Coming almost immediately on the conviction of four officials of the Hamburg-American line of conspiracy in ] obtaining manifests for vessels with which to place provisions on German warships in the Atlantic has come the announcement that'several days ago the United States requested that Gerj many recall Oapt. Karl Boy-Ed. naval j attache, and !Cai)t( Franz von Papen, military attache of the German embassy at Washington. The officers, it is said, made the step necessary by improper activity in connection with naval and military matters. It is said that the department was uncertain whether steps should be (taken with regard to other officials of 'the embassies at Washington in connection with similar activities. The recall of the attaches is tantamount to their forced withdrawal from the diplomatic service of Germany in this country.

The Smoke House Detective made an., important discovery Friday morning when he unearthed an old watch from an abandoned straw stack on Musket Ridge. The watch has been buried for about fifteen years, and the only clue to the mystery is that the watch stopped at 8:30 o'clock. A play was given at the Tickville opera house the other night. In the second and fifth acts three people were killed by the villain. "The coroner at Tickville attended the show and lost fifteen dollars by all of the dead ones! coming to life again in the last act. j Columbus Alisop and Cricket Hicss "were overtaken by a big rain while walking along the Gander Creek road the other day.

"Breach of promise," however, is chained so securely to the post of a single meaning that it connotes but one idea in the popular mind. "Elope" is another word that is not free. It means merely to run away, but only people wno run away ro marry surreptitiously are allowed to elope. "Notoriety" is simply the state of bein? known. A notorious man. however, ia a man of bad reputation. "Ruegcstiv^ness" likewise means merely having the ability to suggest, but it is used in a bad sense. And 'criticism," however much it would like to desci^e friendly as well as hostile comment, finds itself unable to convey any meaning save that of faultfinding.

BIG PULL OF THE ROBIN. To See It at Its Strongest Watch Him Get Breakfast. Relatively speaking, the robin has more pull than the wiliest politician that ever drew breath or a contract. We mean, of course, in companion to their sizes. By similar comparison, he's stouter than a 100 horsepower stumn nuller or a steel magnet If you want to see him test his strength get up early some seasonable morning, go out on the lawn and watch your friend, the robin, grubbing for worms. You'll havo to be early because the robin is. Likewise the robin is early because the worm is. Earthworm*, you know, crawl out of their underground tunnels at nighttime and feed nr? Hnari :iiul cTflssAs scattered over the lawns. The robin gets his breakfast before the worms hPi? time to get far down in their burroTs. Mr. Robin goes hopping around over the grass like a boy in a sack race with his feet tied, stopping to inspect a hole so tiny that you'd never see it He shoots his bill down in the hole, gives his head a little twist?yes. he's found a worm. Then begins rhe tug of war. With the end of the worm fast in his biV . the robin braces his legs and j:iil!s He doesn't jerk the worm out. If !i did the worm might break, and you'll seldom see a robin get only haif a worm. No, he plays with it like a skillful angler who has caught a big iish on hia line. Little by little tbe worm gives way, and presto, (he robin hiis him in his mouth. Once \n a great while a young robin, who hasn't kerned the art yet, will bft caught off his balance by a sudden' release of the worm and go tumbling on his back. But that doesn't happen often.?Philadelphia North .Mnerican.
