saIzac,a Hatred Of Tobacco.

Perhaps no celebrated author was
more hostile toward tobacco than
Balzac. 1t is true that Lamartine
speaks of the novelist's teeth as black
ened by cigar smoke, but Lamartine
was not intimate with Balzac. Gau-
tier on the other hand knew him we'll
and wrote eloquently about his hatred
of tobacco Balzac's ruling passion
was coffee, which injured him and
perhaps killed him. In some of his
novels he mathematics tobacco.
When he allows some of his characters
to smoke there is yelled contempt. "As
for De Marsay, he was busted In
smoking his cigars"

twice as large as usual and there will

crop here this year is that it is being

years potato ground has been mostly
new ground without humus and harder

Washington, D. C.-Press reports Of
the torpedoing of the American
steamer Gulflight and the loss of her
captain and some members of the crew
created a stir in official circles here,
where the seriousness of the occurrence
was. everywhere admitted.
In the absence of President Wilson,
officials made no comment as to the
probable action of the United States
government, beyond saying that a
thorough inquiry as to the manner of
the torpedoing and the responsibility
for it would first be required before a
decision could be reached as to the
kind of representations to be made.
If first reports are borne out, the at
tack on the Gulfight constitutes the
first case of an American ship struck
by torpedo, with the consequent loss
of lives. Two American vessels have
been sunk by mines, the responsibility
for which never has been fixed, and
one American, Leon c. Thresher, was
drowned when the British ship Falaba
was torpedoed.
1t was generally recalled that in the
note sent by the United States to Ger
many in answer to Germany's procla-
nation of war zone around the Bri-
tish Isles and Ireland, the Washington
government asserted that it would hold
the German government ito a strict
accountability" for the loss of any
American lives or vessels, the phrase
ology being SO drawn as to cover at
tacks on belligerent vessels on which
Americans were travelling.
