The overzeal ousness of an American,naval censor blighted the romance of Captain Boy- Ed, recalled naval attache to the Im perial German Embassy at Washing ton and Miss Virginia Mackay-Smith, of that city, daughter of the late Bishop Alexander Mackay-Smith, of Philadelphia. Their engagement was first reported a year before the war. Immediately after the captain had obtained Miss Mackey-Smith's affirma tive answer, he filed, through Ambas sador Bernstorff, the customary re quest for the Kaiser's permission, an iron-clad tradition in ' the German army and navy.

Confident that the Imperial answer would be prompt and affirmative. Cap tain Boy-Ed and his bride-to-be be gan planning. It is said that even the date was set. Meanwhile there devel oped the series of "plot" sensations involving the German naval attache and his conferee. Captain Von Papen, and culminating in the demand by the American government for their recall. The captain waited vainly for the ex pected word from the Kaiser. In stead, last December, came official word from Berlin that the Kaiser had complied with the American request for recall of the two attaches. Arriving in Berlin, Boy-Ed was greeted by a host of friends, delighted to see him but expressing great sur prise in questioning him: "But where is the bride?" The mortified captain had only one answer: "His Majesty ignored my re quest for his permission." Then at last he learned what had happened. The Kaiser, he was informed, had complied with the request, and a wire less dispatch was sent to the captain. It developed that the American naval officer acting as censor at the wireless station, regarded with the utmost sus picion this message. So he promptlv suppressed it, and Captain Boy-Ed and his bride-to-be never heard of it. Champion Melon Eater Is Training For Next Season Berkeley, Cal.. Nov. 3. Thomas S.

Iddings, Sioux Ctty police court judge: "There's no house big enough to shelter two families. "Too much mother-in-law is not a good thing for young couples. "Too much father-in-law has the same effect. "A wife should Jeave her husband to visit relatives at least two weeks every year. On her return she appre ciates him better.

The mystery that has for years sur rounded the haunted house on the hill b:ick of here has been solved as a lesull of Green Simkins, a Logan county miner, his wife and his six children moving into the house. Peculiar noises have emanated from the building at night, and for months weird stories have been told of the wraiths holding high carnival there. Simkins, a stranger, didn't know the house was "haunted." Mrs. Simkins had occupied the place only a short time when the mysterious sound ter rified her. She took a gun and wefit upstairs, where she found the cause of the noise In the maneuvers of a dozen black snakes that had taken charge of that part of the building. She was so frightened she dropped the gun and M- reamed for help. Two men passing killed the snakes. nVSIKESS AXIOMS There are certain general experiences which must be borne in inind— a.

HOW GOSSIP MAKES SCANDAL Beatrice Fairfax Points Out Wrongs of "Knocking" on Fellows By BEATRICE FAIRFAX The critical faculty is one in which no human being is lacking. No mut ter how lowly the station of an in dividual or how under-developed his mentality, he tind.s someone to look down upon and criticise. It seems a foregone conclusion that everyone in the world of to-day Is going to "knock" just about everyone else. "How could she do this?" "How dare he do that?" "How under the sun could they be guilty of such conduct?" such comments fairly liy whenever two are gathered together. Human beings confess readilj; enough that they like a harmless bit of gos sip. and fail utterly to realize that "harmless bit of gossip" grows in <he telling and assumes the proportions of a harmful bit of scandal. "With every breath a reputation dies." Hideously true! We have often discussed in the little circle of ours the evils of gossip its unfair ness to others, its cruelty to its ob jects. But now it is worth while to consider its greater harmfuiness which is subjective. None of us can be sure what we would do were we in the position in which some one else is placed. The old story of John Bunyan and the criminal who was going to be hanged applies all through life. Said he: "There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bunyan." And there, but for the grace of God, goes any one of us In any set of circumstances, however unimaginable, or contemptible, or painful. How is any one of us to know what