Sanctuary of Home Is Desecrated by Unfaithful Wife and Her Lover, Both of Whom Are Killed by Infuriated Husband in Tulsa was shocked Sunday morning to hear the news that Henry Knox had shot and killed his wife and a Santa Fe train porter named Greene Gaston of Kansas City, formerly of Chanute, Kans., at the former's home on North Greenwood at a late hour Saturday night. Knox is well known in Tulsa and has a good reputation as a good provided and a kind husband. He has worked at night as watchman at one of the down town theaters for several years. He married the woman he killed about two years ago and for a time they got along happily together. Later, however, the husband became dissatisfied and succeeded in obtaining a divorce from his wife, but it was later set aside and they patched up their differences and started on their matrimonial life again. But the dove of peace and the goddess of love were soon driven from the home again by dart suspicions which found lodgment in the husband's mind. He knew things were not going well at his home and set about to find the cause. Learning by careful investigation that a certain railroad porter named Gaston was in the habit of visiting his home at night after 10 o'clock which was Knox's QUARTERLY MEETING AT ALLEN CHAPEL, SUNDAY, JUNE 7. 1 Dr. G.

He went to the depot and waited for Gaston and warned him to stay away from his home. I don't like the way things are going," he told the porter "and it might be best for you not to go there any more." The porter accepted the warning without protest and promised to heed it. But this he did not do. Instead he picked his chances and continued to visit the Knox home while Knox was away at work. Saturday night Knox kissed his wife goodbye as usual, and left his home presumably to go to work but instead he secretly returned and stationed himself under the bed in their bed room. He waited an hour or more before seeing anything to confirm his dark suspicion. The truth of his suspicion was soon realized however, when Gaston entered and Mrs. Knox sent her brother out to look for a lunch. In the meantime the Knox woman and Gaston danced around in the bed room in time to piano music from a house close by not dreaming that the eyes of the infuriated husband were upon them and that their end in death—a most ignominious death—was so near upon them. The couple hugged and kissed and engaged in other indecencies by both act and conversation, according to the story given by the man under the bed. The woman's brother soon returned with a lunch and the death feast was spread which was devoured by Mrs. Knox, Gaston and another couple whose names could not be learned. After the lunch was devoured Gaston and Mrs. Knox went outside to draw some water. Upon their return to the bed room the doors were locked and Gaston pulled off his coat while Mrs. Knox took her place on the bed where Gaston soon joined her. It was in this position that Knox found them when he crawled from his place of concealment under the bed. AT 3:00 P. M. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917. P. RT. REV. LYNWOOD W. KYLES The twenty-eight session of the Missouri Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church began Wednesday morning at St. James' Church, 1809 Woodland avenue, with Bishop L. W. Kyles presiding. After the usual opening ceremonies the various committees were appointed and adjournment taken until evening where Rev. J. C. Dunbar of Jefferson City preached an able and eloquent annual sermon after which one of the church officers, Dr. T. C. Unthank, Rev. W. H. Thomas and N. C. Crews delivered addresses of welcome, fittingly responded to by Prof. J. W. Martin, Secretary of Education, and Bishop Kyles. The second day was devoted to reports and in the afternoon the School of the Prophets was held while at night the Missionary services were held, Mrs Lucy Bledsoe of St. Louis presiding Friday, usual routine, and at night the Educational Meeting was held. Sat PROPHET MINOR SPEAKS. Time of Revelation Began 8:30 A. M. June 11, 1917. Thus saith the Lord of Host concerning Isaiah's vision, the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem the days Uzzith, Jotham Ahaz and Hezeikah, king of Judah. Thus saith—the God of Heavens "Give ear old earth these names are spiritually unto your Country and Government." The vision which troubled Isaiah's head on June 5, 1917, and time of the hour was twelve minutes after twelve; I am Alpha the first and the last. Talking unto him and telling him to write what I reveal unto him, then I wrote what my father revealed unto me. I saw an ark angel by the name of Gabriel who was clothed with majesty with sword in one hand and hell—death and destruction was on New York City. Near the harbor vengeance was sworn on New York City and one-fifth of that city would be destroyed. Your God and Father saith the mystery of the interpretation belongs to Him. The sun, moon and stars obeyed. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts the revelation of mystery of the vision is Revelation 18, Chapter, 19 verse; Psalma 77, verse 19. Jeremiah 5 Chapter, 15 verse. God talks now that I sent my son in yonder world to testify of the things which shortly cometh to pass who bear the name of Isaiah Minor prophet who bear record of me and I of him. Thus saith the Lord of Hosts. Look behold urday will be devoted to committees and at night a lecture on Africa by Mrs. Edmonson, Missionary. Sunday General Worship and at night announcement-of appointments. The Conference is made up of able men and to hear the learned, eloquent and kindly Bishop Kyles who has the hypnotic personality of the late Bishop Grant and the Chesterfieldian dignity of Bishop Derrick is to learn to love and admire him instantly. His eloquent and impression address last Wednesday night captivated all who heard him and Allen Chapel A. M. E. Church, through its pastor, Dr. Thomas, extended him a unanimous invitation to speak for them at any time he can arrange. Among the notable delegates in attendance is the brilliant Dr. B. G. Shaw of St. Louis, the greatest financier of the race and pastor of a church which boasts of 3500 members. He will preach at Allen Chapel Sunday morning. the record that he bore to me.

