When Jules Verne wrote around
the World in Eighty Days" it was con-
sidered the greatest flight OF the
Imagination the world had ever
known. Now it is possible to go
around it easily in forty days, and 1t
has been done in less time. Who
knows but what the combination air
and water craft now being built to
cross the Atlantic in twelve to fifteen
hours will some day be a reality
Bryan Eagle.
No reader OF Verne's works can fail
to note the remarkable resemblance
of the Zeppelin airship and the mod
ern submarine boat to the purely
imaginary crafts pictured by him
years before the progress of inven-
ton had given promise of the possible
realization of some of his most fan
tastic and entertaining conceptions.
So striking is the resemblance or
these modern crafts to those portray
ed by Verne, that mere coincidence Is
raised to the seeming dignity OF pro-
phecy.-Houston Post.

THE PATIENT HANDS OF TOLL.
(Contributed.)

(Contributed.)
Have YOU never looked with COM
passion upon the patient hands Of toll?
They may be seen in the street cars
OF the factory district after the days
work is done-many of them. Knot
ted and gnarled, covered with grease
and CRIME, SCARED and often manned
they are not lovely to look at But
what a touching story of hardship and
sacrifice they tell! The burden of the
world has fallen heavily upon these
hands and they have borne 1t bravely
through long, wearisome years. Every
dsagreeable and unwelcome task is
heaped upon them. They accept their
portion as a matter of course, and
struggle on uncomplainingly And
what is their recompense? More toll
more hardships, and a pitifully mea'
ger livelihood. That is all. Yet the
debt that society owes these hands
can never be paid, 1t can hardly be
estimated. Everyone of us owes them
a debt of gratitude. The houses we
live in, the clothes We wear, the food
that comes to our table-all these are
in the greatest part the fruit OF these
hands. They have erected the whole
vast material structure of our civiliza.
| ton. There is not moment Of cush-
toned ease or single delight or lux
ury that cannot trace its origin or
basis to the labor Of the patient hands
OF toll.
Yet they are denied the finer joys
of life. Their suffering is translated
into happiness for the world. but they
cannot enter into the enjoyment they
have made possible for others. Mutely
but eloquently they plead their own
cause. May we hope that the world
will some day be more just and kind
ly in apportioning the burden and joys
OF life?

What's the matter with the pro-
posed government building for Bryan?
The site was purchased and paid for
three years ago and there the matter
rests. 1t was given out from Wash
ington a year or more ago that the
contract for the erection of the build
ing would be let in November, 1918,
but November has come and gone and
there is no contract yet. The govern
ments seems to be possessed of a
never ending supply of red tape.

The esteemed Bryan Eagle has had
a good deal to say of late about get

right about it. No town can accom-

not practically unit on public mat

the pull, and the bigger the pull the
more rapid and decided is the advance
made. The folks at Navasota need to

Mcfarland May Cancel Fight-Kid
Williams Posts Coin.

On the statements OF EMIL lnlTy,
manager of Packey Mcfarland, is
based the belief that there is strong
probability of hitch in the scheduled
fight between the stockyards Irish
man and Mike Gibbons, the St. Paul
phantom.
Thirty said Packey would leave for
New York some time today to con-
suit with Billy Gibson, promoter of
the fight, who has changed the date
from Feb. IL until some time early
in March.
On the conference between McFar-
land and Gibbons will depend the fate
of the fight, according to Thirty.
This means that the promoter and
Gibbons will have to agree to every
demand made by Mcfarland, or the
local man will cancel his end of the
agreement and refuse to go on with
the mill.
Kid Williams is showing good faith
this time in his determination to get
Johnny Coulon into the ring. He post
ed a $500 forfeit with Promoter Tom
McCarey in Los Angeles and put up
another check for 81, 900 to be paid
Coulon as a bonus when the bantam
champion signs articles.
Williams and his manager say they
will not bubble over terms. Coulon
says the only demand he will make is
that Williams must make 116 pounds.
Johnny adds that he will be ready for
hostilities some time in April.
p The fight between Battling Levin
sky and Jim Flynn, set for Feb. in
Troy, N. Y, has been indefinitely
postponed because of Flynn's illness.
This is the second time the bout has
been put off and it is doubtful if the
two men will hook UP in the near
future. Levinsky hasn't had a fight |
for at least a week and is going stale.

