piled, that 1t is the restitution OF
Msace-Lorraine that we are determin-
ed upon. There must be restitution

bitter end"

cusations of NJ. Daudet were outside

on, so the government was able to take
them up and reduce them to nothing.

GERMAN RAT|ONS NOT

People in Occupied Portions OF Bel
GUM and France Get
Even Less.

Rations now allowed the German peo-
pie and the civilian population OF the
occupied portions OF northern France
and Belgium, details of which have just
reached the food administration. are
insufficient to maintain bodily heaith
and vigor. The French and Belgians get
considerably less than the amounts ap-
portioned to the German population ana
they get no meat except bacon

ton, the weekly ration to the Germans

In northern France the weekly ration
allows sufficient flour for five POUNDS OF

one cupful of cereals, twelve ana one
third ounces of bacon and lard ana ten
dominoes of sugar. Here meat. butter

Analysis Of Rations.
"The German ration, compared with
the ration used as standard 1or pur-
poses of comparison by the food ad-
min,stratiou, shows that in bodyouild-
Ing protein the Germans have Al of

statement In fact, the German ration
contains 43 of a pound, as compared
with standard 4 pounds. In carbo-
hvdrates the German ration contains
All pounds, as compared to 80 pounds
for the standard ration. In total Gallo
ries the German ration aggre gates

standard ration.
THE standard ration Is regarded as
sufficient only for person in seden-
t.ry occupation or one involving rela-
tiyelv slight physical labor; and yet 1t
provides two and one-half times as
much bodybuilding protein and nearly
twice as much fat. and nearly two and
one-half times as much carbohydrates
as the German ration.

Sinking of Neutrals.
Norway is believed to have been hit
worst by the raid. Most, if not all of
the neutral ships sunk are believed to
have been Norwegian. The raid was
in two parts In the waters off the
mouth of the Tyne the German de-
stroyers sank two neutral merchant
men and, either on their dash out. or
on their return, they attached the con-
voy somewhere in the North Sea"
and sent five neutral merchantmen,
one British, and the trawlcr. to the
bottom. The convoy was on the way
from Scotland to Norway, presum-
ably carrying English coal to the
Scandinavian country with a view to
bringing back foodstuffs.
I The mouth of the Tyne is some 260
miles north of London. 1t is the far
therest German sea forces have ven
turcd in months. The raid itself,
however, is an exact replica of the
exploit last October when German
light forces sank nine neutral mcr-

FREE NEWsPAPER NOTICES.
The foIlovgine notioe annaared iu

The following notice appeared in a recent issue of the Manchester Evening Herald": Hereafter all notices for dances and social affairs of public nature for which admission is to be charged, will be considered az advertisements. Notices of this kind will be published in the heading Future. Events, at the rate of 10 cents per line for each insertion. ''
 Our esteemed contemporary is to be commended for taking the above step Eventually all newspapers. including the Weeklies and semi -weeklies, will follow the example set by the Herald. '' There is absolutely no reason why free reading notices should be given to the various organizations or Individuals conducting dances, socials and other public functions, at which profit is expected. It's pure ly D commercial proposition and any notice of such events should be paid for. The people are expected to pay who attend these events. True, there are any number of apparently we'll meaning people who look on the news paper as an easy mark,'' and they have been so in tie habit of working some of them that it is difficult for some publishers of newspapers to cut away from the custom of boosting everything and everybody, helping others to make money though the free use of the advertising columns. It should stop. and nothing of a public nature, where there is profit in it for the promoters should get into ally newspaper free. IT stand taken by some newspaper publishers is belittling and humiliating. If they do not re- spect their profess ion and themselves, they must not expect anybody to respect them. The sooner the news paper publishers take firm stand on this all.important matter the better it will be for them and the public. No man in business to-day is giving away his stock in trade. Why, newspaper? !? Echo answers why. It isn't business: it's utter foolishness. Stop it. Lett the newspaper publishers get together to protect themselves and their pro- fession, one of the noblest, though least appreciated on earth. Rockville Leader.

staaa Nnmaa and Raal.

The extent to which favorite ac- tresses are somebody else off the stage is not well understood. Actors gener- ally play under their own names, but the woman who has achieved a repu- tation before marriage prefers to re- tain the name under which she became known rather than assume that of her husband. Some women, too, play while unmarried under another name than the real one.
 For instance, Maude Adams is really Miss Kiskaddel. and Marie Dressler is Leila KoerbSA. Jack and Ethel Bar rymore are properly called Blythe, and Truly Shattuck is Clarice Etrulia de Bucharde, name rather too long fo1. the stage. Theater goers seem to like short names easily remembered. Trixie Friganza isrealIy Della Edna O'Calla- nan, and Mary Mannerlng is Florence Friend; Elsie Janis was formerly Elsie Bierbower, and Margaret Anglin is Mary Warren.

Orkney laIanda In Pawn.

The Orkney islands, says Pearsons Magazine, do not really belong to Great Britain in the sense that they were ever ceded by treaty or acquired by conquest. They were simply trans. ferred by Denmark to Scotland in 146S, in pledge for the payment of the dowry of the Princess of Denmark, who was married to James III., king of Scot land. In the deed of transfer, which is still in existence, it is specially men, toned that Denmark shall have the right to redeem them at any future time by paying the original amount of the dowry with interest to date.
 There is no likelihood, however, that Denmark will ever attempt to exercise her right of redemption, because 6O,- 900 flOrins, the original amount of the dOwry, plus compound interest for AS years, would amount to perhaps f1, O00,OOO,O 100000, and that is a bit more than the islands are worth.

The Sna O4Anr

The sea otter is nearly twice the size of the common river otter, and the fur, without finishing or preparation of any kind, is more beautiful as 1t is stripped from the animal than the richest seal skin, which has to be scraped, plucked of the long upper hairs and then dyed before it could be recognized as the beautiful object which the finished fur undoubtedly is. In the sea otter's fur the soft undercoat, the true fur, is as thick as that of the seal and nearly twice as long, while the long outer hairs are as soft as n sable's tail and often a pale gray, which gives to the whole coat an appearance as of dark fur slightly frosted over.
