Concerning the cheese that made
Limburg famous. a bulletin of the Ma

communication from William wisner
Chaplin as follows:
"Limburg is sometimes called the
garden of Holland. OF the celebrated

has long been a query how an article
of food made from delicious material
and considered such a deiicacy can
possess so obnoxious an odor and still

Statistics, though often interesting,
are sometimes most misleading and
futile. For example, it is interesting
to know from the census bureau the
number of prison commitments among
the foreign-born population of the
United States. but it would be most
unsafe to base any congratulations on
them, for the number Of commitments
to prison is no indication of the num-
Der Of crimes committed, and there
are many more criminals at large than
behind the bars. Those In prison were
not clever enough to escape. They
got caught. Those at large were able
to commit their crimes and elude de-
lection. The figures for America prob
ably are not very different. There 85
per cent Of the criminals are at large.
1t is fair to assume that this 50 per
cent Is more intelligent than the 10
per cent that got caught. Therefore
the Is per CEN for which the statistics
are given Is a highly selected group.
and any conclusions based upon such
statistics are untrustworthy as applied
to criminals in general, however val
liable they may be as TO the compara-
lively small number that are In jail.

SAVED TWO FAMOUS PICTURES
Old Masters Taken by British Office
From the Ruins OF Ypres
Cathedral.

The king of the Belgians will shortly
have returned to him two famous pic
lures which were rescued. four years
ago, from Ypres cathedral. 1t APP
pears that during the bombardment of
Ypres in 1915 a young British artil-
lery officer noticed inside the cathe-
dral, which was being heavily shelled.
that the only things not shattered by
German fire were two large Flemish
masters, dated 1000, hanging some 20
feet high on the walls. How to get
them and save them for Belgium was
the question which Immediately pre-
sented itself, The officer called two
private soldiers to help him, and with
the aid Of some long gas pipes which
had been blown down by the German
fire, and two large hooks. the pictures
were lowered to the ground. The Of
icer, Lieutenant Daniels, r. A., then
cut the pictures out Of their frames
and put them In a large sack. which he
used for a time as a bed. In the end
he took them to London, where, with
the approval of the Belgium minister,
they have been placed on exhibition
prior to being returned to King Albert
at Brussels.

TROOPS INREvOLT
Recorded Cases Of Mutlny in
British Army.
Have Been Rare. In Recent Years
Though War Office Archives Con-
tain Accounts Of uprisinos
That Were Serioua

With the exception Of the recent
rehabilitation troubles, mutinous dem
onstrations by soldiers of the British
army have been. happily, rare In mod
ern times. though they were not by
any mean infrequent In the bad cid
days Of the lash and the triangle.
One Of the most serious Of these out.
breaks was that which occurred In the
Black Watch, over 100 years ago. in
connection with which three men were
shot in the moat Of the tower of Lon
don.
The duke Of Wellington had to deal,
roo. with several of these outbreaks
during the Peninsular war, and his
methods, for the most part. were
equally drastic.
1t was his way, however, to deal
lightly with mere petulant outbursts.
Thus, when the Twelfth Lancers mis-
behaved in the summer of 1872 by re-
fusing TO turn out for church parade,
he decreed that the entire regiment
should be paraded every evening at 10
o'clock. and stand at attention during
the playing of FIVE hymns by the band.
No limit was set to the duration of
the order, and the custom. as 1t event
ually became, was continued up 10
1912, when it was abolished, after
having lasted exactly 100 years.
Far more serious notice was taken
by the authorities of a mutiny which
broke out among the Nineteenth Hus-
sars at the Curragh camp in Novem-
Der, 1877. The trouble began through
discomfort with certain officers in con-
neetion with extra duty. No fewer
than rs of the m~alcontents were ar
rested and tried before a general
courtmartial, the sentences ranging
from five to eight years penal servi-
tude.
Very tragic was the outcome of a
mutiny which broke out among the
garrison of Malta in April, 1907. The
malcontents seized Fort Ricasoli, over
looking the grand harbor. where they
were besieged by loyal troops. Event
ually. rather than surrender, they fired
the magazine and all persisted.
Probably. however, the most danger
Gus instance of wholesale disaffection
occurred in 1859 among the British
troops then serving in. India. The
disaffected men had enlisted to serve
In the Old East India company. Yet.
when the company ceased to exist,
these men, by a strokes of the pen,
were incorporated into the regular
British army.
They objected. and regiment after
regiment refused to obey orders. In
the end the government was compelled
to accede to their demands, when
some 10000 men claimed their dis
charge. and were sent home to Eng
land.

The Government Your Banker.

In response to the desire of a num-
Der Of soldiers who are being releasea
from the army. Col. Arthur Woods. as
sistant to the secretary Of war, has ar
ranged facilities for discharged men
to deposit part of their funds at the
camp and have them transferred to
banks In their home towns Local
clearing houses in the vicinity of the
twenty-three rehabilitation camps are
appointing agents to handle these
funds and will transfer them free Of
charge to whatever bank the soldier
may designate. This gives the released
soldiers an opportunity to safeguard
such Of their funds as they choose, and
to have them forwarded free wherever
they wish.
