Of their contents. The belief most
commonly held, however, was that
some form Of supervision over the
distribution Of foodstuffs to the civil
ian population Of Germany, either by
American consular agents, or Ameri-

It was recalled that such a proposal
was made by Germany. but could not
be put into effect without the consent
of all the belligerents. Germany has Of

President Wilson discussed with his

posed by the declaration Of submarine
war on merchant vessels, and 1t was said
later that the replies from England and
Germany to the informal representations
would have a considerable bearing on the

A RECORD CROP OF
ROYAL Sp|NSTERS
CAUSED BY WAR
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Feb 12-One of the effects
of war may be to produce a record
crop of royal spinsters. The number of
possible combinations in European roy
atty is necessarily limited, but with the
international enmities aroused by the
war and the loss of at least some of
the princelings the chance Of princess
changing her name is now compare
lively slight
In the case Of England, there is Prin
cess Mary, and the Princess Maud of
Fife. Intermarriage between the Eng
lish and German houses, owing to the
supply of princes from the smaller Ger
manic states, is traditional. But that
may not now be continued because of
the bitterness aroused by the war.
Russia has seven grand dukes on the
eligible list, most of them enormously
wealthy. The young and handsome
Duke Constantine may be the more at
tractive, but Duke Dmitri Paulovitch
stands nearer the throne.
Duke Dmitri's name, however, has
been coupled with the Cars eldest
daughter. At the end Of the war,
treaties between the Balkan states will
probably be sealed by a number of
royal intermarriages. But the British
do not look to the Balkans for royal
mates and the Germans and Austrians
can not.

REMARKABLE CASE
OF HORSE SENSE
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Feb. 15.-A remarkable in
stance of horse sense, when a number
of riderless steeds broken loose in the
night ignored a challenge to halt but
stopped on hearing the rattle OF rifle
bolts is related in a letter from the
front.
1--WE were on patrol along a dark
roadway" says a British trooper.
when we were startled by the thump
of hoofs. The sound of galloping
came nearer and nearer down the road
until the time came to shout a sharp
halt! The horses were almost upon
us when we challenged second time.
No stop. In a second the patrol releas-
ed safety catches and opened the cut
outs. At the metallic ring Of the bolt
actions, the horses reared back on their
launches. Advancing, with our fingers
on the triggers we found the animals
were unsaddled and without riders.
Later we learned they had broken
out of their stable. We had no trouble
to lead them into a neighboring farm
yard, for they knew what the rattle of
bolts meant"

killed or wounded. The lieutenant sue
ceeded in running across fields and
half frozen bitches and getting into a
house, where he was followed and sur
rounded by the Russians. Their lead
err sent a man to call upon him to sur
render, but this was refused. On Sec
ond summons he was informed that his
resistance against a whole troop Of
Russians would be impossible. But the
German counted the bullets in hts re-
yolver and answered "A German officer
does not surrender. l still have five
cartridges-they are enough for you
and me-"
Then came fight in which he was
twice severely wounded and captured.
"A man with that on him never sur
renders" he said as he pointed to the
iron cross on his breast. He died on
his way to the field hospital. The Rus
slams gave him burial with all the hon.
ors Of war in the church yard at Dro-
bin. They erected a wooden cross with
the inscriptions: won Griesheim, Lieu
tenant of the Thuringian Hussars."

EVEN CONSTANTINOPLE
TO HAVE NAME CHANGED

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
London, Feb. 12.-Although the city
of Constantinople is invariably referred
to in Turkish official documents as the
Oar Saadet Gate of Happiness), and
in ordinary language as Istambol, the
name Constantinople has up to now
been retained on the Turkish coins,
which bear the inscription "minted in
Constantinieh." According to an
nouncement just made in Constantino-

to disappear. New coins are under

London, Feb 1.-THE fleet Of British
motor -ambulances In France and F1an-
ders has now reached 800 and is still
expanding at the rate of 40 cars a
week, an average which has been
maintained ever since the middle Of
September.
Contrary to the popular idea, motor
ambulances are not used at the firing
line, nor have they entirely superseded
the old horse ambulance. Motor ambu-
lances operate best in the rear of the
line where they are used to transport
the wounded from the field hospitals to
the ambulance trains.

