If craftsmanship in Germany and
England has not gone sterile, and dip
lomacy become imbecile, some way of
making and keeping the peace between
those two countries will speedily be
found. The present situation Of
either, as pictured by its own public
men, is growing rapidly to be ~intolera.
BILE; while their relations, as expressed
in the alarms and ~jealousies and re-
ordinations over the desperate COM
petition in naval ornaments, are daily
becoming more bitter and tense. If
ever there was a chance for large
craftsmanship, it is offered to-day on
both sides of the North sea. Unless
skill in diplomatic adjustment has per-
ished there, a road to cancellation and
to lasting confidence and friendship
will be found.

Experiments in Germany go to show
that airships are likely to be less dam
gerous in war than many enthusiasts
had anticipated. In fact, from latest
reports the danger would seem to be
the other way. A Berlin dispatch
asserts that it is almost impossible
for dirigible balloons to escape the fire
of field pieces and rifles. The ships
cannot rise high enough or make suf-
ficient speed to get out of range. New
and improved artillery makes the
chance of escape still less. And the
fate of an enemy in an airship hit by
shells or balls from hostile weapons
may be better imagined than de-
scribed. Until aviation shall be brought
to greater perfection the airship in
war promises to be a negligible guam
tity.

strong enough to talk and tried to
apologize to him and ask his forgive
ness for my abominable conduct he
would not permit it. He was a man
and a gentleman, at all times.
One day he told me how he had
come to rescue me.
HE had followed after me when I
ran from the house, only stopping
long enough to get his gun. This de-
lay had allowed me to mount the
horse and secure a good start. He
knew 1t was useless to follow on foot,
and he had lost further time catching
a pony and saddling 1t.
Before he managed to reach the
giant cactus where I had hobbled my
horse, he heard the firing at the land
ing. He had arrived at the river in
time to see the boat landing at the
farther shore.
"As soon as the bandits had left,
he swan his horse across the stream
and found my hat. His pony struck It
with a hoof and knocked 1t out into
the moonlight. He had picked It up
and found the message Upon the brim.
Approaching that pursuit was use
less. he had fastened back to Preside
to secure assistance. He met Capt.
Davis and ten rangers on the way.
They had returned to camp sooner
than was expected, and seeing Jar
rails note. had pushed on to Preside
without rest.
"The rangers then committed q
breach Of international law. With
Jarrall for guide, they had invaded
Mexico and rescued me-"

Some encouragement may be found
in the fact that the March fire loss in
the United States and Canada, given
at $1S, 795, 400. shows a marked falling
off as compared with the two immedi-
ately preceding years. The total for
the three months of 1909 was $50, 661,-
400, which also was much below the
figures for 1907 and 1908. Having
started well. let 1t be hoped the pres
emit year will continue the good work.
No one can doubt that there is wide
opportunity to reduce the annual ash
heap.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink Il?

A minister's wife had quite a tussle,
with coffee and her experience is in-
teresting. She says:
During the two years Of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, I
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and 1t was quite natural that
/ should want a good, hot cup Of COT
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me.
and could keep awake better.
After three or four years Of coffee
drinking I became a nervous wreck
and thought that I simply could not,
live without my coffee. All this time.
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so v q to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave of coffee for he,
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO / resolved to-
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for q.
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack OF the stimulant, but I
liked the taste Of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally I began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After q
years use Of Postum ! now feel ike q

The government has been selling
firearms of discarded patterns to any
one who wanted them for a dollar
apiece. They are worth many times
the price. Some of the people who
bought them were relic and trophy
hunters. A real gun Is an effective or

1t is said, belonged to the criminal

no good purpose. The adoption of the

TEMPORARY MILKY WAY
Wagon Upsets, Splitting Lac
teal Fluid Over South
Broadway.

Gary had a milky way all of its own
yesterday afternoon when a milk wag-
on, loaded with half a dozen cans of
milk, overturned in a runaway, and
saturated the street on South Broadway
with the fluid for nearly a block. The
breaking down of a wagon near them
was the cause of frightening the horses
and causing the accident.
The milk wagon was owned by Peter
Romank, who was driving in from the
country with the days supply. AS he
was coming down Broadway a heavy
wagon suddenly broke down in front or
him with a crash and frightened his
own team. These dashed down the
street at fast clip and they had only
gone short distance when the wag-
on overturned.
Every can, which the dealer had, was
either broken or the cover came out so
that gallon after gallon of the fluid
was poured out on the pavement. Fort
unately the driver was uninjured, and
the horses were easily stopped. The
loss to the owner from the partially
destroyed wagon and the milk, how
ever, was considerable.

Mr.. Crowell is unable to tell at this
