GOLDSMITHS IN ENGLAND ADMIT

London, Feb. 1T. = The Prince of Wales today received the freedom of the Go1dsmiths company, one of the most ancient London trade guilds, which has been in existence fer more than 700 years. He took a solemn cath that he would, among other things, ''warn the wardens of any de- cett in anything that belongeth to the craft of Go1dsmiths that shall come to my knowledge
 The Goldsmiths Hall, where the ceremony took place, is a massive structure situated on Foster Lane, in the city. Here the coin of the realm has been weighed and tested since the year 124S, but the chief work of the 100 men engaged there is to assay gold and silver plate. Their patron saint is St. Dunstan, who, according to legend, tweaked the devils nose with a pair of red hot pincers.
 Once a year, the time-honored "trial of the pyx'' is carried out at the Goldsmiths Hall. A pyx is a box into which one gold coin out of every 2,o0O issued by the mint, and one sil- yer coin out of every 60 pounds of silver coined, are thrown. The duty of the GoIdsmiths is to see that the money is of the right quality.

WITHIN THE LAW.

It happened (so 1t is alleged) in ths Army of Occupation following the is suance of a special order embodying food regulations issued from Third Army headquarters. This particular order provided that American officers and soldiers in the occupied area would thereafter purchase no eggs from the G\rmanS on account of the lack of food for the civil population.
 The order had been out full two weeks when the Chief of Staff of the Third Army received a report of the first violation. It was an especially fragrant and serious violation, inas- much as 1t involved the c. O. of a regiment, Col. E. R. w. McCabe, of the 17th Field Artillery. Second Di- vision, then stationed on top of Ehrenbreitstein. Colonel McCabe, it seemed, was having eggs twice a day at his mess.
 The Chief of Staff pondered over the report for two days. Then he de- cided upon direct action. He dictated a. military letter.
 Had Col E. R. W. McCabe received special order No. 375649, those head quarters, providing tn American off, cers and soldiers would buy no more eggs from German civilians?
 It took only 24 hours for the reply to come by first endorsement.
 Yes Col. E. R. W. McCabe had re- ceived and noted special order No. 375649, those headquarters, providing that American officers and soldiers would buy no more eggs from Ger man civilians.
 Receipt of this endorsement gave L. T., paused long enough to write a second endorsement.

COAT OF ARMS HAS LOST
 ONE OF EAGLES

Berlin, Feb. 17.-The new German coat of arms adopted by the National Assembly consists of a one-headed eagle, on a yellow-go1d shield, and without the o1d-time crown. The eagle will be displayed in simple heraldic form, without any access sories.
 The Hohenzol1ern coat of arms, and the chain of the order of the Silver Eagle, all parts of the old Prussian coats of arms, have been omitted. The bill of the eagle, the tongue and the talons are in red. Servants of the government are to wear the device without the shield so 1t can be pinned to their uni forms
 Some of the Pan-German papers ridicule it, saying the skinny, home 1y eagle with extended tonst!e" vio- lates all the rules of good taste.
