PROTESTS GO
GREAT BRITAIN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Protests
were sent today by the state depart
ment against the action of the British
in interfering with the American
shipping of American packing house
products on the Observation-Disclosures
steamer Kristianiafjord, due to sail
from New York tomorrow. The state

the case is unwarranted as the meat
goes to resident buyers in Sweden. The
British. position is that it fears the
goods will be shipped into Germany.

PARIS, Nov. 5.-The Bulgarian
artillery violently bombarded the
Nish-Ava river Wednesday, says
a Saloniki dispatch to the Matin
filed yesterday. They captured
Nish-Kavola, a small town two
hours march northeast of Nish.
French headquarters, according
to a Saloniki dispatch, admits that
two days ago the Bulgarians in
tie Belijovan region, near Nego-
tin effected junction with Aus
tro-German cavalry. 1t is as
serted, however that the natural
difficulties encountered in this
district are so great that it is
doubtful whether the union of the
forces will serve any practical
end. Negotin is on the Danube
river at a point where only the
river separates ROumanian terri
tory from the frontiers of the Bull
garians and Serbians.

ENTITLED
 TO HOSPITALITY
German Press Warns Readers Against Insulting English Speaking
 People in the Streets.

Berlin, Via. London, Feb. 12, 10:50 a. m-An appeal to it's readers not to allow hatred for Great Britain to lead them to insult English speaking persons in the streets, is printed by the local Anzeiger. The paper says it may be assumed in the great majority of such cases that the speakers are Americans It reminds it's readers that diplomatic representatives of the United States have assumed the pro- lection of Germans in lands with which that country is at war.
 Americans in Germany are entitled to be treated as guests and the laws of hospitality must be violated under no conditions, the Lokal Anzeiger says, adding. "Americans living here happily are sensible enough not to hold the whole people responsible for the excebses sef i}adividuals.''

Defyjnu the Stomach.

While trying to drink a quart of
whisky without taking the bottle from
his lips Isaac B. Pierson of Clarks-
vile, N. j., recently succumbed to
heart trouble. He had won the whisky
on the Harvard-Yale football game,
and was so elated that he insisted
that his stomach was as good as his
judgment. He had almost accom-
plished the task when he dropped to
the floor.
More fortunate was Willis Hunting
of Milwaukee, who took to himself
short time ago the title of champion
almond eater of his city. He was
very fond of burnt almonds and on a
wager agreed to consume a five-pound
box. He performed the feat, ate half
a pound more to show that he had
not won by fluke and then-took to
his bed. A doctor had to be called,
but with the liberal use of the stom-
ach pump Hunting pulled through.

Simple Life at st, Andrews,

The university of ST. Andrews,
where Professor Herkless is appoint
ed principal in succession to Sir
James Donaldson, formerly bore closer
resemblance to our southern seats of
learning than the other Scottish uni
versities,
The practice of residing within the
walls prevailed longer here than else
where, and ceased mainly because the
rooms were allowed to become unin-
habitable in the interest of the pro-
fessors' Candlemas dividends. Andrew
Lang once met an aged st. Andrews
man who remembered the last under
graduate resident in college. He GER
tainly lived "the simple life" because
he cooked for himself and peeled his
potatoes with a razor!
But the resident undergraduates
must have been troublesome tenants,
says the Westminster Gazette. They
had a playful habit of breaking all
the windows when they left, and one
of them declared that if he did not
get more drink he would burn down
the college.
