A HINT TO GERMANY.

It is rather amusing to find the Ger man press manifesting aggrieved sur prise over the new naval plans of the British Admiralty. MT. Balfour an- nounced yesterday that fortified nav al station is to be established on the north side of the Firth of Forth. It has practically been decided also to de- tach portion of the fleet and assign it to cruising duty in the North Sea and in the Baltic. The innocent surprise which the Germans display over the receipt of this intelligence is really touching in it's simplicity. Why, it real ly looks, they say, as though the Eng fish were preparing to protect them selves from any possible attack on the part of Germany.
 It does, to be sure, rather look that way. But why the Germans should be so startled and so shocked about it IS something of a psychological problem.
 During the past year or two the Ger man naval authorities have been giv- ing particular attention to the construc- tion of works al Eiel, especially intend ed to provide for the rapid mobilization of transports for the purpose of con- veying an invading army to the Brit ish coast. The German press has again and again announced this fact with glee. German naval officers have writ ten long articles in the service maga- zines to show how cleverly this invas- ion scheme could be carried out, and even in the Reiohstae the subject has been referred to with general aproba- tion. Under the circumstances, what did the Germans suppose that the British government would do? In was a notorious fact that the | British coast on the North Sea wis without any efficient protection, and here was potential enemy making active preparations to descend upon it in certain eventualities. Even If the English people were afflicted with all the Dummheit which certain Ger mans are fond of ascribing to them, they could scarcely sit still and wait amiably for the spiked helmets to come swarming into their inland countries. It is too bad, of course, that German sensibilities should be hurt; but in England at the present time nobody, except. perhaps, Lord Lansdowne, is very seriously interested in coddling German susceptibilities.-N.Y Y.

A BAD LANDS INCIDENT
General Mix-up in Which All Got the
 Worst of It.

Carlos Aldai was arrested Monday
 night by Constable Henry Gonzales,
 who pulled him out from his hid ing place under the bed in his family castle in the southern part of town, thrust him in jail and lodged against him the charge of aggravated assault. The story of his crime is that he took up the quarrel of Guadalupe Martinez against a man named Hugh Mchlbben short time before his arrest, followed the latter from the Columbus saloon, near where the quarrel occurred, and all but cut him to pieces with d olS knife. McKibben, however, was not slow to act after he felt the keen blade grating against his ribs He lmmedi- ately grabbed a ragged stone and ham, mered Aldai's countenance into mock
 Hamburger steak. But before he could jar himself loose from the Mexican he he'd received three bad cuts in the back and another bad one in one of hlS wrists. Fortunately the wound in the wrist missed the artery.
 McKibbey went to the city hall as soon as possible and told his story. The city physician was called and dressed
 his wounds, taking twenty-five stitches
 in his back He will make a good re- covery TO doubt, as the wounds are not
 deep or necessarily dangerous.
 The police and constables all begar
 search for the man who did the cut
 ting. At the Columbus they learned the identity of the participants. The
 woman was arrested by the police and
 was yesterday sentenced to serve thirty days in jail. McKibben, who came here from Cripple Creek, was arrested and
 tried for disorderly conduct, found
 guilty and will be sentenced today.
 Nicholas York, who runs the Columbus
 saloon,w arrested On a similar charge
 and will be tried by Justice Robertson
 today. Aldai, as mentioned, was pulled
 out from under the bed at his own
 home whither he had retreated, and
 will be examined by Justice Robertson
 this afternoon at 1:30.
 Aldai seems to have a faculty for
 keeping in trouble, beside having re-
 putation already that is hard to live down. He was sentenced to prison once
 by Judge Baker for seven years and T
 half and paroled after serving five years. He had previously served term
 of two years for burglary of a house on Seventh avenue.

CROW CAW-CUSES.
John Burroughs Refutes Statements r Made by Thompson Seton.

For forty years I have seen crows ir winter in different parts of the country, passing to and fro between their rock cries and their feeding grounds, and have never seen anything like leader ship among them. They leave their roasting placs at daybreak and dis perse north and south or east and west to their feeding grounds, going in loose straggling bands and silently, except in early spring, and they return at night In the same way, flying low if it is stormy, and windy and high if it is calm, rising up or sheering off if they see, gunner or other suspicious ob- ject, but making no sound, uttering no signal notes. They all have eyes equal ly sharp and do not need to be warned. They are all on the alert. When feed ing, they do post sentry, and he cawc when danger approaches, and takes to wing. They do not dart into a bush when pursued by king bird or pur- pie martin; they are not afraid of . hawk; they cannot count six, though such traditions exist (Silver Spot could count thirtyD they do not cav when you stand under them in winter to turn their course, they do not drill their young, and they do not flock together in June; they cannot worry a fox into giving up his dinner; they do not, so far as we know, have perpetual ser- tries, they have no calls that, so far as we know, answer to our words Mount" "Bunch," "Scatter," De scend," Form Line.''

4 Especial Cable to The Times-Dispatoh.)
LONDON, Sept. 1s.-The Postofflce De.

problem Of handling the immense flood OF

TOOK l2O GRAINS
OF COCAINE DAILY
London Man Gave Way to
Drug Habit and Became
irresponsible.

Especial Cable to The Times-Dspatch)
LONDON, September 19.--Not since the
day when De Quinceys "Confessons of
an Opium Eater were in everybody's
mouth has there been such general CONF
ment on the habit OF consuming drugs as
has resulted from the examination before
q magistrate OF Ambrose Winterton, an
author, charged with swindling. who con-
fesscd that he had reached the pitch Of
taking 100 grains of cocaine daily.
The prisoner was arrested In an inc
briates' home at Colinsburgh. Fife. In
spector Mccarthy told the magistrate that
Winterton had been previously convicted
several times. IN the last case he forged
q certificate representing that his wife
was dead. and posed as distressed actor.
He was sentenced to seven years penal
servitude, and was at present under po-
lice supervision.
Mr.. Sparks said that in defense he could
only urge that Winterton had given way
entirely to the drug habit. and 1t had
rendered him absolutely irresponsible.
This case has led to investigations which
show that in London cocaine taking is
certainly on the increase. Chemists are
constantly being asked to supply the drug
to victims Of the habit. Most OF them
refuse to do so unless they are shown a
Doctors prescription. but by some means
it is obtained. large sums being paid In
many cases for sufficient cocoaine to last
only few days.
The daily averages from five grains
to fifty, so that IT Winterton's story Is
to be believed. and he took 12o grains a
day. he must have been taking the poison
for lengthy period and continually In
creasing the dose, or such large quanti-
ty would have proved fatal.
The first effects Of the drug are tmme-
dlate relief from physical and mental sui
fering, sense OF increased mental power
and visor being felt by the victim. Col
lapse soon follows, however, and as the
drug is taken more frequently, sleepless-
ness and acute depression succeed any
failure to obtain the regular dose. while
melancholla and suicidal tendencies In
crease as the months pass.
