chaotic fact that you have moved and return home that night to your old haunts. The blackfaced elevator boy, giving you the address, tells everybody in the house about it and crimson faced you depart to your vagrant household with the sworn res Olution to stick tight in the same place no matter where it is that your wife has taken you, for the rest of life.
 No one should deceive himself in that easy fashion. Once a mover, always the annual jump, is the destined fate of the errant family. The steady average of the moving pOpu- 1ation, in all grades of wealth, and all sorts of cities and suburbs and towns proves that. Temperament and some times necessity rather than choice of neighbors or the attraction of ducal elevator men prescribe the amount of moving that a family will go through within it's career. Of course some un- expected business changes or f1nan- cial reverses or unpreventable mar riages will break up and scatter the most settled of fami1ieS-families that are as inherent to certain towns and city neighborhoods as the very pave ments. But otherwise those who move are simply those who usually are on the move.

CINCO DE MAYO RECALLS
 FAMOUS MEXICAN VICTORY

Clnco de MayO-the fifth of May is one of the great patriotic holidays of the Mexicans, and commem ora tes Mex1co's greatest military triumph over Gringo' invaders. In the regime of Porfirio Diaz, Cinco de Mayo was celebrated with great brilIiancy. The City of Mexico was ablaze with fla gs military bands paraded the streets playing patriotic airs, salutes were fired and the bells in all the churches were rung, and a big prade of soldiers was feature of the day. At the tri- bune in Chapultepec Park the griz- zled old Dictator presided at the chief exercises, which consisted of the sing ing of the national hymn by an inn mense choir and the delivery of inn passioned and fiery addresses by the leading statesmen of thee ountry Dur ing the era of revolution Cinco de Mayo has been celebrated in a less regal manner. if not with less enthu- siasm.
 The victory Of the Mexicans at Pueb1a on Cinco de Mayo, 1862, mark ed the first important clash between the natives and the French army of invasion. For years before Mexico had been in a. turmoil, the prey of greedy and ruthless dictators. For eigners were treated with great disre- spect, their property was seized, and many were killed. In 1858 Benito Juarez, the patriotic Indian, who was the leader of the 'fPoros'' or advanced Liberals, was declared constitutional president, and made war om the reac- tionary element. which was supported by the churchFand a large part of the army. Juarez and the Liberals finally triumphed, and in 1861 Juarez entered the City of Mexico. The Liberal con- stitution was put into effect church and state were separated, and church property valued at $375,OOO,O0O and more than third of the. soil were confiscated for the people. Marriage was. declared a civil contract, and celi- bacy and ecclesiastical tribunals were suppressed. In the midst of these re forms France. Great Britain and

An observer says the reason that all classes like motion Ncture plays is that each person puts into the mouths of the silent actors the exclamations, words and lines that he himself would use under like circumstances.
 Incidents and situations are flashed on the screen, but the spectator tells the unspoken story to himself, and there is no possibility of artificial strained or incomprehensible dialogue What the spectator imagines is the thing that is natural to him.

FULL TEXT OF
 GERMAN NOTE
fcontinued from Page i.

tCOnI1nu9Q rom rage l. )-- regret that the sentiments of hu- manfty which the government of the United States extends with such fervor to the unhappy vic tins of submarine. warfare are not extended with the same warmth of feeling to many mil lions nf women and children who, according to the vowed intention of the British government, shall be starved, and who, by suffer irgs, shall force the victorious ar m es of the central powers into ignon1inous equalization.
 The German government in agreement with the German peo- pie, fails to understand her dis crinnination, all the more as~it has repeatedly and explicitly de-
 c1ared itself ready to use the submarine weapon in strict con- formity with the Dules> of inter-
 national law as recognized before the sontbreak of the war, if Great Britain likewise was ready to adapt the conduct of warfare to these rules
 Several attempts made by the government of the United States to prevail upon the British gov ernment to act accordingly failed because of flat refusal on the part of the British government Moreover Great Britain again and again has violated interna- tional law, surpassing all bounds in. outraging neutral rights. The latest measure adopted by Great Britain, declaring German bunker coal contraband and es- tablishing conditions under which English bunker coal alone is supplied to neutrals, is noth- ing but an unheard-of attempt in the way of exaction to force neutral tonnage into the service Of British wal. trade.
 The German people knows that the go1ernment of the United States has the power to con7ne the war to armed forces of the beIHgerent countries in the in- terest of humanity and mainte- nance of international law. The government of the United States would have been certain of at- tafnf-g this end had it been de- ternfned to insist. against Great Britain, ~-i the incontrovertible right to freedom of the seas. But, as matters stand, the Ger man people Is under the impress sion that the government of the United States, while demanding that Germany, struggling for ex- Istence, shall restrain the use of an effective weapon, and while raakiag compliance with these de- rr1ands condition for nainte- nance of relations with Germany, confines itself to protests against fllega' methods adopted by Ger many's enemies. Moreover, the German people knows, to what considerable extent it's enemies are supplied with all kinds of war material from the United States.
 It will, therefora 1r understood that the appeal laAde by the government of the; United States to sentiments of humanity and principles of international law cannot. under the .rcumstances, meet the same hearty response from athe German peonle which such an appeal otherwise always is certain to find lere If the German government nevertheless Is resolved to go to the outmost limit of concessions it has been

