Seventeen hundred Alabama Negroes reached Camp Dodge early Tuesday morning and by nightfall had been registered and assigned to the Three Hundred Sixty-sixth colored infantry. With 321 men from Iowa, Illinois, North Dkota and Minnesota reporting for duty, the regiment has more than its full quota, and within a few days another provisional regiment will likely be organized. Despite the prediction of many, that the southern Negroes would arrive here poorly clad and half frozen, the men as a clad presented a splendid appearance. Many had managed to procure overcoats on the way north and are at present in no danger from severe weather. With the arrival of the men it became apparent that little heed was paid to draft regulations by many southern exemption boards. Among those reporting from Alabama were three ministers, about 800 married men, many of whom have as high as three children, and innumerable farmers. The ministers when questioned regarding their exemption claims said that they had been filed, but apparently had not been investigated. However, the men say they are willing to serve the United States in the war on Germany. Married Men Not Worried. Married men say they have nothing to worry about now. Questioned regarding their occupation, a large number of colored men admitted that they received small pay in the south, an average of about $8 per week, upon which families of three and four were supported. These same men pointed out that as a wife will receive $15 a month from the government and $10 for each child for the same period, in addition to an allotment of $15 a month from their pay as soldiers, their families will be bettered by the enactment of the draft law. Not Much Education. That the Y. M. C. A. educational classes will be filled to overflowing is the prediction made by registration officials. Many men as they passed by in line were asked the amount of education, and the almost invariable answer was "about two or three years in public school." When these men learned that classes in reading, writing and English grammar would be established soon at the army Y. M. C. A. and they would have opportunity to attend, men lingered to ask questions, signifying their intention to enroll at the first opportunity. Illiteracy among southern Negroes will place many northern colored men in line for non-commissioned officer positions in the regiments. The average northern Negro has had at least a common school education. Those who do not win out in noncom jobs will undoubtedly be appointed company clerks. A shortage of clerks for the Negro organizations caused registration officers to ask each man if he is able to read and write. Fifty per cent of the southern men have answered in the negative, while 95 per cent of the northern Negroes have this accomplishment. Birmingham Quota Here. The city of Birmnigham, Ala., has furnished a large number of men in this first increment of Negroes, about 40 per cent coming from that city. The remainder of efferson county is supplying about 15 per cent of the remainder. Workers, cotton gin workers and is make up the occupation of the ma-ny of southern men. Only a few specialists have been sent, a number of triem being automobile drivers and mechanics. The latter are to be sent to the supply and headquarter companies, in the hope that they will be of more service there than in plain infantry organizations. Morals of Negroes are good, at least physical examinations point to that supposition. Medical officers in charge say that there is little disease in the system of the Negroes, much less in fact than among white men. With muster for pay held in all organizations at the cantonment yesterday, all Negroes in the Three Hundred Sixty-ninth infantry stood the formation, and although those from the south reported today, they will be given four days' pay, it i sthought, as they reported to their exemption boards last Sunday, starting north Monday. Officers of the regiment are doing everything possible to impress upon the new soldiers that they are to be treated fairly while in the service of the United States. Hot Coffee on Arrival. When the men arrived from Alabama, about 2 a.m. yesterday, they found hot coffee and lunch awaiting them. After this they were shown to their barracks, where cots and blankets had been provided, placed there by northern Negroes who reported early in the week. The trip north was marked by new experiences for the majority of the 1,770. For many of them it was the first ride on a train. For all drafted men Pullmans were a luxury, something they had never dreamed of before. At various places in the north, patriotic societies rewarded selected men with lunches and words of good cheer. The most momentous event, aside from the ride in Pullmans, however, was the farewell given by the white and colored population of Birmingham. A large parade was conducted just before departure, which followed a banquet. Later.