FEARED SMALL NEIGHBORS


FEARED SMALL NEIGHBORS
The question of the unrestricted U-hoat
war was discussed as early as August 80,
at the request of the imperial chancellor
1t was a matter of immediate concern
to the field marshal and myself that any
part of our naval forces should simply
lie idle in this contest of nations. 1t was
not enough help for the army merely to
keep the Baltic open, and contribute the
naval corps in Flanders, while the opera
tons of the entente received decisive as
siStance from their navy.
Only with extreme regret could we re-
fuse to pronounce in favor of unrestricted
submarine warfare. on he ground that,
in the opinion of the imperial chancellor,
it might possibly lead to war with Den
mark and Holland.
We had not a man to spare to protect
ourselves against these states, and even
if their armies were unaccustomed to
war. they were in 4 position to invade
Germany, and give us our deathblaw
We should have been defeated before
the effects, promisd by the navy of an
unrestricted U-boat campaign, should
have made themselves felt.
The discussion, however, afforded an
opportunity of overhauling our defensive
arrangements on the Danish and Dutch
frontiers. The northern command was
Instructed to fortify these frontier lines.
The encouragement in Brussels was
asked to hurry AS much as available
labor permitted the construction of for
titled lines on the Belgian frontier, with
which beginning lad already been made
How heavily Roumania weighed on his
mind when he took full command of the
German armies in 1916 is shown by Luden-
dorff tomorrow. He Ia cked troops to meet
the great menaee of the Roumanian adj
vance into Pennsylvania and had to de-
nude the eastern front still further. He
also found Bulgaria was very selfish
ally, who pursued her own aims, without
regard to the fortunes of Germany.

FAMOUS OLD TRINITY CHURCH

Metropolis.

A step from the most frenzied corner

jestically the dark, substantial Gothic
structure, Trinity church.
Since the skyline Of the metropolis

of writer's Trinity spire has occupied
positions of varying importance as a
landmark, or as a standard Of COM
parlson. But Trinity church is no
longer visible except from Wall street,
for the remote distance of block and
a half. 1t is hemmed In and walled
around by towering Office buildings. Its
beauty, its dignity, its sacredness are
all enhanced by the surprises Of Its
setting. 1t is enshrined where once 1t
reigned supreme.
Elevated trains roar past the western
side Of Trinity's fine old graveyard.
Less than a stones throw from the
main portal is the entrance to the sub
way, with its laundering express
trains. Above the clatter Of the street
chimes ring forth the quarter hours

Trinity Church corporation dates
back to 1907, while some of Its tomb
stones record dates 1881 and 1901
years when New York's population
numbered scarcely 5000.
On rare occasions the church uses

Anne in 100. The baptismal basin is
marked with the royal coat-of-arms of

The glory of definitely completing the
Louvre was reserved for Napoleon m !;
the activity he displayed in carrying
put this plan compensates to some
slight extent for other disastrous cpl
sodss Of his reign. On the 14th of Au-
gust, 1857, Napoleon III opened the at
last completed Louvre. Two marble
slabs conmemoratsd the building Of
the great French monument, one Of the
most perfect expressions of the artistic
genius Of the race. On one Of the slabs,
Which is still in existence, are Inscribed
the words: Francois l began the
Louvre. Catherine de Medici com
meneed the Tuilerles." On the other
marble slab, which has since been re-
moved, IT was stated: "1S52-1s57, Ma

Altho somewhat isolated from the general run of communication in the interior the people of Circle are not without means of enjoying them selves occasionally. During the holi. days. and especially at Christmas, the community enjoyed the mselyes very much.
 On Christmas eve large and well decorated tree occupied the central position at the school house and was much admired by the children as well as the older folks. A well Ien. dered program was given during the evening. The pupils of the SCHOOL entertained with recitations and songs, which were well rendered and showed signs of careful training. An orchestra composed of Mrs. RanGolph, the teacher. Judge Thomas Hunter and James Muir gave several nlusi. cal selections during the program. Other features of the evening con sisted of a solo by Judge Hunter. 2 violin solo by MT. Muir and piano selections by Mrs. Randolph.
 To the delight of the children a "sourdough" Santa Claus was in evi- dence to distribute the presents. Not having the necessary makeup, an old parka, several pillows and p!en- tiful supply of cotton batting was requisitioned and Rod Connors trans formed himself into a respectable Santa.
 On New Years eve the citizens of the town were the guests of Mir. and Mrs. Sidney Helms, at the radio station, and a most enjoyable .ime was had. Tie following evening a surprise party was rendered at the dance given at the Central house. thirty miles away. The surprise was complete and pleasant evening was spent.

W0ULDDESTR0Y THOUSANDS OF
 CARS OF FISH
(The AsSoclaIe6 Press)

SEATTLE. Jan. 24.-The United States district attorneys office to- day filed a libel against some of the leading Alaska packing concerns for the purpose of seizing several thousand cans of salmon, which the complaint alleges are composed of de- composed fish and are unfit for food The number of cans which the of ficial wishes seized amount to 96.000.
 This is the fifth action to be prot against the packing companies who operate in Alaska and the total seiz- ures come to S5S.646 cans.
 The district attorney claims to have proof that the fish were packed while in a state of decomposition and were ultimately destined to be disposed of to the government for shipment abroad. Once delivered it would be a hard matter to place the blame for the spoiled fish, as the packers could claim that they mad become spoiled after delivery. Great interest is being taken in the efforts of the district attorney in bringing the offenders to justice and ne will receive the aid of the pure food club.