FLIGHT WHICH
CHANGED GERMAN DASH

Berlin, Feb. S-(Correspondence Of The
Associated Press).-An aeroplane scout
ing flight which made history has just
come to light, Utmost six months after
1t took place. The report of the two avt-
ators making the flight turned General
Won Kluck's column toward the south
from its dash on Paris in August anf.
changed the whole line of battle in the
west. A striking feature of the flight,
moreover, was that its course did not
follow orders, but was determined upon
the initiative of the flyers. The story of
the flight, taken from German maya
zine devoted to aeronautics, follows:
1T happened on the occasion Of our
dash on Paris. The inhabitants of the
city of light received a visit from Ger
man aviators. The latter were accus-
toned to drop a couple of bombs every
day, but on their visit here it was not
the object of their program. The chief
thing was to keep watch of the move
ments of the Paris reserve army This
ward the east, and one day an aeroplane
went up to observe it again.
Upon Their Own Initiative
"The aviators were struck with the I'M
certain movements of the opponents of a
German corps, who appeared tn be hav-
ing trifling conflict with troops further
north Upon their own responsibility the
aviators changed their course and flew
off to the north. They flew and flew,
for what they saw was we'll worth closer
observation. Then they speeded back to
headquarters and announced that hos
tile army was marching upon Won
K1ucks flank. Nobody would believe 1t
at first. Cavalry patrons had brought no
news to indicate such a movement; but
evertheless 1t was true
1.-THE report resulted in the known dis
position of the German position in the
district and in the comforting of the Iron
Cross Of the first class upon the pilot
and the officer-observer."
The two men referred to are both first
lieutenants. They but recently carried
out an important flight over Warsaw.

Competitive Printing

- Peopleno longer ask for dollars worth
Of printing. Printing doesn't come in'bulk
Booklets are not bought in assorted sizes as
VOL b11y collars. Printing is now sold with
and as a service. Every piece OF printed
matter is made to fit particular occasion
to appealto special class OF readers to
express the personality of an individual ad-
yertiser.
e. First, we offer good printing-as good
as canbe DONE To that we add suggestions,
IDEAS layouts of our own to make the print
ing effective it is a label or an ad-
vertisement. =.
We are glad to give you an estimate Of
what job will cost, but an estimate upon
job of printing is valuable only when each
printer is estimating on the same job.
That seldom happens.
Paper costs 3 cents to Is cents pound.
Ink costs Is cents to S. pound.
Taste, originality, knowledge-these
are almost priceless.
If you are good Judge Of all these
things-then you can decide between esti-
mates. Competitive printing, however,
never secures such good results as reposing
confidence in a printer of proved worth.
The next time your attention is arrested
by printed thing we'll DONE stop and ask
yourself: Can such work be done by the
printer who figures lowest? No. Cheap
printing conveys the idea that you are a
cheap man, doing cheap business at cheap
prices.
It seems unfortunate that people do not
understand that the most interesting state
ment that can be put in type has no appeal
unless the vital words are properly mar
shalled by an intimate knowledge of paper,
ink, and type faces plus-and here is the big
secret-the knowledge of the particular re-
quirement in hand and the ability to handle
it. Your printer should become the master
workman who moulds the many elements
into one harmonious whole.
Naturally we are subject to the wishes
of our customers. If you desire to attend to
the various parts which go to make the
completed job-if you feel competent to be-
come the master mind, we will become me-
chanics and produce for you the printed
work which will be your conception of what
you want
But if you leave it to US we will adapt
your ideas and embody your needs into the
harmonious expression which you seek. If
it is results or effectiveness that YOU are
after we can help you. That subtle dignity,
htness OF purpose, and general impressive
ness become an intangible part of our work.
TO summarize. Don't haggle on cost;
haggle for effectiveness Don't waste your
time dickering. Come to Headquarters.
Come where they have the equipment, the
men, the ability, the reliability, and the Gre
alive service.
We shall be pleased to prove our claims
