TAUNT SENDS ENGINEER TO ' PERILOUS SEA Scorn of Woman Causes Paul Carter, American, to Go With ‘Death Ship.’ CONFESSION IN COURT ATLANTA. Ga., March S.—Experience in the submarine zone in a "death ship’' on which he had signed because the "one woman” had taunted him with being “yellow,” were narrated by Paul B. Carter, sentenced to five years in the federal penitentiary for mailing a bomb to an army captain "whom he believed had supplanted him In the affection of the “one woman.” The woman involved is Miss Claire Mcwho was married to Carter and assumed her maiden name when she was granted a divorce. The taunt of “yellow" was flung at Carter by the ’Jpne woman” when they w-ere living in Philadelphia, where Carter was building locomotives for the P.aldwln works. The locomotive builder was also a marine engineer and held a chief engineer's license to take charge of any ship. ” His experiences on the seas in a ship that was a "death trap” or h “suicide eh ip,” as he caled It, were detailed in the written life confession prepared by Carter while awaiting his appearance In the federal court. nis confession reads: "In the latter part of August the one woman said to me; ‘Boy. dcgi’t you chink you would be doing more for your country if you took out a ship? You Cnow how many are tied up on account r.f the shortage of engineers.’ .FOREMAN' SAYS "STAY WHERE YOU ARE." “We discussed the matter for several days and finally I put it up to the general foreman and his reply was. ‘Stay whtre you are.' “I told the blessed girl this, but she did not seem satisfied, finally telling me: ‘Lover boy. I know yon sro not afraid of any one man, or two or three. I know you are one in 10,000 with a gun, but I’m afraid the\ Hun and the U-boat have made you show “yellow.’ ” “Naturally I resented such au accusation and the result was quite a coolness. A repetition two or three times got me thinking whether or not I was ‘yellow.’ “There was a way to find out. though, and I took it. I called up Bert Greenison. representative s>f the Ocean Association of Marine Engineers, of which organization I was a member, and asked him if there was a ship needing an engineer, that was bout ready to sail. "He said: ‘Only the Bramel Point, a “hell ship,” and I .know you don't want her.’ I asked him why and was told, ‘She has never made a trip without a world of trouble and has been towe'd into port twice with her engine down arid the engine room crew ready for the hospital from overwork. She is slow, only ten knots, has no armament, and is in bad .ihape for electricity, for only one generator works. You don’t want her, for that is suicide.’ ‘T said: ‘She is mine.’” MARITIME PERILS REIITED BY LOG. Carter’s statement then set forth the log of the Bramel Point during its journey to Port Arthur, a recital that is replete with stirring incident and maritime perils. These include mechanical troubles with the ship’s engine that u.e&nt long hours of arduous labor, attacks upon the vessel by enemy wnreraft, and disputes among the crew that had to be adjusted by very primitive methods. . During the voyage to Port Arthur ■Rioter was buoyed up by the expectaof receiving there numerous letters erfom the “one woman,” but his mall bag, when he’ reached port, came back empty. Cartem then told of an uneventful trip back, with nothing more to contend with than a gale In the Florida straits. “On arrival at Philadelphia I caught e taxi and beat It out to the house, feelisig sure to find someone on arrival and waiting. We were six days overdue, and had not been reported. “I found the bouse dark and a note *t. the table saying, ‘l’ve gone to the show, will be back not later than 1 •’clock, as I’ll have dinner before 1 come home.” This was the end of the mariner’s tale, sandwiched in bettveen loving episodes In the life with the one woman, who renounced him after a quarrel and left fer her home ’ln Gainesville. She then sued for a divorce and was rend}' to appear against Carter had he con tested the "bomb plot’’ case In the federal court.

