This is Lieutenant Brauer, either
first officer or executive officer of the
Prinz Eitel Friedrich, the interned
German war vessel at Norfolk, who
has been missing for some time, not
withstanding the implied promise of
the commander of the vessel to keep
all his men within reach. 1t is be-
lieved by the Federal authorities that
Brauer has left the country with
some other members of the crew.
Collector Hamilton at Norfolk has
learned that Brauer left the vessel
before she was officially interned.
The commander, he said, promised
that none of his men would leave the
ship without guard, and Admiral
Beatty had given permission for the
officers to go about in territory
restricted to Newport News and near
by places. Brauer, the commander
now admits, is not on the vessel.

famous English ruins, dating
back to the Bronze Age, is to be sold
at public sale would have caused
much discussion throughout Great
Britain and undoubtedly some effort
would have been made to have the
government purchase it. 1t is an in
teresting commentary on conditions
in England that the property is to go
under the auctioneer's hammer in
September without a murmur. Pos
sibly more public interest would have
been displayed even now had It not
been for a law passed several years
ago giving the state power to inter-
vene at any time for the protection
from sale, removal or injury of any
monument in private hands which
there is reason to believe is in danger
and this has been construed to cover
Stonehenge.
The property to be sold includes g.
400 acres OF farm land, the estate OF
the Antrobus family. The principa,

ing as steamboat captain he managed
to save $4,000. His wife, who was
equally as frugal and economical saved
$4,000 by keeping a hotel. With this
first $1S, ZOO Vanderbilt bought a con-
trolling interest in a steamship. The
result was that within a few years he
owned other ships, and in time railroads
and various transportation lines.
An interesting and illuminating object
lesson in the value of waste products,
which have been the source of more than
one great income, may be found in an
experiment tried out in one of the
schools of Berlin.
The teachers in this school instructed
the pupils to gather up all waste articles
and apparently worthless things that
they could find on their way to and
from school such as metal scrap, tin foil,
bottles, paint tubes, etc. During the
first school year OF this experiment these
school children brought in an enormous
amount of valuable junk, the sale of

TELEGRAPH PERISCOPE

A papermnl at Roaring Springs has
been prosecuted for killing thousands
of fish. Even at that the expense will
be no greater than that of some fishing
trips where the catch can be counted
by the dozen.
-Yeggmen got only $40 from the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Fern Glen.
But then, what looks small to the thief
who gets it looks mighty large to the
freight agent from whom it is stolen.
Usually the fellow who gets on a
skate this season of the year would
do well TO see that there is a roller

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

balance to care for over hundred in
valid children.
This might be done with profit by
school children in every city in America.
1t would be the means of saving many
dollars worth of objects that otherwise
would be wasted. But the great benefit
would come in the training it would give
the pupils in the ways of thrift. They
would be given a demonstration of the
value of saving, and would soon learn to
make the application personal.
We must always consider that thrift is
cumulative and progressive in its develop
ment. The saving of little today makes
it easier to save more tomorrow and so
on. But | hope no one will gain the
idea that thrift means saving only in the
smaller sense. Thrift is putting to the
best possible advantage every penny,
every moment of time and every bit of
moral strength we have.
If we were to trace the history of many
of the beautiful fabrics we see displayed
in shop windows we would discover that
a waste product imported from far.off
India plays an important part in the
manufacture. / have in mind jute waste,
the very same material that is used in
making gunny sacks.
Hundreds of tons of jute is manufac-
tured every year and the waste from the
hbrous substance is enormous. The skin Of
this waste is sotough that it formerly could
not be separated from the fibre and had
to be discarded as hopeless rubbish.
Later, however, process was discovered
whereby the skin was softened to such
an extent as to admit of a carding pro-
cess. This by-product later made for
tune for dealers in it. The waste product
thus produced is eagerly bought by spin
ners who have found il an excellent
mixture in making every kind of cloth

PULLING DOWN THE AMERICAN


[From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.]
IF any man pulls down the American
flag" said the first Governor Dix on
historic occasion, shoot him on the
spot" This drastic punishment could
hardly be applied to members of Con-
gress and Government officials. But
between the seamen's act fathered by
Mr.. La Toilette and the continued
threats of Secretary McAdoo to revive
the ship purchase bill, the American
flag is being pulled down. on American
vessels in the foreign trade. At a
gathering in New York last week of the
representatives of shipping interests in
the Pacific it was agreed that under
present conditions there is no chance
whatever for an American steamship
company to compete with foreign COM
panies in the Far Eastern trade. The
Pacific Mail announced some. time ago
the suspension of its service in Novem-
ber and it is now stated that the Min
nesota, the largest vessel of American
registry. is to be transferred to a for
eign registry. An event of even greater
Significance is the establishment of a
japanese line between New York and
Aslatic ports via the Canal.

MExICo's CUBAN PARALLEL.

MEXICO finds parallel in Cuba
NI less than twenty years ago.
Conditions are similar and
events seem to be moving in a
parallel course.
President Mckinley, in the winter
of 1S97-9S, issued an appeal to the
American people for starving Cuba.
He headed it with very liberal con-
tribution of his own.
No attempt was made to determine
whether the responsibility rested on
the Weyler policy, or on the Maxine
Gomez policy. The Weyler recon
centration policy was to herd the
peaceful population in concentration
camps, and to treat them as military
prisoners without fulfilling the obli-
cation to feed military prisoners. The
Maximo Gomez policy was to drive
Spain out of Cuba by making the
country uninhabitable through burn
ing the sugar plantations and destroy
ing other means of production.
Both policies worked to the same
end, and Cuba was rapidly becoming
uninhabitable. Hundreds of thou
sands were starving. and the daily toll
of deaths was appalling.
The political situation also offered
some parallel to the present Mexican
situation in that anarchy reigned.
Spain could not make her authority
respected, and the insurgents could
not establish their authority except in
a few localities.
General Weyler had been recalled.
and General Blanco put in his place
as captain general to carry out a
more humane policy, and to secure
the cooperation of the best elements
among the Cubans in administering
the government
Captain General Blanco sought TO
cooperate with the United States in
the distribution Of the relief sup
plies. but his efforts showed how COM
pletely all authority was gone.
The policy of home rule through
the coalition of the best men of the
country also had been adopted by
Spain. The Autonomists, who had
been the original advocates of self
government and who had not taken
the field with the insurgents, were
put in power. A supreme effort was
made to have the radical Spanish
elements and the moderate insurgent
elements coalesce and form a real
! Cuban government. 1t failed.
The attitude of foreign governments
was similar to that which for three
years they have maintained in regard
to Mexico. They sought to protect
the property of their nationals, but
did not propose to interfere in the
struggle between Spain and the re.
lvolted colony lest this should bring
them under the ban of the United
States There were very few instances
in which the lives as we'll as the
property of their nationals were
sacrificed.
j Americans in Cuba were there In
circumstances somewhat similar tc
those who were in Mexico when the
Madero revolution against Diaz broke
out. They were interested in sugal
plantations and in various kinds o,
business.
There was, however, one marked
: difference. No special effort haC
been made by the Spanish Govern
ment to induce them to come t
Cuba. Instead, their welcome haC
been a cool one, and their stay wa
not liked.

Smoke really consists Of minute par

tons of coal annually, which are worth
at least s20.00O,000. 1t is claimed that
smoke ke-consuming arrangements could
save at least one-fifth of this sum.
Smoke also contains a number of VAL
