Other Steamers.

LONDON, ENG.-The admiralty an
nOunces the capture of four German
steamers by British destroyers in the
North sea. The steamers are the Peii-

Heinz Blumberg.
A Reuter- dispatch from Ymuiden

sunk by British destroyers in the
North sea, four captured, three strand
ed and three forced to return to Rot
terGam.
Since Saturday seventeen German
steamers have sailed from Rotterdam
three at one time and fourteen at
another-the dispatch says. Of the
first group one, the Magdalen Blumen.
shall, 1885 tons gross, was wrecked
off Zendvoort. OF the second group,
owing to the action of British Destroy
ers, not one vessel was able to pro-
coed, eight being captured or sunk and
three succeeding in putting back to
Rotterdam Of the three remaining
steamships, which were stranded, two
were a1re.

The situation is complicated by the

An Industrious People.

The japanese people, both male and
female, are remarkably Industrious.
They like sports. They seek enjoy
ment and recreation. They are ar

and learn. But they work hard and
long hours. They are persistent, de-
termined, and successful as individuals
and collectively. They are wonderful
copyists and assimilators. By nature,
the men generally are gentlemen and
the women ladies.
