The Clinton News Record, 1916-11-16, Page 3BERNSTORFF'S DEPARTURE NEAR
IS BELIEF IN WASHINGTON
The Submarine Issue Believed to Have Reached an Acute and
Perhaps ItS .Final Stage.
A despatch from Washington sa
With the elections over, it soe
probable that the American nation
a few days will awaken to the fa
that the submarine issue with G
many ha a reached its most acute a
perhaps its final stage. Two impel.
ant facts stand out prominent
namely: -
The State Department has receiv
information indicating that the Pru
Mans have inaugurated a change
their submarine policy and have d
cided to adhere no longer to the rul
ySi , cent cases, such as the torpedoing of
ms the Arabia without warning, are in
in violation of the laws of cruiser war-
ct , fare and of the Prussian promise to
el.- this country, the next step will be the
nd dismissal from WaShington Of Count
•t- von'Bernstorff, the German Ambassa-
ly, dor, and the formal recall of Mr.-
Gerard, American Ambassador to Bar-
ed
s- President Wilson informed Congress th
in in e midst of the last submarine
e- crisis that unless Prussian submarines
es conformed to the laws of the nations
of international warfare in the co
duct 'of their submarines, regardless
of promises to the United States.
From a high authority it is learned
that Preaident Wilson has made up
his mind not to send any more notes
to Germany on the submarine issue,
lod that if it should develop that re-
,
n- and of humanity he would feel com-
pelled th sever diplomatic relations
with ,the German Government entire-
ly. Mr. Wilson never .;for a minute
has lost sight of this -possibility,' and
his mind is fully made up to act in'
this regard if unlawful submarine
warfare is „renewed..

DICTIONARY IS. GROWING.
5,000 Words Added to English Lan-
guage Each Year.
Sir Ernest •Shaeldeton is given
credit for, the invention of more new
English words than :ply one else.
The European • wer - hal introduced
many new °ems which will be perman-
ently retained. •
An average of abm1.5,000 words
are added to the English language
each year, according to "the measure
of the dictionaries during the past
three centuries. Bullokar's "Com-
plete English Dictionary," the first
In the language, published in 1616,
contained a little over 5,000 words.
"The New World of English Words,"
published in 1658, contained 13,000
words. A dictionary published in
1720 by Nathan Bailey surpassed this
by 32,000. twenty-five years later
Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary, con-
taining 50,000 words, came out.
In 1828 Websters "American Die-
tionary," -*Ith a vocabulary more than
three times as great, appeared. In
the latter part of the nineteenth cen-
tury the "Imperial Dictionary," with
200,000 words, and the "Century Dic-
tionary," with a still larger number,
were published. Then, in -1804, came
the "Standard Dictionary," contain-
ing 318,000 words. The first edition
has been followed by others, the latest
of whieh contains some 450,000 words,
The apparent growth of the lan-
guage as indicated by the dictionaries
results largely from improved means
of compilation.
HOW TO INVEST YOUR MONEY.
No person with any sense disputes
the wisdom of depositing money in a
savings bank and earning three per
cent, per annum, but what a good busi-
ness man cannot understand is, why
it should be allowed to remain there
and left to accumulate at that mete.
Money to -day is certainly woeth
more than that, but the difficulty is,
the average person does not know
how to invest it safely. There is a
way open to every healthy person to
invest his money without any risk,
which may bring him or his family a
thousand per cent., and no matter
what the result, cannot bring him less
than three per cent, interest, and that
Is by taking out an endowment life
insurance policy in the Crown Life
Insurance Company of Toronto. The
moment you pay your first premium
you create an estate of the full value
of your policy. Should you die with-
in a year your estate will receive a
thousand per- cent. on your invest-
ment; if you live to the maturity of
your policy you will have returned to
you more than principal and three
per cent. interest.
Can there be any comparison be-
tween leaving your money on deposit
in a savings bank or buying a policy

JAP SOLDIERS DEFY SUN.
Only Two Men Drop in Twelve -Day
Tramp of 2,000.
.Under a scorching sun that at
times drove the mercury up to 180
degrees Fahrenheit, 009 soldiers of
the Japanese army, stationed in ra-
mose and the Pescadores, made a
twelve -day march in Formosa be-
tween July 1 and July 12. Only three
cases of sunstroke are reported, ac-
cording to the Indianapolis News. The
first nine days *ere spent in march-
ing, and the troops actually covered
more than 100 miles. The last three
days were spent in manoeuvres.
With a view to finding the best
clothing to protect soldiers from the
heat, the soldiers were allowed to
wear any costume they pleased. Some
wore helmets, some straw hats; some
wore an ordinary uniforin with a hole
on either side, or a knitted under-
shirt, or a thin kimono; Some vtore
their heavy boots; soine tabl. Beside
their clothing, the best good and drink
for soldiers under these conditions
were also studied.
DEAD ONLY BY RED TAPE. '
British Sergeant, Still Alive, is, Of-
ficially Dead.
Among the men who have to prove
that "they are they" and alive, we
may greet Sere. Bennett, who gee=
to ,be gatting his gun out of a life of
adventure seasoned by sudden 'death
administered by the casual bit of red
tape, reports the London Chronicle.
Bennett was officially dead (and
you can hardly be deader than that).
But he turned up alive, and asked for
his pay. His commanding officer
showed. him the roll of honor -his
name upon it, Cad, in fact, protested
that the War Office, when it says a
man is dead, that num is dead.
The sergeant is quite willing to
accept the pay due and to scratch
out his name (temporarily) from the
regimental roll of honor.

