quoter of the sentiment commends it
as especially applicable to those col.
lege men who look upon frternity
privileges as inviting them to "incon-
sequent and foolish play, the dissipa-

among the members of the fraterni-

Curae Of idleness.

Idleness is the badge of gentry. and
the bane of body and mind, the nurse
of naughtiness, the stepmcther OF dis

the cushion upon which the devil
chiefly reposes.

Police men traiIedr Steatka to: his home by following spots of blood which had dripped from the cut finger. He was in bed sound asleep. On being awak- ened he protested being accused of the theft and said he had been in bed for some time. A police sergeant who was present ordered one of the policemen to question Steatka's bed mate who was tucked under the blank cts, apparently fast asleep.
 On lifting the bedc1othes, the po- Iiceman discovered that the bedmate of Steatka was the stolen pig.

DANUBE OPENING A MARKED EXAMPLE OF PREPAREDNESS
 OF GERMANS IN WAR TIMES

Belgrade, Serbia, Dec. 17.-What great military and economic advan-. tages were gained by the Germans and their allies with the opening of traff1c on the Danube, has been shown by the activity in shipping which de- veloped directly the Serbs had been driven from the banks of the river. Sighting along the Danube was still in progress when the Austrians started to clear a channel through the mine fields which the Russians. Serbs and English had laid out-s1 Meanwhile large tows, carrying military supplies needed by Turkey and Bulgaria, were being brought down the river from Austro-Hungarian and German ports and assembled at Semlin, ready for the minute when navigation became possible. Austrian river monitors, notably the Sava and Temes, had ie the meantime patroI1ed the Danube aS far as Lom Pa1anka and later to Ruschuck. both Bulgarian ports, and in so doing hd cleared the river of some Russian armed merchant vessels Stationed in the Rumanian port of Tu- rin-Severzn- That these vessels were not sunk or captured by the Austrians is due to the fact that, on the day which the Associated Press correspon- dent made the trip up the river as 9
 
 conveyed down stream by Rumanian monitors the Russians themselves fly ing the Runanian flag.
 The Bulgarian port of Lom Pa1an- ka was the scene of great activity. For over fifteen months no boats from up stream had arrived there Now the petties were crowded with barges from Austria. and Germany. On the pre- vsous day King Ferdinand of Bulga- ria and Premier Radoslavof had been at Lom Pa1anka to assist in the re- sumption of traffic between Bu1ga- ria and the Central Powers, an event which Germany and Austria Hungary thought important enough to have in- augurated by Duke AIbrecht of Meek 1enburg, brother-fn-law\ of Emperor William who was a passenger on the first convoy arriving.
 For the first two weeks nothing but military supplies were shipped down stream. principally arms and ammu- hilton for Bulgaria and Turkey. Both these countries stood in need of heavy artillery and artillery ammunition. Some of the later boats brought a large number of heavy eHnotor trucks. combat and scout aeroplanes, arnbu- lar1ces and sanitary supplies
 Since then ordinary merchandise has been admitted to shipment. The returning barges and boats. carry raw material of all sorts and food stuffs. During the last few days a regular passenger and mail service to Lon Pa lanka has been in operation, until to- day trafic on the Danube may De considered normal with the difference that never before had it known such proportions. The military supplies of which Bulgaria and Turkey can make use. are many, and .en the other hand, Adstriaz Hungary and Germany offer an eager market for the agricu1- turaI and animal industry products of the two first mentioned countries
 Some anxiety had been felt in Con- stantinop1e and lately in Sofia that the heavy demand which the war made on their relatively scant stores of arti1- lery ammunition might soon create a problem it would be dif1culta to solve in case free route of communication
