London, Jan. %. - German rejoicing
over the exploits of the commerce raid
er in the south Atlantic is unboundcd,
according to an Amsterdam dispatch to
the Times. Captain Persius. the Ger
man naval critic. writing in the Tage
blatt. recalls that when German de-
stroyers carried out attacks in the
English channel and at the mouth of
the Thames in October and November,
Arthur Balfour. then secretary of the
navy. assured the house Of commons
that the British guard service would be
careful in the future that the Germans
would never again venture such expe-
ditions against the British"
The critic says that Sir Edward Car
son has been unable to justify these
assertions and declares that German
light vessels have made various at
tacks in British waters. and the Moewe
II. a big above-water ship, successfully
passed the British advance guards and
reached the Atlantic.
"Our thoughts" concludes the critic,
will accompany the Moewe II and our
hopes are with it's brave crew.
The Times correspondent says the
chief of the German admiralty staff,
when congratulating Lieutenant Bade-
witz the prize commander of the far-
rowdale. asked whether 1t was not
a ticklish job to take care of i69 pris-
oners with such a small crew. He an
swered that he considered the situa-
ton safe as long as "ono had n pistol"
He also said that feeding the prisoners

M-aIIah Rookh" Centenary.

Is the war holding back any poem
comparable with "Lallah Rookh," the
publication of which was delayed by
the Waterloo campaign, and took place
just a century ago?
Perhaps few read the famous ORR
entail romance nowadays, but Moore's
reputation when he wrote it was such
that he was able to sell it when he
had scarce put pen to paper. Murray
offered 1000 guineas for it, but the
poets friends thought this too little,
and approached Longman, STIMULATING
that the price should be mot less than
the largest amount ever paid for a
poem" That" said Longman, twas
the $4,000 paid for 'Rokeby,'" and on
that basis a bargain was struck, the
publishers only stipulation being that
Moore's poem should be equal to
Scott's in length. Even so, Longman
had the best of the bargain. Seven
large editions were sold within a year,
and quarter of century later Long
mans still regarded "Lallah Roolh" as
'the cream of copyrights. "-Manches-

Antitrust Laws Of OLE.

In one of the famous English cases
referred to in Chitty's "Criminal Law"
it was decided that spreading rumors
with intent to raise the price of a par
ticular species of product, endeavoring
to enhance its price by persuading
others from abstaining from bringing
it to market, and engrossing large
quantities in order to resell them at
the exorbitant prices occasioned by
their own articles, are offenses indict-
able at common law, and subject the
party so acting to fine and imprison-
ment at the discretion of the court

Manipulating a Blanket.

Learning how to manage blanket
that is little short at one end and
not quite long enough at the other,
with similar deficiencies in width, is
one of the first things the young sol
der should be taught. If he is not
taught it, he will probably have an ex-
perience like that of western recruit
who says that in his first week in camp
he lost great deal of sleep at night.
When he lay on his back his stomach
was cold; when he turned over his
back was cold; when he pulled the
blanket up around his shoulders he got
cold feet. and when his feet were I'M

Portable. A veterans recipe may.
however, be worth considering. He
says the only way to manipulate an

pull your knees up to your chin, lie
face downward. and hold the four COR

QUICK AID GIVEN WOUNDED
Rapid Treatment After Battle and
New Cleansing Methods Save
Lives of Many Soldiers.

( Lieut.. Col. Gilbert Darling, @. b.,
famous English surgeon who is con-
sulting surgeon to the great base hos
pitfalls at Rouen, which accommodate
$4,000 patients, says that since the war
began immense strides have been made
in the surgery of the battlefield. Two
improvements that may be noticed as
having taken place since the outbreak
of hostilities, writes q correspondent of
the New York Times, are in connection
with the rapid treatment of the wound
ed after big battle and the cleansing
of wounds.
Five or ten miles behind the fighting
sufficient casualty clearing stations
each holding about 1000 men-have
been organized to deal with all the
casualties that may reasonably be ex-
pected, so that once man is picked up
by the stretcher bearers he receives
adequate treatment within very short
time. Here also Is special hospital,
perhaps of 80 beds, for abdominal
cases, which are the most urgent.
In the old days such wounds, because
of the delay before they could be treat
ed and cleaned, were generally consid-
cred to be fatal; but under the new
conditions, by which a man so hit is
placed in an ambulance and sent off
Immediately, if necessary, without
waiting for other wounded to be placed
in with him, the dangerous delay is
overcome, and the wound kept aseptic
and more amenable to treatment.

CHAPTER XIII.

Rodney Gets Clear View of Himself.
1t was Rose herself who began this
correspondence with Rodney, within a
month of her arrival in New York.
If Rodney had done an unthinkable
thing; if he had kept copies of his let
tiers to Rose, along with her answers,
in chronological file. he would have
made the discovery that the stiffness
of those letters had gradually worn
away and that they were now a good
deal more than mere pro forma bulle-
tins. There had crept into them, SO
subtly and so gently that between one
of them and the next no striking diff
ference was to be observed, friend.
