preston of this kind. A similar con-
viction is being voiced in various
forms by others who are yielding to
the impulse of prophecy and specu;a-
ton as they observe the demoraliza-
ton that now obtains in normal world
conditions. Recent events in Russia,
Great Britain and the central powers
are being pointed to as manifestation
of the oncoming readjustment in the
fundamental relations of society.
These possibilities cannot be. contem-
plated lightly when it is remembered
that on numerous occasions the work
ers coming into political control, have
made as great a mess of things as have
those whom they have displaced.

The Boston Transcript protests Wig
orously against the proposal to change
the name of a now prevalent disease
from German to liberty measles as
follows: Real honest measles give
immunity from subsequent attacks.
The Teutonic or Hohenzollern variety
of measles do not. They return abom-
inably and viciopsly. A run of the
true measles, properly treated and put
well behind the patient, is in some
sense>a guarantee of manhood. Ger
man measles are-well, German. Let
them have the full discredit of the
name"

Almost every time a government Of
fetal makes a statement regarding our
war activities somebody jumps up and
disputes it. Why can't the people be
told the truth? The most recent exam
pie is Senator Hitchcock's character
izstion of Secretary Bakers statements
as ''preposterous." Both gentlemen
should know what they are talking
about and neither should be under the
suspicion of trying to deceive the pub
lie. 1t is difficult to escape the con-
clusion that one is right and the other
wrong and that both know it. What
is to be gained by distorting or mis-
representing the facts? The truth is
certain to come out some day but per-
haps after the lie has accomplished
the purpose for which it is intended.
What the government appears to need
vastly more than a censor is an Off
ciaI truth teller. Whether or not a
man fitted for the job could be found
in or around Washington is open to
question. If old Diogenes were alive
he could find plenty of work to do,
but he probably would use search
light instead of a lantern.

YANKEE CLEVERNESs.

Very great curiosity exists at this
time as to how Representatives of the
United States government worked out
the key to the secret code of the Will
helmstrasse and made TRANSACTIONS of
the intercepted messages sent by
Count Won Luxburg, the German am
bassador in Argentina, to Berlin and
to Count Won Bernstorff in Washing
ton.
The deciphering of these messages
revealed Won Luxburg's advice to sink
ships from Argentina without trace"
showed ex-Premier Caillaux,s treach-
cry to France and gave the state de-
partment in Washington an insight
into the imperial German govern
ment's Vaccinations in this country
which was very Illuminating, especial
ly as to the plots of Won Bernstorff,
the personal friend of America" and
his immediate colleagues. Won Papen,
Boy-Ed and Doctor Albert
Chief Flynn of the secret service
and his operatives obtained many
communications written by these men
in code, which were deciphered. When
SCSuA ~ the messages appeared 10 De
only a series of grouped numbers.
Long and very painstaking work re-
vealed, it is said, that these numbers
were used in connection with an old
German dictionary which is out of
print and rarely seen outside of Ger
many. A specific group of numbers
save the page and the word On the
page. But the system varied with
each successive word so that substan-
TALLY new rule had to be worked out
as each was deciphered. This entailed
prodigious labor before the problem
was finally solved
The imperial German agents had
separate codes, diplomatic, military
and naval, which, while all followed
the same principle, were so differently
complicated that each was practically
Il separate code
1t is evident that the craftiest of
German minds worked out these codes.
These men were indeed subtle. They
recognized the always battling prin-
ciple of simplicity, and tho they made
the ciphers complicated enough in a
way, this complication. when under
stood, was surprisingly incomplete.

TRAVELETTE
NfOusehole.
BY NIKSAH.

On the coast of Cornwall, a few
miles from Penzance is a, little gray
hamlet, cuddIed close by the side of
the sea- 1t is Mousehole. one of the
auaintest and most charming viii
lagos in England. Unnoticed by most
sightseers, it has been allowed to re-
main unchanged a part of the somber.
yet lovely Cornish landscape. The
tiny quay hugs the harbor where the
shallow draught fishing sloops rest at
anchor. On the beach, gray-bottomed
boats lie upturned to the gray sky.
In the village the low cottages of
stone smell of fish and drying nets.
The narrow crooked streets are paved
with huge flat stones or are left un-
paved altogether. Tiny streams trickle
across some of the thorofares. Others
lead down to the beach and piers by
steps of rough stone.
On the piers the brown-faced fish
ermen toll over their nets and smoke
and gossip. They are n quaint peo-
pic, these kindly Cornish folk, pious
to the core, yet still believing in
pixies and the other good little peo-
pie even when they refuse to admit it,
Their fishing is chiefly done at night,
the boats putting out to sea at sun
set. Yet Sunday morning finds the
fisherman stiffly starched and dressed
in his Sunday black worshiping in his
bare chapel. They want the pure doc
trine, these sturdy sons of the sea,
none of your modern notions for them.
Mousehole has a typical Cornish eli
mate. 1t CnowS once in a long while
in the winter, but the snow does not
lie IN the ground for more than
day or two. Geraniums. fuchsias and
myrtles grow in the tiny cottage gar
den the year around There is always

sky were always gray, like the sea
and rocky shore. Tie fisherfolk care
nothing for the wet.
The villege has in recent years at
tracted a colony of artists, who love
the tiny hamlet for its picturesque
simplicity. Many a simple fisherman
of Mousehole will GO down to poster
ity inInortalized on canvas.

