A CHEAP DISCOVERY
1T ONLY COST So, 900

After all, why should the spirit
of mortal be proud? Here We have
been preening ourselves and point
ing with pride to our progress and
prosperity and summoning the wide
world to behold our pulchritude, and
word comes from Genoa that it cost
only a little more than $1,000 to
discover us.
Someone rummaging around in
the archives, it seems, came across
the expense account of Christopher
Columbus when he came over and
discovered us. Columbus's salary
was $500 Three hundred what?
Why, $500 year. And he had two
Captains at $500 a year each and a
lot of sailors at $3.50 month And
the fleet was worth $4,000. AT least,
it was put down that way. Figur-
ing the time they We're away, with
the sailormen drawing down $3.50
every mortal month, it is plain that
$1,000 scarcely paid the bill.
So that is what we cost. Cheap
bunch. We were all red Indians
then, of course, and didn't care
whether We were expensive or
Monday bargain, with double trad
ing stamps. 1t is different now. We
do not like to think that there was
ever a time when We could be dis
covered for a paltry $1,000. But
there are the archives and they say
$1,000 was the price. And it in
cludes all of us. Anyone with pas
sion for figures can figure out for
himself what his share of the cost of
being discovered.
1t is pretty bad, but it might be
worse. Suppose Isabella and her
crowd had not dug up that $1,000
and We had not been discovered and
we had remained red Indians to this
day. We would have had plenty of
pride, but nothing much to be proud
of.-LSt. Louis Post-Dispatch.

of his schedule.
After passing Oak Harbor, Ohio,
Carlstrom drove for the shore of
Lake Erie, passing south of Port
Clinton. He skirted Sandusky to
the south and then passed over HUI
ron. He flew over Vermillion at 10
a. M, Eastern time, and Lorain 10
minutes later. Then came Geneva,
the last place in Ohio to witness the
flight.

WOMEN AND MEN no BE
SEIZED AND DEPORTED

Berlin, Nov. 2.-The German Gov
eminent, in retaliation for the al
legged failure of the French Govern
ment to complete an agreement re-
garding the release of prisoners, has
determined to send 200 French men
and women of representative fami-
lies from occupied French districts
to Germany.
The official statement on this sub
ject given out for publication
through the Overseas News Agency
to-day, says:
The German and French Govern
ments last January agreed about the
release of civilian prisoners on both
sides. Thus, all German women in
termed in France and all German
men younger than II and older than
55 wears. as well as all unfit for mil
itary service, had just claim to be
sent home. except If indicted fog

France has not kept the agree

Mule In Basement.
Saturdays Courier-Journal

Saturdays Courier-Journal says:
Roomers at the Y. M. c. A. expe-
rienced a restless night last night
because mule got into the base
ment and couldn't-or wouldn't
get out
Shortly after driver for the Ir-
ing Transfer Company turned his
team into the alley behind the Y. M.
C. A. building the head mule of his
team disappeared. The animal had
stepped into a thirty-fve-foot coal
chute leading into the basement of
the building, His new quarters
were not to his liking, so the mule
began kicking.
Everybody upstairs heard the
noise and soon many were trying to
find some way to get the mule out.
The only means of exit aside from
the chute is flight of stairs. They
blindfolded the mule and attempted
to lead him up the stairs, but the
mule balked-accompanying his
balks with vicious kicks.
Somebody called the fire depart
ment, but the problem was too much
for the fireladdies. So the mule re-

KICK Is REGISTERED
AGAINST CANAL TREATY

Washington, Nov. Colombia
has protested to the United States
against the new canal route treaty
with Nicaragua, it became known
tonight, on the ground that the
granting of a ninety-nine-year lease
to this Government by Nicaragua of
Great Coin and Little Coin Islands
is a denial of Colombia sovereignty
in those islands.
Colombia claims the islands,
though recently subject to Nicarag-
uan administration, are part of her
territory under the Cedula of No
vember 80, 1903, Issued by the King
of Spain to demarcate the various
Spanish provinces in the New
World. The islands are not claimed
to be of any special value except
strategically. They lie about 10
miles off the coast, and have about
1000 population.
Some time ago Honduras, San
Salvador, Costa Rica and. Guatemala
protested against the Nicaraguan
treaty on the ground that it in
fringed their rights on Fonseca Bay
and San Juan river. The United
States has not accepted their pro-
tests, and the award of the Central
A L.
been disregarded by Nicaragua.

