HUN HIDES 4 YEARS
COncealS Self in New Guinea Jun
gle During War.
Among Cannibals Until Armistice
Is Signed.

KOnrad DetZler, a German army en-
gineer who had been hiding In the New
Guinea jungle since the beginning Of
the war, has come back to civilization
and now is In an internment camp in
Australia. Detzer's story is on a par
with other romantic incidents of the
war as it affected the South sea.
Detzler holds captains commission.
When the war began he was surveying
the boundary line between the then
Kaiser Wilhelmland, or German New
Guinea, and Papua, or British New
Guinea. He decamped into the bush
This was risky act, for the bushmen
prefer human flesh above all other
kinds. When an Australian force oc-
cupied Kaiser Wilhelmland Detzler
was overlooked.
For more than four years Detzler
lived In the bush near Mismis. He
had a shotgun, but ii was not long ise-
fore he ran out of cartridges. There
after he lived on yams, taro and kau
"a variety of sweet potato) in common
with the natives, and upon birds and
animals which he caught by means Of
snareS.
Several times the Australians search
ed for him. but Detzler managed to
elude them. He might have stayed
indefinitely in the jungle, but missien-
aries told the Papuans of the armistice
and they in turn told him. Thereupon
he surrendered to the nearest Austria
Ito oai ixyiy thrnr1nhnnf
the war at Mismis, Detzler wore only
q lava lava (native kilt). The result
is that he is almost as brown as a
Papuan. He now wears German
uniform.

submerged. Admiral Madden. cha-
grinned at the cruisers failure to get"
the submarine. exclaimed:
"Why wouldn't it be good idea TO
work up some sort Of a device to

the cold water remedy, and then, un-

SPOIL O. HENRY'S SKETCHES
Texas Workmen Tear Down Build

Employed.

Austin, Tex.-Sketches on the walls
of the old land office building on tho
capitol grounds. drawn by 0. Henry
the author, while he was clerk In
the statehouse here, are being Destroy
ed. Workmen are tearing down the
building.
o. Henry, in his adolescence, pub
lished a little weekly, The Rolling
Stone, worked in the land office as a
clerk, and worked prodigiously on the
stories that later were to entertain an
army of readers.
His real name was Sidney Porter,
and he was then unknown to fame. NO
one seems to remember whether he
was a good clerk, and those who nave
seen the sketches say that as an artist
he was a good story teller.

CIVIC LEAGUE

The Civic Improvement league is large ly responsible for the great improvement in the lawns and exterior surroundings of the resident portion of the city this summer, as it has been the policy of the organization to create an interest in the appearance of the city committees hay ing been appointed in each section to promote interest in the beautifying Of lawns and grounds. A most noted inn provement has been made in the small plots around the church buildings, where the work of each committee in charge Of improving the grounds has been most effective. Especially noticeable is the attractive arrangement of flowers ana the neatly kept grass plots at the Pres byterian church with Mrs. George Steven son and Mrs Will Cochran. in charge. The First Baptist church is always beau- tiful in the early summer, being amlost entirely covered with the new foliage of the vines over the building, and this summer there is an added attraction In the form of flower beds and innumerable boxes filled with blooming plants. This decorative touch to the Baptist church has been the work of Mrs John Neal, who has worked most diligently to produce present results. The rank growth or weeds on vacant lots is the greatest ob- stacle to be overcome in making the city present an attractive appearance, ana that will be taken up at the next meet ing of the Civic Improvement league on Thursday, June 19.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Dear Sirs: I am sending you by par eel post three cotton stalks out of my own cotton field.
 First. I want you to note the size of the stalk This was planted March 22. and in spite of wet weather and cold to set it back it is of this size.
 Second these stalks came out of a five-acre cut and If you will notice the squares you will find that practice ally every square has been punctured by the boil weevil. This cut of cot ton has been hand picked for the weevil and just about 800 weevils were caught off this patch before it got so large you could not find the weevil.
 Mr Brugh, my bookkeeper, and my self made personal investigation of a number of fields and we find the weevil more numerous than we have seen them this time of year, than he has been since he made his appearance in this section, not excepting the sec ond year, when it almost got all that was made.
 I would mention too that we found almost every square on every stalk in the five-acre cut mentioned above to be punctured by the weevil.

Weekly Financial Review
By Associated Prsss

New York, June 15.-Restriction oi money supplies influenced stock exchange trading almost exclusively last week ana this lack of funds to purchase shares resulted in extensive liquidation which brought prices down on scale ranging from 5 to 30 points. with the chief suffer CTS being those which were to the fore front during the recent period of ad- vance
 The lightness of the monetary situa- ton was reflected by the rise in the in terest rate on loans for both mixed and industrial collateral with the climax com ing when, during Friday afternoons trading the high official figure of F per cent was touched. this being a record for more than two and half years. Ac- tually, the rate was 20 per cent on some loans.
 Several reasons were advanced to ac- count for the smaller amount of money available for stock buying. One was the resumption of exporting of gold, of which approximately 20,000O O00 was engaged for transfer to South America as result of the withdrawal of the government em- bargo against this movement Another was the fact that the second installment of the federal income tax was due today.
 Associated with the money situation was the letter sent by the federal reserve board on Tuesday to its member banks inquiring into the reasons for which loans were being made, this communca- tion going forward simultaneously with announcement that it was the govern fnent's purpose to stabilize the specula- tive situation. The markets technical condition after the long period of rising prices was sensitive to realizing and pro fessional short selling.
 The federal reserve board again today took cognizance of the speculation. AL luding to the fact that trading on the ex- change during the past month has been upon a basis practically unprecedented since the opening of the war, the board announced that when it's member banks assumed their normal functions making advances against government collateral "a natural and effective check to exist ing conditions in the money ma rket may be afforded through changes of rates in the federal reserve banks" It was ex- plained that the continuance of war emergency conditions has caused this function of the federal reserve system ito be held more or less in abeyance"
 Sterling exchange dropped pretty stead fly during the week while there were irregular movement in both fires and francs.

Weekly Cotton Review
By Associated Press

New Orleans, June 15.-The trend was upward in cotton last week, un- satisfactory weather conditions, re- ports of much acreage being aban- doned and evidences ot weevils in great numb CTS in some districts, being the main causes back of the rise. In early sessions the 2O0-point rule was applied to the advance but on succeeding ses- sions fluctuations were not so wide. At the highest levels the trading months were 301 to 347 points above the close of the preceding week, July going to 32.39c, Last prices showed net gains of 22o to 2s2 points.
 Toward the end of the week the wire strike had the effect of increasing of- ferings for long account. Weather con- ditions remained unsettled to the close The feature of returns from the in- terior was the claim that the continued wet weather, combined with the scarci- clean the crop and that consequently many fields were so badly in the grass that they would be thrown out of cul- tivation.
 This week the telegraph troubles and weather conditions will probably be the main thing for the trade to consider around the opening but foreign news would make it appear that political events may become so important that the trade will have to give more thought to what is going on in Europe than it had for some weeks past.
 The increased export movement may attarct more attention because of the easiness of ocean freight rates and in dications of a greater tonnage availa- ble as cotton carriers. especially since the larger movement of cotton from the interior to the ports leads many brok- CTS and traders to think that cotton is accomplishing at the seaboard for the account of shippers. Further increases in the foreign movement of cotton probably would have immediate effect on values.
