A Brief Resume Of tho Most I'M
portant Happenings In the
German Empire.

Zurich.--A local shoemaker, upon
The death Of his sweetheart, %appren-
ticed himself to stone-cutter so that
he might execute a fitting tribute to
her memory: After fourteen months
he became sufficiently proficient to
carve a beautiful rose on a marble
slab and engrave beneath it, "Such
was She." He personally erected the
stone over her grave, and then went
back to cobbling.
A German firm-Messrs. Draeger-
werk of Lubeck-have profited by
hints afforded by the automobile, the
aeroplane and the hydroplane to per-
feet deep-sea vehicle for the diver
calculated to accomplish pretty near
ly everything required of it. This
new device may be described as a
sort of automobile, on runners instead
Of wheels, and having hydroplane at
tachments whereby it's equilibrium
can be maintained while the runners
are off the bottom. The vehicle has
no power of it's own, being drawn
through the water and along the bot
tom of the sea by a motor boat on
the surface to which it is attached
by wire cables, and with whose driver
the diver is in communication by tele-
phone.
The French caused great excite
ment among the Germans living along
the French boundary line by starting
test mobilization The French war
office wanted to know how the people
felt toward Germany. In view of the
recent activity against militarists,
would they respond promptly to a call
to the colors? 1t was realized, how
ever, that mobilization, unless fully
explained, would instantly arouse the
deepest resentment among the Ger
mans. Accordingly the incident over,
it was reported that a postal clerks
error in transmitting a telegram had
given chief of geDdarmes at strate-
gic frontier point the mistaken i'm
preston that he was to assemble the
reserves in the shortest possible time.
The incident also caused a stock mar
ket panic.
The st. Petersburg Novoe Vremya
lied about the Koelnische Zeitung in
such a manner as to get itself into
serious trouble. The Novoe Vremya
published sensational announce
ment that the Koelnische Zeitung had
printed telegram from it's st. Peters,
burg correspondent announcing the
immediate resignation Of Secretary of
State Sazenoff AS the Koelnische is
the official organ of the German for
eign office, the statement was of great
monetary profit to some people. The
correspondent produced copies of his
paper for the period involved, show
ing that the Koelnische never pub
lished the statement The Novoe
Vremya refused to publish a disclaim-
er, with the result that the rest of the
press publicly denc need the scandal.
The evening edition of the Novoe
Vremya was subjected to criminal
prosecution for wilfully publishing
false news.
After two years of tests, in which
he has submitted his serum to every
conceivable ordeal, DR.. Frederick
Franz Friedman, the German tuber-
culosis expert, exhibited a score of
patients he pronounced absolutely
cured of consumption. He declared
that the remedy sought by scientists
for 10 OF loc a.
doctor also said he is now chiefly con-
cerned with getting the remedy into
the hands of doctors who can use it
everywhere. "The serum, originally
produced from turtles" said the doc
tor, lis easily used. One injection
usually drives all signs of tuberculo-
sis from the system. Not only that,
but it immunizes against tuberculosis.
Cures come within few weeks. OF
course, lung tissue that is gone
cannot be replaced, but all of the
germs within the body are destroyed,
the wounds in the lungs heal and all
fever disappears. inject the serum

The war against the bucketshop
brokers has now been carried with
success into the law courts by the ma
| tional organization of German bank
ers. Three socalled "bankers'' have
been sentenced to imprisonment, one
for three years and two for five years.
Another man was fined for infringing
the law against unfair competition
through advertising his business as a
| bank. Not less than sixteen persons

business in Germany through circu-

many inexperienced Germans have

German courts cannot reach these
