change in the attitude of the French
in the last few days.
Scarcely a single soldier is to be
seen in the streets of Essen, Dortmund
or the other cities" telegraphs the cor
respondent in describing the situation
as seen through German eyes. The
Frgnch troops are being kept in their
5ilets all day and night and apparent
ly are under orders to avoid public gath
cring places such as cafes, restaurants,
main streets AID squares. Even in
their conferences with the German Off
cials they have become much more po-
lite and modest in making demands. But
this does not help them. Although 49,
600 carloads of coal and 5000 carloads
of other products went out of the Ruhr
today, not a single car left in the d.
rection of France or Belgium.
Desperate Struggle Impending.
"But the French have made no at
tempt thus far to seize freight trains
or even to stop them. Within the next
few days this situation in all probabili
ty will have changed. 1t is only ques-
ton of a short time before the French
will try to shut the Ruhr basin off
AAbA AAAN ANst VI wv II AhNs
coed hard times will begin for the Ruhr
population and also for the invaders, for
then the working men will carry out
their threat and call general strike.
The masses will surge out into the
streets and soon the world will know
who will win in this desperate struggle.
80 far theFrench have lost the first
part Of the battle on account of the
moral resistance offered by the West
phalian population. The second part of
the battle begins tomorrow or next day
and then the French will find out that
il is easy to torture one man or even
several men but that they cannot tor
ture 4,000,0 200 people and succeed"
The spirit of ruthless defiance which
characterizes the governments orders to
officials and mine owners in the Ruhr
districts to disobey the FreRch instruc-
tions has now reached the stage of de-

iiberate sabotage. Sitting safely in their
swivel chairs, many long miles away
from the scene of action, the Berlin of
ficials are calmly stirring up feeling
against the French and the triumphant
tone of the reports published in the ma
tionalist newspapers show only too
clearly that the seed sown by the gov
eminent is already bearing fruit.
Promises Pay for Damage.
Full restitution will be made for
every cent of damage suffered as the
result of compliance with official or
ders by owners and employees" reads an
official announcement signed by Chan
ccllor Cuno.
In neutral circles here and even
among the British in Berlin it is
thought that the German government is
going a little too far not only in en-
conraging, bat also in assisting the
population of the newly occupied areas
in open resistance to the French and in
attempting TO harrass thin by sabOt-
nge. 1t is said in diplomatic circles
here that should serious trouble break
out as the result of these tactics. the
German government will be largely TO
blame.
"The worst part of it is" said a
member of the British mission in Ber-
lin today, ais that Germany is spelling
what sympathy vas felt abroad for her
cause by her present policy"
Get Ccal From Sweden.
German industrial concerns have can
cclled all their contracts with the Al
sacc-LorTaine ore industry and signed
n ten-year contract with Swedish mine
owners to fill these contracts. This is
another step in the German plan to at
tain absolute industrial independence so
far as concerns France and Belgium
and to compel these countries TO get ore
and coal from other sources and at
much greater cost.
German industries will suffer from
this boycott of French and Belgian raw
stuffS and products but it is pointed
out that the home industries are not

dependent on imports to such an extent
as are the French and Belgian fac
tories.
Ii will be recalled that not long ago
negotiations were in progress between
the great French and German iron and
steel interests for cooperation on a
large scale. The French however, in
sisted on taking over 60 per cent of the
stock of the German combines. thereby
getting control of the Rhenish-West-
phlain iron and steel industry. The
Germans rejected the French proposals
and conferences were ended abruptly.

No "OId Maids" in Russia.

A Russian girl Of much over TWEEN
ty who is unmarried (unless she Is
nun) feels herself, and is thought to
be, deeply disgraced. In Russia there
are no old maids. Every woman In
Russia marries or pretends to marry,
be she princess or peasant. When a
Russian girl realizes that no one is
coming to WOO her, she leaves home.
The peasant girl goes on pilgrim
age, settles in some distant district
as a widow, or returns home saying
that she married while away, and
that her husband died during the
honeymoon
The young lady goes upon far trav-
els. In year or two her friends
hear that she has married abroad
an Englishman, an Italian, or an
American. A year or two more and
she returns to Russia, an inconsolable
widow. And she Is never asked en-
barrassing questions. For In Russia
nothing is considered in worse form
than to mention a dead man to his
living widow.