—This morning another division arrived, consisting of 1,600. START RIOT TRIAL AT SAN AN TONIO. Sixty-four Soldiers Under Court Martial For Uprising. San Antonio, Tex., Nov. 1.—Sixty-three soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry on guard duty at Camp Logan, Houston, who were placed on court martial trial here today on charges of mutiny, murder and rioting in Houston on the night of August 23, last, during which twenty-two lives were lost, armed themselves and left the camp in disobedience to orders from Maj. B. S. Snow, after he had warned them of the consequences and advised them that Corporal Chas. W. Baltimore Negro soldier had not been killed by Houston police officers. Major Snow testified this afternoon. earlier reports, Major Snow said, were that Baltimore had been killed and the Negro soldiers were incensed. Major Snow of the Twenty-fourth infantry was in command of the Third battalion of the infantry, members of which participated in the shooting up of Houston. He was the only material witness at the first day of the military trial. Trial in Chapel. The trial is being held in Gift chapel at Camp Travis, which has been converted into a temporary court room. Armed guards with fixed bayonets are stationed at ponds of vantage n the auditorium and spacious yard surrounding the building during the course of the trial. Spectators are permitted in the gallery. All of the defendants were seated in the court room. There were originally sixty-four defendants, but one, Grant Anderson, ill of pneumonia, was unable to attend. The defendants entered pleas of not guilty when court opened. Industry of Genius. Most writers recognized as possessed of genius or of great talent have been voluminous producers. In most cases their talent or genius, as a rule, after being stimulated by success, has literally taken possession of them and forced them to work hard and persistently. Balzac used to have rages of industry lasting for many hours and leaving him exhausted. Scott's prodigious industry was due mainly to his determination to pay off a heavy indebtedness. Dickens was marvelously industrious. But Thackeray was lazy and used to suffer greatly from the thought of work undone. His rages of work were not voluntary, like Balzac's, but inspired by desperateness. But he could take a theme for a novel and stick to it till he had produced a monumental work. If he had loved his work more, however, he might have made the world even richer than he did by his unique gift and he might have discovered in himself unsuspected veins of genius.—Exchange. The War Garden. Representative Mason of Illinois said in Chicago the other day: "One way to keep down prices is for every family to set up its own vegetable garden, but the trouble is that most of us are as ignorant of gardening as the chap who wrote to the seedsman: "As I wish to do my bit for the allies by growing my own provisions on a strip of rocky ground back of my house, please send me, f. o. b. one dozen potato seeds, one bee with hive complete, one dozen fruit seeds assorted, ten square yards of grass, one path, six feet of wall flowers with wall, and one dozen flour plants. I am especially particular about the grass, which should be green, and not the brown kind I see in so many gardens." Ready-Made Pie Crust! Someone has invented a ready-made ple crust that will keep a year. By the evidences that have been encountered it might be judged that many ambitious cooks have been experimenting for a long time with this object in view. We can guess now where some of these new composition shoe soles originated.—Providence Bulletin. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1917. ARE BURIED ALIVE Hindu Ascetics Revived After Three Months Under Ground. Returned Missionary Tells of Remarkable Performance of Religious Fanatics in India. Rev. Dr. J. C. R. Ewing, missionary to India, who recently returned to the United States after 38 years in the country of the rajahs and mahatmas, was discussing the miraculous things reported of the Hindu ascetics and admitted that he has been obliged to tell of some things which he has seen, but does not understand. Doctor Ewing said: "It is certainly true that the Hindu magicians perform some tricks which our best sleight-of-hand performers are unable to approach. I have seen some things without being able to account for them, but I am, nevertheless, certain that they are all tricks. One of the best of these was an exhibition with cards. The performer placed a deck of cards upright in a glass. Then, taking another deck, he exposed a card and calling "come, come" several times in his native language, the identical card which he was exhibiting rose out of the deck in the glass and stood where it could be seen by a large audience right on top of the deck, the performer at the same time exhibiting the card which he had selected. I believe that this was due to clever manipulation, though I suppose some persons would ascribe it to telepathy. "I have seen the trick of making a plant grow from a seed before the eyes, and