Those persons found to be over military age, or not in any sense re- servists, probably will be released. but Great Britain is expected to insist upon holding those prisoners believed to be seeking to return to Europe to assist in the war against the entente allies

The state department in note regarding the arrest and detention during the early days of the war of August Piep- enbrink emphatically declared that there is nc justification in nterna- tionat law for the removal of an en. emy subject from a neutral vessel on the nigh seas bound to a neutral port, even if he could be properly regarded as a military person"
 A rule to this effect was stated for Great Britain herself by Earl Russell in the case of the Trent. and there are other precedents for the position of the

a PErRlFIEp STUMP.

In one of the coal mines Of Marrow
bone Coke Co., on Marrowbone creek,
KY, a petrified stump has been found
twenty eight hundred feet from the
drift mouth. At the point where the
stump was found, there are four humid
red feet of mountain over it. 1t was
found on top of the coal vein and not
in the clay bed Of the coal seam where
1t should have been. On top the stump
there were two petrified seeds, resemb-
ling peach stones. The stump is about
three feet in diameter and about two
feet high. 1t is intact, roots and all are
well preserved. 1t is so hard that it re-
sists the best tempered steel. 1t is a
well established fact that mammoth
trees grew during the carboniferous age
and the remains OF these trees have
been infinitely traced in our coal beds
and coal veins. The trees of that far
distanct age did not bear fruit except
perhaps, the conifers and they did not
bear peaches. No stump has ever been
found on the top of coal vein. The
coal was formed unter the water and
