CAPTURE FEW ENGLISH
Germans Report Only 35e Of 10000
Taken In February =.

A total of 100000 officers and mon
were taken prisoners by the German
forces in February and only eight ON
GERS and $50 men OF these were Eng.
lish, according to an official report IN
the Kolnische Zeitung OF March i
just received here.
The report states that Atty French
officers and about 5000 French men
were taken, and eleven Russian Gen.
erals, several hundred Russian ofilc
ers, and $4,000 men.
The small number Of the English
men taken is striking" says the paper
but since their terrible losses at the
end of December they have not ven.
tured to make any more attacks. MOI
less encouraging is the large amount
OF war material Of all sorts. which in
cludes fifteen cannon and twenty-sev.
en- mine throwers and machine guns
reported to number at least 400.
Taken all in all February has
brought us great booty in the East and
In the West Nor must we forget what
success the submarine warfare since
Feb. 1S has already shown. Officially
nothing has yet been reported in this
connection. but even our enemies
themselves have already confessed
the loss Of about twenty-five ships.
The Austrians, too, captured about
$4,000 Russians in Bukowina in Feb
ruary, together with large war stores

PRESIDED Mt MADE
PEACE REPORT
BUT FAILED
Envoy Used CourteOusly But Told
That Time Is Not Yet Come
COL. HOUSE NOW IN BERLIN
Mystery as to His Mission Now Clear
ed Up by Dispatch From the Hague
Saying That Peace Efforts Failed

The Hague, March 27.--Dispatches
from Berlin state that efforts made by
President Wilson to bring peace In
Europe have definately failed.
This message clears up the mystery
connected with the mission of E. NJ.
House to Europe as the special rep
resentative of President Wilson.
Col House visited London where he
saw Earl Grey. From there he went
to Paris and had an interview with
Premier Vizana and this week he has
been in Berlin in conference with the
foreign secretary of the empire.
Germany expresses earnest apprec-
iation of the effort of President Will
son TO bring about peace but declares
the allies have made war upon Ger
many without cause and that Ger
many must fight until those who have
attacked her are ready to sue for
peace when she stands ready to meet
them fairly and honorably.

GOOD MANNERS.
Little Aets That Speak Aloud About q
Persons Breeding.

Little Acts That Speak Aloud About a
Persons Breeding
1t is always the merest trihes rather
than the big things of life which in-
dicate the manners and tastes of the
average person, says writer in the
London Chronicle. A glaring social
error. particularly rude action or
iactless speech are not made with too
great frequency, but other less obtru-
sive faults are often committed-some-
times solely through Ignorance or
want of thought
1t is just as grave mistake TO be
too polite as to be abomlnably rude.
The painstaklngly polite person is very
trying to encounter, for extremes often
meet, and he generally succeeds in be-
ing actually i'll bred. For instance.
there is always the man who. in the
mistaken idea that a woman should
always precede him, allows her to fight
her way into crowded train, descend
unaided and walk before him into n
restaurant that is rather full.
Removing his right glove before
cnating hands with n woman; raising
his hat when he offers damsel his
seat in a car; carefully plotting his fair
companion across crowded street:
walking on the outside of the pave
ment and refraining from sitting when
talking to woman who happens to
be standing, are all instances of those
little things which mark the good
breeding and thoughtfulness of a man.
Unfortunately in some cases these
things do not come by instinct, but
rather through the hard school of eX-
perience.
On the other hand. woman requires
to be lust rs careful of her manners.
1t is very exciting no doubt to talk
loudly and initiate casual hearers into
the mysteries of an intimate conversa-
ton with another woman. Unfortu-
nately the listeners are only contemp-
tuously impressed with the fact that
the speaker is incapable of controlling
her own voice.
1t is usually either nervousness or
thoughtlessness that prompts woman
to display her worst side to the world.
She will take seat that is offered to
her In a crowded car without word
Of thanks or else will make the chival-
rous person feel still more embarrass-
ed by quick and emphatic refusal to
profit by his generosity, or perhaps
she will rush through swing doors
without bothering to notice If any one
IS likely to be caught in the rebound.
elbow people who are in her way,
walk on the wrong side of the street
or fan to remember that she must al
ways bow first to her men acquain-
tances before they raise their hats

BOND BUILT ROADS.

Financing Manterance of Highways as
Important as Financing Construction.
We learned long ago about the ben
efits OF good roads to farming commu
mites. The states and the federal of
fee Of public roads have also taught
us TO discriminate between clay roads,
gravel roads. rock roads, and Al the
other kinds of roads, and the federal
Office has made thorough study OF the
problems Of road finance.
\ typical instance Of management
that was brought TO the attention Of
the Office occurred in n southern state
where $4,000 was recently distributed
equally over nearly ninety miles OF
highway. After deductlns necessary
overhead expenses this sum was equiv
alent TO about S400 Il mile.
Obviously no permanent results
could be obtained from such distribu
ton. In another county, where heavy
rains and severe winters could not fail
to make the roads nearly impossible

To Thoughts Love But His Case Isn't Hopeless Unless He Turns Against
EARTH ROADS.

The earth roads are important
channels for the commerce OF the
country, are large factors ia the
social and church life of rural
communities and are OF vital
importance to the present rural
educational interests and the fu-
ture industrial developments of
agriculture. The very life. credit
and prosperity Of our country re-
quire that the rural community
shall have the highest possible
development, and, the quality of
the road from the farm to the
village and the town may aid or
retard this development, On one
hand. the earth roads should not
be improved nj such expense
that the cost will be real bur
den upon the community, and, on
the other hand. the roads must
not he so poor as 10 be bar to
the highest reasonable develop
ment of the community. In near

be greatly improved without ap-
preciable expense and with much
advantage to the local commu-
nifty and TO the entire country

F-4 Was Sunk In 300 Feet of
Water at HarbOr Mouth
DETAILS OF ACCIDENT LACKING
Steamers with Graphing Cables
Tried in Vain To Dray the Sub
marine Into Shoal Water

Washington, March 26.-The Navy
Department was notified by cable by
Rear Admiral Moore at Honolulu to-
night of the finding Of the submarine
F-4 in fifty fathoms OF water. Hope
for the lives OF the men on board
practically was abandoned by naTal
officers here on receipt of the news.
The PA was designed to resist water
pressure at a depth of approximately
fifty fathoms, or 500 feet, but it was
believed that it would be impossible
for her to remain at such depth for
any length of time within safety. Rec
ords show that when the FL. boat
of the same type, operated on her
trial trip for just ten minutes AZ a
depth of 2S3 feet, her hull groancd
and took in water.
Faint announcement was found by
officials in a suggestion that while
the IA had been missing since she
started on an underwater cruise at
9.15 o'clock yesterday morning, it was
possible that she had been at tle
great depth at which she was located
only a short time This seemed very
improbable however
