BostonJune 4 Alleged "recruiting
of American young ' men for the mili
tary forces .of Great Britain is'the
subject of an Investigation begun by
Federal officials here today. Accord
ing to a cablegram' from the United
States consul general at London which
was included In a message sent by Sec
. retary Bryan' to Congressman Peter P.
Tague of this city at least 15 youths
have been enlisted in . violation of an!
-agreement with the British Board of
Trade regarding the United States
shipping laws. V
; These and other cases are being in
quired into it is understood. Secret
service agents are. co-opera ting with
the United States District Attorney on
orders from Washington to learn If
inducements have been offered Ameri
can youths to ship on British. vessels
as caretakers for horses and cattle.
In the case of the 15 who left this
country on the steamer , Cambrian
May 8 the consul general found that
all had signed preliminary enlistment
papers before his agent could board
the steamer on its arrival in London
His cablegram to Secretary Bryan sent
.in connection with inquiries for Pat
rick Denehy, a boy of 15 years said:
'"On the arrival of the steamer Cam
brain, a recruiting sergeant was given
opportunity to go aboard and enlisted
Denehy and 14! others, thus frustrat
ing arrangements previously made for
his return.- - '. "
The consul general added that he
was asking the British "War Depart
ment for Denehy's immediate dis
charge as contrary to the agreement
with the Board of Trade covering, com
pliance with; the, United States ship
ping laws, which provide f or th re
turn, of horse guards to ports of de
parture. Since the outbreak of the European
war several hundred young men have

SCATTERING BOCKS CUT,WIRES.
,A section of road builders at work
on the Tracey's Grove road last week
made a blast near the transmission
wires of the Hendersonville Light and
Power company which resulted in the
flying rods cutting the wires in two.
Thus is explained why the power- was

There is no pleasanter place to spend
a morning in Hendersonville than at
the Carnegie library. It is cool, com
fortable, quiet, and inviting. Then too
there is one'3 silent friends air around
the books, the magazines" and the
papers. . " :.
The ; latest periodicals are there.
Many libraries of larger incomes have
no more . current literature. To be
seated at one of those reading tables,
and bury your head in your favorite
magazine, you would be sure to for
get, for the time at least, .the petty
tioubles of every day life. ;
The library Is youngs having only
opened its doors to the reading public
last September when a book shower
from the citizens, brought its first vol
umns. A committee with much care
and thought selects from time to time
the new books which they are able to
purchase. The best in fiction is al
ways selected . And as of the making, of
books there is no end, this is no easy
job to gather the best from so. many. .
The corner for reference books is a
good beginning.- It contains ready
references in history, science, and the
classics as well as political and state
reports of various kinds. Encyclope
dia Britanica and other books are
there for. the student, and in a place
of honor is the Book of Books, without
which, no library is complete. ' ;
' There are the shelves with books for
children. It is wonderful how mucn
children read and how they, are influ
enced by the stories 'j they fead and
hear. -In some . libraries - there" is
cmuarens siory nour, wnen some
story teller Is present who, has imag
ination and cannake things read :to
them. They gather in crowds. to hear.
and it gives them i taste for reading.
In the Hendersonville library, Mrs:
Sandifer, the librarian is always ready
to help you" find something interesting
to read. The summer visitor, will find
il to his or her interest "to visit the
library. 7 ' :
For one dollar and a half on deposit
with , the librarian, or the price of a
book, and the "small sum of ten cents
a week you keep the book; you "Will be
allowed to- read any of the books.
When you leave your deposit money is
returned provided all books have been
brought back. . : ' ; . v
No doubt many will take advantage of
this offer.
To the residents of the town the
books are free. One little woman said
nothing had given her so much pleas
ure this past winter as the books she
hadwead from the library.

W. J. Davis, president of tho First

the city could well afford to ha7e an
ordinance to the effect, that all cooks,

could accept work or positions in Hen

Mr. Davis stated. that the ideals by

have such an ordinance in X orce, He
believes that the majority of the color

with the law, and would value a health
certificate as much as they would ; a
recommendation of a former employer.
From a health standpoint this would
relieve the minds of many of the
housekeepers, who now, do not know
that their maid, washwoman or -other

Rumors have it; says the Rutherford

If it takes ' special inducements . to
bring the railroad through this county,
close to Hendersonville, there is no
doubt that the demands can be met.
Hendersonville , has been trying

citizens have talked railroads until
some .have begun to call them only

The following is what the Charlotte
Observer has to say: .'V.
''The Rutherfordton Sim has heard
report to the effect that, the Seaboard
Air Line officials are. figuring on- ex
tending the line from Rutherfordton,
the last spike, town of many years'
standing, to either Asheville or Marion.
It was the intention of the original
builders of the Seaboard, then the Wil
mington, Charlotte & Rutherfordton;
to build on to a western -connection,
but the original plans had been left in
soak so far in, the. past as to have been
almost forgotten. If theSeaboard: is
minded to undertake this work in the
near future, it would be a mighty in
teresting piece of news, and would in
dicate that at this time. things are go
on under the surface in North Car
olina railroad circles that had not been
.thought probable. It Is a fact how
ever, that in the extension of the Sea
board westward has lain dormant all
these years one of the finest railroad
possibilities in the South."
