Exeter Times, 1915-7-15, Page 3�� fir.. • THE TINYREPURUC OLDEST STATE IS AT WAR WITH GERMANY. San Marino Was Founded 1600 Years Ago by a Dalmatian Monk, San Marino, the smallest republic in the world and the oldest state ' in Europe, has voted to go into the war. This tiny republic did not have to. make a formal declaration as the mightier combatants in the struggle did, for with San Marino and Austria the relations were somewhat similar to those between Montenegro and Turkey; there never was peace, and it was only necessary for San Marino • to say that, a state of war already ex- isted. San Marino thus threw into the' :balance some thirty-eight square miles of Apennine racks and valleys, 950 soldiers and as many officers as she has square miles, and defied the Austrians to do their worst. Altitude and position had much to do with getting San Marino into the war. The highest point of the re- public is Monte Titano, which rises a sheer cliff to more than 2,600 feet above the valley and, being a some- what isolated spur to the east of the Apennines is easily discernible from far out on the Adriatic and from the highlands of the Austrian border miles to the north. At the time of San Marino's military glory several hundred years ago the cliffs and the strong wall that climbed along their edge to Titano's summit were a de- fence against crossbows, javelins, and catapults. In these days of modern warfare this strength proves more or less a weakness. In the first place if San Marino re- mained neutral the Austrian airmen might venture across the sea, drop down upon these heights for rest and repairs and then dart off to attack some interior Italian city or even Venice, more than 100 miles up the coast. On the other hand if she went into the war these same venturesome airmen might drop bombs that would tear up most of her ancient walls land destroy her capital city. Finally she decided that since she was part of Italy and bound to that country by the closest relations she would risk the bombs rather than be come the base for the manoeuvres of her old enemy. Founded by Monk. St. Marinus laid the foundation of the little nation some 1,600 years ago. According to tradition the founder of the State was a Dalmatian stone- cutter named Marinus, who after working for years at Rimini embraced Christianity and withdrew to Monte Titano to escape persecution under Diocletian. His fame as an austere anchorite reached the ears of the noble lady to whom it belonged and she presented the mount to him and in addition a tract of land, thinking that yarinus, as was usual in those days, would found a monastry. ' He did this and more, for he found- ed a republic. Dying he gave Titano to his disciples, recommending them never to abandon it and `to organize a civil society and live always in per- fect communion and peace based upo"n principles of virtue." San Marino lies about twelve miles from the.,.Adriatic coast and about the same distance from Rimi. It is seven miles long and five wide. The Government of the republic is really in the hands of a Great Coun- cil of Sixty, twenty nobles, twenty landowners and twenty peasants. The executive power is vested in two capitani reggenti, who are selected twice a year. The judiciary is pecu- liar in that the judges are not chosen from among the people of San Marino but from a foreign country. The last two judges, who have held office for two terms of three years each, were members of the Italian bar. • San Mariano has ministers plenipo- tentiary and consuls, the same as any other European country. There was a time several years ago when the sale of patents of nobility formed no mean part of the revenue. Dukes, counts, and barons of San Marino became so numerous in Italy that the Government forbade the sale of such titles. As an illustration of the ease with which a person with a long purse could acquire a title a story is told of a wealthy plebian German who wagered 25,000 with an ennobled compatriot that within four weeks he could secure a higher title than that of his friend. The German went to San Marino, paid $12,500 for a ducal title and came back within the stipulated time, making a profit of $12,000 besides his title. Had to Smile. Brown had just returned from a short, but delightful, trip to the Con- tinent. Barely had he sat foot again on the shore of Britain when, as is usual, he had to submit his baggage to the Customs officials for inspec- tion. The latter, although Brown assured them that he had nothing to declar, seemed bent on making 'a thdiougli inspection. "But there's nothing in that trunk except wearing apparel," insisted Brown. Unper- tubed and unconvinced the official pro- seeded with his task, pulling out