IMMEDIATE BLOCKADE
Powers Reach definite Agree
ment Regarding Their
Policy in Crete.
Will Not Reply to the Note Of
Greece but Close Cretan
Ports at Once.
The Move a Distinct Con-
CeSS!On to Both Russia
and France.

ROME, March 16.-It is officially an
nounced here that the result of the
pour parleurs of the powers IS defin-
tie agreement not to reply to the Greek
note, but to issue orders to the foreign
admirals to establish an immediate
blockade of Cretan ports. This agree.
ment is somewhat in the nature of a
concession to Russia and France. Rus
STA, during the middle of last week
proposed, with France seconding
the proposition, another joint note
to Greece, insisting on the with
drawal of the troops, instead Of an
Immediate resort by the powers to
force. Russia's action was inspired, it
is officially stated, by certain sympa-
thy for Greece, but SO many objections
were raised by each power in turn to
the suggestion that the course has
been finally decided upon. 1t is thought
that the simplest way to carry out the
threat made in the Identical note will
be the blockading of the Cretan ports
and the landing of forces sufficient to
insure the maintenance of order, leav-
ing future action as to the fate OF Crete
to later negotiations

This branch nf sport has host of
earnest supporters throughout the north
ern states and Canada, and many fine
dogs are kept for the sole purpose of
driving the white fellows. Some hunt
ers use native foxhounds and crossbreds,
such as. are used to drive deer Needless
to say, the man who regularly hunts
deer and hares will keep certain hounds
for each kind Of work Hounds schooled
to drive hareS are Il nuisance on a deer
hunt, owing TO their tendency to follow
the lesser game when the greater is
wanted. Smart barriers are excellent
for hares, but perhaps the best dogs for
the purpose are good sized beagles
These enterprisiug fellows are unex-
celled as trsilerS and have fine voices,
while they are just large enough to have
the necessary speed. The very small
beagles will rrail enthusiastically and
make fine music. but they are compare

DENSITY OF POPULATION.
The Most ThickIy PeOp1ed Spot In the
World Is In New York City. =.

The Most Tricky Peopled Spot In the
World Is In New York City. >.
In The Century is i paper by Mrs.
Schuyler Van RENSSELAER, on ''Places In
New York, i'll the course of which the
author says: Cross the Bowery now, and
you will enter the famous Tenth ward,
a true tenement house district, forming
part of the most crowded city quarter
in all the world. As whole, the city
of New York below the Harlem river
(the Island OF Mallhattan) is more dense
~ peopled than any other city in the
world, counting l43. 2 persons to the
acre, while Paris counts 1852. Then
one-sixth of the entire population Of all
New York, reckoning now with the
parts above the Harlem, too, is concen-
trated upon II acres OF ground. Here,
on the lower east side Of our town, in
the summer Of 1894. there dwelt some
324, 900 souls, averaging 1855 to the
acre, and a certain section of this great
area, the Tenth ward, showed a local
acre average Of CPS. rs. The most thickly
peopled spot i'll Europe is the Jew quar-
ter in Prague. hut it is only one-ffth as
large as our Tenth ward, while it shows
density scarcely greater than that of
the whole of the ! ii acres in which. the
Tenth ward is contnned-4S54 per
acre.
Nor is this the worst that our I'll
acres can reveal. Sanitary district A of
the Eleventh ward, bounded by Avenue
B and Second street. Columbia, Riving-
ton and Clinton streets, contains 80
acres, and in the summer Of 1894 each
Of them bore 9s6. i human beings. This
is the very thichest, blacklist coagula-
ton of humanity i'll all the known
world. No European place Of anything
like the Saline size even approaches it,
and its nearest rival is a part Of Bombay
where the average population over an
area OF 46. O6 acres is 80. sc.
Yet it should be remembered that,
while our acres are thus more heavily
burdened than any others, places can be
found in European as in Asatic towns
where people are more uncOmfOrtably
crowded within doors. There the houses
are low, but New York tenements are
very lofty. and thus our floor space to
the acre is much more extensive. More
over, although we are now more crowd
ed than ever before, our sanitary state
steadily improves. During the decade
which closed with 1914 our death rate
was 30.2 per 1000. During the one
which closed with 1894 it was 24O7.

CHlvALRY AND #MATRIMONY.
Time Honored Notions Of Olden Days
Which Don't Stand tho Test.

Time Honored Notions Of Olden Days
Which Don't Stand tho Test.
We all want to consider the days Of
chivalry as the golden days -never to
be recalled-for wnmankind. This is BY
implication rank injustice to our own
time.
With all its fine expressions of ardent
devotion to the fair sex and the multi
tude Of its exquisite pretensions, chival-
~ was the degradation Of the highest
and tenderest human instincts-the YER
liable curse of the course of true love.
Such statement presents itseSs to the
romantic believer as terrible counter
blast, but it is true, nevertheless. The
records of the treasury and the law
courts of those days, in furnishing the
experience of popular life deeply marked
by the worst shades of modern short
comlngs, provide the fullest proof
Chivalry did not make marriages, at
least in the sense of those born of loves
young dream; it entirely ignored all
sexual affections and sold its victims
with ruthless Indifference to all mutu-
atty. -
There We're not two parties to its bar
gains. There was only one, who was al
ways the third Of the group and the one
interested, not in satisfying the yearn-
lngs of the impassioned, but in a pecun-
larry sense of their value He was the
vender and might be either king or
baron. But whichever he was, he was
the incarnation of INSCRIPTIONS power.
The matrimonial transactions Of chiv-
airy were mercenary. - them there
We're no contracting parties" in the
shape of whispering lovers, ardent
SWANS and coy maidens. On the other
hand, there was but sullen Indifference
or hating compliance. Chlvalry canted
about its faith in women and the purity
Of its own motives; because it could not
sing of love. 1t may be said that it SO
canted because it knew it must cant
1t knew that its marriages had not
been made in heaven and of ethereal
sentiment. They We're eoarsely bargain
ed for, either in the king s exchequer or
il the open market place. Chivalry knew
itself as social falsity and the parent
Of lust. AS a consequence the clover
orders have had to give US the nomen-
clature of our love affairs. Chaucer, the
very mirror of the era of chivalry, has
typifed lust with his master hand,
but he has no picture of the gratified
tenderness Of longing youth. In his sur
roundings it was not suffered to exist.
These surroundings had no terms to
enumerate the ardent SWANS and coy
maidens of rusticity. But if the aris-
tocracy can produce no one instance of
the coy maiden, and the rustic sweet
heart remains to mock the dubious
fiancee, it has a wealth Of the arts of
diplomacy, and an inexhaustible list of
the terms Of intrigue. Chivalry gave ex-
preston to the word maitresse, which
may have and had the funniest of mean-
lngs.-New York Herald.

