WAR DEBTS,

Another half billion dollars will
be added 10 the war debt of Euro
pean nations to the United States
government, running The total above
twelve billions.
Treasury department officials
have been foccd - the conclusion
by the apathy of the debtor powers
in arranging for negotiations with
the funding commission to fund
their obligations. France is the
only one of the score of government
that has sent over representative
to confer with the funding commits
sion. Belgium has indicated she
will be the second power to begin
negotiations, "some time after the
middle of August" Six other pow
ers-Great Britain, Czecho Slovckia
Finland, Italy, Poland, and Serbia
have said they will send delegates
but not indicated the time.
Members of the funding commits
sion have determined that they will
further defer interest payments in
the case Of France. When the small
er powers make representations of
poverty, the commission cannot de-
mand from them more than re-
quired of France. Hence, all indi-
cations now are that there will be
another general deferment period,
probably two years this time.

SHOOTS WRONG MAN.

''My God! I've shot the wrong
man." SO Louis Olivero, aged As,
an Italian, is said to have declared
after he had fatally wounded John
X. kallapa, aged 21, Slav, while
the later was watching a baseball
game between the FOllanSbee and
Wcirton teams. Both Olivcro and
kallapka live in Follansbee.
kallapka was sitting on knoll
III center field in the midst of large
crowd when he topplcd over.
Ollvcro, with "a revolver in his hand
according to the police, walked to
where kallapka had collapsed, close
~ viewed n i'm and then exclaimed
that he had shot the wrong man.
Olivcro sat down by The wound
cd man and waited until the arrival
Of Chief of Police, to whom he
turned over Il 3S-calibrc revolver.
Ollvero, according to Chief Cham
bcrs, said that he had intended to
shot Samuel Basil, a brother-in-law
Of kallapka, but that he had mis-
taken Kallapka for Basil because of
a close resemblance between the
two. Olivcra, said that he had
stationed himself about Is feet from
where kllapka was sitting and after
taking careful aim, fired one shot.
He said, it is alleged, that he had
intended to shoot Samuel Basil, a
brother-in-law Of kallapka, but that
he had mistaken Kallapka for Basil
because of 4 close resemblance be-
tween the two. He said that he had
quarreled with Basil recently and
that he had been seeking him for
three days.
The bullet penetrated Kallapka's
heart. Before dying he rcgained
consciousness and said that he did
not remember having seen Olivero.
The shooting was witnessed by
nearly 1000 persons watching
close game between the sectional
rivals.
Olivcro was lodged in the Brooke
county Jail at WellSblIrg.

SOUTH SEA CANnIBAl TRIBES,

The cannibal tribes are the most
intelligent and intellectual of all the
South Sea natives, according to Mrs.
Beatrice Grimshaw, authoress, who
mas Just returned to England after
10 years in the islands Of the South
Sea.
The cannibalS are not ONLY the
most intelligent but they are phvsi-
clly the most powerful" Mrs. Grim
shaw says. This is the result of
generation after generation of the
survival of the littcSt.
"Ihc cannibalS hold their orgies
IN Secretc and never on any of the
plantations. In early every cas-.
me victim who is killed is native
oil rival village. The BODY is
cooked in an oven dug in the hill
side or is boiled in Il big pot with
!rlpe' such as is often referred to
III Jest. When cases of cannibalism
are reported and proved the natives
are severely punished, but they are
NOT hanged, rs it is considered that
their crime is simply result of 10
norancc and that they do not know
any better. The customs of the no.
lives are very curious. Secrecy is
rife, and | know for a fact that
many of thee natives possess occult
power. The natives understand
hNpnotism from end to end, and
they have a great knowledge of
Splrltualism. The coinage of the
South Sea island is almost entirely
reckoned in wives and pigs.
"A good wife is equal to about
seven pigs. The women are very
badly treated: and have even
kown cases where wives have been
eaten by their angry husbands. A
wife can be bought on the hire~pur-
chase system; but, strange to sav,
1t Is not the men who propose"

tions. An furthermore, while loom
work is in progress, the children are
taught to spell the various words
used in weaving, and they read of
looms and their great value to man.
kind. Thus is carried on what is
known as the corollary work.
There is no doubt that the oppor-
tunity given the child in the mod
ern school is worthy Of praise. In
what we may call the "old days." no
such pleasant surroundings and fas-
cinating work was ever thought of.
1t was work, work, work through the
same set of books each day. When
they were finished no time was lost
in supplying US with others. Now it
is different, for these children are not
driven to their tasks. They approach
them voluntarily because they like the
work. And while they enjoy them
selves, they are learning something
each day.
Thus it was that the Post man
wandered upon scene which he will
long remember. 1t has been quite
some time since he has seen grade
school room in action and the inn
preston left upon him was a very
pleasant one, indeed. The motto of
the little Opportunity School is:
Happiness first, all else follows"
One would have to search long and
arduously for better motto than
this. 1t is the real secret of the new
type of school room. Happiness
first-the art of keeping the child in
terested and contented in his work;
the gentle and inspiring method of
the modern teacher in awakening in
him the eagerness to do with his
hands as well as his head, but above
all this-happiness first. And after
all, 1t applies not only to the school
but to the home, the freside, the of
fee, all places where men gather to-
gether in any one group. The Post
man is mighty glad he saw the Op-
portunity School. Just to forget for
little while the hurry and hustle of
business, and to take peep at the
American boy at his work-why it
makes you gasp with amazement at
the new and varied things which go
to make up the modern school. Try
it some time, you fathers and moth
ers. Get close with your boy and
girl and take an interest in his work.
See what he makes; watch him work.
Help him along.

will be remembered that at the same
date last year this memorial was un-
VeiIed, and has proved to be one Of
the most beautiful Of its type in this
section of the country.
The opening of the meeting was
accomplished by some excellent music
by the Elkton Band. This was fol-
lowed by the Invocation by the Rev.
Sidney Dixon and singing by the
Methodist Choir under the direction
of Charles Weldon and William J.
Davis.
Thus the stage was set for the most
impressive and well-done ceremony
OF the evening, and one which will
long linger in the memories of those
who saw it. The lights in all the
business houses nearby, as well as
the street lights suddenly went out
and the assemblage was left in total
darkness. The shout of surprise in
stantly gave way to tender silence,
for at the foot of the monument fac
ing the crowd was a row of sixteen
lighted candles. Mutely they fickered
and burned brightly. There is no
need to tell what they symbolized.
Everyone knew, and everyone was
silent and sad.
