John Paul did he did to excess. He was
always biting off bigger hunks of life
than he could chew. He spent too much,
and therefore he had to earn too much
When he took cold bath it was icy,
when he took a hot one It was of a tenn
perature that would have scalded any
body else. He exercised till he was ex-
hausted, or lay on his stomach and read
until he was ditto. If he liked his food
he ate altogether too much; If he didn't
like 1t, he pulled in his belt a couple Of
holes. And of late years, whenever he
had begun TO catch up with his bills, he
went, as the saying is "way up in the
air; or, conversely when the bills gained

II was natural to him, therefore, when
he got down to telling the truth as he
knew it. that he should at first fling all
reticence to the winds and produce tales
which dwelt upon ugly truths at the ex-
pense Of truths beautiful, and, conse-
quently. losing the excellent balance be-
tween these extremes, which is life, he
succeeded only in telling lies.
The merit of these tales Cthey were
never published) existed only In their
manner and in the sincerity with which
they were written. He saw this himself

"Well, anyway" said he. I've re-

charitable people and given chance to
earn an honest living"
So saying. and having lately completed

SAYS ZEPPELIN RAID
DID HUGE DAMAGE
Norwegian Ship Reports Navy
Works at South Shields De-
stroyed and II Killed.

Berlin, June 23.-The Overseas News
Agency gave out the following to-day:
"a message from Christiania says
that the steamer Iotum. which has ar,
rived at Stavanger, reports that several
Zeppelins, on the night between Tues
day and Wednesday (probably June 10
i6j. dropped many bombs on the Arm
strong works at South Shields. Eng
land, which DESTROYED the navy yards
and arsenal. Several buildings burned
ell night. The damage was enormous.
Seventeen persons were killed and forty
injured"
The foregoing evidently refers TO
the raid of Zeppelins over the north
east coast of England last week Tues
day night. The British censorship pre-
vented the publication of details of
this raid. and there has been no pre-
vious intimation that the naval works
at Shields were damaged.

WIRELESS CODES
UNDER SUSPICION
Cabinet Members Discuss Com
plants of Messages Sent
from SayVille.

Washington, June 2'.- Secretaries
Lansing. Daniels and Rcdheld, of the
State. Navy and Commerce depart
ments respectively; Commiss oner
Chamberlain, Of the Navigation Blu
reau. and Captain Billiard, in charge Of
the naval radio service, had a long con-
ference to-day. and later Secretaries
Redfield and Daniels conferred with
President Wilson.
Reports that the wireless censorship
was about TO be lifted or new regula-
tions issued were pronounced without
foundation by Secretary Daniels. II Is
understood, however, that complaints
that messages containing military. in
formation were being transmitted TO
ships at sea through the Sayville, Long
Island, wireless station were con-
sidered, though no action was taken;
Some of the complaints have stated
that messages written in plain Ian
guage were in reality concealed codes
or carried hidden meanings.
The naval censors have orders 10
paraphrase messages so far as IS pos
sible without altering the sense. Inc
use of figures in financial and com
mercial transactions has been cited
however. as a means Of evsding the
| censorship.
