PLAN SKA SLEDS FOR
COAST WORK IN CASK WAR
BOSTON, April 6.—Naval officials
said today that plans were under con
sideration for a squadron of sea sled
ambulances to carry Injured and sick
members of the power boat patrol
fleet from exposed stations off the
New England coast to a base hospital
on shore.
The flat bottomed sea sleds are
not heavy enough to carry guns, but
their great speed would make them
particularly useful for ambulance
purposes and emergency supply boats.

Congressman Kitrhin Op|K>ses.
WASHINGTON, D. (\, April 6.— |
Congressman Claude Kitchen, the vet-'
eran congressman of North Carolina,
and the pncilist leader of the House,
spoke strongly against the resolution
for war. He declared that it was easy
for congress to declare war. when
others were to do the fighting and said
that it was suicidal for the United
States to enter into a warfare against
a world-power unprepared and unpro
tected from the aggressions of an in
vading army. He said that there -was
no occasion for war with any country
and asked why these congressmen
who were orating so vehemently for
war with Germany over the death of
a few American citizens, had not call
ed for war with Mexico where several
hundred American citizens had been
killed. I

Will Call Naval Militia.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ April 6.

| Daniels will immediately call out the
'naval militia reserves as soon as the
! War Resolution is passed and signed.
Only Dozen Dissenters.
WASHINGTON. D. C„ April 6 —
When the vote is taken on the war
resolution comes up for a vote in the
House it is expected there will not
! be more than a dozen opposing votes,
I according to the House leaders. It is
anticipated that a number of those
1 now credited with being with the pac
ifists will vote for the measure.

Vast Credit Asked.
WASHINGTON. D. C., April b.—
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
will ask congress for a credit of three
billion four hundred thousand dollars
for financing the war. Three billions
will be needed for the army alone. The
bureau of information also asks for
$.300,000 to carry out its work.

WASTK FROM CAMP
KITCHKNK MARKS CORBITK
LONDON, April 0.—Waste from
the army camp kitchens is now sup
plying enough glycerine yearly to pro
duce the cordite necessary for 10.000,
000 18-pound shells. Moreover, this
glycerine is being supplied to the
army at the pre-war price of £60 a
ton, whereas the present market
price is £240. A portion of the pro
j tits made on the process goes to the
messing departments of the armies,
which are now receiving about £30,
000 monthly from this source.
The proposal to turn the camp
waste into glycerine was made by a
committee of soap manufacturers.
:They convinced the army authorities
1 after some effort that their scheme
I was possible, and they immediately
; organized the collection of the waste
'especially fats and bones. The collec
>tion goes immediately to the nearest
1 soap maker for the production of tal
! low and glycerine. The fat contains
about 10 per cent glycerine. The sys
item has since been extended to the
base camps in France, where the fat
'is rendered down and sent home in
I barrels, and also the navy, which us
jed to throw all this waste overboard.

A Prolific Ewe.
j A sheep belonging to Knute Harang
l of Opdal. gave birth to a grayish blue
lam in the winter of 1910. And there
by bangs a wonderful tale. On New
; Year’s day, 1911, this lamb gave birth
'to twins, which in 1912, were follow
i ed by triplets, in 1913 by twins, in
1914 by triplets, in 1916 by quadru
plets and in 1916 by triplets, making
117 in all. Fourteen of them were fe
! males. The first twins were grayish
i blue, like their mother, the quadru
: plets were black, and all the rest
were white. The animals were of the
j ordinary Norwegian breed, having
i long, soft wool.

Center, is now at the hospital at Fori