Spain combined in hostile demOnstra- tions against Mexico, because of the latter's failure to pay their claims When Great Britain and Spain were informed of NapOleon's ambitious pro ject for establishing a monarchy in Mexico, with Archduke Maximilian of Austria on the throne, they broke with France and withdrew their forces. Napoleon decided to proceed with the invasion, and, while the British and Spanish forces evacuated Vera Cruz and sailed away for home, the French army plunged into the interior. The invaders met with little opposition .un- til they reached the ancient city of Puebla. At Fort Guadalupe General Zaragoza was awaiting them with the pick of the patriot troops, and in the circle of hills which forms natural barrier of defense for PuebIa a. bat tie was fought in which the French were severely defeated and suffered great losses.s& Zaragosa was a brilliant and able leader, and his death the fol- lowing September was a great blow to the Mexican cause.
 After the lapse of nearly a, year the French, greatly reinforced, returned to the siege of Puebla, and although Ortega held out for nearly two months, he was finally compelled to surrender. The bloody Bazaine then took charge of the French army and temporarily reduced a large part of the country to submission and opened the way for the triurlp1al entrance of Maxami1ian into the capital The reign of the Austrian Ardhduke was brief, for Napoleon withdrew his forces on the demand of the United States, and the ill-fated Emperor was captured and shot, while Juarez was restored to the presidency.

TELEPHONE GIRL KNEW LATIN
How Operator In Paris Helped Out
Priests Who Found Themselves
in Linguistic Difficulties.

That the telephone operators Of
Paris are well versed in foreign lam
guages is a thing which many yis-
itors to this city have found occa-
sion to discover, but a most striking
proof of their versatility is told by a
Swedish Catholic priest now visiting
there.
The priest, who does not speak a
word of French, was received at the
station by French colleague
who did not know Swedish, but
who was to be his guide, SO
the two priests arranged to
carry ON their conversation in
Latin. The. following morning
the visitor, who lives at a hotel,
was called up on the telephone by his
colleague.
He had barely started speaking
when he was interrupted by the op-
orator at the exchange, who told him,
that because of the war he must not
use foreign language. The French
priest explained the circumstances
to her and she assured him that
matters might be arranged. In a
moment the two priests heard new
young voice in the phone, addressing
them in the most perfect Latin.
What she said, translated into Eng
hsh, meant that although it was for
hidden to use foreign tongue the op-
orator would be very pleased if the
two fathers would speak in Latin
and it would then be her duty to lis
ten to their conversation.

BEES STRUGGLE AT BIRTH
New Additions to Hive Have Trouble
Forcing Their Way Into This
World of Labor.

1t is interesting to watch young
bees in the act of Matching out from
the cells Of the hive. The wax cap
ping which confines them is thin,
but 1t is quite strong enough to give
the tender young bee q good deal of
trouble in nibbling it through. At
first one can only see a part of the
insects head through a small hole it
has made. 1t gradually nibbles away
the wax till the hole is big enough
for the entire head to get through,
but ere this stage is reached the
young bee has been assisted in its eff
forts by several of the older bees
who, though no doubt engaged in
some other work, pause on their way
and very considerably nibble away
little of the Gaping with their
strong jaws. Once the head of the
young bee is out of the cell, it has
much more power, and after pulling
and twisting perseveringly the
thorax is gradually worked free of
its prison. Then the abdomen slips
easily after it, and the birth of the
bee is accomplished. When they are
free of the cells, the young bees
stand for some time palpitating, and
apparently getting their breath again
after their efforts, while some of the
nurse-bees gently stroke them and
give them food.

aHIs BEATITUDE' IN PERIL
.Little-K known maronite Patriarch
Known to Be at the Mercy
Of Young Turks.

In their orgy of destruction in
Syria, and especially the Lebanon,
the Young Turks have arrested, and
it may be, have already executed, his
Beatitude the Maronite patriarch.
The title is not very familiar to west
ern peoples. Indeed, it seems to
smack of the far East, but the fol-
lowers Of the Christian monk, Marc,
or Moro, have been settled on the
slopes of the Lebanon since the sew
enth century. The latest news about
his Beatitude was that he was to be
tried by court-martial, and in that
event his chances were not happy,
despite his name. The Maronites
are staunch Francophiles, and they
and the other prosecuted people of
Syria look with longing 10 the expul-
sion Of the Turk and the victory of
the allies.
The Maronites are interesting in
that they withstood the influence of
Islam and maintained their inde-
pendenoe. Later they joined the Ro-
man Catholic church, and in 1876
formally subscribed the DEGREES of
the council of Trent. They retain
their national rites and usages, and
the ancient Syriac Language is used
in their liturgy. Their patriarch is
elected by their bishops, subject to
the approval of Rome, and resides
in the convent of Kanobin, on the
Lebanon.
