Oh, Miss Grey, how some

PROHIBIT TEA

"The police authorities" says
the Berlin Tageblatt, "haye sent
us the following notification:
"'Our attention has been called
to the many 5 o'clock tea parties
which are being given in various
parts of the city. The public
are therefore enjoined henceforth
to abstain from such functions,
which are now expressly forbidden
under severe penalties
I'VE confess that we are pug
zled by this order. 1t surely cannot
be intended to suppress the activi-
ties of benevolent societies, which
frequently arrange a o'clock tea
gathering on their program Is 1t
the consumption Of tea that the
authorities intend to stop, or Is the
order the outcome merely of a.
rather childish objection to the

FRENCH PARLIAMENT WAS
REOPENED YESTERDAY
Premier Ribot Tells of Diminished
Loss of Tonnage by Submarines.

Paris, May %, 500 p m-Parlia-
ment was reopened today, and the ex-
pected interpretations regarding the
conduct of the war were presented in
the chamber. Addressing the deputies
in regard to the interpretations, Pre-
mier Ribot said: Concerning the in
terpe1lations on the last offensive, it
may be said there were some excessive
hopes and some errors of execution,
but the results obtained should be nei-
ther exaggerated nor belittled. Never
have our soldiers proved more ad-
mirable.
THE government has thought some
changes should be made, and it has
made them. 1t has reorganized the
high command so as to relieve it of
everything not connected with mill
tary operations. I ask postponement
of the discussion on this point until
the work of bringing about this CO.
operation has been concluded.
'1n reference to submarine warfare,
recognize that. while the tonnage
loss has diminished, we must seek
more energetic and decisive means of
dealing with submarines. We will con-
slider that situation further on Fri
day.
"As to the food supply, we are ready
to discuss it as soon as possible be-
lieving that the country has not been
sufficiently informed"

$4,000 SUBSCRIBED FOR
ATLANTA FIRE SUFFERERS
Plans Have Been Made to Rebuild the
Burned Section.

Atlanta, Ga, May 22-With relief
work under way and 1000 subscribed
for immediate aid to sufferers from
yesterdays $3.500,000 fire, plans were
made tonight to begin rebuilding. the
burned section in northeastern Atlanta
within week.
Telephone linemen went through
the devastated district today cutting
away wires that might endanger lives,
while the street car company began to
clear its wires and city wagons to
move the rubbish from the streets.
Relief organizations were busy un-
tangling the human maze. An during
the day families who had become sep
arated were brought together through
the work OF workers of the Red Cross
and their furniture hauled away from
vacant lots and from sidewalks around
the fire lines.
A hailstorm and heavy rain in the
afternoon caught much of the house,
hold effects still unsheltered and add
ed several thousand dollars to the loss.
The flames destroyed 1868 buildings
according to calculations of real es-
tate and insurance men. Most of the
structures were residences but several
apartment houses, churches and retail
stores were burned.
Today the Red Cross esta blished a
house through which trucks
and wagons were furnished free for
return of household effects to hun
dreds OF homes skirting the burned
area and from which families had been
driven last night, after being told that
their homes would have to be dyna-
mited.
Guard duty still was maintained to-
night and perfect order was reported.

DEVICE RENDERS SHIPS
IMMUNE FROM SUBMARINES.
Hudson Maxim, Inventor. Says 1t is
Practical for Every Type of Vessel.

New York, May 22.-Hudson Maxim
announced today that he had invented
and perfected device which will make
ships immune from the dangers of the
submarine. He said that torpedoes.
even when fired at close range and
striking their targets, would explode
harmlessly against the hull of their
intended victims.
The inventor made the announce
ment at a luncheon given in Brooklyn.
He asserted that the invention soon
will be demonstrated by the govern
ment, which already had been advised
of the details.
1.-THE invention is practical for every
type of vessel" he said. TT can be
applied within a few months at a
comparatively cheap price to the hulls
of ships already constructed. The
only change necessary in vessels al
ready built will be a slight enlarge
nnent in their beam. My device is of
solid material and encircles the entire
hull of the ship from the bow to the
stern. 1t in no sense resembles either
a. screen or net"
