BOARD HOLDS NO MEETINGS.
President Decides All Questions for
Members, but Never Calls Them
in for 4 Conference.

There is no more familiar title
among government departments than,
the board of trade. 1t seems to be re,
Isponsible for all kinds of things and
all sorts of undertakings and happen-
Iings. 1t will find you a chairwoman or
negotiate a commercial treaty. 1t con-
sists of president and large num-
Der of members among whom are
'reckoned the Archbishop of Canter-
bury and the speaker of the house Of
commons, writer in London Tit-Bits
states.
: BY law these members have right
to be called to discuss questions of
trade and to help the president to shape
his policy, yet the fact remains no meet
lngs are ever heidi The president
never dreams of calling his committee
together. He does much as he likes,
comes to his own decisions, and then
announces that "the board thinks so
and So"
One wonders what would happen II
the archbishop or some other member
were to insist upon being consulted,
this this surprising method of doing
business should cease.
The board Of trade does not stand
alone. Every school-teacher In the
land knows that my lords say this
and "my lords rule that. Their full
title is 'the lords of the committee of
the privy council of education;" but
they never meet, and the vice presi-
dent would probably be puzzled to
name a half-dozen of them. Mr.. Fish
er and his predecessors rule without
do they get credit for the good they
do and are a refuge In the day of
storm.

HIGH COST IN WASHINGTON
uIous Prices-One Woman Prom
lses Ordinary Wear and Tear.

Two women sat at a local theater
the other night. They were dressed
'fit to KILL" in the good old Hoosier
idiom, and wore diamonds galore,
writes Charles Il. Tracewell in Wash
ington Star.
They were talking about the subject
of rents, topic of absorbing interest
In Washington just now, when house
or apartment of any kind is difficult
to obtain for love or money.
1t has been a matter of gossip that
many wealthy people have come to
Washington recently, and that many
of these have rented furnished houses
and apartments at fabulous rates.
The two women at the theater were
discussing this very thing. What was
more, one of them was one of those
wealthy ones in question, judging from
what she said.
"You know, my dear" she was say
ing to the other, II won't say I'm 60
ing to use an ak, but"-she smiled
significantly-'when my lease is over"
and she smiled again-"well, there
is going to be some ordinary wear and
tear, my dear, there Is going to be
some ordinary wear and tear"

A baby elephant when he stands up
for the first time is so clumsy In all
his movements that to watch him is
a circus in itself. He cannot seem to
understand what his legs are made
for, he stumbles over them, steps on
his trunk, falls down; 1t takes quite q
few hours before he begins to realize
that his trunk is made to pick things
up and that his feet are to stand on
and to walk around with. He is,

mouse, but after few wecks - starts
to grow dark gray.

which If it be not needed for ,imme-
date warmth, is always agreeable for
its exhilarating effect" He also refers
to the epistolatory mania in very young
persons, saying that in his later years
his pleasure consisted in receiving let

evidently had not attacked our young

quired to answer itl-Los Angeles

OSTFND SUBMARINE.
 BASE BOTTLED UP. U
British Sink Cruiser Filled With Con- crete at Entrance of Harbor and Germans Now Must Use Own
 Ports---A Severe Blow.

London. May 10-g'he German sub marine base at 0stend has been blocked as a result of daring raid by the British, according to an official statement issued by the admiralty this afternoon.
 The obsolete cruiser Vindictiye, filled with concrete. has been sunk across the entrance to the harb0r
 The British lost one motor boat, and their casualties were very light.
 The raid apparently was similar to the one the British carried out on April 2S. when so much damage was done to the harbor works at Zee- brugge
 In the former raid on leebrugge and Ostend. the light cruiser Vindic- tive landed British storming parties on the Mole at Zeebrugge. the attack CTS doing a vast amount of damage to The Mole after storming the German batteries.
 The Vndictive was damaged se- NsfelN n Luis action- one had com plemenE of A50 men
 The Nindictive had been filled with concrete for this very purpose since the zeebrugge raid on April 23, and this later raid was carried out in a manner very similar to the raids on zeebrugge and Ostend. which were carried out simultaneously
 The importance of the blocking op- eration lies in the fact that. if they have been as successful as it is now believed they were, the Germans have been deprived of both their Belgian bases. and they will now be forced to revert. for some time at least, to their own home ports as starting and re- turning points for their undersea raiders.
 These craft would therefore have to traverse for longer, more danger ous routes to attain their cruising grounds, with a consequent increase by many times of the chances of their being turned back or destroyed.

 While giving his Personal Impress sions of the German Emperor" in a talk before che Knife and Fork Club last night, Prof. William II. schofield Of Harvard University spoke of how Germany had been preparing for war for twenty years, making no conceal ment of the fact and how thru design and intrigue aa iasidioas propaganda was on foot in the hope of embroiiing other nations to keep them interested at home.
 Ten years before the war. Professor Schofield said. he was in Germany on one of his visits. The emperor. even at that time. spoke of Great things in store for the future of Germany

Those papers who urged an inquiry treat the speech as having a restrict ed value and as being an ex parte statement, altho they admit it was a good effort
 Among the former papers is the Daily Mail which says that not rag of General Matrices pretentious in dictment is left It declares that form CT Premier Asquith was outgeneraled ard outfought.
 The prennier's answer, says the Daily Telegraph. was complete and overwhelming and showed that Gen eral Maurice had 10 a shadow of justi- ficaticn for any of his charges.
 The Daily Chronicle, voicing the second view, says the issues were left in the same misehievous obscurity as before the premier spoke. because of the uncertainty in the mind of the public. It declares the premier's statement does not remove the serious disGuiet from the mind of the army.
