ACKERMAN THE HAGl'E, May 13 Severe punishment was meted out to the commander of the German submarine which attacked the Sussex, it is generally believed in well informed circles in Ber-Mn, though no official report on the nature of the punishment has been made public. This belief is based largely on the indignation left in Germany over the f-boat commander's deception. His report was implicitly believed until the American liovernmenl presented conclusive evidence showing that the channel packet was torpedoed. In view of this evidence Germans feel that they were put in a humiliating position. It is not overstating the case to say that the submarine commander's deception caused as much indignation in Berlin as it did in Washington.

The Gorman government, dcs.ring to avoid a bieak with America at all costs, has taken two important steps in the past fortnight to improve H.e relations betvveenthe two nations. The German concessions in the submirine matter was one. A quiet movement to squelch Teutonic plotters and Teutcnlc propagandists in the I'nited States mid anti-Americarl propagandists in Germany has been underway for several days. Ambassador Gerard has received scores of letters with threats against Ills life in the last few days. The writers were inspired by newspaper insinuations that some way he tipped off the Sinn Fein outbreaks in Dublin in advance to the British government.

Two Children Perished The most startling of the cases investigated is that of a woman who Is suspected of having burned her two little children for a small insurance. She had no Insurance on her furniture. Her husband hud $75 in a trunk, and the fire started near the trunk, so the authorities think that possibly the money might have been taken, and a fire was resorted to to conceal the taking of it.

The children were placed on a cot next to the place where the fire started. A large bed was in a farther end of the room The woman is said to have told a tenant on leaving that the children were in the. large bed and if they were luiitiinir about to put them back there. 11.50 15.50 Itrge Arm hair, stained walnut, tapestry.

She sang in Italian opera at Her Majesty's Theatre, London; she sang in oratorio at the Crystal Palace, and later in Italian opera in Berlin and St Petersburg. Her debut ar made at the old Academy of Musk, New York, in 1361, as Gilda in "Kigoletto;" later she created the role of Marguerite in Gounod's "Faust" in this country. Alter gaining fame and fortune in Italian optia. she organized an English opera company of her own, and while at the head of that organization produced Wagner's "Flying Dutchman for the first time in this country. Not only did Miss Kellogg sing in opera, but she sang in concerts and traveled from" one end of this country to another, so that her name was as familiar in nan Francisco as it was in New York or Boston.

At a comparatively early age, at the time of her marriage, Miss Kellogg retired from professional life and made her home at New Hartford. Conn, where she passed many summers her professional career and where her father was born and his boyhood and where he died. To the present generation of apera-goers Clara Louise Kellogg is merely a name, but in the early 70's. and later, she was the best known and the most popular of American prime donna. At that time American singers were few arid far between: all the prime donna of grand opera, which was then sung entirely in Italian, were foreigners, and when a native-born American, a New Kngland girl, who had had her training in this country, won a success as a singer of Italian opera, the whole country rose to her.

Clara Louise Kellogg, although of New England parentage, was born 67 years ago in Sumterville, S. where her father was teaching school. Her mother, who was something of a musician and a passionate lover of music, named her Clara after Clara Xovello. the singer, who-died at an advanced age in Rome.

The big fire in a Cambrldge-st factorT last December, in which two firemen were killed and others hurt, was inves tigated, and two men are said to have heen indicted on a charge of burning the structure. It is said the building was occupied by different concerns and started on a floor occupied by the men ln-dioted. They were Insured for $10,500.

Dillard, 21, married, colored, who lives at 37 Greenwich st, Rox-bury, was arrested this afternoon on a secret indictment charging her with setting fire to her house on April 18, 1916. At the time of the fire she was visiting a house at 630 Shawmut av and was notified there.

Her two children Estelle, 3 years, and Virginia, 5 years were suffocated. The firemen found the door locked and the curtains pulled.

Other Mysterious Fires In one case a man. had his wife and children visit a relative, and at 6 o'clock one night he said he drove to a town outside of Lowell to move a sister, but as It was in the holiday season the sister would not move, so he drove back and reached home at 6 a m. About midnight a Are, starting in a closet in which turpentine was used, destroyed furniture. The insurance was $380.

