CANADIANS TO SEE
 FAMOUS MYSTERY SHIP

WINNIPEG, Feb. (by Associated Press.)-Information from Ottawa of- ficially confirms reports that one of the much discussed British mystery ships" that preyed on unsuspecting German submarines will cross the Atlantic in the spring and visit a number of American and Canadian ports on the Great Lakes. It would be the first allied warship to come to the lake region.
 Mystery ships, carefully guarded naval secret, were built with a draft of three and half feet, making them almost immune from torpedo attacks. They resemble slow1going, helpless tramps, but carried guns of sufficient caliber to sink any submarine afloat. Because of their light draught, the boats are able to navigate the St. Lawrence canals. Tentative plans, it Is understood, provide that the "mys- tery ship" to be sent over will carry an interesting exhlpYr of naval weap. ons and trophies.

ONLY FOUR VOTERS IN
 COUNTY PAID TAXES

ST. AUGUSTINE (by Associated Press) Feb. 11.-Because only four voters in ncwly-formed Flagler county paid their 1918 poll tax, Governor Catts of Florida has postponed until March 4 a special election in that county to name a member of the Lcwer House of the Legislature. The governor in his proclamation does not refer to the dearth of qualified voters but says several citizens of said county desire to have said election postponed" ...
 Under a recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, which keld that the legal quorum shall vote and be all sufficient, 1t is declared the four voters could have elected the representative had the election been held on the date originally set.
 Flagler county originally was part of St. Johns county, of which St. Au- gustine is the county seat.

FOOD APPORTI0NMENT
 IN AMERICAN ZONE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY OF OCCUPATION, Jan. 4 Correspond ence of the Associated Press) Ger man newspapers in the American oc- cupied area recently have warned the people of food shortage before spring. The Germans are urged to economize in food as they did day after day during the war.
 The weekly allowance of food for the civilians of Coblenz as fixed by the German civil authorities is virtu- ally the same as while the war was in progress. The present price for milk, which Is allotted to infants and in- valids, is 37 marks quart
 The food allowance for each resi- dent of Coblenz for the week from December 30 to January was as fol- follows: Bread, four pounds and eight ounces; cereal (barley) seven ounces; ; potatoes, seven pounds; meat. seven ooAASSo' oouP oCOCh, seven ounces 1, margarine, two ounces; artificial honey, five ounces. The allowance is virtually the same as the week be- fore, excepting that during the week previous fourteen ounces of meat were allowed, and each individual was allowed five ounces of jam and seven ounces of sugar.
 Additional allowances for heavy workers and children are about the same from week to week. Under this ruling the workers are permitted to purchase an additional pound of pota- toes, and children under two years of age are allowed half a pound of biscuit with an additional half pound of cereal.
 Butter and eggs are not to be found in the markets, but surreptitiously a trade in them is carried on. An egg is worth from a mark to a mark and half, and butter brings from fifteen to twenty marks a pound. Special efforts have been made recently by the German civil authorities to stamp out this trading in luxuries which they contend, has been continued for years.

CERMANY'S WAR DEBT
 WILL BE PAID IN FULL

MUNICH, Jan. 10 Correspondence of the Associated Press).-"The one debt which Germany never under any circumstances would repudiate, no matter how hard pressed 1t might be- come, is it's war loan," said a Ba- varian financier recently. He based his opinion on the fact that the war loans are so thoroughly distributed among the people that a failure to pany any one or any part of any loan would hit hardest those who can least afford to lose.
 Bavaria is good example of the universality of the loan holdings, for no less than 1,430,000 families, or nearly everyone in the former king dom, took at least some of the nine loans. All of them are, of course, in- timately interested not only in the payment of the loan they hold, but in the conduct of the financial affairs of Germany. Reports of the amounts
  loans would seem to indicate, when compared with the 1,430,000 total above, that hundreds of thousands of persons subscribed over and over again.
 The Bavarian savings banks, with the deposits of relatively a small di- e. r~~, invested All ,50O,OO0 marks in the first eight loans, and their depositors with money not in banks subscribed an- other 293,300,000 marks. The state insurance agencies against sickness, the Bavarian cooperative societies and the ordinary insurance companies, added total of 96,300,000 marks to the first seven loans.

VLADIVOSTOK, Jan. 2 (by maiD - Three forests of the lower Amur. Khabarovsk, Lower Amurskoe and Nikolaevsk regions, comprise nearly 90,O00,000 acres of forest ground, says the Vladivostok Primorskaya, which adds that without exhausting their wealth these forests can produce 24,- O00,O0O cubic feet of lumber annually,
 Nickolaevsk, the port from which it would be exported, needs only some improvements to make it available, says the newspaper. To prepare this wood for shipping to the international market it would be necessary to over- come needless formalities, and to at- tract popular savings for the exploita- tion of these sleeping riches.