we would have done in cir cumstances which tempted some one else to wrong-doing or even to his undoing? Any one who has a poor heredity, who is brought lip in a bad environ ment, who has the handicap of physical ill-health to swing his mentality from the healthful, and who meets the particular set of temptations best calculated to break down his own set oti defenses, is pathetically likely to yield to temptation. To one of us money Is the temp tation that is practically irresistible. Hasn't each of us heard some sturd ily honest individual say to a bank cashier or to the handler of money in any large concern, "I wouldn't want to be In your place. Doesn't handling all that money every day drive you almost mad with the longing to have it for your own?" Now, probably, the particular in dividual who was advanced to that position is there pretty largely be cause he is an individual of com mercial honesty. Most absconding treasurers and cashiers run away, not because they have yielded to the temptation directly due to their tnoney responsibility, but because of some outside influence the races, cards, drink or even an il licit love affair. And probably an Individual who meant to be honest and who thought he was honest yielded to just the particular temptation an inherited and culti vated tendency toward a certain sort of weakness made too big for his power of resistance., Cultivating strong inhibition and strong power over ourselves is likely to help any one of us to re sist temptation. But not all of us know this. Not all of us train our selves early in life to resist our own weaknesses. The self-indulgent boy whose parents let him have his own way and who makes everybody else let him have his own way is train ing himself for a manhood in which he will want something to which he has no right, but which his own desperate desires to have what he wants when he wants it will make him the victim. How can any of us know what set of circumstances makes one man a thief and another an honored citi zen? The thing for us to do is to get at the foundations, help raise i standards of honesty and virtue, help make other rewards possible for virtue than merely virtue it self. What we need is to get at causes of crime. So at once we eliminate to an even greater extent our own cruel tendency to Judge it. And that swing* us back full cir cle to the magnificent summing up of it all which each of us may find in the Book of Books: "Judge not, that ye be not judged." KOOTBAM, TAUGHT THIS YOUTH HOW TO DUCK LIFE There is a story called "Broken Bibs" in the November American Magazine in which the one who tells the facts says: "Whenever I think of the fir£t three or four years of Burr's married life, the same surging pride rushes through mv veins as when I watched him, from the grandstand of cheering people that November day long ago, scramble out from beneath the pile of some dozen human beings and start out on that record run of his. Five, ten, fifteen, twenty yards 'would he slip by them all?), twenty-five . . . thirty . . . almost half way across that field, and fall with a thud, finally tackled square ly around hi* waist, five yards from the goal post! With a broken rib, too, we learned later! "It seemed to me, durins: Burr's struggle for Elsie's health and happi ness, that ho was nutting up as grim and Invincible h fight as in that game of his years ago on the gridiron.

Market Street Largest Victor Record Library In the City Ask to Hear Our Choice of the November Records REVIEWS WILSON'S POLICY /IS SERIES OF SHIFTS President's Changes of Mind in Submarine Policy Cited; Americans Still in Peril Washington, Nov. S.—Ono hundred and fifty men, women, and children were killed by German and Austrian submarines while President Wilson, during a period of fifteen months, os cillated from a policy of holding the central powers to "strict accountabil ity" to a policy of warning Americans to shunt merchantmen of belligerent nationality, and then back again. Despite the President's threat to sever diplomatic relations with Ber lin last April, the menace to the safety of Americans on the high seas con tinue, to the alarm of the administra tion and of the Democratic managers who have devoted fourteen pages of their campaign textbook to description of Mr. Wilson's "great diplomatic triumph" over Germany. Official advices to the State depart ment, carefully suppressed from the public, disclose that the torpedoing of merchantmen has continued with steadily increasing activity ever since the President dispatched his ultima