Hungry Mans Mistake.

Prof. Sigmond Freud, the eminent

lingual blunders, spoken and printed.
and has embodied the result in his

ample of laundering speech, caused by
subconscious cerebration, he gives the
following:
"a wealthy, but not very generous
American host. invited his friends to
an evening party. Everything went
we'll until about midnight, when there
was an intermission for supper. To the
disappointment of many of the guests.
there was no real supper; instead,
they were RECALLED with thin sand
wiches and lemonade.
CAS- it was during presidential
campaign, the conversation turned up
on the different candidates, and as the
discussion grew warmer, one of the
guests, an ardent Progressive, re-
marked to the host, You may say what
you please about Roosevelt, but there
is one thing he can always be relied
upon to do; he always gives you a
square meal He meant, of course, to
say a. square deal The assembled
guests burst into a roar of laughter,

WASHINGTON HEARS THE
CAR SEEKS PEACE
Death as Special Envoy to
Kaiser, is Report.

Washington, March 30.-The state
department has received authoritative
information that Count White, EXPIRE
mier of Russia, was in Berlin negoti-
ating peace with Germany prior to
his sudden death
The negotiations interrupted by the
decease of the great Russian peace
statesman will be taken up anew by
another representative of the car
When this will be done is not
known, but the Berlin government ali
along has realized that if it is to win
in the great contest under way it
can be only through the detachment of
of Russia from France and Great Brit
ain
Indeed, the diplomatic plans of the
German foreign Office contemplate also
the withdrawal of France from the
war and consequent isolation of Great
Britain.
The car and White were for peace
with Germany. The party of Grand
Duke Nicholas is for a continuance of
the war with the allies. This party
is the military party, and if its aims
are thwarted there will be danger of
a revolution in the great Slav empire
and the overthrow of the present en-
peror.
Exactly what terms Germany was
willing to offer Russia as the price of
withdrawal from the struggle, repre-
sentative of the United States have
not been able to ascertain.
1t is assumed the kaiser's govern
ment would agree to the reconstitu-
ton of the Independent kingdom of
Poland. Undoubtedly also it would
aid Russia in acquiring free access to
the Mediterranean by means of con-
cessions to Turkey.
The Germans had everything to gain
and nothing to lose by peace negotia-
lions with Russia. If the negotia-
tons were successful. then a great
step toward German victory would be
achieved

GERMAN SUBMARINES SINK
TWO BRITISH STEAMSHIPS
sons Perish-ExpIosiVe Hurled at
Steamer Before Boats Launched.

London, March 31.-Reports official
ly confirmed by the admiralty state
that two British liners have been tor
pedoed and sunk by German subma-
rines and a Dutch steamer sent to the
bottom in a German mine field. OF
the passengers and crews of the two
liners 1873 persons are missing. The
crew of the Dutch steamer was saved.
One of the German raiders was rec
ognized as the U-28.
The African liner Falaba, carrying
40 passengers, was torpedoed and
sunk off Milfordhaven, the admiralty
announced on Monday. She is the first
big passenger-carrying liner to fall
victim to German submarine at
tacks
Dispatches to her owners indicated
that the death list of the African liner
Falaba may amount to above 100, in
Guiding more than forty passengers
A telegram from Cardiff said that 62
first-class and "a second-class passen-
gers have been saved and that moth
ing is known of the fate of nearly
fifty more passengers. Only forty-slX
members of the Falabas crew of near
" 12O have been landed at Cardiff.
Several of the liners crew were
killed by the explosion that wrecked
her engine-room. 1t was now believed
that other boatloads of passengers and
crew were thrown into the water by
the capsizing of their boats and went
to the bottom.
Thirteen men of the crew or the
Liverpool steamer Aguila were killed
or drowned when the Aguila was tor
pedoed off Bishop islands, according
to dispatch received here from
Fishguard.
The submarine commander gave
the crew four minutes in which TO
leave the ship, but shot torpedo
while the boats were being put over
the sides. The chief engineer and the
boatswain were instantly killed by the
explosion and II others were killed
outright or were thrown into the wa
ter and drowned.