Probably No Winter Carnival

Due to the lack OF a sufficient
amount Of snow to enable the carrying
out of the elaborate program arranged
by the Dartmouth Outing Club for the
annual Winter Carnival at Hanover,
the team of six men which was to have
represented Middlebury in the meet
will not leave this week as previously
announced. Although there is some
possibility of the meet being held at a
later date it is rather improbable owing
to the lateness of the season which
would make the weather conditions
even more uncertain than they are at
present
Ever since three weeks ago when the
invitation to compete in the meet was
received, Miesse, who was to have cap
tanned the Middlebury team, has been
endeavoring to arrange an nter-class
meet in order to pick team but was
unable to do so on account of the lack
of sufficient snow.

tribute to the work which DR.. Collins

mistaken idea in suggesting that Mid

whose real worth had not heretofore
been duly appreciated.
In the decade which DR.. Collins has
spent here, his very presence has been
an influence for the uplift of the col

of the wholesome farm home and we'll

of the preservation of his rugged con-

him in good stead as an executive.

BONDS TO PAY
DEBT OF HONOR
They Will Bring Home the Fight.
ing Men Who Have Won the
Victorious Peace.

The Fifth Liberty Loan will be used
especially and emphatically in paying
a debt of honor
The debt Is one owed by the nation
to its fighting forces. VINO could
think for a moment that 1t would not
be paid eagerly in the finest spirit and
with pride in meeting the obliga-
lions?
This Loan - the VICTORIOUS
FIFTH-which will be offered In about
three months, will bring home the men
who fought through France from
Chateau-Thierry right to Sedan, thou
sands Of whom are today on German
soil
The President says that large pro-
portion Of them must remain during
the period of occupation. Those who
will be brought home will be trans
ported and demobilized at very
heavy expense for months TO come.
The Loan will pay these charges.
To avoid them in any way, to try to
cut down on them, to fail to provide
money for them, would be an incred-
ible act on the part Of the people OF
the United States.
The men who went to France, ready
to give their lives If need be for the
nation, did not lit half way-did not
stop when they thought the end
seemed almost near. They went to
the very limit They saw the war to
the very close, however bitter It might
be.
To look after them In the period OF
the making of the peace. to bring them
home in comfort and safety and honor
must be the one effort Of all the war
loans in which the nation will Join
to man.
The realization OF what the men
have done is written across the history
Of the United States the past eighteen
months. The opportunity to pay the
debt OF honor will be met In return
ing them to peace and prosperity.
The opportunity lies in the new
Liberty Loan bond, that is the Fifth
Loan.
Use the next throe months in pre-
pairing to join in pc Nng the county, e
debt of honor to her soldiers who have
won the victory.

TRUTH STRANGE AS FICTION
Novel by William De Morgan Has
Counterpart 10 Real Life-Story
of Enolshman.

A little more than ten years ago an
Englishman, deep in the sixties, won
great renown by going to hospital.
His illness, though severe was ordi-
nary enough. The use he made of his
cOnvalescence distinguished him.
Propped up in bed, William De Nor
gan wrote his first novel. When he
was entirely recovered, he wrote an
other, which was destined to carry on
his fame around the reading world.
The book told the story of an engi-
neer returned to London after many
adventures. There mishap in the
tube caused him to lose his memory.
In the dazed state he lived new life.
BY chance he met his former wife, fell
In love with her and married her again.
Strange as was De MOrgans tale
critics said only he could make 1t con-
vincing-London itself has duplicated
1t from life.
John Arthur Lewis, a returned sol.
der, was lately hailed into court for
absconding with money he had col
lected for his employers.
His innocence was easily proved. On
the collecting trip he had been struck
by van and injured. Bereft Of his
memory he wandered over England,
arrived at his old home, and was In
troduced by his mother to a young
woman, said to be his wife.
He refused to accept his past until
one night the German airmen dropped
bombs, and the shock Of the explosion
restored his memory. Then all came
back, even the uncompleted days
work Of last August.
History here modifies the ancient OBJ
servatlon as to truth and fiction. Truth
is not stranger than good writing.
Rather the artist senses probably
ahead Of the facts and later reality
corroborates him. Who knows not at
least one Enoch Ardenf Tennyson
guessed them all.
