ROOM FOR MANY MILLIONS
Vast Spaces of Siberia That Have Yet
to Be Surveyed and Exploited
by Man.

The biggest and loneliest land on
the globe is Siberia, of which at the
present moment there is so much talk,
says London Answers. Any one who
would set about its conquest by in
vasion would find the task herculean
one, for it contains nearly five mil
lion square miles, and is about 40
times as big as the British isles!
In these vast spaces there is a pOpu-
lation less than London contains by a
couple of millions, and there are hun
dreds of thousands of square miles of
territory where no human being is to
be seen. The mighty rivers of Siberia
are almost rendered useless by the
fact that they flow mostly into the
Arctic ocean, and their lower courses
are icebound during the greater part
of the year. and their mouths are at
all times very difficult of access. Arc
tic Siberia is vast country in itself,
but very inhospitable.
Siberia, it is said, is destined to be
the granary of the world; and the
opening of the railway across it's en-
tire breadth has certainly done much
to develop it's resources.

Etiquette in Mexico.

Travellers through Mexico report
many peculiar customs which reflect
the temperament of the people. Some
of these are founded upon supersti-
tons hundreds of years old while 9TH
ers date from more recent days. There
is prevailing belief in the country
that there is bad luck in a sequence
of threes and wherever possible the
combination of three is avoided. This
is shown very often to persons strange
to the land in the lighting of a Gig
arctic. ~
In the United States one often sees
three men light their pill from one
match. 1t would be a gross insult
in Mexico to offer a man a light from
a match that had already started two
cigarettes going. Instead one must
blow out the match and give him a
light from the ignited coffin nail.

DOOR IS LEFT OPEN
Peace or War Issue Now Rests
With Germany.
Diplomats at Washington Consider
President Has Made
Master Stroke.

Washington, Oct. 9. - AS the full
significance of the Presidents dip
lomacy is disclosed it becomes evident
that he has left open the way to peace
and at the same time left the militar-
list leaders of the Central powers with
a question they must necessarily an
swer in way that will lead to peace
or confront them with an embarrass-
ing situation in their own countries.
Among diplomats here the Presi-
dents communication is regarded as
one of his master strokes. 1t is
pointed out that upon cursory exam
ination it may not show such strong
terms as some may have desired. All
the Presidents advisers, however, are
confident that as close consideration
reveals it's full import, it will be ap-
parent that it is long step forward if
Germany really means peace, and that
If she does not it viii strip bare an
other hypocrisy OF German diplomacy
so completely that the responsibility
for prolonging the war never can be
charged to the Allies, even by the
German people themselves.

Allies Preparing for Anticipated
Submarine Activities Against
Entente Shipping.
DOOMED TO FAILURE.
Desperate U-Boat Drive Against
Transports and Troop Ships Like
Iy If Peace Offensive Fails,
Naval Officers Believe.

Washington, Oct 8. = American
naval officials and British First Lord
Of the Admiralty Geddes, realizing
that Germany is likely to start des-
perate U-boat drive against transports
and troOpships if her peace offensive
fails, are comforting here over COM
bative measures.
Indications point to the loosening
Of practically every U-boat in the Teu-
ton service against the Allied supply
5lnes. However, authorities believe
that this effort, like it's predecessors,
is doomed to failure, on the whole, be-
cause of reduced U-boat efficiency.
Four Reasons Given.
Factors making the forthcoming
campaign less dangerous than previ-
GUS operations were pointed out to-
day as:
/. Personnel of U-boats is disrupted,
SO much that submarines are now
rated as only one-fifteenth as effective
as at the start of the war.
2. Submarines have been driven
from the coast and must operate far
out at sea, where their prey is more
scattered.
8. They have been forced to leave
the channel bases and operate around
the North sea, reducing their effec-
tive mileage one-third.
4. Defensive armament and the
convoy system have made successful
attack more difficult :.
Construction Steadily Advancing.
A larger number of German SUBJ
marines now are in operation than at
any time during the war and con-
struction is believed to be advancing
steadily.
Because of the heavy protection
given to troop. ships and supplies
from America the work of hunting
down the submarine has been inter-
fered with to some extent and the
actual destruction of U-boats has
probably decreased, although the eff
fectiveness of the submarine has been
reduced at the same time.

Washington, Oct. 81 While most

chairman of the Republican congress

Senator Lodge, that the President

government, as he has done in the
note signed by Mr.. Lansing.

Missing Americans Found.

British Headquarters Near ST. Quen
tin, Oct. 8 .-The losses suffered by the
New York division which co-operated
with the British in the heavy fighting
north of st. Quentin last week were
not so heavy as at first feared. 1t has
been found that the divisions cas-.
ualties were even lighter than could
have been hoped for. Some of the
Americans became separated from
their units during the fighting and
elected to go on with the Australians
consequently the divisional stat
thought they had been lost.

ever gave it thought whether frogs
have hair or not. Probably no one
ever realized they did until Prof. G..
A. Boulenger discovered in the Ger
man Congo frogs that had growing
upon their bodies either hair or very
good imitation of it. 1t has since de-
veloped, that anatomically it is not
hair, in the sense in which that term
applies to mammals. Our own hair is
akin to finger nails; it is a horny
growth, whereas the ''hair' on the
African frogs is an abnormal devel-
opment of the tubercles that appear
on the skin of the ordinary frog. The
ordinary person, however, who places
appearance above origin, will doubtless
call it 'hair."

Sir Eric Geddes, first lord OF the
British admiralty, who is in this coun-
try with several officials of the British
navy, praises the conduct of the Amer
lean sailors and officers now on duty in
foreign waters. He says: For the
last eighteen months we on our side
have had the opportunity of seeing
your navy work, and | am voicing the
opinion not only of the royal navy and
the British nation, but of the whole
of the Allies, when l say that your
sailors, no less than your gallant
troops, have won our deepest admira
ton. The dauntless determination
which the United States has displayed
in creating huge trained body OF
seamen out of landsmen is one of the
most striking accomplishments of the
war. Had it not been effectively done
one would have thought it impossible
