conferred with the Entente Premiers by cable over the form of the an swer to be made Germany for her proposal for an armistice and peace.
 It is felt here there is no doubt the nature of the reply will be an emphatic stfement in effect that nothing less than the terms already laid down in President Wilson's speeches can be accepted by the Al lies. An armistice will not be thought of at this time.
 The reply must convince the peo- pie of the Allied Nations Of the jus tificaton for a continuance of the war, and also not give the German militarists chance to bolster ur their argument to. the people that the war is defensive one.

CURE FOR little AILMENTS
Real Trouble Can Usually Be Depend
ed On to Make One Forget
the Smaller Ones.

Man and animals alike, It's wonder
full what q shock will do to heal our
errors and our weaknesses. The only
thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill in
an argument was a dishpan, or some
heavy, blunt instrument clouted over
his brow, and In his younger days he
was some argufier, as his scars attest.
Here is the case of the blind man in
San Rafael, CAL, who fell 40 feet off
the roof Of his house, and found his
eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who
was bedridden for years, was the first
person to reach safety when the house
caught fire, and her bad hip has been
practically all right ever since; you
remember that crippled negro who
beat even the dogs home when the bear
charged out of the brush.
A lot of us have troubles that are
only In our minds; when we are fed a
little real trouble we forget the smaller
ones. There is, perhaps, an opening
for sanitarium that will take q Grip
pie or an invalid and throw him off
cliff, or crack him over the head with
a brick or crowbar-anything to wake
him up, make him forget his small
worries, and heal his diseased mind.

so THEY GAVE THEM TITLES
How Shrewd German Government
Played on the Vanity Of Disorun-
tied Employees.

The Germans, when addressing one
another, use titles to an extreme
which We should regard as belonging
to the realm of comic opera. They
have been reared to honor and love
titles, and they devote themselves to
the cult with amazing wholehearted-
ness.
! One case, by no means exceptional,
will illustrate the point, d. Thomas
Curtin says in Munsey's Magazine. A
few years before the war the drafts
men of the imperial navy yard at
Kiel became dissatisfied and demand
ed more pay. The government met
the situation with refusal to grant
their monetary demands but laid be-
fore them compensatory program Of
social advancement.
After definite number Of years a
craftsman would be permitted to use
the title konstruktionsrat (construc-
ton councilor.) Another period Of
years, and he would become geheimer
konstruktionsrat (privy construction
councilor). Another period, and he
would be n wirklich geheimer kon-
struktionsrat genuine privy construc
ton councilor). In addressing him
you say Herr Wirklich"-and all tie
rest of 1t, right through to the end
and you put the same ponderous mass
on the envelope of the letter you write
him.

WHEN MONEY is MUTILATED
How Government Official at Washing

Have you ever wondered what be-

money, and how people are paid for

their money? An interesting depart
ment Of our government takes care
Of all cases, and Mrs. Brown Is the
expert In charge, having received her
appointment from Grant in 1875. Bits

a fire sufficient to prove that once they

Each mutilated bill is pasted onto pa
per just the size Of Complete bill.
A piece Of glass the same size, d.
vlded into 40 squares, is placed over
the bill, and If the experts find that
the remnants Of the bill fill "a squares
they recommend that the bill be re-
deemed at its full value. If more than
two-fifths and less than three-fifths OF
the squares are filed, one-half the
value is allowed. Any less than two
fifths is seldom redeemed without fur
Their proof of the mutilation. Mrs.
Brown has in her office q copy of every
bill issued by the government, which
greatly aids in Identification.

WHY
Transatlantic Flying Will
Never Be Easy

I In a paper read before the Institu-
ton Of Engineers and Shipbuilders In
Scotland l.. Desbleds explains some of
the advantages and difficulties of
transatlantic flying. With regard to
the former. the carrying Of the mails
In quarter Of the time at present
needed for the voyage between Amer
lea and Britain would, In the authors
opinion, be of immense benefit, as he
considers that the correspondence of
a country may be taken as a measure
of its commerce with other nations
and the accelerated rate of exchange
OF correspondence would react upon
commerce and shipping.
Coming to the problem Of carrying
mails across the Atlantic, Mr.. Des-
bleds considers that existing knowl-
edge Of airplane construction and pro-
polling machinery only allows of such
flights by reducing the strength of
the machines employed to far below
that Of the airplanes now In use con-
sequently those undertaking the pas
sage would run grave risks of coming
to grief on the way. Some particulars
of an airplane for flying the Atlantic
are given in the paper, the proposed
machine having weight by itself OF
about four tons, which is doubled by
the addition Of fuel and stores, while
a crew of 10 men account for another
Is hundredweight.

Why Times Are Different.

Country people used to wonder why
city residents were. so formal and dis
tant," says the Thinker magazine.
why, whenever peddler, Insurance
man or book agent stopped at the
farm, father would kill chicken and
the visitor would be compelled to stay
for dinner. Nowadays the farmhouse
sees as many callers as the average
city home and visitor isn't break
in the dull monotony any more. They're
still hospitable in the country, Of
course, since the automobile has les
sened distance, but many book agent
longs for the old days."

Make Pets Of HornbIlls.

The yellow hornbill, one of the most
interesting of the species, is COM
paratively fearless Bird and is easily
killed. The male is fond Of perching
on the tiptop Of tropical trees and
making noise like a young puppy.
The natives in Africa find young
hornbills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries in their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out Of the
same dishes. Left free, the hornbill
comes and goes much as does pet
crow and remains about the hut I'M
til the first mating season, when 1t
goes away with one Of its kind, rare
