(Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.) London, March 8.—The appointment of an organist to St- Paul's Cathedral to succeed Sir George Martin, who has just died, will be a matter of great interest in the musical world. The organ is the largest in the world, and the position of organist is regarded as the highest musical post in the Brit- ish Empire. The organ, with its five banks of keys, was originally built by Father Bernard Schmidt, a celebrated Ger- | man organ-builder, between the years | 1624 and 1650. Father Schmidt re- ceived $10,000 for his work, which at the value of money in these days, was considered very liberal, especially as Schmidt was responsible merely for the “inside work.” The case was sup- plied by an English workman for $1,700, and the carving of the case th far more than during con- was the work of another artist for Your linsurance rate and protection be permanently weatherproof and practically repair-proof.

GAMBLERS IMPATIENT- {(Correspondence of (ne associated Fress.) Paris, March 1.—All the known gambling houses in Paris were closed at the outset of the war, but the pro- longation of hostilities has proven too much for the sporting people, and an occasional clandestine resort is now found. One was raided the other evening in the Rue Chateaudun where nineteen women and four men were found around gambling tables, all of them foreigners. In certain quarters of Montmarte and in the Latin quar- ter it is also possible to overlap the regulations of martial law regarding the sale of wines and liquors after the hour of half past ten. result of the long tension upon peo- ple habituated to pleasures of a more or less disorderly character is the growth of petty gambling—now taking larger proportions—in the cafes of Montmarte and the Latin quarter. but in at is also played. many places hacc Native eggs 29c doz.

Amsterdam, March 28.—“One who was in it” contributes to the Berlin Morgen Post an article describing the achievements of the German sub- marines in the first year of the war Referring to one incident to illustrate he sa “One single U-boat has a complished the record feat of sinking no fewer than sixty-nine merchant ships, with an aggregate displacement of 132,170 tons. This boat, which obviously was especially favored by war luck, succeeded in the course of one expedition in sinking twenty-seven ships with an aggregate of 74,204 tons—a tonnage which exceeds that sunk by the Emden in the course of several months.’ CIGARS ARE A LUXURY. (Correspondence of The Assoclatcd Press.) Hamburg, Germany, March 23 Manufacturers and retailers have in- creased the price of cigars because of the further rise in Dutch exchange. The cigar that formerly retailed for fifteen pfennigs, is sold today for six- teen, and on the more expensive grades the advance is greater. The German tobacco market, of which Hamburg is the center, had lurge sup- plies of tobacco on hand when the war began but these were used up about a year ago and since then Ger- many has been obliged to depend chiefly upon such tobacco as came in from Holland. In addition to the in- crease caused by the rise in Dutch exchange, there may be still further advances because there is talk of a higher tax upon tobacco in all forms.

A colony for the workers was erected in a long series of wooden huts each containing some twenty-eight two- bedded rooms.

As soon as these plans had been approved the firm had one of the women's organiza- tions take up the responsibilities for them in behalf of the girls emploved.
