Her Valid Defense.

One has heard good deal about the
Russian woman warriors. Sensational
stories about them have appeared from
time to time in the European press. Al
together, there is a flavor Of romance
about the Russian amazons which is
lacking entirely in the totally unlocked
for defense recently put up by an Eng
lish working woman, remarks the
Christian Science Monitor. A suit had
been brought against her for having
failed to pay the money due for the
hire of her sewing machine. Asked
what she had got to say for herself,
she replied: Nothing; / am unable to
pay, as I was wounded short tins
ago, fighting against the Austrians."
1t quite disconnected the court Her
papers were examined by the judge
and found to be in order. Needless
to say, the charge against her was
withdrawn.

enthusiastically 100000 arti-
eles of clothing. and sleeping equipment
have been shipped to the 16 National
Army cantonments, according to Off
cial figures made public by the War
Department.
OF this enormous total, Camp Meade,
with 10000 men in camp, has received
tie following: Bedsacks, 10000; blank
cts, 8O,532; cotton breeches, 16,096;

The figures cover shipments UP to

response on the part of the American
industries to the emergency demands
of the Government. Deliveries that
have already been made seemed only
a few weeks ago to be utterly impos-
sible of accomplishment. When the
war broke out the manufacturing
establishments were without large re-
serve stocks of any kind, owing both
to domestic consumption and the, in
bistent demands from foreign coun-
tries In the few months since then
these industries have been practically
made over to the needs of Uncle Sam,
and there has been such mobilization
and realignment of their facilities as
to stagger imagination in many in
stances.
From now on, it is stated, the flow of
supplies for the army will be steady
and constant. The total figures on
shipments made to all Is cantonments

GRAND LIFE OF THE NAVY
onIooker inspired by Sight Of BIG Gray
Warships and Liberty the
Sailors Enjoy. 81

1t was Sunday morning in New
York, and the drive at the foot
of Seventy-ninth street was alive
with people. The benches were
at a premium. An aged woman,
with her knitting, got up and cross
eyed man sat down so quickly that the
bench didn't have chance to get cold.
The tide was just turning, and the
gray warships Of anchor began to poke
their noses seaward.
"Them ships look grand, huh?"
The sailer sitting next to the man
turned and regarded his bench mate
curiously. He waited the fraction Of
n second before replying, and before
he could answer he was bombarded
with another question:
'"They amt got no names"
Still the sailor remained silent. "Si.

eyed man.
"Believe me, that's the life," he
rambled on, waving long arm in the
direction of the pier, where a launch
from one of the vessels had drawn
alongside. "Them fellers have pretty
soft time OF it. See 'em? Going to
have good time up town. Believe me,
that's the life"
Suddenly he turned and looked over
his shoulder, as though inspiration had
gripped him strongly.
'That's the life-rm going to enlist,
believe me-"
The sailor said to himself: "They'd
like to get him, only he's as deaf as
haddock, and if he ever shoots where
he's looking-good nighti"-Exchange

Dried Potatoes in Bolivia.

Throughout the Andean plateau OF
Bolivia potatoes are cultivated at al
titudes where even the hardest grains
and vegetables will not grow. The
natives have a method of preserving
potatoes, which consists of alternate
freezing and thawing until all the
moisture is removed. The resulting
product is known as chunu, and it can
be stored for months and even years
without fear Of deterioration. Pressed
into little bullet-shaped pieces, chunu
is universally offered for sale In the
markets, and is one of the chief foods
Of the native population. The same
report states that France and Sweden
have imported seed potatoes from Bo-
liyia.

GERMAN NAVAL REVOLT FAILS.
Crews On Four BattIeships Mutinied.
Several Shot.

Amsterdam.-A mutiny among the
crews of four battleships of the Ger
man fleet has occurred at Wilhelms-
haven. One of these battleships was
the Westfalen, whose captain was
thrown overheard and drowned. The
crews landed. Marines refused to fire
on them, whereupon soldiers surround
ed the sailors, who surrendered.
A mutiny is reported to have occur
red on the German warship Nurn-
berg, which was at sea. The men
seized the officers and proceeded in
the direction of Norway, with the in
tention of being interned. The Nurn-
berg was overtaken by destroyers and
forced to surrender.
Emperor William went to Wilhelms-
haven and ordered that one out of
every seven mutineers be shot. Chan
cellor Michaelis protested, with the re-
suit that only three were shot. Heavy
sentences were imposed on the others.
Emperor Williams visit to Will
helmshaven in company with Chancel-
lor Michaelis was made after the
mutiny had been suppressed.
One of the reasons for the mutiny
was bad and inadequate food.

and Now In Service.

Washington.-The American Navy's
war construction program consists Of
7S7 vessels, including all types from
superdreadnoughts to submarine
chasers.

retary Daniels said some of the vessels
have been completed within the past
few weeks and are now in service and
that the remainder of the program is
being rushed. The total cost is esti
mated at $1,150, 100000.
Many Of the vessels are destroyers
and arrangements have been made for
carrying out the S350,000,000 supple
mental destroyer program, which the
Navy expects to be completed in IS
months.
Examinations of contracts by the
legal representatives of the builders
prevented the formal signing of the
agreements with the six companies
which are to build the craft, but Mr.
Daniels said only minor details stood
in the way of getting the vessels under
construction.
Secretary Daniels said he expected
the first of the new destroyers to be
launched and commissioned within
nine months. They will be of the
latest, largest and improved type,
which have just. been tried by the
American Navy, he said, and found to
be unsurpassed by any destroyers in
the world.
