Fools Austrians

LONDON. Nov. 1.-THE story Of
how an American woman's action
saved important British dispatches
when the vessel on which they were
being carried TO Malta was held up
by an Austrian submarine, was told
Friday by Capt. Stanley Wilson. who
was carrying the dispatches and who
himself was taken prisoner by the
Austrians and only recently releas-
ed.
Capt Wilson told the military
court which is investigating his cap
ture. that he threw one bag over
board but that TO his horror it did
not sink as he had supposed il
would AT this juncture he was ap-
preached by an American woman
tray Yelling on the steamer who offer
Cd to take charge OF the other bags
laying she wished to do something
for England.
"It was a great respons bility"
said Capt. Wilson, but I took il
and my action was justified, as the
bags reached London"
The bags were hidden BY the
American woman until the Austrians
had concluded the search.

DR.. ZIMMERMANN.
German Chancellor Names as Foreign
Office Head Diplomat Who Opposed
Submarine Tactics Inausurated
To Destroy Shipping.

Berlin.-The official announcement
was made on August that five min
listers of state, including Foreign Sec
rotary Zimmerman and four score
taries of state, including Finance Min
lister Lentze and Interior Minister Won
Loebell. had resigned their portfolios.
DIR. Richard Won Kuehlmann, the
German ambassador to Turkey, has
been appointed secretary for foreign
affairs in succession to DIR. thinner
mann.
In a character sketch of DIR. Rich
ard Won Kuehlmann Gust appointed
German secretary for foreign affairs)
the Nieuwe Courant of The Hague
says that DIR. Won Kuehlmann has al
ways been vigorous opponent of
ruthless submarine warfare. He is
also, says the newspaper a disciple
of the policy of doing everything pos
sible to avoid the further alienation of
Great Britain, believing that after-the-
war friendship between Great Britain
and Germany is necessary to the lat
| ter.
DIR. Won Kuehlmann, the Nieuwe
| Courant adds, is an anti-annexationist
and the newspaper expresses the
opinion that in the foreign secretary
ship he will do his utmost to bring
about al understanding with England
at the earliest possible time.
The comment of the Berlin news
papers on the new appointment of i'm
perial and Prussian ministers takes
the line that no great advance has
been made In the direction of parlia-
| mentaI1SIn.
The Tageblatt regards the changes
as unimLortant for the development
of the empire. The Vossische Zeitune
says the new government is not likely
to give the impression of being of the
parliamentary order. The Woke lei
tung comments that the most favor
able thing that can be said about the
development is that there has been III
infusion of fresh blood into thu
bureaucracy.

The crux.


He'd never really been keen on sol
diering.
He'd only gone into the army be-
cause he couldn't very well avoid 1t.
But hitherto he had gone through
with 1t without making a conspicuous
ass of himself.
Now, however, that the moment was
at hand, the moment that would really
test him, he knew himself for q cow
ard
He felt worm, jelIy-fish, no man
The felt in fact, conglomeration Of
all the emotions that analytical novel
lists, depicting their heroes in blue
funk, had described at length In the
days before there was paper short
age.
And the earth refused to open and
swallow him.
And even the opportunity of running
aaway was denied him, for the brutal
:.sergeant-he'd always disli1ed that
Rarticular sergeant-had set him In
front of the first rank inside the hol-
low square and was huskfly whispering
In his ear: Now, me lad, If yer will
be blinkin' hero, go up and take yer
medicine"
Corporal Smith," called an officer
reading from paper.
And Corporal Smith guiItiIy crawIed
forward to receive from the hands OF
the general the decoration he had
earned in France.-London Opinion.

How Alexander Assumed powsr.

AS the old legend goes, the father
of Greek King Midas, once king OF
Phrygia, was originally poor peasant.
The people of Phrygia being much dis
turbed, an oracle had informed them
that wagon would bring them a king
who would put an end to all thefr
troubles. Not long after this saying
Gordlus Midas father) suddenly ar
rived in the midst of an assembly OF
the people, riding in his wagon. At
once. to the great surprise of Gordius,
they made him king. In his gratitude,
Gordius dedicated the wagon to the
god Zeus, and it was placed in the
acropolis at Gordlum. The pole of the
wagon was tied to the yoke by knot
of bark, and second oracle declared
that whoever united that knot should
reign over all Asia. 1t was Alexander
who united the knot with his sword
thus assuming himself to be the man
referred to by the oracle.
