JAPS AAE BUSY
BUILDING SHIPS
Which Are to Be Used by the
Entente Allies in the Euro
peanl War.

Correspondents Of Associated Press)
KOBE, Japan, Dec. f3--No visitor,
who enters Kobe by sea can fail to
observe the great activity in ship
building at this port. The most
heavily capitalized shipyard in Ja-
lpan Is located here, and, all its docks
are filled with work. Three large
ships and many smaller ones are in
course of construction. Electrical
steel riveters keep up a constant din
which can be heard far out at sea.
In June there were Z forty four
ships, aggregating 1856, 1000 tons in
the hands OF Japanese builders and
the tonnage has increased consider
alb since that time, although the ex-
act figures are not available. All
Japanese shfp-yards have orders
(which will keep them at high press
ure for over q year. The scarcity
OF cargo space which the entire
world lis feeling, has thrown much
business into the Japanese ship
yards.
The sship-yard at Osaka Is reported
to have nearly 100000 tons of steel
ships In course or construction. It
Is estimated that there Is q tonnage

for 9 periodsof some months, few Ger

the latest reports from Sir John

the British ayiators, BY whom sixteen;

very similar biplanes o fthe ordinary
tractor type with single but very pow

up and down the German lines alta

were brought down by both British

nevertheless continued to increase OF
late. They keep largely to their own
lines which seems to be the German
plan OF air strategy.
The German plan is obviously to de-
stroy the greatest number Of enemy
aeroplanes with minimum loss to
themselves. They do this by enticing
the foe over their own lines. II is an
immense advantage to fight an adyer-

Another Shark Story

Passengers arriving at New York by the transatlantic liners bring strange stories, not all of which are based on the war Some time ago a shark was swimming along In the wake of a ship catching all the refuse thrown over board. One of the sailors, who had a well-fouuded antipathv for all sharks determined to try a new method of soaring the shark away With this end in view ho procured an alarm clock, which he carefully wound and set to go off in 20 minutes. Then the sailor tied the clock to a rope and dropped it overheard The shark in stantly swallowed it When the alarm went off he was truly scared. The shark manifested this in various ways He first stood on his hind legs and turned somersaults The big fish final ly took refuge in flight, meanwhile flashing the water furiously with his tail. The other day this same shark was captured by the same ship. When the monster was drawn on deck by the triumphant crew it was discovered that he was the one who had swal lowed the clock When he was cut open the alarm went off again.

She Gently swore.

One of the new skeletOn-trimmed hats worn by women caused merri- ment in a New York subway train and cost one man the price of new pair of eyeglasses. Tire wearer of the hat. a short, styhshly gowned, good looking young woman was seated be- tween two tall men, both of whom wore eyeglasses with a cord attached. Every time the woman fdgeted around the trimming would catch the strings attached to the eyeglasses of the two men. Suddenly one of the men started for the door as the guard called his station. When he arose he jerked the girls hat almost off her head, and as the hatpins pulled her hair she gave a little cry of pain. The man confusedly murmured an apology, at the same time clutching at his glasses, which had been loos- ened by the cOncussion and which fell to the floor and were broken. The young man beat a retreat for the door, while the young woman adjust ed her headgear and gently swore be- meath her breath.

POETRY OF THE CELT
FRENCH EXPERT TRACES ITS IN.
 FLUENCE IN LITERATURE.
Shows Possibility That the Institution of the Nomad Troubadour Had Its Origin In the Country
 of Wales.

Anatole le Braz of the University of Rennes, Brittany, in a lecture on the Celtic influence m literature, at the University of Cincinnati, dis tinguished between two classes of Celtic populations. those Celtic in oTi- gin, but with an intermingling of French and English blood, and those more purely Celtic. The second class, he said is found in France. among the Bretons, and in England, among the Celts of Cornwall, the Welsh, and the Irish To it we must look for any remains of the Celtic genius and for the means by which Celtic influence was brought to bear upon European literature Ireland which NJ le Braz chose as his starting point possessed, at the time of the Scandinavian inva- sion, an old civilization that had been little influenced by Rome or Germany. Christianity, however. left a profound imprint upon the Gaelic soul It is fin the religious domain that Ireland first influenced the European world Her saints evanFelized barbaric Europe and 1t was at the time of her religious awakening that she produced her artists and philosophers. The infu- ence of her epic poetry was no less felt than that of her evangelization.
 The Celts of Cornwall and Wales, he continued. superior in culture at the time of the Saxon invasion refused to h., o obcorboJ Iy tbafr r,,ora co,-o ero cou. querors The two chief Celtic pas sions love of country and love of in- dependence. found expression in the legends of King Arthur, who they be lieved, would reappear to free them from the Saxon yoke Through poetry and music these legends were kept ever fresh in the Celtic mind Music and song were an essential part of their education. and the bard was q privileged character among them, from the sixth century through the twelfth
 Gradually, as the Celts and Saxons united, the latter learned to appreci- ate the Celtic poetry, and the Celtic literary themes passed into Saxon possession. But as the new social state evolved. formed of this alliance, the art of the bards ceased to be an official institution, and they were com pelled to find a means of support They became wandering singers, go- ing to assemblies. feasts and abbeys.
 T should not be surprised, he marked M le BraZ, If it should some day be discovered that the institution of the nomad troubadour, of the Jongleur. so popular in Europe during the middle ages. had its first origina- tors in the country of Wales Through the nomad bard then, Celtic poetry was disseminated sung in the three language Saxon.

We can imagine our sailors apply ing alliterative epithets to the Darda- nelles when one of the weather inter ruptions occurs. remarks the London Chronicle But we cannot imagine Admiral Garden doing that sort of thing officially as XerXes did when a storm wrecked his bridge of boats from Abydos to Sestos Not content with having the engineers decapitat- ed, he ordered the indiction of 300 lashes upon the strait and the letting down into 1t of set of letters. He rodotus discredits the story that Nerxes also sent irons to brand the strait. But the historian does give the non-Hellenic and blasphemous terms which the scOurgers were or dered to use Thou bitter water, this is the penalty which our master in- nicts upon thee because thou hast wronged him though he has never wrouged thee.
