On the 3rd OF February last ! Off
cially laid before you the extraordi-
nary announcement of the German
government that on and after the 1st
of February it was its purpose to put
aside all restraints OF law or Of hu-
mapity and use its submarines to sink
every vessel that sought TO approach
either the ports OF Great Britain or
Ireland or the western coasts OF
Europe. or any of the ports controlled
by the enemies OF Germany within
the Mediterranean.
That had seemed the object of the
German submarine warfare earlier in
the war. but since April OF last year
the German government had some

its undersea craft in conformity with
its promise then given to us that pas
senger boats should not be sunk and
that due warning be given to all other
vessels which its submarines might

ISLAND IS OFFICIAL
 FOR U. $. NAVY BASE

New York, March 6.-Crab island, comprising 50 acres in the vicinity of Little Egg Haror, on the New Jersey coast, has been offered to the govern ment free of cost as a. site for a naval base.

 Mir. McKeever suggescts that, inas- much as Egg Harbor is the only ha-i ven on the coast between Sandy Hook and the Delaware breakwater avail able for such use, Crab island might furnish a location for naval and re- pair station for submarine chasers and scout boats.

Right Thing to Contemplate.

Life is so full of miseries, minor and major; they press so close upon us at every step of the way, that it is hardly worth while to call one anothers at tention to their presence. People who do this are merely dwelling ons the ob- ,vious, and the obvious is the one thing not worth consideration. What we want to contemplate is the beauty and the smoothness of that well ordered plan which it is so difficult for us to discuss.-Agnes Repplier.

One of the features of the Farmers Dairy Go. proposed building is that it will be nearly all glass and that the public may witness unhampered the full operation and sanitary conditions under which milk from the farm is treated and bottled without the hands coming in touch with it.
 Because of the wide scope of the charter granted the farms of Fairfield county it is likely that the business may later be extended to the market ing of vegetables and other farm pro- duce on a cooperative basis that will conserve the farmers share and les sen the cost to the consumer.

COLLEGE MEALS AT 7 CENTS
Boarding Hall At kentucky institution
Shows Proft-Feedinp 1,4oo at
This Rate.

Berea. Ky.-In order to prove that
high cost Of living has not reached every
part Of the country. Berea college, In
the Kentucky mountains, is responsible
for the statement that its 1,4OO stu
dents are fed at a cost of seven cents
per meal, that they gained "several
tons" in weight, and that the boarding
hall made net gain Of $559.49. In ex-
planning this record President Frost
OF the college refers first to the econ
omy of numbers, some 1,4OO students
being In constant attendance in the
five departments. Another explanatio
of the seven-cent meal Is the fact that
most Of the students are accustomed
to plain fare, SO that they almost
choose to go without tea,
coffee and butter to reduce expenses.
To offset these omissions the "balance
has been introduced.

Professor Mayer, a resident for more
than thirty years In the small village

accomplish of famous spy?
This old lady. who hated war, loudly
proclaimed that she was ashamed Of
being German because Germany was
responsible for the war, and led a
quiet life Of solitude and seclusion, lly.
Ing now just the same us she had been
living for the last thirty years, was I'm
plicated In famous case of espionage
as the principal accomplish of her son
and also the notorious German secret
service spy, Adolf Walker.
The lady and her son were tried and
sentenced to three months imprison.
ment and expelled from Switzerland.
Old Lady Returns.
Four months after the trial the old
lady was again In Switzerland, on the
sly, of course. and this time she es-
capped, but 1t was ascertained that she
had accompanied Walker on a flying
visit to Lyons. in France.
Alfred Olsen. formerly u sergeant in
the German army, has been arrested at
Zurich, tried and sentenced to Ave
months Imprisonment and fine of
500 because the police found out that
he was finding situations for Swiss
maids in France and Italy and encour-
aging them to write him long letters.
OF course. as the maids were being
paid by both their employers and by
Olsen, the number he placed" was
considerable.
The latest espionage case now going
on In Switzerland relates to Heinz

bureau, a French deserter named An
DIRE POM, young lady of Lausanne,
Rose Schertenleib. and a notorious spy
who served both France and Germany

two torpedoes were fred against the

tangled in the nets protecting the ship.
Evidently three nets protected tn"

third prevented the torpctloes from
striking the hull. and their propellers
kept going outside the water with n
loud noise resembling that made by the

In fact. the Austrians on board the
battleship. as well as those on board
other ships and on shore, mistook the
noise and took 1t for granted that Poln
had been attacked by hostile air craft.
The alarm was raised ut once with the
rapidity of lightning. Searchlights

A handsome woman. accompanied by
an irreproachably groomed collie, who
registered at New York hotel as
Erma Wright, attracted only passing
attention. A few days later came Sa-
leem, all the way from Egypt, and,
prostrating himself before the stranger,
addressed her as Madame la Coun-
tessa."
Miss Wright admitted then that in
Italy she had been the Countess Mira
Fiori, cousin by marriage of the pres
ent king. She had been travelling in
cognito in California until a romance
began in a moonlit garden in ancient
Egypt. followed her half way around
the globe, and disclosed her identity.
The countess is an American by birth.
She has spent much of her time in
Italy, where under the stage name of
Mile. Blanche Duquesne, she became
popular as an opera singer. After her
marriage to the Count F1ori she spent
several years among the nobility Of
Italy.
