Henry Ford went down New York bay in the revenue cutter which met
the liner Nieuw Amsterdam, bringing back from Europe the last of the
peace pilgrims. Judge Ben R. Lindsey and his bride. There is only one
way to board a liner from a cutter and that is byway of the ladder. Many
l erscns fear to do this, because it is a little dangerous, but the friend of
the dove of peace did not hesitate.

the car and how very few
of the other soi t
It is not overstating the case to
say here that the very large first
year’s production did not de
develop a single serious fault,
this notable achievement surely
justifies public confidence in

IHE AMEKICU3 DAILY UmLS-KECORDEK
LUMPKIIMM WITH
FAIMND A PRIZE
I
in a letter received by Chairman,
George It. Ellis of the Third Agricul-j
tvral District Fair Committee, and
(which has been handed to Secretary'
Hyman for his attention, the informa
tion comes front W. P. Carter, Jr., of'
Lumpkin. Ga., that he desires to don-!
ate to the fair premium list a $lO sii-1
ver loving cup to be awarded as a
special premium on black orpington |
chickens. Mr. Carter is a great breed-|
cr of black orpingtons and white )
cochin bantams. He has several birds :
in his yard that took prizes at all the )
big poultry shows- and fairs last'
year.
Mr. Carter says that he is especially
interested in the show to be held at
the Third Agricultural District Fair
next fall, and that he can be counted 1
,u’>on to bring as fine a collection of
fowls as lias ever been seen in the
►South. I
The poultry end of the fair will be a !
very attractive proposition, as the ’
people living in the nineteen counties
that comprise this agricultural dis
trict have no conception of how many;
chicken fanciers there are, who are '
breeding prize winning birds for exhi- ■
bition purposes. It has been estimat- j
ed that at elast 2,000 fine fowls will be
o i exhibition and this fact alone will
make a big success of the fair.
Secretary Hyman will acknowledge
this splendid gift and will ask Mr.
Carter to ehad a committee, whose
duty it will be to especially see that
the big poultry building is full of the
best in the land.

Happiest War Prisoners In
Europe Are Not Working
ROME, March 12.—“ The happiest
war prisoners in Europe are those
fifty thousand of Austria now held by
the Italians, according to the Rev.
Walter L. Lowrie, pastor of St. Paul’s
American church, who has been spec
ially delegated by the Young Men’s
Christian Association to look after
prison camps in Italy.
After returning from a trip recently
among the prisoners, Dr. Lowrie
said to a correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press: “These prisoners are
lodged in some of the most magnificent
castles and palaces of Italy, the homes
of former kings and princes. They are
brow-beated, and they not only are not
made to work, but they are not permit
ted to work. So they are really lead
ing the happy life, if anybody can be
said to be happj- at this time, away
fiom home and country and family and
icved ones. They have but two com
plaints to make; one is that Europe is
at war.
‘I am ashamed of everybody in
Europe,’ said one prisoner to me, and
1 e voiced the sentiments of all. O’
ccurse, this feeling has a certain men
tal depression as an accompaniment.
Their second complaint, is that they
are not allowed to work and earn a few
cents a day, as prisoners are permitted
to do in France, Germany and else
where. That they are not at work is
due to the objecticons made by labor
leaders of Italy who felt that all war
work should go to Italians in need of
work to keep themselves and their
families going.
“But these prisoners are improving
their time for all that. Nearly all of
them are learning English. I have had
difficulty in getting enough English
books for them.
“Among the places where the pris
oners are kept is the castle at Aquila
built by Frederick IL, and about which
Emperor William of Germany once
wrote a monograph. Another place is
at Bain, near Naples, where some
thousand prisoners are housed in the
beautiful old structure of the dukes
jof Anjou. I think its terraces looking
over the bay give one of the finest
views of all Italy. Two thousand
prisoners are sheltered also in the Sis
tenian monastery’ at Padulla, which is
perhaps more comfortable than a pal
ace. There was some talk of also us
ing the Bourbon royal palace at Ca
setta, the Versailles of Italy, which
would hold no less than fifty thousand
prisoners and make them comfortable
at that.”
TELEPHONE THROUGH
TO HAVANA, CUBA
Ga.< March IL—Geor
gians may soon be saying “hello” to
Havana, Southern Bell officials an
nounce that after the completion of
the long line to Key West, Florida, the
next step in long distance telephone
development will be a submarine cable
connecting the system with Havana,
Cuba, and other Cuban points.
This announcement is of particular
interest, of course, in Florida, Geor
gia and South Carolina. Havana and
Key West, while both comparatively I
close, have seemed isolate and far:
away on account of the lack of tele
phone connection with the rest of the
v. orld. In a few months they will be
within reach of everybody’s voice ev
erywhere, and although the actual
distancce will be the same, they will
seem more like neighbors.
Meanwhile the work of constructing
a standard line bearing two copper
circuits between Jacksonville and Key,
V, est has actually been begun.
Woman Curates
Are Suggested
Because War
LONDON, March 11. —Women cur
ates are being suggested because so
many clergymen have gone to the
trenches and because theological stud ■
ents who have not already enlisted
will be absorbed under the Compuls
ion Act unless they are physically un
fit.
For ten years before the war there
was a steady decrease in the applica
tions for ordination, owing,, in some
measure, to the modern recognition of
the. that a young of what is known
ac “good family” may engage in com
merce without any social disadvant
ages. Genteel starvation is no longer
preferable to getting living outside

Almost All
Town At War
LONDON, March 11. —Trunch, a
mall, remote agricultural village not
i far from North Walsham, Norfolk, has
, sent all of its men —65 out of a popula
tion of 300 to the front, which is said
tn be a higher percentage than any
other town in Great Britain can boast.
‘‘Every Trunchor has gone to the
Trench' ’is the way the neighboring
villagers express it.
