 The bribery evidence was contained in a deposition made by Minister Erzberger- Erzberger testified that he became convinced during the war that Nayhaus was intensely anxious to serve his Fatherland in some capa- city. Questioned by Nayhaus how this
 might best be done, Erzberger said he told Nayhaus to try to bring about a separate peace with one of Ger

FASHIONS IN HUMOR.

Humor is the most transient of lit erary forms. The jest which amuses the people of one generation leaves those of the next unsmiling and un- moved. Of course the basic princi- pies of flumor are as old as the hills. As Mark Twain said, there are but seven original jokes in the world, but the adaptation of these to modern needs necessitates a con stant fuxuati in form. Every new invention ribgns in its trail a flock of new jests-new, that is, to the casual eye, although they are but the old jokes freshly shaven and wearing the latest in literary garb.
 For such reasons as these the an- niversary of Albert Smith, which falls today, means nothing to the present generation of fun-loving hu- manity. A few old men and women will indulge in wan smiles at the memory of the merry quips and jibes with which Albert Smith once con- vulsed them with laughter, but even they would not derive much joy from a perusa1 of his works today. The fashion in humor has so changed that one of the most popular hu- morists of sixty-odd years ago is now passe and almost forgotten. The staff of Punch will observe the 103rd anniversary of the man who helped to make that pubIication the most popular of English humorous jour nals. but to the world at large Albert Smith is but name.
 Smith was born on May 24, 1S16 at Chertsey. Surrey, England, and died from an attack of apoplexy on May 23, 1860, the day before his forty-fourth birthday. His passing caused universal regret, for he was one of the most popular men in Great Britain, and had a large followin 2 on this side of the Atlantic. He de1ved deeply in the vein of humor then in vogue, but his work, like that of most humorists. was ephemeraI. The hu- mor1st whose works are to endure must be a philosopher as well as a wit. Mark Twain was a conspicuous

many's enemies preferably Russia. Anyone who could do that. Erzberger told him, would earn the gratitude of the Fatherland.
 Nayhaus told Erzberger that Niko1-, aievitch was the only man through whom the plan might be accomplish ed, and that the only person who was not afraid of the Grand Duke was a beautiful former Russian Grand Duch- ess, now a Montenegrin princess It would be necessary, however, to gain the assent and confidence of the Montenegrin M Prince, who at the time was in strengthened circumstances.
 The deposition continues that Nay won over for 5,000,000 and that Erzberger replied that money was no object, that 25,0O0,000 would be forthcoming if needed. ErZberger said he pointed out to Nayhaus that the government must not be known in connection with the negotiations and that some one would have to go to Mntenegro. Count NayhauS volunteer ed to make the attempt.
 Erzberger said he approved of the plan but warned Nayhaus he would be hanged if caught. Shortly afterwarc. according to the deposition. Naynaus became i'll and underwent an opera ton which prevented him from talk ing any further part in the scheme.
 He was brought to trial on a charge of having betrayed Germany by ac- cepting a bribe of $1,00o.

THE ORDER OF BATH.

The first of the English orders of knishthood is the Order of the Bath which is supposed to date to the period of the ancient Franks, and to have been introduced into England by the Saxons. The order as at pres ent constituted was instituted by George l.. who revived it 194 years ago tomorrow, May g, 1725. and fixed the number of knights at thirty seven. In 1915, the Prince Regent, afterward George ", greatly in creased the mem bership, and on May 25. 1s47, new statutes were decreed by which the order, hitherto exclus- ively military. was opened to civilians. The Order of the Bath gained it's name from the fact that the ancient Franks and Saxons made bathing an important part of the rites connected with the creation of knights. The order was not formally constituted until 1899. when Henry ". conferred the Order of the Bath upon forty six esquires. who had watched the night before and bathed, in accor- dance with old custom.
