Eskimo Arrives at New York With
Thrilling Account Of Encounter
With Grizzly Bear.

Blubbering with joy. Aswatuk. an
Eskimo, to be known on the Pennsyl'
vania farm, whittier he has gone, by the
stern patronym of Morris Levy, was
released from Ellis island in charge
of Miss Martha Lininger, nurse al

one foot The other, the left, was
chawed off by a grizzly bear. wherein
lies the story.
Aswatuk-which means 1.-The chilly
baby"-is sixteen years old, but. &C.
cording to the story, he's so brave
that Labrador is probably relieved to
be rid of his daring spirit.
Miss Leininger, who brought him
back with her, had trouble getting him
into The country, but finally appeals 10

TUX is off to the farm.
But to the tale of that missing foot.
On cold, windswept night in Bolster's
Rock. Labrador, little Aswatuk and his
mother huddled about the whale Oil
lamp, wondering if Papa Aswatuk. the
daring fisherman, was riding the gale.
Suddenly from outside the igloo there
came scratching and the hearts OF
Aswatuk and his mother CONCEALED.
They knew 1t was the dread scratching
of polar bear scratching his way IN
to make meal off them.
Sundries in the way Of dried moose
meat and mission tracts were used 10
bolster the fast weakening wall OF the
igloo, but all in vain.
Through a ragged aperture gloomed
the horrid face of a grizzly bear. He
yawned in anticipation of little Aswa'
tuk-a plump youtl-just as Aswatuk
kicked with his left foot. The foot
reached the open mouth just as II
closed, and just as Aswatuk's mother
dropped the whale oil lamp on the
bears head. With a groan Of pain anG
anger the grizzly loped lightly away
blazing with wrath and whale oil, but
still clinging to Aswatuk's foot.
Aswatuk was taken to the hospital

Meat in japan.

1t is only within a recent period that
meat has come to play part in the
Japanese diet. Fish, flesh and fowl
were once strictly forbidden as arti-
eles of food by the tenets of Buddhism,
but gradually one after another came
to be allowed as eatables. Even now
meat, although becoming more and
more popular, is not used in large
quantities at one meal. Chicken,
game. beef. ham and pork may be
found on sale in most large towns and
cities. But beef is cut into mouthfuls
and sold to Japanese by the ounce;
chickens are carefully and infinitely
dissected and sold by parts-as the
wing. leg or an ounce or two of the
breast. 1t was a matter of great sur
prise to the natives of Mito that the
foreigners living there bought a whole
chicken or five or six pounds of beef
at time and consumed it all in two
or three meals.

Washington. - Germany probably
will repudiate the action of the cap
tain of the Prinz Eitel Friedrich in
sinking the American ship William Z.

OF the vessel and cargo. in the opinion
of German officials here.
1nasmuch as the United States and
Germany are IN accord on the ques-
/ ton of shipping foodstuffs FROM neu-
trail country to civilians in belligerent
territory, 10 issue is expected to be
raised by Germany over the right of
the cargo to be sent to its destination
without interruption.
Count Won Bernstorff. the German
ambassador, after a visit to the State
Department indicated that he believed
the case would be settled without
much difficulty. He told Counsellor
Lansing what the captain of the Prinz
Eitel had told Capt Boy-Ed. naval at
tache of the German embassy. as to
the sinking of the American ship; but
the ambassador reserved his own
opinion on the action of the COM
mander, saying he had no instructions
from his government
The question of damages was dis
cussed briefly between the owner OF
the Frye and the State Department Of
ficials who indicated that if the sink
ing of the Frye was proved to be an
aggravated case, punitive damages in
addition to the value of ship and car
go might be asked They pointed out
that England paid % per cent punitive
DAMAGES in the famous Alabama case
during the Civil War, but added that
a final decision in the present case
had not been reached.
State Department officials said the
next step would be the drafting of a
formal claim which could not be COM
pleted until definite information had
been received from owners of the
cargo.
Charles Frank and Robert Rogge,
members of the Fryes crew, were not
released when Capt. Fiehne and others
of his crew came ashore, the COM
nander of the Friedrich stating at the
time that the men were Germans and
still liable to service under German
arms. When Collector of Customs

it was stated the men had made no

WHIPPING OUT BEES NEST

The island in 1890 was simply tri-

north were battering it to pieces, and
as one authority wrote at the time,
"In a few generations, or at the most a
few centuries more, Helgoland will be

those of the surrounding sea-"
Instead of crumbling away the island
of Helgoland today is buttressed on
every side with ferroconcrete. Break

harbor built, and from armored case

protecting the island itself from its
natural enemy, the sea, and in convert
ing it into one of the strongest for
tresses in the world.
In fact, Helgoland today forms prac-
tically the nucleus around which the
whole naval program of the German
empire revolves.
At the time of the purchase the Kiel
canal was nearing completion and the
great navy yards and naval stations of
the empire were being built at Will

Since 1890 the island has been prac-
