accordance with orders from his chief,
extend to the stranded aviators cor

expression of citation at the glad tidings
Of their safety. He has been further
empowered to supply them with ample
funds and to summon instant medical or
surgical attendance, if necessary. His
instructions are that every facility of
the Mounted Police are to be utilized

1t is an interesting coincidence that
Trooper Mclaughlin is himself an ex-
airman, having served three years as
lieutenant in the Royal Air Force and
having been decorated with the Distin-
guished Flying Cross for his work in
France. Mclaughlin was a member of
the first relay of Northwest Mounted
Police sent out from Regina to rein
force Considines squad at Dawson City
at the gold rush in 1898. He earned
much commentator not much later for
arresting Henderson, who committed at
White Horse one of the most CHASTITY
crimes in Klondyke. Mclaughlin is
now ABOUT forty-five years Of age, and
his ordinary work is concerned primari-
ly with commissions from the Canadian
Secret Service.

Sunday Services T'hrong-
ed, Despite DR.. Ellis
Absence

Great services marked the revival
at the First Methodist church yester-
day. Notwithstanding the absence of
DR. Ellis from the pulpit, the congre-
cations increased instead of falling
off. A full house heard the Rev.
Guyton Fisher, pastor, in the morning
on the text, "Come with US and we
wi do thee good" and at night not
only the auditorium was packed,
chairs in the aisles and every avail
able place occupied, but seventy-five
or more were in the galleries. Mr..
Fishers evening text was, awake
thou that sleepest and arise from
the dead, and Christ shall give thee
light" He said his subject was Wake
up, get up and light up"
The Wisdom sisters sang in the
morning and doubled up in the eve
ming, singing three songs of extra
ordinary beauty.
The Sunday school orchestra play
ed at the night service and will be
on hand every evening til. the close
of the meeting.
DR.. Ellis returned today in time for
the o'clock service this afternoon,
and will preach the remainder Of the
week.

Early in the war, he volunteered
for army service at Salt Lake City,
but was rejected for a physical dis
ability. Later he was drafted at
Ottumwa, Iowa, and lsent to France,
where he saw four months of active
service. In the heavy fighting when
Pershing annihilated the St. Mihiel
salient, Kaylor had two fingers shot
off his right hand, this disability re-
sulting in his being discharged.
The fact that he served under an
assumed name has prevented his Sc

not his claims will ever be recognized
by the federal authorities.
His wife and two children, who re-

Cuban Sugar Rises, And
Price May Go Up Here

NEW YORK, Feb. IA Arise in
sugar prices will become effective
throughout the United States shortly
if plans of Cuban cane planters to
pool their entire output of raw su-
gar and force higher prices are sue
cessful.
A committee of Cuban sugar men
is reported to have obtained pledges
of support from controlling portion
of the planters and is refusing to sell
raw sugar to eastern United States
refners unless higher prices are of
fered.
AS a result the sugar market has
strengthened visibly. A 50-point ad-
vance was registered in Cuban raws
within "a hours following the report
of the Cuban committees plans. The
price for 90 centrifugal Cuban rows
rose from 4.52 to SOP cents pound,
with the Cubans declining to sell on
the advance.
Leading Cuban sugar men have
appealed to Maj.-Gen Enoch Crow
der in Havana to fix a price of rs
cents a pound for raw sugar in Gu
ba as the only means of relieving the
tense financial and political situation
on the island.
If the Cubans are successful in
forcing such price it would mean
at least 10-cent retail sugar through
out the United States, and probably
more, depending on the amount of
tariff the new Republican Congress
will put on sugar after March 4.

REPLY ON BIBLE
Attacked BY Scripture,
Wife Hunts For
Defense

NEW YORK, Feb. 14.-Hour in
and hour out, day and night, Mrs.
Caroline Friezner pores over the Old
Testament.
Jacb Friezner, her husband,
found in the Old Testament grounds
for a divorce action against her.
So she seeks now to answer the
Bible with the Bible.
Friezner bases his plea for divorce
on the following verses which he
found in the 25th chapter of Deuter-
onomy:
''If brethren shall dwell together
and one of them die and have no
child, the wife of the dead shall not
marry without, unto a stranger; her
husbands brother shall y y take
her to him to wife and perform the
duty of an husbands brother unto
her.
And if the man like not to take
his brothers wife then shall
his brothers wife come unto him and
loose his shoe from off his foot and
spit in his face"
Friezner was a widower, his wife
was widow when they married. He
now invokes the ancient Mosaic law,
saying Mrs. Friezner did not offer
herself in marriage to her husbands
brother.
"Never before has a man in this
country. tried to get rid of his wife
on a religious scruple," says Mrs.
Friezner. Religion should be used
to keep people together, not to sep
arate them.
'In these days what woman would
offer herself in marriage to any man,
brother-in-law or not?
''Never mind, there are many vers-
es in the Bible and one of them is
bound to fit my side of this case.
That law I shall find, if my eyes
hold out"
