IDEAL PLACE FOR SOLITUDE U Bird Island, in Gulf of St Lawrence, 1 One of World's Most Desolate Spots. Bird Island, most northerly of the Magdalen islands, holds the world's record for wrecks. The whole group, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, is exceedincrlv dangerous, but Bird island stands ' B- first. More like a huge rock than an i is!;:ml its walls rise grim and gray in the path of the mariner. The island has no bench or coast, only a steep ir- I regular cliff rising abruptly from the j water. The top is a barren plateau of id about five fibres. it The principal Inhabitants are bird3. '0 Ou'!s, pin nets and murres come In g> thousands to nost and rear their young. s The roar of their thousands of wings j drown?, the noise of the waters. The Indians sr.v that they are the souls of * fhl~""rec!:ed sailors. The human tenants of the plateau ar? th? lighthouse keeper and his wife, farmed to solitary existence except rhout once or twice a year when a ship 5S brings provisions. Sometimes, perhaps in about every three or four years, an enterprising naturalist comes to stuily 23* the bird life on the island, [y Ships can approach Bird island only In the calmest weather. The slight11 est rippie and the craft keeps a reje spectful distance. The lighthouse is reached by a rope and windlass. The hardiest mountain climber would hesitate before attempting to scale its rough gray walls. !|J"| The keepers of the light have been singularly unfortunate. me nrsi >\l*lu K insane and had to be kept confined by\V his wife and assistant until the proX vision boat arrived.

Early in 1917 the doubtful privilege of an | honorable discharge was granted to , carefree fathers of six or more cliil- , dren.

BRITISH RESCUED BY YANK AVIATORS Save Crew of Seaplane Forced Down in Fight With Five Foe Flyers. The feat ot two American aviaturs in rescuing the crew of a British seaplane which had been forced to land on the surface of the North sea after an encounter with a group of German airplanes, receivedi mention in a British communique. The official statement, however, said only: "In one case a stray bullet shot away a control, and the British machine was forced to alight. The crew were subsequently rescued by another "RHtich cpnnlnrip which had been sent to search for them." The rescuing machine was manned by Ensigns Benjamin Lee and J. J. Schieffelin of the American naval aviation service. Ensign Lee grve the Associated Press the following account of the tiight: "Our commanding officer and two men left the station at 3:30 in the morning on a flight toward the Dutch coast. Shortly after sunrise they saw on the horizon five spots which rapidly assumed the outlines of German seaplanes. ? ? - - jo __I_ x. xi. ^ "U'lve to one is naraiy a ngiu, so iue commanding officer, after a first diving charge through the enemy's formation, shoved down the nose of his plane and headed homeward. His two men fired sharply from the after guns, forcing the German scouts to keep their distance. They were getting away all right, even leading the enemy into dangerous territory, when suddenly a chance shot from one of the Germans took away a control and the flying boat crashed nose down. The three men fought clear of the wreckage ana got hold of a floating spar, while the Germans, realizing that they were in dangerous country, scooted away homeward. 4,It was four hours later, when the patrol was long overdue, that we were sent out to search for them. We searched the horizon as we speeded along eastward, covering, at the visibility, a band about twenty miles wide. Finally one of us picked up a black speck, which soon grew into a piece of wreckage with three men on it. "Dropping our bombs at a safe dis tanee, we throttled down our motors and landed near the crashed seaplane. It was a delicate operation, but we managed to taxi over to the wreckage and pick ofT the four men, meartwhile sending back the good news by wireless. "The only comment the commanding officer had to make on his experiencewas: 'What's a ducking? Just a bit of experience!'" SWISS AID BEE CULTURE Sixteen Pounds of Sugar Allotted to Each Hive.