this, too. I believe, is the result of manipulation. A curtain is placed around the vessel and then removed, and the plant shown expanding and growing. "Somewhat more difficult to be skeptical about, however, are the performances of the Hindu ascetics, and some of these are possibly the results of religious fanaticism. I know of the case of a man who lay 14 years on a bed of spikes. That is, he was said to have lain there 14 years. Eventually, of course, he died of his sufferings. I saw the man myself, and there was no reason to doubt the tales of the length of time of his torture. "I know also that the stories of men going into a catalytic state and being buried are true. The tongue is pulled out as far as it can be pulled and then turned back into the victim's throat and he becomes unconscious, all animation being apparently suspended. He is buried, and after remaining in the ground for a period as long as three months in some cases, he is dug up and resuscitated. "The theory upon which these tortures are endured is that our separate existence is a mistaken notion and that only by asceticism is it possible to overcome the mistake and realize unity with all things. The teaching which has been evolved by the Hindu ascetics is very beautiful and very attractive for a certain type of mind, but it is after all nothing but a form of atheism. The Christian religion it spreading rapidly in India, especially among the lower classes and we have great difficulty in taking care of the converts. Among the higher classes it is spreading, too, although formal assent to it is slow on account of the severity of the caste ostracism which follows conversion. The English government has the country well in hand and it would seem that the country is destined for a very rapid development both in Christianity and democracy. Old Emperor Saw Clearly. In 1875, when France was recovering from the war of 1870-71, the German government, or at least the military party, it was said, was proposing to crush her once more. When Delane became satisfied as to the accuracy of the report, he published, on May 6, the story. "The effect produced by the revelation of the German plot was instantaneous, universal and profound. Both the Russian emperor and Queen Victoria appealed to the German emperor to stay his hand. The German emperor denied the truth of the queen's allegations, and a sentence in his letter is worth recalling today in the reign of his grandson: 'No one is more thoroughly convinced than the writer that he who provokes a war in Europe will have the whole of public opinion against him, and will accordingly have no ally, no neutrale bienveillant, but, rather, adversaries.'" Must Sleep. It was nearly noon when the lrate traveling man found the night clerk of the little hotel in a North Carolina town. "I told you to call me for the two o'clock train. Now I have to lose twenty-four hours' time. Why didn't you call me? "I couldn't very well," explained the clerk cheerfully. "I just got up myself."—"Everybody's Magazine.

Iowa Freigh Paid Why Should We Wash? Why Should We Wash? Why does a boy object to washing his neck and ears? Or object still more seriously to having them washed? I have evolved a scientific and psychological reason which is a complete answer to the question, but I prefer to answer it by making a personal confession based on my own boyhood experience, says Edwin Puller in the Mother's Magazine. As a small boy, I objected to washing my own ears because I could not see the dirt and because I believed it unnecessary waste of time which might be used more profitably in play; and I strenuously objected to my mother performing the operation because she always hurt me. There is no period of the boy's life more trying to the parent than the period between eight and twelve, except only the age of early adolescence. The chief characteristic of early boyhood is individualism. He now recognizes himself as an individual entity not correlated to society at large. He feels no obligation to humanity because he does not yet realize that he is an integral part of it. His individualism manifests itself in selfishness and self-centeredness. Spirit of Martyrdom Here and there may be found persons not recognized as great and yet really great. They are working for great ideas. For their efforts they may be severely punished. Can it be said of them that the rest will follow? Surely it can. They are the ploneers. They blaze the paths for other great persons who reap the reward of what they have done. They are very pathetic, these martyrs. And yet, in a sense, they are not pathetic at all. They have the joy of working for something worth while, even of suffering for it and perhaps going down to seeming defeat. Theirs is the spirit that animates many of the young men at this moment offering their lives to their country. Suddenly, they means of their self-sacrifice, life is become enhanced for them and dead. itself has taken on a kind of beauty. New York Evening Telegram.

