GERMANS GOT
 NEAR ENGLAND
WALKED UP BRITISH SLEEVE IN HERM AS WELL AS
 HELIGOLAND.
(By The Associated Press.}


 LONDON, Dec. 2S.-One of the strangest stories that has been given birth by the great war is that of the Island of Herm, the leasing of which to a German company was recently discussed in the House of Commons. The lease has been terminated, and British troops are billeted on the island, but the question is still being asked, why was England so lax as 70 rent for a song an island larger thar Heligoland, within an hours steaming of English shores?
 Hem is one of the lesser channel islands and at one time supported a considerable population. It is beauti- ful spot, with an attractive shell beach. In 1889 it was leased by the Crown for $7O. a year to the "West Bank Liegnitz Ltd.," which in turn leased it to Prince Butcher von Wahl- statt, a descendent of the illustrious Butcher of Waterloo and himself a German. The Prince and his family lived quietly for years in the manor house on the Island, incurring the great displeasure of those who sought to ramble over the place by closing all save one narrow pathway on the beach and clustering about many warnings to trespassers.
 Children were born to the Princess there-she is of the Russian royal family-and one of these, boy, be- came a naturalized British subject. At no time was the Prince suspected of using his home in any operations against England; but when the war broke out the matter became one of natural agitation eliminating in the Home Secretary being asked for an explanating by Sir William Bull.
 The explanation was brief. The Government knew the name of the German company holding the lease, it knew moreover that the rent was about five shillings six pence a week; that steps had been taken to cancel this document, that for some weeks British troops had been on the island Whether Prince Butcher and family had moved from the Manor House was not made clear.
 The popular outcry against the Prince, in the opinion of the London

NEW BELGIAN CAPITAL
 HAS RICH POSTOFFGCE.
Curio Hunters Mail Letters to Them
 selves to Get POstmark.
(By The Associated Press )


 HAVRE, Dec. 28.-The little post office in the district of Ste Ad resse, Havre, is now the most important in the world in the view of stamp cOl- lectors. It falls within the section of the city temporarily made over 70 Belgium as its capital, and as such is on Belgian soil. A letter posted there even if destined only for another part of Havre, must carry the full foreign postal rate of % centimes, or five cents.
 It is not due to the fact of Bel gian stamp being used, but to the postmark of Havre on the stamp that makes it valuable to philatellists.
 During the office hours stamp col lectors stand in line in Ste Ad resse. The greatest sale is of postcards with the embossed stamp of five centimes and one of one, making a total value of two cents. They buy the entire is- sue, which they usually stick on an envelope addressed to themselves and have them cancelled immediately at the window. But the most valuable collection is one placed on an official envelope marked and signed by the mail censor. It is thus a triple souvenir.
 If it were not for the collectors, this Belgian office would do a small busi- ness. But in view of the stamp can celled for the sake of the pOstmark, it is probably the best paying office of it's size in any part of the globe.

press generally, is unjustifed; but the Times remarks rather sarcastically that the public might be told a little more about the German company which was able to acquire so cheaply so much good farm and pasture land, together with numerous cottages, not to mention the Manor House. It also is pointed out that the island IS an the heart of the English Channel, within sight of the coast of France, about 70 miles from Portland and 40 from Cherbourg. It could be used as a submarine base, though nothing Of the kind appears to have been at tempted.

PARIS, Dec. 2S.-The chateau du Soupir, near Vailly sur Aisne, trans formed into military hospital and sheltering a number of wounded of both armies, has been bombarded ard destroyed by the Germans.

WaterwOrks and Sewerage.

The effort to excite public indigna-
tion over the Water and Sewerage
situation in Harrison just now is
but a tempest in a teapot. Our con-
dit N is little changed from what 1t
has been for many years, and we are
getting about all we are able or will
ing 70 pay for. 1t is very evident
now that our people will not stand
for a hundred thousand dollars bond
issue, and those who are really
anxious for action should see that
the only hope for action lies in a
separation Of the propositions.
BY passing the water question
over to private capital, for the
pre- ent at least, we may be able to
handle a modest sewer system with
out piling up the towns indebted
ness beyond the amount which tax
payers are willing to endorse. This
seems to be a conservative policy
which would recommend itself as
against the extremes ofthe question.
In the meantime let us remember
that we have good water service,
and that our sewerage condition is
no worse than it has been.

leave several blocks between the
