Stories of the War
The U-21.

The second of Otto von Gottberg's s semi official accounts of the German navy is devoted to the exploits of sub marine U-21. He writes:
 "On the torpedo tube of the U-21 Is now the incription: Through a shot from this tube, on August g, 1914, the captain sank the English cruiser Path finder Of this engagement, Lieuten- ant nt-Commander won Hersing Qron Cross) said: She wanted to enter the Firth of Forth, but I lay across her course and sank her. An English destroyer pursued me, but I naturally took the U-21 under the water, and we escaped safely"
 Of the recent work of U-21 in the Irish Sea. von Gottberg says: Soon after January 2Oe the boat put to sea. It headed for the vicinity of Liver pool, and sank the Ben Cruachan, loaded with general cargo. While the Ben Cruachan's boats were still in sight the Linda was sunk. Then a coal steamer appeared and Lieutenant Hersing waited for her, but by this time the wireless had sent an echo of the thunderous explosion on the Ben Cruachan into every office of British shipowners, and Hersing waited in vain for several days for new booty. But John Bull was clever; he had ordered the stoppage of all shipping in the Irish Sea.
 From Liverpool Bay Hersing cruised off into the Irish Sea, bonn barding an airship shed as he passed. A neighboring port shelled the little

RESTS WITH THE PEOPLE.

When the people of standing and the public opinion of state are aroused then will there be a stop put to the night riding escapades which have of late been disgracing such states as Kentucky and Missouri, and it ought net to require many such un- just exhibitions to bring effective ac- ton. These are only a little removed from the lynching proclivities of cer- tain sections of the country and are borne of much ths same race hatred, but in both instances wrong instead of right prevails and its continuance should never be tolerated.
 The upholders of law and order ought not to be required to push the authorities into action, but when it is necessary, and there are frequent in- stances of it, there should not be lack ing the 'fnsistence which will make it clearly understood where the true sen- timent of the commonwealth lies. Every time such lawlessness Is per- tnitted to 20 unnoticed added encour-

AM ElRiCAN VESSELS.

It must be apparent to both Great Britain and Germany by this time that this country does not intend to sur render it's rights on the high seas, that its protests have not been made with bias towards either one, but that in the measures which the belligerents have seen fit to take against each other, this country perceives the un- just handicap which is placed upon the trade of this and other neutral na- t1ons. This country is not concerned so much as to the disrespect of Great Britain for Germany or vice versa as 1t is over the tendency of those coun- tries to overlook their duty to this and other neutrals in bringing to bear the whiplash which each is endaavoring to apply to the enemy.
 As the New York Tribune well says: There is not a feathers weight of jingoism or chauvinism in this coun- try today. But 1t is equally true that there is not the least readiness to surrender rights for which our an cestors fought, suffered and died a century ago. It is too much to expect that Englishmen or Germans in the present hour will see things through our eyes. But it is appropriate and necessary to remind them that we shall not see them through theirs or look at them with eyes blinded by partiality to any belligerent."
 Europe cannot expect that this coun- try is to allow it's vessels to be sunk or the lives of their crews jeopardized by treatment which Is unwarranted and it must, though it may not be will ing to show it, openly. be moved by the honesty of purpose and justice of the representations which have been made concerning them.

Picking Nurses.

How wise old surgeon determined which of 20 youthful nurses he should accept for service is told in the Tag Hche Rundschau. The young women had spent six weeks in training in one of the big garrison cities, and at last stood before the superintendent.
 q congratulate you'', he began, Ion your willingness to serve the cause of the Fatherland. Previous experiences, however have shown me that all does not always go wei with those serving in the sanitary divisions, that the work proved distasteful to them. Will those who would prefer to serve exclusively in the officers wards please step forward"
 Shyly and blushingly, Is of the 20 young women stepped out of the line, whereupon the surgeon continued in his amiable tones:-"T thank you, ladies. Of your services I shall-not avail myself. Your decision indicates to me that you have not yet attained the necessary degree of earnestness required of those serving our wounded soldiers

So far as can learn, not a quail has been found dying or dead because of cold or scarcity of food; in fact, our winter has been exceptional for its lack of bors who drives much on our roads says he never experienced a winter with quail so plentiful He sees them daily in the roads, in the roadside bushes, the fields and on the walls. Quail have eaten many seeds from the poison ivy vines on a wall where he can see them from his window. This is better than that the seed should be left for robins to scatter far and wide, the quail using grit to grind all seed eaten, while robins drop all seeds in condition to grow.

