 Wm. s. Elliott has been employed by the A E. c. for the past three or four years in the machine shops and as crane engineer and was one of the both with his fellow workmen and the commission.
 Explaining the possible cause of the accident, MT Gerig stated that the excessive rains of the past few weeks has softened the entire country, and that it was his opinion that a piling gave way under the pressure of the big crane and the soft swamp allowed the other bents to be. pulled along by the rails after they were thrown out of position. Mir Gerig stated that the crane had passed over the trestle sev- eral times and that no evidence of weakness had manifested itself. In addition to the commission crane a heavier one belonging to the Ameri- can Bridge Company that erected the Susitna and the Hurricane Gulch bridges had passed over the trestle on several occasions.

Urge Britishers to
Study u. S. History

Washington, Feb. 16.-The British
Conference of Educational Societies is
considering the suggestions made it by
George Peabody Gooch, oint editor of
the Contemporary Review, regarding
the need in British schools of a more
exhaustive study of American history
Mr.. Gooch emphasized the need of
exchange of university professors and
students between England and the
United States and lamented the fact
that outside of 4 few noted writers,
American men of letters were not
more largely read in England.
when once we break through the
crust of American history and get
really inside" he pointed out, 1--WE are
&stcnishedat the wealth of rhilosoph-
ical interest. We have had a sort o.
conviction that when America became
independent she did not concern us any
more.
I'VE do not want a political alli-
ance with America" Gooch concluded,
but rather an understanding which
comes from the inheritance of great
and uplifting traditions, and the
closer we get to one another and the
.ore we understand one another tn,
greater will he our power of main
yaining the Dest--many of them noble
elements Of the Anglo Saxon tradl-
ton"

Mrs. Perkins was born in Virginia
April 25, 1924; married David Perk-
ins in Ohio, March 16, 1843. Her
maiden name was Bertha Marcum
In 1StS they emigrated to Iowa, and
in 1857 took homestead in this
Nemaha-county where she has lived
ever since. Mr.. Perkins died in 1893
Good and old fashioned cooking"
is the receipt Mrs. Perkins gives for
her longevity. ut is no wonder peo-
pie do not live to old age like they
used to, considering the rich foods
they put in their stomachs nowadays
People do not eat enough coarse food
Corn bread once or twice day would
improve their health. Here are a
few of her IDEAS as she expressed
them:
81 believe women should aid thei.
husbands in voting right, but do not
believe women should 60 into politics
or vote.
Cooking courses in schools and
colleges run too much to fudge and
fancy dishes. I believe still, that the
best place for girl to learn house
Keeping and cooking is from her
mother-but / am in doubt whether
some of these modern day mothers
know much about such things.
"Work is the best tonic. Why,
do something every day. In the
summer time take care of my vege
table garden. Last summer I raised
SO many vegetables had them to
pass around among the neighbors."

Ghosts Of the Great War
Still Haunt the Baltic

Stockholm, Feb. 15.-Ghosts of the
great war still haunt the Baltic, scar
ing veteran shippers, sailors, fisher
men and steamship passengers alike
Hardly a week passes without re
ports along the Swedish coast of
drifting old mines and derelict sub
marines, both serious danger to all
navigation. The mines are principal
ly of Russian and German origin, and
after breaking loose from their moor
ings have drifted toward the east
coast of Sweden. Many of them
have been washed ashore on Gott-
land island which lies almost in the
center of the Baltic.
The derelict U-boats haunt the
western waters.
Ever since the armistice, Baltic
storms have washed mines upon the
coast and dwellers along the shore
have long since become accustomed
to the terrific detonations of ex-
ploding mines hurled against cliffs
during heavy gales. Energetic eff
forts have been made to sweep these
dangerous relics of the war, but it
will probably be years before either
the North Sea or the Baltic is free
of them.
1t is not at all uncommon for fish
ermen to catch mines in their nets.
They are regarded as lucky catches,
although they have to be handled
gingerly, for the government pays
handsomely for the removal or de-
struction of the mines, if satisfactory
proof of their discovery or destruc
tion can be furnished
The U. boat derelicts are said to
have been discarded English vessels,
lost while being towed from English
ports to Copenhagen. The menace to
navigation from these two sources is
such that passenger and merchant
vessels have to change their sched-
ules in the Baltic and traverse the
danger zones only by daylight.
Lately there has been little prop
erty damage and no loss of life as
the result of the floating U-boat dere-
licts and mines. Nevertheless Swed-
ish marine insurance companies have
of late been threatening to raise their
rates on account of this danger to
navigation.

