A curious incident of the war reaches US
from Berlin A young German lady, the Frau
lain Minna Hausel Issued an appeal TO the
Young women OF Germany, urging them TO
form a corps of Amazon volunteers Fifty
three young ladies having responded to the
appeal. Minna offered their services to General
yon Falkenstein, Governor of Hanover. That
sage officer replied that he regretted he could
not avail himself of their services, but that they
m,rht make themselves useful in attending to
the wounded troops. This did not, however,
suit Mlnna who issued an order of the day

The laws regulating the coastins trade
we're modified In several important particulars
at the last session OF Congress, and the Treas
ury Department is now supplying collectors ot

The requlsltions are mainly from the collectors
at New York. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincin-
natl, ST. Louis, Chicago and Milwaukee, where
the German-Americans are most numerous
1t is also stated that the increase in the sales

The Army and Navy Journal concludes an
article on the numerous defects of the chasse-
pot, as follows: "If the chassepot Is really
so poor gun, the French have little to COM
fort them in their future. Peasants armed
with clubs have before now broken the ranks
OF mail-clad solaiers, but that is not the rule
OF warfare. The advantage possessed by the
,Prussians in 1893, when they held nearly all
the fortresses in the north and east of France,
was small compared to that they have to-day,
when the chances of the open battlefield are
so terribly in their favor. The sooner the
French seek peace, the sooner will they end
.helr sufferings. In their pitiable condition
they have the comfort OF knowing that their
fall Is due to no defect Of their own, but to the
receptions of those whom they have trusted
only too readily.

William and Napoleon, the victor and the
yanquished, seated amlcably together in one

driven at the time through the Bois de Bot.
