erican doughboys
 in the Archangel region have refused
 to carry out orders, or have carried
 out those orders resentfully and minus the usual enthusiasm. In fact, there Is ground TOT belief that they had
 excellent reasons for their attitude albeit mutiny cannot be countenanced.
 Because of the silence of the War Department on the North Russian
 situation--there may have been cause for silence-we know little of the sit
 uation in that part of The world. Oc- casionaily a news dispatch brings the Information that the Bolsheviki have been thrown back or that the Allied
 forces have retreated. But of actual
 conditions there we know little ex-
 
 that 1t is dis greeably cold and many hardships have to be endured.
 From the incomplete information at hand, it appears that the soldiers objected to advancing to the front lines because they knew of no req son why they should be fighting the Bolsheyiki- They had enlisted to wal on Germany and they will be for given if they were inclined to be dense in respect to the cause in which they are engaged at present. Many others thousands of miles from Archangel and enjoying the comforts of home are equally as dense and there does not seem to be any desire on the part of any government official to dissipate such ignorance as does exist.

A GLORIOUS LIFE, A HAPPY
 DEATH.

To mould the minds of boys and girls so that they seek the higher, worth while things of life is a sublime achievement And to perform this labor of love with no hope of tenn poral reward is beyond the mind of man to comprehend with justice. Such was the history of Sister Mary Wal burga, who peacefully passed into the presence of the Great Teacher yester- day at St. Marys parish convent
 For nearly 2, quarter of century, Sister Walburga had been an instruc- tor at St. Mary's school. Patiently and kindly, she guided her pupils along the paths of righteousness and trained their minds to grapple with the affairs of earth. Her ninistra- tons are recalled with pleasure by many who haze attained manhood that she was at least partly responsi- ble for any success they have gained.
 Sister Walburga was noble vo- man who early renounced the world in order that she might devote her. self entirely to the holy work of inn- proving it's morals. Public acknowl- mission is the most fragrant rose that could be placed tenderly on her grave
