GERMAN SHIPS IN AMERICAN
PORTS

The Washington correspondent OF
the New York Times says that in case
OF war between the United States and
Germany the interned vessels belong
ing to Germany will not be coniiscat
ed.
The rule is that when a merchant
ship belonging to one of the bellig-
erent powers is at the commencement
of hostilities in an enemy port, it is
desirable that it should be allowed to
depart freely. either Immediately or
after reasonable number OF days OF
grace, and to proceed. after being fur
nished with a pass, direct to It's port
Of destination or any other port indi.
Gated
\ merchant ship unable. owing to
circumstances of force majeure, 10
leave the enemy port within the pc.
Rod contemplated in the above arti-
Gle, or which was not allowed to
leave, cannot be confscated. The bel.
hgerent may only detain it, without
payment of compensation, but subject
10 the obligation of restoring it after
the war. or requisition it on payment
of compensation.
While the United States did not rat.
lily that convention. it will observe it.
Under this convention the German
and Austrian slips in American ports
could not be conhscated in the event
of war.

1t always has been so, and it always
will be so. Some of the most wonder
full things in all the world have been
discovered wholly by accident. Peter
has wasted no end of time trying TO
find out things just to crafty that
curiosity and then by accident has dis
covered what he wanted to know. In
fact. he has found out more things by
accident than ever he has by the use
of his wits.
When he left Big Tom there was
nothing but indignant amaZement in
Peters funny little head-anazemen ent
that Big Tom actually was jealous Of
his own eggs. But Peter hadn't gone
far before he began to wonder where
Mrs. Gobbler could have hidden that
nest so cleverIy that Big Tom couldn t
find it. The more he wondered the
more he wanted to know. Curiosity
was once more taking possession of
Peter Rabbit.
once Peter becomes curious he has
no peace until that curiosity has been
satisfied, and ii was just so now. He
no more Went over to the Green For
est to try to cheer Big Tom and keep
him from being lonesome. but he went
to the Green Forest every day just
the same He came to look for Mrs.
Gobhier and her hidden nest. But
though he looked here and looked
there. looked in every likely place he
could think of. and great many un-
likely places he failed to find them.
1t seemed to Peter as if Mrs. Gobbler
had simply ceased to be. Finally he
gave up looking for her. He began to
realize that il was pure waste of time.
Little by little as other things in
terested him he forgot about Mrs. Cob
bier and her hidden nest. One day as
he was scampering along through a
part of the Green Forest he often visit
ed he caught glimpse of Old Man
Coyote just ahead of him.
The sooner | get out of sight the
better for me-" thought Peter. and
dived under a mass of ferns growing
around the foot of a great tree. Then
he turned and peeped out to watch Old
Man Covote. Old Man Coyote went on
about his business and soon was out
of sight. Peter breathed easier and
settled down to wait for Old Man
Coyote to get so far away that there
would be no danger of catching up
with him.
Peter had sat there only a few min
utes when he began to have the un-
comfortable feeling that he was not
alone. He had seen nothing and heard
nothing to make him feel this way, but
he couldn't get rid of the feeling. He
stirred uneasily. Finally he turned his
head and looked behind him. AT first
he saw nothing but the ferns all
around. Then all in flash he did see
something. He saw two eyes. two
sharp eyes fixed on him. Peters heart
gave a great Jump and he prepared to
give a great jump himself il need be
Then as he stared and stared he made
We're located 1t was the head of Mrs
Gohbler Hes. sir. it was the head of
Mrs. Gobhler. Peter knew that in
stantly. for there is no other head like
hers. Wholly by accident he had dis
covered Mrs. Gobbler's hiding place.

MAYOS GIVE FORTUNE
FOR MEDICAL RESEARCH
Donate Nearly Two Millions to
Foundation of University of
Minnesota.

MINNEAPOLIS. Mimi, September IA
The board of regents of the University
of Minnesota has ratified by unanimous
vote the permanent agreement making
the Mayo foundation at Rochester the
absolute property of the university. to be
used perpetually for higher medical edu-
cation research and investigation. Sc
curities totaling S1,G50,345. representing
the fortunes of Drs. viii J. and Charles
H. Mayo. were turned over to the uni
versity.
I'VE turn over to the regents the bulk
of our savings of generation. an out
right gift" said DR.. VIII J. Mayo. who
is a member of the board of regents. but
who did not vote on the proposal. "The
money came from the people and we feel
it should return to the people-a continu-
ing fund that shall serve this state for
generations to come.
EXPENSES of the foundation will be paid
by the Drs Mayo until a fund of $1,000 900
has accumulated. Thereafter the income
from the fund will maintain it.
It was announced that one of the Mayos
would go to France with recruits next
wear and that they would take turns there
until the end of the war.