JOURNEYMEN BARBERS ARE TO MEET SUNDAY, JUNE 17 AT 2122 VINE ST. AT 3:00 P. M. The barbers of Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan., are invited to spend just one hour in the discussion of plans toward forming an Independent Union of Colored Barbers. "If we can run churches, lodges and other institutions without the aid of the white men we can run an industrial union." Mr. T. D. Henderson, the well known barber of 1609 E. 18th street, Kansas City, Mo., will act as chairman. Rucker Smith will talk on organization. A FINE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY. WANTED—A hustling Colored man with $1,000 to buy one-half interest in a prosperous business concern. For further particulars see Fortune J. Weaver, 1510 East Eighteenth Street. THE COLONEL WANTED COLORED TROOPS. Two Colored Regiments for the Roosevelt Division. Washington, D. C.—it now transpires that it was the intention of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt to take with him to France at least two colored regiments instead of one as has been generally published, if President Wilson had accepted the tender of himself and associates. This fact is disclosed in a recent letter addressed by Colonel Roosevelt to his friend, Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, who was for so many years an ambassador between the Fighting Colonel and the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, whose political relations are revealed at considerable length in the recently issued biography, "Booker T. Washington, Builder of a Civilization." Colonel Roosevelt in his letter to Mr. Scott writes: Metropolitan, 432 Fourth Avenue, New York, May 17, 1917. Office of Theodore Roosevelt. My dear Mr. Scott: If the volunteer organizations, provided for by Congress, are allowed, I should like to use at least two colored regiments. One of these should be under Lieutenant Colonel Young, who is admirably fitted for the work. I should hope that he would consult with you about some of the men for officers, but he would himself be the best judge about the officers. The other I should hope would be under another regular army officer, with William J. Schieffelin as Lieutenant Colonel. I trust you will make inquiries and recommend to Mr. Schieffelin colored men of the highest standing and fitness for the work, who could be appointed as some of the officers of the regiment. Faithfully yours, (Signed) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. Mr. Eunnett J. Scott. It will thus be seen that if the volunteer division provided for by Congress had been approved by President Wilson, two regiments of fighting colored men would have shared the dangers of the present European War with the Sage of Sagamore Hill. Colonel Roosevelt shows his confidence in the ability of the Negro to command such organizations by naming specifically Lieutenant Colonel Young, the only living Negro graduate of West Point now serving in the regular army. Lieutenant Colonel Young, it will be remembered, has seen much of foreign service already, and has done a large amount of technical work for the United States Government, both in Haiti and in Liberia. His record is one to be proud of, and on the strength of it he won the second Spingarn Medal. Dr. William J. Schieffelin, the New York philanthropist and business man, is a trustee of both Hampton Institute and Tuskegee Institute, and has shown the most cordial spirit of friendly interest in all that concerns the welfare of the Negro. Colonel Roosevelt's choice of him as an important officer in the second colored regiment would have been entirely gratifying to the colored people in general. Colonel Roosevelt's letter also indicates that he continues to look to Tuskegee Institute for co-operation in the same way as he looked to the late Booker T. Washington, to whom he pays high tribute in the recently printed biography above referred to. There is still insistent call throughout the country for Colonel Roosevelt to represent the United States on the firing line in France. One of these calls has even come from Paris, France from former Premier Clemenceau, in an open letter addressed to President Wilson, in which Mr. Clemenceau says: "In invaded France at the present hour there is a name which represents by I know not what force of intuition, the beauty of America's intervention—it is that of Roosevelt. You are too much a philosopher not to know that great popular leaders have influenced men with or without their assistance, has formed around them. Whatever may be the reasons and without attempting to analyze the phenomenon, I yield to the imperious need to tell you that the name of Roosevelt has in our country at this time a legen dary power. It would be an enormous error in my view to neglect a force with everything urges us to make use of as soon as possible. We have learned that the first American unit has arrived at the front and with best generals and privates saluted the noble starred banner. However, you should know, Mr. President that more than one stout chevrooned poilu said to his comrade, in an astonished voice 'But where is Roosevelt? I don't see him.'" There is no question that the name of Roosevelt not only inspires the poilu in the trenches, but also strikes a responsible chord in many breasts of America's noblest sons, white and black. It may yet develop that the Colonel will be able to respond to the appeal of Mr. Clemenceau and lead to the front the thousands of Americans eager to fight under his leadership. THE ILLINOIS RIOTS The East St. Louis race riots, it appears, have been controlled and the mob spirit has subsided under the exercise of the military authority invoked. Thus one more discreditable page has been written in the history of the race animosities in America and one more temporary "finis" has been affixed to that page, the deplorable story to be rewritten as often as unbridled hatred and passion shall indite it. The American people were long in forgiving Charles Dickens for his biting sarcasm in commenting upon the fact that they "dreamed of freedom in a slave's embrace." It was a stinging indictment of a nation's inconsistency, but the people need another Dickens to arraign in fitting terms the inconsistency of dreaming of industrial freedom while visiting upon inoffensive representatives of the same black race the denial of rights solemnly guaranteed by the organic law of the land, the exercise of which does not in the remotest degree involve any of the issues of "social equality" or "the black man's crime." As the St. Louis Globe-Democrat points out, the 1,000 Negroes who have been driven from East St. Louis were generally honest, industrious and lawabiding citizens. The workers in the packing houses, who were the instigating cause of the riots, were engaged in arduous and necessary labor, labor which white men as a rule refuse to do because of its character. There was no crime committed by any of these men. There was no reason why they should not exercise the right to earn an honest living by honest toil. There was still less reason why they should not have been protected in that right, instead of being driven from their homes and from the community where they had ever moral and legal right to be. It is a blot on the name of Illinois, the state where the immortal Lincoln is buried and in which Owen Lovejoy was murdered, that such things should take place. Americans are expending an immense amount of indignation just now at the outrages inflicted by the Germans upon the helpless Belgians and French. They have not ceased to thrill with horror at the wrongs inflicted by the despots of the old Russia upon their semi-serfs. They are wrought up to a fervid pitch by the deportation of Armenians by the Turks. Why would it not be opportune and consistent to expend a little indignation upon the arbitrary and absolutely illegal deprivation by Americans of the rights of black men to work for a living? If they can contemplate with equanimity the spectacle of an American mob putting a Negro fiend into a steel cage and burning him to death, they ought at least to protect inoffensive and lawabiding blacks in their inherenet right to work for their livelihood. Dickens is dead these many years. America no longer dreams of political slavery in a slave's embrace. But the nations must temper its indignation at wrongs practiced across the sea in the name of despotism and race hatred when identical wrongs are visited upon American citizens by un-American Americans of the superior race.

The arrest of O. C. Green, one of the best known railroad porters in this city on the charge of RAPE has occasioned more comment than anything that has happened in the race recently and has engendered quite a bit of feeling on both sides of the controversy. Green, who is 33 years old and married, resides at 1622 Park avenue, and recently took in as roomers Mr. and Mrs. Wanzer Rector. Mr. Rector is also a railroad porter and well known, having conducted a saloon in this city for several years. His wife is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Groves of Edwardsville, Kansas. Mrs. Rector alleges that one morning last week while her husband was out on his run Green came to the door of her room and made indecent proposals to her and when she indignantly spurned them and ordered him out of her room he shut the door and ferociously assaulted her and by brute strength accomplished his purpose. She immediately dressed herself and hurried to the neighbor women and informed them of what had occurred. They advised her to notify her husband and father which she did and a warrant was issued for Green's arrest. Mr. Green alleges that it is a "frame up" and that Mrs. Rector has been flirting with him for sometime and that it was at her invitation that he was in her room. The preliminary hearing of the case was held Tuesday in Justice Setzler's Court and Green was bound over on a $2,000 bond to the Criminal Court. All the parties concerned are prominent in Colored society, Green and Rector running opposite each other on the Santa Fe. Green is a son of the late Rev. Henry Green of Independence, Mo., While Rector is well known in Chillicothe where he was reared and is a nephew of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Burnett of this city. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH.

At Topeka he finished the public and high schools and was graduated from the Classical Course of the Washburn College in that city.

