London, Nov 28.-Three more Brit
fsh vessels were sunk by the Germans,
following the blowing up of the bat
tie ship Bulwark by some mysterious
means, and the alarm of the British
public has grown greatly.
The British admiralty announces
| that the collier KhartOum had been
| blown up by a mine off Grimsby, at
the mouth of the Humber. Hardly
! had this announcement been made
when Lloyd's reported that the British
| steamers Malachite and Primo had
been blown up and sunk by German
submarines off the coast of France.
The Khartoum's crew all was saved
and landed at Grimsby. The vessel
was a valuable one used by the navy.
The fate of the crews of the other
| two steamers is not known.

| admiralty theory that it was blown
UP by an internal explosion more and
more plausible. An official inquiry was
| opened at Sheerness this morning
It is believed that the explosion

British Losses Small.
| Ion7nn, Nov. 28.-That the losses to

been as great as was anticipated since
| the opening of the war was the assnr-
ton of Winston Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, in the house Of com,
mons this afternoon.
| Churchill said he had expected a 5

| been only 80 per cent. Churchill de.
clared that the British fleet would be
| increased by fifteen war ships by the

Stays at Home Now.

No amount of persuasion or punish ment could keep Johnnie from running away. The excitement of being pursu ed and of being brought back to tear ful family appealed to his sense of the dramatic and offset the slight discom fort that sometimes follows.
 Finally his mother determined upon a new method. She decided after many misg1vings, that the next time Johnnie ran away no notice whatever should be taken of it. He should stay away as long as he pleased and retur n when he saw fit.
 In few days the youngster agaiu disappeared. His mother was firm in her resolve and no search was made. Great was poor JohnnIe's disappoint. ment. He managed to stay all day but when it began to grow dark his courage failed aud he started for home. He sneaked Ignominiously ip to the kitchen. Nobody spoke to him. Apparently his absence had not been noticed. This was too much. As soon as opportunity offered he remarked casually: "Well, 1 sec you've got the same old cat. ."- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

There are charity societies, as all the world knows. that only give to the poor a quarter or half cent of every dollar they take in, most of their subscriptions going for salaries to officers and investi- gators for expensive rentals etc.
 Richard March the charity expert of Denver, was condemDing these chari- ties. He said
 "A mans wife shouted up to him the other day:
 Don't you think this blue overcoat with the strappedin back is too new and fashionable, George, to give away"
 "It's the agent Of the Alpha Incor- porated Charities that's Ut the door, isn't it?'
 "Yes dear ''
 Then let the coat go." said George. It'll be old enough and old-fashIoned enough before it gets to the poor dub that is shivering for it now. "-Chicago Record Herald.

The average due each de. positor was S494.35. an increase of Sl.S5 per head over the year before.
 On the basis of population, as figured out by the State Board of Health. the sayings banks have an equivalent of about S260 on deposit for each person in Connections.
 That the working people of the state save money is further shown by the fact that 52S.30l persons have deposits of less than $10o0 each, an increase for the year of 13. .o20, while their depos total $l07. .803. .205, an increase of B. 409, ,45s.