gar- xnent after garment, until finally he discloseda dozen bottles of ovine. The official looked at Brown, then at the bottles, and then . again at Brown. "And what kind of wearing apparel d'you call this ?" he asked. "Night- caps!" retorted .Brown, and even the grim official had to smile. BABY'S GRLAT DANGER DURING HOT 'WE.ATIIER More little ones die during the hot weather than at any other time of the year.. Diarrhoea„ elysentry, cholera infantum and stomach troubles coxae without warning, and when a Medi- cine. is not at hand to give promptly the short delay too frequently means that the child has passed beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets should always be kept in homes where there are young children. An occasional dose of the Tablets will prevent stomach and bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes suddenly the prompt use of the Tab- lets will cure the baby. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or, by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. First Krupp Was Blacksmith. From a little blacksmith's shop at Essen in 1812, the mighty firm of Krupps, the home of German guns, has grown into the largest armament factory in the world. Friedrich Krupp originated the smithy, and for four- teen years struggled against poverty. He died a poor man, and on his death- bed confided the secrets he had dis- covered during his lifetime to his son Alfred. It was more than twenty years before Alfred Krupp gained re- cognition, but after obtaining fame through exhibiting a forty-five ton cast ingot of Krupp steel at the Crys- tal Palace Exhibition in 1851, he never looked back. Whet} he died, in 1887, 60,000 people followed him to the grave. To -day Krupps' works cover 1,000 acres of ground. Even be- fore the war -rush commenced the firm were employing 60,000 men at their main works at Essen and thous- ands of others in their collieries, ship- building yards, and private testing grounds. It is estimated that aver 300,000 people depend on Krupps for their livelihood. At the Krupps' works 40,000 can- non are turned out every year. Work at Krupps' is conducted in great secrecy. Each worker is for- bidden to enter any office or workshop not connected with his own depart- ment. He has a passport for his special job, and he must not take any interest in - any other. Krupps' private army will march him off to the private barracks if he disobeys. Hundreds of watchmen, heavily arm- ed, guard the secrets of the Krupps' works both day and night, and the grounds are a mass of electric traps which immediately signal the ap- proach of any intruder. .p Nothing in Goodness. Willie came home from school cry- ing bitterly. "Mother," he sobbed, "I'm not going to try and be good any more," "Why, Willie, whatever is the matter?" asked his mother. "Boo- hoo!" sobbed Willie. "I was in school to -day, and I saw Teddy Smith put a bent pin on the teacher's chair, and because I did not want him to sit on it I pulled his chair away ,and he sat on the floor. He gave me a thrashing for pulling his chair away when he got up, and when I got out- side the school Teddy Smith hit me for pulling the pin away, and not minding my own business."

Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food and right living, rather ,than heavy drugs, and this is the true method, for only from food can the body be rebuilt. Many people, after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, and when their ailments be- come chronic, expect the doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly re- build them. This is not possible. The only true method is to run as quickly as can be, from poor food to good. A young lady says: "I was variously treated for my nerves, stomach, lungs, etc., but none of the treatments gave me relief. "About a year ago when my appe- tite failed completely and I began to have sinking spells similar to faint- ing, I took all manner of tonic and stimulants, but they were of no ef- fect. I had been brought to quit. drinking coffee and taking Postum in its place and gradually began to get a little better. "Someone suggested that if I found Postum so beneficial I had better use Grape -Nuts food, as they were both the children of one brain. I com- menced on Grape -Nuts food for breakfast, having Postum with. it. I found the food so dainty, delicious, and appetizing that I always looked. forward to breakfast with pleasure, "Shortly after commencing this diet, the wretched pain in my side was greatly relieved, and now, a year later, it has gone entirely, also the sinking spells; in fact, my pale cheeks have changed to pink, I have gained back more than the twenty pounds I lost, and am thoroughly well in every way."