Keep cool! All signs indicate that there are better days coming for the American Negro. The coming of the Zion Conference to our city this week has brought a splendid body of men presided over by a distinguished Bishop who measures up to the highest possibilities of the distinguished office which he so acceptably fills. In Bishop Kyle, not only the Church, but the entire Race has a man of whom we have a right to be proud, and the Conference possesses many intellectual giants. WELCOME! NORMAL SCHOOL FOR COLORED TEACHERS. Nearly fifty teachers of the Colored schools are enrolled in the Summer training school which began this week and the greatest interest is being taken by both teachers and instructors. In the white organization the enumeration has not reached the three hundred mark, which fact gives the Colored teachers a per centage twice as great and shows that our instructors are not lacking in professional zeal. In addition to this showing, several Colored teachers are attending Summer school elsewhere. REV. DAN SAWYERS AFFLICTED. God, ex-slave, ex-soldier, race advocate, is seriously afflicted at his home in Chillicothe. A representative of the Sun called upon Father Sawyer a few days ago and found him very feeble, though still fired with his old time religious and patriotic zeal. He talks much of his race, its moral, civic and industrial welfare, and, though far past eighty years of age, and having spent over fifty years in unselfish public service, lamented the fact that he could do n o more for his people. Since that time he has rapidly failed, his mental faculties becoming more and more obscure, and we have just learned that he has been removed to a sanitarium. Our representative was deeply impressed by the perfectly rational words of the veteran preacher a few days ago when among other things he spoke of several of his ministerial friends who had neither called upon him nor answered his letters. It is now quite improbable that he will recover. Thousands of converts, friends and others who have profited through his labor and generosity will mourn his present condition. He has lived out h is four-score years, he has fought a good fight, his name is without blemish and the God Whom he has faithfully served will do all the rest. * Dr. L. J.

Indianapolis, June 5.—Danny Shay, former manager of the Milwaukee American association baseball club, who shot and killed a Negro waiter at English’s cafe on the Brewers last ap- pearance in this city, was arraigned in criminal court before Judge Collins yesterday on a charge of second de- gree murder. He waived preliminary examination and formally entered a plea of not guilty to the charge. Judge Collins did not set a date for the trial, but it is understood it will be early next month or carried over until the Sep- tember session of the court. Shay is held without bond and it is through the self defense plea that the attorneys for Shay hope to win his freedom at the trial. ‘The Negroes have secured a lead- ing white attorney to assist the prose- ‘eution.

Ives Larry Graves had always been having accidents during the span of his twenty-eight years, but as he always escaped without being mained for life, one more didn't seem to count in the scheme of things. So when he opened his eyes in a room with a sewing machine, a work basket, and "women's nixn's," he began to try to account for his unusual surroundings. He remembered spinning along through a very pretty country road in a hired automobile, then another car darted at him around a corner, there was a terrific impact, and his mental machinery stopped working. He now became conscious that a kindly faced elderly woman, rather short and stout, was looking at him. "Did I come through the window?" he asked. "No; but you were thrown clear over the fence into the garden," she answered. "What did I spoil?" "Nothing but a few onlons." He stuffed with a realizing sense of her truthfulness. "I'm glad it wasn't the cabbages." "Why? he querted. "Because they would have been so much harder to fall on." He smiled graterfully. "But I am glad you weren't killed." "That's kind," he said. "I supposed it wouldn't concern anyone around here but me." "What is it?" she asked, seeing his face twist with pain. "There's something wrong with this foot." "Yes, the shoe is nearly torn off. Keep as quiet as you can. Ruth has A "We Are So Glad You Weren't Killed." gone to the nearest place to telephone for the doctor." "What became of the fellow driving the machine?" "Oh, he wasn't so badly hurt but he could go back to town in the other man's car; but we thought you ought to be brought in here." Someone ran quickly up the steps, and a young girl entered the room. "Mother, Doctor Cary will be here in a few minutes. Oh," she added, seeing the patient looking at her. "we are so glad you weren't killed." Apparently a kindly feeling ran in the family, and Graves felt it incumbent on him to express his thanks. The doctor found that the foot had been badly twisted, and one of the small bones broken; he could not tell yet but that there might be internal injuries, and he told Mrs. Fenness if she could manage to look after the young man for a few days it would be much better than to try to move him just then. Mrs. Fenness could and would. Tuth was a bit shy at first about being alone with the stranger, when her mother was obliged sometimes to leave him in her care. She had never had a brother, her father had died when she was a little child, and the two women had lived alone. It was the first time she had seen a man as an inmate of their little home, though she was nearly twenty years old, and had been teaching the village school for two years. It was the summer vacation now, and she had time to help her mother. Larry Graves, with the usual unreasonableness of a convalescent, seemed to require more and more of her attention. Whether this was assumed with an ulterior motive will never be known, but Ruth, gentle and deft of touch, made a good nurse, and stranger still began to delight in her work. Her patient was now so improved, they held long conversations. Then one day something struck cold at her heart. What should she do when he went away? "Do you know a man around here named Laskey--George Laskey?" he asked one morning. "Yes," she said, pausing. "I wish I didn't." "Why?" he questioned. He is pushing us hard about some money we owe him. You see our little income stopped for a while through the dishonesty of a man, there had to be a lawsuit and a good deal of money paid out to get what belonged to us. Mother tried to sell some mining shares to Mr. Laskey, but he said they were worthless, and insisted on taking a mortgage on this place. We've kept up the interest, but now the time is up, he won't renew the mortgage, and we can't possibly pay it just now. "How much is it?" he asked. "Five hundred dollars." "Do you mean that that old skinflint is pushing you for that little amount? Why, he has oodles of money." "Yes," assented Ruth, "but that doesn't seem to make any difference." doesn't seem to make any difference." "I came out here to attend to some law business for that man. You see that's my trade," he smiled into Ruth's astonished eyes, "and I wish you could get a message to him from me. I want him to call." Ruth and her mother both had something of a chill when Mr. Laskey stood at the door, but he was promptly ushered into the patient's room, and left alone with him. They were not to escape, as they had hoped to. When the interview was over he sought them in the living room. "I don't know as you know that's my nephew," he said. Both women disclaimed the knowledge with great surprise. "No wonder he didn't want to be known. He ain't much credit to himself, nor anybody connected with him. Time was when I would have made something of him. I meant to leave him all my money. But not one penny does he get now. You'd better not believe anything he says." After he had gone, both sat silent. Then Mrs. Fenness, with a sigh, said: "My, isn't that too bad!" "It isn't true!" flared up Ruth. "Td believe Mr. Graves every time before him." With this faith in her heart Ruth said nothing to the young man of what had passed. That evening Graves told her he would take up the mortgage, and let her have the $500 to pay off Laskey. Ruth tried to stammer out her gratitude, and called her mother in consultation. Then Graves wrote a check for $500, and handed it to the still amazed elder woman. "Now," said Graves. "I want to give you a bit of advice. Pay off this man, but don't sell the place to him or anyone till you consult me. Do you know why he wanted to see me? A new railroad is coming through here. All this property is going to double in value. He wants to get it in his hands. He wanted me, too, to use some little influence I have with two of the principal men in the new company about the location of the station. He's just furious