+a, So far as is known, there is no quad ruped that will not, if thrown into the water at any age. instinctively make more or less successful effort to swim. The cat Is the last animal to seek the water voluntarily, but even a kitten too young to have eyes will rescue itself from drowning without help unless it is compelled to swim too far. In this all the other animals
 have advantage over, man and his progeny. But even the human youth will, below certain age, do some
 thing about swimming in an emer- gency.. But as soon as a child is old enough to realize the supposed peril of the water, its self-rescue is i'm probable. At the age of adult con- sciousness, it Is hopeless.-New Haven Register.

WAR BRIEFS

Once again the armies strug- gling for mastery in the coast ter ritory along the North seq are the ofjcct of the intensest interest in the European war, for it is in this region that the Germans are con centrating their great forces with the object of smashing through the allied lines to reach the French ports on the English chan nel.
 Already the Germans have gained an important strategic point in the recapture of Dix nude. Their latest official an- nouncoment is of an extremely optimistic nature from the Ger man standpoint for they report good progress around Ypres, the taking of Dixmude with 800 pris- oaers. the capture Of the first line of the allied position west of Ianeemarck, with two thousand prisoners. the repuse of fierce counter attacks by the British and the holding of the heights to the north of Armentieres and further advance to the southwest of Lille
 In comparison the French off cial statement is meager. It con fines itself to the mere announce ment that the Germans have con tinued their efforts without achieving any new results.

Bills presented for rediscount should be essentially self iquidat ing" which the board explained means that they should represent some distinct step in the productive or distributive process and be of such Character that it is reasonably sure that can be collected at maturity.
 In addition to these principles the board requires that such paper be indOrsed by the member bank offer ing it for re-discount that the in- dorser bank waive demand notice and protest; that such paper be issued or drawn for agricultural. industrial or commercial purposes or the proceeds of which have been so used: that if in the form of acCeptances they must be based on transactions involving the importation or exportaton of goods, and have a maturity of not longer than three months.
