They Took the Lash,

One of the traditions of the British
Royal Yacht club is Of Lord Yarbor-
ough's Falcon, the crew of which were
paid extra wages on condition that
they they submitted to the usual rules
in force on British vessels of war.
These included f1ogging under certain
circumstances, and it is said that in
consideration of the. additional sum
paid by Lord Marlborough some of the
crew cheerfully submitted to the oc-
casional application Of the cat-o'nine-
tails. Indeed, before the Falcon left
Plymouth sound for a cruise all hands
cordially signed a paper setting forth
the usefulness of sound fiogging in
cases of extremity and their perfect
willingness to undergo the experiment
whenever 1t was deemed necessary for
the preservation Of good order"

STREETS OF LONDON.
A Name System That Is Confusing
Even to Residents of the City.

Even TO residents OF the City.
When 1t comes to confusing street
systems London should not be over
looked. Some consider it the most con-
fuSing, even LondOners not always be-
ing sure Of locations.
AS an example of what one meets in
the British capital a man once asked
to be directed to a certain house on
King street. He was sent in one di-
rection. When he did not come to
King street as soon as he expected he
asked again for King street and was
sent in an opposite direction. Again
not sure of his direction, he asked
third time for King street and was
asked which King street he wanted.
The question stumped him, not know
ing that London has nineteen King
streets. This number does not include
the King streets in London's suburbs.
If this man who wanted King street
had asked for Queen street his predic-
ament would have been even greater,
for there are thirty-four Queen streets
in London.
Great as the city is, it is far behind
New York in regard to a comprehen-
sive street system, even though cor
ners of New York such as Greenwich
Village are most confusing.-Exchang

MOVED THE LOGAN STONE.
Then He Had the Costly Job Of Moving
1t Back Again.

Do you know what happens to the
iconoclast who attempts to prove to
the world that there is nothing in its
pet superstitions? Did you ever hear
the story Of the British naval Ieuten-
ant who demonstrated the fact that
there was nothing supernatural about
the Logan stone? Out there at the
tip of Lands End, close to where the
pirates of Penzance used to hold FORTH
the huge mass Of rock rested on the
top of the cliff, so delicately poised
that a child could make it rock this
way and that. A gust Of wind would
set it to vibrating, and yet for hum
dreds of years it had been believed
that no earthly force could dislodge 1t
from its position. Then along came
the lieutenant, who laughed at all such
silly superstition. He would prove to
the deluded people Of Cornwall that
the Logan stone could be dumped
into the sea by the physical prowess
of few sturdy sailors.
Luckily for his position in the navy
Of his majesty, George ~, the leu
tenant succeeded only in hurting the
charmed rock a little way down the
cliff, where it lodged in a shelving
crevice, for such a howl went up, not
only from the guides and tavern peo-
pie who made a living off Of the tour
lists who came to see the quivering
bowlder, but from the antiquaries and
scientists who believed that the rock
had been delicately poised there by
the druid priests or that It illustrated
little understood force Of nature, that
the admiralty sent word to the i'm
Their restore the Logan stone to its
place or forfeit his. A derrick and
months salary were required to set
the stone In its place.-St Louis Globe

FoREToLD HIS OWN DOOM.
Lord Kitchener Felt That He Would
Lose His life at Sea-

-~'o 'N'hCHeneF REX mat ne WoQl0
Lose His Life at Sea.
Lord Kitchener had sort of fore
bod1ng Of an accident at sea. So much
was this the case that he never cross
ed from Dover to Calais without wear
ing life belt waistcoat. one that he
had specially made for him in Egypt
before he made his famous advance to
Khartum.
Though SO often on the sea and al
excellent sailor, he detested sea trips
any ship He complained that the sea
affected his sight.
Another curious point was that while
he always acquired curios in any part
OF the world in which he might be, he
took care never to allow his purchase
to be on the vessel on which he was a
passenger
When Lord Kitchener was In France
a few months before he lost his life
at sea off the Orkney islands he was
visiting the British front There he
met his friend, the naval Captain
Testu de Balincourt, then on service
at Dunkirk, whom Lord Kitchener ask
ed to be his special aid if he should
need one later during the war.
Lord Kitchener told his friend how
a heavy shell had burst close to him
while on this visit, but added, THAT
did not disturb me, for l know that
shall die at sea. New York Sun.

Superstitions About Hares.

