died by Command That Was

In all the naval services tradition Is

The Proceedings of the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus.
tom extends TO the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy, at least, it extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the ~vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English, and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled In interpreting
any unusual order.
On n occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate, scrub down with
rapidly" This was a new me-. and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times, the boatswain's
mate became desperate. He grabbed
a deck bucket, and forced it into the
hand Of the nearest apprentice, whom
he started On bis way with a push that

London, Aug. 1.-THE only evidence

frontier, where a bombardment of Bel
grade by the Austrians and a counter
bombardment of Semlin and Panscoya
by the Serbians has been resumed.
According to Nish, Austrian attempts
and Roumanian borders have been re-
pulsed, but it is believed by the mill
tary experts here that this region will
be the scene Of the next Austro-Ger-
man offensive. There is some specu-
lation in military circles as to whether
Roumania. as we'll as Serbia. will be
attacked, because of Roumania's re-
fusal to allow munitions of war to
pass through to Turkey, which is be-

Dardanelles fronts.

OF sorrows. but it softened neither the bitterness OF the blow
nor his resentment against those who had dealt II.
1t was their sympathy and love for their sovereign that
caused the Austrians to credit the dead Archduke with a pop
ularity that he had not enjoyed living. at least during the
greater part of the time that he was looked upon as a probable
heir to the throne. In fact, there was a time when he was
the most unpopular man In the monarchy.
Curiously enough. this was not due so much to any
wrongdoing on his own part as 10 the fact that he was a son
OF the Archduke Carl Ludwig. who was a clerical OF the most
reactonary type and who had been passed over in the order
of succession on account Of his proclaimed hatred OF consti-
tutionalism. and because he was a brother of Archduke Otto,
than whom no man ever figured In more scandals. Both Aus
TRANS and Hungarians took II for granted that he shared the
antiquated views OF the one and the vices OF the other.

John Groundhog was the subject OF
much speculation and conversation to-

looking out about the middle of the
forenoon, when the sun threatened to
break thru the clouds. 1t could not be
learned at just what hour the sleepy
animal would venture forth from his
winter snooze. but the general opinion
seemed to be that he came out several
times during the day, in order to give
his shadow numerous chances to show
itself. UP to 1880. chances seemed
favorable for having hi mstay out. and
thus hasten the advent of spring. but
later it seemed more probable that
ones shadow could be family distin-
guished if a position was taken on a
