Paying Debts in Germany.

The law against paying debts to persons in the countries with which Germany is at war not only applies to Germans, but also to such foreign CTS as may be resident in Germany according to the most recent court ruling.
 A Chilean in Berlin. a member of a firm that before the war did a large European business, recently was ar- raigued and fined $z5 because he had attempted to arrange, by correspond ence, to settle debt of $5.000 which his concern owed to England. He made no attempt to send the money from Berlin, but sought to have it de- spatched to England from Chile.
 He argued in his defense that the German law did not apply to foreign CTS who might owe money in foreign countries. and that Germany had no right to Jurisdiction over countries of which she was not one. Though the prosecuting attorney asked for a fine of but $5, the court imposed the larg- CT sum because the Chilean sought to swell the possessions of the enemy and because the debt he tried to settle was so large.

ELks.

The Connecticut section of the New York Sunday Herald says: Thomas E. Donohue of New London. the newly elected grand tyler of the grand lodge of Elks.
 The party of Connecticut Eiks who Journey to the coast to attend the grand lodge reunion in Los Angeles. Cal.,- and the exposition in San Fran cisco, will return this week. They will swell the elatiou of Nutmeg Donohue, of New London. as grand tyler of the national order.
 When Mir. Donohue was elected grand inner guard a year ago it was said that the honor conferred on him was merely a manifestation of the habit of the grand lodge to recog- uize occasionally Connecticut mem Der of the fraternity, and that 1t would be long time before another national office came to this state.
 1t was noted in these columns on Feb. 21, 1915. following the annual banquet of New York lodge, No. 1. to the grand lodge offers, that at this affair Tt was the consensus of Eaks who ought to know that James R. Nicholson of Boston, would be elected grand exalted ruler at Los Angeles in July"
 To those who appreciate what rare event 1t is for an eastern man to head an order controlled for many years by the west. it seemed in credible that the grand lodge would select two of it's officers from New England. The election of Mir. Dono- hue, therefore, is the more note worthy, and he has a double distinc- ton. He is the first Connecticut Elk to hold two national offices in the order.
 MT. Donohue Is one of the repubI can leaders of New London. He was B. candidate for the office of factory inspector a few months ago. This office and that of commissioner of the bureau of labor statistics were con-. solidated, however, by the late general assembly into the office of the com missioner of labor and factory inspec- ton.
 . Donohue was not an aspirant for
 eew office. That went to William
 rde of Manchester, the leader of >Qfae Aast house, who was on the Ind. MT. Hyde's salary is only $s,600, which Is $2,000 less than the two merged offices paid. His deputy is William E. Duncan of Southington.
 Mir. Donotue is sea1er of weights and measures in New London.
