FALLING FAR BEHIND.


On January 81, the German govern
ment proclaimed unrestricted warfare
upon the seas This was accompa-
MED by semioflicial statement that
the German U-boat would destroy
100000 tons of entente and neutral
shipping in three months-as a con
sequence of which, Great Britain
would be starved To execute this
program, German submarines would
have to sink 100000 tons of shipping
month.
Two weeks have passed In that
period 215,259 tons of shipping have
been destroyed by mines and subma-
rines. This does not include trawlers.
The average, according to the New
York World, has been 1880 tons a
day, but. to sink 100000 tons a
month, 1t would have to be $4,000 tons
a day. Germany, therefore, is 1880
tons per day behind in her average,
Tor 2S7,250 tons behind on the two
weeks.
OF the vessels destroyed, the en-.
|tente lost 1860 tons, neutral govern
'ment, besides America, 35,425, and
America 1891 tons.
Admiral Jellicn, of .he British navy,
announced on Monday that he was
not dissatisfied with the number of
submarines which will never return

-------~----------------- WANTS CHINESE LABORERG.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 19.---Cal- ifirnia fruit growers and other large employers of this section are of the belief that Chinese coolie labor will furnish the only solution of the labor deficiency. which is now becoming acute in the Far West as result oe the salective draft. To this end they are preparing to petition congress for permission to bring over coolie labor CTS for the period of the war By binding themselves to return the cool ies to China when peace comes, the employers believe they will meet any objections that might be raised by the American labor organizations. In SUD- port of their proposal they cite the experience of France as showing what might be accomplished in the United States. Vast numbers of Chi nese coolies have been taken to France, and it has been said that but for the work of these men last year, many districts of France would have had no food this winter.

GLASS EYES THAT MOVE.

London, Dec. 19.-An improved glass eye which can move is one O.! many new surgical inventions &Hd discoveries to which the war has %'V en birth. As is well known, the ehicr drawbacks to the ordinary &l>se eye are that. being simply con < ..r,. of glass, it tends to sink b;,"E i.,o the socket and is fixed in "a stony glare"
 A surgeon of the Royal Army Med ical Corps has succeeded in getting over" these difficulties by placing in the socket of the eyn a sphere of Ev- ing cartilage, or gristle, taken from the patients ribs without risk. It is all one operation. While one surgeon removes the destroyed eye another surgeon removes the pieces of car tilage from near the patients breast bone. Two pieces are made into a lit tie globe, which is placed in the sock ct, and the thin outer covering of the eye is sewn over to hold it in place The ordinary glass eye shell is in- serted over this and is prevented from sinking backwards. Some move ment as the eye by the wearer is also possible

Two Heroes Remembered.

Jasper county, Indiana, was named In honor of Sergeant Jasper of the Revolutionary army because of his spe- cial patriotism and bravery. He was sergeant in a South Carolina regiment and in the. attack on Fort Moultrie, early in the war, the flagstaff was shot off and the flag fell to the bottom of the ditch outside of the works Jump ing from one of the embrasures, Jasper mounted the colors, tied them to a staff and held them in position under a hot fire until another flagstaff was brought. For this commission was offered him but he declined it through distrust of his qualifications. On an- other occasion he and another sergeant named Newton attacked a British guard of ten men and released some prisoners the guard were conveying to Savannah. A township in Jasper coun- ty is named Newton in honor of Jas per's companion on this occasion. A county in Georgia and a central square in Savannah help to perpetuate Jas per's name. He was killed at Savannah near the close of the war.

CHANGES AGAINST DANGER.

London, Dec. 19. - Naturally enough, the average Londoner grows bit nervous when he hears the now familiar signals heralding the ap- proach of a squadron of German air men. As matter of fact, however, there is little real cause for alarm, since the chances of his own particu- lar house being hit by a bomb are so small as to me almost incalculable. Greater London has an area of 443,- 424 acres, on which stand more than a million buildings. Assuming that a particular house presents target of 100 square yards, the chance that a bomb will strike it is less than one in 21,O00,000.

Humorino People Isn't Pleasant.

"Humoring a man" sounds like pleasant and comfortable thing, but when one links humoring with the question of who makes the money, it does not seem very fiattering to the humorer or the humoree, says writer in the Woman's Home Companion. And what lamentable sight is that of the humoree, what deep inequality it implies and what an absence of any real respect O. understanding between two people in whose lives humoring is a part of the daily routine! When the one to be humored is woman it may mean that man has been forced into the craven part of dcing anything for the sake of peace. There are few concessions some men will not make 70 avoid domestic storm. Some un fortunate men there are who even give III, vital friendships, legitimate forms of recreation, and even their own individualities in this unworthy cause.

"holiest" Spot in World.

The temple of Buddh-Gaya, in north' eastern India. has strong claims to be- ing considered the holiest spot in the world-at least it would be so adjudged if the question were submitted to a universal suffrage. For Buddh-Gaya IS the holy of holies of the Buddhist creed, whose believers outnumber those of any other. This is the very spot where Buddha received enlightenment of his heavenly mission 2,40O years ago. When he arose after the miracle and paced back and forth lotus tlow~ CT sprang up and bloomed wherever he paaced his foot. Carved lotus blossoms N stone mark the footprints today.

What War poee.

For those who go to war the victory is not always to the strong nor the race to the swift. One of the seeming. ly paradoxdcal things taught by tho conflict between the states was that recruits who seemed to the ordinary observer to be too frail and small to stand the rigors of war almost uni- formly developed into tough and reli- able soldiers often more so than their bulky and athletic brethren. The test of the battlefield has proved that many a man who had been timid and considered himself Q coward was tn reality braver than the swashbuckler who had sneered at him back home Men who have been disgraceful fall ures in civil life have been converted in the fro of war into leaders of high ability.

It appears rather wonderful to sec a dog shut the door at a word of com' mand, but 1t is quite simple trick. II works best with rather large dog Go to door that swings easily and set 1t about six inches open. Then bal- ance biscuit on the handle and draw the dogs attention to it, saying, "Shut the door," He will naturally jump against the door to get the biscuit, and his weight will shut 1t. Then praise him for 1t. By doing this several times a day he will gradually get to associate the action with the words "Shut the door," and will do the trick when told, even though there is n0 biscuit in evi- dance.
