TUGS AID BRITISH SHIPS
Cruisers Are Supplied With Foodstuffs
From New York.
New York, April 6. —That New:
York is a base of supplies for the
British warships that have been doing!
duty off Sandy Hook has been pretty
well established by Collector Dudley
Field Malone and as a result of long
investigations that he has made it is
probable that some tugboat owners,
captains and others will be indicted
by the federal grand jury and later
have to stand trial.
These tugs, which belong in New
York, Philadelphia and New England,
have been carrying foodstuffs, fresh
vegetables, coal and other supplies
not only from New York but from
other ports and have been loading
them on the cruisers far out at sea.
Through Collector Malone's investi
gation he learned that a remarkable
conspiracy to violate the neutrality
proclamation of the president was irn
operation. A secret service operative
was placed in the lighthouse at Have-j
sink highlands. This man was sup-,'
plied with a very powerful telescope!
with which he has watched the move 1
ments of trgs that have left the hur i
bor very early in the morning and
have sometimes appeared off the
hook about daylight. These tugs have
been seen to go alongside the cruisers
and later to return to the harbor.
Collector Malone himself has done
some sleuthing himself. On several
nights he has gone out on one of the
torpedo boats. The destroyer's power
ful searchlight has been thrown on
all the piers and in the slips and just
how much information the collector
has picked up in this way he does not
say at present, keeping that for the <
grand jury investigation, but he thinks
that he lias found that several tugs
have loade l on tons of supplies and
then his agents will show that those
tugs have carried the supplies out to
sea and transferred them to the
cruisers.
WALL STREET OPTIMISTIC
i
Traders Convinced That War Will
Soon Terminate.
New York, April 6. What Wall
street called an old fashioned bull j
market opening was a feature of the
stock exchange session.
Many stocks jumped violently up
ward and ii was some time before the
heavy selling which came in produced 1
any reactionary affect. The list ap
peared to be governed by a variety of
conflicting influences and cross cur-,
rents in the trading. The result of the
session w r as in the main to produce an
Impression of well sustained resist-:
ance to pressure which found sup-,
port not only in market conditions but
in externa 1 factors of value and in
the growth of the following to which
the upward movement of stocks had
appealed. |<
Many Have Narrow Escape.
Pittsburgh, April 6. —More than a!

WHISTLER'S CLEVERNESS.
The Artist Could Fix In His Mind Any
Effect In Nature
It was Whistler's habit to memorize
an effect in nature, and Mr 1. R. Way
In nis "Memoirs," gives an example of
his cleverness at it
1 shall never forget a lesson he gave
me one evening. We had left the stu
dio when it was quite dusk ami were
walking along the road by the gardens
of the Chelsea hospital, when he [joint
ed to a group of buildings in the dis
tance, an old public house at the cor
ner of the road, with windows and
shops showing golden lights through
tbe gathering mists of twilight
"Look!" lie said.
As he did not seem to have anything
to sketch or make notes on. 1 took out
my uotebook and offered it to bim.
"No. no. be quiet." be said, and after
a long pause be turned and walked
back a few yards; then, witb bis buck
to tbe scene, he said:
"Now, see if I have learned it," and
then be gave a description of tbo
scene, perfect in every detail of ar
rangement and color, as he might have
repeated a poem he had learned by
heart.
Then we wen* on. and soon there
came another picture mat appealed to
me even mora than tbe former, i tried
to call his attention to it. but be would
not look at it.
"No, no," he said; "one thing at a
time."
In a few days I was at tbe studio
again, and there on tbe easel was tbe
picture.
FINALLY SHE BALKED.
It Was a Good Scheme, but She
Thought It Was Going Too Far.
It was an extraordinary notice:
"Eleemosynary Typewriting Institu
tion—Anybody wishing typewriting
done, but having no money to pay for
name, will be accommodated in this
; office between tbe dours of 5 and 10
p. m."
A young woman was tacking tbe
sign on tbe office door when tbe man
In a plaid suit stopped.
"Who is the public benefactor?" be
asked.
"Ale." she said. "1 thought I might
us well advertise and save my employ
ees friends the trouble of bunting roe
up. They always have something for
me to do. Even on days when I am
so busy that 1 bardly have time to
breathe they come in with rolls of
manuscript and ask the manager if 1
have time to copy it Sometimes that
makes the manager squirm.
"'Are you quite busy, AJiss Jones?"
he asks. 'Quite,' 1 say. Then tbe
manager thinks. But be always gives
j in. 'Ob. well.' be says, 'I guess that
isn't very important .lust let it go
and copy this for Mr. .' So I copy
it and Mr. says. Thanks; you are
very kind.' He never thinks of pay
ing. It is tbe easiest way in the
world to get typewriting done. I was
afraid there might be a few men who
had never beard of tbe scheme, so I
have put this sign out for their bene
fit*— New York Post

