GIVE BURIAL DOLE
Odd Custom Which Has Long
Prevailed in Wales.
Attendants ut Funeral Toss Silver
Coins on Table for Benefit OF
Family Of Deceased.

One Of the oldest customs, dating
back to the time Of the early Chris
tlans, of giving doles or offerings at
funerals, still survives In North Wales,
according to a Welshman writing in
the London Daily Mail.
On the day Of the interment the
family assemble in the best kitchen"
and seat themselves around large
table on which has been placed a
spotless white linen cloth. The min.
Lster occupies the place Of honor, and
next to him are the relatives, in order
of kinship with the deceased.
Outside are gathered the friends
and neighbors. 1t is a remarkable
sight to see so many men who have
given up half days work (and payl
to be present.
At given signal from the minister
the waiting mourners file in, and as
they pass around the table each one
drops a silver coin on the white cloth
as q token of sympathy.
An awed silence fills the room,
broken only by the subdued sobbing
of the bereaved, the clnk of a coin,
or the muffed shuffling of feet. 1t ls
solemn, significant ceremony, re-
calling the time when death was re-
garded as a monster to be feared. In
fact, originally the offering was made
ito procure rest for the soul of the
deceased, that he might find his judge
propitiOus."
Welsh hymn singing Is heard at Its
best at funeral. There the emo
honal temperament of the Celt finds
full scope for expression, and the
solemnity Of the occasion helps to
tune the mournful Tyre to Its sweetest
strains.
Soon the service Is over and loud
chatter replaces the strained silence.
Discussion Of crops, work, the latest
scandal, and other funerals is now
general.
The Welsh peasant regards a fu.
neral as a holiday. Whether he knew
the deceased or not. If some one dies
In his village he will attend the burial.
One old man showed me with pride
list Of about a thousand funerals at
which he had been present.
Strange to say, If the funeral is
private" one-that Is, without the Of
fering-very few people attend It.
1t is helpful CUSTOM especially In
remote villages where work is hard
and money scarce, and the little sum
given by sympathetic nelghbors often
pays for the mourning expenses.
At one time the dole consisted Of
little rolls of bread, and later Of
pence and halfpence, which were
given to the poorest inhabitant in the
village. Today In North Wales silver
is always given, and the Offering Is
kept by the family.
In the town and seaside resorts the
custom is dying out, but in the villages
on the hillsides 1t still flourishes.

A large proportion of the apples sup
piled to the English market come from
the Canadian fruit districts Of 0nta-
rio. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island, where the har-
vest of Baldwins. Kings. Newton Pip
pins, Spies, McIntoshes and Russets
this season is unusually heavy. With
the exception of Maine, however,
where there has been phenomenally
large yield, the New England apple
crop has been light.
The western apples, such as Wine
sap, Oregon Pippin, Spitzenberg and
Delicious, figure conspicuously In Brit
ish fruit shops, the Winesap, like the
lNewtown Pippin, having won the APP
prevail Of royalty. When King George.
as prince of Wales, visited Canada
about twenty years ago he was so
much impressed by this apple that he
ordered case of Winesaps to be sent
to Marlborough house every season,
direct from the Northwest.

However, they are valued according TO

head OF cattle, whereas the smaller

be purchased for goat, whereas a
light complexioned woman is very
costly. Prince Hosanna has nine

GERMANY TOBUILD
ZEPPELIN FOR j. S.
SEVENTY THousANp-METER AIR.
SHIP CONTRACTED FOR AFTER
LONG NEGOTIATIONS.
"DIPLOMATIC VICTORY"
Allies, After Numerous Notes, Permit
Germans to Accept the Contract.
May Take . Year For Com
pIetlon Of Big ship.

