THE Little Whopper," one dashes to
press to affirm, proves At least two
things-that a fib still has strategic
value and that it is still useful for a
girl to begin life in the chorus. It
is a clear demonstration, as perceived
by the musical comedy book cut by
Otto A. Harbach. stitched by Rudolph
Friml and fitted by Bide Dudley. that a
f1bbing fiapper can get somewhere In
the world, provided that her flaps more
or less synchronixe with her fbs. There

OTTAWA. Oct. ls.-War restrictions on

LONDON, Oct 13.-Rear Admiral Jo-
seph Strauss. having finished the Job of
sweeping the North Sea free Of mines
sown during the war. is aboard the
steamship Adriatio en- route home. No
task Of the American navy has been
performed with greater completeness or
satisfaction than this postwar hopping
up. More than 100000 mines were
actually destroyed. The remaining 49,
600, which previously had been laid by
the American navy, had not survived the
severe storms, exploded on laying or
had been countermined during the mine
sweeping.
About 1000 officers and men of the
American navy were engaged on the
work Of mine sweeping. In all there
were eighty-three craft engaged. includ-
ing the Black Hawk. the Admiral's flag
ship, with the Panther and Chesapeake
with thirty-six mine sweepers, twenty
trawlers and twenty-four sub-chasers
There were in all eight mine sweeping
operations extending the length and
width Of the northern barrage, some
$50 miles between the Orkneys and the
Norwegian coast.
1t is only during the summer months
that mine sweeping is possible In this
part of the North Sea, and many being
electric mines and Of great sensitiveness
required the development of great
naval system of protection by the mine
sweeping craft. AS the American mine
layinb bases at Invergordon and Inver-
ness were too remote from the northern
barrage to permit of the best results in
mine sweeping. most OF our operations
took place from Kirkwall, in the Ork-
neys, and from Lorwick. The work has
been continuous since April 80, one de-
tachment being out of port twenty-six
and a half days. During the operation
gales often interfered with the work
now happily finished.
Two officers and nine men were killed
during the hazardous work, and includ-
ing the mine sweeper Richard Bulkewey,
which was lost, twenty-three ships alto
gether were damaged. Capt. W. r.
Sexton Of the naval headquarters in
London said: when we laid the mines
we never thought they would bother US
again. Indeed It is often much more
iifficult to let go than to take hold,
which maxim applies to most things OF

German people and the world.
 T welcome this pronouncement as a declaration of the infiexible will of the German people, that the coming peace shall be a, peace of lasting un- derstanding and conciliation among the nations, and that it must thus give Germany the possibility of per manently observing the principle of understanding and conciliation.
 The National Assembly and the government are working with devo- ton and energy to fulfill the great task of giving peace, bread, work and a new constitution to a great nation. The task is difficult to fulfill as long as those who have it in their power to give the world peace allow them selves to be dominated by feelings of hatred and revenge and, by means of the hunger blockade and by threat ening our annihiIation, are driving the German people to despair
 Five months ago we accepted our enemies terms. We agreed with them on the basis for a conclusion of peace. We have fulfilled the hard armistice conditions, disbanded our army and surrendered enemy prison ers, but peace is still withheld from us. Though defen nceless and econOm- iCally exhausted, We are still cut off by the blockade and our prisoners are still detained, which is equivalent to a continuation of the war. It is a burden such as no nation has as yet been compelled to endure. We have done everything to obtain peace from our enemies and to liberate our na- ton from this intoIerable torture. The responsibility for all the consequences which must follow the continuance of the present situation. for us and the world, must fall on their shoulders"
 President Ebert concludes by de- nouncing the internal disturbers of the country. whose action. he says, threatens to completely destroy our economic life.' He exhorts all classes to ''cease tearing one another to pieces"
