Some Observations.

Experience never makes fools
Of wise men.
Faultfnding is unlike charity,
yet it usually begins at home.
Vanity makes Il lot of re-
munerative work for the beauty
doctors.
You never really know your
friends until they become your
; enemies.
1t is awfully hard to get rich
according to the methods pre-
Scribcd in books.
Some men don't mind getting
it in the neck if their neighbors
get it just as hard.
Good sense is better than
good looks, but so few people
are afflicted with either!

What Camouflace Is

Camoutlage is simply the art oF dis
guising military objects by any Means

the word has been mnted from camun-

For some time the Moody Bible inSti'
tute has been urged to add to its &C
tivities the work of promoting dali!
Bible reading. There are several CT.
ganizations already doing excellent
work along this line, but most of them
reach only limited number of people
For this reason, and for the further
reason that in spite of all that is being
done, there yet remains a large mum
her of processing Christians who arc
doing no systematic reading of tho
Bible, and millions of others who al
most ignore the book, we feel led tt
urge the readers Of this column to co
operate in this work.
We realize that the members al
Christian Endcavor societies, and
smaller organizations. are already
pledged to read the Bible daily. Fur
thcrmore, the covenants of most
churches require their members to dc
the same, but large proportion OF
Gods people, both young and old, are
not doing it, and therein lies thCil
weakness

How to induce them to do what they
already admit is their duty, is The
problem. To scold them is worse than
useless. To bind upon them addi'
tional pledges is Improbable. The only
method which seems likely to succeed,
is for pastors and lay workers to make
the Bible so interesting and attractive
that people will feel that they cannot
afford to neglect it. That we cannot
make it interesting to others, unless
we enjoy it ourselves, is evident, bat
we must enjoy 1t, or resign our posi-.

it.

Even so, the pastor or lay worker who

CAPTURE OF SUBMARINE
Prussian Undersea Boat Said to Have
Been Taken in Net Near Newport
News.

New York, April 24.-The Herald
in late edition, prints the following
from Newport News, Va:
A Prussian submarine, the U-36
was caught in net near Newpor
News, Va, by American naval forces
according to a circumstantial repor
in circulation here today, and she /!
either now on the way to the New
York navy yard at Brooklyn or ma
arrived there.
The submarine is said to have beer
captured by the crew of one of the
largest American battleships. Hel
bow became entanglcd in the net SCI
to protect naval waters, and before
she could back away the elevatinl
planes became involved and she could
not free herself.
Immediately the warning was
sounded and the officers and crew O
the Prussian undersea craft surrend
cred.
The submarine was not seriously
damaged, and was placed in charge r1
competent men, and with convoy OF
tow started for New York harbor.
1t is not known what disposition
was made of the captured crew. They
probably have been sent to an interior
fortifcation under secret guard.
1t is understood that the captured
U-boat will arrive at the New York
navy yard tomorrow, if she is not al
ready there. 1t was not known what
speed she could make up the coast.
Because of the extensive machine
shop at the New York yard and be,
cause of the crowded condition of the
shops at Norfolk it was decided to
send the prize north for repairs. 1t is
probable that the U-36 soon will be
added to the American naval forces
The story of ths capture of the
U-3G came out here last night, when
officers of a great battleship came
ashore. What they said confirmed
or rather explained a great commo-
flor IN Hampton Road few days
ago. No one ashore was able to en-
plain what was happening, but there
was much excitement and strict sec
recy kept.
The submarine apparently had en-
tered the roads hoping to find m
portant units of the American fleet
That she did not get far indicates
that the harbor is thoroughly pro-
tected.

Copenhagen. April 24-An Ameri-
can who has just arrived here from
Hamburg, says that Hamburg last
week was affected by the same strike
movement as Berlin. A big demon
stration led to lavish promises by the
military and even to the suspension
of the card system for the day, dur
ing which it was possible to buy bread
anu, as far as available, potatoes.
Now it is almost impossible, accord
ing to this American. to obtain these
necessaries even on cards.
This American saw Albert Balltn,
director general of the Hamburg
American Steamship Company, who
has close relations with the German
authorities, and confirms the report
that Herr Balm enrertalns an opti-
mistic view of the possibility of an
early peace.

ENCOUNTER IN SANCTUN
Captain Charles Mccarthy Has One
Round With S. Il. Clover, of Rich
mOnd Journal.