He was one of the sur- vivors of the Titanic wreck; two years later was saved when the Empress of Ireland sank, and more recently was rescued when the Imsitania was sunk by a Ger- man torpedo. FIRST BRI1SH NAVY WAS ROMAN ESTABLISHED BY C3ESAR AFTER HE HAD INVADED ENGLAND. Henry VIIL Called Father of the Navy of More Modern Times. The first British navy was a Ro- man one, if the Hibernianism may be permitted, and it was due to the hosts whom great Caesar led to conquest. For the protection of their colony (Ernest Protheroe tells us, in a new book just published), the Romans es- tablished a fleet known as the Classis Britannica, manned by Roman sol- diers, but with the oars of the galleys worked by Britons who were pressed into service. In 288 A.D., Carausius, with the aid of some pirates, got pos- session of the fleet and defied the Ro- man authority, calling himself Em- peror of Britain. He was succeeded by Allectus, who was overthrown and slain by the Emperor Constantine. The revolted soldiers, who had been assisting Allectus, fled to London, where they were attacked and killed. in the streets by the Roman forces. But after occupying Britain for more than three centuries and a half the Romans evacuated the country in 410 A.D.., in order to assist in de- fending the very heart of Rome, which was being assailed by hordes of bar- barians from Central Europe. During the latter part of their occupation they had practically abolished the CIassis Britannica; and upon the de- parture of the legions Britain was.. again without a fleet. Alfred the Great was the creator of the first really British navy. In 875 Alfred defeated seven Danish ships off Swanage, capturing one and putting the others to flight; in 894 he destroyed a Danish fleet off Appel - dose and gained another great victory near the Isle of Wight three years later. The weakness of Ethelred II., who gave bribes to the Danes instead of a fight, opened the way to disastrous raids, and it was not until after the death of Canute and the restoration of the English line of Kings, that the semblance of a fleet was again estab- lished. King Harold's Fleet. To King Harold, succeeding Edward in 1066, fell the task of averting, if possible, the impending invasion of Normans. But Duke William delayed setting out. Meanwhile, their period of annual service being at an end, food aboard being scarce, and the men being re- quired ashore to work in the harvest, the English ships returned to their various ports. Three weeks later Duke William crossed over with about 900 ships . and 15,000 men, and effect- ed an easy landing at Pevensey, near Hastings. Henry II. had larger fighting ships specially constructed for the service of the Crown, in addition to the usual forced levies. During this regia it was enacted that no vessel should be sold to leave England. Portsmouth was rising into importance as a naval port and London and Bristol were do- ing an increasing trade with the Con- tinent. Itiehard I., "Coeur de Lion," sixth of the 'Norman Kings, gave the navy A great;impetus, and in the third cru- sade undertook' a record trip to the Meditterranean with troops for the Holy Land. It was in the time of John that the naval rivalry b4ween the English and the French first commenced. In 1218 Philip Augustus of France, attacked the Earl of Flanders, who was an old ally of John's. An Eng- lish fleet of 500 ships; under the Earl of Salisbury, was despatched against Philip, whose fleet was attacked in the harbor of Demme,. As a great portion of the French crews was ashore at the time, the English easily captured 800 sail and destroyed 100 others. The remaining French ves- sels were then so closely blockaded that their crews burnt them to pre- vent them from being captured. After this signal naval victory Xing John took to himself the title `Governor of the Seas,' and he caused it to be proclaimed that all foreign vessels should lower their topsails in salutation. of the English flag in the Channel. English Seamanship. A curious battle royal at sea marked the reign of Edward I.: There was a direct challenge and acceptance to settle all differences by a pitched battle in midchannel on April 14, 1295. There was no limit' to the number of vessels on each side and consequently the rivals enlisted their friends or those who merely de- sired a fight for the love of it. A num- ber of Irish and Dutch vessels joined the hardy Cinque Ports men, while some Genoese came to the aid of the French. Although the English ships were outnumbered by about two to one, by their seamanship and desperate fighting their crews nobly atoned for, their lack of sail, They captured no less than 240 of the hostile ships and sank a great number. Meantime the French had been building new warships armed with cannon, and Edward III. had been dead only a few days when De Vienne, a noted French admiral, ap- peared off our sorthern coast to give us a taste of the quality of the new French fleet. De Vienne's drastic operations resulted in the sacking of Rye and Folkestone, and the destruc- tion of Portsmouth, Plymouth, and Dartmouth, and then he sailed back to France with his ships filled with booty. French ships in 1380 even sailed up the Thames and burnt Gravesend. For the time being England had not only ceased to be "Mistress of the Seas," she was no longer mistress of her own waters, and the weakness and unpreparedness of Richard II. to withstand these foreign ravages led to rebellion in some parts of England. It had required a calamity to prove to the English that it was suicidal policy to allow the navy to decline in strength, or -to fail to seize upon new aids to warfare. Forthwith measures were taken to bring the fleet up to date. Father of Navy. Henry VIII. earned the title "Fa- ther of the English Navy," for from the commencement of his reign in 1509 he followed a definite naval policy, which consisted in steadily building ships until he possessed the largest navy in the world. "The most glorious period in the history of our wooden wails," writes Mr. Protheroe, "was that between 1702 and 1805, a stressful century of almost continual war with powerful enemies, that put out ships and men to most searching tests, from which both emerged triumphantly." And in those days— "'Hearts of Oak,' indeed, were our wooden walls, for to build even a 74 - gun ship, the third rate, of which our navy contained so many, from 1,500 to 2,000 oak trees were needed. "The French ships, as a rule, were bigger and faster than our own; they possessed larger batteries, and their lowest tier of guns was higher, in order to fight them in rough weather; whereas in most English ships the lower deck ports could not be opened in a rough sea without danger of swamping the ship. Fortunately for us, the French did not pay equal at- tention to the effectiveness of their guns, or many of our battles with them would have ended far different- ly„ In this brief review most attention has been paid to the earlier and less familiar history of Britain's navy. In his book, Mr. Protheroe brings his story down to the latest thing in sub- marines. The reason there are so many fail- ures is because so many men spend all their time looking for the easy ways to success. German prisoners of war in Eng- land are allowed daily 11u. bread, or 3-4 lb. biscuit; 3-4 lb. fresh meat, or 11b (nominal) preserved meat; 3 oz. cheese; 5-8 oz. tea; 1-4 ib. jam; 3 oz. sugar; 1-2 oz. salt; 1-20 oz. mustard; 1-36 oz. pepper; 1-2 Ib. fresh vege- tables, or, instead, 2 oz. peas, or beans, or dried potatoes; with 2 oz. to- bacco a week, for smokers.