There have been at various periods
all manner of queer superstitions
about hares, which would seem to in
dictate that the believers were them
selves madden than any hare that ever
gamboled in March. It's brains were
believed to make children's teeth come
quickly and painlessly; those who ate
its flesh became lovely and gracious
for week after; waistcoat made Of
hare's skin Strengthened the bodies
both of young and old, etc. Even to-
day there are those who take as an
evil omen the crossing Of the road be-
fore them by this most innocent Of

believe one will get through next ses-
sion. 1t is doubtful if the $50,000,-
900 Mississippi river land reclamation
bill will get through this session or
next, because these annual joke bills
have become so notorious that they
cease to be a joke.
The child labor bill engrossed the
Senate's attention for many days.
Generally speaking, it proposes to pro-
hibit the importation from one state
to another of goods manufactured by
child labor. Only interstate ship
ments are affected. Practically all
Northern states have strongly enforc-
ed laws prohibiting child labor but the
opposition comes principally from
Southern senators who believe such
laws will interfere with cotton grow
ers and manufacturers of the South.
Objections in debate are founded on
the right Of the Government under It's
polio power to prohibit such import
ations. The constitution was ap-
pealed to by those protestants but the
bill passed the Senate.
Over dozen letters from one COM
munity of the District have been re-
ceived on the subject of compulsory
arbitration of the railroad strike ques-
ton and passage of law to that Ell
feet. Some admitted weaknesses IN
our form of government exist but they
involve important rights Of individuals

compel arbitration, necessarily IN
cludes enforcing the decree OF any ar
filtration court or board empowered to
act. That may involve contempt OF
court providing an employee refuses
to abide by the decree and objects to
going to work at the wage and under
conditions fixed by the board. The far
far-reaching effects of such laws will
be recognized. In like manner it
might bring business failure to an en-
ployer who could not fulfill the order
of the board. No one will discount
the seriousness of strikes that involve
the entire transportation system and
and any workable solution that is Of
fered will be eagerly investigated by
Congress.
AS predicted some weeks ago the
conference report on the army bill car
ries the $2O,OOO,000 proposed for de-
pendents of National Guardsmenwhich
provision Chairman Chamberlain SO
strongly opposed and said could not
pass. Realizing that delay may occur
in prompt administration of this pro-
vision, the writer urged that it's pass
age be anticipated by the War Depart
ment to the extent of securing all
needed machinery in advance. A let
ter signed by the Secretary of War
lust received says, "I hope to be able
to organize proper instrumentalities
for the speedy administration of this
fund and have already put the matter
in the hands of the Quartermaster De-
partment for the preparation of adj
vance plans" Guardsmen on the
Mexican border will be glad to learn
that we'll merited relief measure for
dependents will be in effect as soon as
the conference report is adopted which
may occur before this letter is receiv-
ed. A letter from General Ho'way
at Madison expresses appreciation of
this legislation which will afford need
ed relief.

eight hours on board the submarine, during which time the vessel fought an action with an Entente allied pa- trol boat. The feelings of the pris- oners on board the Underwater boat are described as having been mixed between desire for the success Of the patrol boat and anxiety over their own safety.
 The submarine the letter says, also sighted an Entente allied cruiser and and that afterward the of the underwater boat informed the prisoners that the cruis- CT had been torpedoed by another When approaching it's destination the submarine game to the surface and proceeded to port, escorted by three torpedo boat de- stroyers. which later were attacked by an Entente Allied submarine, but escaped.
 Captain Wilson in his letter pays tribute to the submarine officers for the treatment they accorded the pris- oners. The officers, he declared, were ready to fight anything.

ECHO .0F ALASKA
 COAL LAND CASES
Grand Jury Is Investigating Charges that Juror was Bribed in the
 Frost Coal Cases.

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-The federal grand jury here is investigating the statement of Archibald Fitzgerald that he gave a juror in the Frost Alaska coal cases five thousand dol lars to clear the defendants of the charges which had been preferred against them by the government. and which resulted in their acquittal in 1913.
 Frost and his associates were charged with having illegally located vast tracts of coal lands in the Mat anuska coal fields of Alaska, which were afterwards transferred to the Canadian interests controlling the Alaska Northern railroad.
 Following the acquittal of the de fendants Fitzgerald is alleged to have made the statement that he secured a favorable verdict by giving one of the jurors in the case five thousand dollars. Both the juror who is all leged to have accepted the bribe and Fitzgerald. have been under bonds to appear before the grand jury in order that the charges might be in- vestigated.

PHYSICIAN SAYS ''
 RUSSIANS HATE GERMANS

NEW YORK: Fred w. Eastman, one of the American surgeons who went to Europe on the steamer Red Cross, returned on the Anchor liner California after making a final tour of inspection through Russia and Germany.
 '"The Russians are beginning to wake up now" Dr. Eastman said, and show warlike hostility for the greatest enemy. It is difficult to ex- plain how the Germans have stopped the Russians from hating them for so long. but they have. Before the war the commercial interests of Germany were very strong in Petrograd and Moscow, and this fact helped to re- strain the bad feeling against the Germans.
 "The stories of the ill-treatment of Russian prisoners in German prisons have aroused a feeling of hatred among the people in Russia. I was at Kiev. where there were a great number of Austrian and German pris- oners, and:they were all treated well.
 There are about one million Rus alan soldiers in training around Kiev and they have all the ammunition and equipment that they need.'
