There was a German merchant
in the days of old, who used TO
travel with costly jewels from city
to city. His name was Berthold.
He was an earnest, warm-hearted
man. but he had a fiery temper and
a sharp tongue. One day, toward
night, he was iourneying in the
pines; there were scudding clouds,
q great shade came down on the
forest, and rain seemed about to
fall. Berthold saw that he could
not reach the city that evening. He
was alone in the wild forest with
his portmanteau of jewels. What
was he to do? Night came on. The
moon rose, and was darkened. The
forest roared with the wind. Around
him were beasts of prey. What
could he do? He stumbled on. At
last he saw a CLEAN of light. It
came from window in the forest.
He FASTENED toward it, and raped
on the door. The door slowly open
ed. A grey-haired old woman with
a beautiful face stood before him.
who lives here?" asked Berthold.
"A poor collier and his family. Why
do you Gomez"
81 am a traveller, belated and
lost. Will you give me food and
lodging for the night?"
Il will give you food, but / can
not give you lodging, though loathe
/ would be to refuse a stranger a
roof on such a night as this" Her
husband now appeared, holding q
light over her shoulder. 1T hurts
my heart to refuse stranger" said
he, but you would be better off in
the woods than here. How the wind
roars! There, the light has blown
out. Come I'M"
The merchant entered. The great
log room had an open fire, and
around it sat the most beautiful
children he had ever seen. The
woman spread the table. AS he
finished the meal he said, You
surely would not send me out into
the forest on such night as this?''
Stranger" said the collier, you
may stay, at your peril. though II
you will obey what I tell you, no
harm will come" The table was
cleared, and the good woman
brought out the musical glasses.
She tuned them, and when the child
rem touched them the most beauti-
full music arose; and the father and
mother clasped their hands, and
the family sang. Now the Woods
are au'feposing," but still the wind
was wild. Now" said the father,

BLAST WAR PLANT
German AviatOrS Leave Only
Craters on Site.
Waited Until Buildings Were
Filled With Supplies.

Berlin, Sept 2S.-The story of the
destruction by German aviators on the
night of July 20 of huge British ans
munition stores at Auduric. in north
ern France. ten miles south of Calais.
is published in the semi-official Nord
Deutsehe Allgemeine Zeitung. Ac-
cording to this newspaper German
aviators kept watch for months the
ammunition storehouses were being
built. The plant consisted of dozens
of sheds and buildings of all sizes,
equipped with vast switching facilities
and unloading platforms.
When the ,aviators had satisfied
themselves that the storehouses were
filled they undertook the attack in the
night, dropping bombs which are said
to have caused the explosion of every
one of the storenouseS and set fireoto
barracks and other military establish
ments over wide area Photographs
ing day when contrasted with pictures
taken the day before the attack,
showed only huge craters where the
ammunition plant had been, leaving
no doubt as to the completeness of

tung says it assumes this attack is the
one referred to in a letter published
in New York September and signed
by j. King, who was described as
member of the British house of COM
mons, altho in this letter the explo-
sion was said to have occurred about
August 16 last" If this is not the in
cident referred to by Mr.. King, the
newspaper says, then the British loss
is doubled.
The letter credited to Mr.. King
said a German aviator had blown up
an ammunition depot, causing the
greatest explosion the world had ever
had at a loss of about 1000, 900. The
writer said news of the explosion WAS
being withheld by the British censors-
No reference has been made to such
an occurrence in either the British or
German official communications.

and identity of script and tradition
with the Chinese.
Indeed, the closing of China's door
would spell disaster to Japanese COM
merce and industry, which have no
better prospect of development than in
China
DIR. Iyenaga went on to point out
that America had not taken advan-
tage of the opportunity afforded by
the open door in China. He continued:
I'm the meantime. what has Amer
lea been doing? Her trade with China
has not seen much progress these
years, whereas that of Japan has in
creased by leaps and bounds.
American Shortcomings.
Would you blame Japan for this :?
While you are driving American ships
out of the Pacific by legislation, with
drawing government support to bank
ers and thus losing opportunities to in
vest your reluctant capital. refusing
to study Chinese idiosyncracies and
offering them what you want to sell
while you do these things can you
consistently make fuss about the
open door in China
Or. Lyenaga ridiculed the idea that
Japan was plotting to throttle China
and compared his country's relation
toward China with that of the United
States toward Mexico, saying:
Would not Americans sincerely
desire to see an independent, strong
and well developed Mexico? Would
you not want Mexico to maintain
peace and order therein. so that your
commerce and industry with your
neighbor will thrive? Would you be
willing to allow any foreign power to
interfere in Mexico?"

These were the most outspo1en
