Semi Official Dutch Paper Doubts Bus
mess Mems Firmness Says
China Is Sighted.

A special cablegram to the New
York Times from The Hague. Novem-
Der IA. says
The semi-official Nieuwe Courant,
commenting on the general war stu
alton, says that even American en-
thusiasm has its limits
at would be crazy to imagine says
the paper, that the American bust
ness world will remain eternally OPP
timistic and self-sacrificing about the
war"
The Courant adds that when Amer
lea declared war there were still
hopes for further military deeds from
revolutionary Russia, which were not
fulfilled. The paper says that Amer
ica's "delusions" must soon be
destroyed
Seen in this light" it continues,
"Mr. Lansing's declaration to the
French journalists about the situation
in Russia and Italy is comprehend
BILE But America is doing her best
by sending Colonel House to Europe
to discover how to win the war
The paper remarks that China does
not seem overioyed about the Ameri-
can-Japanese agreement, and that this
is Understandable. as both powers
negotiated about their influence in
China without consulting China, and
this shows that "trampling on and
humiliating the weak are also the
weapons of those who declare they are
fighting for the rights of the small
peoples of the earth" The Courant
says China cannot do much against
this. and has had to content herself
with protests, but that in japan the
people also are not satisfied, and from
the Japanese press it may be assum-
ed that they consider too many con-
cessions have been made to America.
President Wilson's Buffalo speech is
published in full by the Dutch press.
This is another indication of how
anxiously the Dutch await American
news. of which little is available.

NUT One lNER
Part Played by One Yankee
Woman in Revolution.
Margaret corbin Took Her Hushand'a
Place at the Guns in Battle of
Fort Washington and Fell
Wounded.

Margaret .Corbin, who was born In
Franklin county, Pennsylvania. No
vesnbeT II. 1851, was the only daugh-
ter of Robert Cochran. who was killed
by the Indians in 1856 Margaret's
mother, for whom the daughter was
named, was taken into captivity at the
same time. Margaret was now FIVE
years old and escaped her parents
fate because she and her brother
were visiting an uncle, who raised
Margaret.
In 1772 Margaret married John Cor
bin of Virginia. Corbin enlisted in
the First company. Pennsylvania ar
tillery. and his wife. having no chill
dren, followed her husband to war,
serving as nurse and aid in camp
life.
When John Corbin was killed at the
battle of Fort Washington, November
16, 1776. Margaret took his place at
the gun, until struck down with three
grapeshot. which severed an arm and
tore away part of her breast.
Mary Pitchers husband, Hays, was
a gunner in the same regiment, and it
is safe to assume that Margaret Cor
bins heroism at Fort Washington in
spired Molly Pitchers act at Mon
mouth.
AT the surrender Margaret was en-
rolled as a member of the invalid
Regiment" Her wounds at Fort
Washington were such that they were
ultimately the cause of her death
in 1900.
On account of her wounds the SUI
preme council of Philadelphia on June
20, 1910. granted her $50 and recon-
mended her to the board OF war for n
regular pension. The resolution of
congress, July 6s1T79 is on record in
which honorable mention is made of
the services Of Margaret Corbin.
"Resolved. That Margaret Corbin,
wounded and disabled at the attack Of
Fort Washington, while she heroically
filed the post of her husband who
was killed by her side, serving a piece
Of artillery, do receive during her nat
ural life or continuance of said disabil-
ity, one-half the monthly pay drawn
by a soldier in service of these States I;
and that she now receive out of the
public stores one suit of clothes or
the value thereof in money"
Margaret Corbin was the first wom-
an pensioned by our government for
heroic deeds.

Some Queer Moneys

Iron money has been put into clrcu-
lation recently in Germany. In Mex
leo cardboard money is in use, owing
to the disappearance of metal cur
rency due to the unsettled state of the
country.
Porcelain money is used in Burma
and Siam, and feather money, manu-.
featured from the short red feathers
from beneath the wings of a species
of parrot, is the ordinary currency of
the Santa Cruz islanders. The 10y
atty islands, which lie in the Pacific
to the east of Australia, are famous
for their fur money. The fur, which
is taken from behind the ears Of the
so-called flying fox" in reality a
large, fruit-eating bat, is woven into
cords of various lengths, and these
constitute the ordinary currency of the
Islanders.

An American Franc.

