MILLIONS OF PENNIES,

Ninety million pennies are being
turned out Of the United States
minis every month TO meet the de-
mand for the "odd cent" sales caus-
ed by the war taxes.
The average of 100000 coppers
daily requires between four and five
hundred people in the various mints
just to count the pennies and put
them in packages for distribution.
Practically all of the work of the
mints is now being devoted TO the
making of pennies.
AT the present rate, the output
bringing ii down TO a fine point, is
about 30 bright new pennies every
time the clock ticks. Plans are TO
continue this large production for
several weeks.

BRITISH DIRIGIBLE LANDS SUNDAY.

Great Britain'S super-dirigiblc
Balloon airship, R-34, the first light

Atlantic ocean, anchored at Mineola,

Greenwich time) after an aerial
voyage of 108 hours and ~ minutes,
which covered $3.50 knots or 5000
land miles.
Passing through dense banks of
clouds, with the sun and sea visible
only at rare intervals, the R-34 was
forced to cruise 1850 knots to reach
Trinity Bay, n. F., from East For
tune, Scotland, and 1880 knots from
there to Nlineola. She started at
1:43 a. M, Tuesday, the 1st.
When the Supcr-Zeppelin arrived
at Mincola she had left only enough
petrol to keep her moving ninety
minutes longer. Her crew, almost
sleepless for four and half days,
were weary almost to the point of
exhaustion but happy at the sue
cessful completion of their epoch
making trip.
Hasgard, unshavcn, their eyes
bloodshot from the long vigil, and
lines Of care bitten deep into~their
faces, Major G.. III. Scott, the COM
mander, and his officers, showed
plainly the effects of the anxious
hours through which they lived,
while they were cruising over the
far reaches of Canada and the Bay
of Fundy, beset by fog, heavy winds
and terrific electrical storms.
1t seemed as though the atmos-
phere was haunted by 5000 DEVILS -
said Lieutenant Guy Harris, the met
eorological officer.
With the R-34 long overdue at its
destination, petrol supply running
low and buffeted by strong head
winds, Major Scott decided Satur-
day while over the Bay of Fundy to
send wireless call to the American
navy department TO be prepared to
give assistance if it were needed.
This was merely measure of pre-
caution and did not indicate dis
| cOuragcment. While dcstroyers and
| submarine chaSerS were racing to
her assistance, the R-34. was plug
ging steadily ahead ON the way to
MineOla. Once clear of the bay of
Fundy, the atmospheric hoodoo
which had beSct the craft from the
time it took the air was gradually
left in its wake.
The R-3l is a little over 600 feet
long and the biggest craft of this
kind now allOat.
She left on her return trip about
II o'clock Wednesday night, the
| 9th.

said TO newspaper reporter:
1--WE have ships building that are
twice as big as the R-34 and will

an hour faster. You can therefore
say that we have made this trip

THE CASE OF CAPTAIN FRYATT,

He body Of CAPTAIN Charles Fry

mans Tor attempting to ram a sub
:nari inc, was brought to Dover. Eng

destroyer, escorted by vessels of the
Dover patrol.
lie casket, on a gun carriage, was
drawn solemnll fIcm the DESTROYER

by a naval escort and civil authori-
ties. the casket was placed in the
station under a military guard for
the night. 1t WIS taken by train to
London. Cn the Sth, where national
memorial services were held at
st. Paui'S cathedral.
The case Of Captain Charles Fry
att has been classed with that of
Editli Cavell, the Eritish nurse who
was executed by the Germans. Cap
tain Fryatt was commander of the
British steamer Wrexham on March
%, 1915, when the German subma-
rine U-33 ordered the Wrexham to
stop near the Mas lightship. Cap
tain Fryatt, acting as he afterward
said under orders of the British ad-
miralty, attempted to ram the sub
marine. The German U-boat mar
rowly escaped by diving. His ex-
ploit was hailed in England as a
brilliant one and no attempt was
made to keep his identity secret.
Instead the British admiralty gave
him a gold watch for his "bravc
conduct and he was mentioned in
the house of commons. Thus the
Germans learned the identity of the
mariner who had attempted to sink
their submarine.
More than a year afterwards, on
June "a, 1916, Captain Fryatt was
captured by the Germans, together
with the steamer Brussels which he
was plotting from Rotterdam TO Til
bury. German warships took the
Brussels into Zeebrugc. About a
month later, July 2Sth, the an
nounccmcnt came from Berlin that
Captain Fryatt had been executed
ly shooting after a trial before a
German court martial. The Ger
man official statement declared that
the Captain. was executed for a
frahctircur crime" against armed
German sea forces.

NUMBER 8
FIVE JUDGES TO TRY KAISER.

Touching the proposed trial of
William Hohenzollern, this comes
from London:
John Andrew Hamilton, Lord
Sumner, will preside over the five
Judges representing the United
States, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan at the trial of the former
German Emperor, according 10 the
Evening News.
Sir Gordon Hcwart, Solicitor
General OF Great Britain, will lead
for the prosecution. William Ho-
hcnZollcrn, it is said, will be defend
ed by German counsel, assisted by
british lawyers if he wishes them.
Edward Douglass White, Chief
Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court, is regarded as the log
lcal choice of the American Gov
ernmcnt. -st.
The only surprise of the report
by Premier Lloyd George on the
work of the Peace Conference to the
House of Commons was the news
that the former German Emperor
would be tried in London. The
Premier has habit of launching
news i'll speeches., notable previ-
GUS instance being his address in
which he said that three submarines
had been sunk in one day. That
address came at time when the
submarines were the most menacing
factor in the war situation.
The decision to bring the former
German Emperor to London. with
other prominent accused persons,
has been a well-kept secret, and it
is understood that Lloyd George was
responsible for the proposal. Hol.
land, however, has YET to be reck-
oned with, it is reported. Dutch
public opinion has seemed to
strongly support the Kaiscr's right
CT asylum there, and there are many
predictions that Holland NAV re-
fuse to give up the deposed mon
arch and that the powers will not
cOercc her.
