Stamp Profiteerinu Slow.

The lowest Lilliputans in the whole
hierarchy of international finance are
probably the stamp peddlers. There
is hardly a person who was born on
the other side who is not dabbling In
some angle of foreign exchange, but
the stamp men seem willing to oper-
ate on the most fractional margin Of
profit. Up and down the market
streets of the Italian sections they go
every Saturday night, displaying
stamps that were made in Italy. They
offer them to shoppers, generally fol-

Value of Libraries.

Women can do a great deal to raise

town, however small, shall maintain
a public library. 1t is discreditablt

PRESIDENT BELIEVES CONGRESS
SHOULD INVEST IN HIM POWER
TOTAKE OVER ROADS and MINES
READY FoR HEB BURIAL

Portsbouth, Va, Aug. 29.-
Ready for her burial so fathoms
deep, beneath the waves of the
Atlantic, U-111, former German
submarine cruiser, credited with
having sent to the bottom at least
ten good ships in her time, will
leave the navy yard here tomor-
row in tow for the open sea to
find there sepuIchre.
The vessel has been in drydock
since her arrival at the yard ten
days ago after having been SAL
Vaeed in LynnhaVen Roads. She
sank there more than a year ago
while being towed to the southern
drill grounds to be used and sunk
in bomb attack by airplanes.
1t was necessary ;bter she had
been rescued from LynnhaVen and
fIoated to the navy yard on pom
toons, to make her sufficiently sea-
worthy for her final trip to sea,
and therefore she was docked.
Before the dock coVd be pumped
dry she reverted to her former
tactics and sank again. This time
it didn't matter.
The spot for her interment will
be somewhere 20 or 80 miles out
from the Virginia Capes where
the water is of sufficient depth to
insure her decent riddance.
"She will have aboue so fathoms
over her, which is 800 feet, and
that think" navy yard officer
said yesterday, ais plenty to in
sure her peaceful and permanent
extinction. There will be, no toss
ing shells into the hulk as means
of sending her to the bottom,
nothing pompous in her exit from
the naval drama. The idea of
shooting her up has been aban-
doned. Her wales will be opened,
letting in the sea and a bosen's
whistle piping all hands over the
side will be her dirge."