FALL WHEAT HELPED
BY FINE WEATHE
GERMAN SOLDIERS'
R PITIFUL LETTERS
The Shortage of Seed is Alread
Appiteent in
Ontario.
A despatch from Guelph says: D
C. A. Zavits, 0.A.C., had some bite
esting things to say on Wmlnesda
regarding the seed grain situatio
which will be beneficial to the farm
ers of Ontario,
"The remarkably fine weather w
have been having this Fall is th
greatest thing that ever happened t
the Fall wheat," stated Dr. Zavit
"On the plots that we have here, an
they take in quite a large acream
the Winter wheat looks almost 'a
well as in' any average year. It i
getting a great foundation, and i
showing a good spreading top. W
sowed here the second week In Sep
tember, which we considered rathe
late, as we plaa always to .seed th
first of September. Reports fro
other points indicate that the White
wheat is benefiting by the mild wea
then" , •
In regard to the seed situation, Dr
Zavitz was not at all optimistic
"Good seed is going to be scarce," h
said, "that will especially be true i
regard to barley, oats, potatoes, cor
and alfalfa, And I would advise an
farmer who has a good quality o
these to be very careful what he doe
with them, as there is going to be,
fact there is right now, a pronounce
shortage in the seed situation in On
tario.
"There was a lot of grain threshe
out that will not do for seed. 0
late years farmers have been drawing
largelY on Essex for seed corn, bo
the 'crop there has not been up to
the standard of other years, although
growers there are paying more at-
tention to drying, and will probably
produce more seed proportionately
than they did before. What potatoes
there are should make splendid seed,
as there is no rot this year, and the
potatoes were not overly ripened,
which improves them for seeding pur-
poses. It is not advisable to import
seed from other provinces or from
other countries, as there is always the
danger of mixed grain, which we have
been trying to eradicate. The great
thing is for the farmers of Ontario
to conserve all the seed grain they
have. There will be a temptation to
feed it, but their best policy looking
to the future is to save it."

CONTROL COAL INDUSTRY.
Etritish Government W- ill Take Steps

The Government is proposing to
ti tke over control of the coal industry
of Great Britain in the near future,
the main purpose of the scheme of

lain power of control over the neutral

"Yesterday evening we came right

to call for his return cargo at sped- ,

TWENTY GUNS TAKEN

Thirteen of These Are of Medium
Calibre -Only Artillery Duels
RePorted
A deepatch from Rome says :-
Italian forces in their offensive against
the Austro-Hungarian positions on the
Cane front have captured a total of
twenty guns, including thirteen of
medium calibre, according to the
Italian official statement issued on
Thursday.
The first thing in the game of life
is to knove the rules.
Nurse Decorated by Ring George.
Nurse Laura Pack shows her envious brother, a sergeant in the Can-
adian contingent, tho Royal Red Cross Medal which she received from the
King.
The following is an excerpt from a
letter written by another German vic-
tim of the Somme to his father in
Germany:
"Every day we have dead and
wounded, To -night, for example, we
have two dead, four wounded, one
seriously who will die op the way.
We receive very heavy gun and trench
mortar fire, almost enough to drive us
mad. Only the hope that we shall
soon be relieved gives the necessary
strength to held out and stand firm.
I should never have believed that men
could endure so much:
"When we came into position the
day before yesterday each man had
to take with him rations for six days,
that is to say, three loaves of bread
two tins of meat and six bottles o
water, kit and assaulting order, whiel
consists of a' great coat, mess tin
tent, etc, All this in addition -to th
strap equipment. Then comes
March of over three hours, constant]
under gunfire, the last hour and
...quarter, in a narrow communicatim
trench, and the last 500 meters iron,
the communication branch into the
front trench over the open, from one
shell hole to another. You can im-
agine how heartily sick men get of
this sort of life, especially seeing tha
many have already been at it for one
and a half to two years. The great
desire for the ardently expected peace
can be understood."
Nineteen -Year -Old Lads Called Out.
Writing in the latter part of Aug.
ust veteran of many battles said
that "to -day a lot more have been
called up, including the nineteen -year-
old boys and many old men."
Another battle -hardened veteran
wrote to a relative that "it is a shame
to see how all the young fellows have
to go."
This letter is dated August 24,
and tells its own story:
"Our new position is still more piti-
able than the last one. I wouldn't
have believed that a position could be
worse than that, but here it is brought
strikingly before one's eyes. A trench
completely knocked about by gunfire,
in some places almost flattened out,
so that any movement has to be done
at a run. Having arrived here in the
early hours of the morning, I was at
the end of my tether. I have com-
pletely recovered, and that is the odd
thing about it. . . Men can't be
left for long in such a position, I see
that clearly.. They must be some re-
lieved,"
Another soldier writing from the
German front near Thiepval says that
"to -morrow many more must go, those
who have served 'as well as those who
have not, mostly men of forty-four
and forty-five years of age. If only
this awful war would come to an
' end!"