FORTUNE BECKONS TO SAILOR
Always In the Minds Of Whalers Is
the Possibility of Find of
Precious Ambergris.

Ambergris is one Of the most valu-
able products of the sea. The mariner
who spies floating on the waves a
grayish mass, fatty in appearance,
will, If he knows what ambergris is,
betray considerable excitement, for
the substance fetches high price.
Capt. James Earle Of New Bedford,
Mass, is said to have been the luckiest
of all shippers in the old whaling
days.
From single sperm whale he real
lied over 100000. 1t was not the 90
barrels of oil which gave the leviathan
its extraordinary value, for that was
sold for something like $4,000; but
within the whales vast interior there
was found a solid piece Of ambergris
weighing 7S0 pounds.
This was the largest single piece of
ambergris ever found, and that 1t
came from one lone whale made the
discovery more interesting to the
scientific world.
This 7SO-pound piece of ambergrls
was sold in chunks in all markets OF
the world for about 100000, and it
laid the foundation of wealth for al
most every man interested In the
whaling expedition.

Civil War CONSUMPTION.

During the Civil war both sides re-
sorted to CONSUMPTION. May 3, 1868,
the Federals passed law calling
every able-bodied citizen of military
age into service. However, many per-
sons were able to buy themselves off
on payment of $500, or by obtaining a
substitute. In July of the same year
the Union called all men between
eighteen and forty-fve into active
service, without provision for exemp-
ton. In February, 1864, the law was
extended to include all between seven
teen and fifty. Unpopularity Of con-
scriptlon caused draft riots in New
York and other places.
The first Confederate conscription
law of April, 1862 annulled all con-
tracts for volunteers for short terms,
holding them for two years, and made
every white male between eighteen
and twenty-five liable to service at a
moments notice. In September, 1862,
the law was extended to all men be-
tween eighteen and forty-fve.

ANClEMTS HAD DRUG STORES
Principal Studies Of Psychologists,
However, Were Confined to Find
Ing Antldotes to Poisons.

The earliest pharmacopeia, or cOllee-
ton Of formulas, showing evidence Of
supervision over drugs, Is Sanscrit
work. A Roman one was written In
AZ A. D., and the next was an Arabian
work written in 900 A. d. In Naples
an academy was founded in the Elev-
enth century. and Salerno had one in
the Seventh century. Through the in
f1uence Of these schools drug stores,
called "stationares," were established
throughout Italy
Antidotes and disinfectants, classed
with the opiates, were the main rene
dies in the time Of Cordus. The prin-
cipal representatives Of those were
the two electuaries, "Therias" and
"Mithridat." Mithridat was COM
pound invented by Mithrldas Equator,
king Of Pontus, who lived in constant
fear Of poison and studied toxicology
by testing poisons on criminals and
taking their antidotes himself every
day.
His system became so accustomed
to poisons that when, on the day of
his defeat by Pompey, he attempted to
poison himself, the poison failed and
he ordered one Of his soldiers to kill
him. Pompey found the recipe, and
1t was improved upon by Damocrates,
the physician Of Nero, until 1t con-
tanned IS ingredients.

A mirror is one of the toys which
monkeys delight to play with. All
animals can see reflection in a
glass, if it is held In the right posi-
ton, that is, at an angle at which
their eyes can focus upon it. Even
then, however, it may not recognize
the image. The reflection has, it is
true, form, but 1t lacks other charac-
teristics, such as smell, and many
beasts will turn away bored from
what looks something like an animal,
but obviously isn't. On the other
hand, another animal will recognize
the image as one of it's kind, and will
exhibit every symptom of curiosity,
fear, or hate. But In no case does
the animal appear to recognize the
reflection as that of itself.

Life had been extinct some time.
Mrs. Blance was a woman of sterling

character and disposition, true
friend and neighbor, and one who

though she had reached fourscore
years, she was young in spirit,
thoughtful in the interests of others,

many friends. Mr.. Blance died three
