An Old Chinese Wall Paper

Long ago in an old house in Salem, Massachusetts, when a certain large mirror was removed from the wall, there was disclosed a section of wall paper of quaint Chi r1ese pattern, which for some reason had not been covered by a modern paper There was enough of it to get the whole design, and a photo graph was taken. This paper has been reproduced in att tractive coIorings, correct to the ninutest details of tea house. garden steps, vases and flowers. 1
 It can be had at Reads.

GERMANS SEARCH
HOME OF BELGIAN
GOVT MEMBER

member Of the Belgian government, re-
ceived news today that his house at
has been searched by the German mil
itary authorities, says dispatch from
Havre to the Petit Journal. All the
locks were burst open. including those
on the jewel boxes belonging to Mad
anne Vandervelde. the contents of
which. however, were left untouched.
1t is supposed, the dispatch says, that
the Germans were looking for docu-
ments Of an international character,
but they found nothing.

liamentary under-secretary of foreign af-
fairs. assured the house on the authority
OF Lord Harrington that there was no
word OF truth in the charges brought
against British representatives in neutral
countries who were urging the Allies to
declare a blockade
I'VE are trying to do, with some sue
cess" he said. Something that no nation
has ever tried BEFORE namely, to block
ade Germany through neutral countries.
1t is not case of high-handedness. but
rather for great caution and circumspec-
tion. 1t would be easy to make mis-
takes which might be SO serious as to
prevent our winning the war;
Resents Criticism
Foreign Secretary Grey said that he
had gathered from the debate that
there was real misapprehension con-
corning the amount of trade passing
into Germany and regarding what this
government was doing to stop that
trade. The figures given in the press
had created grotesque impression in
regard to the amount of leakage, and
would not bear investigation. He as
these figures did great injustice to the
government, for these figures did not
take into consideration the fact that
in many cases. exports from the Unit
ed States had merely made good sup
plies which neutrals formerly drew
from Germany. The figures given for
exports deal only with goods which
left the United States and gave no
information concerning their arrival.
Sir Edward referred as an example
to the case of meat cargoes consigned
to neutral countries and now before
English prize courts. He proceeded to
analyze some of the published figures
in order toademonstrate that they were
misleading.
Cannot Do More
Sir Edward said that as a matter
Of fact the government is doing what
the supporters Of the blockade policy
demanded.
I'VE cannot do more than we are al
ready doing" he said.
