COLD FOR NATION
Germans Rush to Give Up Their
Ornaments.
KaiSer's Gold Reserve Supply
Gets Boost From People.

Berlin, Oct 19-The collection of
gold articles of all kinds for the pur-
pose of replenishing the empires gold
reserve met with success which was
surprising even to the most optimistic
In Berlin the rush of the people 20
the seven collection depots established
especially for the purse was so great
that it was found necessary to arrange
for the opening of more of these
depots in various districts for the con-
venience of the people and to save
time The depot at the City hail, Tor
instance, presented exactly the not
unfamiliar picture in America OF n
rush on the bank, the people swarm
ing about the great building, filling
the corridors and forming endless
queues in front of the collectors win
dows awaiting their turn. To allay
this impetuous rush, the authorities
depots will remain open seVeral
months to afford all patriotic citizens
an opportunity to offer their golden
treasures for the nations benefit
The Berlin goldsmiths guild fur-
iehed an expert at every depot. he
sits at a table behind the receiver with
scales, testing chemicals and solution
for cleaning the golden articles IN
front of him. Having tested ana
priced the articles, they pass on TO
ed out and placed in paper bags that
quickly grow to small mountains on
some tables where the most ordinary
trinkets are collected. Everybody rs
paid in cash right there and then. but
where larger quantities are offered
the people are advised to bring along
a valuation certificate from an expert
of their own choosing 10 expedite the
transaction.
The variety of articles offered sur
passed ell imagination. No one ever
guessed what an immense amount OF
gold was hidden in the Golfers of Ber-
liners HeirlOoms that had not seen
daylight for centuries made their re-
fppearance-eold cups, even coins:
Medals that must have been of special
sentimental value to the owners were
offered Young women brought brace
let's. brooches. watch chains medal
lions and proudly placed them by iron
trinlzets of similar description pro-
vided by a great committee formed
under the protection OF the crown
princess for making the collection
popular. There are many golden ar
ticles Of artistic or antiquary value,
but only their intrinsic value was paid.
Reports from all parts of the empire
mention the surprising success of the
collection.

WHAT THE BENHAM DID
Details of Meeting With the U-53 Are
Made Public.

Newport, Oct. 19-Details of the
encounter between the U-53 German
submarine, destroyer of five ships off
Nantucket shoals on October s, and
the United States torpedo boat des-

here as a result of an inquiry growing
out of the British insinuation that the
U-boat was operating with the con-

The Benham, Lieutenant Command

calls of distress, rushed from Newport

Tonight sure! Take Cascarets and
enjoy the incest, gentlest liver and
bowel cleansing you ever experienced
Wake up with your head clear, stom-
1ch sweet, breath right and feeling
fine. Get rid of sick headache, bilious
ness. constipation, furred tongue, sour
stomach, bad colds. Clear your skin,
brighten your eyes, quicken your step
and feel like doing a full days work.
Cascarets are better than salts, pills or
caIomel because they don't shock the
liver or grippe the bowels or cause in
convenience all the next day.
Mothers should give cross, sick, bill
ious feverish children a whole Casca-
ret any time as they can not injure the
thirty feet of tender bowels.

Be with us while the new world grees
The old world thronging all It's stree's'
Unwilling all the triumphs won
BY art or toll beneath the sun;
And unto common good ordain
This rivalship OF hand and brain.
Thou who hast here in Concord furied
The war flags of a gathered world.
Beneath our western skies fulfill
The Orient's mission Of good Will.
And freighted with loves golden fleece.
Send back Its argonauts Of peace.
For art and labor met fin truce.
For beauty made the bride OF use.
We thank thee; but withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save.
The honor proof to place or gold,
The manhood never bought nor sold.
oh make thou us. through centuries iona.
In peace secure. in Justice strong;
Around our gift OF freedom draw
The safeguards OF thy righteous law;
And cast In some diviner mold.
Let the new cycle shame the old.

RATHER ROUGH ON TOMPklNS
Girls Might at Least Have Chosen
Some Other Tune for Their |
First Rendition.

Mr.. Tompkins is a Woodworking
man at his trade as a shoemaker. By
laboring early and late he managed
to earn enough to educate and dress
his two daughters very well.
Now, he was so proud of these girls
that ut last he bought them a piano.
A few days after the arrival of the
instrument friend saw him.
"Hello, Tompkins" he said; land
how did the piano go OFF,
beautifully. Smith," replied the
shoemaker, 'the girls were as CRATE
full as possible, and it's fine to hear
them singing and playing. But what
do you suppose was the very first tune
they learnedT
Dunno. Pm sure" was the friends
reply.
Everybody Works but Father
