MANY win claim spitzberoen.

More than 300 years ago, In 1914
James I of England, formally claimed
Spitzbergen. The Muscovy company
a British concern. was ordered "to up
hold the kings right to Spitzbergen'
by an order In council. That claim
was allowed to lapse in the same man
ner In which the Russian claim lapsed
the Britons interested in the country
say.
With the end of the war old data
will be dug up, with records of com
paratively recent times, to bolster the
contentious of the various claimants
rs Snitzberg~n is sure to occupy a
prominent place In north European af'
fairs. Uncle Sam is happily out of the
matter because of the sale by the Arc
tic Coal company. although judg
ing by precedent it never was likely
that this country would go so far as
to desire TO exercise suzerainty over
the land. Such course was urged

NATURALLY HE WAS PEEVED
Dogs Failure TO Observe Meatless Day

One Fine Ham.

coroner's office. is pecved ana he has
a right 10 he.
Wingie. rs no is known about the
courthouse likes to hunt. He also
likes rabbits as food AS rabbits
were selling for - cents apiece he
decided To go get some with the aid
of dog and gun and thereby have the
fun of hunting as we'll as the pleasure
of eating and nj the same time reduce
the cost of living.
So he borrowed dog from one of
his friends and hiked for the country.
The result of his craftsmanship for the
day was two rabbits. but Wingie was
happy when he returned home with
30 cents worth of game, so he put the
dog in the basement for safe keeping.
and went to bed perfectly contented.
In the morning. when he went to get
the dog his JOY turned to gloom. The
dog was there all right but n per-
fectly good ham. which was stored In
the basement, was gone. That is, most
of ii was gone, and what was left was
unfit for use as food, because what
the dog had not eaten he had chewed
or dragged over the floor.
"That ham stood me three dollars"
Said Laitner. when telling about the
incident, "and had half notion to
shoot the dog, not so much because
incurred the loss Of the ham, but the
scouDdrel is traitor as II all hap
pened on 'meatless' Tuesday."-Indl-

Bio Trench PloWs.

Whenever and wherever 1t has been
possible to do so, gigantic trench dig
ging machines have been used for en-
trenchments instead of the spade of
the soldier. Many hundreds of "trench
plows," as they are called, were used
by the Germans In the early days of
the war, and that gave rise to the COM
mon belief that the Germans were the
first to use them. But so long ago as
the Boer war British army authorities
experimental with plows and found
them so successful that they became
part of the equipment of the army.
The smaller plows cut a trench 20
inches wide and 20 inches deep, turn
ing the earth over so as to form a
parapet. The large ones will cut
trenches from to 4 feet deep, doing
the work of so soldiers, and in half
the time. These plows have proved
extremely useful in digging trenches in
front Of towns and other prepared po-
sitions In the path Of the enemy.

COLLECT LITERATURE ON WAR
Cambridge University Authorities Max
ing Plans to Add to Materials
for Historical Study.

''The literature of the war will form
considerable element in every H.
brary where students work" writes
the vice chancellor of Cambridge uni
versity, according to correspondent
of the Chicago Daily News.
AT the university library great
effort has been made during the last
three years TO form such collection /;
and something already has been
achieved by the celebration of help
ers In various parts of the world, es-
pecially the United States, Spain and
some countries i'm South America,
where German propaganda literature
has been circulated in great album
dance.
1T may be thought that enough war
collections will be made by the vari-
Gus government offices, the British
museum and the National museum.
These collections win of course be
more extensive than anything which
Cambridge can hope TO get together.
But where there is school of history
there should the materials for histori-
cal study be found, and n very moder-
ate war collection will be much better
than none. 1t may even be that Ii
viii contain some things not easily to
be met with elsewhere. Therefore, all
Cambridge men in particular are asked
to use their opportunities and con-
tribute what they can. Every scrap
of printed paper eventually will fall
into Its place and have its chance or
being useful to some explorer"
