GERMAN SHIPPING is REVIVED
kaiser's Vessels Are Now Carrying
Coal From Rotterdam to
Scandinavia.

Rotterdam, Netherlands.-A re-
vival in German shipping is the latest
curious feature of Rotterdam's water
traffic. No fewer than IA German
steamships arrived in port within 48
hours few days ago. Their occu-
patton is perhaps still more strange,
for, coming in ballast, they are engaged
In carrying German coal at Rotterdam,
and carrying it to German and Swe-
dish ports.
The coal is mostly brought down the
Rhine in barges, the object achieved
by this latest move being a tightening
of the overwhelmed German railways,
where, on top of the pressure of wars
demands has come the shortage Of
rolling stock due to the increased
wear and tear resulting from lack of
sufficient lubricating oil.
The new idea was first tested One
or two vessels laid up at Rotterdam
In loading German coal at Rotterdam,
Hugging the coast, they arrived safe
ly at Emden. Then an occasional
German ship arrived to take a cargo
of coal. The experiment proved sue
cessful.

FROM WAR SHIRKER TO HERO
Remarkable Career of Henry Bella
more, Once Rampant English
Pacifst.

London. - Conscientious objector
shirker, volunteer soldier and now one
of England's dead heroes-that is the
war career of Henry Bellamore.
When war came, Bellamore called it
the devils invention. He fought
against CONSUMPTION on conscientious
grounds, preferring Jail to the bat
tlefeld.
'If I ever see a wounded soldier fall
with his crutches, l won't help him
up again." said Bellamore. This so
aroused his neighbors at Bath that they
burned him in effigy.
A few weeks later he experienced a
change of heart. Though exempted
from the army, he volunteered. Soon
he was the most popular soldier in
his regiment, the duke of Cornwall's
light infantry.
Recently the former conscientious
objector was killed in action.

PLAN SUIT FOR BOTH SEXES
British Consider Means Of Simplify
ING Professionalism Willing to
Have Showdown.

London.-Mere man is willing to
wear semimilitary breaches and other
rational" clothing If women will wear
'em, too. Then, the man-person fig
ures, neither sex will be apt to do any
tittering over the shape of the others

English tailors have devised uni
form for civilian wear with the hope
Of simplifying clothes production.
1t consists of tunic, slightly mill
tary, breaches resembling those worn
by the cavalry, puttees or stockings,
and cap.
Many persons, men and women,
showed alarm over the suggested uni
form and were promptly accused OF
hiding bow-legs, knock-knees and alb
sent calves. The owners of shapely
underpinnings, especially the men, are
perfectly willing to have show

they could. They had reached point

When they encountered the searching
parry from the copper company.
Lieutenant Robertson said that
when he and Lieutenant Colonel BiSh-
op left San Diego he set his course
for CaleXicO by the compass. There
seemed to have been deviation Of

currents which threw him off his
course.

to civilization.
Day after day and night after night
the two army aviatOrs travelled sub
Sisting on the food they carried with
them, which was so scant it lasted but
little time.
On last Wednesday Bishop became
so weak he could walk no further. He
told Robertson he had better go on
and save himself if he could Robert
son bade his cOmrade good-by and left
him to what he thought would be his
fate. He had walked 80 miles from
the point where he left Bishop when
picked up. Immediately after he was
rescued party was dispatched for

Is located to conveyance.

Men at the heads Of departments

each step as it comes, and they know
what the results should be. You have
to produce. =
These men know you have been I'M
faithful to your job, even though you
advanced a seemingly good excuse for
failure.
There may be some reason why they
don't wish to speak to you today
about your deception.
Perhaps they won't ask you till you
ask for a raise of salary.
Maybe they won't take the trouble
to do more than turn you down.
Be sure they know you as we'll as
you know yourself. They do not pay
salaries without study and careful
consideration of those to whom the
money is paid. Passable showing
does not count in business.
Excuses are not accepted for long
