A Schoolr1a5ter's Story.

Happening into a classroom of boys
recently I gave them this opinion:
You desire to know just how old l
am, so am going to have you figure
it out for yourselves and this is the
problem: am twice one-ha!f the ago
of my twin brother and he is thirty
three years old, now how old am II"
Tho boys were in their third year i'll he
grammcr grade and were not re ckoncd
stupid or backward by their teacher
yet this statement of the question was
20 much puzzle to them. that only
four boys out of tifty-one present
caught on to the question and gave
q correct answer I fully expected
every one would answer correctly, anG
requested all to stand and 10 resume
their seats, when an answer was given
that was Ike theirs. Most of the boys
insis:e that 1 was sixty-six years OF
age, some that I was forty-nine and a
half years old, others various answers,
md but four that was about us old

Michaelis Calls War

He Was Appointed Is
Cited in Holland
lcouc,pondence Of Tho Associated rrc.'I

AMSTERDAM. Oct. 49, An assertion
by Dr. Gcorg Michnclis, the German
Imperial Chancellor. that God has
sent this fearful war rs judgment for
our sins" ia one Of his former utter
anccs that have been widely cited in
Germany and the Netherlands since
DR.. Michaelis was appointed TO his
present high position.
The declaration was made by Dr..
Michaelis "a president OF the German
Christian Students Union, and was
published last year in the organ Of
that union. II reads:
people who can fully comprehend
the economic problems Of requisition-
ment. confscation and distribution are
easily counted; the number Of critics
rs legion. lie who judges specifically
and openly criticises, without an
earnest desire TO get right to the root
Of the matter, who says or repeats
things which depreciate the serious
work Of the government. is acting un-
scrupulously. from patriotic point
Of view.
"ln the realm Of foreign policy there
Is q multitude Of know-alls. I'm so far
as they undermine confidence i'm the
government they are SHINING against
the Fatherland. Every one knows
from his own experience that succes IS
depends on confidence. Every one may
ponder over the fate Of his people, but
TO do this in public without an under
standing of things is criminal"

Jersey Gas Concerns Lose
State Refuses Permission to
Lower Standard

TRENTON. Oct. H. The state
Board Of Public Utilities to-day de-
MED the petition signed by almost
,very gas company in the state asking
That the standard Of their product be
lowered. This plea, according 20 the
companies, was made in the cause Of
patriotism. ..-,
out that by-products Of gas manu-
fecture. such M trinitrotoluol, were
immensely important 10 the govern
mont and could be extracted entirely
from the gas only By lowering the
standard.
The state board. on the other hand
pointed. out that n plant at Camden
was extracting all the trinitrotoluol
from he gas and, in addition, was
maintaining the present standard
with this in view, it refused the re-
quest. aging that If the existing rate
we're no longer reasonable because Of
the war IL would consider advancing
il. but would not tolerate a reduction
in the quality Of the gss.

u. S. Aids Swedes
To Recover Mail

WASHINGTON, Oct. If was stat
cd in diplomatic circles to-day that the
State Department at the request Of W..
A.. +. Ekengren, the Swedish Minister
had communicated with Ambassador
Page i'm London in an effort 20 assist
the Swedish Legation in Washington
TO obtain the release Of the mail
pouches brought from Stockholm,
seized By the British authorities at
Halifax and afterward forwarded here.
This action was said to be in addition
to the transmission by the State De-
partment Of a telegram in the Swedish
code from the legation here to the
Swedish Foreign Office.
Minister Ekengren was reported 20
have satisfied Counsellor Frank L. Polk,
of tho State Department, Of the neu-
trail character Of the contents OF the
pouches and Of the correctness Of the
Swedish contention that the pouches
had not been opened en- route, as the
British authorities alleged, the seals
not having been broken. 10 was said
also Mr.. Ekengren protested strongly
against the alleged British violation Of
Sweden's diplomatic inviolability in in
terfering with the Foreign Offices dip
lOmatic couriers who were in charge of
the pouches.
Il was stated By an official that the
United States has no direct interest IN
the affair, inasmuch as the mail pouches
were not seized upon either American
territory or aboard an American ship,
Notwithstanding the pouches were des-
tined for the Swedish Legation In the
United States.
The mail in the pouches, now I'm the
British Embassy at Washington, was
sent from Stockholm after German
Minister Won Luxburg sent his famous
message from Buenos Ayres 10 Berlin
in Swedish diplomatic pouch. In this
message Won LuXburg urged that Ar
gentipe ships In the war be either
spared or sunk without leaving a trace
("spurlos yersenkt"J.
The mail now IN question was dis
matched before Secretary Of State Ian
sing exposed Won Luxburg and brought
out the fact that Swedish diplomatic
representatives probably had assisted
German embassies 20 communicate with
their home Office in like manner on
many other occasions. The senders of
the mail, therefore, had no reason TO
suspect that their words would ever
fall into the hands of those for whom
they were not intended

Rome under peculiar circumstances,
two facts being so prominent as TO
make ministerial crisis possib t..
Owing TO their nature they will prob
ably be discussed only IN secret ses-

occurred in Turin the latter part Of
August, due in part 70 the delay in
providing the town with sufficient
bread, and, in part, TO political dis
content.
The other question concerns the gen
eral food crisis throughout Italy, which
led 10 the resignation Of the food CON
troller, Giuseppe Canepa, whose place
has been taken by General Alheri
The Turin riots lasted several days
and the authorities were obliged to use
machine guns, while some barricades
were destroyed by bombs thrown from
airplanes. this being the first time air
