DIARY OF FATHER TIME

DIARY OF FATHER TIME
December, in the old Roman calen-
dar, was the tenth month, getting its
name from the Latin deem, meaning
ten. Then an agitation, hotter than
the present Mexican question, was
started, to get more months. This
was during the time of Lucullus and
was the cause of all the trouble be-
tween Rome and Mithradates the
Great. LucuIlus was peeved at the
way Mithradates became dictator of
Phrygia and refused to recognize
him, like Pres. Wilson is refusing to
recognize Huerta. Mithradates then
called an election causing himself to
be elected. Then the Greeks began
to laugh at Lucullus and he told
Mithradates he would either have to
resign or face a war with the Ro-
mans.
Mithradates promised to resign but
kept putting it off ON every possible
pretext and Lucullus hesitated to OPP
pose the small country with the
strength of the Romans. Finally, as
last resort, to further postpone his
resignation, Mithradates added two
more months to the calendar and the
whole world laughed. LucuIlus got
so touchy about it that whenever he
gave one of his celebrated Lucullan
banquets, he always banished from
the table anyone who laughed be-
tween jokes or seemed to be amused
at anything on the side. Mithradates
finally brought the affair to a crisis
when he demanded that LucuIlus re-
sign, then took to the woods. Every
one laughed, even Luculfus.

London, Sept. 24.-The British ad-
miralty has issued a formal reply
to the statement given publicity by
the German minister at Copenhagen
| to the effect that British officers
fired on drowning German sailors
after the naval engagement of Hell
goland, and that a British shell was
thrown into a boat containing Ger
man survivors of this fight.
The admiralty admits the charge
that the shell was thrown. but ex-
plains the circumstances as follows:
Every effort was made to save
life until German cruiser of the
Stettin class appeared on the scene
and opened heavy fire on the Brit
ish destroyers and their small boats.
The destroyers were forced to retire
in order to avoid destruction. The
Goshawk run her men from her boat
leaving it to German prisoners,
nearly all of whom were wounded.
1t is to be regretted that a blue
jacket on the forecastle of the Gosh
Fawk exasperated at the inhuman
conduct of the German cruiser. threw
d pIoJeCllIe, WHICH, II IS Hol pOSSiUle
under the circumstances, exploded
in the small boat as it drifted past
his ship.
There is no doubt this is the in
cident referred to by the German
minister at Copenhagen
It cannot be defended, but the act
was done under considerable provo
cation, and 1t was surely a trivial
offensive compared to that of the
German cruiser. which fired many
shells at the boats of British destroy
ers while they were engaged in hu-
man and chivalrous action.
Dealing with the rescue bv the
British submarine E-H-4 on the oc
cupants of two boats which the de-
stroyer defender had been Obliged to
abandon under heavy fire, the ad-
miralty says:
After covering the retreat Of the
destroyer the submarine returned to
the boats and removed the British Of
ficers and men and three Germans.

wounded Germans. he finally left the
German officer and men who were
not hurt to care for them and navi-
gate the boats. Before leaving the
submarine saw that these boats were
provided with water and victuals and
compass and It gave the German Of
ficer their position and the course
to Helgoland. The officers and men
of the destroyer defender stripped
themselves of everything but thei,

serve AZ bandages foi the wounded
,Germans."
! Regarding the allegations that
British sailors fired at German sail
ors who were in the water the ad-
nnralty says there are many British
naval officers and men who actually
saw the officers of the German cruis-
ers Mainz and Koenigen Luise fire at
their own men in the water, presum-
ably because they thought the sailors
were prematurely deserting their
hosts.
| There are many men in our hos
Ipitals," the admiralty continues.
.whose wounds testify to the accu-
racy of the German officers fire. Out
of the $50 men saved from the MatnZ
about $50 were picked up swimming
in the water. Many of them had
been wounded by revolver bullets.
The remaining 900 could not he in
duced to jump overheard. They were
taken off by a destroyer, which laid
alongside Just before the Mainz went
down.
! Berlin, Sept. 81 tvia wireless to
Sayville, l.. ID.-The official an
nouncement issued yesterday by the
Headquarters of the German army
says that German heavy artillery Is
successfully boambarding Troyon Les
Parouche and Liourville.
| The German submarine t-9, in
charge of Lieutenant Commander
Weddigen escaped unhurt after the
sinking of the British cruisers Abou-
kir, Cressy and Hosue. in the North
sea. All the members Of the crew Of
this submarine have been decorated
with the order of the Iron Cross.
The Wolff Bureau. the semi-offi-
cial news agency, has published a
statement giving details of an al
llesed outrage committed by military
bicyclists on wounded German sold
liers in Red Cross motor cars near
Betnencourt. Only two men sue
ceeded in making their escape and
this in spite of their wounds. while
the remainder were killed by the bi-
cyclists, who then robbed the corps
es. Tie German press says this is
another proof of the barbarous treat
ment of wounded Germans at the
hands of the French.

