No Cheap Diamonds.

Hundreds of thousands of women in
Europe are sending their jewelry to
the numerous relief funds for the war
ridden countries. Some give their
trinkets because it is the only thing
of value they own. Suffice it to say
that trustees of these funds in every
part of Europe report the receipt of
lots of iewelry, some pieces of which
are worth thousands of dollars.
When the great American jewelers.
read that this was going on they ap-
pointed agents to buy diamonds at
what they thought would be low
prices, but these commissions were
never executed, for there were no
cheap diamonds to buy. The DeBeers
company, owners of the greatest dia-
mond mines in the world, were in
touch with the heads of the various
relief funds and headed a syndicate
to take all the diamonds off their
hands.

1000 MILES FOR CARNATIONS
Chinese Dentist Goes Half Way Across
Continent and Back to Pro-
cure Flowers.

G. Kew, a Chinese dentist OF
Shanghai, who is in Seattle on his
way home, doesn't care about distance
or obstacles once he makes up his
mind he wants something Mr. Kew
arrived on the Pacific coast from
Shanghai in search of health. He
visited the various cities along the
Pacific slope and came to Seattle a
week ago.
After booking his passage for China
he found that he had several days to
wait, and, remembering that he had
tied string on his finger to remind
himself to bring home some carna-
ton plants, took the first train for
Chicago and sought florist noted for
the excellence of his carnations
He just has returned from Chicago
with his carnation plants and will sail
Tuesday for Shanghai, where they will
add their part to his flower garden.
1T never occurred to me until now
how odd it must seem to anyone to
travel to Chicago and back for a few
carnations, said Mr. Kew. However
l am a lover of flowers and wanted
| this especial kind, so | guess my triI
was not wasted. l saw lot of inter
| esting country and Chicago itself
| which. by the way, was most extraor

"LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
English Newspaper Criticizes the
Habit of Writing on Every Con-
ceivabe Subject.

The habit of writing letters to the
newspapers on every conceivable sub
ject is one peculiar to England, says
the Bystander
Whether 1t is because this war be-
gan in August or whether it is that
long practice in silly season" topics
has entirely divorced the public sense
from public correspondence, it is i'm
possible to say But the fact remains
that this war has been responsible for
some of the most absurd letters ever
seen IN any public print The dan
gerous lunatic who was first respon-
sible for the suggestion that young
women should patrol the streets and
give white feathers to young men not
in uniform is a typical instance And
there are plenty more Hysterical
colonies, mercifully retired; timid &C.
clesiastics, bullying with sentiment;
above all, thousands of women, who,
having been useless all their lives, ex-
pect to know how to make themselves
(and even other people, useful
at moments notice-all these have
rushed into print during the last few
weeks to the despair of the wise and
the fury of the irritable.
| A curious, not to say consoling, com
| mentary Oh this outpouring of non
| sense is that it hardly ever deals
with our best and most vital organiza
lions. You will not find fool CORE
spondence about the navy at all popu
lar. 1t is reserved for the things tt
which we have admittedly not giver
our best attention, as, for instance
how to raise in the shortest possibl,
time an army of million men.

MAY "cUT OUT" LUNCHEON
Londoners Discuss Idea of Giving Up
Meal That Can Be Dis
pensed With.

Hearing that Berlin is giving up five |
o'clock tea as an unnecessary, expen-
sive and English meal, a Londoner
suggests that if there is talk of re-
prisals luncheon should be dropped,
for the habit was introduced from
Germany by the prince consort.
Is this true? In the first half of
the nineteenth century Holland house
was regarded as Mr.. Russell put it, as
the very ark and sanctuary of re-
fined luxury" but at the breakfast
parties only tea, coffee, eggs, rolls and
butter were served. Luncheon or
"puncheon, was mere mouthful in
those days, Philip Hale observes in
the Boston Herald Men went out
shooting with a sandwich in their
pocket; the ladies who sat at home
had some cold chicken and wine and
water brought into the dining room
on a tray" In Miss Austen's novels
| the midday meal is not fully described;
| she speaks of cold meat" but Doctor
| Kitchener wrote in 1926; Your lunch
| con may consist of bit of roasted
| poultry, a basin of beef tea, or eggs
| OF UOil6u III the smell, UEh
| plainly dressed, or a sandwich; stale
bread; and half pint of good,
home brewed beer, or toast and wa
| ter, with about one-fourth or one-third
part of its measure of wine" The
doctor is the man that after a solid
dinner at seven o'clock, prescribed a
supper of 'gruel, or little bread and
cheese, or pounded cheese and a glass
| of beer"
OF course the word luncheon is old.
1t originally meant a piece, a thick
piece, hunk And so we read of a
seventeenth century person "eating a
great lump of bread and butter with
a luncheon of cheese" We find this
use in one of SCOTS novels: Little
Benjie was examining a huge lunch
con of pie crust into his mouth The
word as we now use it was at first
applied only to a slight" repast be-
tween two of the ordinary meal times
especially between breakfast and mid
day dinner. The German slice of but
tered bread with glass of beer taken
at 1880 or IL q. m.-we speak oil
household life in the Berlin and ORES
den of the last eighties-was a lunch
con in this earlier English sense.