because I wouldn't fall in with his schemes. Now you hold on to your home. I'm not in any hurry about the money." A few days after he said to Mrs. Fenness: "There's one thing I've got to hurry you about. That's your consent to let me marry Ruth." "But Ruth—" stammered the mother. Then a pair of arms came around her neck, and a voice smothered against her breast whispered: "I love him." DESTROY ANTS WITH CANNON That Method Has Been Proved in Tropical Countries to Get the Best Results. It is hard to imagine big guns killing anything except men and horses. In South Africa and other tropical countries, however, they are used to kill ants—the termites, or warrior ants. These ants are as highly organized as the Huns. They live in a public of their own, and are divided into classes of workmen, soldiers, and queens. The workmen construct the huge nests, the soldiers defend them and keep order, and the females, or queens, are cared for by all the others. The ant heaps of these particular ants are often 20 feet high and pyramidal in shape. Cattle climb upon them without crushing them. A dozen men can find shelter in some of their chambers, and native hunters often lie in wait inside them when out after wild animals—after the nests have been deserted, of course. The ants construct galleries which are as wide as the bore of a large cannon, and which run 3 feet to 4 feet underground. If we built houses as big in proportion a working man would live in a dwelling as big as a pyramid of Egypt. These ants are frightfully destructive, and the only way to kill them off is to blow them and their nests to pieces with guns loaded with grape-shot. Cruel and Unusual Fun A burly man arose in a train that was passing into Kansas from Kansas City, Mo. "Gentlemen," he proclaimed, "I am in the alley so that I can search them." Visions of a jail sentence for having liquor in his possession flashed through the mind of a passenger half way down the car. Convulsively he threw his grip out of the window, and sat back, a nervous and thirsty man. When he found that the "sheriff" was only a traveling salesman having fun with evaders of the bone dry law, his nervousness grew upon him and his thirst became a thirst for blood.—Boston Transcript. THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917. Wilhelmshaven and Memel HARBOR SCENE AT WILHELMSHAVEN WILHELMSHAVEN, the scene of a terrific explosion which is supposed to have research present damage to chinery, soap and amberware. It most important business, however, waits export of grains and timber. It shipped each year timber to a value of the imperial docks and shipyards recently, is one of the two most important naval stations of the German empire, says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. Only sixty-five years ago the site of this now strongly fortified town of 35,000 inhabitants given over chiefly to shipyards, dry docks, fitting out harbors, iron foundries, boiler foundries and boiler factories, was a desolate, low-lying, marshy tract of land on the edge of a shallow inlet of the North sea, known as Jade Busen or Jade bay, which had been formed by inundations in the thirteenth and sixtenth centuries. In 1852, however, the nascent spirit of Prussianism awoke to the fact that the kingdom did not own a single inch of sea coast on the North sea. In order to acquire a foothold on the western shore of Europe the Prussian king purchased from the grand duke of Oldenburg the marsh, four square miles upon which now stands Wilhelmshaven, and the purchase price was 500,000 thulers (about $255,000). Seventeen Years Building Town. For seventeen years a large body of workmen was engaged at great expense in building the town, dredging the bay, and sinking piles in the peaty soil upon which to erect the docks and shipyards. It was a herculean task and frequently months of labor would be wiped out in a single hour by a high tide or a violent storm. In the end, however, the work was completed and the harbor was formally opened by King William, afterward Emperor William I, in the presence of many British naval officers who little imagined what a momentous ceremony they were witnessing, for with the dedication of Wilhelmshaven began in earnest the development of modern Germany's sea power. One of the odd difficulties with which Prussia had to contend in the building of Wilhelmshaven was the unfriendly attitude of the kingdom (soon therafter to become a Prussian province) of Hanover, which refused to allow the construction of a railroad across its territory from Prussia into Oldenburg, so that all the material for the harbor had to be shipped from Prussia by the long sea route. Wilhelmshaven is less than 40 miles in an airline northwest of Bremen, and is only 60 miles by rail from this great commercial center. The new harbor of Wilhelmshaven has an area of 170 acres and a depth of more than twenty-six feet. Memel, Germany's Northern City. Another of Germany's important seaports is Memel, in East Prussia, which the Russians partly destroyed early in the war. Memel is land's end for the Germans. It is the most northerly town in the empire, lying but a few miles from the Russo-German border. Before the war, Memel was a city of considerable consequence, a city rushed with commission business and a port whose harbor was always filled with sail and smoke columns. The port is midway upon the Baltic sea, conveniently placed for trade with Stockholm, Sweden, to the north; with Riga and Petrograd, Russia, to the northeast; with Copenhagen, Denmark, to the west, and with the many north German ports. It has an excellent harbor, well improved, protected by two lighthouses and by forts toward the open water. Memel was the center of the Baltic lumber trade. Great rafts of logs, hewn in the forests of Russian Poland and western Russia, were floated down the Niemae river and the Koenig Wilhelm canal every year, and the lumber product of the city's mills was distributed by the busy Memel fleet to every Baltic port, much of it going to Russia. Pole, Russian, Lett and German, during the years of peaceful effort fraternized in Memel's coffee houses beer gardens and in the tidy, pretentious little inn. Nimmersatt. Tilsit, a military and commercial center, is 58 miles south-southeast of Memel, while Koenigsberg, capital of East Prussia, lies 91 miles to the southwest. Memel had a well-to-do population of about 22,000 before the war. A city without poor and without a millionaire, it possessed a thriving trade in transit goods, agricultural and manufactured produce in international exchange. Was a Growing City. Memel had a growing industry—iron foundries, shipbuilding yards, and factories for the output of chemicals, ma chinery, soap and amberware. Its most important business, however, was its export of grains and timber. It shipped each year timber to a value of more than $5,000,000. Before all else, Memel was a growing seaport. It was drawing an even greater share of the distributing business of agricultural produce from the neighboring regions of the Russian Baltic provinces, and was developing close, fruitful business relations with Russian Poland, handling Polish timber, grain and meats, and making headway in the competition for handling the exports from the rich Polish manufacturing districts. Memel's position near the farms of East Prussia, near the fields and factories of Russia's Baltic provinces, and near the forests, farms and manufactories of Russian Poland gave the town great promise of becoming a rich city port. Like many of the well-placed cities commercial center. The town is given over almost entirely to the needs of the German navy. It has extensive arsenals and mine depots, machine shops, iron foundries and boiler shops. The imperial dockyards before being enlarged for the present emergencies included two large slipways, five immense floating docks, four smaller docks for the accommodation of torpedo-boats and seven dry docks. The shipyards are surrounded by lofty walls and access to the inclusion even prior to the outbreak of the war was very restricted. More than a third of the population of the town before the beginning of hostilities in 1914 was made up of army and naval forces. Like many of the well-placed cities of these northern coastlands, Memel was a foundation of those crusaders of the middle ages, who took their way north and spread their faith among the outlying peoples by brand and sword. It was founded by Poppo von Osterna, grandmaster of the Knights of the Teutonic Order, who fought the natives of Prussia, the Letts and Finns through generations to bring them within the fold of the Christian church. When founded in 1252, Memel was first called New Dortmund, and, later, Memelburg. The advanced Christian fortress early acquired an important trade, and became a member of the merchant trust, the Hanseatic league. Its place upon the borders of several