PROBABLY THOUGHT A LOT
But Really, Under the Circumstances,
There Was Nothing the Actor
Manager Could Say.

The late Oscar Hammerstein, who
had genius for advertising his theat-
rical enterprises, used to tell a story
about an English aCtor-manager's at
tempt to follow his example.
"My conferee" Mr.. Hammerstein
would say, was having a new thea
ter built in London. Casting about
for some good way to advertise it, he
decided that an admirable scheme
would be to have the workmen while
excavating for the foundation come
across Roman antiquities. So he stole
down to the operation at dead Of night
and deposited a number Of costly, gen.
uine Roman antiquities just below the
surface of the spot being exCavated.
1.-THE next morning he arrived in
shaste to hear the news Of the great
find and report it to the journals. See
ing that the men had already dug well
below his hidden treasure, he said:
"'Good morning, foreman. Any
thing interesting this mOrning|
"'No, sir, not a thing, sir the fore
man answered.
1.-THE actor-manaCer looked at the
bullying pockets of the workmer and
said nothing. What could he say?"

Valuable Fish Statistics.

The French government has pub
liShed some curious figures as to the
depths at which sea fish can he found
and taken. These are really startling
for they prove that many Of the most
valuable food fishes live in far deeper
water than was ever before imagined
Flat fish, such as soles, lie upon
the bottom at 10 fathoms-that is, 42O
feet There is a case on record of a
sole being taken in a specially con-
structed net at the depth Of $50 feet
Hake, gurnard and rays abound up
to a depth of go fathoms, or 800 feet
Sole, turbot and brill are all found at
greater depths than this, the latter
two varieties having been taken at $50
feet. It is noticeable, however, that
small fish are not found at great
depth; 1t is only full-grOwn specimens
that seem able to withstand such ire
mendous pressure of water.

THIRD BATH MOST WELCOME
Plunge in Eisha's Spring Necessary
to Remove Traces Of Jordan
and the Dead Sea.

The Jericho region is supplied with
three kinds Of water and this prodi-
gality. coupled with the historic fame
of the Jordan valley, has furnished a
regular formula of bathing for pilgrims
to this hot depression, nearly quarter
of a mile below the level Of the sea.
Of course, every tourist has to battle
in the Dead sea; it is the thing to do.
Lucky Is the man whose skin does not
crack in the heat of the valley, for
Dead sea water on a cracked skin or
the film of the eye reminds one of
boiling oil and the Spanish inquisition.
Having performed the necessary
rite and dutifulIy completed an eXpe-
rience which can be recorded in the
diary of the trip. the poor pilgrim,
laved with a tenacious fluid that seems
to be composed of salt, kerosene and
I've, drives off to the Jordan and seeks
relief in the muddy water of that river.
Then, as night rapidly settles in the
deepest wrinkle on the face of Mother
Earth the tired traveller rides between
the miserable novels which constitute
modern Jericho and dismounts at the
Sultan's spring, once sweetened by
Elisha.
Here the water is collected in
large pool, both cold and clear, and
few resist the temptation to plunge
into it and remove forever any linger-
ing signs of the holy but muddy waters
of the Jordan.

FINE "GRIDIRON" AT COBLENZ
American Soldiers Stationed There
Have Facilities for Almost
Every Kind Of Sport.

Elaborate preparations were made at
Coblenz, Germany, for the football sea-
son. Grounds and stadiums which were
only partly finished year ngO have
been made permanent playing fields
and many Of them compare fuvorably
with the best college grldlrons in the
United States.
The most deliberately finished ground
rs in Coblenz, known as Carnival Is
land" 1t was on this ground that the
Third army championships were de-
eided last season. but the ground at
that time was not In as good con-
ditiOn as 1t Is today Neither were
there proper facilities, such as dress
ing rooms.
At this island there are now two reg
ular baseball fields, two football fields,
a golf course Of nine holes, polo
ground, a quarter-mile cinder track,
with 900 yard straightaway, and out
door basketball courts. On another
part is a ring for horse shows and nine
tennis courts.
Suitable bleachers to accommodate
5000 spectators have been built, and
there also are a large number of prop
erly equipped dressing rooms with
showers, rubbing tables and store
rooms.
Not only at Coblenz are there
grounds available for the soldiers, but
at Andernach, M0ntabaur and Neu-
WED the old grounds left by the A. E.
F. have been taken over by the Y. NJ.
G. A. and enlarged and remade in
every particular.

CITY CONSTRUCTED IN TIERS
Three Distinct Layers of Humanity
Make Up the Great Eastern
Port of Hongkong.