HIGH STANDARD OF WRITING
Professor Pays a Tribute to Newspa.
per English, Which Is on the
Whole Deserved.

i well remember the pleasure With
which. as young man, l heard my
venerable and practiced professor of
rhetoric say that he supposed there
was no work known to man more diff
ficult than writing" said Prof. George
H. Palmer, formerly of Harvard uni
versity. up to that time ] had sup
posed its seventies peculiar to my
self. He goes on to recount the ad-
vantages which children of today en-
joy over those of his own generation.
and hopes that some of them will find
the language he has used about the
difficulty of writing extravagant. Then
he says:
Let me say, too that since frequen-
cy has more to do with ease of writing
than anything else. T count the newspa-
per men lucky because they are writ
ing all the time, and do not think so
meanly of their product as the present
popular disparagement would seem to
require. 1t is hasty work, undoubted-
ly, and bears the marks OF haste. But
in my judgment in no period of the
English language has there been so
high an average of sensible vivacious
and informing sentences written as
appears in our daily press.
with both good and evil results.
the distinction between book literature
and speech literature is breaking
down. Everybody is writing, appar-
emily in verse and prose; and if the
higher graces of style do not often
appear, neither on the other hand do
the ruder awkwardness and obscur-
tiles. A certain straightforward Eng
lish is becoming established. A whole
nation is learning the use of its mother
tongue. Under such circumstances it
is doubly necessary that anyone who
is conscious of feebleness in his COM
mand of English should promptly and
earnestly begin the cultivation of 1t.

U. S. Says Company Is Unduly Re-

Washington, March 31.-"The Har-

DARDANELLES DEFENSE SAFE
German Military Commander of Turk
ish Forces at Constantinople
Says New Attack on Forts
Is Awaited Without Fear

London, April 1.-Germany's next
move in the military field-because
some stroke either in the East or
West is expected before the allies at
tempt their spring advance = is at
present the chief subject of specuIa-
ton and conjecture
According to reports reaching here
from Petrograd the German emperor
is now at Berlin holding a war council
with Field Marshal Won der Goltz, the
German military commander of Con-
stantinople, and other leaders, and is
planning a new campaign to offset
the fall of Przemysl and to meet the
situation in the DardaneIles.
There has been nothing of an out
standing nature in either theater OF
the land operations since the surren-
der of the Austrian fortress. Fight
ing, fierce but indecisive, is raging in
the Carpathians and there has been
a succession of battles in northern
Poland in which both sides claim to
have been victorious.
The official German statement of
Tuesday asserts that 1000 Russians
were killed and 5000 captured in an
engagement at Krasnopol. In the
German occupation of Tauroggen, it
is claimed that 1000 prisoners were
taken Russian attacks at other
points are said to have been repulsed.
The latest statement from the Pet
rograd war Office is that the German
offensive movement in this region has
been checked
The Austrians admit the Russians
have assumed a vigorous offensive in
the Carpathians, but insist all their
attacks have been repulsed.
One hundred and sixty thousand
Germans have arrived in Austria, ac-
cording to a Berne cable to the Lon
don Post. These have been sent to
Cracow and the Carpathians to help
repeI the Russians.
The Austrians have improved their
advantage of having forced the Rus
slams to withdraw from Bukowina, for
in an advance from CZernowitz the
Russians admit the Austrians crossed
the Russian frontier and advanced
half way to Chotin. Already the Rus
slams are sending troops to that Sec
ton to repel the invaders.

When Sailors Wore Pettieoats.

Very few people realize that there
was a day when petticoats were worn
by soldiers and sailors on board ships
of war. In the days before the royal
marines were regularly established as
a separate corps the foot regiments of
the line used to take it in turns to
coats were quite commonly worn in
the navy in Nelson's time. having been
in vogue there since the days of Queen
Elizabeth, and our soldiers, being sud-
denly called upon to do the work OF
sailors, naturally adopted their dress.
finding it, no doubt, far handler and
more convenient than their own tight
fitting, frogged and braided uniforms.