Signs Cooperative Cotton
Marketing Contract

Columbia, Feb. 16.-R. NJ. Cooper,
Jr., of Wisacky, president of the
State Fair society, member of the
house Of representatives from Lee
county, and one of the best known
planters of the state, yesterday sign
ed the cotton cooperative marketing
contract.
81 decided to sign the contract only
after had made very thorough
study Of the principle Of cooperative
marketing and only after 1 had con-
vinced myself that it was the very
best step for the farmers to take"
said Mr.. Cooper. W have long been
convinced that the haphazard, unscien-
tific manner in which our cotton has
been marketed has been a source Of
heavy loss to the cotton growers. I
can see no other sure remedy for this
vcrv undesirable situation except
through cooperative marketing.
'IEe p"onoscd plan is not an exper-
iment. 1t has been tried and tested.
1t has been examined and scrutinized
by many of our ablest lawyers in bus
mess minds and it has their hearty
approval and endorsement
II sincerely hope that the campaign
in this state will be most successful
and that no trouble will be had signing
up the 400, 900 bales necessary to make
the contract operative"

TO ELIMINATE OR DENOTE
 SOME $500 ARMY OFFICERS

Washington, July 24.-The board of general officers appointed to undertake the biggest wholesale 'plucking, job ever initiated among the regular army officer corps will hold its nrst meeting tomorrow with Major General Joseph T. Dickman, retired presiding. It was 60 have begun operations toward the elim- nation or demotion of some 2,5O0 offi- cers today, but was held up by the ab- sence of one member.
 Members of the board, which Is rep resentative of all arms or the servica, were greatly concerned in their prelirni- nary discussions today over the probable effect upon the morale of the army of the suspended sentence now hanging over the head of practically every officer in the service with the exception of General Pershing and the bakers dozen of second lieutenants now in the army
 Congress, in directing that the off, cers' corps be reduced by January 1, to 12.00O, did not include the general off, -cers of the army in fixing the number to be retained fin each grade. The war department, in preparing instructions for the "plucking board did include the general officers, insofar as retirement for physical disability would create va cancies and permit the appointment of colonels to general officer rank, reduc- ing the number of surplus colonels to that extent

Seek British Aid to
 Curb Liquor Traffic
Diplomatic Action to Aid Pro hibition Enforcement Off, cers of the U. s.

Washington, July 24 (By the A. P.).- The state department was without any official word today as to the BrfIish atti- tude in connection with suggestions made by the American government to the Brit ish authorities for cooperative British measures to curb liquor trafic from British insular possessions irio the United States Pending receipt of tine official communication from the Locdon foreign office, comment was refused at the department on the nature of tho American note although no attempt was made to conceal the fact that diplomatic steps had been taken with a view to aiding federal prohibition enforcement officers of the United States
 The proposal of the. American govern ment, judging by statements made in London, apparently goes beyond the mere question of when foreign ships shall be subject to visit and search on their ap- proach to American waters. While the exact nature of the communication sent to London was not rcveaIeu, 1t was re- called that Commissioner Haynes of the prohibition enforcement office some weeks ago submitted to Secretary Hughes a memorandum pointing out the great difficulties he had encountered because liquor smugglers were able to use Der
 muda or the Bahamas as a base without ! interference from British authorities.
 It is understood MT. Haynes suggested that the British government be asked tc lend its aid in stamping out, this snug ling traffic, not upon the basis of any i specific agreement of any treaty between the two countries, but under the genera 1 principle ofG Gne couity of nations, which 1 is the basis of all such infernatioha l engagements. It has been generally rec | ognized. in the view of the prohibition authorities here, that nations have som, l obligation outside of their strict treaty l engagements to respect each others laws | Mir. Haynes is understood to hay, 1 pointed out in his communication to Sec
 retary Hughes that the British authori l ties could easily put a check on ship
 ments of liquor destined for this countc!
 by close supervision of clearance paper for vessels leaving British ports Wher | it was obvious that the clearance asked | was to cover a smuggling enterprise tha
 would violate the American prohibition
 laws it was felt that the. British DOT ] officials could take cognizance of tha 1 fact and deny the >essel the right t | leave port on technical ground.
 So far as the right of search of foreigl vessels beyond the three-naiIe limit i
 concerned, it was pointed out here tha l the matter was now before America
 courts in the case of the T<itish schoone l Marshall. which was seized as a liuuo runner beyond the limits of territoria waters Presumably any agreement be .I tween the two governments on this poin
 would follow judicial action fo deterrnin
 the American policy as to4hst far at SC national jurisdiction for customs or pro hibition purposes might run.

Allies Realize the
 UnitedStatesisFirIn
Not to be Drawn Into Debt
 Cancellation Conference To Proceed Independently.


 Paris, July 24.-(By the A. P.)- General consideration of allied debts in their relation to the reparations ques- ton now seems to be assured for the Forthcoming meeting of the reparations question now seems to be assured for the forthcoming meeting of the repre- sentatives of the allies in London. This was the conviction expressed today in reparations circles.
 The allies having conclusively deter mined that the United States govern ment under no circumstances purposes to be drawn into cbnference in which debt cancellation is to be the chief top ic of the allied governments, have de- cided to go ahead independently of the United States.
 The hope was expressed today, how ever. that any economic improvement which the government experts think would result, from even partial re- mission of debts and revision in the total of the indemnities to be paid by Germany would not be ignored by the American government if several years hence, the American government recon. sidered it's attitude toward it's European debtors. For the present, however the allied officials have learned from un. questionable sources that during the impending reparations debt discussion the attitude of the United States will be that of an observer.
