In that year 25, 700 tons of tobacco were ex- poi ted as compared with 6,89O tons in 7917 The bulk of this tobacco was shipped during the early months of 1918, and the later months showed a marked decrease. The exports of ci- gars however, showed steady in- crease during the entire year, the num- Der shipped being 359, 100000, valued at s7,OOOOOO as against 2S4,OOO,OOO valued at S4,5OO,OOO. in 1917. Most of this production was absorbed by the American market. The increase is largely due to government supervision in order to guarantee the quality of all shipments to the United States.

The AirnIane as a DecoY,

Ever since wars have been waged man has made use of decoys to outwt the foe Even in the recent war a decoy proved to be useful once in a while. An instance occurred at point on the western front where the British trenches faced a salient of the Ger man trench system. At the time when the British staff determined to reduce the salient the Daily Chronicle tells us, the Germans were expecting an ordi- nary attack with its primary lombard ment They promptly fell into the trap set for them.
 Early in the morning British air plane flew very low over the front line trenches and passed parallel to the German line, but 500 or 600 yards behind 1t. The Germans thought the plane target that could not be missed, and turned their backs on the British trenches to fire on the machine. While they were engaging the airplane. the British infantry suddenly went over the top and in few minutes captured the position and took number of pris- OnerS.
 The machine returned to its air drome riddled with bullet holes, but both the pilot and the observer were uninjured.

N|CK'S HARD FATE
One Romanoff to Whom Country
 Has Been UngratefuI.
Story of Great Russian Military Com. mander Most Amazing Romance of the War-His Splendid Gen.
 eraIship ls Recalled.

From March, 1917, till October, 1918, Grand Duke Nicholas Romanoff, for mer commander in chief of the Rus sian armies and one of the most bril- liant generals of the great war, was a prisoner in the town of Yalta in the Crimea. He is now in Milan with his family, humbly housed. The story of Big Nick" is one of the most amaz- ing romances of the war, the Pitts burgh Gazette-Times states.
 When the bolsheviki gained control of Russia Nicholas was residing at Tiflis. where he had been governor un- der the czar and under the Lvoff regime. He was summoned to Yalta by the bolshevik authorities and obeyed the summons. His brother, his wife, his sister-in-law and other members of his family and his suite were impris- oned with him. Twenty-Five bolshevik soldiers were detailed to guard the dis tinguished prisoners.
 Late in the summer of 1918 it was decided by the Yalta soviet to execute all the prisoners. The bolshevik guards absolutely declined to permit the sen tence of death to be executed and sent the firing squad back to headquarters. Three times thereafter eXecutioners were sent to kill the prisoners, but in each instance the guard prevented the carrying-out of the sentence.
 When the Germans came to Yalta Nicholas declined to permit the Ger mans to enter the house that had been his prison. declaring his utter loath- ing of all things German. Soon after this the allies took Yalta and Nicholas was rescued.
 All the private fortune of the grand duke has been lost. His lands have been confiscated. At Milan he lives comfortably, but very unostentatiously.
 Democracy owes much to Grand Duke Nicholas. He was, in fact, a stanch upholder of the old Russian ab- solutism. But first of all Nicholas was Q Russian. He knew Russia's salva- ton depended on the vanquishing of Germany. He was leader of con- summate skill and 1t Is more than prob able that only his splendid generalship prevented Germany from winning the war in the early stages. His retreat before the tremendous attack of Mack esen and Hindenburg, which resulted Tn the saving of the Russian armies, was one of the most notable chapters of the war.
 Between the bolshevist Russia of to- , day and the old autocratic Russia for which Nicholas fought, practical stu dents and statesmen find little choice, but 1t must be admitted that the au- !! tocracy produced great men, while the gutter communism has found only scoundrels for its leaders. In the awarding of justice there should be some provision for this gigantic Rus sian. who in 1914 and 1915 prevented Germany from marching to easy vic tory.

Honor for the CowbelI.

Never again can the cowbell be looked upon as something merely bucolic, commonplace and utilitarian, connoting at best for the city man memories of idling away summer hol iday in the country. What the cow bell has meant to the country boy in early rising to do stable chores, and tedious hunting through swampy bot tom lands for the heifer who appears to have no homing instinct it is rather difficult to express politely. But now the despised cowbell has achieved its apotheosis, for thanks to the ingenuity, of a California composer, a set of them. towering a chromatic range of 7n octave and half," was used in the symphonic music of this years Bo- hemian Grove play. This, perhaps, in some small degree makes up for the fearful contemporary misuse of an honorable If lowly instrument by jazz bands.

Niqht Fly Fishing.

The question as to whether or not trout will rise to flies by moonlight is one that has long been discussed in the Adirondacks. A number of Adj rondack guides have insisted that they have taken good catches of trout by moonlight fly fishing. Others of the woods brethren, however, have merely smiled when one speaks of suaring the speckled ones under ths light of tbe June moon.
 Some fishermen claim to have taken them that way, while others say 1t is merely a fish story. Apparently about the only way one can prove 1t to his own satisfaction is to go some moon. light night to waters where they know trout are and try it for themselves.
 There is, however. no doubt regard ing brown trout taking flies at night at least not in some waters. Arthur Munsil Malone recently secured seven fine brown trout from Salmon river whose waters were bathed in moon light at the time-Saranac Lake Daily Item.
