EDITORIALS UNFAIR
II Is Stated That the Newspapers
Are Unfair in not Waiting In
til Germany Presented Her
Case on Sub Issue.

BERLIN. April 11.-Much bitter
ness has been caused here by re-
ports that Americans are question
ing the honor OF the German gov
ernment without waiting for pre-
sentation OF all the facts In the case
of the Sussex and other vessels.
Berlin newspapers today printed
several American editorials. Ihese
editorials charged that Germany yio-
lated the pledges given by Amoas-
sador Won eBrnstorff. 1t is the
unanimous opinion of all Germans
that the submarine commanders re-
eeiyed such explicit instructions that
there is little possibility that they
violated either information law or
Germany's pledges to the united
states. For that reason the Ger
mans feel that the American edi-
,oriaIs written before Germany pre-
sented her case. are entirely unfair.
The final draft of Germany's re-
nlv N President Wilson's inquiries
regarding the Sussex and Tour
sraiehters has been approved oy

veg and Admiral Won Holtzenorff

Lotteries In ENGLAND,

Lotteries for the purpose of raising
money for the state have never caught
on In England. But for definite ends
Of semistate character, such as build
ing canals or founding q British muse
UNI, sanction has been readily granted.
Our first recorded lottery is that of
1899, when the prizes were pieces of
plate. the chances 10000 for 10 shil-
lings each and the desirable object the
maintenance of harbors. But, once
familiar grown, lotteries corrupted the
ancient virtues of John Bull, and by
the time of Queen Anne the state step
ped in and suppressed every private
lottery rs n public nuisance. By an
act passed in 1893 sanction was given
to n particular lottery, and that was
the last. At the same time all sale of
tickets for home or foreign lotteries
was forbidden.-London Times.

AN EMBROIDERED BLOUSE.
Il 10 Said That Hsndwork
Lingerie 10 Rivaling Grape.

For some time hand embroidered
blouses were kept under cover. 1t
seemed a shame, too, for the hand
work on a blouse always showed to
good advantage. However, there Is no
longer any need to lament about the
matter, for once more women are priv
fleged to wear blouses which show the
results of their labor in the embroidery
field. But the embroidery is applied In
a different manner. Instead Of deco
rating the front Of the blouse In plas-
iron effect, dainty little flowers hang
In garlands from the shoulder line.
The shoulders are outlined with band
of embroidery. One blouse showing
this treatment was embroidered In
blue, pink and green. 1t opened In the
front, and the line Of closing was fin
ished with featherstitching and a few
tiny white buttons embroidered In
green also.
The application Of the embroidery on
the sleeves was quite variation. A
separate cuff finished each sleeve and
was edged with green featherstitching,
but where the sleeve Joined the cuff
garlands Of the flowers embroidered In
the delicate colors suggested above
were embroidered up the sleeve for a
space Of four inches.
A turnover collar Of the blouse mate
rial was edged with featherstitching,
and q tiny spray Of flowers was en-
broidered in each point In front.
The colors Of embroidery cotton can
be changed to suit the wearer's taste.

Nero a Shrewd Doc.


My Nero is very useful. He Is some,
times sent on errands and brings par.
cells from the shops very nicely. he
goes alone to the market, writes q lit
tie girl in the Iowa Homestead.
But Nero has an enemy, a fierce bull
dog that lives on the road to the mar
ket Nero is stronger than the bull
dog, but the sly rascal keeps out of
sight except when Nero has q basket
in his mouth; then he runs at him. and
Nero is too faithful to drop his burden.
so he has to scamper.
One day the scamp worried Nero all
the way home. He came In much ex-
cited. / set the basket on the table
and took out the meat Then Nero
leaped up. seized the basket with his
teeth and ran out Of the house. Nero
went straight to the house where the
ugly dog lives. The dog saw the bas-
ket and thought he had q good chance
to bite Nero. so out he rushed. What
then? Why. Nero dropped the basket
In a hurry, and he gave that wicked
dog such whipping that he never
forgot 1t.

Artificial Ears.

Artificial ears are so skillfully made
that they may with difficulty be dis
tinguished from natural ones, so It is
claimed.
When the person who has lost an
ear applies to the manufacturer for a
substitute there is made a mold Of the
remaining ear. II there be left any
part of the other a mold Of that part
also must be taken to assist In the fit
ting Of the artificial Manufacturers
assert that no two ears are alike and
that It takes a skillful workman to
prepare an ear from the mold or molds.
When finished the new ear is pasted
on the stump or simply set in the posi-
tion Of the lost ear. It Is really only
the first artificial ear that is expen-
sive. the chief cost pertaining to the
making of the mold. Vulcanized rub
Der, which can be bent and twisted,
has been found to constitute the best
material for the making Of artificial
ears.-Detroit Free Press.

Self Reliance.

The spirit of self help is the root of
all genuine growth in the individual,
and, exhibited in the lives Of many, it
constitutes the true source Of national
vigor and strength. Help from with
out is often enfeebling in its effects,
but help from within invariably invig-
crates. Whatever is done for men or
classes to a certain extent takes away
the stimulus and necessity Of doing for
themselves, and where men are sub
jected to overguidance and overgov
eminent the inevitable tendency is to
render them comparatively helpless
