A LUMP sum

n LVWT OOM
At a dinner table the other day
some one quoted that delightful
story of the usher who, reproved for
announcing family of, say, four
teen with all their Christian names
separately and at length while
string of people waited impatiently,
grouped Mr., Mrs. and Miss Penny
into laconic Three Pence
This led to the recital of another
somewhat similar situation. The
butler announced: 'Mr. TootIe."
Then suddenly perceiVing Mrs. Too
tie, who had stepped aside for a mo-
ment, he further announced: "And
Mrs, Tootle, too"

saying that you were meant for an

them. Closer cooperation between the
two governments will have good re-
suits
Foreign Secretary Grey's reply was
just what every Briton will approve
who warmly desires the friendship OF
the United States but who also is de-
termined that no legitimate weapon
shall be sheathed which can be used
to bring the war to a speedy and sue
cessful conclusion
The Globe expresses the opinion
that Sir Edward Grey's frank ana
friendly reply goes in some directions
even further toward meeting thu
wishes of the United States than some
of US think prudent" Continuing, the
Globe suggests that the principal trou-
bic over the question of contraband
has arisen through the change in the
American practice and the present pro-
hibition of the publication of ships
manifests until thirty days after the
vessels have left American ports. IN
this connection the paper says:
If the consequent detention is in
convenient and injurious to American
trade, the American government has
the remedy in its own hands

London. Jan. u.-1s.5l P. M.-The Lon
donafternoon papers, commenting on the
reply OF Foreign Secretary Grey to the
American note concerning unwarranted
interference with American shipping, are
unanimous in calling attention to Great
Britains debt of gratitude to the United
states and her desire to repay it by in
terferring with Amerisan trade as little
as is necessary to secure the safety of
this country and her allies.
The papers take the ground that the
foreign secretary's facts and figures.
unless they can be explained or rebuked
prove that enormous supplies necessary
to the prosecution OF the war haven
reached the enemy under cover Of neu-
trail trade. The Westminster Gazette
says:
"A belligerent is guarding his own
interests. No obligation rests upon a
neutral to help belligerent or to prevent
the embarkation of contraband. We do
not wish to throw the slightest RESPONSE
bility on the United States; but in deal
ing with friendly neutral we can in a
variety OF ways consult his convenience
and the people Of the United States may
be assured that we will do whatever is
possible to mitigate the state of war to

CANAL C0MMIS'N

MODEL OF WORK

Washington, Jan. 11.-Members OF
the isthmian canal commission had
before them today for inspection what
is said to be the largest relief map
ever made. representing the Panama
canal on scale of one foot to a mile
The map. which is fifty feet by ten,
was completed by George Robertson
of this city, to whom the contract for
the work was given b ythe commits
sion. 1t will shortly be shipped to the
Panama-Pacific Exposition.
The map is in the natural colors of
the canal zone, aiming to give the i'm
preston one would get Of it from an
aeroplane. Locks, buoys. range lights,
breakwaters, even the Cucuracha
slide in the Culebra cut are faithfully
shown. Many large buildings in the
towns nearby are also represented. The
only thing lacking in the model is
the Notifications which will protect
the canal. the disposition Of these be-

Paris, Jan. il, 2.40 p. M.-The state

flee this afternoon shows a continual
ton at certain points of intermittent
cannonading, but these artillery duels
do not appear yesterday to have

particular activity or important de-
velopments.

From the sea to the Lys there was
yesterday an intermittent and not

gion of Ypres our artillery responded

From the Lys to the Oise in the

bad YEAR FOR
DIAMOND TRADE

Kimberley, Union of South Africa,
Dec. 2.-(Correspondence Of The AS
ISOLATED Press).-"The past year has
been bad one for the diamond trade,
and the DeBeers Co., will probably
pass it's dividends at the close Of the
fiscale year ending June 80 next"
Such was the statement Of Chairman
Francis Gates at the annual meeting
Of the DeBeers shareholders. Dia-
monds are a luxury said the chairman
and not only has the demand been
less. but the prices lower as the re-
suit Of the war. The company may
have to close down entirely soon owing
to the fact that there is already a
large stock Of diamonds on hand.

Speaking for the delegations, Miss
Adams told the President that many
foreigners, who could not pass the

dropped on Dunkirk all day Sunday by
aeropianes. They came from all di-
rections and were met by heavy
shrapnel fire. Two of the raiders were

In spite of the long ordeal, the pop

Six persons were killed in Dunkirk

has not been confirmed. 1t appears
that the absence of a large number of
French aeroplanes from Dunkirk must
have been known to the Germans.