Hill of the Great Northern railroad and Secretary of State Julius Schmall. Afterwards they listened to a splendid program, consisting of speech making and music, until a late hour, when all returned to their respective homes, wishing the boys good luck. They will go in training at Camp Dodge. At the suggestion of Mr. Louis W. Hill and Robt. Mills it was decided to provide a farewell dinner for all drafted men and their wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts at Union hall on Monday evening at 6.30, to be followed by a reception Tuesday morning.

THE BYSTANDER 'TORPEDO MINE' NEW MENACE Weapons Released by U-Boats Now Float When Power is Spent and Endanger Passing Ships. The newest engine of war to be introduced by the Germans is the "torpedo mine," according to the captain of a British merchant vessel who is also a reserve officer in the British navy. According to this captain, the new idea is just what the name implies and is nothing more than a spent torpedo that has missed its mark. In the past, when a torpedo was fired at a merchant or war vessel by a submarine and failed to strike the mark, the explosive tube kept on its course until its motive power died out, when it sank. Now, however, the Germans have perfected the torpedoes to such a degree that if one misses its target it will turn over and float when the propeller stops, becoming a high explosive mine. The torpedo nose becomes a detonating cap, as well as one or two more that are distributed over the tube. "Like the 'periscope mine,' which made its appearance when the British admiralty gave the order for all merchantmen to attempt to sink submarines by ramming them and offered a reward for each, the new mine was quickly discovered, and, according to the captain, is now carefully watched for. The merchant captain also had something to say about the art of camouflage which is now being used on merchant vessels to offset the submarines. "I have seen vessels painted so many different colors and in such odd ways that to attempt to describe them would be folly," he said. "I don't understand the work myself, but have seen some evidences of it at sea that have fooled me prettily." "I remember seeing one vessel in the danger zone not long ago that seemed to have a destroyer lying beside it. I thought the captain very fortunate to have such protection, but did not have time to envy him because of the dangers that confronted me. When I got to port the freighter came in and I noticed, much to my surprise, that it had a full-sized and rigged destroyer painted on each side amidships." When water is added to calcium oxide, or quicklime, the lime expands slowly with almost irresistible force. This property of quicklime was utilized recently to break up pliers twelve feet wide, twenty feet long and twelve feet high. The pliers stood between similar pliers that supported engines in constant operation and therefore had to be removed without injury to the machinery. It was impossive to blast the pliers, and hand cutting was too slow and expensive. The work was accomplished by drilling three-inch vertical holes, three feet deep and three feet apart in both directions, over the entire area of the pliers and filling them within six inches of the top with fresh slaked lime. In pieces one-half inch to one and a half inches wide. As soon as the lime was thoroughly wet the tops of the holes were filled with brick dust, which was well tamped. In about ten minutes cracks started in every direction and the entire top of the foundation pier was broken into three-foot cubes. Where Affliction Is Qualification An unusual advertisement appeared in a Chicago paper recently, desiring the services of five humpbacked men. The explanation of this strange want is even more interesting than the announcement, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. It seems that a large envelope factory, unable to fill its orders, decided to work nights as well as days. Long experience had demonstrated that in the use of certain machines women were better operators than men by reason of their hands being more delicate and nimble. The owner does not believe in factory work at night for women, and the men proved clumsy and slow. It was then he set about to seek men who were well but physically incapable of heavy work. He decided that humpbacks had the necessary qualifications of more agile and sensitive touch, and an actual test proved such to be the fact. Hence the advertisement. When he came into the room where she sat he was struck at once by her marvelous beauty. At first she did not observe him, but finally she glanced in his direction. There was something about him that caused her to unbend from her hauteur. She fell quickly into his vein of merry banter, and when at last he left she rolled her eye at him. With that innate courtesy for which her hero was celebrated he picked up her glass eye and returned it to her. "Haven't you forgotten something, sir?" asked a waiter of a customer who was about to depart without giving the customary gratuity. "Dear me!" exclaimed the diner. "How fortunate it was you spoke! My wife told me not to spend my money foolishly, and I was just about to give you a tip!" Domestic Strategy. "I saw you rush out of your house this morning. Anything wrong?" "Nothing serious. I had been having some words with my wife and was just executing a 'restart to victory.'" "I can understand the retreat, but where did the victory come in?" "I got away without having to write a check." Blasting With Lime A. Novctette Happy Thought. Domestic Strategy. Notice to Redeem from Tax Sale State of Iowa, Polk county, ss. To J. M.

