In BdItic Sea

LONDON, Sept 16.--Although Il 4
accepted In Official circles that ma
val battle has been fought in the Bal
tic, not q particle Of information con
cerning the outcome As obtainable
here. Dispatches from Petrograd
vaguely refer to the presence Of the
IQermans IN the Cult OF Finland and to
their bombardment OF unprotected
positions, but they are so badly mu-
|tiiated by the censor that their infor-
nation does not enlighten.
Naval experts here declare that they
do not believe the main Russian fleet
has been in action. They declare that
whatever lighting has taken place has
probably been between the smaller
units OF the feet, because the main
German feet would hardly attempt to
force the entrance OF the Gulf Of Fin
land, which not only has been mined,
but Is well protected from the land
with cross-fire fortresses. But this
would not prevent small German craft
attempting dash I'm the hope OF
turning out into the open the Russian
feet. which Is anchored under the pro-
lection OF the land Notifications
All OF the reports received from
scandinavian sources tell OF heavy mr.
ing In the Baltic near the Aland ISL
ands, but up to the present no disa-
bled war craft have been reported at
any point. The fact, however. that
Berlin offlcially admits part OF its Bal
tic fleet has been engaged IL consid-
cred very significant here, as 1.-THE re-
mainder OF the paragraph was elimi-
mated by the CENSOR.
Il Is now definitely known that the
German North sea feet Is being held
close to wilhelmshaven. Only the
light cruisers and the destroyer fio-
tilias are In the neighborhood OF He'll
goland. This adds strength TO the re-
port that the Baltic feet has been aug
by battle cruisers from the
North sea sent through the Kaiser
Wilhelm canal.

MONEY AND HAPPINESS.

lFE requires art, and some people say that hap
piness is the whole of it. But if happiness is an art
IL it is in many ways an illicit one
Studousy to try to be happy is to assume that one
has right to be happy and this is to disregard the warn
ings of numerous sages.
But even if it were not impiety to claim happiness it
would still be futy Happiness is matter of temper

be happy Gas we vanly judge unhappy; and thou
sands who ought by all the rules to be miserable float

IT. One case in mind mans business failed and for all
his efforts he could not get hold again The il-ck that
