LONDON CALLS NOTE
FIRM, BUT PACIFIC"
Wilson's Reply to Germany Divides
Interest of British with Re-
ported Russ Victory.
TEUToNs BELIEVED CHECKED


LONDON, June 12.-The Ameri-
can note to Germany, which is con-
sidered here as firm but pacific"
divided the interest Of the British
public with the successful Russian
counter thrust against the Austro-
German lines in Galicia. When
placards of the evening newspapers
announced the receipt of the note
there was a general rush for copies
as the text had been anxiously
awaited. 1t arrived too late, how
ever, for comment in the evening
editions.
The Russian success naturally has
caused qualification and relief and now
military experts expect that there will be
a repetition in Galicia of what occurred
before Warsaw last winter when the Ger
mans suffered enormous losses In their
efforts to break the Russian front on
the Bzura and Rawka rivers. AS on that
occasion Russian reinforcements arrived
in time to force back portion of Cen
eral Linsingen's army which had crossed
the Dniester river, near Zurawna. before
II could be strengthened ana entrenched.
TeutOn Reports silent.
The German and the Austrian reports
make no mention of the fighting in this
region, but from an account issued in
Petrograd the Austro-Germans must have
suffered very heavy reverses to have lost
seventeen guns and 1000 prisoners.
In fact military men express the be-
lief that very few of those who crossed
the river could have escaped
The Russians also claim that further
up the Dniester. directly south of Lem
berg, they have pressed their opponents
back and have taken another 1000 pris-
oners while near Mosciska to the east of
Przemysl they say the Germans suffered
very severely when they attacked the
Russian position. In eastern Galicia and
in Bukowina the Russians continue to
fall back to the Dniester under the Aus
trian pressure.
Following the example of the Italians.
who occupied Avlona. an Albanian port
on the Straits of Otranto, the Serbians
are marching across northern Albania to-
wards the port Of Durazzo, while the
Montenegrins are making for the port
of Alesseo. still farther north.
Overrun with Bands.
run by bands which it is alleged were or
ganized by Austrians and Turks to harass
Serbia, and in fact these bands have moro
than once invaded Serbian territory. The
opinion Is generally expressed here that
these occupations will spell the end of
Albanian integrity.
Heavy fighting continues along the Ital-
ian frontier, particularly on the River
ozonso. where the Austrians are making
their most determined effort to stem the
Italian advance.
Today's toll exacted by German subma-
rines is five vessels: The British steamer
5trathcarron, the Russian steamer Dania.
the Swedish steamer otago, the Russian
bark Thomasina and the British trawler
Intrepid. A British warship also was
attacked by a submarine in the Adriatic.

a Hanel,.,ri4iyo Teet.

'sTt Is a curious fact, said a promi- nent handwriting expert the other day, --tllat if a document were put before me and I were asked the sex of the writer should probably fail. People generally are accustomed to think that the masculine or feminine tempera- ment will readily betray itself in writ ing. but l assure you such is not the case. Bold, black and firm penmanship will frequently be found the character istic of a woman, while delicate writ ing. indicating a lively fancy, expected in woman. will belong to member of the opposite sex. You can test this statement for yourself Take. say, twenty envelopes written by people you know and number them carefully. Pass them around and see how many will name correctly the sex of the writ CTS. You will seldom find that more than one-third of the guesses will be right"

Doubt and Prooress.

If on any point we have attained to certainty we make no further inquiry on that point. because inquiry would be useless. The doubt must intervene. before the investigation can begin We have the act of doubting as the necessary antecedent of all progress. Here we have that skepticism the very name of which is an abomfna- ton to the ignorant, because it dis turbs their complacent minds. because it imposes on them the fatigue of in- quiry and because it rouses even slug gish understanding to ask if things are as they are commonly supposed and if all is really true which they from their childhood have been taught to bel1eve.-From Buckles History of CiFiliza tion.'' is...ssisyss-z ssa~

.Aaron Raneroft,s CosnpIinsent.


 Aaron Bancroft. the father of the great American historian. was a Mas sachusetts clergyman who revolted against the stern theology of the day. The young minister found himself held at arms length by the surrounding clergy. In .sThe Life and Letters of George Bancroft, MT. M. A. De W. Howe quotes the following item from the old minister's Memoranda"
 ''An honest but not very intelligent farmer of my parish some ten years ago accosted me in this manner:
 Well, Mir Bancroft, what do you think the people of the old parish say of you now?'
 q answered. T hope something very good
 .sThey say. If we find fault with him he does not mind it at all, and if we praise him he does nea mind it, but keeps steadily on his own way We therefore have concluded that itIs best to let him alone.
 'The farmer mentioned the fact as subject of laughter. but thought and still think that, taking the declara- ton in it's Bearings. it was the prettiest compliment l have received through my whole ltfe.''

Boats Without Metal.

Without nails, crews or bolts the ingenious natives of Anam, country lying south Of China within the French protectorate. are able to build strong. light boats, some of them of large size, containing no metal of any kind, says Popular Mechanics. Their sampans, as the native boats are called. are made of five blanks joined together without curytng or the use of ribs from one end to the other. TheN blanks used are pierced at intervals of about eight inches at points directly opposite each other. These perforations form mor- tises in the shape of double eyelets, through which rattan ropes are passed. tightly binding them together. The joints are calked with vegetable fiber. and over these joints are laid short lengths of board. tapping over one an- other These act as st1ffeners, strongly re-enforcing the boat from end to end and making it water tight