THE BYSTANBER SAVED HER JEWELS Former Russian Czarina Sent Gems to Germany. Treasure Estimated to Be Worth $100, 000,000 Kept Out of Hands of the Revolutionists. The Russian royal jewels, including the gems that incrusted the Imperial Romanoff crown, are safe from the democratic hands of the new rulers in Petrograd. With a woman's intuitive knowledge of trouble ahead, the former czarina had them tucked away in a safe deposit vault in her ancestral city of Darmstadt, Germany, right at the beginning of the war. And there they will remain until Mr. and Mrs. Romanoff claim them again, says the New York Tribune. The story of the Russian royal jewels is told in the Chronicle by a writer who says that the former czarina was largely responsible for the war, in that she assured her German friends and relatives that Russia would not be a inviolable antagonist. She proceeded to prove this antebellum prediction by pro-German intrigue which ended with the revolution and the overthrow of the Romanoff dynasty. But the former czarina, who, before her marriage was Princess Alexandra Alice of Hesse, had no illusions about Germany. Accordingly, she packed up the family jewels in the summer of 1914, when she saw the international war clouds appear, and sent them in charge of trusted messengers to her brother, the grand duke of Hesse, for safe keeping till peace was restored. The royal emissaries traveled by the way of Finland and Sweden. They reached their destination before the mobilization of the Russian army was complete. The tale of the czarina's German forcandedness in the matter of saving the family gems is said to have been revealed by members of the Russian commission, who visited New York city recently. A New York society woman had her eye peeled for bargains in royal jewelry and approached members of the commission on the subject of purchasing a string of rare pearls which she had seen the former czarina wear at a fashionable European resort some years ago. She was told that she would have to talk to Mrs. Romannoff or her brother, the grand duke of Hesse. Ivan Narodny, Russian business man and writer of New York, corroborated the article in the Chronicle. Mr. Narodny said it was impossible to place an exact value on the royal jewels, but estimated that they ought to bring close to $100,000,000 in the market. He said they were of far greater intrinsic value than the historic jewels deposited in the Kremlin, which are safe. The disappearance of the royal jewels became known about a month after the revolution, when the provisional government's appraisers were taking an inventory of the Hermitage, one of the structures of the winter palace, where the treasures were supposed to be kept, according to Mr. Narodny. "When the vaults of the Hermitage were opened the jewel boxes were gone," said Mr. Narodny. "The imperial crown reposed on its silk cushion in one chamber of the vault, but all of its stones were found to be of taste." Woman Captures Eagle Mrs. Winthrop Howland of the El Chivar Goat ranch in Live Oak Canyon came out victor in a battle with a golden eagle and the big bird is now a captive at the ranch, says a Redlands (Cai.) dispatch. Mrs. Howland noticed the bird alight in a peach tree. It appeared to be exhausted, so she grabbed one leg and then the battle started. Mrs. Howland saw that she was in for a fight, and not daring to let loose of the bird, made a dive for its neck, and was lucky enough to get hold of it. She was thus able to keep the bird from biting her, but it beat at her with its wings. She managed to get it into a pigeon corral and then found that she was almost exhausted by the fight. The eagle is a large one, and measures about six feet from tip to tip. When Mrs. Howland made an examination she found that she had been wounded, but not seriously.
