WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1914.

According to astrology this is rather
an uncertain day, for. while Mars is
strongly adverse, Neptune is in bene-
fic aspect and Saturn is mildly help
full.
1t is not an suspicious time for any
enterprise which requires calm 1udg-
ment. Mars, in evil reign, is believed
to incline toward acts rash and ill
advised
While the aspect is in operation it
Is wise to be temperate in all things,
avoiding disputes and controversies
and utilizing the mental and physical
forces equally.
The confederation is an unfortunate
one for investments. Buying is sub
iect to a most unlucky rule.
It is not a favorable time for deal
ings with engineers, contractors and
ironworkers.
Shipping today is subject to the
most promising conditions, but owing
to the malevolent power of Mars cau-
tion should be exercised in all that
nertains to foreign commerce. Scan

Saturn is in a place believed to be
fairly good for dealings with shoe

dealers There is an especially for

are most promising for those to whom

The Americans retreated. but max

upon London.
The 800 warplanes which had APP

and had left but thirty-three to de-
fend London.
These refused to come out of Lon
don to offer fight and the Americans
bombarded the forts. Several of
these were captured, and it was evil

much longer.
The Americans had lost three war
planes in the attack and had de-
stroyed six of the English warplanes

twenty four warplanes.

The English in Quebec took adj

The feet in the Azores gave up the

pretense of getting his bearings by scrutnzing
the sailors about him. Presently he reports to
Sanity, who has deposited his basket of presents
the quarter deck, "Sir, see we are now in the
Cannibal isles"
Sanity begins then to pick up presents and
read the names aloud, giving them to the crew OF
Der Prosit" and the admrals wife, and even to
the admiral himself, who distributes them accord
ingly cutting many ridiculous capers.
The presents are of a type that bring laughter.

the captain is four striper he will probably get
an admirars star. unless he has some other within
by which he is more properly known. When he is
presented with this he only blush in the
presence Of everybody and take his dose, as
Sanity is supreme on Christmas day.
But the greatest gift that Sanity can bestow
falls to the lot of those who, through some mis-
fortune or slip have come in line for punishment
1t is customary for Sanity to walk boldly up to
the captain and ask him to "whitewash the
books. In the face of everybody and on Christ
day the captain can not very well refuse this
request, although some captains have been seen
to vince and cough before granting the immeas-
urable favor. The report book in which all pun
ishable acts are entered, is swept clean and the
culprits are renstated to frstclass standing and
enjoy all the privileges held by their more Tor
tunate shpmates who have not fallen before the
multiplicity of temptations that daily assail the
n-o'warsman.
The event which forms a background for all this
merriment is the regular big feed" the sail
call 1t. For the last week this has crept into
their conversation. Pie, turkey and plum duff
are the three great delicacies to the sailors and
they have respect for them than for the
three graces.
What kind of a feed is the comInissary gonna
hand us? one sailor asks of another During this
time OF anticipation excitement runs high and the
commissary Is very much respected person. In
fact he is never retired person, for his billet Is
a hard to fill to the satisfaction of every one
who eats at the general mess. There is always
some old tar other who imagnes himself to
be sighted by the quality of his food, and the
apprentice boys take from him the habit OF com
planning with very little their side.
