to understand that she could manage
| things without his advice.
Providence looks after foolish girls
as we'll as foolish men. 1t looked af
ter this one as her boat waved this way
and that, and it clouded up and the sun
got lower and lower. She would have
cut her voyage short, but for the &C.
| ton of Mr. Dayton. His was a motor
boat, and after awhile he said to him.
self:
THAT girl is going to get in trouble,
sure enough. I'll pull up the anchor
and drift down, so I'll be closer at
hand when l am needed
The girl looked back after a while
and saw what he was up to and said
to herself:
"Oh-oh! He is getting ready to
play the rescuer and hero, is he? Well,
/ shall disappoint him."
BY the time she was ready to turn
back the wind had increased three
fold She had seen her brother bring
the boat about, but had not mastered
the trick herself She must try it,
however. With prayer that it might
be success, she moved the tiiler over,
and the next moment the craft was
keeling over and she was screaming for
help. The man in the motor boat
was not far away, and within two
minutes he was busy righting her
boat and making it fast for a tow,
and then he turned to her to be
greeted with:
81 suppose you are glad it hap
pened?'
ut was silly thing for you to do,
knowing nothing of the management
of sailboat!" he slowly answered
But you know all about it, was
fired at him.
81 have run sailboat for years"
did you begin as soon as you were
weaned?"
It was a long time before he spoke
again, and then he said:
There is shooting jacket on the
seat beside you. If you feel chilly
put it on. I will get you home as soon
as possible"
She opened her lips to say some
thing, but just then the engine OF the
motor boat went dead" Mr.. Dayton
gave expression to his feelings OF
establishment, and thereby gave away
the fact he wasn't much acquainted
with motor boats and their way of
stopping to rest every few minutes.
What is it," asked Miss Blythe.
Engine out of order!'
1T was very silly of you to come
out in this boat!'
They were running in close to Cat
island and unheeding the taunt, he got
out an oar and brought the craft to
land and began an inspection. When
he had worked in vain for half an hour
he rose to ease his aching back and
said:
I'm not electrician enough to re-
pair it,
Then there are men smarter than
you!" chuckled the girl.
PLENTY of them!"
81 thought there couldn't be. Well,
what are we going to do?"
"Will anybody come after you?,
Father or Fred may come about
midnight, but am not sure of 1t.
eve can't use either to get away.

New York, Dec. 20.-The News York Times has received the follow ing authorized statement by wireless from Berlin:
 .The German government naturally has never knowingly accepted the support of any person, group of per sons, society or organization seeking to promote the cause of Germany in the United States by illegal acts, by counsels of violence. by contravention of law, or by any means whatever that could offend the American people in the pride of their own authority.

 SALONiII INEVITABLE
Highest Greek Military Authorities Not Worried Over Austro-
 German Threat.

Saloniki, Dec. 19, 6 D. m., via Paris Dec. 20, $40 a. m.--The highest Greek military authorities declare it to be their belief that an Austro-Ger- man attack on Saloniki is inevitable. The Greek general staff will quit Sa- loniki tomorrow. The last remaining Greek troops, save one infantry fegi-' ment, have been transferred to Ko- zani. The entente allies have orderedI evacuation of several villages around Saloniki by civilians for military req sons.
 The parliamentary elections todsyl passed quietly. A mere handful ofI voters were out, making the extra ordinary precautions against demonJ strations appear needless. The nsws-| papers supporting M.

with. To any complaints upon proof as may be submitted by the American government suitable response will be duly made.
 "As is well known, the means of communication between Germany and the United States are very unsatis- factory. 1t is practically impossible for the German government to keep itself in touch with American senti- ment; it has often to depend upon the foreign press for information concern ing American affairs.
 Great Stroke for Enemies.
 Apparently the enemies of Ger" many have succeeded in creating the impression that the German govern ment is in some way, morally or otherwise, responsible for what MT. Wilson has characterized as anti American activities, comprehending attacks upon property and violations of the rules which the American gov ernment has seen fit to impose upon the course of neutral trade.
 This the German government ab- solutely denies. It cannot specifically repudiate acts committed by individ- ,Ials over whom it has no control, and of whose movements and intentions it is neither officially nor unofficially in- formed. It can only say, and does most emphatically declare to Ger mans abroad to German-American citizens of the United States, to the American people, all alike, that who ever is guilty of conduct tending to associate the German cause with lawlessness of thought, suggestion, or
New Britain herald., 1915-12-20

deed against life, property and order in the United States is in fact an en- emy of that very cause, and a source of embarrassment to the German gov ernment, notwithstanding anything he or they may believe to the contrafy."
New Britain herald., 1915-12-20

Sufficient Evidence.
 "Now if the customs returns of Nor way, Sweden and Denmark shows that imports from the United States have decreased since the war, while the official returns of the United States department of commerce show on the other hand that they have enormously increased, it seems legitimate, in the absence of any other explanation, to assume that the United States figures represent the amount of goods shipped from the United States to. the Scandi- navian countries and that the customs figures of the Scandinavian countries represent that proportion of the goods | exported from the United States which, on arrival in the Scandinavian 1 countries, were reshipped largely to Germany The fact that the increase 1 in shipments from New York to Nor. way, Sweden and Denmark during the first thirteen months of the war | exactly balances the decrease in ship
 ments to Germany during the same l period is extremely significant.
 "The figures quoted above from the l official reports of the department of
 commerce conclusively prove that the l oxnort trade of the United States has
 not suffered from the inevitable re-
 strictions on neutral commerce deriv. inc from the state of war, and that | there is no vestige Of foundation fol | the measures necessitated that Grea | Britain has taken advantage of wal 1 conditions and of the measures neces

 This season the E. A. c. has played a short schedule owing to the fact that the public preferred buying things to eat to attending basketball games. The record of the team is five victories to three defeats. A defeat tonight will still leave the B. A. c. with a record of more victories than losses, which is considered excellent locally as Doc Glow had some very mediocre material to build team with. However. the B. A. C.'s will win tonight if they play the class of bas- ketball displayed against the University of Alabama last Monday night
 In addition to being contenders for the southern championship the B. A. c. cleaned up on the city championship se- ries with ease by trimming the proteges of 7.