One instance in which an enemy srib: marine commander, after sinking a i British vessel, amazed the survivors ; by giving them bandages and liniment for their wounds, stands out in sharp ! contrast with the brutality or indiffer| ence to suffering practiced by the Ger - 4-U ~ j man sea pirates. i.>everuueiess, uio j survivors tell a story of extreme hard! ship endured in small boats for six days and nights. Seventeen are missing of the ship's company of 95. Five hundred f?-om the Irish coast a large Britisn ^ .amer, outward bound in ballast, got a torpedo death blow. No time was lost by the snip's company in getting away from the sinking vessel. Many of the crew had been wounded, especially among the engine room fnrrp With difficultv the injured were placed in the boats. The submarine suddenly appeared near by and the commander came on deck. He noticed the wounded, and calling the boats alongside his craft, he went inside, returning with bandages and liniment, which he handed to the surprised officers in charge of the boat. This act of kindness saved several lives. A steamer's smoke was seen on the horizon and the U-boat made off rap idly. The small boats shaped a course toward land, but the wind was light and unfavorable. Only a small store of biscuits was carried. There was water enough for a very limited ration and in the days that followed the sun's heat was almost intolerable. Wounded succumbed one after another and were consigned to the sea. Torture reamed its limits. Previously the officers had resorted to physical force to prevent the Lascars from drinking the salt water. Now nothing could restrain them and they eagerly drank the brine. Soon afterward two died of their sufferings. Hope had almost died when late i that evening a vessel sighted and picked them up. They were landed in ; Ireland. j FINDS VOLUNTEER WHEAT ; Farmer Declares It Was Growing in - ia Urop or nna.ia. William Kranz, a farmer near Jef, fersonville, Ind., has seven acres of alfalfa and on 16 acres he is grazing with it, but in the same field there is growing a fine stand of volunteer I wheat. It is better in condition and j appearance than many fields of wheat ; which were sown last year, but failed | to produce good crops. Mr. Kranz says he would have two good crops if he could separate them. Near by, James B. Green has 94 acres in alfalfa ' and on 16 acres he is grazing 230 hogs which are unable to keep down the growth. He has cut two tons of hay from this field as well. NEW GERMAN ATROCITY i Woman Says Huns Cut Off Right Arms of Boys. Geriians are amputating the right arms of every youth over ten years of age who falls into their hands, according to Mrs. Eugenie Guenier of Besancon, France. As a result of war conditions she has lost 27 of her immediate relatives. She said that in Besancon there is not a youth over ten years of fge who has < not his right arm off at the elbow. Her grandmother, eighty-nine years old, was found dead with seven bayonet wounds, and two girl cousins, sixteen and eighteen years old, were attacked by the Huns, she said. Antispy Law in Force.

Be loyal, colored people, to the war issues and demands of today, because v.'e must win tms war regarcuess oc circumstances. Now. I come in contact with numbers of colored people complaining about they are trying to do their bit for the war and that they are not allowed to register for citizenship when rhey are eligible according to the law 3f the state from a property standDoint. etc. ComDlainin? that they ap pear before the board and are turned down because all cf the board are not present, having them to appear a3 many as 4 to 5 times and can never catch them all present. But see white peop'e registering when one or more of the board is present. And saying that they don't see how they can keep helping to support war with men and finance when they are rejected from i?-V oil olirriVilifTT LlLi/iti IISLLiy WILLI cm tucii tii5iyun,j according to the law of the state. Setting forth that it seems that we are not needed, or must he wanted to ba driven away from loyalty during theg<? critical crises. But my advice to the colored people of the county and state is, to continue to be loyal to the government, don't care if you are not accorded your citizenship by the boards of registration. 'But now I appeal to every colored person in the county and state to be loyal under any circumstances that spare life, because we must win ttr's war under all circumstances And every man and woman must do their part and let nothing get in the way "but death. We have as much right to he loyal as_ any other race, and we must be. Any man or woman that would fail to do their part to help when this war for democracy is on. or put anything in the way to retard its real progress along any line, T think, ousrht to be classed as a slack er and ought to be called in question. Because we can't afford to have the Herman principles established in our country. Let us die to the man as colored people by the side of our white brothers. Let us sing from the depths of our hearts, "If you lead we will follow"?and I mean we old men a* well as the young ones. If the law passes calling for 18 to 45, let us be truthful to the man about our ages. Don't get too young or too old. I have nine children snri look like T am sixtv. But I mean to tell the truth. If it takes us old men to win the war let ns gro. and go freely. Because we will soon learn the way, if not so strong. \nd the way will go a long ways towards winning. 'Don't be a slacker in any way, bv lying about our ages, etc. So T a era in *av, colored people, don't let the rejections of registrations to -on ?;trp your lovalty. But pray that heart, of the beard rai?ht be ten*ered that they may not put a straw Un^le Sam's way to nincier his prosrr^s in his great war. Xow, the majority of the colored nooT)1^ know that I have always stCK>,i the best interest of the race and md t.h^ above one is what I cal1 the best we havp ever given yo'i ??o heed it Should those evils be Inr^'ine within.