unrelated peoples, however, while possessing the same advantages as today, possessed, also, the same disadvantages. It was burned several times by hostile forces during the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries. After the crushing defeat administered to Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia by Napoleon upon the field of Jena, the German monarch retired to isolated Memel, and here, in 1807, the treaty which was to have such far-reaching results was concluded between Great Britain and Prussia. VANISHING ART IN MASONRY Ancient New England Dry Walls Are Things of Beauty But Few Are Built Now. "In dry walls I think the old stone mason takes the greatest pride of all; for it is the dry wall—I mean by that a wall laid without mortar—that the sheer art of the mason comes most into play. Anyone can throw a wall together if he has a mortar to make it stick, but a dry wall must stand out for what it is, built solid from the bottom up, each stone resting securely upon the one below it, and braced and nested in by the sheer skill of the mason, writes David Grayson in the American Magazine. The art of the dry wall is the ancient heritage of New England and speaks not only of the sincerity and the conscientiousness of the old puritan spirit but strikes the higher note of beauty. Many of the older walls I know are worth going far to see, for they exhibit a rare sense of form and proportion, and are sometimes set in the landscape with a skill that only the Master Artist himself could exceed. Those old, hard-wrought stone fences of the Burnham hills and Crewsbury, the best of them, were honestly built, and built to last a thousand years. A beautiful art—and one that is passing away. It is the dry wall that stands of itself that the old stone mason loves best of all. Peculiar to Themselves. "How can I get to Flubdb's fish market?" "Follow your nose." "Follow my nose? Now that seems indefinite advice to give a man." "It is all right when hunting for a fish market." 一 Reculiar to Themselves ATTACKED BY AN ALLIGATOR New Maid in Home Which Shelters a Pampered Pet Dog Has a Most Exciting Experience. There are no children in this house in North Alabama street. They have grown up, married and gone away. Their absence is partly relieved by a small dog, a lively little terrier. This dog, as he is not permitted to associate with the rude dogs of the street, has playthings of different kinds, much like those that in other households, are bought for small boys and girls, says the Indianapolis News. The other day a new maid came into the house. She was tidying up the living room, and when drawing her broom from under a couch she gave a shriek of terror and ran into the yard, where some carpenters were at work. “There's some kind of a beast in there,” she said, “and I'm scared almost to death. A gallant young carpenter offered to go in and tackle the animal in its hair. He armed himself with a strip of scantling and went in. A moment later he was heard to strike. The new domestic, looking through a window, begged him to be careful and take no chances. "It jumped at me," said she, "when I hit it with the broom and it made an awful screech." The gallant young carpenter had been so fortunate as to cover the beast with the board and was standing on the scantling. When he had stood on it for five minutes and thought life must certainly be extinct, he stepped off and removed the board. As he did so there was a strange noise from the animal which jumped at the carpenter, who ran out to get assistance. By this time the mistress of the house had returned with the dog. "For goodness sakes," she said, "what on earth is the matter? Why all this excitement?" Before the question was answered the black-and-tan terrier ran into the house and out into the yard. In his mouth was the beast. It was one of his playthings, an India rubber alligator about eight inches long. "Land sakes!" said the new maid. But the gallant young carpenter said something different. Worthy of His Bank The recruit was having his first turn on sentry duty. "Now, remember your salutes," the corporal warned him. "If you see a lieutenant wearing one star, slope arms. For a captain with three stars slope arms also. The major has a crown on his straps, and you present arms. For the colonel, who has stars and a crown, you present arms and then turn out the guard." When he was left alone the recruit went over these orders again and again. Suddenly his musing was interrupted by the approach of an officer. This was a general, and the recruit did not know what to do for him. "An' what might you be?" he asked bluntly, unable to recognize the badge of the officer's rank. "I'm the general," replied the officer, affably. "Sure now, and are ye?" exclaimed the recruit in consternation. "Then ye'll want something big. How'd it do if I give ye a bayonet exercise?" A Predicament It was the night of nights. Isabella had said "yes." Isabella's father had said "yes," and Isabella's "young man" was happy. So was Isabella. Minutes ticked away as they sat hand-in-hand, not caring for conversation, blissfully content to sit and sit and sit in each other's proximity. But suddenly Isabella's young man grew restless. He began to twitch and pull fearsome faces. His facial contortions got worse and worse, till at last Isabella got scared and cried: "What is it, beloved? Tell your Isabella! Are you subject to fits?" "No, no, of course not," said the young man soothingly. "My eyeglasses are falling off and I don't want to let go of your lovely hands." Gurgles!—London Answers. Why Was Starling Introduced? Nobody seems to know what the starling was introduced into the United States for. It may have been thought that as a picturesque bird of marked personality and a classical inhabitant of the bowers of literature he would be a pleasing addition to our avi fauna. Attempts have been made to introduce the skylark and the European goldfinch, the latter with some success, the former without. They are songbirds. Except in a technical sense, the starling isn't, though occasional sweet pipings do vary his jarring cries, and he does surprising things as a mimic of other species. Taller in Morning. The very wise smile knowingly when someone offers the "foolish" assertion that a person is taller in the morning than in the evening. But just try it. Between the 24 vertebrae of the backbone are little disks of cartilage, and these during the course of the day are considerably compressed by the weight of the body, expanding again when the body is in a recumbent position. In the case of a heavy man of good average height, the difference in his height at morning and evening is generally about half an inch. Suspicious. "I can't find that record by Sousa's band; do you know what became of it?" "No! I guess somebody stole a march on us." WASHINGTON GOSSIP Proposed National Park in Vicinity of Capital Proposed National Park in Vicinity of Capital WASHINGTON,—At the recent national parks conference the proposal that certain lands in the vicinity of Washington should be converted into a national park was enthusiastically discussed and indorsed. One proposition lc features long familiar to Washington people and the conversion of the river from Great Falls to a point near the Little Falls into a lake also calls to mind a plan for conserving the high wooded lands along the river. It was a plan to which considerable publicity was given at and following the national conservation congress which was held at St. Paul, Minn., in 1910. Former Ambassador Bryce, once in speaking of the future of Washington city, said: "The Potomac has two kinds of beauty—the beauty of the upper stream, murmuring over a rocky bed between bold heights crowned with wood, and beauty of the wide expanse, spread like a lake below the city into a vast sheet of silver. On the north, east and west sides of Washington, and on the Virginia side also, the country is singularly charming, quite as beautiful as that which adjoins any of the great capital cities of Europe, except, of course, Constantinople, with its wonderful Bosporus. No European city has so noble a cataract in its vicinity as the Great Falls of the Potomac, a magnificent piece of scenery which you will, of course, always preserve. Nature has done so much that you are called upon to do more. You have such a chance offered to you here for building up a superb capital that it would be almost an act of ingratitude to Providence and to history and to the men who planned the city here if you did not use the advantages that you here enjoy." Amusements Provided for Soldiers in Camp Amusements Provided for Soldiers in Camp THE "Aldershot plan" of providing baseball, boxing, basket ball, track and field meets, football and other athletics at the army mobilization camps is to be followed in this country, according to an announcement by the morals and strength