GERMAN COMPANIES GROW.

Berlin, Feb. Notwithstanding that the two great war loans Of 1916 absorbed over 21 billion marks, more capital also went into German com mercial companies than in 1915. The total amount absorbed by new and old companies was 616,S00,000 marks. This was 14S,000.O00 more than for 1915, but it was 529,000,000 less than for 1913.

BRITISH AND FRENCH FOLL0W LINCOLN'S LIFE
President Hibben of Princeton Tells How War Presidents Career
 Moulding Foreign Opinion.

Springfield H., Feb. 12.-On this, the 1OSth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the name of the martyed president is being revered in EnglahG and France as never before, and in tho midst of the great Euro pean war his words are being used to mould public opinion and to stimu- late the Spirit of volunteer service; and his life is even being followed as pattern of British and French statemanship, said President John Grier Hibben of Princeton university in an address before the Lincoln Cen tennial association here today.
 "He has become indeed the type, the symbol and the incarnation to other peoples the world over of that which they prize above even life itself," said Dr. Hibben. "This is il. lustrated in the striking attitude to- wards Lincoln of France and Great Britain today Yearning for some ideal to steady and inspire them, some great memory, some vision of a spirit standing within the shadow of this terrible war, they find their longing realized in the noble nature and oracular words of Lincoln.
 In letter which 1 received from one who was in Great Britain during the first months of the war, it is stat ed that after the first shock of the war the most serious minded of the English again and again gave cx- pression to their thought in the words: We need a Lincoln Times like these call for an Abraham Lin- coln.' Tn this present situation what would Lincoln have done?"

FOOD QUESTION CAUSES SPLIT.

Luxemburg, Feb. 1.-The ques- tion Of food supply has led to the resignation of the coalition cabinet, after a brief ten months existence. The resignation was the direct result of vote of lack of confidence in Dr. Welter, the Socialist Minister for agriculture. It is expected that re- constructed ministry, from which Minister Welter is excluded, will suc- ceed to power.
 Luxemburg is almost entirely cut off from foreign supplies, and the nome harvests are inadequate, es- pecially as regards grain and pota- toes. Into the bargain. much discon- tent had arisen in consequence of al- leged faulty organization. and the bit terest complaints were leveled at Dr. Wclter, even the Liberals and Social ists deserting him.

Little Rock, Feb. 12.-The prosecut- ing attorneys of Arkansas, or a good portion of them, met in Little Rock Monday and presented an appeal to the general assembly to assist them in enforcing the "bone dry" law by mak- ing some inducement to the sheriff and constable to ferret out violations of the law.
 The prosecutors have asked the as sembly to enact a law which will give peace officers the same fees in prose- cutting the ''bone dry" cases that are awarded in felony cases. They state that the prosecuting attorneys cannot get out personally and look for viola tions of the new liquor laws, and it is not right to ask the peace officers to do it without compensation.

DON QUIxOTE By Theodore Maynard

ne ar IS valiant with drums And honorable the skies. " nen ne rides singing as he comes With solemn dreamy eyes Ci swinging Of the splendid swords And crashing of the neither lords when Hell makes onslaught with it's
 hordes
 In desperate emprise. Oh rides along the roads of Spain The champion of the world. For Whom great soldans live again With Moorish boards curIed- But all their spears shall not avail With one who weareth magic mail. This hero of an epic tale
 And his brave gauntlet hurled Clangor of horses and arms
 Across the quiet fields. Herald and trumpeter, alarms
 Of bowmen and of shields. When doubt that twists and is afraid Is shattered in the last crusade. Where flaunts the plume and falls the
 blade
 The cavalier wields.
 No liegemen gather now Altho in that eternal cause Nor lowered danes to grant applause Yet on his naked brow All victor's laurels interwreath But he no dover can bequeath But sword snapt short and empty
 sheath
 And errantry and vow, Against his foolish innocence
 No man alive can stand, Nor any giant drive him hence
 With sling or club or brand For when his angry bugle blows There fall unconquerable foes, Of mighty men of war none knows To stay his witless hand. All legendary wars seem tame,
 And every tale gives place Before the knights unsullied name
 And his romantic face: Yea, he shall break the stoutest bars And bear his courage and his scars Beyond the whirling moons and stars And all the suns of space!
