TIE CHICAGO OF SCOTLAND
It Is the Fashion Among Tourists to
 Snub Glasgow

Glasgow is our doorway to loch Hand. It is the destination of the ocean liners that ply between Scotland and Amer ica: and it is the most conveniently sit uated large city to use as traveller s base Though it's backgrounds are less picturesque and romantic than those of Edinburgh, 1t is nearer than the capital is to the Great Glen,' to the lochs of the Trossachs, to Ayr and to Stirling. For at least half of his time the tour ist will find himself shuttling in and out of Glasgow. He will spend a num- Der of evenings there, long summer eve nings when the daylight does not dim until 9 o'clock, and he will find himself, once in a while, killing time there on rainy day. So this chapter is one of suggestions about how to alleviate en- hui in a city which most tourists af- feet to Snub.

INDIANS EAT GRkssHoPPERS
Only Swarms of Insects Keep Diggers
 From Starvation

Willows. Cal.-Sixty Digger Indians in Grindstone Canyon. about thirty five miles from Willows. in the Coast Range Mountains. have nothing but swarms of grasshoppers and the gener- osity of the people of Glenn County be- tween them and starvation. according to reports brought to this city by hunt CTS and campers.
 The members of the tribe, the mejor- ity of which are very old live in one of the widest canyons in the Coast Range, where little can be grown. Most of the men and women are too old to work or hunt and almost all of the families are destitute. Grasshoppers now form the chief food. Digger Indians for centuries have eaten grasshoppers through choice. Now. in Grindstone Canyon, they are being eaten to stave off star vation From the Sacramento Bee.

Early Birds Are Dragged Out Fowls Feed Under Street Light At 3a. m.

But ther was an element of danger in this that the chickens had not per ceived. Many automobiles passed at a night rate of speed during the evening hours and the process of bug hunting was interfered with, and the chickens lives placed in jeopardy. A bright idea struck the poultryman-why not let the chickens do their feeding in the early hours of the morning. At three o'clock there was no traffic, save an occasional milk wagon, or the rumbling sprinkling cart. It was also much cooler than in the early part of the night.
 ton. Chickens are known to be light sleepers, but are not given to getting up when disturbed. A friend who was both an electrician and a carpenter was consulted. He suggested a collapsible roost and an alarm clock, and these were forthwith installed. At two o'clock in the morning a lusty alarm clock fairly torpedoes the chicken coop and at the same time releases an arrange ment that throws the chickens off the roost onto the ground. An electric light, connected with the clock is switched on. and the chickens find their way to the outside and to the rich feed ing ground under the arc light.
 All of which goes to prove that the great white way has an attraction for chickens. even in Arizona.

THREE GREAT NEEDS

Whoever studies the events of the past year with some Knowledge of political philosophy and history. and with the love of his neighbor in his heart. will discover, amid the hor- TOTS of the time and its moral chaos, three hopeful leadings for humanitar- ian effort each involving a great constructive invention. He will see that humanity needs supremely a sanction for international law. rescue from alcoholism. and a sound basis for just and unselfish human rela- tions in the great industries. and particularly in the machinery indus tries. The war has brought out all three of these needs with terrible force and viVidness. Somehow they must be met. if the white race is to succeed in the pursuit of happiness" or even to hold the gains already made.-From letter from Dr. Charles w. Eliot to the New York Times

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
 JAP--GERMAN BROKEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHI

TOXIC. Aug. 19-The supreme court of Japan has ruled that, as d result of the war between Japan and Germany, the international conven- tion for the protection of industrial property is suspended in its opera tion. The practical effect of the de- cision is that trademark rights. pat ent rights and other industrial de- sign rights held by German subjects or German companies previous to the opening of the war are to be con- sidered as eXtinguished or suspended in their effect for the time being
 The general question at issue was brought before the courts by a Jap anese demand for judgment declaring invalid the registration of a trade mark pending between a Japanese company and the local managers and representatives of an industrial com pany at Hanover. Germany. The pat ent office of Japan decided in favor of the Germans, but the high court has quashed that ruling.
 The court pointed out that the convention for the protection of in dustrial property which was made in 1913 cannot be said to become abso- lutely and permanently imperative
 
 between Japan and Germany. It not ed that several other powers are par ties to this convention. However, as between Japan and Germany it was proper to think that the convention is suspended in it's operation from the time when war broke out bet ween them uutil such time as peace shall have been restored.
 The court found no doubt whatso- ever that the treaty was concluded only on the premise of the existence of relations of peaceful intercourse between the contracting parties.
 The court says: "Of course, even the people of hostile power should not be unreasonably treated On the contrary. as already declared by the Japanese government they should be treated and protected according to the dictates of justice and humanity. At the same time there is no reason whatever why they should be more favorably treated and more consid erately treated than a friendly na- tion not a party to the convention"
 The judgment of the supreme court is interpreted permitting the pub lie to make a free use of trademarks and patent rights regardless of any rights held by German subjects or German companies previous to the war.