MIGHT TRY THIS ON CANDELABRA Looks Like Swell Chance to Chin With Mars. NEW YORK, March B.—Prof. Clarence Errol Ferree of Bryn Mawr has just completed a series of experiments, It has become known, consisting of lighting a ca.ndle, walking away from It and then turning around and looking at It until the point Is reached wficre It is barely perceptible. Then measuring the distance back to the candle and multiplying that by 35,000,000, which represents the number of miles intervening between us and the planet Mars, Prof. Ferree gets 766,000,000,000,000 and .a fraction over. This Is not as simple as It appears because absorption and refraction and all that sort of thing have to be deducted. The point is, however, that all the light that ■ would be ’needed' to signal Mars that a Martian astronomer looking thro'ugh a telescope would* know that somebody was endeavoring to get his attention would be 766 trillion candle pow-er-and a fraction over. Some experimenters do not get the fraction, although a decimal should be added or subtracted incoming to whether or not the Martian stronomer uses a telescope or opera glasses. b* The very largest manufacturers of searchlights. It is reported from Prof. Ferree's studio, only turn out a feeble little thing of 1.280,000,000 candle power, but assuming of course that 606.250 of these could be gathered together some evening that, It is evident, would have the desired effect. The only other possible hitch in the interplanetary signaling would be how to know whether the folks up on Mars observed the ray of light and if so what they thought about it, if anything. U. S. Methods Urged by Cross •tENEVA, March B.—American ideals put into practice promised to feature discussions today at the opening of the first meeting of the general council of the league of Red Cross societies here. Pointing to the membership record of! the Red Cross, held by the ymted, States, delegates were almost unanimous in as- ; sorting methods used by American leaders in-enrolling 26 per cent of the population of the United States as members the Red Cross will be adopted by societies in other countries when the peacetime program has been decided on. Henry P. Davison, head of the American Red Cross and chairman of the league, was to preside at the meetings during the eight-day session. Thirty nations were to be represented.

Don't try to be mani NEW YORK, March B.—High above Times Square, near Forty second and Broadway, the Bush terminal building raises its slender height, outdistancing all its sister buildings. At a well-cleared desk in an office on the twenty-third floor sits the moving spirit not only of the building, but of the great company which the building symbolizes—-Henrietta F. H.

Not so. Instead is found a dignified but womanly worrian, her feminine j charms enhanced by an unusual oapelike garment that keeps her costly clothes fresh and clean, a toque cap on her head and a friendly hand and a hospitable smile ready to greet her visitor. And at once he has the feeling that Miss Reid, in spite of her distinction, her i business, and the ofrorld of cure that rests on her shoulders is as much interested In j him, whoever he may be, as he is In her. And therein lies the secret of her , success—for through her Interest In peoj pie and not things, she has made the Bush Terminal Company the living, vital I thing that it is* QUICK TO ANSWER Al l, QUESTIONS.

FRANCE TRIES TO WIN BACK OLD KINSHIPS Alsace and Lorraine Children to Be Taught Language in Schools. TEACHERS ARE BUSY METZ, March 8. — When the Germans , were finally forced to return Alsace and Lorraine to France they left behind them one of the characteristic marks of the Teutonic system of imposing German culture in conquered lands. Although practically every grown person in the restored provinces io bilingual, speaking French and German, besides the local dialects, the children speak only the harsh, guttunil tongue of the erstwhile rulers. French teachers and, In fact, the entire administration of Al-sace-Lorraine are now endeavoring to instill French traditions, the French language and French civilization into their young minds. Alphonse Dander's story. “The Bast Class,” is a classic in French literature. It. tells the pathetic trio of a French teacher in an elementary school of Alsace in the tragic days of the debacle. On the eve of the French evacuation of Alsace, following the signing of the treaty of Frankfort in 1871, the teacher was taking leave of his little pupils. He recounted to them the history of France, the causes of the war and the tragic consequences, ending the lesson by walking to the blackboard and Inscribing the words “Vive la France!” as the Germans entered to take possession. LAST LESSON AN'I) THEN CHANGE. Until the outbreak of the war In 1914 this old teacher's last lesson had been the guiding spirit in the minds of the school children in Alsace and Lorraine. Then there came a change. Pupils In all the elementary schools were forbidden to speak French. Any Infringement of the order was severely punished. Children who refused to obey were whipped. Many of them were even deported to the Interior of Germany. So it happened that when the war whs over and the tricolor floated again over the citadel, the French authorities were astonished to hear children of 5 to 8 or 10 years chatting among themselves, arguing, quarreling-—all In ; German. They had forgotten, or never had been permitted to learn the language | of their fathers. When M. Milierand, now premier, took > charge of the administration of Alsace 1 Lorraine one of his first tasks was to organize a system of education, which, j while borrowing nothing from the oppressive methuds In vogue under the rule of the Germans, would heffig ba> k into

