Foreign Minister of Holland Believes

Il cannot believe that the sinking of

Foreign Affairs Louden, to a represen-

Minister Loudon, after having re-

envoy of the Netherlands government
in Washington was just about to dis
patch a note to Berlin which, in Gus
tomary diplomatic terms, asked for an
explanation of the sinking of this
grain ship in the Atlantic off the New
England coast during the German sub
marine operations last Sunday. He
said he could not explain the act other

LITTLE KNOWN OF THE RACE
History of the Let's and Lithuanians
Cannot Be Traced to Satisfac-
tory Conclusion.

The Let's and Lithuanians are two
kindred peoples of ndo-European ORR
gin, which inhabit several western
provinces of Russia and the northeast
ern parts of Poland and Prussia. The
Let's are chiefly concentrated in
Vitebsk, Courland and Livonia. The
two races number about 100000, of
whom 100000 are Let's. Little is
known about their origin, and nothing
about the time of their appearance in
the land they now inhabit. Living in
a forested, marshy country, they have
been able to maintain their national
character. Their ancient priests al
ways worshiped in the forests, and
even now the generation of great oaks
is widely-spread custom in the vii
lag : The Lithuanian, Lettic or Let
fish, and Borussian languages together
constitutes a distinct linguistic group.
Lettic is divided into high (the eastern
dialects), low spoken in northwest
ern Courland), and middle .(the liter
airy language(. In the eighteenth CEN
fury a great educational movement
was started, and the society of the
Young Let's" has been prominent il
an endeavor to free their language and
thought from German influence. This
movement has grown very much in in
tensity, during the last thirty years.
Large colonies Of Lettic emigrants
have been established in the United
States.-Montreal Herald.

the minister himself indulgently,

Those two" were manifestly a
happy and well-harmonized pair. They
little resembled conventional lovers,
however. John Burnham was thirty
five and his studious face little sug-
gested the ardent youth and sweet
heart. Adria Newton was five years
his junior, gentle-faced and with a
sort of spiritual beauty that kept her
eyes girlish through which the true
soul of pure, loyal woman showed
clearly.
AS they presented this lovely spring
afternoon, so they had been in the
public eye for over two years. Late
In life love had come to glorify the
ambitions of John Burnham. Adria
had received his confession, proud and
happy. There had been in his life the
simple wholesomeness of real man
and she honored and respected him.
When Burnham had proposed to
Adria it had been in the presence of
her three spinster sisters. At that
time it looked as though the question
of getting along was solved for John.

sessed to this favorite nephew. When
the lawyers finished settling up the
estate, however, all that was left was
the ramshackly old house with twenty
acres of rocks and hills behind it.
Old Daniel Burnham had been sur
veyor and John had been his assistant
ever since boyhood. 1t was dull life
In a way, but John loved nature and
he took great enjoyment in his varied
outdoor duties. When he learned that
a much mooted store of boarded gold
of his departed uncle had evaporated
In moonshine and that all he had that
was practical was leaky roof over
his head, he set at work to make the
best of the situation.
My prospects have turned out
pretty bad, Adria," he had told his
fiancee. THE surveying business is
not what it used to be. 1t may be
years before l can get on settled
basis. l want to release you from
your promise"

There had been a years waiting and
business did not better with John
Durham. Like the current of an un-
ruffled stream, however, their love
went on, nothing marred its beauty or
peacefulness. Twice week evenings
John called at the Newton home and
spent a pleasant hour with the four
sisters. Twice a week he and Adria
attended some village entertainment,
or took a quiet stroll.
And now, John was gravely detail
ing a new trouble to his sympathetic
companion.
Its about the dynamite, Adria." he
was saying. Its reminder of my
old foolishness. You know year
ago l got it into my head that there
was something tangible to the theory
of that scientist, whose lecture we at

his little farm the day he shot the
clouds. Lo. and behold! drenching

change of opinion. And when, four
times in succession later on, John
tested his aerial artillery, it seemed to

No Longer Menace to Humans.

Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although ii
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance OF the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the
last few years there is no reason why
it should be a menace to human life.

"Oh, know how to handle it" de-
clared John confidently. Il hate to see
it wasted, though, when it cost
money"
Next morning John proceeded to
prepare to get rid of his troublesome
explosives. He went to the little shed
built into the hill and proceeded to re-
move its doors. Inside, wrapped in
old clothes, was heap of the stuff
which he had once fondly hoped would
make him successful rainmaker. He
uncovered some of it, planned out how
many journeys it would take to land
the home of his nearest neighbor to
borrow wheelbarrow.
"Hello!" he observed quickly, as.
passing his own house, he saw two
frowsy tramps seated on the steps
what's the occasion of guests, eh?"
Just grub, mister" replied one OF
the men. Sort of straighten us UP for
our long tramp ahead, will you?"
John was always kind to the needy.
He went into the house and brought
out plateful of bread and meat
Fill yourselves, friends" he spoke.
Il say, though, one thing-dont &C
near that open shed yonder. It's dan
gerous."
Eyes, we noticed the warming signs
around, boss" replied one of the men.
But after John had gone and the
men had finished their meal, as they
were leaving the yard one of them
picked up rock.
Bet the next dime l get that / hit

tramps.

Here goes"-crash!
That careless throw, landing mis-
sile among the dynamite stores, had
settled the fate of the disturbing ex,
plosive. The fearful defamation
brought John rushing back, crowd
following him in the widest excite
ment.
Fired it a-purpose?" painted the
town constable, keeping up with him.
ooh, no, and l can't imagine how
the dynamite came to explode" re-
piled John
We'll, it's the last of your raininak-
ing experiment, hey?" submitted the
official
They passed the two tramps, rush-
ing away in vivid alright They
neared the shed.
eli! Look there, and here-I say!"
shouted the constable. "Rain-why
there's been a golden rain here!"
John shared his amazement and
halted and stared about them. Near by
were the blasted remains of small
iron keg and the ground and paths
were spangled with glittering gold
pieces.
The hidden store of the "miser's
gold" had come to light at last. Sc
creted in OF near the old shed, it had
gone aloft with the explosion to come
down in an opulent shower.
They gathered it up and John took
it over to Adrias home.
Keep it till we get married-next
week." he directed, with a happy
smile.
