This phase of the has come down to a struggle of wits b veen the British Government and the neutral traders, and it is a strug- gle which must be carried on with the utmost diplomacy, for Great Britain does not wish, even if she could afford, to antagonize the people of the neutral countries by interfer- ing with their business more than is absolutely necessary. With her own people she can deal in on¢ of two ways when she catch them. one they may be dealt with under the new trading with the enemy Act, which provides for a fine of $5,000 or five years' imprisonment or both, but if a British subject is caught supplying arms or military stores to the enemy he may be tried for high treason, for which the punishment is death. An interesting situation is thdt in regard to copper. Copper may well be described as the life-blood of war, and without it Germany cannot con- tinue to fight long. It is used for cartridge cases, for shells, and for all sorts of machinery in connection with the guns on which Germany re- Mies so much. Copper, of course, is on the list of contraband, and under international law Great Britain has a perfect right to seize every cargo of copper which she can prove is destined for Ger- many. At the beginning of the war she did so, and, as a matter of fact, she is still doing so, but she has run up against a very difficult situation. The copper supply of the world is controlled largely by the Guggen- heim interests. Britain, as well as Germany, must buy her copper from them, and the Guggenheims don't like the idea of their cargoes which they have sold to the Germans being seized by their other customer. Of course, Great Britain has scrupulous- ly paid for all the copper that she has seized, but the result of' the selzyres has been to reduce her own orders for the metal. If she goes on seizing, the copper magnates have threatened to cut off her own supply. One way.out of the difficulty, of course, would be for Great Britain to take the entire available supply of copper, and she could well afford to do so. There has been great difficulty in adjusting matters with Holland and the Scandinavian countries, especial- ly Sweden, on which Germany has relied as sources of supply for many things, and as gates through which she may receive goods from over- seas. Great Britain does not desire to quarrel with or to injure their trade more than is absolutely neces- sary for many reasons. One is that in. normal times they are excellent customers of Britain and excellent friends as well. The following figures will show how in a few 'articles of every day use Germany has been drawing sup- plies from Great Britain itself through these neutral countries. In the months of September and Octo- ber, 1913, Britain exported to Hol- land, 733,800 pounds of tea, and in the same period Holland exported to Germany 1,028,356 pounds. In the corresponding two months of this year Britain exported to Holland 11,440,000 pounds of tea, and Hol- land sent 16,328,464 pounds to Ger- wany. These figures are still more remarkable when we remember that jermany is not a tea-drinking coun- try. In ordinary years she consumes about' 9,000,000 pounds. The only conclusion we can draw, therefore, is that having seen how well the British troops fight on tea she has begun to serve it to her own soldiers, Similar figures show how she has been drawing cocoa and coffee from Great Britain. In the same two months "of 1913 Great Britain ex- ported to all European countries 2,- 622,732 pounds of cocoa, and i# the two months of this year she export- ed 9,526,115 pounds. The figures for coffee for the same period were 20,- 966 cwt., and 83,087 ewt. | The situation has already been 'dealt with by the Board of Trade, which has put an embargo on the export of tea and coffee from Great Britain to the countries bordering on Germany. They have been informed as politely as possible that they have had all of these beverages that they can consume for a jong time to come, and that Great Britain has no more to spare for them. Germany has so far been willing: to pay a price enough above the mar- ket to make it worth while to secure the stuff through the countries on (her borders, / fo Grain and meat.are two !which Germany is much} 'and which she has be 'obtain in any quantity, ¥Wing ly ;to the arrangements made by the [Board of Trade and partly to tye the trade.

Maurice Donnay has received at the French Academy a letter from a friend in a dugout at the front. It contained not a word about the fight- ing or the 'Jack Johnsons' ors the weather in the trenches. The writer was troubled about only one thing- he was afraid that the academy, which has been revising its dictionary {of the Erench 'language for about threescore years, might have already reached the letter "1," and about one word under the letter "I" this ortho- grapher in the trenches holds strong views. The word is that commonly and, according to him, wrongly written "'inlassable'" (indefatigable). He imploréd M. Donnay to bring all his influence to hear upon the academy to insure the word being written "il able" in 'the revised Mitien of t dictionary. That was the only topic he wrote about, It was apparently the one uppermost in his mind. M. Donnay assured him that the academy was working on the letter "E" and that the war would be over long before it got to "I." Use All the Teeth. Paradoxical as it may seem, the teeth employed for chewing present quite a clean appearance, while the unemployed ones are unclean, usual- ly very dirty, writes Dr. John Philip Erwin in Oral Hygiene. People ex- press surprise when informed they are running on one dental cylinder by using only the right or left side of the mouth, When a father spied his boy us- ing only the upper third of the saw on the log he said: "Som, the entire saw belongs to me.

Boiling Water, Why is it that water will not al- ways boil at the same temperature? Water boils whenever the outward pressure of the steam balances the inward pressure of the air, but the latter is not always the same. The barometer shows that. When the air presses heavily the steam will neces- sarily have to exercise greater force to overcome it than when it ig low. This is why water boils at a lower temperature on the top of a moun- tain than at sea level, Water boils ut sea level at a temperature of 212 degrees F. | | The Insanity Plea.

Chile has always had its aristocrats, its middle el and its 'common people, The last does the work of the. .coun- try, and it is geverally known by the term Inquilino. The aristocrats are the descendants of the Spaniards and morg espacially ofthe patriots among them, that had to do with freeing Chile from the yoke of Spain. These men are the controlling influence of the country. They have the fat of fices and own nearly all of the prop- erty. Some have stock in the nitrate and other mines and not a few are engaged in the various industries. Many of them are rich farmers, and- it is from them that come the heads of universities and the chief doctors and lawyers. The niost of the aristo crats are men of fine education. They are the progressive element of the country. They are proud of Chile and are intensely patriotic. ! They are not afraid te fight for their, rights, and they will got submit to injustice either as individuals or as a nation. | The middle classes are merchants and smaM land holders. Among them are many pure whites, and many: who have more or less Indian blood mixed with that which comes down from the Spanish, | The lower class are known as the Inquilinos or, erroneously, as rotas. The word roto is one of contempt. It conveys the idea of a drunken, good-for-nothing loafer, allied to that of a quarrelsomg, bad character, This is not the nature of the Inquis lino, the Chilean peasant. He is a goon, hard-working, honest man as a rule.and anything Wut a loafer. He i is' a descendant of the peasant class | of north of Spain and of the Arau- canian Indians. He is intelligent and quick to learn anything that requires headiness and craft. He can do all kinds of work and makes an excel. lent mechanic, farmer or orchardist, He is a born horseman and is skilled in the handling of stock. He is hardy and vigorous and noted for his en- durance and patience. At the same time he is brave, veéry.quick-tempered and will fight upon slight provoca- tion.