Then my appetite failed. I grew very weak. Various remedies, pills, tonics and tablets I tried without permanent benefit. A visit to my sister put into my hands a box of Dr. Hamilton's Pills, She placed reliance upon them and now that they have made me a well woman.

The fortieth annual report of the Ox:tario Agricultural College, and. Macdonald Institute, Guelph, has just been issued. The President, Dr. G. C. Creelman, gives an interesting ac- count of his trip abroad, when he in- vestigated agricultural conditions in Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, and the Philippine Is- lands, and came to the conclusion that Ontario is still the most attract- ive farming place that it is his pleas- ure to know. Considerable emphasis is placed upon the educational work of the District Representatives in the public and high schools, and the co- operation of the Department of Edu- cation in assisting to train rural pub- lic school teachers for agricultural ef- fort. A synopsis of the reports of the various heads of the departments to the President is also presented. These deal chiefly with the army worm, weeds, orchard work, drainage, lightning rods, field crops, and ani- mal husbandry. This renders the re- port less bulky, but those who desire more complete information regarding the special work of the several de- partments will find it issued in bul- letin form from time to time. An an- alysis of the College Roll is given, together with a list of graduates of the year, and the names of those who won diplomas and certificates in the lesser courses. A financial statement of the instit'ation is appended, New Record in Tea Prices. Over eight million pounds of tea have been sunk in merchant ships during the war. This immense quan- tity could ill be spared at a time when the demand for tea throughout the world has reached a greater volume than ever. Anyway the cost of tea has risen to a higher level than his- tory records for many years. e1' Highland Piper Plays His Last Tune. No musician is more devoted to the instrument on which he plays than the Highland piper. A touching story of a piper's last moments on the battlefield is told by Private L. L. Spalding, of the 90th Winnipeg Rifles (the "Little Black Devils"), who was one of the Canadian soldiers gassed at Ypres. While up in the firing line a piper of the 79th High- landers (Canadian Scottish) was mor- tally wounded in the chest, he says.— The ays:The man sat down on a bank, hugging his beloved pipes, and refused to be carried away. "I want to stay here and—and play a last tune," he gasped. But a little pathetic wheezing noise was all the music he could get from his pipes. A few minutes later he fell back dead. Expanding His Property. "Jones should possess a consider- able lot of real estate." "Why so ?" "He is always making mountains out of molehills." Women's 1nstitlites of Ontario. Nearly 25,000 women, in 843 branches, make up the membership of the Womon's Instituteat of On- tario, the annual report of which for 1914 has just been issued.. Articles in this report cover nearly every line of feminine endeavor. Ile efforts de- scribed or proposed relate to activi- ties in Institutes, the Church, and community life; to Red Cross and other forms of patriotic helpfulness; and to agriculture, more especially to fruit growing, poultry raising, and beekeeping for women. The report gives very full consideration to the home, nearly every range of domestic economy receiving attention. The study of child life is given a large place, and two addresses deal with "Children's Rights" and "Education for the Backward." "Electricity as it Relates to Women on the Farm" is the title of a practical talk by Sir Adam Beck. Considerable space is given to health topics, both of a pleb• lic and an individual nature. The re- port reflects much credit upon the hosts of women who are helping along Institute work in his Province. .14 Sign of Sapience. "Pa, why do people call the owl the bird of wisdom?"

Two young men in a crowded sea- side resort had great difficulty in find- ing sleeping accommodation, and were at length offered a bed which the landlady assured them was a feather bed.