driven back advanced detachments of
Field Marshal von Mackensen's
Turco -Bulger -German forces and pro-
gressed southward. The town of Him
soya, on the Danube, 45 miles north of
Tchernavoda, has been reoccupied, al-
though the place was partially de-
stroyed, the enemy haying set fire to
the houses before retreating. Accord -
the Bulgarian forces are retreating
ing-to Bucharest semi-official advices,
I along their whole front. As the Bul-
garians withdraw, the statement says,
e they are systematically burning the
8 Roumanian villages.
The Rumanian statement shows
a that the Dobrudja has not ceased to
be an. avenue for Rogan help be
reach Roumania because of She loss of
Constanza and the Carpi Bridge at
Ceenavoda. The Russians are now
sending to Selina, at the month of the
middle estuary of the Danube, sup -
t Plies which go thence through the Sa-
lina Canal and the Danube to Galatz
and are distributed over Roumania by
rairread. The route is longer and
slower than the all -rail route of
which von Itlackensen deprived Rou-
mania.

WARNING TO WOMEN
GOING TO ENGLAND.
It May Be Difficult to Get Room on
Steamers Coming Back.
The following pathetic letter was
from a German mother to her soldier
son on the Somme. The son was cap-
tifred unwounded and is safe in a Brit-
ish prison camp now:
"Albert," the motile wrote late in
August, "I shall soon be unable to
bear it any Longa. It will bring me
to the lunatic asylum -all this mur-
dering and slaughtering. There is
continual moving of troops now, but
instead of Flanders they all go to the
Somme. There will be a third winter
campaign. I don't like writing you
how things look in the field, but fa-
ther scolds me and says that I must.
The Russians, they say, are before
Lemberg again. In Galicia the Aus-
trians have suffered frightful re-

A despatch from Ottawa says: A.
memorandum issued from the Prime
Minister's office on Thursday calls at-
tention to the fact that all women or
other members of families of Cana- d
dian soldiers who have gone to Eng- r
land to live, or who contemplate go-
ing there, should seriously consider p
the difficulties which are sure to arise
at the end of the war in regard to se-
curing transportation home again. It
is pointed out that most of the space
in all available transatlantic steamers
will be needed to bring the troops
themselves back to Canada. There s
will be little if any space available r
for women children, and cense- G
quently they may find themselves p
stranded in England for an indefinite d
ital.
U-BOATS PIERCE
CHANNEL GUARD
Recent Raid by German War-
ships a Blind -British
Admiralty Busy
A despatch from London says:
German submarines have been operatt
ing extensively in the English Chan-
nel and off the southern coast of
France. They 'broke through the
British blockade and ring of defences
under cover of the recent raid by Ger-
man warships.
This information came to the Trib-
une on Thursday from reliable
Sources. The raid carried out by en-
emy warships in the shipping route
between the Thames and Holland on
November 1, this report says, was a
blind to get half a dozen or more U-
boats through the Channel. That it
succeeded is evidenced by the unusual
activity of submarines in these waters
during the last few days. Their toll
of victims this week has been excep-
tionally high.
The British naval authorities have
learned of this fact, and are making
strenuous efforts to trap some of tha
raiders, it is said. The Channel pa-
trol has been augmented, and a
watch is being kept night and day for
signs of the submarines reported to
be operating off the coast.

No Serious Interference is Expected
With Receipt by Canadians.
A despatch from Ottawa says: A
communication from Sir George Per-
ky to the Prime Minister intimates
that satisfactory arrangements will
be made through the Wae Office
whereby parcels sent from Canada to
individual prisoners of war in Ger-
many will be forwarded without de-
lay. There will be a central super-
vision and censorship in London, but
it is expected the new regulations

the Canadians in Germany of parcels

friends in Canada.