tum to Berlin, and Germany agreed to modify its submarine warfare, pending a demonstration of Mr. Wil son's ability to force Great Britain to lift the blockade. Americans Still Imperiled Only within the last week American consuls have reported that two Ameri cans were on the Strathtay, torpedoed by a German submarine. Although no lives were lost, this incident, together with the discussion of the question in the reichstag, arouses the fear among administration officials that Germany is .about to resume ruthless submarine warfare. Likewise, unknown to the public, a serious situation is developing in the relations of the United States and Aus tria. Last June Mr. Wilson called upon Vienna to apologize for the shelling of the American steamship Pctrolite, and the wounding of several members of the crew by an Austrian submarine, nearly a year ago. Aus tria refused to apologize, in notes suppressed by the State department, and the administration now iJi hag gling with Vienna over this question of national honor. Throughout the controversy the cen tral powers have yielded in each in stance just enough to prevent the President at the time from breaking diplomatic relations. The Democratic managers contend that the President's "ultimatum was effective." They fail to explain, how ever, why the solemn threat to sever diplomatic realtlons would not have been as potent as In April, 1916, had it been made by the President in Feb ruary, 1915, when Germany announc ed its intentions, or even in April, 19' 5, after the first American had been killed, on the torpedoed Falaba, but before 114 American perished on the Lusltanla. Mr. Wilson ignored the deaths of Americans on the Falaba and Gulf light till after the liUsltanla tragedy and then acted only after proclaiming his conviction that there is such a thing as being "too proud to fight." Refusing to put the country in a state of adequate defense and shifting his attitude on the rights of Americans on the high seas, he succeeded for fifteen months only in convincing Germany that, he did not mean what he said. The vagarious course pursued by the President in the interminable subma rine controversy with the central pow ers is set forth graphically in the fol lowing chronology: 1015 February 4 Germany proclaims submarine warfare on merchantmen. February 10 Wilson says he will hold Germany to "strict accountabil ity," and do all necessary to "safe guard American lives and property." February 16 Germany refuses to bo deterred. February 20 Wilson asks Ger many and England to abandon illegal warfare by agreement; Germany ac cepts, England rejects conditions. . March 28 British steamer Falaba sunk by German submarine; 100 lives lost, Including one American. April 6 Germany expresses regret for killing of American on Falaba while Wilson ignores incident. April 28 American steamer Cush ing attacked by German aeroplane, while Wilson continues silent on Fal aba. May 1 American steamer Gulf light disabled by German submarine, at cost of three American lives, while Wilson continues silent on Falaba. May 7 British liner Lusitania sunk by German submarine: 1,250 passengers, including 114 Americans, perish; Wilson still silent on killing of Americans on the Falaba and Gulf light. May 10 Wilson speaking in Phila delphia says there is such a thing as being "too proud to flght." May 11—Wilson amid storm of dis approval of "to proud to flght" speech says he was not referring to Lusitania tragedy. May 18 Wilson sends note to Ger many asking satisfaction for the kill ing of Americans on the Lusitania, Falaba and Gulflight and saying that he will not "omit any word or any act" to safeguard American rights on the high seas. May 17 —Secretary of State Bryan confers with Austrian Ambassador Dumba, who immediately reports to central powers that administration will not back up Lusitania note. May 25 American steamer Ne braskan torpedoed by Gorman subma rine; crew and ship saved. May 28 Germany expresses regret for killing Americans, but contends Lusitania was auxiliary cruiser carry ing soldiers and ammunition. June 1 Germany offers reparation for Gulflight deaths. June 2 German ambassador ob tains consent of Wilson to delav pend ing dispatch of Dr Meyer Gerhard to Berlin. June B—Secretary Bryan, fearing war with Germany, resigns. June 9 Wilson, In note greatly moderated In tone following Bryan's war alarm, urges Germany to "safe guard Americans in its submarine war zone. June 28 British merchantman Armenian sheyed In flight by German submarine; ten Americans killed aTter surrender