DRAFT OF GERMANY'S REPLY
Answer to American Note. Regarding
Lusitania Tragedy, Is Nearly Com
pleted, Says Report.

Washington, May 22.-Germany's re-
ply to the American note, sent a week
ago as a consequence Of the Lusitania
tragedy and other violations of Ameri-
can rights in the war zone, has been
nearly completed. according to init
nations which have reached here
through diplomatic channels.
The return of Emperor William from
the eastern front is said to be awaited
by the Imperial Chancellor and the
minister Of foreign affairs before the
document Is put into final form for
presentation to Ambassador Gerard.

staff; Won Jagow, the foreign minis
ter; Won Rethmann-Holweg, the chan
cellor, and Won Tirpitz, head Of the
admiralty and author Of the subma-
rine policy.
h majority Of these advisors are
expected to advise a firm and vigor.
oC5 policy.
The suggestions that filter through
here are that the German govern
ment insists on believing that America
is not in deadly earnest in the mat
ter, and hat the situation may be
handled by argument, suggestion OF
arbitration. and by a presentation OF
Germanys case. together with certain
demands relative to bringing pressure
upon GerInanys enemies 10 which the
American government will not be able
to accede.
That the President is endeavoring
to head off arbitration is supposed to
have been indicated IN his New York
address, when he said America was
asking nothing it did not have a right
to ask for humanity.
Urge suspension OF Attacks.
Both the Austrian and German am
b~assadors are understood to have
telegraphed to their governments urg-
ing suspension of submarine attacks
on passenger ships while the diploma
tic discussions are in progress, be-
cause OF the serious situation that
resulted in the United States from
the sinking OF the Lusitania. They
have cautioned extreme care lest the
sinking of another ship with American
lives aboard may lead to an imme-
date break in the relations Of the
United States with Germany.
Protest to Britain Considered.
The general expectation here is that
Germany will reiterate her willingness
to abandon her present submarine war
fare on merchant ships and follow the
maritime laws if neutrals will infiu-
ence the allies to permit the shipment
of foOdstuffs to civilians in b%elligerent
territory. In this connection. there
has been some consideration given in
official quarters here tt the advisable
ity OF sending a note OF protest to
Great Britain against the actual OPP
erations OF its fleet in enforcing the
blockade OF commerce with Germany.

Why Men Eat More Thar Women.

Why Men Eat More Thar Women.
That men eat five or six per CEN
o than wOmen-not because they
are gluttons, but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as a result Il an investiga-
ton made in the nutrition laboratory
OF the Carnegie institute at Washing
ton by Francis G. Benedict and l.. +.
Games. says the Literary Digest. The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have a smaller proper
ton OF active tissues than men Of
the same weight and more inactive
material. such as fat. The investiga-
ton disclosed that the average wom-
an generates only 1856 heat units in
the "a hours, as against 1858 pro.
duced by the man. or about two per
cent more for the latter per pound OF
body weight. When groups were com.
pared. after careful selection OF indi-
sviduals Of nearly the same height and
weight, the. men found to pro-
duce about II per cen more heat than
women.

STATUES IN 6n9iano Noted FOR Crude

Some of the statues in public places

unique symbols or glaring errors In
modelling. One OF the former kind Is
the statue of Sir Anthony Ashley at

the ceremony was performed with an
umbrella. and the substitute has been

statue Is incorrect In one important
detail. The stately pose of the horse
is negatived by the position of the hind

when a horse is racing at full speed.

COAL MINERS CLOCKS.
Telling the Time Of Day by Lamp or
an Oil Flask.

Telling the Time Of Day by Lamp or
an Oil Flask.
Do you know that every miner when
descending into the pit to work takes
with him a couple of clocks? These
are not ordinary timepieces, for they
have neither wheels, springs, dials nor
any Of the usual appurtenances. The
Clocks" are simply his lamp and oil
flask. By noting the quantity of oil
tell to within few minutes any hour
of the day'or night.
When miners lamp goes out, as It
not infrequently does, in almost any
circumstances he must not relight 1t
himself. Instead. though he may be
left in pitch darkness, he must grope
his way to the lamp cabin or to some
other point where he can obtain the
proper assistance. He does the ''grop-
ing" with his hands, STOPPING down
until he touches the tram lines along
which the coal Is taken, and sliding
his hands along the metal until he
reaches his destination or meets some
one going in the same direction.
A coal hewer's earnings depend on
the weight of coal he gets and also on
the number of fathoms cut. A cubic
yard of coal weighs about eighteen
hundredweight, and the outstretched
arms of an average man extend to
about one fathom. By these measure
ments. independent of the official ones,
each man can roughly calculate his
earnings for any particular shift

Rules That Guide Chicago Detectives
In Spotting Their Man.
How to tell pickpocket when you
see one-the feat Is apparently not
difficult, for all applicants who take
the civil service examination to be-
come Chicago detectives are required
10 have mastered 1t.
"What are the physical characters
tics of pickpockets? the would be
thief catchers are asked.
And this is the answer they are ex-
pected to give:
"Pickpockets ordinarily travel In
mobs and are Of two distinct types
one small or medium stature. the other
tall and muscular. AS general rule,
the age runs from eighteen to thirty
Eve. Their hands are soft. show no
signs of work, and the fingers Of all
except the stall and particularly the
fingers of the wire are long and slen-
der. Their eyes are shifting and fur
tive. Their complexion is generally
sallow and without distinct color. this
being due either to prison pallor In
types or to the use Of cocaine or other
drugs. The cocaine users show drawn
features and prominent cheek bones
and usually have distinct rings around
the eyes.
1.-THE temperament of pickpockets is
high strung because of the dangers of
the profession or from the use of
drugs. At the same time they are pc.
lite almost to the point of obsequious-
ness. They seldom carry weapons and
rarely resort to force On duty they
dress to suit the occasion, generally
well. but not conspicuously. They
avoid wearing anything that might

How many men, Ii asked how many

exceeds two besides his native tongue.
1t may appear strange. but II Is new
ertheless true. that there are over 1000
languages spoken by mankind, while
the number of dialects exceeds this.
There are more than sixty vocabularies
In Brazil. and In Mexico the Nahua Is
broken up into some 700 dialects. There
are hundreds in Borneo. and In Aus
tralia there is no classifying the COM
plexities. Let US assume that fifty
dialects, on an average. belong TO each
language and we have the colossal
total of 100000 linguistic abilities.
A century hence the probability is
that there will only be four languages
