Jumped From Movino Train.

A man whose last name is Berstein jumped from moving train on the Ar Line about one mile this side of Chestnut Hill Tuesday afternoon and the only injury received was a small cut around the right eye. He was re- turning from his work and was asleep when the train stopped at Chestnut Hill, the station at which he was to get off. He did not wake up until the train had left the station and then jumped from the platform. It is a wonder how he escaped with the one cut but the speed of the train which is not known may account for the slight injury. He got up himself and walked two miles to his home.

Reports from Holland maintain re- serve concerning the pope's peace note. It is asserted in some quarters that hopes are held in Holland that both groups of belligerents will eventually ask the queen of the Netherlands to act as intermediary, thus making it advisable for the Dutch to remain aloof now from any attempt to bring about peace, which is destined to fail if not desired by both sides. The pie ture is one of the most recent of Queen Wilhelmina, her husband. Prince Hen ry, and their daughter. Princess Juli- ana.

Lord Robert Cecil then entered into

so far it has had little effect on the
entry Of supplies to this country, but It
has interfered to some extent with
trade between neutral nations.
For instance, as you know, most OF
the vessels trading from Scandinavia
and Holland to and from America put
into the United Kingdom by agree
ment in order to avoid the trouble and
danger Of visit and search on the high
seas. Some of these vessels are re-
luctant to continue this practice, fool
ishly, we think, since the danger Of
putting into United Kingdom port -