HongkOng is built in three stories
after the fashion of a Chinese pagoda.
There, however, the resemblance to a
temple ends. For Hongkong is a
mecca Of trade, a stronghold of Anglo
Saxon society and packing box in
which Chinese and other varieties of
Orientals are squeezed so tightly that
they seem perpetuaIly out of breath,
and used to it.
This three-layer system Of municipal
architecture, which should be an eX-
tremely lucky arrangement according
to Chinese superstition, is made pos
sible by a hillside rising near the har-
Dor. Up this hillside the city seems
to have backed steadily until 1T
reached the crest, where it stopped
without attempting to progress down
the other side.
There is no elevator from one floor
of HOngkong to the next but the cable
car which shoots up and down the hill
furnishes a sensation which is con
sidered by most people very reminis-
cent of elevator journeys taken in
American sky-sCraperS.
Hongkong is really three cities. The
first story, being the closest to the
harbOr, is conveniently given over to
commerce. The second floor houses
the natives, a conglOmeration of ORR
entails mainly Chinese, who all seem
to be in the streets all the time.
The top floor is reserved for for
eign residents. 1t is altogether sue
cesSful as a suburb of The business
port, partly because it has no c0mpe-
tition and partly because of its obvi-
GUS advantages. The name HOngkOng
does not suggest rOse-cOvered cottages,
but these are the accepted style Of resi-
dence in upper HOngkOng. When he
can live on the mountain top, $500 feet
above the crowded harbOr, the for
eigner does so and gladly takes the
chances of having his brains added or
his head knocked off in the perilous
journey 'tO town."

point of view. The surrender had
wiped that out" And now they
wanted to begin over again and be
friends.
They knew nothing. of the traditions
OF the sea. Several years ago they
had never seen salt water, Which
probably partly explains the absence

much concerned with the fact that
the German navy had been the first
navy in histbry to deliver itself almost
intact to an enemy in surrender, as
they We're concerned that this was the
final act necessary to end the war

Officers Different.
The officers however. were of a
different stamp, There was one in
from Hanover. He was fine looking
chap, light hair clean features. friend-
ly blue eyes nd an easy smlle-which
served to accentuate the. perversion
and bitterness of his point of view.
How incredible it sounded when he
replied, with a smile. Certainly. sub
marine commanders willingly carried
out orders TO sink passenger ships with
women and children aboard. They
were glad TO do 1t. That is war!"
1t seemed so incredible. from a fell
low like this, l asked him to repeat.
He said the same thing over again.
slowly with the same smile. and
seemed to see nothing odd in 1t. He
rather appeared bit amused that the
question should arise.
There were very few officers. how
ever. Most of the captains and lieu
tenants had preferred to let their sub
ordinats do the surrendering. More
than one U-boat was surrendered by
a petty officer, or a Junior grade lieu
tenant.

mail. What kind of fellows person
ally are these German submarine
sailors they who used TO go about
sinking passenger and hospital ships
without warning?
This is a question every American
has asked himself at some time.
From British launch today I saw
hundreds of them-standing In gro
tesque groups on the u-boats' decks
tumhling from the submarine into the
launch, and leaning with their kits as
the launch hurried them back to their
transport-and I talked personally
with dozens of them.
The first personal impression as
your launch draws up beside sub
marine is the boyishness of the faces
before you. Many seemed from 10 to
16. Several admitted they were IS,

Faces OhsoIutc Masks.
The next. is the remarkable express
slonlessness of their features. You
had expected to find sullenness, or
detection. or spite. Instead YOU find
yourself looking into group of abso-
lutte masks. registering neither joy
nor sorrow, relief or strain, pleasure
nor hate-absolutely nothing giving
the faintest hint as to what is going
on behind. You never realized before
the capacity of the German physiog-
nomy to conceal feeling.
You came to find desperate men.
You found strange-looking boys, in
grotesque nondescript uniforms.
Some wore the conventional gray
ish jacket worn by locomotive and
stationary enginemen in the states.
Others combined the regular blue
Jacket of the German navy with a
pair of olive khaki trousers. Stil
others had their engineers jacket
over an ordinary dark brown or black
pair of civilians trousers. All had
the little round blue cap of the Ger
man. Jackie.
AS the crew swarmed off the sub
marine into the launch 1t became ap-
parent all We're not boys. Here and
there was man of 30, bristling in a
four or five days growth of whiskers.
Here was chap of Is looking as if
he had just come out of a machine
shop.
Once aboard, the masks dropped
from their faces, and l was soon sur
rounded by u ring of eager, smiling
German boys, with fat cheeks and
friendly blue eyes. all trying to answer
all questions at once.
The element of bitterness seemed to
