where he will spend the next few months

studying the Bratt system of liquor control
with the idea of proposing legislation similar
in character to his fellow legislators. The
trip is all the more unusual when something

prohibition went into effect Mr. Hull became
an ardent dry follower. He didn't forsake

TRAINING BASES


Only 6, 1917, it was announced
that training bases for the Ameri-
can troops in France had been es-
tablished and were ready for occu-
pancy. They included aviation, ar
tillery, Infantry, and medical bases.
The section of the battlefront
eventually to be occupied by the
Americans was decided upon by the
military authorities and approved
by General Pershing, after he had
inspected the ground.
The location of this section was
kept a military secret and no actual
time was fixed for American par
ticipation on the fighting front. The
battalion Of United States soldiers
that toxic part in the Independence
day celebration in Paris began train
ing at it's permanent camp, over
which General Sibert was placed
in command.
In the meantime the training Of
officers was rushed, on the assump-
ton that organization of the new
armies would be retarded without
qualified leaders.

Cannibalism Rife Among

Cannibalism still is rife among no.

by the Catholic Anthropological Con-
ference.
The report is from the Rev. E. AL
calde, missionary among them since
1908.
They are expert butchers" he says
THE heart goes to the strongest and
is the first part of the body to be dis
posed of. Next. the shoulders, arms and
trunk are given to the men, while the
legs go to the women. All this is sys-
tematically carried out. The flesh of
the white man is looked upon as a
dainty morsel.
These aboriginals are nomads with
out fixed homes. They have neither
house nor furniture and possess little
beyond their spears, boomerangs and
battle-axeS, which they always have at
hand. They wear no clothing except
when they come to the mission. AS
soon as they go out of sight all clothes
are cast off.

CANADA INCREASES
NUDITY PENALTIES
Three Year Prison Sentence
Provided in Bill Aimed
at Doukhob0rs.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
OTTAWA, Ontario July 25.-Any
member of the Doukhobor sect disrobing
In public and staging nude parade with
other Doukhobors will go to prison fer
three years, according to an amendment
to the criminal code Furnishing Scanty
attire in general passed by the Cana
dian House of Commons. Its prcmul-
cation awaits Senate passage.
Led by w. K. Esling, Conservative
member for West Kootenay, Doukhobor
locality, several western members last
night supported this provision included
among amendments to the code SUBJ
mitted by Minister of Justice Hugh
Guthrie, providing also for heavier
penalties for chicken stealing, for cruel
ty to animals and for false advertise
inents.
Fear Unintended Use.
Other members, most of them from
Eastern Canada, took the attitude that
the provision was expressly aimed at
fanatical Doukhobor SectS, and that it
placed machinery in the hands of en-
forcement officers that might also affect
chorus girls and bathing beaches.
Mr.. Esling aSsailed the Doukhobors
nightly, charging them with having
burned $4,000 worth of schools and
IdllS JLlc 1851 LWO yCSIo anu
with having become a menace to de-
cent, law-abiding residents of Western
Canada, referring to farmers residing
near them. who had been forced to
move to other sections of the country
in order that their children might not
become degraded by Doukhobor parades
and exhibitions.
Skeptical of Effect.
James S. Wordsworth, Labor member
for Winnipeg North Center, took the at
titude that repreSSive measures had not
affected the religious fanatical actions
of the sects and that the present in
crease of Imprisonment period would
have no corrective effect. The Offend
ing persons, he said. formed only a
small section of the Doukhobor settlers,
the majority being decent. quiet and
law-abiding, anxious to educate their
children and be Canadians.
On the other hand, H. H. Stevens,
minister of trade and commerce, de-
clared that for the last few years the
offending sects had received treatment
which had accomplished nothing ex
cept to encourage them in their disre-
gard for law and order. Patient con-
sideration had been given them and the
present law was not aimed at any one
observing even common decency, he
contended.
