today that they expected that the gov
erment would call former President
Taft as a witness in connection with
conference between Mr.. Taft and
Lewis Cass Ledyard. in regard to the
taking over of Boston & Maine stock
by the New Haven.
Mr.. Mellen took the stand when court
opened and was questioned about
steamship lines of the New Haven sys-
TEN. He described the Merchants and
Miners as very important" This ran
from Boston and Providence to Balti-
more. Newport News. Norfolk and
Savannah.
Attorney Swacker asked the witness
about his early connection with the
New York and New England as gen.
eral manager.
What were the conditions as regards
competition between the New York and
New England and the New Haven?' he
asked.
The worst I ever knew-just cut
throat work on both Sides" was the
reply.
Mr.. Swacker wanted to know if c. P.
Clark, then president of the New
Haven, and named as co-conspirator
in this case. had had a conversation
with the witness about the conpeti-
tion.

Berlin, Jan. 25.-Remarkable figures
regarding new German naval gun
are given by German artillery eX-

ton by the London Times that the

Flrst "Game Law"

fine first game law for the protec'
ton OF wild animals and birds was
enacted in 1908 by William the Con.
quero. This decree OF the Norman
king was called forest law, but its
principal purpose was the preserva'
ton of game. Forfeiture of property
was made a penalty for killing or dis
aiding any kind of wild beast, while
the slayer Of a stag, buck or BOAR.
if convicted, had his eyes pui out
These laws, of course, applied only to
the masses, since the royalty and no
blity we're permitted to kill as much
as they pleased. IN fact, the princi
pal purpose OF the pioneer game law
WAS to provide sport for the few. The
first parliamentary game law in Eng
land was passed in 1896. Game laws
In America have become increasingly
strict of late years, but they were
adopted too late to save many species,
notably the buffalo. from almost com.
olete extinction.

some WAR Terms
and their origin
Except for "Shrapnel,' the
Names Of Nearly All
Weapons Are Alien.

it'll the exception of Shrapnel,
named after It's inventor, an English
colonel, there are very few war
terms now in use which have a
British origin.
Sword musket, grenadier, dragon
are all alien terms. "Grenadier" is
generally supposed to come from the
French. The word is, however, Of
German birth, and originally was
"grenatier," the force owing their
name to the hand-grenades with
which they were armed.
The word "musket'' has an Italian
derivation: "moschotto," which was
really a species OF small sparrow
hawk In ancient times and in the
middle ages the name musket was
used to designate a small mortar
which threw arrows.
When gunpoWder was discovered a
small cannon was baptised "musket, y
and later the rifle of the ordinary
infantryman earned the name, while
the whole unit was called "musket-
iers"
Both "dragoon" and "cuirassier"
come from the French. The, dragons
had a dragon painted on their shields
and the cuiras siers carried q breast
protection made of copper--in
French "cuivre.'
"Hussar" comes from the Hun
carlson word "husz," which means
twenty" The force derived its
name from the fact that long ago
every twentieth recruit in Hungary
was placed in one OF the mounted
res'iments.
Turks. It comes from the Turkish
word Foghlan,' youth.
"Sword" comes from the Polish
wcrd "szabla,' and "pistol" from the
Italian town Pistola, which was fam
Gus in he middle ages for its arms
factories.
The bayonet takes its name from
the French town "Bayonne,' where
the inventor lived some 125 years
ago.
"Howitzer" is derived from the
Czech word "houfinice,' wooden
apparatus used in ancient times for
the purpose of throwing stones. We
meet with the word also in the Hus-
site war, in the fifteenth century
where the weapon figures as 'hauf-
| fnitz"
The officers rank of major was de-
! rived originally from the Spanish
! word "mayor" signifying great or
| high.
Even "war" itself comes from q
| foreign source, coming down with
| the Italian and Spanish guerra,
aud the French "guerre" from the old
I German "Werra"

BRAND WHTTLOCK,

who has had number CT clashes
with the German military authorities

lection and who. after faithful prom
ises from the supreme authorities in
Brussels that they should not be mo-
Tested, were imprisoned at Mons, de-
spite the presence there OF a repre-
sentative Of Mr.. Whitlock. Whitlcck's

were liberated and allowed to con-
tinue their journey to England.