SEARCH FOR BODY HAS BEEN GIVEN UP
Especial to The Republican0

ROOSEVELT, Aug. 19.-The body of young Birkenmeier, drowned mys- teriously in Lake Roosevelt last Sun day had not been found today, and the search for it has been given up. Although dynamite and grapnels were employed soon after the drowning, the body could not be located. The authorities are at loss to account for the failure to find the remains.
 Birkenmeier is now thought to have been seized with. a cramp, within few seconds after he entered the wa ter for a swim at the foot of the hotel landing
 He was within ten feet of shore when he sank. and though boats went to the spot at once, no trace of him could be found.

The ature-faking jitney driver who swore that he had seen a turkey catch ing bugs under an electric arc light late at night has been vindicated. A re- porter for The Republican, who WendS his way home about three o'clock every morning has come to his defense For, on Tuesday morning at the corner of Adams street and Tenth avenue he saw a flock of chickens catching beetles under the street light. He looked at his watch. It was three o'clock.
 The reporter will go even farther He Is willing to make affidavit that there were five chickens. and that they were of the White Leghorn variety. How they ever came to arise at such an early hour, two hours before their us- ual time for turning out, interested him and he made inquiries in the neighbor- hood. Then the strangest feature of the story came out. .
 The owner of the flock had observed that the chickens did not have much ambition in the day time. They ap- peared sleepy and would scarcely taste food. Suspicious. he watched their movements, and discovered that they were in the habit of staying out late in the evening when other good chick ems had tucked their heads under their wings. They spent their nights until nine o'clock or later under the street light picking up the inserts that litter the space under the arc.

there that in the future passenger yes ses would be given due warning.
 The incident, therefore, caused widespread surprises especially since the ship was bound for the United States and had no contraband. In some quarters there was disposi- ton to think the German submarine commander might have exceeded his orders or made a mistake
 The general immunity Of passenger lines under belligerent flags, carry ing Americans, seemed to have en- joyed the last few weeks had devel- oped a feeling of confidence that the German government would avoid any incident that might intensity the feeling in the United States and bring the relations of the two coun tries nearer the breaking point
 For this reason, along with ths information as to exactly what oc- cured when the Arabic was at tackled, the viewpoint of the German foreign office was eagerly awaited.

OF GOVERNMENTS

Absolutely speaking, no such thing as good government has ever been known. About all imaginable forms have been tried and every one has shown notable failings. Government itself is at most only half good thing. Its most important functions are a product of human failings Probably a community of saints would have no use for any govern ment
 Government is undergoing a tre- mendous efficiency test just now Considered as an organization for conducting the public business of a great community. the government of the United States is undoubtedly in ferior to that of Germany But gov ernment is more than merely a con cern for carrying on public business. It is compact, a bond that involves our wills and at least potentially touches all our relations. Personally we would much rather tolerate the weaknesses of our form of govern ment than have man in the United States in whose presence it was not permissible to stand with a hat on, and concerning whom one could not if one were so minded, lawfully ex- press the opinion that he was an ass Probably a free government can never be as efficient as a bossed one. That seems to be one of the inherent defects of democracy. The demaEogue is another defect Tn short, democratic government is far from absolutely good, yet it is the best there is.-Saturday Evening

The Arabic's tonnage was 15,sO1 gross and 10,O62 net. She was six hundred feet long. 65 feet beam and AZ feet depth.
 On the last eastward trip the Arabic arrived at Liverpool on August 6 from New York Following the re- ceipt of a cablegram announcing her safe arrival, the bureau of combus- tibles in New York allowed the fact to become known that two sticks of dynamite were discovered on board July 27. the night before she sailed from New York.

 According to this account, the pers- cope was sighted as the steamer went in from St. Georges channel. and it soon became obvious that a hostile submarine was in pursuit. The Arabic put on full steam and outdistanced the submarine.
 On the occasion of an apparent at tempt to dynamite the Arabic, the explosive was discovered by a private detective, concealed under a settee in the womens parlor cabin amidship A thorough search of the liner was made before she sailed on her last eastward trip on July 2S, but no ex- plosives were found.

 The president was preparing to go golfing when word of the sinking of the steamer reached him. He inn modiately abandoned his plans and remained in his office the remainder of the day receiving reports as fast as they came in.
 The decision O. the United States to refuse all claims for life or pro- rerty lost aboard ships torpedoed with due warning, was made clear when it became known the claim in the case of John Wall, a muleteei killed when the Armenian as sunk, would not be taken up by the state department. The department holds there can be no legal claim in cases like the Armenian where ample war ming vas given and the ship refused to obey even when subjected to shell fire.

Arabic He said there was no authen- tic information as vet as to whether any or how many were lost.
 When the news of the sinking of the Arabic reached London late in the afternoon it caused a tremendous Sen- sation. The first reports stated it was feared a large numoer of passen- gers had been lost Measuring news came shortly by wireless. however It was to the effect that some fifteen or sixteen boats and life rafts had left the steamer safely, had been picked up. and were being lowed to Queens town. Later private telegrams brought news from most passengers that they were safe, although some of them were injured
 Captain Finch was formerly in the Pacific, Mail service. but for some years had been in command of the Arabic. The steamer is the largest yet destroyed by Germans with the exception of the Lusitania.