The Comet and the War.

Winneck's comet is now telescope
object in the sky, known to astron-
omers but unknown to the citizen who
depends upon his unaided eye New
ertheless, the London Chronicle takes
occasion to comment upon the fact
that the people are not laying the war
to the comet, as was customary in
ancient times. But there were giants
in those days" in the comet line, and
it takes a giant comet to get people
excited. We have from one to half
a dozen comets every year, so the as
tronomers tell US, but we do not see
them. The ancients had as many, but
in those days not even the astrononl-
ers saw them. No wonder our people
do not ascribe the war to a comet
they do not see and of whose exist
ence they only learn from a line or
two in the papers. Bring on a comet
as is a comet and then see what we
think about it.

THOUGHT KIPLING A SPY
His Questions Regarding Troops
Aroused Suspicious of Eng
lish Officer.

Rudyard Kipling narrowly escaped
arrest on charge of espionage recently
on the Territorial training field at
Sevenoaks, England, says the Youths
Companion. In letter sergeant III
the Territorials says:
Our battalion turned out in full
marching order and proceeded to our
usual practice grounds. An ordinary
looking man came to me and asked
me lot of particulars about the bat
talon. He told me he had seen lot
of soldering in his time and said he
must confess our men struck him as
being about the smartest in marching
he had ever seen, outside the regu-
lars.
"He asked me so many particulars
about them and also about their bill
lets that l thought l should detain
him as sort of spy. l excused my
self and rode off to the head of the
column and informed one of our
majors of what had occurred, and
later took the man to the major.
''The officer stopped me today and
laughingly asked me if knew whom
| had tried to put under arrest.
said I did not and he told me it was
no less a person than Rudyard Kip
| ling"

Robbed at Billy Sunday Meeting.


"One can never tell what kind of
company he is in when he's in a
crowd" observed Maj J. G. Hemphill
of South Carolina and Philadelphia,
at Washington. William Campbell,
editor of the Charlestown Free Press,
West Virginia, recently had an expert
perience which illustrates this point.
He was visiting in New York, and
went with the crowd to see the new
heavyweight champion, Jess Willard
He thought pretty well of Willard
The next day he went over to Pater-
son to hear Billy Sunday. He
thought pretty well of Sunday, also
In fact, he thought so much of the
baseball evangelist that he went bach
the following day. AS he was push
ing his way out of the throng in the
tabernacle in Paterson someone
touched him for his bank roll, which
he had careIessly allowed to repose
in his coat pocket.
THE incident very naturally set the
editor to thinking about crowds, anC
he came to the conclusion that NJ
matter what might be the attraction
sports or religion, human nature yer!
probably was the same. At any rate
he lost his money"

Occupancy of Polish Capital
Exposes the Russians to
Great Danger
WINDAU ALREADY
HELD BY GERMANS
And They Are Pushing Forward To
ward Riga with the Intention of
Selling That Port, Thus Obtaining
Another Naval Base.

LONDON, July 20.-The uppermost
question concerning the eastern cam
paign now is when Warsaw will be
evacuated, rather than whether it will
be given up.
With virtually all of Courland in
the hands of Field marshal Won Hin
denberg and with the Austro-G German
forces across the Bug, continued occu-
pancy of the Polish capital exposes
the Russians to the danger of disaster
Through Copenhagen comes Il report
Of the occupation of Windau by the
Germans. This menace to the Rus
slams from the north is paralleled from
the southeast by the advance of the
Teutonic allies on the Lublin railroad,
one of the chief arteries of communi
cation with. Warsaw.
The wisdom of abandoning the
Warsaw salient in favor of n straight
Russian line daily becomes n more
definite subject of discussion and spec
ulation among the allies and Russian
retirement from the capital before it
is invested completely is widely pre-
dicted.
From Windau the Germans are re-
ported to be advancing toward Riga
with the intention of selling that port
and clearing the near by seas of
mines, thus obtaining another naval
base.
On the western front other Ger
mans apparently are content to main
tain series of sporadic attacks on
various portions of the line. Paris
claims the Germans suffered severe
losses in an unsuccessful attack on the
heights of the Mcuse.