the fold of French civilization the new i generation of the provinces. PREFECT EXPLAINS ORGANIZATION. M. Mametrii, prefect of the department j of the Moselle, who is taking a prom Inent part iu the work, explained Us or caul’zation as follows: “In every Commune we have founded committees whose duty it is to group alt students who have left school since 1914. Evening courses In French lauguuge. history and literature for these students have been started. These boys and girls are discovering anew France, a France vastly different from that painted for them by their German teachers, who devoted all their energy to demonstrating that France was decadent and that the only nation on the globe worth anything was | Germany. “We are gathertnc together all available French books to stock the schools and public libraries with the best In French literature, which the Germans, of course, took pains to exclude. We intend also to i make use of the 'movies' to counteract the effect of these five years during which French was ’verhoteu I' ” Heroes of France to Study in U. S.

RICH INDIAN ' GIVES MILLION IN AID OF RACE Wiles of ‘Vamp’ Fail to Turn Philanthropy of Okla- i homa Creek. SHREWD WITH THE CASH OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., March B. “Lo, the poor Indian,” or at least the big portion of the native population of America that lives in Oklahoma, is to be careef for by Jackson Barnett of Henryetta. Okla,, the richest Indian in the world, who has just bequeatker a million dollars for the erection of a hospital In his home town where all the sick Indians of the state will be cared for without compensation. Harnett Is 07 years old, a Creek allottee who was made a millionaire by the forcible allotment of land in what was proven as the Cushing oil field, the most reliable producing district la the inldcontinent area. Without a squaw or a relative in the world, Barnett Is the prize incompetent of America. He Is a ward of Uncle Sam. He can not buy anew buggy without securing the consent of Cato Sells, Indian commissioner at Washington, D. C. 11av...g only the simplest tastes, being by nature a bit stingy In his .personal habits, Barnett has never given the Indian department any trouble about , money matters. The department has been i run to death, however, by a million salesi men and leg workers for all kinds of charities, who might have bled the ; simple old .Creek If It had not been for ! the government padlock on his fat purse. HOSPITAL PLAN CATO SELLS’ IDEA. The hospital plan is the idea of Cato Sells. Last fall Barnett asked the Indian commissioner to let him give $25,i*K> to his local Baptist church at Ilenry“tta. About the same time he asked "to contribute $‘200,000 to the Baptist oen- | ternary drive anil there were small rei quests of a varied nature from charities to be passed upon. It occurred to Mr. Sells that Barnett might be glad to participate la a real ! big philanthropy, the results of which ! he might witness before he goes to the I happy hunting ground. 8o he worked out the hospital idea for the benefit of the 100,000 Indians of Oklahoma, hundreds of them as poor as the fortunate Usages and Creeks in the oil country are wealthy. Sells visited Barnett at Henry►tta and made the suggestion. The old Indian was pleased with the idea and j auxious to go ahead with It. Sells went ! back to Washington and made blue ! prints of the idea and returned to Henry 1 etta in January, when Barnett “signed the papers" with a thumb priut in In dellble ink and urged Mr. Sells to “hurry 'ilm up.” A quarter section of fine land the town of Henryetta has been purchased and within a month the construction of the main building of the Hospital, to cost $150,000. will begin. I No restrictions will lie put on patients, i Any Indian of any tribe iu the state, i whether Suffering from tuberculosis or

ippendieltis, wtll be treated without cost. Late In January a designing white woman from Oklahoma City took advantage of leap year and tried to persuade Jackson Barnett to marry her. She went !to Barnett’s home and tried to get a ; place as housekeeper. She was turned Town. Then she tried to lend the old Indian some money and finally persuaded Mm to take an auto ride with her. The j ride ended at Okemah, where the adventuress tried to get s marriage license, t ut; was turned down. She then hurried the automobile to Holdenville, where she tried again for a license.’ Barnett was 'ecognlzed, separated froth tbp "vamp” end after having a good grin over the escapade, was sent hack to his home # lone.
