Whether the State Department is in possession of other evidence indicat liiK the ambassador's activities has not been revealed, but the extraordinary disclosures has fixed the Iwllef that the American Government has compiled the entire story of Gorman duplicity and intrigue and that additional chapters will be added. Governmental Ideas of Honor. President Wilson on several occasions notably in his War Message of April 2 and in his reply to the |>eace note >of the Pope, has called attention to the fact that no iwace can be main tained with the Im|?erlal German (gov ernment; that no autocratic govern ment such as it can be trusted to keep faith : that only free people can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a comoinn need, and prefer the Interest of mankind to any nar row Interest of their own. The President was only restating n difference lietween two systems of gov ernmental iH>lley, two different govern mental ideas of national honor, that has long existed. The quotations given inflow show the American Idea of a nation's honor from the Inception of ? this government down to the present day and the Idea of national honor held by the German (iovernment since the days of Frederick the Great. "The foundations of our national policy, will be laid in the pure and immutable principles of private moral ity. There exists in the course of na ture an indissoluble union of virtue and happiness l?etwoen duty and ad vantage. between honest policy and public felicity. The smiles of heaven can never be expected on a government, that disregards the eternal rules of has ordained."?George Washington. President of the United States. April 1781). "We are at the lteglnuing of an age in which It will be Insisted that the saire 'standards- of conduct and 'of responsibility for wrOng done shall be observed among nations and their governments that are observed among the individual citizens of civilized states."?Wood row Wilson, President of the United States. April 1017. "We are now in a state of necessity and necessity knows no law. Our troops have occjifued neutral Luxerabery and perhamtalready have entered Belgium territory. This is a breach of inter national law. The wrong we hereby commit we will try to make good as soon as our military aims have been attained. He who is menaced as we are, and is fighting for his highest possession, can only consider how he is to hack his way through."?The Ger man Chancellor Addressing the Reich stag, August 4, 1014. The German Chancellor was simply following the keynote given by Fred erick the Great speaking in 1740: "The question of right is an affair of min isters. Take what* you can; you are never wrong unless you are obliged to give back." Contrast the American and the Ger man standards of national honor. The honor and good faith of the American Government from Washington's day to Wilson's are back of the Liberty Ix>an Bonds.

In Robeson county they ride in the white railway .coaches and stay in the white waiting rooms at the stations.

Kavala, the Grecian seaport which haa figured ao often iu pi'CSfi dispatches during recent years, is noted as the birthpiuce of Mehemet All, the remark able son of an Albauian fanner whose career as viceroy of Egypt during tho first half of the nineteenth century al most precipitated Europe into a war of nations. The house in which this witty, wily pashu was bom in 1700 is In a narrow, crooked street not far from tho Turkish school which he founded, although he himself never learned to read or write. In itoman days Kavalu was known as Neapolls, and It was here that St. Paul landed on his way from Samothrace to Phillppi, where there wns a thriving colony of Christians, to whom the Epis tle to the Phllipplans was addressed. Prior to the beginning of tho Chris tian era Nedpolis '-was the seaport of Phillppi. whoso ruins are to be found some ten miles from s^ore on the high way from Ivavala to Thessaly. Hero tue fleet oi ismtus and C assius was at anchor during tho famous conflict on the fields of Phillppi in 42 B. C., when tho assassinators of Julius Caesar met defeat at the hands of the legions com manded by Antony and Octavius. Practically all that remains to con nect ancient Ncupolis with modern Kavala Is a Roman aqueduct, whose two tier arches still convey water from Mount Paiigeus to the town and citadel. Our Sleep. As a race we sleep too little. An in faut's life is nearly all sleep. Gradual ly as the child grows older the hours of sleep are shortened. Youth till the age of twenty is reached requires fully ten hours' sleep. Although nature demands fewer hours' sleep in summer than in winter, It has been proved that eight hours of sleep are required for the av erage adult in good health. By this is meant not simply eight hours in bed, but that amount of good, sound, restful sleep night after night. Our power to work Is Intimately related to our abil ity to sleep, and there is no more reli able indication of sound health than the capacity to sleep naturally, and the more active and energetic the waking life the deeper the sleep. Tripled Her Baking Capaoity. "One day, when baking cookies," says a housewife in the Woman's Home Companion, "I expressed a wish for larger pans. My husband said, 'Why not hare some made to fit the oven?' He then measured the grate and went down to the hardware store. In a few days I bad two Russia iron pans 19% by 18% Inches and one inch deep. As these pans hold three dozens of cookies I can do my baking very much more quickly than I could with the old pans, which only held twelve cookies." Wonderful Man. "Where is ho from?" "I don't know, but I think he was raised on a desert island." "What in the world makes you think that?" "He says no woman ever made a fool of him."?Houston Post. His Regular Bath Day.

Sept. 20.?The central span of the Quebec cantilever bridge was successfully bolted into place this af ternoon at .'i :L'N o'clock, linking togeth er tlio arms of tbe largest bridge of its kind in the world. The hoisting operation began last Monday morning, and the span, which weighs 5,000 tons, was lifted by hy draulic .jacks a distance of ir><> feet from the pontoons on the St. Law rence Hiver, Todays work brought- to fin end the critical part of the operation vir tually completing the structural part of the bridge. An effort last year to raise a similar span in plaee resulted in disaster when the link slipped from its suports, causing fourteen deaths, and in 1007 a bridge in the same place collated when It was virtually com plete, killing seventy. The successful completion of the bridge will mean the fulfillment of n fifty-year engineering dream. It will be sonic months before trains can be run over the structure, as there is much detail work to Ik* carried out. The punning times between Halifax and WlnnejK'g then will be reduced half a day. One detail is the paint ing of the bridge, which. It is esti mated, will take three years and cost $25,000. Plans are being made to clear vast tracts of land in the ^traits Settle ments for the production of bananas.
