or school district might petition the

Not more than three propositions
could be submitted to the people at
any one time. According to f. p. Ober-
holtzer. in his work. The Beferen-

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British Statesman's Remarkably Neat Retort to Chairman's Shaft
 of Wit"

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform is well known, but here is one of the neatest retorts he ever made.
 He was addressing a meeting in South Wales, according to Pearson's Weekly, when the chairman, thinking to be witty at the chancellor's expense, remarked to the audience that he was a little disappointed in Lloyd-George's appearance.
 'I had heard so much about Mir. Lloyd-George," he said, that I nat urally expected to meet a big man in every sense; but, as you can see for yourselves, he is very small in stat ure. "'
 Many an orator would have been grievously upset by such an unfortu- nate beginning to the proceedings, but not so Lloyd-George.
 q am grieved to find" he said, with mock seriousness, that your chairman is disappointed in my size, but this is owing to the way you have here of measuring man. In North Wales we measure a man from his chin up, but you evidently measure him from his chin down"
 After that the chairman made no more personal remarks.

AMERICAN STEAMER
 SUNK BY GERMANS
THE EPISODE HAS CREATED WIDESPREAD DISCUSSION
 IN ENGLAND.
C0hTRABAND WAS ON BOARD
This Fact, 1t Is Declared, Did Nor Justify the Destruction of the
 Vessel.

Washington.-Dest of the American ship Leelanaw by German submarine drew sharply to the atten- tion of the United States government the fact that Germany was insisting on her own interpretation of the Prus- sian-American treaty of 1928 in d;sre- garding two American notes on the subject
 In three instances of American ships destroyed or damaged, the Gulflight. the Nebraskan and the William P. Frye, Germany has agreed to pay dam ages and in the last case the Berlin government took the position that it had not violated the treaty of 1928, but had exercised right given her by inference from the language of the past
 Officials of the Washington govern ment were surprised at the destruc- tion of the Leelanaw, but beyond add ing an aggravating incident to the a1- ready strained relations between the two governments. there was no indica- tfon that the case would lead to a new turn in the general situation.
 The fact that the crew of the vessel was saved caused feeling of relief ii official quarters, but there were evi- dences of apprehension if Germany continues to promise payment, yet de stroys more American ships, new situation might be created which would require further warning to the Berlin government.
 The fact that the Leelanaw carried a cargo of flax, declared absolute con- traband by Germany, does not alter the view of the United States govern ment that the contraband might have been removed and the vessel spared. Under the general rules of interna- tional law the destruction of neutral vessel carrying contraband was not admitted until the famous Knight Commander case in the Russo-Japan- ese war The declaration of London in 1909 embodied the principle as ap- plicable in extreme cases but stipulat- ed that passengers and crew must be transferred to place of safety and the case itself later sent to a prize court for determination as to the legal ity of the act

Barnum's Erankness.

On one occasion Barnum had an elephant engaged in blowing on the sloping hill where it could plainly be seen by the passengers on the New Haven and Hartford railroad. an agri- cultural innovation that he knew would get notice of some sort in every newspaper in the country.
 It was even said that he received letters from farmers far and wide asking how much hay one elephant ate. and if it were more profitable to blow with an elephant than with horses or oxen.
 His replies were invariably frank, and were of this purport:
 If you have a large museum in New York. and a great railway com pany sends trains full of passengers within eyeshot of the performance. it will pay, and pay well; but if you have no such institution, then horses or oxen will prove more economical"

EXPRESS COMPANIES
 WIN RATE CASES
WILL BE ALLOWED TO INCREASE THEIR GROSS REVENUE 3.86
 PER CENT.

Washington. The Interstate Com merce Commission decided that the revenues of the principal express conl- panies of the United States are made quate, and modified its former orders to provide additional income.
 The present rates are based on three factors: An allowance Of 20 cents for collection and delivery of each shipment, which does not vary with weight or distance; rail terml- nal allowance of 9 cents per 100 pounds. which varies with the weight, but not the distance; and the rail tran sportation rate per 100 pounds, which varies with the weight, the dis tance and the zone.
 In accordance with the companies petition, the commission modified it's order to permit transpositicn of the first and second factors, increasing the collection and delivery allowance five cents for each shipment and reducing the rail terminal allowance at the rate of one-twentieth of one per cent a pOuI1u. AS llle NelSHl HUI tdpCo ltA1 fve-cent increase gradually is reduced, so that on shipments of more than 100 pounds the readjustment will make no change Substantially no commodity rates will be affected. In all events any change in the rates will, with few exceptions, be substantially lower than those prevailing when the com mission established the zone system in February, 1914.
 By that means the express com panies are expected to increase their gross revenues about 3.S6 per cent. The commissions report shows that the net operating revenues of the four big companies have decreased to a deficit of $1,132,S11 in the year 1914 1915, and in the same period operat- ing income decreased $2,449,S63.
 While the financial condition of certain of the petitioners is more fa- vorable than that of others" says the report, "it clearly appears that as a whole they are operating at loss"