In a case where a man and his wife visitea a sIck relative they had not seen for a year, a tire started a few hours after they left. Turpentine was used in that tenement. In some instances the odor from turpentine lias been so strong when firemen arrived that they had to wait until the fumes evaporated before tbey could enter a building. One couple sent two children away for a few days and took one to a movie show with them about o'clock one night, and before 10 a lire was discovered in the house, occupied by several other tenants. An insurance of $sni was on the furniture.

In every instance the persons are nwny when the fire starts, but the odor ot turpentine or other circumstances serve to arouse suspicion as to the origin of the blaze.

Enemy attempts to gain terrain in the Avocourt and Malancourt woods were frustrated. An enemy attack during the night southwest of Dead Man Hill was jtopped by the fire of the German infantry.

In collections of antiques it is called a silvador or silvio. Specimens are obtained from the ancient burial places of Peru. One of these consists of two cases whose bodies are joined one to the other, with a hole or opening between them. The neck of one of these vases is closed, with the exception of a small opening, in which a clay pipe is inserted leading to the body of the whistle.

The closed neck of this double vase is modeled into a representation of a bird's head. When a liquid is poured into the open-necked vase the air is compressed in the other, and in escaping through the narrow opening is forced into the whistle, the vibration producing the sounds. Many of these sounds represent the notes of birds; one in the collection at the British Museum imitates the notes of the robin or some other member of the thrush tribe peculiar to Peru.

.1. Barnes, WAVERLEY. May 12 Bright and early tttia morning Rev Sidney E. Booth, pastor of the Waverley Unitarian Society, I donned overalls and with about a dozen i of his parishioners in similar garb assembled at the church and began the work of painting the building. Rev Mr Booth had his briar pipe working and he looked the part of a lirst-class mechanic.

The men who are assisting the pastor i in this work of love were all enthusias- tic and were applying the paint to the structure with a vim worthy of expert painters. A number of the workers nev- er before handled a paint brush, but what they lacked in experience was n.ore than offset by their enthusiasm. About a month ago at a meeting of the Waverley Unitarian Club, composed tti members of the local parish, the mat-fer of improving the church was dis- I 'ussed. Among the suggestions offered RU that the building be psinte.t. It is years since any paint was put on i it and it looks as if a couple of coats would improve appearance materially.

The question of expense was then discussed. It was arguev.1 by men who knew something abou; tht- cost of paint that it would require about $-00 do a job such as was n.cessary. Some one suggested that the work he. done by members of the club. The suggestion received cordial support and a vote was passed that the church be painted and that the men of the parish do the work.

This step decided, the question of material to work with was discussed and in a very few minutes the amount needed to buy the paint was subscribed and now all that remained was to get busy. Rev Mr Booth suggested that the work could be done on Saturdays, as many of the men had a half-holiday on the last day of the week. It was agreed that today was the time to start the Job. Early this morning the pastor, G. R.

Tuttle and F. H. Stearns, two of the! most active members of the society, appeared at the church with pots, paint and brushes. Ladders were procured and the three men began to apply the paint. Quite a crowd was on hand to see the hustling clergyman and his assistants at work and all sorts of advice WJ given to the workers.

Kev M.r Boota, who said he was only Popular in Quality. Popular in Price. How the Faithful Animal Acts on the Firing Line Johann Gottlieb, who is in charge of the war dogs of the German Army, gives an enligntening description of the work of these faithful animals on the firing line. He says: "When a war dog is loosed from the It ash holding him and receives the command, 'Find he rushes in the direction indicated. He noses around through fields, forests and swamps.

Moved by the instincts of smell and hearing, the war dog rarely misses find-; ing a wounded soldier. This is especially true when a number of dogs operate "When a war dog has found a fallen soldier, he picks up a knapsack, bread-pouch, cartridge box or gun. with which to report his discovery, or if nothing is hand, the dog, returning, by jumping up to his master, or by characteristic expressions, makes known that he has found a wounded man. The master then fastens the leash and gives the command to go in the words: 'Where is the The leader and a corps of ambulance men, stretchers in hand, follow. In a similar manner, battlefields are searched for wounded soldiers, regardless whether the fallen men are friends or enemies.

"Very often the presence of a wounded soldier is not discovered until the dogs have been set loose. The visual faculty of the dog as a rule is not greater than that of man; in fact, the very opposite is true. However, his sense of hearing is very marked, and, above all, the sense of smell. Even when a wind blows most unfavorably the war dog knows how to overcome the resulting difficulty. With the nose on the ground, or raised in the air.
