L
ASKED
OF
CAPT. BOY -ED
Washington Also Demands That
Captain Von Papen Be
Supplanted.
A despatch from Washington says:
Demand has been rade by the United
States upon Germany for the imme-
diate recall of Captains Boy Ed and
von Papen, the naval and military
attaches, respectively, of the German
Embassy here,
Announcement to this effect was
made by Secretary Lansing in the
following statement:
"On account t of what this Govern-
ment considers their improper activi-
ties in military and naval matter's,
this Government has requested the
immediate recall of Captain Boy -Ed
and Captain von Papen, as they are,
no longer acceptable to this Govern-
ment."
The action of this Government
against the German attaches is due
to no single incident in either case,
but was
based on
an accumulation of
improper activities connected with
the handling of German military and
naval matters in this country. The
connection of at least one of the at-
taches with the plot on the part of
certain German interests to set Hner-
ta lap again in Mexico as a means of
embarrassing ra '
sem•

g Government
fig-
ured more than any other single inci-
dent in the determination to adopt a
drastic course towards these represen-
tatives of the German Government.
Reason l'or Grief.
"Why do ye look so sorrowful,
Dennis?" asked one maul of another.
"I just hear -red wan man call an-
other a liar, and the man that was
called a liar' said the other man
would have to apologize, or there
would be a fight."
"And why should that make you
look so sad?"
"The outer man apologized!" '
"Hard cash" is so called in opposi-
tion to soft, or paper, mono.

years before the birth of Christ by
Julius Caesar. The words are worth

horrible butchery followed, and for
three days the town was given up to

contained 34,000 inhabitants, After
the butchery, it is said, that only 400
men, women, or children survived.
Then turn to Brussels. What other

In
Europe Can show such a
troublous record? The French be-
sieged it in 1695. In 1700 it opened
its gates to Marlborough. Forty
years later it was again besieged by
the French under Marshal Saxe, and,
after a siege of three weeks, was
obliged to surrender. After many

DOUBLE•ENbEIj LOCOMOTIVES.
Employed for War Purposes by the
French Govern:neut.
One hundred narrow-gauge locomo-
tives of the Pechot type, each mount-
ed on two bogies and provided with
double-barrelled boilers and two fire
boxes, were recently made in_A.merica
for the use of the French Govern-
ment. Although these engines are of
a design entirely foreign and were
constructed according to metric mea-
surements, they were'built and the
last one shipped seven weeks after the
order
was receivd.
Because of its great flexibility, which
allows its use on narrow, uneven lines
where sharp curves are frequent, this
engine is being employee} by the
French, particularly in drawing' its
munition trains over hurriedly built
lines leading to its War camps. The
engine is not double -ended only in ap-
pearance but is built much the'same

motives $N'Cr joined. outs

an article by a special correspondent

-
two
feats
which sent a grin around the the seamanship
and helped to nerve the sailors for
the continual strain of watching. The
correspondent writes:
"Many of our tars will recall one
such incident which involved quite a
feat of seamanship. It occurred out
on the North Sea, and possibly a little
west of the Long Forties. Just above
twelve months have ,gone since the
affair, but it still raises a smile in cer-
tain quarters. A fast, light cruiser of
our navy on a very Chill morning, af-
ter a calm, cold night, sighted a cat• -
go vessel under a neutral flag and
came to regard her with some snspi-

"The feat of seamanship involved in
laying the cruiser alongside her guar.

occasion of the fight at racing speed
between our battle cruisers and those

A PRINCE'S CIIILLY DIP.
Sprang Into the Sea on a Bitterly
Cold Day.
Prince Henry of Prussia is an ar-
dent sailor, says Pearson's Weekly,
but he is known among the blue-
jackets as a great martinet, and they
fear rather than love him. The fol-
lowing story -is
typical yp ca} of his methods,
and shows that, although he expects
those under his command to put up
with all kinds of hardships, he is by
no meads above "roughing it" him-
self. ,
One day, when he was on board a
warship in the North Sea, he suddenly
gave the order, "All hands to bathe!"
It was a• bitterly cold day and tho
water was like ice, The order was so
evidently distasteful that one of the
officers ventured to make a mild pro-
test" to the prince. Without answer-
ing him a single word, Prince Henry,
although fully clothed, sprang over
the vessel's side, swans out a good dis-
tance in the icy water, and returned
to the deck dripping• from hea(] to
:foot.
Heartless Men.
"Some Wren have no hearts," said
the tramp. "I've been a-tellin' that
feller I am so dead broke that I
have to sleep
outdoors." .

"Didn't that fetch him?" asked the
other.
"New. IIe told me lie was a-doin'
the sante thing, and had to pay the
doctor for tellin' him to do it."
