AMERICA IN CASE OF FOREIGN
WAR.

There is much speculation as to what
effect the impending wars would have
upon our own country in the event OF {
their inauguration, which now seems so
very probable. The general impression
is that it would be beneficial especially
to the grain interest. But there is one very
serious obstacle, and that consists in the
| limited capacity OF our merchant ma
rine, Where would we get the bottoms (
necessary for transporting our immen 40
tonnage? There IS a law now in orce
which forbids the registry Of foreign
built vessels, even when purcf .ased by
American citizens. This law gas passed
in the sacred name Of projection to en-
rich few New England ship.builderf !,
and has been the means of reducing o. or
carrying capacity TO its present limi 1d
extent. 1t was unwise impolitic end
even absurd--as much so rs it would
have been to have laid an embal 40 on

Daniel Steinman ut Sambro Head, Nova

lost. Previous 10 his leaving home,
Peter Andreas Michailsen, one of the
passengers, deposited $50. $40 and some
valuables for safe Keeping with one
Iierschill, of lIasle. Denmark, and took
a receipt therefor. Probably imagin-
ing that no legal evidence would ever
be forthcoming that he had the money,
HerSchild refused To return it TO the
Danish foreign minister communicated
with Mr.. Tobin, the Danish consul at
this port, requesting him to spare no
efforts to find the receipt. The bodies
and wreckage washed ashore from time
10 time have been carefully searched,
and the divers who have been working
OH the wreck for the past year have kept
Il sharp lookout for the missing docu-
ment, hat all without success. Recently
a trunk was washed ashore containing
4 number of letters and papers. These
were turned over 10 the consul. They
were water-soaked and the writing al
most obitcrated. but among them was
the longlooked-for receipt, which after
much difficulty Consul Tobn deciphcred
and translated. He has cabled the good
news To Copenhagen.

Curious Find i'm the Treasury

The count of the moneys and securi-
ties in the United States treasury has
Just been completed. The only dis
crepancy discovered was that two cents
were missing from n package of pen
MES in the cash room. Last Saturday Il
heavy square box, wrapped in red tape
aud securely bound, was found in an
Out- of-ihe- way nook of one of the vaults
The key had beeu miSllid and was no.
where to be found. The box had been
in the vault for many years and had
been almost forgotten. The services Of
the locksmith were secured, aud on
opening the box it was found to contain
bottle Of diamonds, bottle Of pearls,
a bottle of ottar of roses and lump Of
gold. One of the older employees iden-
titled these rs articles which had been
presented TO President Monroe about
the year 1928 by the Japanese govern
ment, and which had been stored in the
treasury pending the passage Of IN act
of Congress authorizing their accept
ance. Congress failed to legislate on
the subject and the articles were de-
posted in the treasury, where they
have remained ever since.
