Memories Of My Journey to India
William Crown Prince" is the ii

published in Berlin depicting various
scenes from the recent Eastern tour
of the German Crown Prince.
The volume of 70 photographs is
elegantly printed and arranged. and
bears it's title on the outer cover in
facsimile of the Princes handwriting
Every one of the 70 photographs
with the exception, of course, of those
on which he himself is shown, was
taken personally by the royal trav
eler, and in his compilation of the
work the Prince has taken the great

The photographs are so arranged
as to give a complete review of the
Princes travels, and clearly indicate
what mostly interest the heir to the
German Throne during his sojourn in
the British Indian Empire.

the officers of the Signal Corps.

that the manufacturers in foreign

Singular as it may seem. the Sig

is no standard monoplane manufac-

Inasmuch as there has been no real
war since the flying machine has been

convinced that this weapon will be
an important element in the fighting

Few men realize how much they arc

Charles H.. and vet it is to that mon
arch we owe the adoption of the waist
coat as regular article of gentle
mans dress. says London NJ. A. +.
At least that is so il we are to accept
the statement Of Pepys. who in his
diary under date Of Oct 16. 1865.
states: ''The king has declared his res
Olution to set q fashion which he
would never alter" and This day
King Charles IL. began to put on his
vest. 1t Is very fine and handsome
garment"
Prior to this date they were excep-
tional garments. and there is even
some doubt whether they were orig
inally worn by ladies or gentlemen.
though there is good reason to believe
they superseded the doublet. such as
was worn by Raleigh. Essex and other
notables Of the Elizabethan age.
A neat waistcoat wrought in silk
and gold" is mentioned in Patient
Grissell." 1902. and there is a painting
in distemper of a vest on the walls Of
Winchester cathedral. dated 1889. SO
that what Charles II. took was merely
an existing garment. which he re-
modelled. and by his patronage so pop
ularized it that it became standard

Especial Cable from the International
News ServiceS
BERLIN, Aug. 5.-An eighty-year-oldl
German diplomat, now retired from ac
tive service ana a close friend of Herr
Won -Waechter, with whom
have just had a long talk, assures
me that at no time was there any rea-
son whey the statesmen of Europe,
sweltering under the heat of an unus-
ual summer, should have added to
their distress by imagining that the
dispatch of a German Warship to Nor
Deco ever meant an attempt to break
the peace of the world. The idea that
fairs, he said, should be such a fool
as to believe that Great Britain would
ever permit the foundation of Ger
man Mauretania" on the Atlantic
coast of Morocco, is so preposterous,
that nobody would have given it mo-
heat been less trying.
Germany has no wish to found, at
least at present, great Colonial en-
pire which would tie down a great
part of her newly created navy. What
she does want is a certain quantity of
foreign territory in various parts OF
the world, which she can acquire in
peaceable manner, and which will
make it possible to make the growing
industry of the country independent
of foreign raw materials.
We have a promising cotton indus
try, but at present we are dependent
on the American market, and this is
why we inveset millions of marks in
promoting cotton growing in our AT
rican colonies until we are in posi-
ton to do without the American pro-
duct. We need iron ore and coal in
enormous quantities which we hope
to get in China, probably by leasing
Chinese territory, rather than invad-
ing it, and we want rubber, millions
of tons of rubber, and this We must
get from Africa.
We get considerable rubber from
Cameron now, but just north of our
boundary line in French Congo there
is a strip of land which abounds in
rubber. If this strip were coded to
Germany by France, we would gladly
permit France to swallow as much of
Morocco, as she thinks she can man.
age and I sRuld be very much mis-
taken if France will not find way to
come to an amicable settlement of
this kind, which would be equally
profitable to both countries and which
no power could object to.
In it's desire to overshadow any 9TH
er city in Europe in rapid development
the city of Berlin has greatly over
reached itself and house owners and
spectators who a year or two ago
could not put up buildings fast enough
are now bitterly complaining because
they have to pay taxes on their new
built houses while they find it impos-
sible to tenant then.
There are at present more than
65, 900 flats standing empty in Berlin
and it's suburbs. according to an Of
fetal report just issued. OF those flats
2S,9S7 are in Berlin itself and over
81, 600 of them consist of two rooms

Fish Tales

1t vas reported in yesterdays pa
per that the blue fish are driving
out all the other fish down around
Bedford. 1t is claimed by fishermen
down there, that the blues devour
all the smaller species, such as
weaks and other fish. This would
be a good place for local anglers to
drop a line overheard, and make a
few sensational hauls. This de-
vouring process must account for
all the large blues which are run
ming at present down around Keans-
burg and Highlands. Nothing but
blues are ever caught there, a weak
being a big surprise in that section.
Rain has prevented catching of
much fish out at Acker's, in Sc
warren, but few messes having been
brought In there in the last few
days. Acker is preparing for a big
time Labor Day week and expects a
large crowd down.
No anglers went out on the water
yesterday, the weather conditions
prevailing causing a scarcity of the
followers Of that sport.
Reports say that fish bite best in
rainy weather, but most of the fish
ermen seem to be satisfied with the
regular sized catches made, rather
than sit out in the rain all day.