DR.. John Bassett Moore, who gives
constant attention to the problem Of
extending American trade with the
countries Of South America, thinks
that a business requisite now lacking
is the establishment of monetary
unit common 20 those countries and
the United States. His idea is that
this unit should be, in its relation
to the dollar, similar to the French
franc piece. If adopted, 1t would be
known as the American franc, and il
would be so coined as to have the
value of approximately one-fifth Of
the American gold dollar. The coins
age OF such d~unit was first preached
by Doctor Moore several years ago
but the plan is not forgotten and mag
yet be adopted.

MAY CONTEST MeMULLEN COUNT
Republican Leaders Discuss Possibility
Of Attacking Election-Talk Of
Alleged Collision.

There is a possibility, that the Re-
publican leaders will decide to contest
the election of Comptroller McMullen.
There is no probability Of this at
present, but they have it in their
heads, and il the complete returns
from the counties, after the reports
have been made of all the official can
vases, give any promise of success
they are very likely to take steps TO
have the House of Delegates open the
matter.
In view of the heavy pluralities
given Mr.. McMullen in parts of Balti-
more County and Anne Arundel Coun-
ty and the talk of collision between
certain Democrats and Republicans in
the Fourth District of Baltimore City
some of the Republican leaders are
inclined to the belief that if the COM
plete canvass gives Mr. McMullen only
a small plurality for the entire State
it might be wise TO have recount.

BRITISH ARMY ONCE IN BERLIN
Several Regiments of Adventurous Nos
bIes Went There TO Help Old
Frederick ".

IT was somewhere about the middle
of July. 1929. that q British army ar
rived in Berlin. The account of its do
ings may not be found In any history
books. for the secret papers are safely
stored in the state archives OF the
Prussian capital. At that time Berlin
was a small riverside town, but under
the able rule of the "Great Elector" it
quickly became place of considerable
Importance. The object of the British
invasion, however, was not one or con-
quest. 1t was the result of promise
which James had made to his son-in-
law, Frederick V. The Elector Pala-
tine Frederick had placed himself at
the head of the Protestant Union or
Germany. He accepted the crown or
Bohemia in 1919, and it was in order
TO help The newly elected king against
the followers of the Lusatians that the
British troops were sent to Berlin. The
force. which was composed of many
penniless but adventure loving mobiles
recruited from all parts of England
and Scotland. was commanded by Sir
Andrew Grey. A letter written by
James [ which is to be seen preserved
in the state paper office, states that
"the force was some 5000 strong, and
constituted one of the finest armies
ever seen ON the battlefield" 1t goes
on to say that the men were clad in
red and white Hanoverian uniforms
and were well armed and efficient sol
diers. The contingent landed on the
Prussian coast early in the spring OF
1920 and after n perilous march
through the neighboring swamps ar
rived at Tempelhof, on the outskirts or
Berlin. There it was that the trouble
arose. The Berliners hastily barri-
caded the streets and prepared to de-
fend the city against the British. But
the British had no sinister designs on
the city, and after resting lifted their
camp and marched into Bohemia,
where they joined the camp of Fred
erlck V. One, and only one action
was fought-which eEded so dlsas-
trously that Frederick V, the "Winter
King" was forced IS abdicate, and the
campaign of the British, which had
been the cause of so much distrust in
Prussia, came TO an end-Dundee Adj

ADMIRAL BENSON BUSY MAN
British Admiralty Acknowledges Value
OF His Views.

In an official communication issued
last evening at London, England, the
British Admiralty says:
"Since the arrival in England of
Admiral Benson, United States Navy,
and his staff, he has been in frequent
conference with the first Lord of the
Admiralty and with the chief and prin-
cipal members Of the Naval Staff.
He has also visited the commander-in'
chief OF the Grand Fleet on board his
flagship and is now visiting our rrinci-
pal naval bases.
Every great benefit has been de-
rived from these meetings and from
the interchange Of ideas and views and
cooperation between the American
and British navies thus has been made
easier and more complete.

AS to Proper Behavior.

Streets and sidewalks are public
property. Citizens have the right to
walk on them, whether they wear
skirts, pantaloons or bathing suits, as
long as their behavior is proper. There
is no ordinance specifying the amount
of clothing a person shall wear in
the street" is the wisdom quoted from
the lips of Judge Howard Hayes when
passing upon the arrest of a young
woman who promenaded in her bath.
ing suit. We agree with the judge.
The question is one of behavior. But
it Is fair to ask whether promenadinq
the streets without any clothing would
be proper behavior.-Ch Chicago Post.
