at seeing more of Nella than ever.

institution with the family group. 1t
seemed as though it had a mind to
appreciate kindness and recognize it's
friends. AS it was nursed back to
normal strength it refused to leave
the house, even the room. 1t became
dOmesticated in sort of playhouse
that Edison constructed for it, more
for the qualification Of the children
than anything else.
There was a tiny trough for bath
ing, a swing, a diminutiVe step lad
der. To all these novelties the strange
insect accommodated itself. For
hours Nella and her two child pro-
teges would watch the glossy bug.
One day an old messmate of the
dead sailor called upon Edison. Just
to talk over the best friend he ever
had" was the way he put it. He
brought some gifts for the two little
orphans. He CHANGED to see the bug.
"Shiver mel" he exclaimed nOisily.
Where on earth did you get Ma

Edison eagerly.
''Why surely" replied the old salt,
''for they're thick as bees in Malacca.
They get their name from going after
other insects bold and pushing, fer
reting them out of all kinds of queer
cracks and crannies. They are credit

With the additional burden of the chill

"Shoo! Shoow suddenly aroused
him.
Nella uttered the somewhat star

side of the children, nearly Upsetting

vines that half covered the side of the
house. She was welding a fan as a
weapon. There was the flutteE-of a
bright-winged bird driven into sud-
den flight.
Then Nella was down on her knees.
Edison saw her lift a small, sqUirming
object from the ground.

sweet, sympathetic tone. "The bird

little beauty"
His curiosity and interest aroused,
Edison hurried to the front door and
thence into the garden.

showed a beetle-shaped bug lying in
the palm of her hand. It was an unfa-

s'Laerses". which was recently attacked by
the German Submarine u. 2, has received a
tempcrary commission as q Lieutenant in the
NavaI Reserve. The King has awarded him
the Distinguished Service Cross for his gallant
and spirited conduct in command of an I'M
armed ship when exposed to 8unfre aid
torpedo attack by a submarine. The Admir-
atty has conveyed to Captain Fropert and
the officers and crew Of the "Laertes' on
expression of its appreciation OF their services.
Each officer has received a gold watch and
each member of the crew three pounds, IN
recognition of the example they set.
The "Daily Chronicles" correspondent at
Cairo states that recent events were a hard

Bazaars that the Turks had crossed the
Canal, but the natives refused to be

official communicates told the truth, and they
thoroughly believed that the Turks suffered
a severe defeat and that Egypt was absolute

by the allied Germans and Austrians in the
middle of the Carpathian woods, where we
captured from the enemy the heights over
which there had been much fighting yester-
day and we took $40 prisoners. In south
west Galicia and Bukowina we won vlctorl-

was repulsed and we captured the heights
north of Delatyn, taking many prisoners.
A Petrograd official communlque states:
"Ihe fighting on the right bank OF the Wis

Further North our troops have fallen back

The Socialists OF the Allied countries have
met in London, Mr.. Keir Hardie presiding,
to discuss the International situation. Peace
was not discussed, us the delegates decided
that amy hope for peace was not to be enter
tanned until German miiitarism had been
crushed. Resolutions We're adopted demanding
that Belgium be liberated and compensated,
that the question Of Poland be settled as the
Polish people wish, and that from Alsace-
Lorraine to the Balkans the peoples annexed
by force shall receive the right and freedom
to dispose OF themselves. Another resolu-
ton declared that although the Allied So
cialists had resolved to night until victory
was achieved, they now resolved to resist any
attempt to transfer this defensive war into a
war Of conquest.

Wilson and Mr.. Bryan are peace loving men,
but public opinion and anti German senti-

sire.
The German warning to neutral shipping
has caused a feeling Of anxiety and suspense
in Scandinavia, which has $50 steamers COM
ing from overseas, Denmark alone expecting
81 vessels FROM the United States loaded
with gram and fodder, the transport OF
which has been secured by a friendly under
standing between Denmark and Great Bri-
tain.
The Berlin newspapers continue their COM
ment, which is generally of q determined ma
ture, but friendly, an example of the conspi-
cuous exceptions being "Die Post, which
says: ''When something does not suit the
Yankees, they are accustomed to adopt as
frightful and sabre rafting a tone as posi-
BILE, because they reckon that the person
thus treated will let himself be frightened
and give IN, but if the person thus treated
shows that he is not to be scared into a
state of funk. the staggering Yankees soon

Count Reventlow, in an article in the
'EHages Zeitung' says: 'The request of the
United States that ships should be searched
before action is taken against them shows
that people in Washington do not, or will
not, comprehend the German measure. We
have SO often demonstrated the impossibility
Of search, that Washington must know this
and therefore the demand of the Note for
search and the establishing of the identity
of neutral merchantmen amounts de facto to
a non-recognition of the German declaration
respecting a war territory. President Will

with Mexican %pretenders, have accustomed
themselves to a tone unsuitable for commu-
nications with the German Empire.
