Contessed to Feeling Il After Smoking. Berlin, April 13.—A young Amer- ican who said he was a student in Munich and that he was caught by the war without sufficient funds, ap- peared at one of the American con- sulates in Switzerland soon after thé beginning of the war and asked for any kind of work that would enable him to save money to get home. He was hired and proved capable, energetic and honest. He was known as “Johmson.” The consul, a genial, generous man, was in the habit of handing out to his clerks and assist- ants as many strong cigars as they would take each day. . “Johnson,” though he made a wry face, always Eventully however, he admitted to a accepted—and smoked—the cigars. friend in the consulate that he had accepted them because he believed he would galn favor with the chief in that way but that they made him ill. He was sent to a hospital, and there the Inevitable revelation came. “Johnson” in reality was a New York woman who, while in Munich, had donned men’s clothes to cross the German frontier. She returned to the consulate but once after having re- covered from the chief’s strong cigars, and then only to resign. Somehow, without a passport, she got into Italy and obtained passage to America on a steamer sailing from Genoa. “Johmson” URGE LOANS IN UNITED STATES. Rome, April 13.—The Popolo Ro- mano and other newspapers urge the Italian treasury to contract new loans in America, not for the money itself, but to be able to pay with it what Italy needs to import from the United States without further in- creasing the exchange rate which has reached 7.80 lire for each dollar, a loss of G2 cents on a dollar. They. observe that the loans of Italy in America are smaller than those of We Invite Inspection. any of the other Entente allies, reach- ‘lng only $50,000,000. SCHEME TO GET SHIPS FAILS. London, April 13.—The scheme for the limitation of freights to France and Italy which was planned to at- tract increased tonnage for the trans- portation of coal from England, has failed to bring into the service the re- quired number of steamers at the fixed rates and in compliance with re- quests from shipbrokers, the authori- ties have agreed to make the plan more elastic. The schedule rates of freights can now be adjusted in order to attract more neutral tonnage, DOCK STRIKE IS AVERTED. Liverpool, April 13.—A government. arbitrator has succeeded in avoiding a strike of dock laborers which threat- ened to impede the progress of the war. The men accepted his award of one shilling a day and one shilling a night, time and a half for holidays, double time for Sundays and an extra two cents an hour for overtime. 1t IS REPORTED FOUND W Fourishing Gy Blore A | andria Was Established Cairo, April 13.—The site of Can- opus ,one of the most ancient cities of Egypt, has been found, according to Daninos Pasha, who claims the honor of making the discvery. For many years he has maintained that its site lay. somewhere in the region of Aboukir Bay and, apparently, his con- tention is now proved to be: correct. Before the foundation of Alexan- dria, Canopus. was the commercial capital of the country and the most important religious center in lower Egypt. Excavations have already brought to light.a great public bath of the Ptolemaic period, about 15 feet in finnh It is divided into - twenty ambers of which the largest is about 24 feet long and of the same width. There are rooms for various forms of baths, such as hip and mud baths and a large hall which was evidently used for massage purposes and the preparation of aromatic oil. Bronze coins found in various rooms bear the efligies of -Ptolemy Soter, Ptolomey Energates and Queen Bere- nice. Of the several statuettes un- earthed, the most interesting is that of a Chinese figure, which shows, it is contended, that in the dim past re- lations. must have existed | between China and this ancient’ capital of. Egypt. ATTEMPT DOUBLE SUICIDE. Nobleman’s Daughter and Chauffeur Are Principals. Tokio, April 13.—Japanese society is stirred by a case of ‘“shinju,” or double suicide, affecting the family of Count Akimasa Yoshikawa, vice presi- dent of the privy council. His daugh- ter,, Mrs. Kwanji Yoshikawa and Rikisuke Kuramochi, her -chauffeur, are alleged to have sought dedth in the path of a railroad train. The chauffeur threw the woman on the tracks, but evidently lacked time to carry out his intention of following her. Instead he drew a short sword, slashed his throat and died a few moments later. Mrs. Yoshikawa was tossed from the rails by the engine. Her condition was pronounced critical. The husband of Mrs. Yoshikawa had been adopted to the Yoshikawa family, becoming the heir to the count. Japan and since the olden days many fanciful love stories have been woven around this Japanese practice. It is extraordinary, however, for a woman of as high birth as Count Yoshikawa’'s daughter to choose to end her life in such a fashion. woman was married and that she sought death with her chauffeur heightens the interests of the affair in Japanese minds. MRS. FRYATT'S PENSION. Britain Decides to Give Captain’s ‘Widow $500 Extra. London, April 13.—The British gov- ernment has decided to grant an ad- ditional pension of $500 a year to Mrs, Fryatt, widow of Captain Fryatt, who was captured by the Germans and shot because they declared he tried to ram submarines while opera- ting his crosschanel steamer between Holland and England. This sum will be given to Mrs, Fryatt in addition to the pension she was entitled to under the government pension scheme. The Great Eastern Railway com- pany, whose steamer Captain Fryatt commanded, has voted to pay the widow for life a sum equal to the skipper’s salary. To further com- memorate his memory the company has decided to endow a “Fryatt memorial wing” to the company’s hos- pital at Harwich. TO LIMIT BEER OUTPUT. London, April 13.—The ' restriction in the output of beer to ten million barrels will make a great difference in the appearance of the Kent hop- flelds this year. The hops required for ten million barrels can be grown on about half tlie land given up to hops last year. Many growers are us- ing their hop fields for food crops, WHAT WEAK WOMEN NEED We Have It in a Remedy Oontaining the Three Oldest and Most Famous Tonics Known. Vinol contains the oldest and most famous tonics known to medicine, viz., beef and cod liver peptones, iron and manganese peptonates and glyc- erophosphates. That is why Vimol is such a won- derful remedy for weak, run-down persons, feeble old people, delicate children, and to restore strength aft- er sickness. Read this testimony. Savannah, Ga. “I was weak, ner- vous, run-down, had no appetite, and could not sleep, I had tried medicines ‘without any benefit, and one day the nurse asked me to try Vinol. I did so and it made me feel like a new wo- man. It has restored my strength and I can do all my own housework. I would not take anything for the good Vinol has done me.” Sarah White. ‘We return money in every such case where Vinol fails to benefit the purchaser.

WHAT OF THE CONVICTS, Ex-Prisoncrs Ineligible for German Army or Navy. Berlin, April 13.—What to do with the ex-convicts who, when sentenced, lost their rights to citizenship and therefore may not belong to the army and fight for the fatherland is a prob- lem that is occupying public attention to an increasing degree. It is estimated that there are in the empire at least 100,000 able-bodied men of military. age, now at liberty after having served prison sentences, whose work for the government in the aggregate would be of tremendous value if a way could be found to utilize them. Yet they cannot be sent to the front in regiments composed of men who have never been guilty of crimi- nal acts, because the soldiers would not tolerate their presence. Nor is it feasible to form special companies, as has occasionally been suggested, for particularly hazardous duty. Such duty is regarded by the average soldier as a special honor which he would be loath to surrender to men branded by imprisonment. Nor is it felt that it would be safe to entrust important posts to men in whom im- plicit confidence cannot be placed. The latest and apparently most welcome suggestion is that the ex- convicts, and even convicts now serving terms, should be formed into | special working bodies, and put at some kind of labor for the military | authorities, whether at the front or at home.
