'Bergdoll Guard
Thought Insane
Over His Escape
h a
Sergeant O'Hare, Who Took
Grover on Treasure Hunt,
Is Sent to Washington
Hospital for Observation
Mind Upset by Worry
Army Officials Await Re-
port OH His Condition,
Which May Delay Trial

Sergeant John O'Harc, in charge Of
the military guard that escorted Grover
Cleveland Bergdoll, millionaire draft
dodger, from Castle Williams prison on
Governors Island to Philadelphia last
May, and from whom the convicted
Stacker made his escape, is thought to
be mentally unbalanced as a result Of
worry over the matter.
O'Hare WAS sent to Walter Reed
Hospital, Washington, on August 2,
for observation and treatment, but no
report has been received by the military
authorities on Governors Island re-
garding the case.
O'Hare and Sergeant York, who COM
prised Bergdoll's guard on the proposed
treasure hunt" are awaiting trial by
a general court martial Friday.
O'Hare Showed Worry
At the trial several weeks ago of
Colonel John Z. Hunt, former COM
mandant OF the Governors Island
disciplinary barracks, for neglecting to
take the proper precautions to prevent
the prisoners escape, both Sergeant
O'Hare and Sergeant York testified.
AT that time Sergeant O'Hare proved
q normal witness. He showed, how
ever, traces of worry in his face and in
MS voice. The military authorities be-
came disturbed recently by his con-
dition and sent him to the Washington
hospital
Under military lau ol1oooJ o~o,1x
cannot be held without trial for more
than forty days. O'Hare and York
were placed under arrest the latter
part OF May, Immediately after Berg
dolls escape, but after forty days were
restored to duty.
Trials Set for August 81
Colonel Charles Cresson, assistant
departmental judge advocate, said yes
terday that he was awaiting the hos
pltal report on O'Hare's condition. and
that when the report is received a
board OF three medical officers will be
convened to examine into the non-com-
missioned officers sanity. This is the
usual proceeding, Colonel Cresson said
1t was done in the case of Grover Berg
doll prior to his trial by court martial
Captain Leo Samuelson, commandant
of Castle William prison, where Berg
doll was confined, said yesterday he
had had no word regarding O'Hare's
condition. The O'Hare and York cases
are set for trial August e. he said.
and If O'Hare is not back by then it il
likely that York's case will be taken
up alone. Captain Robert E. Hannay
will be the trial judge advocate; and
Captain Weir is expected to defend the
two sergeants.

Threatens Residence Section

The biggest fire that has occurred in
Mount Vernon in many years broke
out late Monday night in the plant of
the Benford Manufac turing Company,

at $4,000. The origin is unknown.
The volunteer fire department saved

Silver Fox Industry

Silver foxes at Hungry Hollow, near
Regina, Sask., live in luxurious style
BETTING family of wealth. The food is
of the best and pens and yards in which
the animals are housed are kept in san
itary condition.
They are fed as extensively as guests
in frst-class hotels, the meat served them
being kept in spotless refrigerators and
consisting of choice cuts of tenderloin
steaks, pork chops with a little horse meat
added for variety. Breakfasts consist Of
cereals prepared as carefully as for a
querulous invalid and tasty vegetables.
The ranch is fenced in with eight-feet
wire and sunk in the ground several feet.
The houses are constructed on scientific,
hygenic plans and are scupulously clean.
Success in fox raising near Winnipeg
and in various parts of the United States
show that other sections than Prince Ed
ward Island can carry on the industry on
paying basis. Many of the owners have
made immense fortunes in few years

from $4,000 to $4,000 a pair.-Exehange

The Zoos Daily Menu

How much does it cost now to feed an
elephant for year, $4,000, say the Of
fcials of the London Zoo. And a giraffe
costs half as much. So that, with the in
creased prices of food, have come new
problems for the keepers of menageries.
The meat foods include beef, horse-Aesh,
guinea-pigs, rats, cats, mice, rabbits, frogs,
snakes, fish, pigeons, ducks, sparrows, gen.
ties, snails, ants and cod-liver oil. The
gazelles, buffaloes and antelopes must be
provided with rock salt. They are fed
on oats, bran, hay, green clover, together
with carrots and potatoes. The birds are
the most difficult to feed satisfactorily.
Flamingoes, for instance, require soaked
wheat, boiled shrimps and fish cut small.
Some birds are fed largely on bullocks
liver. This is cut into slices, boiled, then
put through a mincing machine. The
mince is dried in a slow oven and pre-
served. The dry mince is usually mixed
with bran or pollard. Quantities of in
sects have to be kept in stock for the in
sect eating birds. These are principally
meal worms and gentles, which is the
polite name for meat maggots. But for
some birds flies and grasshoppers are re-
quired. The monkeys require fruit, such
as bananas and apples, while the snakes
must be fed on small animals, such as rab-
bits, mice and rats.-Exehange.

