Two German Vessels Here
Seized by the Government
Continued From Page one.)

yond the removal of a steam patch
on the boiler of one OF them. This
may be repaired with little trouble
and with very little work, the steam
ers could be placed in active service
should Uncle Sam elect to so use
them.
Boats Here Two Years.
The two steamers came into this
port few days previous to the dec
laration of war nearly three years
ago. The Vogeson came in with a
cargo of kainit salts from Hamburg,
and it might be stated this was the
last cargo of that material coming
from Germany to this port. Dis
charging the same the Vogeson
hauled out into the stream, and mas
been here ever since. Once during
the storm she went up into shallow
water when dragging anchor, put
was hauled off.
The Rudolf Blumberg was in port
when the declaration of war on the
part of Germany was issued. This
vessel was then finishing up CARGO
of timber and lumber for Spanish
norts. The cargo was completed and
the Blumberg hauled out into the
stream. Remainin" for months with
said cargo aboard, it was decided to
unload and reship the timber and
/ lumber, and this was done after the
steamer went up to Perdido wharf
{ After that the steamer hauled out
! into the stream and has remained
/ here since.
! Just few days before war was de-
clared in Europe the German steam
! er Frieda Leonhardt steamed from
Pensacola for Wilmington, n. j. OH

Jacksonville, and was there seizeC

All over the country German
steamers have been seized The list

Woman Horse Nurse

In London Messrs. MacNamara, who
employ about forty woman drivers.
have put their horse hospital entirely
in charge of women. Mrs. Parry, the
superintendent, says they have thirty
to forty patients Say. She and three
assistants do all cleaning, grooming,
feeding and administering of medi-
cines prescribed by the veterinary sur
geon. The animals, she says, are
grateful and companionable, apd she
has no doubt that women will want
to keep on with this work after the
war. "We do not baby the horses, +"
she says. Somehow we reform the
worst cases of temper, and the women
can do anything they like with even
fractions, nervous and suffering
horses. The effect on the nerves Of
the horses, and consequently on their
value, is noticeable"

AN OFFICIAL STORY TELLER
Libraries in Canada Find Special Fea.
ture for the Entertainment of
Children is Worth While.

In several of the public libraries of
Canada story telling to children has
for some years been special feature,
says an exchange. Each Saturday morn.
ing from fifty TO one hundred children
assemble at the library In a room set
apart for the purpose and called the
"Children's Room" The ages of the
children vary from six to fourteen
years.
At st. John. New Brunswick, story
telling has been continued now for
three years. This year 1t has been
found advisable to divide the children
according to age and to hold two
classes of half an hour each. The
work has steadily grown In interest,
anu the demand for books of a less
trivial type justlfies the work of the
committee In charge. During the sum-
mer. whom opportunity offers and a
story-teller of note is a guest of the
city, notice Is given to the library, and
it is often possible to have u special
session.

Most Powerful Aggregation of
Superfighting Vessels Ever
Assembled.
HOLD MOCK BATTLES DAILY
Is Governed by One Of the Most Eff.
cient Business Administrations in
Hlstory-EVery Vessel ProVi-
stoned for Two Months.

LondOn.-Britain's grand fleet is not
only the greatest and most powerful ag-
gregation of superfghting vessels ever
assembled by a nation but is undOubt-
edly governed by one of the most efh-
cient business administrations In naval
history. The enormous Outpourlng of
treasure in money and supplies requir-
ed to keep the grand fleet in condition
TO leave at a moments notice for an
engagement with the enemy accom-
plishes maximum results. After a
weeks visit with the feet, the New
York Suns correspondent was able to
obtain a general idea of the results at
tanned and of the plans upon which
this enormous fighting force operates.
Primarily the grand fleet is protect
ing England from an attack by the Ger
man fleet. Since the beginning OF the
war Germany has known of the exist
ence of this superior force lying silent
ly in wait at its base in northern wa
tiers and the thought of contact with it
has kept the Teuton navy well within
protected harbors.
Secondarily the British battle cruis-
er squadrOns are acting as protecting
force for the Scandinavian traffic, and
now that America has brought into be-
ing a line of communications across the
Atlantic, Britain's fleet acts as guard

VOICES MUST BE PLEASANT
Hospital Nurses Undergo Course Of
Training in Some Institutions to
Cultivate Refined Speech.

eff the success or failure of a physi-
clan is, in some cases as least, deter.
mined by his tongue. how much more
important is this matter of speech to
the nurse, who must be constantly with
the patient, and whose every look and
gesture are watehed-targets for criti-
cism, silent or open," writes DR.. Irving
w. Voorhees, in the Nurse sit is said
that in some hospitals this question
of refined, pleasing speech has become
a part of the nurses course OF train
ing, and that she is demerited for dis
regard of the principles as set forth
by her teachers. Although l have no
personal knowledge of these hospitals,
it is certainly a consummatiOn davout-
ly to be wished that every one who
comes into the sick room should know
how to speak softly and agreeably."
Doctor Voorhees, says European ma
tions realize the Importance of the
nurses voice AID insist upon it far
more than we do. And any woman
who plans to become a hospital nurse
and has not a pleasing voice already
should start at once to cultivate one.
The sick are very sensitive to voices:
the blind are especially affected by
harsh voices, so much so that some
wealthy blind men will not permit a
person whose voice is not pleasant to
come near them.

Arrive and Depart.

Arrivals" and departures" have a
definite place in French trench philol-
ogy. When the American troops first
entered the trenches their French COM
rades were very anxious to have them
distinguish accurately between the
noise of arrives" and departs" "I
thought they were talking har0or
clear&nces at first" said one Yankee
lad. ''Then l heard a low, whining
sound and a she'll exploded behind us.
I'm arrive said my companion. He
signlfied that it waS a present from
the Germans. Soon there was louder,
sharper sound. 1t was a responsive
roar from our own batteries. I'm de-
part he said with great satisfaction.
'VoilaP we had 1t. The exchange of
artillery fire is, after all, a matter of
arrivals and departures Needless
to say, the departs enjoy the wider
popularity"

Similarly, the house stands upon the
site of a manor house which was old
when the manor was granted by Ed
mund, Earl of Lancaster, a son of Hen
ry III, to Sir Nicholas de Villiers, In
1910. But it would be difficult to point
to stonework even of that date, though
probably it exists in the foundations
and the core of some of the walls.
The Hungerford family came into
possession In about 1861, and remained
lords of the manor till 1858. The archi-
tectural features of the present house
date from rebuilding in 1887, when
the house belonged to the HLngerfords.
Sir Anthony Hungerford, who succeed
ed his father, Sir John, in 1925, was
the builder Of the charming gate house,
Of the great hall, and certain other
works, many of which have vanished
in later rebuildings, or have been meta
morphOsed into more modern forms.
The estates were purchased by an an
cestor of the earl of ST. Germans, the
present owner, early In the eighteenth
century.
Down Ampney church, as might be
expected. has many links with the
lords of the hall, which it so closely
adJoins. 1t is, In fact, abreast of the
gate-hOuse. Its chief feature Is the
beautiful thirteenth century tower and
stone spire. The upper stage of the
tower has it's windows designed In a
sort OF arcade, with moulded arches
and shafts, and over this a parapet
with block corbels. The stonework,
though weather-stained and llchen-
coated, is extraordinarily sharp, and
has preserved the peculiar orange-pink