home in Meriden, Conn, yesterday,
and said he was in fine physical con-
dition and would be able to stand up
under the grind of a major league
campaign the coming summer.
Best of all, Big Ed really looked to
be in condition. Several times last
summer the report was sent out that
Walsh was back in shape, but each
time he started this claim was proved
false. But now the star spit looks like
different man.
He has been taking it easy near his
home, putting in all his time with his
gun and dogs. He has allowed him
self to relax mentally and has not
worried for a minute over baseball.
Worry over his poor showing was in
large measure responsible for his fail
Ure last year.
Ed Was~not used to going out on
the mound and having his offerings
pounded by the opposition. He pitch
ed to his limit, but nothing he had
seemed to be battling. His nerves fin
ally snapper under the strain and he
was forced to take complete rest.
Walsh will leave for Paso Robes
in few days, probably the early part
of next week. He is of the opinion
that the flying start will set him up
and put him in condition to start the
hard grind as soon as the main body
reaches California.
Joe Berger sent his signed con-
tract to the White Sox, and with it
came the usual letter, Joe averring
that he would be some ballplayer this
year and would make them all hustle
to beat him out of the job.

Berger it has ring of sincerity This
young German is one of the gamest
guys who ever played ball on the

SHIP TRANSFE
PROBLEM FOR j. s.
Sale of German Vessels to
Americans is Likely to be
Held Void by England and
France.

WASHINGTON, Aug. State de-
partment officials are studying the
provisions agreed upon at the Lon
don naval conference of 1909 in con-
neCtiOn with the proposal Of the Ham
burg-American line 10 sell a number
of ships TO citizens of the United
States 10 engage I'm the foreign trade.
Under the London agreement il is
doubtful whether England or France
would regard such a transfer as valid.
Article 50 OF the London agreem ent
is as follows:
THE transfer OF an enemy's vessel
to a neutral hag effected because of
the outbreak of hoStilities is valid un-
less il is proved that such transfer
was made in order 10 evade the con-
sequences to which an enemy's vessel
as such is exposed. There is, however.
a presumption If the bill of sale is not
on board a vessel which has lost her
belligerent nationality less than Go
days before the outbreak Of hostilities
that the transfer is void. This pre-
sumption may be rebutted'
Article IS reads that the transfer
of an enemys vessel TO a neutral nag
after the outbreak of hostiiities is void
unless it Is proved that such trans
fer was not made in order TO evade the
TO which an enemy's yes
sell as such is exposed.
There. however. Is an absolute pre-
that the transfer is void.
"l-If the transfer has been made
during a voyage or in "a blockade6
port
EFF a right 10 repurChase or rec
ognize the vessel Is reserved 10 the
vender
"3-If the requirements OF the mu-
nicipal law governing the right 10 fly
the fag under which the vessel Is sail
ing have not been fulfilled"
state Officials Puzzled.
Under these provisions the state de-
partment officials are puzzled 90 un-
cerstand how transfers OF German

ships to the American flag can be held
not to be made Ito avoid the conse-
quences TO which they are exposed"
by the outbreak of hostilities.
The question Of good faith is the
rule which would be applied in de-
termining the character of the trans
fer. If any ships of the Hamburg
American line were bought by Amer
leans the transfers would have 20 be
complete without reservation of any
kind and with the utmost good faith
on both sides Even at that Great
Britain would probably question the
transfers and hold up the ships on the
ground that the sale was made to es-
cape the consequences OF the war
The burden would then be on the
American owners 10 prove that this
was not the case.
The London agreements although
ratified by the United States senate
was never formally executed by this
country as the president did not sign
il. This was because of the delay of
the other countries I'm ratifying the
act. The British parliament ratified
the agreement. but afterwards rescind-
ed its action.
Notwithstanding its unofficial char
acter the London agreement has
grown 20 be regarded as the best ex-
preston OF International law and the
nations which were party TO the con-
ference are regarded as morally bound
by its terms. Russia. Turkey and 9TH
er countries have followed its provi-
sions since their enactment.
IL is expected that a wholesale
transfer OF German ships TO the Amer
lean flag would be regarded both with
resentment and suspicion by England.
France and Russia and that these
ships probably would be seized and
their status determined in the prize
courts OF the nation making the seiz-
ure.
