Samuel Wheaton was weary. Her hps
betrayed it. Her eyes too betrayed it.
and Samuel Wheaton, by her very air, be-
trayed it. Arising and with fruitless ef-
fort endeavoring to remove certain well
defined stains from her arms and hands,
she gave it up and walked to the rear of
the shop. Climbing the tall stool, she
drew forth the drawer, looking into it
with evident expectation.
"'Twopence,' said Samuel Wheaton.
'Twopence ha'penny, and-a shillin's
hungerP
"Then with a decisive movement she
drew forth the offensive coins and gazed
ruefully upon them. You be bad bar
TIM said she. 'Pommer nd say it. AhP
and she sighed, Lady Constance nd eat
shillin's worth
"Then she descended from the tall stool
and went about among the boxes until she
came forth with much worn coat which
she gazed upon with businesslike glance.
Appraising little fingers slipped over the
cloth and, discovering certain well marked
injuries, she shook her little head and
laid the coat upon a case, to go forth in
search of thread and needle. With de-
liberate motions she made right the in
juries and looked upon the finished labor
with satisfaction.
"'Fhere,' she said, as she bit the last
thread and stuck the shining needle in the
scarlet bosom of her coat. There, it
means threepenee, and threepence and
twopence ha'penny is not so bad. Mr..
Roth is a gentleman but there is some
thing upon him. she continued aloud, but
was interrupted by the noisy entrance of
Pommer Pringle, who rolled with his sea
legs down the little shop until it seemed
the walls were masts and that the floor
swayed with the rhythm"

comes to discussing naval matters, the
first sea lord speaks straight from the
shoulder, with an abrupt and convincing
sincerity. Tell them when you go home
that your navy is first class, he said to
me. We like your people immensely.

officers. There is nothing to be gained
by fattery or empty compliments. We

my mind we -an't afford to misuh Ierstand

The Westminster Gazette then quotes

ton"
The Pail Mall Gazette calls Presi-
dent Wilson's exposition of the new
American conception of world policy as
striking a land mark in his Country's
history as the proclamation Of the Mon

Continuing the Pail Mall Gazette says:
1t is new statement by which the
promises of the older dispense ton are
extended from a chosen people to the

Karl Rosner, "A newspaper CORE.

between Emperor William and the
German Crown Prince, in which the

The story was told, says Rosner.
as father and son stood on a hill in
the battle sector of the army group

The Crown Prince said
1T was when the Germans were pre-
pairing TO storm the Chemin- -des. Danes.
The frogs. which were found in mil
lions in the marshy Ailette River re-
gion, croaked in such a deafening
fashion that they enabled the Ger
mans to bring up batteries and col

the attack actually was launched the

vented the enemy from discovering
the positions of the German machine
guns"

Fourth Of July celebrations through

have demonstrations in favor Of any
Foreign country assumed such pro-
portions. No idea can be given of the
extent of the celebration by a mere
enumeration of events in each town, as
the chief feature is that the people here
really feel the greatest admiration and
friendship for America and put their
heart into the celebrations.
In Rome, at 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, Signor Apolloni, president Of the

lies of soldiers, presented a silver wolf,
which is the emblem Of Rome, to the
American Red Cross for work in aid of

The Hague. July 6--The Dutch Social

an open letter to Arthur Henderson, the

urging the necessity of an International
conference. IN his letter Troelstra holds
Q1n the Brest-l.itovsk peace as a warning
Of what happened when one party was in
distress after long process of eXhaus-
tion, and adds
II know that~the anxiety of the En-"
tente nations about the uEfavorable mil
itary situation is tempered If not over
come by great expectations of help from
America and by hope of the unnerving
effect of economic distress in the Central
lands"
Troelstra says that Russia also built
hopes on a revolution in the Central
countries. but argues that in those
countries independent political action
against the Government has been consid-
erably weakened by the demands IF the
national struggle against the enemy, and
that local disturbances, chiefly arising
from food scarcity. cannot be regarded
AS hindrance to the prosecution of the
war rst.
Troelstra then deals with American in
stervention, and he is not a great ad-
fniree of America. He considers that the
tndecisiyeness, of the war forms basis