Decline of the Leech Trade,

The indicative leeN is now practi-
cally thing Of the past. The falling
off in the demand for leeches by the
medical profession is quite astonishing,
as may be judged from the fact that in
the year 1916 the two largest hospitals
in London called for about 80, 900 of
them, whereas now these institutions
order only so or 100 leeches at irregular
and infrequent intervals
We are informed by we'll known leech
importers that the trade in leeches has
been subject to such fierce competition
that the price has been brought down
almost to nil. The quotation for sin.
gle hundred leeches at the present mo-
ment is fixed at rate which is little
more than half what the great hospitals
paid for their enormous leech supplies
in 1916.
At that time the importation of
leeches was carried on by means of sail
ing boats plying to and from Smyrna;
but, owing to the difficulties of transfer
and the irregular arrival Of the boats,
many attempts We're made to conserve
and breed leeches in England One en-
terprising man established three ponds
ION his own at the top of Brixton hill
and used to dispose of many thousands
of leeches weekly. His successors, how

During Andrew Jackson's presidency
certain clerk in the treasury depart
ment showed marked Discrimination
to paying his board bill. He had signed
notes, but his landlady could collect no
money. In despair she went to the
White House to see jackson. She told
her story, and he requested her to get
the clerks note for the account. She
obeyed and carried the note to Andrew
jackson, who, after glancing over it,
affixed his signature to the back. Now,

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture Of DR.. Wards Linment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing OF success, but at last established living,
paving business, and made the name DIR. Wards"

ing all these long Years OF toing and waiting,
Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
found SO lost to every principle of right and
Justice as to undertake 70 despol him of his bus
mess, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits Of his life-leng labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts Of the country. sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
lust good as Dr.. Ward's,'' frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore. in order to protect his bust

Mr. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as a trade

DON'T NEED GREECE'S AID,
Russian Comment on the Publication OF
Crete.

Russian Comment on the Pacification of
Crete.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-The Of
fetal St. Petersburg Journal says: eve
recently stated the reasons which de-
termined the attitude of the imperial
government as to the Cretan situation
Unfortunately, they do not seem ade.
quately recognized at Athens. HUI
manitarian motives actuate the powers
more than any other consideration, as
has been shown by the action of the
powers toward the Hellenic govern
ment. The Greek note in reply to the
powers endeavors, in spite of the prac-
teal utility Of a system of autonomy
for Crete, to prove that annexation to
Greece will alone end a state of an
archy. While consenting to recall her
ships, Greece persists that the COOP
GRAFTON of her troops is necessary to the
pacifcation Of the island, after which
a plebiscite should decide the fate of
Crete.
Greece Should Acquiesce.
''Such an attitude is unsatisfactory.
The powers had not i'll the present case
to consult the opinion Of the Greek
government. They simply expressed
to Athens in succinct terms the decision
imposed by circumstances, whereunto
it was for Greece to conform. In re-
fusing to heed this decision, Greece
gives clear proof that under a pretext
of assuring a condition of peace and
order in Crete, she is really pursuing
much less disinterested object, namely,
annexation by surprise.
1.-The powers are too unanimously re-
solved to maintain peace in the East
to sanction such designs. They find
themselves compelled, though much
against their will, to have recourse to
vigorous measures which they shrink
from adopting in regard to Greece. At
the same time they will have in the re-
sources at their disposal sure means
of pacifying Crete without the CO.
operation of the Greek Troops

as though angels had nothing else to
do; or they would like some great
manifestation of power, not esteeming
the presence of the Holy Ghost as a
sufficient evidence. We find this di.-
ference existing among the people. But
speaking generally, the Latter-day
Saints have received testimony con-
corning the Gospel. They know it to
be true. They know i, by every sense;
in fact. il seems as though new sense
were DEVELOPED within them. 1t Is not
the sense OF sight, not the sense OF hear
Ing, not the sense OF touch, not the
sense OF taste. 1t is outside, or inside
may say, OF all the senses, more con-
vlncing than all of them combined, and
something that they cannot explain,
only they know it is there. gilt from
God. which assures them that The Cos
pei is true. They are convinced that
this is so, and they cannot be persuaded
otherwise, because the power and testi-
mony they have is irresistible, and they
know il is not from man. And that
sense remains with every Latter-day
Saint so long as he or she is
pure. Here is another evidence
that this IS the work OF God.
As long as men and women are
pure, that sense TO which refer will al
