Strange Hotel.

What is probably the queerest hotel
and restaurant In the world is that
recently erected at Atlantic City, N.
j. 1t takes the form of a monster
elephant Seen from a distance the
resemblance of the structure to a live
elephant is remarkable. As you ap-
proach it Its huge size becomes appar-
ent, but you quickly observe that it
is only thing of wood and iron. but
most cleverly contrived. II boasts of
many beds. and a dining pavilion on
the animals back capable of accom-
modating two hundred people. One
reaches this novel restaurant by
means of a staircase which runs up
through the animals legs and body.
Here and there windows give the nee
essary light Needless to say the
elephant hotel Is causing quite an at
traction, and its owner bids fair TO
reap a good harvest as a result OF
his ingenuity.

MODERN FICTION

We were thrilled July fourth 1917 by
a reported victory Of our naval vessels
over lot OF German submarines which
had attacked a fleet OF our transports
of the coast Of France. A few days
later we were again thrilled by a con-
fession made by SECRETARY OF the Navy
Josephus Daniels 20 the effect that he
and George Creel had manufactured
that naval victory in Washington as
pure fiction because they thought the
public needed some sort Of tonic TO
arouse their spirits
Later in the WAR We were thrilled
again 10 learn that Josephus was
awarding medals to naval commanders
who heroically lost their ships on the
same basis as he did to those who won
victories. II later transpired that a
brother-in-law to Josephus had lost
his ship and needed a medal. so the
above ruling was made.
Al the present time a series Of syn
dictated articles on Our Navy in the
War from the pen Of the same jose

reading public is wondering where the
line between fact and fiction is 10 be
