GERMANY'S WAR ISLAND
is CRUMBLING AWAY
Count Says That HelgoIand
Should Be DESTROYED

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-The Importance of
Helgoland to Germany in case of war
with Great Britain is the subject of a
long article by Count ReventIow in the
Deutsche Tageszeitung. In spite of as
surances given in the reichstag a cou-
pie of years ago the island is in grave
danger of crumbling away. and the
government is asking for further
100000 for the construction of a pro-
tective wall along it's southern face.
The demand has revived the doubts
as to the expediency of the enormous
expenditure which has been lavished
on the buttressing and fortifcation of
this fragment of fragile rock.
The count argues that the island has
always had negative value for Ger
many, since, if Great Britain had pos
sessed it, she would have been able to
paralyze naval mobilization from the
harbors along the east coast of the
North sea. This, he says, was until re-
Gently the only advantage Germany had
from its possession. as the harbor could
become an anchorage for large ships
of war. But, he continues:
This has been changed in the last
few years by the unforeseen develop
ment of mines and subnfarin boats
These two weapons of floating coast
defense. in conjunction with torpedo
craft, make it possible to render un-
available the inside portion of the bay
of the North sea for a deep blockade.
such as was formerly contemplated"
The count concludes that if it should
prove impossible to fortify Helgoland
with sufficient strength to render it
the only course would be
to blow it to pieces and to cut a canal
along the coast to keep open the COM
between the Ems and the
Jade and the Weser and the Ems
rivers

MIDDAY ORGIFSDUE
TO BUSINESS DEALS
London Coroner Tells of Many
Victims Whose Deaths Are
Due to Liquor

LONDON, Feb. 19.-If the hopes of
the well known London coroner. Trout
beck. are fulfilled. Come and have a
drink" viii soon become a quite un-
familiar phrase.
For. a man whose position makes
him all too well acquainted with the
result of the invitation, Troutbeck
makes dead set against "nipping in
the course of business.
Summing up at Lambeth in A case
where narcotic poisoning, due to the
continual use of alcohol was stated to
have caused corn brokers death,
Troutbeck said:
1T appears that there are still Ger
tain businesses in which it is neces-
sary for men to drink together, though
l should have thought these midday
orgies were no longer necessary.
apparently the custom dies hard.
1T is unfortunate to have to say So
Troutbeck remarked after the inquest,
but even in these enlightened days
there certainly are many men who find
it impossible to cement bargain with
out recourse to the eternal drink.
The case you mention shows that
the habit obtains largely enough in
one business, and L have no reason to
believe that that business is excep-
tional
Recently a victim from quite another
walk of life was the subject of one of
my inquests.
The man in question earned his liv-
ing by winding up clocks, and appar-
emily every clock he wound meant
drink with the owner or hall porter, or
some one. Anyway, it was plainly
shown in evidence that he drank. free
ly in the course of business, with the
result you know. And that's a typical
case.
But ! really believe and hope that
things are on the mend. l Judge from
the proportionately decreasing number
of inquests, and considering the over
whelming proportion of inquests that
are connected with drink, this test is
surely not a bad one.
The days are past when a man who
viii not drink at any moment of the
day is considered unsociable.' and
every one will be glad to see such a
weak and feeble custom go"

KRUPPS MAKE GUNS TO
ATTACK ARMY BALLOONS
Quick Firing Models Carry Pro-
jectiles 14,500 Yards

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-The Krupps of
Essen are manufacturing a new type
of quick firing gun for use against air
ships.
There are two models, the first of
rs centimeters and the second of 1O.5
centimeters .caliber. The lighter gun
is mounted on a motor car and the
larger one is intended for use aboard
ships The guns fire a special charge
consisting of explosive grenades, the
explosion occurring on piercing the bal
loon.
Elevation is possible to rs degrees
from the horizontal with range of
$50 degrees, and the projectiles of the
smaller gun will carry 10000 wards.
When elevated to 20 degrees the pro
jectiles will reach height of 1000
yards.
The larger gun will carry 14.50O
yards, with maximum height of .. 300
yards The guns will not only be use

WOMAN LOSES SUIT
ON ACCOUNT OF DOG
English Jury Thought Miss
Emmet Tripped Over Pet

LONDON. Feb. ia fox terrier
named Jack. described by his mistress,
Miss Kathleen Emmett as "a wonderful
dog" was the central figure of a per
sonal injury case that was decided by
Justice Ridley and a special jury.
1t was suggested by lawyers that
Jack was responsible for an accident
that happened to Miss Emmett at Kings
land railway station, Herefordshire, on
Christmas eve, 1908. but she repudiated
this indignantly.
1t was entirely the fault of the Great
Western railway, she said, that when
she alighted on Kingsland platform,
with Jack on chain. she tripped over
A tin box. She therefore claimed dam
ages from the company
Miss Emmett is an American. She
had come down to join the Christmas

TO Miss Emmets artless vivacity.
With many smiles, almost bushes,
he asked her forgiveness for the ques-

that Jack caused her to fall by pulling
at his lead.
Jack never does such thing, de-
clared the young woman. He always
walks in front Of me. He never gets in
my way. He keeps the right distance
ahead"
Lush Ia stened to explain that he did
not wish to blame Jack
I was afraid you might have done
So" said Miss Emmett, severity fading
from her tones And then, seeing how
sorry counsel was, she added
People might have thought he was
pulling. but he wasn't. He always
walks in the same way-just in front
of me- He has walked that way for
the last five years"
For five years. In the same way"
murmured Justice Ridley. What an
extraordinary dog"
Yes. he is a very wonderful dog"
agreed Miss Emmett.
What happens when you stop"
asked the willy Lush.
why, Jack stops, too" was the
quick retort
Miss Emmett contended that the
lights on the station platform were in
sufficient and Lord Bateman, her host,
gave dispara ging evidence about them.
The jury. however, decided that the
lights were sufficient for the require
ments of Kingsland, and. while sym
