BRITISH MERCHANTMEN
LOADED FOR BEAR

Washington, Feb 15.--According to
absolutely reliable information, British
merchant ships intend TO oppose armed
resistance to German men of war in
|the area declared as war zone by the
German admiralty. Some OF these ships
were already armed with British naval
guns. Now all the others are speedily
equipped in similar way. Merchant
ships have been instructed to sail In
groups and to ram German submarines
while the examination is proceeding,
or, should the marines lay alongside, to
throw bombs upon them. or else TO at
tempt to overpower the examining
party coming on board. A very high
premium has been offered for the de-
struction OF the first German subma-
rine by British marchant vessel
Therefore, British ships cannot any
more be considered as undefended. so
that they may be attacked by German
war vessels without warning or search.
The British admitted that instructions
have been given to misuse neutral
flags. 1t is almost certain that Brit
ish merchant vessels will by all means
try to conceal their identity. Thereby
1t has also become almost impossible
TO ascertain the Identity of neutral
ships, unless they sail in daylight under
convoy. as all measures suggested by
neutrals, for instance painting OF the
ships in the national colors, may be
promptly initiated by British ships. The
attacks to be expected by masked
British merchant vessels may make
search impossible as the examining
party and the submarines themselves
would thereby be exposed to destruc-
ton.
NcutraIs Endangered.
Under these circumstances the
sa fety OF neutral shipping in the war
zone around the British Isles is seri-
ously threatened. There is also an in
creased danger resulting from mines
as these will be laid in the war zone
to great extent Accordingly. neu-
trial ships are most urgently warned
against en-. ring that area. while the
course around Scotland will be safe.
Germany has been compelled 70
resort To this kind of warfare by the
murderous ways of British naval war
fare. which aims at the destruction of
legitimate neutral trade. and at the
starvation Of the German people. Ger
man. will DO obliged to adhere to the
announced principles till England sub
mits TO the recognized rules of war
Sare. esta bhshed by the declaration OF
Paris and London. or till she Is COM
PEELED to do SO by the neutral pow

COMPENSATION OF WORKMEN
Bill to Be Introduced in Senate and
House Monday Night

Representative A. c. Stein, of Ale.
gheny, to whom was delegated the task
of drafting the new workmen s compen-
sation act, announces that it will be
introduced in the House and Senate on
Monday night next.
1t consists of three sections, the first
containing the fundamental theory of
the law, which is that all production
shall bear the cost of injury and acci-
dent to the employe.
Under the Pennsylvania Constitution,
compulsory act is not possible, but
every provision is made in the measure
for depriving employers of excuses for
not accepting it. To this end the de.
fenses of ''feliow servant, "assump-
ton of risks" and contributory negli.
gerce are taken away. Tine act pro-
vidcs that all employees shall be COM
pensated for injury, the only exceptions
being for drunkenness and reckless in
difference to danger.
The act contains a schedule of COM
pensation which has been carefully
worked out. No compensation is al
lowed for the first Ia days, but in lieu
thereof the employer must furnish med
ical attention to the value of $25. The
COMPENSATION is to be one-half the
weekly wages earned, but not to be
less than So nor more than $40 week.
In case of death the compensation is
continued for about 800 weeks.

CAPITOL HML
SUBSTITUTE FOR HEN FRUIT
State Flooded With Connections Alleged
to Be Good Articles of Food to
Take Place of Eggs

Two more bogus EGG" powders have
been brought to the ken of Pure Food
Commissioner Foust, and it seems that
the state is being flooded with substi-
tutes for the real hen fruit. The two
new concoctions were sent to the Pure
Food department last week when an
expose was made of an article that was
being offered as substitute for egg
which professed to be part egg, but
which was analyzed and found to con-
tain no egg and poisonous dyestuff to
give it color.
The two new preparations were also
analyzed and found to contain corn
starch and analine dye, and the decree
has gone forth that their sales must be
stopped at once. The chemists report
that both are fakes and rank frauds
and that an ounce of corn starch is
represented to contain the nutriment
of dozen eggs. The unsuspecting are
purchasing the stuff all over the state,
and unless the sale is stopped after due
warning number of arrests will be
made,

When Charlemagne Took Bath

Like so many of the European warm
springs and bathing places, Baden
Baden was first appreciated by the
Romans. The Emperor Caracalla in
especial honored it by his patronage
and adorned it in various Roman ways.
With the fall of the empire and the ar
rival together of the barbarians and
Christianity, bathing and, above all,
bathing in warm water, fell into disuse
all over Europe as an enfeebling and
immoral practice. 1t was only when
whose name was one to
conjure with, dipped his imperial per-
son in the hot springs of Aix.la-Cha-
pelle that bathing, after seven CEN
turies of disuse, became again permis-
sible, if not almost desirable. From
that time on, with varying fortunes.