of ship; incident ignored by Wilson. July 9 British steamer Orduna, carrying American passengers, assail ed without warning, hit effectually by German submarine. July 21 Wilson informs Germany that further disregard of neutral rights will be deemed by the United States "deliberately unfriendly." July 25 American merchantman Leeianaw torpedoed and sunk by Ger man submarine after crew debarks in lifeboats. August 18 Von Bernstorff assures Lansing torpedoing of passenger ships will cease. August 19 British liner Arabic torpedoed and sunk without warning; twenty passengers, including two Am ericans, killed. September 1 Germany promises to sink no more liners without warn ing and safeguarding lives of passen gers. September 7 Germany says Ara bic intended to ram submarine. September 9 Germany says at tempt to torpedo Orduna was a mis take. October 5 Germany disavows act of submarine commander In sinking Arabic and agrees to pay reparation. November 7 ltalian liner Ancona torpedoed and sunk by Austrian sub marine with loss of eleven American lives. December 6 Wilson, in brusque note, demands satisfaction by Aus tria. December 15 Austria disputes American version of Ancona attack, and absolves submarine commander from blame. December 19 Wilson In rejoinder strikingly softened in tone expresses hope that Austria will comply with his demands December 29 Austria replies thav it has punished the submarine com mander and will pay an indemnity. December 30 British liner Persia sunk in Mediterranean, supposedly by si submarine; United States Consul killed. 1916 January 7 Von Bernstorff ex plains that German submarine com manders have orders to sink no ships without warning in Mediterranean but that such orders apply only to passen ger liners in British isles war zone. January 18 Secretary Lansing; with approval of President, to allies that merchantmen be bited from carrying defensive arma ment and announces that United States is on point of treating any mer chantman armed, even defensively, as a warship. February 10 Germany, taking ad vantage of this attitude of United Slates, announces that after March 1 it will sink, without warning, all mer chantmen carrying guns. February 15 Elihu Root, in Re publican keynote speech, excoriates Wilson submarine policy. February 16 Wilson repudiate# his position on armed ships announced January 18, and declines to settle Lusi tania case until Germany calls off proclaimed new submarine warfare. February 21 Senators Stone and Kern and Representative Flood inform Wilson of anxiety of Congress concern ing consequences of his shifts of atti tude on armed ships. February 24—Wilson writes Stone that Germany has no right to treat armed merchantmen as warships. February 25 Wilson orders that no action be taken on resolutions in Congress to warn Americans from traveling on armed ships. February 29 Wilson demands ac tion on warning resolutions. March 3 Senate tables Gore reso lution warning Amerirtins off armed ships, and declaring that the sinking of armed ships resulting in the death of Americans, would be cause for war. March 7 House tables McLemoro warning resolution. Sussex Is Torpedoed March 24—British passenger steam er Sussex torpedoed; several Ameri cana injured. March 25 British merchantmen Manchester Engineer, Eagle Point, Englishman and Berwindvale sunk by German submarines; crows, including Americans, saved. April 10 Germany expresses doubt that Sussex was ship sunk by German submarine at same time and place. April 19—Wilson sends note to Ger many threatening to break diplomatic relations unless submarine warfare be reformed or abundoned; informs Con gress of step. May 5 Germany admits German submarine torpedoed Sussex; says commander has been punished; agrees to suspend illegal submarine warfare, threatening to resume if Wilson fail* to coerce England into lifting block ado. . May 8 Wilson accepts German re ply, taking exception to contingency threat. Juno 21 Wilson "requests that a apology by made" by Austria in case of the Petrolite. After the acceptance of the German reply in the Sussex case President Wil son caused Secretary I Jin sing to in quire of the Berlin government in what -manner the submarine comman der was punished. Germany declined to give the Information although tho request was repeated and the adminis tration finally dropped the matter.- Arthur Sears Henning in Philadelphia North American. ■ * HOT TEA BREAKS j A COLD—TRY THIS Get a small package of Hamburg Breast Tea, or as tho German folks call it, "Hamburger Brust Thee," at any pharmacy.
