THE ROYAL ADMIRAL.

Although Germany has been at war
for more than four years Admiral
Prince Henry of Prussia, the only
brother of the Kaiser, has had little
or no opportunity to win fame or
glory. 1t has been rumored that the
Royal Admiral, who will pass his f1f-
ty-sixth birthday tomorrow, has not
been in accord with the Won Tirpitz
policy, and it was rumored early in
the war that, as a result of this oppo-
sition, the Prince had lowered his flag
and retired from active participation
in naval affairs. Rumor further
had it that the Sailor Prince objected
to the naval raids on unfortified Brit
ish towns and that he was opposed to
ruthless submarine warfare. AS the
world knows now, men of that kind,
men who seek to uphold the tradi-
lions of chivalry upon the sea, are of
no use to the German war machine.
and therefore Prince Henry, despite
the fact that he was the Kaiser s
brother, was simply eliminated.
Prince Henry married a granddaugh-
ter of Queen Victoria Princess Irene
Marie of Hesse, and before the war he
had a great fondness for England
and spent no small part of his time
in London. His upbringing by his
English mother was more English
than Teuton. Prince Henry visited
the United States in 1902. Before
the war he was in supreme charge
| of the Kaiser's sea forces.

TODAYS ANNIVERSARY.

The first private execution of the
death penalty in England took place
just half a century ago today, when
Thomas Wells was hanged for the
murder of a railway station agent.
The last public execution in England
took place a few months before, when
Michael Barrett was put to death for
completely in an explosion plot Up
to the Wells execution, the exaction
of the death penalty in England, as
in most other countries, was consid-
cred a public affair, calculated to I'M
press the malefactors with the ma
jesty of the law. Many people pre-
dicted that private executions would
result in an increase Of capital
crimes, but the reverse was true, and
among nearly all enlightened peoples
it is now recognized that public ex-
ecutions have brutalizing rather
than a warning effect upon the De-
holders.

minder to Britons that he is the son
of a German, for the princely title

Is merely one of the minor German
nobility. However, there is no ques-
ton of his patriotism for the British
cause. The duke started his military
career more than twenty years ago as
captain. of the First Life Guards, af-
ter completing his military education
at the Royal Military College al
Sandhurst. He was transport Off
GER of the Household Cavalry Regi-
ment during the South African war
In 1904 he was appointed military at
| tache Of the British Embassy in Wen
ma, where he spent five years. The
duke married Lady Margaret Eleanor
Grosvenor daughter of the first Duke
| of Westminster, in 1894, and has two
sons and two daughters. He has beer
the recipient Of many malitary honor:
and has served as personal aide d.

SITTING FURNACE,
STOVE, CRATE ASH
SAVES MUCH FUEL
q. S. Fuel Administration Urues
Reclamation of All Waste
to Aid Fuel Situation.

Thousands Of tons Of coal can be
reclaimed and proportionate dollars
saved in fuel bills If the house
holders Of the nation will adopt the
simple, Homely method of sitting
their ashes. About five bucket
fuls Of coal are thrown away in the
ashes each week by the wasteful
householder. Each bucketful weighs
about nineteen pounds, and fresh nut
coal sold by the bucketful costs about
16 cents each. If this coal is reclaimed
by sitting the ashes, it would repre-
semi a saving of so cents a week and
conserve just SO much coal for the
dealer to supply other householders.
The United States Fuel Administra-
ton gives the following directions for
retaining coal from ashes:
How to Sift Ashes.
Shake the sitter until all the dust
like particles fall Though. You will
then have left In your sitter a mix
tNre of black and white-covered pieces
OF coal and probably a few clinkers
and pieces OF stone.
Pick out and throw away all stone.
Do not throw away clinkers unless
they are thoroughly burned. Coal
will often fuse In such a manner that
the Fart In the center is not burned.
Lreak clinkers apart, and If there is
ANY black substance in them it Is
carbon, and they can be burned over
again.
White chunks generally contain a
large amount Of carbon, though their
covering might be soft and have the
appearance Of ashes. Do not throw
them away.
Coal thus recovered should be
spread on the ground and sbrinkled
with water. This will open the seams
in the coal, and when it is placed in
the heater the fire will reach and ig-
mite the unused carbon.
1t Is better not to mix the coal thus
reclaimed with fresh coal. Keep it in
a separate pile.
Reclaimed coal should generally be
used on red hot fire, although it can
also be used in banking fire at night

DEMOCRAT SENATOR
RAPS NATION LEAGUE
Can't Believe Wilson Advocates
"Such Impossible Scheme"

Washington, Dec. 27.-Opposition to
a league of nations was expressed in
the senate by Senator Smith, Demo-
crat, Georgia.
Referring 10 a recent Paris despatch
outlining President Wilson's attitude
Senator Smith said he could not for
one moment believe the president has
advocated such an impracticable and
impossible scheme"
Formulation of Il definite govern
ment policy relative to the further
construction of ships and their cost
10 increase the American merchant
marine to meet our needs after the
war was urged during a discussion of
the ship question.
Senators Nardaman. Democrat. Mis-
sissippi, and Senator Weeks, Republi
can. Massachusetts, favored a read
juStment in the cost of construction
now, declaring unless this was done,
It would mean the writing off, of
millions of dollars after peace has
been concluded due to the building of
carriers at war prices.
The discussion was started by Sem
atOr Fletcher, Democrat, chairman of
the LafOllette act, which he said had
brought about an equalization in the
cost of operating foreign as well as
American ships entering our ports.
Charges the act had driven the Ameri
can flag from the Pacific were brand
ed ''as Utterly absurd" by Senator
Fletcher.
"The necessity for ships now is al
most as acute, for commercial pur-
poses, as it was for military pur-
poses" he said. He added England is
planning to build 100000 tons an
nually and France 100000, while the
United States had the yards to build
100000 annually.
Senator Jones, Republican, Wash
ington, said if the United States kept
pace with England and France on the
construction of ships the American
government would have to assume the
same attitude toward private enter
prises that those governments assume.
England and France will do every
thing, not only to maintain the pres
ent strength IN the seas, but to in
crease It," he said eff they give gov
ornamental assistance to private enter
prises for the construction Of ships,
We will have to do the same"