of their German opponents when they meet. The committee hopes to develop personal interest among the men in proficiency in bayonet exercises through employing it as a sport befitting soldiers. Singing also will be encouraged among the troops. Usually every battalion or similar unit organizes a glee club of its own as the men come to know one another; but the committee hopes, through the aid of choral societies in various cities, to develop larger choruses. Already theatrical concerns are volunteering their aid to the committee in providing amusement for the men. There is no doubt that the use of playhouses will be given free for that purpose, and that touring theatrical companies will visit the soldier camps. Moving-picture films will also be employed widely. The troops will be kept in touch in that way with the work of other camps and with conditions among American or other forces at the fighting front. High Honor Won by Negro Composer of Music High Honor Won by Negro Composer of Music HE WAS only a small, hungry-looking ill-clad negro boy and did not for a moment expect to be admitted into the splendidly furnished drawing-room, where fashionably gowned women and their sedate men were gathered to hear was being made such as he had never before dreamed of and which to him was sweeter than the imagined chanting of angels. Not until the last note had floated out and become a memory did the boy realize that he was half frozen. As a result, he hovered close to death's door for long days and nights with pneumonia, but he heard always the sweet melodies ringing in his ears, and he had no regrets. The boy was Harry T. Burleigh, now the well-known composer, who today is the proud possessor of the third Spingarn medal, which is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent who has made the highest achievement during the year in any field of elevated human endeavor. He had a far-away look in his dark eyes, as though he was thinking of the shivering little outcast at First Congregational church when Senator Wesley L. Jones handed him the medal of gold which meant that the committee of award had singled him out for the great honor. Value of Topographic Maps Is Now Recognized UNCLE SAM'S geological survey could very appropriately be called the master map maker. When it is proposed to prepare a map for any special purpose the first thing that should be done is to find out whether or not any map is an engineering base map, that is useful for both the simplest and the most complicated engineering problems. It is said that cities, state organizations, official boards, contractors and others are recognizing more and more the immense practical service and value of a ready-made map, which shows not only every physical feature of the area it represents, but all the works of man. These topographic maps are of special value in connection with the work of planning public highways, and their use in every phase of this work is suggested by those officials of the survey who are thoroughly familiar with their exactness. A study of the maps, they say, will assist materially in the selection of routes, as they show geographically the gradient of any proposed road and enable the engineer to compare the route projected with other possible routes in the immediate vicinity. Topographic surveys have been made by the experts of the survey of fully three-fourths of the well-populated portions of the United States and index maps of all of the states. looked to the conversion of stretches of land between Baltimore and Washington; another to the taking over for national park purposes of lands on the west side of Chesapeake bay, and still another idea was that the lands in southern Maryland on the lower Potomac should be preserved as a national park.

It was a bitter cold day, but he was oblivious to it.

Even so, the mine is playing a big part in marine warfare, and we shall have to count with it and against {t now that we have Joined forces with the entente allies. It 1s a matter of record that the Germans got the Jump on the British by thelr prompt and even daring employment of the submarine mine. With- in a very short time after the declaration of war Teuton mine planters were operating on the Eng- Ush and Scottish coasts and were busily engaged In sowing these weapons at the very entrance of ‘enemy ports and rivers. For this purpose it was rather easy then to have recourse to North sea fishing craft that had all the outward complexion of innocence; indeed, for weeks these boats went about their work well- nigh unsuspected, It was only when British battle craft were mysteriously damaged and sunk that the Britieh authorities awakened to their peril. Even then the belief prevailed that the damage was more or less a matter of sheer chance— chance in the nature of a friendly defense mine that had got adrift. Then the next explanation ‘was that a particularly daring U-boat commander had managed to get within striking distance, and finally it dawned upon the British coast patrol ‘that enemy mines were being freely planted right under their very noses, Bvery fishing boat was then an object of sus- Picton, and prompt investigation proved in a great many cases that there was ample warrant for this attitude. Neutral trawlers became more and more infrequent In certain of the waters contiguous to the north and east coasts of Scotland and Eng- Jand, and for a time the mine menace was held pretty well in hand. ‘The resourceful Teutons, however, were not checkmated, and it was only a question of time be- fore they developed a method with which to offset the vigilance of the British coastal patrol. Then the German submarine mine layers got to work. How many of these the kalser's experts have bullt and sent to their fields of service in the waters of the North sea especially, is not known, It is safe to say too many of them have been built and dis- patched upon their missions and the general char- acter of them all 1s probably much akin to that of the U-C-5, which was captured and taken into a British port. By chance a British destroyer discovered the 0-0-5 on the surface and in distress at some point nlong the east const. When summoned by mega- phone to surrender the crew of the submarine inustered on deck and held up thelr hands tn token of submission, but curiously before a relief boat could be sent to them they jumped overboard, ‘The cause of their action was soon explained. ‘Another member of the submarine's complement suddenly appeared upon deck and threw himself Into the water and almost immediately afterward there were a number of violent explosions within the U-C-5, The last man had exploded bombs which blew holes in the craft. But for prompt action on the part of a British sublieutenant, who, protected by a gas mask, went dauntlessly down into the Injured U-boat, the mine planter would have filled and gone to the bottom in water too deep for her recovery. As it was, she represented a desperate task for her would-be salvors and it was necessary to se- cure a couple of mines within the boat that had been set free by the explosions before tt was safe to tow the submarine into harbor and to dock her. Upon examination this new order of sub- marine was found to be charged or Inden with a ozen powerful contact mines housed in six ver- tical wells passing directly from deck to bottom of the craft. Each well held two mines, one on top of the other, and both were kept in thelr places by lock- Ing devices which could be released from within the submarine, The controlling station for this ‘operation was found to be in the conning tower, so that the commander of the boat with only her periscopes above water could see Just where to ow his weapons, In this way the Germans have been able upon many occasions to approach certain sections of ‘the waters about the British isles and to plant ‘there mines that have accomplished the destruc- ‘tive work cut out for them. How many ships have been sent to the bottom by mines sown by oats of this sort 1s, of course, a matter of con- Yecture, but there can be no doubt that submarine mine planters are actively employed today, One thing about them that makes them of spe- ‘etal interest, even concern, to us 1s that there ts nothing to prevent their operating in a similar manner upon our Atlantic coast. What is to pre- vent a submarine somewhat after the order of the Deutschland from being equipped for work of ‘this nature? Instead of carrying some hundreds of tons of commercial freight she could just as castly divide that Welght among mines, mine-plant- Ing apparatus and an increased supply of fuel antl food which would make {t possible for her to per- form her service for longer pertods and over wider zones of action. ‘The whole subject of submarine mines, offensive and defensive, and the subaqueous protection against enemy submarines is one with which our naval and military authorities