Partisan journals, in noting the
death of Col. William F. Cody, are.
deeply sympathetic and recognize In
him the picturesque American product
that he was. This famous farwestern-
err who was known in France as here
as Buffalo Bill, on his arrival on the
continent at the end of the last CEN
tnry was the sensation not Of the hour
but Of the year, and his wide gray felt
bat, with its narrow band of leather,
was the fashion not alone in male
headwear, but in feminine adornment.
'Thanks to him." says French jour
nal, paris was made acquainted with
the many diverse races Of the new
world-redskins negroes Of Virginia,
cowsboys and others of multiple origin.
without counting East Indians, Chi.
nese, Arabs and Cossacks of the Don.i
The youth Of that day revered Colonel
William Cody. Some time later they
preferred Sherlock Holmes or Arsenel
Lupin."

New Meter Successful.

The latest development in metering
appliances is a coal meter built on the
principle Of a water or gas meter: This
instrument was devised primarily to
measure the coal consumption Of fac
tory boiler rooms, but it may find q
wider application on a smaller scale.
1t operates ON the same principle as
a water meter, the stream Of broken
coal pouring down chute and turn
ing an inclosed vane. The meter can
also be used for grain, according to
the inventor. Its use on coal was en-
tirely successful.

to help get recruits for the army.

taken by the government in time of

Washington. peremptory demand
upon Germany for the release of the
70 American seamen brought in by the
prize ship Yallcwdale was prepared at
the state department with President
Wilson's approval
There virtually is no hope here that
the hour of more serious trouble with
Germany can be postponed much
longer. Many responsible officials Of
the administration have come to the
conclusion that unless there Is a
prompt and decided change in the gem
eral attitude of Germany toward the
interests Of the United States, the APP
pearance of President Wilson before
congress to ask authority to afford
protection to American lives and prop
erty is only a matter of days.
Any doubt existing as to the ruth
less character of the new submarine
camaign and its violation of neutral
rights long since has disappeared, and
the situation is being made more and
more grave daily by aggravating Incl
dents.
Even If the president delays going
to congress longer than it is believed
in most quarters he will, the present
session comes to an end soon, and it is
regarded as inevitable that he will de-
liver another address on German-Amer.

plans worked out by the general staff.
The command includes all of the

disposition of regulars he felt he had
enough men to meet any border ext
gepcies that might arise.
