in ancient times?
j. l.. NJ, New Baltimore, Ohio
The Athenians began the year in
June. the Macedonians in September,
the Romans first in March and after
ward in January, the Persians on
August IL, the ancient Mexicans on
February 23, the Mohammedans in
July. The Chinese year, which begins
early in February, is similar to the
Mohammedan in having IL months of
29 and 80 days, alternately, but in
every 10 years there are seven years
which have IS months. This is not
quite correct, and the Chinese have
therefore formed a cycle of so years,
in which period % intercalary
months occur.

Delay in Expected Offensive
Thus Explained.
DELAY FAyORS ALLIES
Either There is Shortage Of Man Pow
or and Munitions or Internal
Situation is Serious.

Washington, July 12.-The conyic-
ton that the German High Command
has encountered serious obstacles in
pressing the offensive on the western
front is gaining ground in the minds
of officials here They cannot believe
that renewal OF the attack would be
deferred voluntarily. when II is oDv-
ious that every days delay works
against the success OF the German
plan Of forcing military decision
this yea.
Secretary Bakcr said today that
nothing definite is known here as to
the reasons that have compelled the
German delay He made 1t clear,
however, that the failure of the
enemy to act against the repeated To-
cal counterattacks by the French,
British and American troops were ac-
cepted as conr,usive evidence that
the German offensive was being held
in check by some consideration other

sPEcTER OF GREAT LAKES
Many a Sailor lmagines He Sees the
Bannockburn Which Disappeared
In Mysterious Fashion.

One superstition that is firmly
rooted in the minds Of all Great Lakes
navigators concerns the mysterious
wreck of the Bannockburn.
"She was n big, powerful freighter,
carrying a crew of % men. She cleared
Duluth on day In the late fall. What
happened TO her win never be known.
She went out In the morning, and was
last sighted the next evening. That
was the end. For more than year
the chill water Of Lake Superior guard
ed well their secret. Then one day
an oar was found floating along the
driftwcod Of the bleak north shore.
A piece of tarpauln was wrapped Sc
curely around 1t, and when this was
removed 1t was found that the word
Bannockburn was scraped into the
wood. The oar is all that remains to-
day to tell the story Of the missing
frelghter.
According TO the queer twist given
the story by the sailors of the inland
seas the Bannockburn is supposed to
be the Flying Dutchman of the Great
Lakes. Sometimes at night. when the
chill north wind sweeps across the
swollen bosom of Lake Superior and
the stinging ice devils fill the air, the
lookout on some lonely point calls
loudly TO his companions and points
to where he imagines the Bannock-
burn, all white with ice and CHASTITY
In the darkness, Is slipping through
the black mystery Of the lake"