AN EASY WAY TO GET
FAT AND BE STRONG

The trouble with most thin folks
who wish to gain weight is that they
insist on drugging their stomach or
stuffing 1t with greasy foods; rub
bing on useless flesh creams or
following some foolish physical cult
ure stunt, while the real cause Of
thinness goes untouched. You can
not get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks TO a remarkable new sci
entific discovery. it is now possible
to combine into simple form the very
elements needed by the digestive or
rich, fat-laden blood. This master
stroke of modern chemistry is called
Sargol and has been termed the
greatest OF flesh-bu ilders. Sargol
aims through its re-generative, re-
constructive powers to coax the stom-
ach and intestines to literally soak
up the fattening elements of your
food and pass them into the blood,
where they are carried to every
starved. broken-down cell and tissue
of your body. You can readily pict-
ure the result when this amazing
transformation has taken place and
you notice how your cheeks fill out,
hollows about your neck, shoulders
and bust disappear and You take on
from 10 to 20 pounds of solid,
healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely
harmless, inexpensive, efficient. The
Hausman Drug Co. and other lead
ing druggists of Trinidad and viz a.
ity have it and will refund Your
per the guarantee found in every
package.
Caution:-While Sargol has given
excellent results in overcoming ner-
vous dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles 1t should not be taken by
those who do not wish to gain ten
pounds or more.
London. Sept. 24.-It is announced
officially from The Hague that the
British survivors of the cruisers
Aboukir. Cressy and Hogue. lost in
the North sea. <who are at present
being held by The Netherlands gov
ernment. will be released and sent
home Their interment is contrary
to The Hague convention.
London, Sept. 24.-The German
cruiser Emden, which has been op-
Grating in the Bay of Bengal, fur
nisned another diversion to the Brit
ish public by sudden descent Tues
day evening on Madras and brief
of that port.
The damage done by the Emsden
fire ia said to be small and confined
to a few sheds along the harbor
front. Three Indians are reported
killed and the Indian liner Chupra
was slightly damaged by a shell.
After this attack the Emsden left
in the direction OF Pordicherry.
where the French are said to be
awaiting her.

FACTORY LAWS HIT BERLIN
Buildings Condemned and Industries
Move Away

Move Away
Berlin has been hard hit as a re-
suit OF the new factory laws. The
people who worked in the shirt shop
and laundry are all thrown out of EN-
ployment by the removal of the plant
to Greenwich. The spool factory is
shut down, and nothing seems to be
left in the town but the gladioIus
fields.
The employers of the plants at Ber-
lin, after being interviewed by the
factory inspectors, decided that they
would rather move their business to
some other place, it is said, than try
to remodel the old buildings to com
ply with the law. The buildings were
of ancient construction, and would
have to be practically built anew
The Shirt shop and laundry, which
are branches of a Troy concern, viii
be installed, it is understood, at
Greenwich. What disposition will be
made OF the other industries is not at
present known, although it is under
stood that operations will not again
be resumed in the old buildings.
Residents of Berlin are in a guam
dairy as to how they are going TO make
a living now with all the industries
closed indefinitely in the village.
Even those who own their homes are
at loss TO figure out how they are to
subsist with no work and consequent
~ no income.
II has been suggested that the cti-
zens club together and build a mod
ern factory building with view OF
inducing some manufacturer to To-
cate in the village, and several other
propositions have been considered in
an effort to furnish employment for
the people who have been used to
working, and are thrifty. Berlin is
considered an admirable place for
manufacturing and any employer OF
labor would be assured of good and
reliable help at all seasons OF the
year If present conditions continue
it is feared Berlin real estate will de
preciate in value. and many of the
residents will be Obliged TO move
away from the village and seek other
fields wherein TO earn livelihood.