SAVING MEAT.

There could be no better evidence
that the people of the United States
are really restricting their use of meat
in their food than the statistics of ex-
ports. As these are stated in pub
LEGATION of the National City Bank it
appears that for seven years proceed
ing the war there had been a great
reduction in our export of meat and
dairy products. The average for the
decade preceding 1907 was 1924. 00O,-
600 a year and for that seven year in
tervaI $4,000, 900, the lowest being
the latest year. The exports of meat
100000 in 1915, $294.000,000 in 1916
and reached $4o6, OO0.O 900 in 1917. the
highest on record.
In the fiscal year ending June 80,
1914, the last before the war, 1894
600 pounds of fresh beef were sent
abroad and in that ending with last
June the amount was 197,1S1. 900,
about thirty times as much. In the
case of hams the increase was from
100, 100000 pounds to $4,000, 900,
while for fresh pork the quantity
mounted from Ass, 900 pounds to &c.
429, 1000 and canned beef from 1906
900 to e7,577,00o.
Before we were in the war a con-
siderable part of our food exports went
to neutral countries, but that is linn
tied now in order to increase what
reaches the allies. and there is no
doubt about a decided voluntary de-
crease in consumption before govern
ment authority undertook to enforce
it. There has been no corresponding
increase in the production of these
of beef, as we'll as of wheat there
has been a reduction along with an
increase in population.
Now we are having meatless and
wheatless days, willingly accepted by
most people so as to increase our con
trlbution to the struggling allies. The
amount that we spare is increasing
and our people seem to be none the
worse for 1t. In fact they are said to
ave been consuming more meat than
was good for them, and wasting a
good deal in Needless way.
While there has been reduction
in the production of meat, figures
given out by the United States depart
ment of agriculture show that live
stock has increased in numbers enor-
mously in the past year.

for the third time rose to go he asked
Hermine whether he might send
Moses over at once with a basket for a
little wood: they actually had no fuel
to cook dinner. Herrnine looked puz-
zled- She said the wood was in shed
at the end of the garden. and that the
man who came to carry the wood had
the key. She was sorry. and then;

much. Please stay, and Rachel will
call to your man Moses to have him
get bite with her in the Kitchen
Mr.. Gray accepted the invitation,
tho as he did so something that he
mistook for his conscience pricked
him. He felt that he was breaking
down barrier that it had taken him
ten years to build up.
AT six that afternoon Mr.. Gray still
fingered. He was playing cribbage
with his spinster neighbor before the
fire. with the light of skilfully ar
ranged bracket-lamp that threw Just
the right shadows on the board and
mellow. becoming glow on Hermine
face. In the kitchen Rachel was max
ing savory coffee. A pan of johnny
cake was browning beautifully in the
oven, and a broiler of bacon was spit
ting on the fire. Rachel was laughing
! to herself-or rather to old Moses,
who sat watching in admiration. with
a growing appetite, at one side OF the
stove.
Hermine did not even ask her neigh
Der to stay to tea-it seemed to be
such matter of course for him to re-
main there in the glow of her fire
rather than to go home to his own
barn-like abode to feed upon cold
meat and damp, chilled bread
When Rachel had cleared away the
| things Mr.. Gray drew his chair closer
to that CT Hermine. You're won
derful woman, Hermine," he said. Il
made I'D my mind once that you were
cold: but you've been thawing out my
heart today.my heart and incident

charity on your part You are doing
it in the same spirit that you had the
factory girls here last night Tne
worst part of going home isn't the
| fact that is is as cold as a barn-its
| because Til have to leave you"
Hermine's expression showed conf
plete amazement. She told Mr.. Gray
that never in the world had she inn
agined that he might want to marry
her-the fact was that Mr.. Gray had
not expressed his sentiment in just
those wo-ds-but she did hate to have
him go home in the cold. Her guest
| room was very warm; Rachel kept

might not be arranged for him to stay.
And that is how il happened that

When certain commercial organi-
cations suggested to President Wilson
that certain trade conventions be
abandoned during the period of the
war, he deprecated the idea of aban-
doning any method or medium which
could in any way stimulate business,
and emphasized the fact that every
thing should be done not alone to
keep things moving in their normal
channel, but if possible to stimulate
them. If merchants and manufactur-
ers could find it possible to economize
in any way either by reducing the
number of employees or the consump-
ton of material, the inevitable eense-
quence would be an enormous curtail-
ment of consumption and consequent
ly unemployment. 1t might be posi-
BILE to fill armies with unemployed
men, but it would be impossible to
succeed in any great campaign where
there was not plenty of employment at
home High prices and threatened
scarcity have always been in the past
the most powerful stimulators of in
vention and industrial organization
and there can be no reason to doubt
that these forces are operating now.
