arrival in France and where the regiment
was in training.
"Why did you give them false an
swers?" asked the court. "After they
started in questioning me realized
might give some valuable information,
and that is the reason gave them false
answers"
In answer to question the accused
said he had never received any instruc-
tons as to what he should say if he were
captured.
Question of Ill-feeling.
"'You and Captain Gordon were not
on friendly terms?"
"No, SIR" and Per1mutter's testimony
as to the reason for this was:
1.-THE first time it stated Captain Cor
don was attached to Divisional Head
quarters, and he came down as foot
specialist for the battalion, and he was
taking lot of toenails off for the men,
and I didn't like that; just put little
piece of steel or something right under
the toenail and pull it off, and the men
asked me to appeal to Captain Gordon,
and Captain Gordon told me to mind my
own business I asked him in nice
way. That was the first time, and since
then if there was any kind Of dirty work
to be done Captain Gordon would pick
on Private Perlmutter to do it. The
time came to go into the trenches, and
there was fellow that had to stay back
with baggage detail. At the time we
didn't have two nights sleep, two days
and two nights we had very little to eat,
and somebody saying that it would be
another day waiting until dark without
any food at all, and Private Perlmutter
was picked out by Captain Gordon.
When in the trenches if any one
had to go out at or 3 o'clock in the
morning, any one around at all. l was
always woke up when there were men
on duty for that purpose"
Captain Gordon denied that he had
any il1-fee1ing for Per1mutter.
"There was no animus between us
prior to. this time," he testified.
Con the night we were captured, the
infantrymen of M and L companies,
who were supposed to be in the stone
quarry where our dugout was located,
had to leave this part of the line and it
was necessary that I post gas guards
from my medical corps men at
that time if remember right criticised
Per1mutter for not being on the job the
last time he was on gas guard.
Gordon said that the information
which Per1mutter gave the Germans was
as far as he knew absolutely true. In
the brief asking for re-examination Of
the case by the Judge Advocate General
a chief point made is that there is no
evidence in the record to show that any
intelligence contained in Perlmutter's al
legged conversation with the German Off

far as he knew, absolutely true was in
fact correct, and whether or not the true
answers which Per1mutter admits he
gave were of any material worth to the
enemy.

NOVEL HOUSES OF WORSHIP
One Missionary to Eskimos Made Use
of SeaIskins and Another En-
ployed Only Snow.

One Of the queerest churches ever
known was built by a missionary on
Blackhead island, In Cumberland
sound. Finding that the Eskimos had
no place in which they could meet
for religious services, the missionary
started to build a church of the skins
of seals, no wood being available. The
skins were sewn together and
stretched over "girders" Of whalebone.
empty provision tins serving as seats.
The cold at one time became so
severe that for many days the Eski-
mos of Blacklead island were unable
to procure food for themselves or for
their animals. One night dogs made
their way to the strange church edi-
fee and began consuming it. with the
result that when morning came there
was not skin left, the whalebone
ribs alone remaining to show that
there had ever been a church.
Another missionary In charge Of the
spiritual welfare of the Eskimo tribe,
built his church entirely of snow.
Seat, pulpit. altar and interior equip
ment were made of snow, and in the
matter 'of warmth no stone-built
church could beat 1t.

GIVEN PRIVILEGE IN WAR
Channel Islanders for Centuries Were
Not Forced to Take Part In
Britain's Conflicts.

For over two centuries the Channel
islands were allowed to remain neu-
trail in any war that England might
undertake. This singular privilege was
granted to them by Edward Nv. and
was not revoked till the reign Of VIII
liam and Mary. 1t was granted as
a reward for the loyalty Of the island
ers, whose commerce with the neigh
boring coasts Of Brittany and Nor
mandy was constantly being inter-
rupted by the numerous wars. Even
the pope joined in enforcing the right,
and by q bull dated 1883 Sextus ~
threatened to excommunicate any one
who violated the order. On the whole,
It was fairly rigidly observed. and when
a Guernsey vessel was taken In the
channel by a privateer Of Morlaix, the
islanders with their boat were re-
leased, but few Englishmen on
board, with their merchandise, were
captured. The privilege does not
seem to have been Of any great COM
mercial value, for when it was with
drawn the islanders made more
money than before by fitting their yes

