P. H. Gale of the Netherlands me-
neurological institute, has apparently
established an interesting relationship
between variations in the strength of
the northeast trade winds and fluctua-
tions in water level in the North and
Baltic seas. Means derived from the
readings of tide guages on the shores
Of these seas show an annual period
in water level, with u maximum in au-
tumn and minimum in spring, the
range being seven inches. These vari-
atoms, according to the Scientific
American. may depend npon variations
in the strength Of the north Atlantic
current. or gulf stream drift, which,
in turn. depends upon the strength OF
the gulf stream. while the. latter ap-

Under what circumstances Germany

OF the activity of German Americans in
this country in behalf of the prohibitory
legislation. has not been made clear
The state Department will make pub
lie, probably tomorrow. the German
statement making known the attitude OF
the Berlin Government toward the Bar

Representative Bartholdt replied that he
was not advised of the attitude Of the
German Government and that h" and his
associates favored the legislation on high
moral grounds.
Chairman Flood continued: II sand
that they lGermanyl realize and so state
that they do not expect this Government
to pass such prohibtory legislation
The chairman further declared that

The Department has found that not
more than 700 Of these bullets have left

Chairman Flood
Representative Bartholdt startled the
committee wh'n he asserted as a fact that
Canadian troops en- route to England had
passed through n part Of the State Of

Mr.. Bartholdt to task for making such a
statement.
MI BaItholdt finally said that ne mad

that the United States Is actually waging
