had died by his own hand.
The body was found by engineers

that brooding over his physical con-
dition led him to commit suicide. Fun
eral arrangements have not been hade.

last year. There will be more tailored
suits than ever before and there is
more and better tailoring on them.
Sands, greens, Belgian blues and the
black-and-white checks will be very
popular. The most radical change in
wome1's wear is in shoes in which
there are some especially smart ef-
fects. All the modish shoes will be
of the straight lace variety. The put
ties and battleship grays seem to lead
in favor. Coverts will be popular for
skirts and suits"

are much given to smaller shapes Of
the popular type called Tipperary
They are susceptible Of pleasing ef.
fects in trimming and the Tipperary
veil will be worn quite universally >

Makes Apology.

Lonuvu, Feb. 18.-Turkey has yield
ed to the demands for satisfaction
made by Greece because of the insult
offered an attache of the Greek lega-
tion at Constantinople. The director
general of the police at CONSTANT
nople visited the Greek legation there
and in the presence Of all the members
of the staff formally expressed regret
at the insult offered. It was promised
that an official communication to the
same effect would be published. The
incident is regarded as closed.
Germans Capture $4,000.
Berlin, Feb. 18.-An official report
says that the Germans have taken as
prisoners in East Prussia $4,000 men.
Cruiser Sinks Merchantmen.
Buenos Aires, Feb. 18.-The Ger
man steamer Holger, just arrived
here, brings news that during the
months of January and February, the
German auxiliary, cruiser, Grown
Prince Wilhelm, operating on the
north coast of Brazil sank the British
steamers Hampshire and Potario and
the sailing ships Sumatra and Will

Kaiser Announces Victory.
Berlin, (via London), Feb. 18.-The
president Of the province of East
Prussia at Koenigsberg has received
the following message from Emperor
William, who has been on the eastern
battlefront: "The Russians are COM
pletely beaten. Our beloved East
Prussia is free from the enemy"
German Reply Friendly.
Berlin, via London), Feb. 18.-The
reply of Germany to the protest of the
United States against a blockade of
British waters is couched in the most
friendly terms, but firmly maintains
the position Germany has already an
nounced. The answer, which is
lengthy document, was converted in
to code at the United States embassy,
under the direction Of Ambassador
Gerard and has been transmitted in
full to Washington. The note explains
that Germany's proposed action is
rendered necessary by Great Britain's
policy of attempting to cut off the food
supply Of the German civil population
by methods never recognized in inter-
national law. England's course in Or
dering merchantmen to fly neutral
flags, equipping them with artillery
and with orders to destroy submarines,
the German reply says, renders mega
tive the right Of search, thus giving
Germany the right to attack English
shipping. =.