Most folks agree that a good salad
needs chicken and the poultry family
seems to be unanimous in the opinion
that good chickens need salad. This
story is about chicken salad as hen
merry habitues think of it-asSuming
that they do think.
During the : spring and summer
months a floclSs so located that it can
range does not need to have any green
feed supplied it. When the birds are
confined in a back yard or in any
other limited space where there is
little or no green material, they will
not do their best unless supplied with
all the salad material they can eat
once day.
sThe question of how to supply the
best feed at the least cost is one each
poultry keeper must decide largely for
himself. 1t probably makes little diff
ference what green feed is supplied,
providing it is palatable. Glover. al
falfa, rape, rye. oats and Swiss chard
are some Of the crops often grown for
this purpose AS it is necessary to
shut the hens away from the crop
when it is growing, various cropping
plans are advocated The poultry spe-
cialists in the United States depart
ment Of agriculture recommend three
plans to fit varying conditions and To-
calities.

PREVENT WHITING OF PLANTS
Water Should Be Poured Around Roots
Before Dirt Is Filled in
Furnish Shade.

Plants take In moisture through
their small feeding rootlets and dis
charge it through the surface of their
leaves. AS a result Of the breaking OF
the roots in transplanting, the supply
Of moisture is cut off and the plants
wilt, says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. To prevent the
willing of the leaves, water should be
poured around the roots before the
dirt is filed in; also, the tops OF the
plants should be shaded and protected
from the wind to reduce the evapora-
ton from the leaves.

More than $1,000 was raised in this
city Tuesday for the Salvation Army
fund by the sale of tags at the polling
places. The sale was conducted by
the American Legion and Service
Star Legion. Because of threatening
weather and poor roads little effort
was made to work in the country
precincts but members of the legion
in some of the smaller towns gave n
portion of the day to solicitation for
money. What success they met with
has not been reported to the legion
here.
Solicitation in the business dis
trict resulted Monday in securing
$3.50 in cash and pledges which
brought the total for the days work
up to about $1,000. The work was
halted today but will be resumed in

Heavy Vote in Big
Wards Delays Count,
Returns Come Slowly

Because Of the heavy vote In the
larger wards of the city returns Of
Tuesdays election were slow in COM
ing in. The long hours necessary for
the counting of the ballots again
emphasized the need Of a division OF
the larger wards into two >Or more
precincts. Members of election
boards do not care to experience
another such protracted task of
counting votes.
Despite the cramped quarters in
some of the precincts and the ex-
ceptional large vote, there was no
great delay experienced in balloting.
At some times, during the day there
was some congestion at the polls but
the vote came in steady thruout the
day making the balloting less con-
fusing than anticipated.
The election was held under pc
culiar condition. it being found too
late to make changes, that the voting
machines could not cbe used without
the party circle levers. This neces-
STATED the use Of the paper ballots.
Then, with the vote doubled by the
Acknowledgement of women, election
! boards. which have in the past been
handling more than their quota Of
votes, faced the task Of doing double
work.
The election law provides that
there shall be voting booth for
every sixty voters or fraction there
Of. but in the Second ward, where
the largest vote was cast, there were
twelve booths for 1909 voters. This
was at the ratio of $50 voters to the
booth. Under the law there should
have been thirty-one booths in the
Second ward.
Conditions were less satisfactory in
the Third ward, where the vote was
not so large, but the voting place
was much smalled In the First
ward, with a much lighter vote.
voting was most difficult. The poll
ing place permitted of only handful
Of voters to squeeze inside the room
at a time.
Before another election, whether or
not the machines are to be used, the
city council should divide the larger
wards into precincts. Residents of
Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets
now have to go to the Central fire
station, between Center and First
streets, to vote, and voters residing
in the extreme eastern part of the
city must go to the heart of the city
to cast their ballots. In the Fifth
ward some of the voters must go ex-
treme distances, but the vote in the
ward is not nearly so heavy, and the
First and Fourth wards cover much
less territory, altho the vote is
heavier than ordinarily is cast in ii
single precinct.