Paris.-The council of ambassadors
has granted permission to the United
States to contract for the construction
at Friedrichshafen, Germany, of Yep
pelin of the L70 type. This decision
marks the end OF diplomatic negotia-
tions which have preceded between the
allied powers and the United States
since July last.
The application for the construction
OF Zeppelin grew out of the destruc-
ton in Germany of five of the big
dirigibles, one Of which had been al
lotted to the United States, during the
peace conference.
The United States based It's applica-
ton on the grounds that it was en-
titled to an airship under Germany's
PREPARATIONS agreement. The council OF
ambassadors referred the matter to the
principal allied powers, and several
notes are said to have been exchanged.
Washington.-Au by the
allied council Of ambassadors for the
construction by Germany Of a Zeppelin
Of the L70 type for the United States
was regarded in official circles here
as a distinct triumph for American d.
plomacy.
By virtue of that authorization Ger
many is permitted to 60 behind the
terms OF the protocol signed in Paris
last June 30, which limited the size
Of airships she might build to 10000
cubic meters capacity. The airship
which Germany will build for the Unit
ed States is to be OF 10000 cubic me-
tiers capacity and there had developed
amond allied governments decided
opposition to establishing precedent
by permitting Germany to go behind
the terms Of any treaty or agreement.
The opposition of the European gov
ernments was overcome by repeated
representations by Ambassador Her
rick that this country would not use
the new airship for military purposes
and that America was entitled to COM
pensation In kind for the Zeppelin
awarded this government and later de-
stroyed by Germany. Those represen-
tations were made Immediately after
the signing of the protocol and were
renewed until the allied governments
were assured of the justice Of Ameri-
cas- claims and the good faith of the
United States government in engaging
that the new airships would not be
used for military purposes.
The completed airship will be deliv-
cred to the United States in Germany
without the expenditure OF a single
penny by this government, 1t was
stated. and then will be flown across
the Atlantic by crew of navy depart
ment aeronauts. Construction of the
airship will be under the direction of a
staff Of American navy experts, the
personnel OF which has not yet been
announced.

BREAKS
LONG SILENCE
PROTESTS INNOCENCE OF WAR
MAKING IN LETTER GIVEN
TO THE PUBLIC.
NOTE TO HINDENBURG
Wilhelm, for First Time, Claims Ger
many Has Opened Archives, But
Says Allies Have Not Taken
Similar Action.

Berlin.-I am able to give out doc
ument which may become one of the
important historical records connected
with the world war.
1t is the ex-kaisers own defense to
the charge that he and Germany were
responsible for the greatest conflict
in the worlds history.
In the dark hours just before the
break of dawn, the former kaiser
crossed into Holland, That was in No
vember 1918. Today he has broken
the silence of three years.
There havee been alleged Inter.
views" by persons who claim to have
talked with the kaiser. There have
been quotations direct and indirect,
but the authenticity of none of these
has withstood close scrutiny. All in
fact have been denied officially.
The ex-kaiser has yielded to the
pressure that he say something. And
then in the darkest hour, with the EN-.
press near death, he sat down and
wrote letter to Hindenburg in an.
swer to one his former field marshal
had written him.
1t is that letter and the one linden.
burg wrote that am able to give out.
In making public the letters the field
marshal assumes all responsibility.
In his letter to the ex.kaiser linden.
burg asked Wilhelm to make public
the historical tables" which the form.
er emperor had compiled as defense.
The reply of Wilhelm to Hindenburs
follows:
Doom, Holland, April s.
MY Dear Field Marshal.
1T is very hard to live outside my
country, | watch with glowing soul,
however, the trials of my dear father
land. My decision to leave Germany
was a difficult and terrible one, and
| did It only on the urgent advice OF
yourself and other advisers, who told
me that this was the only way to give
our people more favorable armistice
terms, and save Germany from bloody
civil war. But my sacrifice has been
in vain.
Il recognize no moral Judge, how
ever high, since to do so would sacri.
flee the honor and dignity of the Ger
man nation. 1t is beneath my dignity
to answer the lies, ISLANDERS and calum-
MES charging me with guilt for war.
The truth will break through like an
avalanche. God is my Judge that
wanted peace. The sacrifice is too big
for me, but refuse to be tried by a
league of my enemies.
1T was in conformity with my atti
tude of aloofness that | preserved the
strictest abjectivity in regard to tbs
historical tables you mention. | am
completely at loss to explain how
they found their way into the press
Was it indiscretion or theft?'
