the military power OF Germany.
Coming close on the heels of the
export embargo Of the United States,
which is being administered to keep
from the European neutrals every
thing that might supply the Central
powers. Great Britain's action il re-
garded as one Of the most important
Of the war.
AS the British embargo excludes
everything except printed matter,
about the only thing that will be
permitted to go to the German pea
pie by way of the neutrals will be
expressions of world opinion that
they should reorgauize their system
Of government to do away with the
military autocracy.
In figurative sense, Great Britain
holds one end Of the rope and the
United States holds the other. Grad

taut, the military power of Germany
is being strangled because the en-
barge cuts off the supplies she has
been receiving through the adjacent
neutrals.

CANADA HAS PARK

Canada is following the example OF
the United States In setting aside tracts
of her Rocky mountain region as per-

The latest of these Is Jasper park, far
up in the wild Northwest. where the
play is still too rough to attract any
great hordes of urban dwellers, but
which is one of the most beautiful bits
of mountain scenery in the world. The
building of the Grand Trunk Pacific
railroad had a good deal to do with the
setting aside of Jasper park.
In Jasper park they have fenced In
the highest mountain in Canada, an i'm
mense tract of virgin forest and hill
country, a miscellaneous assortment of
nameless glaciers of various sizes, half
dozen big trout streams and num-
berless little green valleys that look as

EEL TRADE IS DEMORALIzED
catchers Of Elongated Slippery Fish
In Thames River Among Others
Affected by the War.

Good Queen Bess' fondness for the
Dutch eel is keeping one man I'm Brit
ain in state of forced idleness, OBJ
serves the New York Sun.
In the early part of her reign boat
laden with cells sailed up the Thames
and part of the cargo was sent to the
virgin queen as gift. Her majesty
was so delighted with the, Mt that time,
novel dish, that she granted skipper
Visjerzonen charter which made
the River Thames free to him and his
descendants, absolved him of all river
dues and gave his descendants the
right to moor at certain spot In the
river forever.
But one condition of the charter
was to the effect that the mooring
place always must be occupied by
some of their boats. If mt any time
the place was unused the privilege
would cease For 300 years the de-
scendants of the fortunate skipper
have piled their trade in the Thames,
always retaining their original moor
ing place. But the war broke out, the
eel trade fell Off considerably and the
submarine activity completely killed
1t Off about two years ago.
Captain Villum, the last arrival in
charge of an eel boat, has since that
period been to all intents and pur-
poses marooned. To maintain his
rights 1t has been necessary to stay
in the river, and until the war ends
this condition will be fulfilled. He re-
plies TO questions as to the length of
his exile that he expects to stay for
two or three years yet.

story:
"a man went out to buy hammer
in secondhand store. He couldn't
find what he wanted, so visited one
pawnshop after another, and still failed
to make purchase. His curiosity
was aroused, as he had been ac-
customed to pick up valuable me-
chanic's tools in this way for u mere
song. So he said to one pawnbroker,
"Let me see your entire stock of tools
may find something that l want"
The man replied, II have very few
now"
"What do you mean? Don't working
men come In to pledge their kits for
money to tide them over?"
"Not since the state went dry. Men
mostly are sober, and have good jobs,
and want to hold onto their TOOLS"