are deeply engaged. It is safe to say that we are going to see some re- markable developments, and largely because our allies are going to give us the benefit of their own experience so that native ingenuity can start to improve upon the fruits of the labors of others, Indeed, our subaqueous defenses must of necessity be of the best types possible because of the extent of our seaboard and the comparatively lmited number of vessels that the navy has for patrol work, The recent presidential order prescribing de- fense zones at the approaches of certain ports and waterways had to do with the army's part pri- marily tn this matter of subaqueons safeguards, ‘The mine fields controllef by the military authori- ties, those of the Const Artillery corps, are as a rule protected by observation mines or electric contact mines that are made active or inactive by the operation of a switch. That is to say, the vita- zing current comes from a central station ashore, and neither of these types of mines will explode unless the electric current reaches them by way of a submerged cable. In the case of ‘the contact mine with the current turned on the mine will explode when bumped and tilted over to a prescribed angle. The obser- vation mine, on the other hand, does not have to be touched by the enemy craft, but Is subject to the will of an observer on shore. Observation mines are planted in groups and are laid out in definite checkerboard areas, and each group 1s set off separately and simultane- ously. The observer, by means of range marks or bearings, knows Just when the approaching foe reaches any one of these squares, and accordingly the one within which the enemy les at the mo- ment determines the group of mines to be deto- nated. ‘The contact mine, as may easily be understood, does its work where an observer might fail, after dark, and for that reason the electric current 18 turned on with set of sun and the whole area so sown becomes instantly a menace to friend or foe, It Is quite likely that observation mines were employed by the Turks at the Dardanelles, and therefore by approaching from under water It was possible for the British submarine B-11 to dive beneath five rows of mines, probably shoving thelr cables aside and tilting the weapons, and then pushing on so that she could rise to the sur- face and torpedo the Turkish battleship Messu- diyeh, which was stationed to guard that very mine field. Had those mines been of the contact sort, the displacement of thelr cables would probably have caused their detonation and likewise the destruc- tion of the B-11. Other British submarines sue- ceeded tn passing submerged through those Turk- ish defenses, the enemy observers being unable to see the underwater boats, It was the exploits of the subtharines at the Dardanelles that disclosed to the British the weak spot in thelr own mine defenses and led a short while afterward to the development of other protective agencies in deal- ing with the German underwater bonts. Unquestionably the most spectacular part of submarine mining 1s that In which the weapons are resorted to In open waters, especially in those offshore areas where a defense of that sort ts not ordinarily employed. ‘The Itallans were the plo- neers in this order of subaqueous warfare, and they developed the art in peace to such a point that other nations realized that the mine was no longer limited in its potential usefulness either to the defense of a port or for blockading the ships in an enemy harbor. ‘The Italians showed that the submarine mines could be used offensively, so to speak, if planted secretly and placed where by strategy the unsus- pecting foe could be lured over and into them, “The Japanese during thelr war with Russia made good use of what the Italians had taught them, and when the present conflict began Germany was fully prepared to carry the practice still fur- ther, German mine layers were ready and numerous on August 1 three years ago; and as we now know the kalser’s navy lost no time in mining the marine approaches to the fatherland, Not only that, but these craft, in varlous guises, planted mines over wide areas in the North sea and in the waters of the British isles, ‘The Hague convention of 1907 among. other things provided that “it 1s forbidden to lay an- _chored automatic contact mines which do not become harmless as eo 6 SF Ht Lee ee from thelr moorings ; it was prescribed Sag SEA CAN SP N , LPIT WG THE KANSAS CITY SUN, SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1917.

Just before the war the Germans, with thelr usual technical cunnings, developed s naval of- fense and defense mine which could be used either in a fixed position or be planted hastily in water traversed by enemy shipping. This mine ts the type which has done such destructive work and 1s designed to be fired by an electric battery placed inside of the mine, this battery being Inactive un- til the mine has been submerged and then struck by a passing craft. A development of the contact mine which the Germans have at times employed successfully Is one surmounted by a dummy or decoy periscope. The object of this ruse is to invite ramming on the part of a patrolling vessel or even a mer- chantman when the deceived navigator believes that the chance is good for sending~a U-boat to the bottom. Of course a vessel attempting to ram that dummy periscope is sure to strike the con- tact mine and cause it to explode, the result being disastrous to the ramming craft. This lure has not worked so well latterly be- cause the observer Is able in a few moments to establish the fact that the periscope Is stationary, and the work of getting the underlying mine out of the way Is left to the fairly safe process of sweeping—trawlers linked together by a loop of wire rope doing the work. In order to deal with both the submarine tor- pedo boat and the submarine mine, planter the British admiralty has had recourse to defense nets of a novel character. These have been very weil deseribed by Rear Admiral William 8. Sims, According to this authority: “We did not find out for a long time what those nets are like and I think {t ts necessary that ft should be understood in order to realize the great danger submarines run in the presence of light surface craft. “The net Is a very light one, made of little wire rope, probably not as big as a lead pencil, prob- ably not more than a quarter of an iach in diame- ter. The meshes of the net are 12 to 15 feet square. On top of this net are floats and on the bottom are little weights. “The moment this net—‘unbeknownst’ to the submarine commander, of course—is in the water in front of him, the floats keep the net on the surface and the weights keep the bottom down, and if he runs into it his bow goes into one of the meshes and the net falls back around hin, and it may foul his propeller or muy not. “The net is 300 or 400 yards long,.and ns the submarine proceeds the floats will trail on the surface, so that even if he dives decper he leaves these on the surface and his trail is plain and there 4s no difficulty then in capturing bin, He knows when he runs into a net that his capture is prac: tleally certain. If he goes down 200 feet the floats of the net are still on the surface,” ‘These nets are used in two ways, either passive- ly at chosen points in guarded waters or they are dropped overboard by patrolling vessels that dis- cover a submerged submarine in motion. It is a fact that even though a submarine be running totally submerged 20 or 80 feet down, it still causes a disturbance at the surface, not a wake in the usual sense of the term, but a type of wave which {s easily distinguished from the regu: lar surface waves, and this phenomenon {s readily discernible from the bridge of a ship or from » hydroplane, ‘To return to the submarine mine. We have so far considered only that so-called offensive type whieh can be anchored in fairly smooth waters, such as prevail extensively in the North sea, but now let us take up that kind which can be dropped overboard in much deeper water, This sort 1s capable of being planted from a speedy ship seemingly bent upon escaping from her pursuers, and her strategy consists n inviting chase while Gropping these stumblingblocks right in the path of her oncoming enemies, ‘ Generally the ship hitting weapons of this sort does so bow on, and that part of a vessel is the least vital section, A craft may have her bow blown off and yet be able to make a haven, and besides the damage may be susceptible of speedy repair, Our mines, on the other hand, have a de- layed action, and after being hit by the stem of a craft roll sternward in contact with her bot- tom for some distance before they explode. In this way the blow, when the mine does burst, strikes some vital area and the damage 1s well nigh certain to be fatal—New York Sup. mp, SPST Pr reeporae @y &, 0. LESSO! \ ot the Sunday Schoo!

