 WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-The story on land and sea was denied here this afternoon by an at,ache of one of the central powers embassies. The denial was not official and was not made with any degree of resentment.
 The impression prevails in many official quarters that the news was given out for a purpose and that, whether it is absolutely true or not, it will perhaps serve the purpose 1t was intended to serve.

SEA SNAKES VERY VEN0MOUS
There Is Little General knowledge Of
the Many Reptiles That Infest the
Ocean Waters.

Many persons are familiar with the
names of the most dreaded and deadly
of the poisonous land snakes, writes a
contributor to Country Life, but very
few, apparently, have any knowledge
of the innumerable sea snakes, most
of which are highly venomous, that In
fest the waters of the Indian ocean ana
the western Pacific.
Nearly all of them differ from the
land serpents by the laterally fiattened
and oarlike shape of the tail, and also
by the scales of the under surface OF
the body. When cast ashore accident
ally, the majority are quite helpless
and soon die, for they are unadapted
for getting about on land. Three spe-
cies, however, differ from the majority
of the sea snakes. One of the most
common kind of a three-foot snake that
lives in the waters from the Bay OF
Bengal to Oceania. This species easily
crawls on land, and sometimes makes
journeys of a considerable distance
inland.
Most of the sea snakes have bril-
liant colorings. They feed on tsh ana
other marine creatures and are extraor-
dinarily active. In length, they vary
from about two feet to as much as Ten
or twelve feet Sea snakes, ALSO diIler
from land snakes in the shortness Oh
the tongue. In their natural element
they thrust only the extreme tip OF THIS
organ through two small notches In
the closed mouth. They have compara-
lively small nostrils, placed on the Top
of the snOut, and furnished Win
valve that opens to admit air ana that
closes to exclude water'when the rep
tile is beneath the surface.

God in National Affairs.

Furthermore, God is in all the affairs
of life, whether man recognizes his
presence or not. When Victor Hugo In
''Les Miserables" was seeking an ex-
PLANTATION of the battle of Waterloo he
asked, "Was it possible for Napoleon
to win the battle?" We answer in the
negative. Why? On account of yelling
ton, of Butcher? No, on account Of
God. Napoleon had been de-
nounced in infnitude, and his fall was
decided. Waterloo was not battle
1t was the transformation of a uni
verse;"
Gettysburg is considered the pivotal
battle of the Civil war and eff" occurs
very frequently in the story of that
three days conflict. If General Lee
had attacked Towards broken corps
on July 2; if General Warren had not
disobeyed orders in occupying Little
Round Top; If the Confederate general
Johnston had marched in the darkness
a half mile farther, the issue of that
battle might have been very different.
How explain? The only explanation
is, God was in it. Suppose the mighty
army of Germany had not been sudden
ly stopped at the Marine, what would
have occurred? Some say angels In
tervened. but whether they did or not,
the explanation is-God.
We should think of God because
thereby the highest ideals of mans ex-
istence, whether as an individual or as
a member of a community, will be real
lied. In these days when the individual
seems lost in the general turmoil, it is
well to remember that God has always
dealt with man in communities. The
families of Noah, Abraham, Jacob and
Israel in all its national history had
Gods recognition, and God has given
the warning to such communities or
nations that forget him that they shall
be cast into hell, which has always
been true. There is to be realized
Augustine's hope Of a real civitas Del.
News and citizen. [volume] (Morrisville, Vt. ;) 1881-current, 1917-08-01

means ruin to the individual and to
the community. Amidst the accumu-
ation of the ordinary cares of life and
Its pleasures and the frequent extra
ordinary calls made on man as a men,
Der of society, he often becomes so
overwhelmed that he does not appear
to have time to get God in his thoughts,
and it seems as if man everywhere in
these awful times is thus troubled and
deserves our kindest consideration.
Why Think of God7
The first suggestion is that God Is
what he is. In the text he is represent.
ed as having purpose and that it is i'm
possible to change that purpose; every
thing he purposes goes through to the
end. God himself claims that his coun-
sci shall stand, and he Is the first and
he is the last, and besides him there is
no other God. He asks of men that
they be still and know that he is God,
and he will be exalted in the earth. He
takes up the islands of the sea as
very little thing. All nations before
t1m are as nothing and vanity, and he
stitch upon the circle of the earth
and the inhabitants thereof are as
grasshoppers. Paul chided the intel
lectua1 Athenians because they seemed
to think God like unto gold and silver,
and job said in ancient times that a
man is foolish who strives against God,
for he does not give account of any of
his matters, and again and again does
the Bible represent God in his infinite
creative power as speaking, and ma
terial things, worlds and universes
even spring into being.
The proper thought of God will take
away the despair that often comes to
men as they contemplate the world
about them. Never in the history of
the race were the affairs of men in
such ruin as today. The world seems
aflame. Material things seem to be
and higher things held dear
to man seem to be going down in
crash. Millions of men are
dying or are mangled in battle. Mil
lions of women and children are starv-
Ing, and there is chaos everywhere, but
over it all God rules. In the dark mo-
ments when President Lincoln was
stricken down by the assassin's bullet,
Garfield, afterwards pres
dent, said in New York, "Clouds and
darkness are round about him, right
and judgment are the habita-
ion of his throne" God was not asleep |
when the bullet of Booth crashed into
the brain of the president. Gods |
hrone in the midst of the clouds and
he darkness did not even feel a