Vaux Evacuated.

London, Nov. 1.-The Germans
evacuated Fort Vaux without
French hindrance, during the night,
according to Berlin. Thus virtually
all the ground of pronounced value
taken by the Germans in the pro-
longed drive at Verdun, is lost to
them. The French began the often
sive. October 25 and in a few days
recaptured Fort, Donaumont and
wide stretch of territory. Since
then the fall of Vaux has been re-
garded as certain. The French on
the Somme front have gained some
ground which Berlin practically con-
cedes, but declares that the main
French effort was sanguinsrily re-
pulsed. Rain, apparently, hindered
the British in the Les Boeufs sector.
There is no apparent let up in thu
German pressure along the Ruman-
ian Northwestern frontier, but the
Rumanians are generally reported
as holding their own fairly we'll.
Meanwhile, military critics are
apprehending a German stroke for
the complete conquest of the pro-
vince of Dobrudja, but official state
ments disclose no changes.

feat in Volhynia, South of Witoniez.

THE DEUTCHLANO
VOYAGE WITHOUT
Special Incident Says
Captain Koenig
TWENTY.0NE DAYS CROSSING.
Vessel Said to Have Brought
Large Cargo OF
Chemicals.
ARRIVED LAST WEDNESDAY,

New London. Conn, Nov. l.
The German submarine Deutschland
arrived in the harbor here early this
morning.
Capt. Koenig said the Deutsch-
land left Bremen on October 10 and
made the trip here without special
incident. The entire crew compris-
es twenty-five men. The Deutsch-
land appeared in the outer harbor
shortly after midnight and proceed
ed to the dock of the Eastern For
warding Company.
Capt. f. Hinsch, of the Forward
ing Company, accompanied by DR..
r. E. Black, the health officer, and
other officials, met the submersible
on a tug. The usual quarantine reg
Glations were waived and the
Deutschland tied up at the dock
near the North German Lloyd steam
er Willehad.
The deutschland was said to have
a large cargo of chemicals.
The submersible under her own
power, slid into a pocket" that had
been prepared for her at the wharf,
at 235 o'clock. The crafts entry
into the harbor was so silent that
only a few persons were aware that
she was there.
Capt. Koenig said that the boat
originally was supposed to leave on
October /, but she was injured in a
collision and put back to port, de-
laying her sailing ten days. The
clearance papers were made out for
Baltimore or any Atlantic port"
Until the last three days extreme
ly rough water was encountered,
Capt. Koenig said.
Plans were made to transfer the
crew to the steamer Willehad, where
quarters have been in readiness for
some time. All the men were in eX-
cellent health. it was said, and In
high spirits over the successful ter
mination of the second trans-Atlan-
tic venture.
Soon after the craft was tied up,
a pontoon, carrying a high fence,
was swung into position between
the dock and the Willehad. With
the company warehouses on one
side this combination successfully
hides the submarine from view.
The Deutschland first attracted
worldwide attention when at al
most the same hour in the morning
of July 9 she slipped in the Virgin
ia Capes.
Capt. Koenig. who brought the
vessel into New London to-day, also
commanded her on her maiden voy-
age. The vessel reached her dock
at Baltimore the following night.
She carried a valuable cargo of dye
stuffs. The trip constituted a record
voyage for a craft of the kind, ap-
proximately 1000 miles in sixteen
days.
The subsea trader started on her
return trip August | with a cargo
of rubber and nickel, lodged
through a Gordon of hostile warships
watching for her outside the three
mile limit and arrived safely off Bre-
men after a voyage of twenty-three
days.
