CLEANED FROM FOREIGN EXCHANGES.

An expert salvor explains thot it is impossible to reclaim the Lusftania. She Hes. under a pressure of about 140 pounds to the square inch. Every pound of pressure represents nearly two feet of Water-one atmosphere for every 33 feet. Therefore. the Lusitania lies deeper than mortal man can go. We are constantly being told of new inventions to enable men to sink lower into the water but there is no finer diver in the world than the Admiralty man, and 210 feet is his limit. Were St PauTs flooded to the top of the cross, descending divers could not ex- plore the lowermost 50 feet.
 The fate of the Russian generals continues appalling, and the name of Kaledin has now been added to the melancholy list. Of the generals who carried out the great offensive in 1916 there is Brussiloff broken and mained for life;, Alexeieff is fighting for bare existende; Russki the greatest of them all; Lechitsky. one of the para mount discoveries of the war; Radko Dimitrieff, the Bulgar hero; Lesh- they are all lost or dead; and Scher- bacheff has a price upon his head. The lesser men are sweeping streets or selling papers i-London Chronicle. <. ---------------
 The Correspondent of the London Chronicle reported a statement made 1 by the Prussian Minister of Justice | to the effect that the amount of juve- nile crime in the country had increased enormously during the war, and that 1 the matter presents most serious l problem.
 How, justified is that remark is l shown by some figures given by the Prussian Lower House Committee by | the Minister of Education, Dr. Schmidt Criminality among juveniles, he said 'has increased to a colossal 1 extent" In 1914 51 800 juveniles were punished. in. 1915 75,700 in 1916 116,-
 900, and in the first half of 1917 TO-
 300.
 .. The gallant red herring, alias -the
 soldier" appears to have followed the | lead of the rabbit, and fled to it's dug | out as soon as it's price was fixed. A lfishmonger, asked to explain what had happened to the. old favorite declared f it had been killed" by the Food Con- trolier. You see'' he added, fits like 1 this. The maximum charge for red | herrings and fresh herrings is the sane-8d. a lb.-as against Tod. for bloaters and Is. for kippers. Now, who do you think is going to turn a heavy weighing wet fresh herring into a dried red herring if he can possibly help it?"
 Two villages in South Worcester l sl1ire-Littleton and Badsey--haXe- set up an admirable record with regard Il to the cultivation of medicinal herbs
 for the supply of which the war hos pitals have been and are greatly Tn need The, .cottagers concentrated on
 growing of bGlladunna and henbane,
 and last year their crops yielded E6,-
 000 The value in 1915. when they
 started the culture, which is on CO.,
 operative lines, was e2. Until the
 outbreak of war the medicinal herb
 was little known in England.
 "There are only these things I want
 to make me really happy" wrote 8
 Tommy in Mesopotamia to a Midland
 depot which supplies soldiers com forts. They are bit of soap, a ny net, and a mouth h-organ." They were
 sent, andythe soldier in reply, says:
 sT feel like a new man. Pm as happy ,L as native sand boy The soap has given me a fresh start in life, and as
 the net is effective I get many a | musical evening h. peace, OuCA is the fine unmercenary spirit Of many of our soldiers.-London Chronicle.
