LONDON, August 1.-THE Daily News
correspondent in Rotterdam says that
a careful search discloses that only
one of the principal German news
papers published the kaiser's telegram
to President Wilson. 1t appears in the
Duesseldorfer General Anzeiger, with
out comment.
The only feasible explanation of the
non-appearance of the telegram in the
Berlin press and it's publication in this
Duesseldorfer journal is the interven-
ton of the censor.
1t is possible the message went direct
from here to Dusseldorf and thus did
not come under the hand of the Ber-
lin censor.

STRONG STUFF

The following from Don Marquis in the New York Sun aptly applies Co the editors of Che "Taku,' the first issue Of which will appear in a day or two, being the product of the brain of the best and most im- aginatiyc of the many bright stu- dents of the Douglas High school The "Taku" will be the first pub- Iication attempted by Douglas stu dents and. if reports are reliable, it win be a most creditable one. The editors sit in a circle, Planning their magazine; Bury and beetle-browed, With dirks at their browny thighs And each as he dips a skull Deep in a tub of blood
 And drinks with a toss
 or his battered head
 Bellows the toast: strong Stun!" Hircliugs that cover and cringc Bear Co them platters
 Heaped with bones of bulls, shoulder of the mammoth And rib of tho Asian elephant. And they growl and
 Crack the bones with their teeth; And they roar tll the rafters ring, Believing an together:
 Strong Stun"
 A poet who sits In the ante-room With the song Of violet Rugged to his heart
 Heard. and the sweat Of dread Bursts through his pallid skin. And the ink on his poem starts And runs in a purple tear. And he hears
 As he hits the stairway
 Bound for the friendly street The voices of editors,
 Rowling Strong stun!" The editors sit in circle Hairy of throat and chest. With caulinower ears
 And red-rimmed eyes,
 And they gnash their teeth Til the sparks
 Fly out of their mouths and noses. And one of the youngest rises And leaps in the air
 And bites himself
 On his own iron brow
 Jumps up and sinks his teeth Deep in his sinister forehead. And the others, applauding, Pound on the tables
 With bones Of bulls
 And shout in thcir gusty mirth, STRONG sTUFF!"

SHEEP FOR LAWN MOWERS.

Cleveland is planning to turn a
flock Of sheep loose in one of its city
PARKS The idea IS not merely, as
might be supposed, 10 add charming
pastoral element to tne park attrac
tiona, le Is to serve tie very practi-
cal purpose Of keepiAg the grass down.
Assurances have been received from
the Chicago parks department, which
has tried il, that sheep are fire little
animated lawn mowers
The Cleveland officials really should
not have found it necessary to go to
Chicago or any other city for informa-
tiCn on this matter. Any farmer
could have told IT, en- the same thing.
Many a fine field or lawn of turf. may
be found IN the oder country districts,
where it never occurs to man to use
muscle and machinery ,or cutting the
grass when nature has provided so ex-
cellont substitute.
And there's good suggestion for
city men and suburhanites weary OF
the task OF keeping u big lawn well
shaved. Don't wear yourself out sEov-
ing a mower. Don't hire man to do
1t, when that same man might be en-
gagged In productive work-cultivating
o GARDEN for instance. Just buy a
sheep AID turn It loose.

Uhich didn't happen 70 be at issue.
After holding that the authority OF
congress to establish an eight-hour
railroad law Is mot disputable' he
proceeded TO point out that the rail
road employees themselves should not
enjoy the strike privilege possessed
b. most workmen, because they are
really public ceryants.
Whatever would be the right he
said, of an employee engaged in pri.
waite business TO demand such wages
as lie desires. to leave the employ
ment il he does not get them, and by
concerted action to agree with others
to leave upon the same condition such
rights are necessarily subject to limi-
tation when employment is accepted

interest
THAT right" IN added, is ncccssar-
lily surrendered WHOM the men are en-
gagged In public service. They are
comparable to soldiers in the ranks
who, in the presence Of the enemies Of
their country, may not desert
This majority opinion Of the court
went further and specifically stated
that men engaged, like the railroad
brother,Cods, in business charged
with a public interest, arc subject to
the rights Of congress to compel arbl.
tration Of disputes between them and
thor employers.
Thus the way is cleared for the
Of a compulsory arhitra-

the TOBACCO ..,miT.

The increased interest in drug prob
lens has led to closer scrutiny Of the
most commonly used of all drugs
tobacco. DR.. Evans, writing In the
Chicago Tribune, points out that while
every tobacco user acquires q certain
tolerance OF nicotine that enables him
to resist it. there Is always q limit be-
You'd which 1t Is perilous to go. There
are some surprising and instructive
facts about that limit.
Men war; in their tolerance. Toll
erance is least in boys during Adde'S
cence and in men past 40. In addition
to variation In susceptibility due to
age, there Is sex variation. Men
stand more than women. There Is ra.
cial ,ariation. Turks and Spaniards
stand more than Americans. Then
there Is individual variation. Some
men are affected by small daily dose
kept up for but few years. Others
can stand much more, for a longer
time.
"Akiu to Individual variation Is fam
lily varij tion. II runs In certain fami'
lies to b. tolerant Of tobacco, whereas
memberl Of other families begin to
show thu effects OF tobacco poisoning
before they are 40 years OF age"
