John Barrymore, the actor, was
talking about Germany's submarine
policy in New York.

cans might cross the seas in safety
provided we used such ships as she
offered, l nearly died laughing" he
said.
Il was irresistibly reminded of the
poet who complained to his landlord:
Landlord, | really must insist on
your repairing my doors and win
dows. They close so badly that it in
terrupts my work. 1t blows my hair

Thought Umbrellas Unmilitary.

Umbrellas and khaki seem a most
unlikely combination; yet one in
stance is recorded of British soldiers
taking their umbrellas into action, ac-
COrding to the London Chronicle On
December 10. 1913, during the battle Of
the Nive, the Grcnadicr guards cap
tured redoubt outside BayOnne.
While they were in possession OF this
Wellington passed by and noticed that
the officers had umbrellas up to pro
tect themselves from the heavy rain.
He sent back his aide-de-camp,
Lord Arthur Hill, to tell them that
the duke does not approve of the use
of umbrellas in action. The guards
officers may. if they pleace. carry UNI
brcllas even in uniform when on duty
at st. James: but in the field it is not
only ridiculous. but unmilitary."

Man Lives Seven Hours

LORD CURzON DENIES

Says Prices Are Lower and Deliver

lean Banking Firm
By Associated Press

London, June 24.-That the bank
ing firm of ]. P. Morgan & Co., as
agents of the British government in
America received a commission of two
per cent. and all expenses but have
had no monopoly and that the ex-
perience of the British government
mas been that in consequence of ar
rangements with the Morgan firm,
American supplies of ammunition were
obtained more cheaply than pre-
Viously, with earlier delivery, was the
announcement made by Lord Curzon
In the House of Lords last night.
Lord Curzon made this statement
In replying to criticisms of Lord Dav-
enport, who complained that Cana
dian firms ready to supply munitions
had been referred to the Morgan COM
pany and declined to act through that
channel Davenport asserted also that
Canadian firms had been told all gov
ernment contracts already had been
placed, mentioning one case in which
he said Canadian firm thus rebuffed
had applied at Petrograd and instant
ly obtained an order for 100000
shells.
Lord Curzon, in reply. said all such
Canadian offers had been referred to
the Canadian government and that
! there had been no direct conference
with individuals. He asserted that
there was no foundation for the idea
that the governments agreement with
the Morsans prevented that firm from
obtaining contracts in Canada. The
government entered into an agree
ment with the Morgans. Lord Curzon
declared, because prior to that time
nigh prices were demanded and de-
liveries almost invariably were late.

To Visit Every Farm
DR.. Raunick and the other inspec-
tors intend to visit every farm in this
vicinity from which milk reaches this
city. When unsanitary conditions are
found they must be remedied or the
producer will not be permitted to sell
here
At the present time the local health
bureau has no jurisdiction over the
territory outside of the city and it was
on this account that DR. Raunick
asked that a State inspector be sent
here. Dr. Raunick, however, is max
ing an effort to have his food inspec-
tors enrolled by the State Livestock
Sanitary Board and when this is done
they will not only be invested with
municipal power, but their actions
will also be sanctioned b ythe State,
When this additional power is given
the local bureau then farms can be
condemned without delay.