office is of help in the work of recom- mending graduates for positions in business as well as in teaching. Schol- arships in the college were last year awarded to a total of 187 men; of these 97 took the scholarships as direct remission of tuition and 90 accepted 1t as a loan. In addition ministerial scholarships providing a remission of the entire tuition were granted to seV- eral men in each class. The provisions of these ministerial scholarships are that the funds received are to be re- paid five years after graduation if the recipient has not at that time entered the work of the Christian ministry. For the first three months of the pres ent university year the amount of work secured for the students directly by the bureau of appointments has to- tailed somewhat over $S.500. During this period 400 men registered for work, and all but 43 of these have been helped, 256 being given work to carry them through the entire year. In all SIS separate pieces of work were pro vided during the past three months, or exactly the number provided during the whole nine months of the previous university year.

THE COAL TAX.

More than the people of Pennsyl- vania are interested in the outcome of the suit in that state whereby the constitutionality of the law passed two years ago requiring a tax of two per cent. from the anthracite coal pro- ducers for the reimbursement of the state for its diminishing resources of that character. The customary pro- gress is being made in such cases and it promises to be some time before the final decision is obtained. In the mean time the coal companies are raking in the sheckels and hanging onto them.
 In case the law is upheld the money thus obtained will be turned over to the state. but what will become of that money in case the law is found to be unconstitutional? The coal com panies never for moment thought that the tax would, be paid out of their profits. As is usual in such cases they looked to the retailer and the retailer took it out of the consumer, and there would be nothing surprising if 1t proved to be the fact that the con- sumer has been called upon to pay more than the actual demand upon the companies.
 However that may be every pur- chaser of a ton of coal has been obliged to pay an additional quarter. Over six million dollars are now held up by the lawsuit. It belongs as yet neither to the state nor to the com panies. Yet the chances of the con- sumers, from whom that money has been collected, ever getting any part of it back are about as good as locat- ing gold mine in Connecticut. It may be difficult to tell where it will eventually bring up but as far as the consumer is concerned it has gone where the woodbine twineth.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Quail Not Freezing.

MT Editor: Bluebirds have been with us for past three weeks; very early. My boy reported seeing his first robin yesterday, only few days early.
 Owing to a lack of cedar trees, or possibly to too little protection from the cold winds, these birds do not win ter here, as they do in other sections of the state.
 I saw a flock of blackbirds, probably 60 or more, sitting in a maple tree, those warm days.

agement is silently given to its con- tinuance, and the ignoring of such desperate assumption of authority lowers the standing of that state.
 Let a state demand the rigid en- forcement of the law and respect for it will be materially increased. Such is one of the best warnings that can be given to criminals and it will oper- ate as effectively in the suppression Of the night riders. Where, however. au- thority is lax, there 1t must be expect ed that crime and lawlessness are go- ing to flourish. and the perpetrators of such outrages will continue to snap their fingers and laugh at the feeble pretense of maintaining a civilized, community,

Do you know how easy it is to re- move those ugly spots so that no one will call you freckle-face?
 Simply get an ounce Of othlne, double strength, from your druggist, and a few applications should show you how easy it is to rid yourself of freckles and get a beautiful complex ion. The sun and winds of February and March have a strong tendency to bring out freckles, and as a result more othine is sold in these months. Be sure to ask for the double strength othine, as this is sold under guaran- tee off money back if it fails to re- move the freckles.

Granville Barker of London, the world famous playwright, lectured on The Drama in Lampson lyceum on Wednesday under the auspices of the university dramatic association. MT. Barker was met at the station by four members of the faculty. He was taken out to see the bowl, as it is hoped that he will be able to carry out his plans to produce a Greek drama in the bowl some time in May. He dined with a few members of the Elizabethan club, together with E. J. Wendell, also a guest of the club, at the Mory's asso- citation. MT. Barker was the guest of Prof. and Mrs. William Lyon Phelps Wednesday and returned to New York Thursday morning. Together with his wife, he is the manager of the famous Kingsway theatre in London, where he has produced plays by Shaw, Bennett Galsworthy and others; his original productions of Shakespeare Twelfth Night and Midsummer Nights Dream have attracted attention over the en- tire world. This winter he was invited by some leading citizens of New York to come to this country and give America an opportunity to see his methods of drilling actors and of pro- ducing Shakespeare. His season, which opened at Wallack's theatre Jan. 22 has been most successful, and he has promised to return next year, if cir cumstances in Europe permit.
