In the Vosges We repulsed three attacks, one on the northern bank of La Fecht and two on the southern bank. The fighting contin- ues."

Sydney Smith on War.

Sydney Smith found humor in most things, but none in war In the Edin- burgh Review of century ago he wrote: If three men were to have their legs and arms broken and were to remain all night exposed to the in clemency of the weather the whole country would be in state of the most dreadful agitation! Look at the wholesale death of a battlefield-ten acres covered with dead and dying, and the shrieks and agonies of many thou sand human beings! There is more misery inflicted upon mankind by one year of war than by all the civil pecu- lations and expressions of a century, And he added that it was the business of wise and good men to set themselves against the spirit that produced wars "this passion for military glory"

FEAR MASSACRES BY INDIANS
Surround Posse of Fifty Men Near Bluff, Utah-Defending Tribesman
 Who Is Wanted For Murder.

A fight between United States Mar shal Aquila Nebeker. with his posse of fifty men, and a band of Piute Indians. who are harboring a young brave. Tse- Cat, wanted for murder. is the first conflict between white men and redskins since the fight at Wounded Knee in 1892.
 Fought in a wild defile of the Rock ies not far from Bluff, Utah, few miles beyond the Colorado state line. the skirmish has resulted in the death of Joe Aiken and San Juan Billings. two of the best known cowboys of the Four Corners country. Others of the posse have been wounded, and as Tse- Na-Gats friends are being joined by other we'll armed Flutes the people in Bluff have considered the possibility of a general massacre. Something of the sort would undoubtedly occur if the marshal and his men were overcome. The white men have been surrounded.

BRITAIN ANSWERS U. s.
Contend That American Trade With Europe Isn't Suffering on Account
 of EngIand's Policies.

The text of the British supple. mentary note in reply to the protest of the United States last December against British interference with neu- tral trade for the most part is taken up with demonstration of the Brit. ish contention that American trade with Europe is not suffering on ac- count of any policy of the British gov ernment in its exercise of control Of the seas.
 The American note protested against the British action in treating food stuffs not consigned to :he armed forces of the enemy as contraband particularly when such carGOes were consigned to ports of neutral coun- tries. To this the British reply that "an elaborate machinery has been or ganized by the enemy for supply of foodstuffs for the use of the German army from overseas.
 Great Britain's reply to the United States protest in regards to the use of the American flag was not regarded in Washington as altering the original warning of the United States against the measure of responsibility which would seem to be imposed on England if any American vessels or lives were lost as a result of such general practice. although the denial of any intention to make frequent use of the neutral ensign was reassuring to officials.

Tried to Convert the Sultan.

The first Englishwoman to have speech with a sultan of Turkey was Mary Fisher. QuakercSS. who, in 1857, undertook to convert the com mander of the faithful to Christianity. She travelled by water to Smyrna and then tramped to Adrianople, about eco miles away. where MOhammed ". was encamped with his army. After many attempts. Mary found some one bold enough to tell the grand viZier that ''a woman was come who had something to declare from the great God to the sultan" He arranged for an audience with his master, at which three dragO- mans were in attendance as interprc ters, and Mohammed was so impressed with what he heard that, while unwill ing to become a Christian. he desired that Mary should stay in his dOmin ions. When she insisted on returning, he offered her an escort, adding. ''l would not for anything that you should come to the least hurt" She got back safely to England and was honored ever after among her fellow QuakerS as ''she that spake to the Grand Turk.

Russians Like "Paradise Lost"


 How many English soldiers. one wonders, have read Paradise LOSt?' MT. Maurice Barring, when in Russia, found that nearly every soldier he met knew it well. "When q few years age schoolmaster in the Tambor govern ment told me that Paradise Lost was the most popular book in the village li- brary," he writes, Il was astonished and thought it an isolated instance. At a fair in Moscow during passion week I noticed that there were five or six different editions of transla- tions of Milton's poem. with illustra- tions, ranging in price from 12 rubles to 30 kopeks, and while I was looking at one of them moujik came up tC
 me and advised me to buy it. It's very interesting he said. It makes one laugh and cry It is possible to purchase Paradise Lost at almost every village booth. h."-LondOn Graphic

EVELYN CASE DELAYS

American Consul Fee at Bremen was cabled explicit orders from the state department to undertake d thorough and complete investigation of the sink ing of the American vessel Evelyn oll the German coast and report at the earliest possible moment. No further details have been received in Wash ingtJn concerning the disaster. It k not positively known whether the Evelyn waS blown up by mine or a torpedo.
 Owing to the extremely delicate sit uation developed the state department. it has just hc .ome known. will not send an answer to the latest German note at present. This decision. il K um derStood. waS reached after confer ence between President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. The same attitude k to be taken in respect to the English note concerning the use of the Amcri can flag
 Germany may not be held to strict accountability" for destruction of the Evelyn at Borkum. Practically the en, tire redress will be civil proceedings by the vessels owners against Germany If it can be proved when the war k over that Germans placed the destroy ing mine.
 Secretary Bryan sent a message to the American embassies at London and Berlin with instructions that every possible care be taken of the crew and to ascertain and report to Wash ington all the facts obtuinable in the case.
 Borkum. where the disaster oc cured. is one of n chain of islands just southwest of the mouth of the Weser river on which is the port of Bremen. These islands are strongly fortified and form part of the coast defenses and naval bases of Germany in connection with Wilhelmshaven.
 The harbors of all the belligcrentS are understood to have been mined and the maritime world has been in. i formed under what conditions the ports of these countries may be entered by merchant vessels.
 The statement of Captain Smith of the Evelyn as to what courSt he took prior to the destruction of his vessel is awaited in Washington with great in terest.

To Remove Adhesive PIasters.

Every one who has had occasion to use adhesive plaster is familiar with the line of adherent, discolored mate rial that is left on the skin around the edges of the plaster when the strip is removed. This adherent substance re sists scrubbing with soap and all ordi- nary means of removal. Even scrap ing with knife fails to remove the grime and stickiness completely. But a few drops of gasoline, benzine, ether or chloroform on a piece of cloth will remove the stain as if by magic. The basis of adhesive plaster is rubber, and the four substances mentioned are rub Der solvents-Los Angeles News.
