FIVE SHIPS SUNK;
CREWS ALL SAFE
Four British and One Greek
Vessel Lost, Says
London.

London, Dec. 1.-The British steam
ship Malinche, whose crew was re-
ported yesterday TO have reached hsr-
Dor in two lifeboats, has been sunk.
Reuter- dispatch from Malta says
the British steamer Colenso was sent
to the bottom by an Austrian subms-
rine on Tuesday morning, and that ap-
parently the submarine was the same
one which sank the British steamers
Malinche and Tanis. The crew OF thir-
ty-two men was allowed ten minutes to
abandon the ship, which was then
blown up. They got away in nine boats
and arrived at Malta on Wednesday
afternoon. The British steamer Orange
Prince was also reported sunk.
A dispatch to "The Daily Telegraph
from Athens says a British coast de-
fence gunbost in Egyptian waters has
been sunk by a German submarine.
The Greek steamship Tariffs has been
sunk. Her crew was landed at Malta.
Reports received by the Board OF
Trade during November tell or the
sinking Of fifty-three British steamers,
with a total net tonnage of 6l,072, and
the loss of 646 lives. In the same
period the loss was reported of thirty
FIVE British sailing vessels, of 4,977 net
tonnage, and six lives. So far as the
figures show, only twenty of the steam
ers were sunk by German warships and
ten by mines, but 495 of the lives lost
were on steamers sunk by German war
ships.
These figures do not record the total
casualties for November, but merely
the reports received, some of which re-
late TO previous months.
The Malinche, 1868 tons gross, prob
ably was sunk by a submarine in the
Mediterranean, where the German and
Austrian underwater craft have in
licted heavy losses recently on ship
ping Of the Allies.
The Colenso, 2,532 tons, sailed from
Middlesboro on October % for Hull,
where she arrived on October 81.
The latest maritime records show
that the Orange Prince, 2,296 tons, was
at Liverpool on October 7.
The Tariffs, 1904 tons gross, was
built in 1901. She was 324 feet long.

FINALLY KNEW HIS VISITOR
Meeting Of President Thiers and
French Soldier q Sample Of
country's Democracy.

Monsieur Theirs, the first president
of the third French republic, is the
subject Of the following amusing
enecdote:
The president went to visit MARI
settles, his native city, and one day.
while wandering through the streets,
he saw a sentinel in front Of the Mon
taux barracks who had set his gun
aside and, squatting in his sentry box,
was enjoying huge piece of bread
and cheese. The president approached
the man and said:
ETH, bien, my friend, is the regi-
mental food good enough?"
why dost thou ask2" rejoined the
soldier, employing the familiar second
person singular.
Because 1t interests me considera-
bly," replied the president.
The soldier thought his questioner
was probably some member Of the
regiment, but since he was wearing
civilian clothes 1t was no part Of the
sentry's duty to salute him. To each
question as to whether he was cor
poral, sergeant, lieutenant or captain
the president replied that he was
greater than that. When the sentry
with his mouth full Of cheese, said:N
well, then you must be the gem
eral." The president replied, "TR'
generals obey me-"
you want to make me believe yoI
are the minister of war;" exclaimed
the astonished soldier.
II am more than minister Of war,
replied the president, blandly.
Then you can't be anyone but Pa
pa Theirs. Here, take the bread and
cheese, while I present arms to you!'

MUSIC AND LANGUAGE WORDS
WelI.known Musician Explains the
Divisions Known 40 Melody
and Harmony.

AS you know, the single notes are
the letters of the music language.
Groups Of notes are the words of the
music language. In a spoken language,
the letters are always sounded one
after the other. In the music language
they are sometimes sounded one after
the other and sometimes simultan-
eously.
This fact explains two important d.
visions Of music, namely, melody and
harmony. In a general way, melody
consists Of single tones heard one after
the other; combinations Of tones heard
simultaneously are called harmony. A
word of the music language may con-
sist of several tones in succession like
word Of the spoken language, which
consists of several letters in success
sion.
On the other hand, a word of the
music language may consist of several
tones heard simultaneously which is
impossible in language. Some of the
most important words Of the music
language are those which are used
in both these ways, and it is one of the
great charms of music that it's words
can be heard in these two ways.-Dr.
Rudolf Won Liebich, in Woman's World.

RODRIGUEZ SHOWS POWER OF
MARSHALL FIELD ESTATE

Connections of the Marshall Field
estate with the city government of
Chicago was discussed by William E.
Rodriguez, candidate for alderman
18th ward, at Old Style Inn last night.
1.-THE Chicago & Western Indiana
railroad has stolen 214 acres of land
inside the city limits" he said. 1.-THE
city map department has made a re-
port which shows that is the amount
of land encroached on and Illegally
occupied by the railroad.
According to reliable exhibit en-
tered as testimony by the railway
brotherhoods in the arbitration hear
ing, the chief owner of the c. & W. l.
is the Merchants Loan & Trust Co.,
which holds II 900 out of the $4,000
shares of stock.
"The Marshall Fiel destate owns
the Merchants Loan & Trust Co. The
Field estate is getting profits that
come in part through land stolen
from the people of Chicago"

The Chicago Telephone Co. de-

PROSPECTS FOR 1916.
(From Newspaperdom.)


The advertising pages of the news
papers always indicate the trend OF
the times among general business in
terests. During the last months of
1914 and the early months Of 1915
newspaper advertising was at low ebb
in volume. With the approach of
September, hundreds of national ad-
vertisers began turning new accounts
loose; those advertisers who stuck to
the newspapers when business ap-
peared at its worst began increasing
their expenditures, and local advertis-
ers again started hustling for bust
ness through the newspapers. The re-
suit has been that within three or four
months the greater percentage of the
newspapers of the country have gone
back to normal advertising records.
Newspaperdom has received many re-
ports from publishers in different
parts of the country saying that moro
and larger contracts have already been
secured for 1916 than for any previous
year in the history of their publica-
tons.