The death of Christ made a deep Impression upon the beholders (Luke 28:48, 49). Joseph, who seems to have been a secret disciple, obtained the body, and gave it burial (Mark 15: 42-47). In Mark’s record we have the story of the discovery of the resurrec- tion by the women, and Matthew tells us how his enemies dealt with that fact. Be sure to use a good harmony of the four gospels in presenting all of these lessons, else some Important detail will be overlooked. |. Mary’s Visit to the Tomb (vv.1- 10). ‘The Sabbath ended at sundown, and the shops were then open, and Mary Magdalene was able to purchase spices with which to anoint the dead body of Jesus. There 1s strong prob- ability that the women paid a visit to the tomb late on Saturday (Matt. 28:1, R. V.). Starting the next morn- ing, “while tt was yet dark” (v. 1), they came to the tomb to perform this Inst service of love, Jesus had no need of such service (Matt. 16:27; 20: 19), but the women were rewarded by receiving the first glimpse of the risen Lord. There were five appearances on this first day of the week: (1) to Mary Magdalene, (2) to the “other women,” (8) to Peter; (4) to those on the way to Emmaus, and (5) to the ten dis- ciples, Thomas being absent. None of these seemed to expect Je- sus to be risen, for they had each failed to Msten to and ponder his words, ‘The extent and genuineness of the affection of the women is found in that they went to serve Jesus when apparently all hope had falled (1 Cor. 18:8, R. V.), As soon as Mary saw the stone rolled away, she concluded that the tomb had been rifled, and hastened to report to the disciples (y. 2). This report of the women to the disciples was considered “as idle tales” (Luke 24:11), With intense eagerness Peter and John ran to the tomb thus reported as being robbed. John, the younger, reached the tomb first, hut in reverence’ did not enter, only stooping to look in (vv. 4, 5). Peter, the impetuous one, rushes in- side, and sees the linen clothes lying, and the napkin that had been about the head carefully folded and lying In a place by itself (v. 7). This appar- ‘ently insignificant detail 1s one which 1s really significant, inasmuch as it shows that the tomb had not been rifled, leaving disorder behind, In- stead of excitedly snatching the nap- kin from his face, and hurling It whither it might fall, he had quietly taken ft off, and fn an orderly way lnid {t aside. It is in such minute de- tails as this that we see the greatest evidence of the veracity of this ree ord. Ul. Mary Weeping (vy. 11-15). ‘The disciples returned to their own homes, and doubtless to the other disciples (v. 10), but the loving Mary remained “behind in this place made sacred as having housed the body of the Lord. It ts natural for us to linger in silent meditation In places of our greatest revelation or of our deepest soul ex- perience, Jesus had told his disciples over and over again that he should rise again, and It seems strange that his enemles should have remembered it (Matt. 27:63) and his friends not. ML Mary Worehiping (vv. 16-18). ‘There must have been en inflection in the voice of Jesus, for, upon the utter- ance of that one word, “Mary,” she recognized her risen Lord. Joyfully sho exclaimed, “Rabbont,” that is to say, “Master” (v. 16), and would have poured out her love and worship at his feet. Jesus, however, does not suf- fer her to hold him fast. Mary must leave him, and tell the others, Liter- ally, he says, “Do not Iny hold of me but go.and make known the glad truth that Tam risen again.” ‘The risen Lord must return to “My Father” and “My God," whereas the one who would gladly have remained at his feet must go to the brethren, and make known the facts of the fulfillment of prophecy and the resurrection of our Lord. ‘The bribed soldiers spread abroad ‘the tale that the disciples had stolen his body, ‘The later lives of these dis- ciples, their heroism and martyrdom, are evidence of the absurdity of any such act on their part. The resurrection of Jesus ts a vin- ication of his claim to being the Son of God, We do well to emphasize his birth, and to dwell much upon his death, yet both of these have no es- sential value apart from his resurrec- tion. Apart from this, the cross Is the end of a failure. ‘The resurrection dem- onstrated that Jesus Christ’s redemp- tlon was not completed upon the cross. ‘The resurrection is better authenticat- ed than any other event in history, The risen Lord called this weak What Well Dresse¢ d \ \vomeri Will Wear AY rs pf - he es we ‘n ‘ rp I | oe — : oN yo a ua a. me Le | * fo ; i a .

It started its career as a matter-of-fact garment devoted to comfort alone, but has become as much diversified as blouses are, und style is an important element that enters into its make-up every season. It continues to flourish on the strength of being both comfort- able and smart. Sweaters this season, shown in silk and in wool, also in fiber silks in great variety, are made mostly in two-color combinations. Many of them are knit- ted to conform to the figure rather snugly at the waistline, and equally as many depend upon a sash or belt, like the sweater, to give them a little detl- njtion of the waist. Nearly all of them have rather ample collars and many— among them some of the finest mod- els—are furnished with pockets. ‘The slip-on sweater 1s one of the sweater successes of this particular season. Its name signifies that {t has no front opening, but slips on over the head, and it is made with and without a sash and pockets; the silk models being usually provided with these ex- tra furnishings.