Official Richmond was stirred to
lively interest yesterday over a
/ spirited encounter between Captain
Carlton Mccarthy, of the Admins
trative Board, and S. T. Glover, editor
and publisher of the Evening Journal
| in the latter's office, Broad and
Fourth streets.
The account given by Captain Nc
Carthy and that published in the
Journal differ in details.
Captain Mccarthy said: 81 called
upon the editor of the Journal for
vindication for an editorial which ap-
peared in Saturdays Journal. ask
ed him whether he wrote the often
sive editorial; he admitted it, and l
then told him that it was nothing but
pack of lies and that he was a liar.
He answered, as that so?" and my
reply was a blow to the jaw. The
newspaper man went to the floor and
| picked up chair, when dozen
men rushed into the room and over
powered me-
The following account, which Cap
tain Mccarthy characterized as un-
true, was published by the Journal.
"Honoring the Evening Journal edi-
torial rooms with call this morning,
Commissioner Mccarthy, of the Ad-
ministrative Board, asked to be intro
duced to the editor. His wish was
gratifed. He was anxious to know
who wrote the editorial in last Sat-
urday's paper protesting against the
inconsistency of spending thousands
of dollars On municipal paper when
the taxpayers have burdens more
than enough.
"When the editor passed over the
information, the commissioner used
ugly words and attempted to strike
the astonished newspaper man. When
Mr.. Mccarthy woke up after having
been run from the front Of the build
ing to the rear by the editor, who
was propeling him in the good, old
fashioned manner, the caller found
himself descending the editorial stairs
with more rapidity than grace.
Upon reaching the sidewalk he
voiced his appreciation of his recep-
tion by declaring his intention Of kill,
ing the editor. This is not the oper
season for editors. 1t is Germans
| that the country has listed, and thu
editor of the Evening Journal is sur
prised to find so astute a public of
! fetal as the commissioner falling int
such error. Should Mr.. McCarth!
again honor the sanctum, perhaps
the reception arrangements will b.
less hurried. One likes to do justic
to distinguished callers"

.NEWRAILROAD ASSURED
Bridge for Washington and Newport
News Line Approved by Z. S.
Engineers Corps.

Plans for the construction of a
bridge over the Potomac river by the
Washington and Newport News Short
Line, the proposed new railroad, have
been approved by co... Clement a.
F. Flagler, Of the United States EI-
gineer Corps, to whom they were re-
ferred for adjustment by Secretary of
War Baker. Final approval by Sec
retary Baker is expected within
few days.
Approval of the Potomac bridge
plans removes the last obstacle in the
way of building the new. railroad be-
tween Washington and Newport
News and Norfolk. The new railway
company has leased the Shepherds
Branch of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad opposite Alexandria, run
ming from the District Of Columbia
and Prince Georges county line to
the main Baltimore and Ohio tracks,
so that it can enter Washington and
have a direct connection for Balt-
more and the East for its passenger
and freight trains.
For three months the army eng'n-
GERS and officials of the Washington
and Newport News Short Line have
been working together for the pur
pose Of reaching a common agree
ment on plans for the Potomac river
bridge, which will connect Charles
county, Md, and King county, Va,
a short distance south of Indian Head,
Md. Steamboat interests wanted
bridge high enough to clear their
boats on the Potomac river. The rail-
road officials said such structure
was out Of the question on account .
of its cost. Finally an agreement was
reached by which bridge, which will
clear the river by 90 feet so that
small power boats can pass under it
and which will have the 6ascule lift
for the passage of large steamers,
will be constructed Permits for
bridges over the York river above
Yorktown and the Rappahannock
river at Laytons also will be issued
with the permit for the Potomac river
span. There is no objection to bridg-
ing the York and Rappahannock riv-
ers from Virginia interests.
Norfolk will be reached by big
viaduct over James river from New
port News to Scwall's Point. This via
duct will be patterned after the fam
Gus Florida East Coast Railroad via
duct to Key West and will have sew
eral draws for the passage of ships.
The new railroad will give Indian
Head railroad outlet. 1t also will
tap Hampton Roads and the York
river.
Eighty per cent. of,the right Of way
has been acquired through Maryland
and Virginia. The new railroad Is
headed by Frank Cannon, former
president of the Norfolk and South
ern Railway. and is said to have am
pie capital for its construction.