Odd Happenings
In the War News j
Union workmen in England will havt
no strikes during the war, having
agreed to submit all differences to ur
bitratioH.
More than 700 women willing to take
the places of men workers who art

tered in twenty-four hours in London.
The Chicago postoffice authorities es !
timate that 12,000 pounds of food have

although several times offered promo
tion.
When the Canadians took over a po
sition from an English regiment it was t
found they were too tall for the trench
as, and the ditches had to be remod
eled.
Germans and Belgians are battling
under two small affluents of the Yser
river, in front of Ramscappelle. The
cellars and underground passages of a
battered monastery extend under the
rivers, and the Germans hold the north
era outlet to the subterranean battle
field and the Belgians the opposite exit.
GERMANS USE ROCKETS
TO GET RANGE AT NIGHT.
I
Aerial Illumination Has Been Under
taken With Unusual Success.
Details of a novel and spectacular
kind of night attack by the Germans,
the chief feature of which is an illumi
nation of the whole zone of artillery
fire by a vivid pyrotechnic display,
have been brought into Warsaw b}
Russian soldiers from the Bzura front.
This device is usually employed on
cloudy nights, when the moon and
stars cannot be depended on to reveal
the positions of the Russian guus.
The Germans appear to be relying j
more and more upon this device fo
acquainting themselves with the dispo
sition of the enemy's forces, since, on
account of the protection given bj
Russian aviators, German aeroplanes '
have been unable to fly low enough to
be of much service as scouts. Bat
terles only partly screened by clumps
of trees or placed, with little hope of
effective concealment, behind rocks or |
in natural depressions in the ground 1
apparently have been unnoticed by the i
aerial scotits, who found it advisable in
most cases to keep to an altitude of
t,OOO feet or higher.
The aerial illumination has been un
dertaken with great success. Coming
as a prelude to a heavy bombardment,
it is intended to accomplish the double
aim of revealing the Russian batteries
and dazzling and distracting the ene
my in their efforts lo reply. First a
great number of rockets are set off
and break over the Russian line.
' While the sky is stili glowing with this,
radiance larger and more powerful ex
plosives follow the rockets, bursting
into fiery balls of red and white, which
hang for a moment motionless over th€
Russian positions. In this glare every
gun and gunner, every detail of the i
landscape, shows up as clearly as in >
daylight. Some of the balls of fire fali
upon clumps of trees, and to the
brightness overhead is added the fire
of burning wood-
In a few seconds tbe illumination
fades, and the trenches and batteries
are again in darkness, but In this time
the German gunners have been able to
get their range. After a verification of
the enemy's positions by the use of
powerful searchlights there follow the
crackle of machine guns and the boom- j
Cog of the heavy artillery.

WAR'S END BY OCTOBER
So Thinks James W. Hill, Who Gives
His Reasons.
James W. Hill, who controls the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and
! the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy
railroads and who is director of many
banks and corporations, expressed the
belief that the European war would
end by Oct. 1. in speaking of this
matter he said:
"The successes of one side or the
other will not settle the fight, but
physical, financial and industrial ex
, haustion of the belligerents will end
the war by next autumn."
Mr. Hill has not changed his recent
ly expressed opinion against the prob
ability of a business boom in the near
future. "What is there," he said, "to
change present conditions? Nothing
so far as I can see."
Bigelow's Resignation Accepted.
The resignation of Pennsylvania
State Highway Commissioner E. M.
Bigelow was accepted by Governor
Brumbaugh, but his successor was not
appointed. The man most discussed
for the place is Controller Robert J.
Cunningham of Allegheny county.
Wants Sweet Pea For State Flower.
The third state flower bill made its
appearance in the Pennsylvania house
of representatives. It was introduced
by Representative Brumbaugh of Blair
and designated the sweet pea as the
official state flower.
Blockade Note Received In Paris.
The American note on the blockade
of Germany by the allied powers was
delivered to M. Delcasse, the French
foreign minister in Paris.
