"The story seems to have had its grenesis In the sta-tement of Sir George Paish that Central Europe first, and then the continental Koro- pean allies afterwards, wrt)ul(i reu ire American help, and that Britain alone could not undertake the task. "It is easy enough to say that its origin damned such u rumor. But il was not a rumor. It was a flat and circumstantial lie, carefully calcu- lated for f irculation among.sf the ig- norant clement, which Mr. Hearst supposes, quite correctly, to consti- tute the large numbers who read his newspapers and accept their state- ments lor fact. This contradictidn, as far as the Wall Street Journal's readers are concerned, may be un- necessary, and attacking a skunk with a club is poor business anyway.

Silver is now just about double the price il was In 1'J14, and n great number of those people who did not make fortunes during the war are taking the opportunity lo sell all sorts of silver ornaments, things rather more pretty than useful, to be melted down. These consist cliieUy ot candle- sticks, inkstands, photograph frames and the like, but there are also sil- ver forks, spoons, sugar basins and other table plate. If these are modern, well and good. They are not wortli more than their weight in silver. liut il is well to warn intending vendors not lo rasli- ly dispose of old silver. Old silver is very valuable, being worth far more than i]ie live-and-.sixpence uii ounce whicli is the bullion price. Only the other day a Queen Anne milk .iug was sold for 125 shiiling.s an ounce! It came from an old furiu- house, and its original owners had no idea of its real value. Those perfectly plain silver spoons with a large flat bowl are knov.n to experts as Puritan spoons, and are wortli their weight in gold. A dealer recently offered a man £50 for the worn old silver sugar basin the family were using. It was really a seventeenth century porrin- ger, ami was worth at least £80. Apostle spoons are treasured by collectors. Kach has u figure of one of tho Apostles, with his emblem. St. Peter, for instance, holds his key. In olden days they were given as christening gifts. Single specimens, if old, have brought as much as £30, while £100 was paid for a sixteenth century Apostle spoon. The age ol silver can be accurately told by its hall mark.

She was the first cousin of Lady Jones, and of such is tho Kingdom of Heaven." And there are two frotu the Unit- ed States. Tho first, in a Nevada burial ground, runs: "Sacred to the memory of Hank Monk, the Whit- est, liiggcsl-hearted, and Best Stage- driver of the West, who was Kind lo All, Thought III of None.

Tanks Were Not Wanted By British War Office An Amazing Story Told' ^♦♦♦♦•W-M-X-X-r-W-X-M-X-X-X THE more truth we learn about )^he management of the war the more miracu- lou.s does it seem that we were not beaten. Fortunately, as we know now, the management on the enemy's side was fumbling and blundersome also. Sir Albert Slern makes some sur- prising revelations of British War Office mismanagement in his book "Tanks." Hamilton Fyfe, writing In the Lon- don Mail says: It is no exaggeration to say that If It had not been for the patience and persistence of two men. Sir Al- bert Stern and Sir Eustace Tennyson d'Eyncourt, we should never have had tanks at all. Do not think that Sir Albert claims any credit. He Is modest and unassuming all through. From the beginning they had a hard job to find any place to work In. "No Government department would provide any office accommoda- tion for us, so I took an office at my own expense. A controversy raged on this subject for six months be- tween the Admiralty, the Ministry of Munitions and the Office of Works. The Admiralty reff-i rod to it as a troublesome case, and complained that Temporary • Liciter.ant Stern apparently did not iin<!erstand the subtleties of the procedure in the Civil Service." More than 'a year later Sir Albert on the point of leaving for France, where tanks had already arrived, â- was told by "a Civil Servant, an assistant secretary." Ihat his offices were wanted and that all papers and drawings would be at once moved out. "There was no time lo argue; my train left In a few minutes. I told him that the department could not move, as it was concerned in matters. of the greatest national importance and would require before long a very large building of its own. This had no effect on him, so I gave instruc- tions to one of my officers in his presence to put an armed guard on my ofilce while I was away and to resist any attack. Should he make an attempt he was to be arrested, taken to headquarters, tied to a stake for twenty-four hours, and the rea- son explained to all and sundry, especially newspaper reporters." At one point "three military mem- bers ot the Tank Committee, who a month before had never even seen a tank, laid down all rulings even with regard to design and production." Later Mr. Churchill, who at first had helped with energy and intelligence, weakened under pressure, as he said himself, "from generals at the War Office," and dismissed Sir Albert Stern, by this time lieutenant-colonel, appointing in his place Admiral Moore, who up to the date of his appoiniment had never set eyes upon a lank! The strangest feature of the whole affair was that while the War Office demanded Sir Albert Stern's removal and tried to cut down the orders hjr tanks. G.H.C. in France assured hint of their support and gratitude, and wanted him to send more and more. Twice the tankers came up asiainsr Sir William Robertson. The' first time was after the Army Council had cancelled an order for a thousand tanks in October. 1916. "I Immediately went to see Mr. Lloyd George, the Secretary of State for War. He said he had heard noth- ing ot the instruction. I told him he could cancel my appointment, but he could not possibly get me to can- cel the orders I had placed. Sir Wil- liam Robertson then appeared and Mr. Lloyd George said he could not understand how this order could be- cancelled without his knowledge, since he was President of the Army Council. "The order for the production of 1,000 tanks was reinstated next day." It was lucky that Sir Albert hap- pened to bo a banker, the son of a man very well known and with pow- er in the city. He could stand up to the mandarins where a man without influence would have been "sunk without trace." It was lucky, loo, that he was a man of resource and humor. When the War Office press- ed him to let Russia have plans of our tanks In 1916 he opposed this strongly. "I was convinced by the nature of the questions asked thai the request really came from Germany. However, the Intelligence Department ot the W'ar Office, was very insistent, so it was decided to give the War Office ? a child's drawing and incorrect de- tails. I am convinced they found their way into the hands of the Ger- man General Staff." l)eser\-cd n Reward. Lord Dunsverick questioned il sailor called Ginty about Atidrew Mc- Munn, with whom he was about tO' have dealings. Ginly answered: "I've no doubt in my own mind about where Andrew will go when his time comes." "You think you know him pretty well, then?" "Ay, I do. It would seem queer if I didn't, seeing that I've sailed his ships this ten year. Andrew .McMunn will go to heaven." "Ah," said Lord Dunsver- ick, "he's a good man, then?" "I'U not go as far as to say precisely that," said Ginty, "but he's a man who never touches a drop of whiskey nor smokes a pipe of tobacco. It'll l>e very hard on him If he doesn't go to heaven after all he's missed in this world." rniqac Delivery.