Plans For An Aerial Circuit
of the Atlantic

The Aerial Club of America announces
in New York that plans have been COM
pleted for an aerial circuit of the Attain
tic Ocean. Prizes for the event will reach
more than 100000. Aero clubs of 10
countries will cooperate.
Starting at New York or Atlantic City,
competitors will fly southwark, stopping
at the principal cities on the Atlantic sea-
board, and thence to Cuba, Haiti, Porto
Rico, Caracas and Pernambuco, across the
Atlantic to Dakar, on the west coast OF
Africa, north along the African coast,
thence to Biarritz via Portugal or Spain.
Stops will be made in France as arranged
by the Aero Club of France, and in Bril-
tain as selected by the Royal Aero Club
of Great Britain. In Scandinavia, stop
ping points will be selected by the aero
clubs of those countries. Competitors will
cross the North Atlantic to Newfoundland,
returning to starting point via Halifax,
Portland and Boston. The Atlantic may
be crossed either by airplane or dirigible.

Dive With Wounded Whale

Japanese whalemen are skilled and dar-
ing in their profession, often encountering
a great many dangers. Many give up
their lives to accomplish the main thing
at issue-the capture of the whale. The
expert of the whaling crew must prove
his mettle after the whale has become ex-
hausted from being harpooned.
The skilled Japanese jumps on the
whales back, cutting two gashes in the
head. Often the animal makes a deep
dive, but the little Japanese must hold
fast to his quarry and dive also, trusting
to his fates that the air supply in his
lungs will last as long as the whales.
The Japanese is safer from being
drowned than from being crushed by the
Infatuated animals tail. If the hunter
lets go it usually means death, so he
hangs on to the diving quarry. Ere
quently these whalemen lose their live:
from drowning, but the members of theil
crew look upon this misfortune with
something of fatalistic regard.
When the animal is finally caught and
lowed to shore the Japanese make huge
excavations, penetrating inside the ami
mails body as though entering a mine
shaft or gallery, and eventually making
their exit covered with blood. This grue
some sight is looked upon as matter Of
course among japanese whalemen.-Ex.

Italy's Growth

Italy has emerged from the war with a
greater population than she had before,
though with considerably lessened num-
Der Of men. This is due to the addition
of 100000 by the restoration of Italian
territory heretofore under Austrian rule
and to the high birth rate, which, it is
estimated, kept the population up to its
normal of 100000, despite the loss of
100000 by war.
The trend of the population toward the
cities is great, but perhaps not greater
than in other European countries. NUM-
ton works and war industries of all sorts
attracted labor, which shows no DISPOSE
ton to return to the farms and villages.
Many families, which became rich during
the war, have moved to the important
cities and are spending their money lavish
ly for luxuries. One newly rich family in
Rome hung an entire apartment, includ-
ing the servants quarters, with elborate
tapestries and purchased seven pianos.
The population of Milan has grown
from 100000 in 1914 to 100000. Genoa
has increased from 100000 to 100000.
Naples had 668,000 at the opening of the
war and now has 100000. Venice was in
danger during so much of the fighting
that it was deserted, temporarily, by much
of its population, and is no larger now
than it was before the struggle began.
Florence grew but little during the war
and was less affected by the world crisis
than any other large Italian city.
laramie and Spezia, the two great TIA
lian naval bases, have developed marked
ly. laramie had about 10000 inhabitants
in 1914 and it now has 10000. All the
Allied fleets center there, and its ship
yards, arsenals and naval supply works
have been greatly increased. Ten years
ago Spezia had now city of 100000.
| Terni, an industrial city located so
miles from Rome, has grown in 10 years
from a city of $500 inhabitants to $4,000.
1t has greater water power than any other
industrial city of Italy.

New York city is greater than some ma
tons. Its banking resources are now over
$4,000, 100000.
1t has $4,000 factories, whose annual
output is over $4,000, 100000.
New York spends through its city
government nearly $sO0,OOO,Ooo annually.
This is twice the expenditure of Japan.
New York has 100000 daily visitors
and over 500 conventions every year, with
attendance of half million.
There are 1900 hotels, 1000 theaters
and 1000 churches.
Seventy-five per cent of the foreign
commerce of the United States goes from
New York.
New York is cooler in summer and
warmer in winter than any industrial
city in the United States. Its summer
temperature has never but twice in 40
years reached 100 degrees.
New York has steamship lines to go
per cent of the ports of Europe, Mediter-
ranean, Atlantic coast of North, South
and Central America.
New York produces one-tenth of all
manufactured goods of the United States
and manufactures one-half of all the cloth
ing worn by men and women in this coun-
try.
New York turns out one-fourth of all
the printed matter produced in the United
States.
New York has 1916 miles of streets.
If made one street it would stretch across
to and beyond San Francisco. AT 10
miles a day it would take year to walk

Lent

The 40 days of Lent recalls the very
curious part that 40 has played in the
worlds traditions and customs. The De-
luge in the Bible lasted 40 days and 40
nights; the Israelites wandered 40 years
in the desert. Members of English Parlia-
ment cannot be arrested for 40 days after
every Propagation or 40 days before new
Parliament convenes. The time-honored
sanitary quarantine is 40 days. Luther
said man had to live 40 years before he
could decide whether he was a fool. "Fair
fat and 40" is one of our most familiar
proverbs. Forty stripes was the rule In
Jewish castigation. At 40 man is sup
posed to change his entire physical self
But why 40? No one has ever been ablt
to answer.-Exchangs.
