sick in the seventh century while on a pilgraimage to Rome built him cell 1000 feet up the mountain side, and. upon his recovery, vowed to de- vote his life to the conversion of the mountain tribes Around his cell there has grown up a city of more than 30,OOO, which bears his name, and which is known to the dry-goods buyers of all countries.
 An abbey was built, and its Irish monks, distinguished throughout Flu rope for their devotion to learning, here made a safe retreat for their studies. Centuries before the Renais- sance, the monks of St. Gallen studied both Greek and Latin, and painstak- ingly copied many of the ancient texts. These manuscripts are still preserved in the library of St. Gall, and they form a priceless nucleus of it's collec- tionS.
 Considerable American capital has been attracted to this energetic lit tie manufacturing city. Some of the great factories, with their scores of highly intricate, almost-intelligen machines, are entirely owned by Amer ican manufacturers, who regularly visit their plants, and make prepara- tians for New York's seasonal sup plies. The American consulate at St. Gall is a very busy office, and it has to do almost solely with the embroid- cries and the machine embroidered faces of St. Gall and of the surround ing villages for American consump- tion.'

ASSOCIATED PRESS UPHELD.

Without finding it necessary to bring action Attorney General Gregory has declared that the Associated Press is not a, conspirator in restraint of trade. He finds no ground for prosecution such as was sought by the Sun Print ing and Publishing association under the Sherman antitrust law even though an investigation was made for ascertaining the facts under the charges which were made.
 While the attorney general finds that it is not impossible for such an association to develop into an unlawful monopoly, he does say that such has not happened in the case of the Asso- ciated Press. It is given a clear title under it's methods of doing business, not as the result of a cursorv exam ination but following a searching in- quiry. He finds that ''it Is no violation of the antitrust act for a group of newspapers to collect and distribute news for their common benefit, and to that end to agree to furnish the news collected by them only to each other or to the association; provided that no attempt is made to prevent mem bers from purchasing or otherwise ob- taining news from rival agencies. And if that is true the corro1lary must be true, namely, that newspapers desir- ing to form and maintain such an or ganization may determine who shall be and who shall not be their asso- ciates"
 The investigation of the Associated Press as the result of the Sun com plaints was welcomed because of the knowledge that it's business was being conducted in such a manner as would stand it and the result is therefore only what was expected.

It has done an annual trade in these articles with America of between six and seven millions dol lars a year.

Stories of the War
AeropIane Raid in Warsaw.

An American correspondent was in the rooms of one of the best known Warsaw clubs on the occasion of a recent aeroplane raid. Four men were playing auction bridge. Two bombs were dropped, one within two hundred yards of the club. Two of the men strolled carelessly to the window and watched the two German Taubes VOL plane recklessly from an altitude of about five thousand feet to a distance of approximately two thousand, drop bomb apiece and circle upward and westward, with two Russian aeroplanes in close pursuit. Russian shrapnel was directed at the two German aeroplanes from a battery on the out skirts of the city, but the speed of the aeroplanes was so great that the gray bursts of smoke fell harmlessly in the rear. The other two men in the bridge game were more interested in their hands. These aeroplane raids, have indeed become such commonplace Oc- currences that instead of hurrying in doors, as the residents of the city used to do when the appearance of the Ger man Taubes was an alarming novel, ty, the streets are now crowded with mildly interested spectators, who if they have no other business on hand, make it a point to be on the streets on clear afternoone at two o'clock, at which time the German aeropIanes pear, weather permitting, with uner- ring regularity.
 Before we have tea," says a timid looking Polish woman, let's plan to go out and see the aeroplane raid" One might almost think that it was a sporting event of the season, which it had become fashionable to attend.
 Meanwhile the wounded are brought back from the trenches, and a con- t1nuous line of soldiers, infantry, mounted infantry, cavalry and long provision trains file through the city to take their place in the firing line. But the endless activity, the countless episodes, any one of which would in ordinary times, provoke anxiety and alarm, seem only to act as a stimulant upon the overwrought nerves of this remarkable capital. One soon learns that the nervous laughter which one hears everywhere in Warsaw is not far from a sob, and the apparent un- concern only the pitiful bravery of a nation that has learned not to cry when it is hurt.

 Miss Elliott and her companions made a long journey a couple of days ago to Poperinghe with two of the fourth Army Division Motors loaded with provisions and clothes We hospital for typhoids Gall refugees she said, and she is convinced that we came in answer to prayer for she told me she had simply knelt down and prayed for help that morning and To, two utterly strange women turned up One little girl died when we were there and she has had twenty @ deaths in two weeks. The patients come in such an emaciated state from privation that a large percentage of them can not be cured
 There is, scarcely any food up this way you see-the needs of the army are so great and the civilians are pushed on by the military authorities as fast as possible to get them out of the fighting zone but there are always thousands left behind. Commander sent me up one of the Naval Air Serv- ice Motors and an extra chauffeur for week, so I am flying about deliver ing food and clothing in large quan- titles to the local burgomasters in the little villages, and you can imagine how glad they are to see us even though women are not usually vel conled at the front.

We see everybody who goes to and from headquarters, and tomorrow night, Prince Alexander of Tecl1, the Duke of Sutherland, and Col. Bridges (the uncrowned King of Belgiun) are all dining on the barge. We cook the dinner of course and never have anything but an oil cloth table cover and paper napkins, but the food is good. Our dining room and kitchen are all in one but it is spot less and the gleaming pots and pans make a charming background

DEER

An opposition to the protection of the deer has always been manifested. It has steadily increased as the ex- perience with them has doubled and trebled until at the present time lit tie opposition Is manifested to the legislation which has been proposed for reducing the number which is oveN- running the state and causing an end less amount of damage and needless expense.
 Connecticut hasn't engaged in pro- duce and fruit raising to such an ex- tent that it is able as yet to supply the demands of its citizens. The op- portunity for 1t exists, but discour- agement rather than encouragement is fostered by the propagation of deer, which roam the state destroying crops and young trees. They are pretty creatures and it is a delight to see them browsing on a hillside or clear ing fence as they enjoy the pro- lection of Connecticut's law, but there is small recompense to those whose property they destroy. Such a thing would not be tolerated if an equal number of cattle was turned loose to get living off the titled or untitled areas of Connecticut.
 Thus there Is nothing astonishing about the change of front towards the deer and the failure of anyone to ap- pear in their behalf against bills which are presented to bring about a reduc- tion in their number. Connecticut in the first place Is no state for the rais- ing of deer for the purpose of hunt ing them. It is too thickly settled, and experience with the law protecting them indicates that 1t was an unwise step and the quicker steps are taken to keep down the number the easier will be the accomplishment and less will be the danger connected there 1nrith

The enemy's guns had got the range of it very we'll Moreover an aviator's bomb had gone through the roof of the library and wrecked the library and throne room. The chapel royal which had been made a sort of headquarters for the enemys pillagers, was in an indescribable state of chaos. Clothes, china, stuffed birds, pictures, state papers, and thousands of other things were filtered about. In one corner was a collection of unnum- bered bottles of all sorts of medicine for the cure of rheumatism, which the looters had brought from the royal apartments-the old king is a martyr to rheumatism, and has apparently tried everything that is sold anywhere for it.
 Tt is an interesting fact that in the population of Serbia men have always predominated considerably, and even this war. with it's hideous losses, will only balance the proportion of sexes"
