Berlin, Feb. 15.-'tAfter all, it is
the women and children who are the
real sufferers of the war. Theirs is
suspense, theirs is dread of casualty
lists, alternating fear and despair,
that their father, husband or brother
may be among the missing. The fu-
ture to them may hold only gloom
and poverty. Theirs never is glory

Had Better Try Morris

GIenwood Herald: Whist teams
capitalized by David Bogie and Ole J.
Guam will contend for championship
honors at the City Hall this evening.
Mr.. Bogie's team has already estab.
lished record by winning decisively
from j. A. Eastman's bunch of picked
players. There are those however
who expect that Quam's team will
give Boggie and his clan considerable
trouble this evening. Quam's team
is composed entirely of experts in this
great Norwegian game, all of whom
are imported directly from Norway
for the occasion. That is at least a
report which has gained credence
around town during the day.

A staggering blow, says well post
ed Scandinavian writer, has been dealt
Scandinavian commerce by the clos
ing OF the North sea, just as the bust
pess men of Scandinavia had begun
to adjust themselves to the altered
conditions and their steamship lines
had chartered extra freight boats to
take charge of the increased trade
with the United States. The British
admiralty on Nov. issued a procla-
nation that as the Germans had been
dropping mines north of Ireland, evi
IDENTIFY from vessels carrying neutral
flag, England felt compelled to bar all
trading vessels from the North sea by
a series of mines laid along line
drawn from Iceland through the
Farce islands and the Hebrides. This
step toward complete closing in of
Germany, will give the British control
over all ships that pass to the, harbors
OF Northern Europe. Captains of neu-
trail ships are compelled to enter by
way of the British channel and the
Straits of Dover, where sailing direc-
tions will be given them, enabling
them, IF possiblbe," to reach Lin
desnaes, the southernmost poiRt in
Norway. The route is extremely dan
gerous, for the North sea is bristling
with mines, which have already claim
ed heavy tribute, especially from the
Danish merchant marine, while the
course within mile and half of the
eastern coast Of Great Britain, with
unlighted reefs On one side and mines
On the other, is almost marine tight
rope. 1t may be taken for granted
that England will in her own inter-
ests allow the Bergen-Newcastle line
to remain in operation, as it is the
only safe connecting link with her
ally, Russia, and therefore the mail
route between America and Scandi-
navia will be kept open. 1t is also
likely that the Danish and Norwegian
passenger lines may continue to take
their northerly course, at least for a
time and at the discretion of the
captain. 1t is asserted that they will
not be stopped, since suspicion has
been directed chiefly against smaller
freight vessels. 1t is manifestly i'm
possible to lay mines along the whole
distance of 800 miles, since the water
is too deep for anchorage, and it is
forbidden by The Hague convention
to lay floating mines except where
they are so constructed as to become
harmless an hour after the person
who has laid them has ceased to-; con-

King Christian of Denmark, King
Gustaf of Sweden and King Haakon
of Norway, who, with their foreign
ministers, met in conference at Nal.
moe recently to formulate a plan for
combining their respective interests
during the war, reached an agreement
On the special questions raised. The
meeting Of the three monarchs was
tnaugurated with speech by King
Gustaf, who alluded to the unanimous
desire of the kingdoms of the north to
preserve their neutrality, and pointed
to the desirability of limited co-opera,
ton between the kingdoms as a safe
guard to their common interests. He
said that when he invited the mon
archs of Norway and Denmark to
meet him he was impressed with a
deep sense of the responsibility which
would be incurred in relation to the
present and the future If any measure
which would contribute to the welfare
of the three peoples were neglected.
Kings Haakon and Christian replied,
testifying to their sincere joy at the
initiative of King Gustaf and express.
ing their hopes that the conference
would have good and happy results
for the three peoples. The delibera
tons of the monarchs and ministers
consolidated the good relations among
the three kingdoms and also enabled
an agreement to be reached on the
special questions raised. 1t finally
was agreed to arrange, when circum
stances should occur, for fresh meet
ings between representatives Of the
three governments.

Fable for theFair
BY ANN Isle.

There was once a 1s-year-o.s boy who
had high ideals" and lived ''blameless
life" Did he take this for granted as
simple and decent proceeding whicc
might be accepted as calmly as the fact
that he was neither thief nor a muir
derer? Not at all, lie insisted ON taking
every one he met aside and telling them
what very rotten place the world
was" and how he meant to hold himself
fer above its slurments and tempta-
lions.
BY the time he was % years old he was
fully convinced that sir Gallahad would
have blushed with shame at his own
shortcomings had they met.
At This stage Of the game he met a
very charming young woman of q years.
And he fell very much in love with her
lie set about his wooing by impressing
upon her how spotless he was. He never
permitted her TO forget for one moment
what a treasure she was getting. lie in
sisted on explaining to her that his
standards were as high as her own. The
girl liked his ideals. but she had ell her
life taken them for granted, and she no
more expected to hear them boasted OF
than she thought man would tell how
he had never struck his mother or stolen
small change from his fathers pockets.
SO she turned ON the man and suggested
that II his ideals were as high as hers
perhaps they weren't high at all.
! And tho man, who had no sense Of
humor. fled from her in horror, Since
oven the woman he had condescended 20
! love had confessed herself weak and
human, he concluded that he was the one
I tAtN1n Ia xsh ffan Of
rotten fruit. lie also concluded that his
was a lonesome position.
So he promptly went off and drank
! himself to death
Moral-The virtue whose CHIEF virtue
lies in admlring its own sanctity hasn't

If you mean by THE crest" the horizon,
or the line where the sky seems to meet
the sea. then the protectile would not
touch it, but would pass above it, at a
height depending upon the distance Of
the horizon, which, III turn, would de-
pend upon the elevation of your eye
above the sea-level. A common rule for
finding the distance of the horizon at
sea, or on level prairie, is this: To the
height of your eye, in feet, add half that
height, and the square root Of the sum;
the result will be the distance in miles.
This rule gives for height of six feet
horizon distance of three miles. can
nonball fired on level, from height of
six feet, would pass about twelve feet
above the horizon, situated three miles
away
If the cannon could be supposed fired
in such a way that the ball would just
skim the surface of the water in start
ing on its straight course. then at a dis
lance of one mile from the starting point
it would be about eight inches above the
surface; at three miles its height would
be six feet. and at twelve miles ninety
six feet. It's course would be tangent,
/ which is a line touching the circumfer-
ence of circle at a right angle to the
radius at that point, radius being a
straight line from the center of a circle
to any point on its circumference. The
plumb-line shows the direction of the
earth's radius at any place. What we
call level is line, or plane. lying in a
tangent to the earth's Surface, or parallel
to such tangent. and consequently at a
| right angle to radius or the direction OF
the plumb-line. The spirit-level is the
handiest instrument for determining q
level. -
