Washington, May 80.-—Great Britain attempted to exact from the United States a charge of $l5O a man—slo more than the price of a first-class passage on an ocean liner —for the transportation of American soldiers to France. This official statement was made to the house military affairs committee by Brig. Gen. Frank T. Hines, chief of the embarkation service.

The original agreement, General Hines said, was that the United States should pay to England the actual expenses of carrying our soldiers to Europe. Included among the Items on which the cost was to be calculated, were Insurance, the cost of operation, food and the cost of alterations in the ships. It was found Impossible to speedily arrive at the actual cost on this basis, the committee was told. Great Britain submitted a bill for $152,000,000 which, General Hines said, was at the rate of $l5O a man. The war department Immediately protested against this exorbitant charge. Subsequently, the matter was placed In the hands of Lord Reading, the British ambassador, who held a conference with Secretary Baker. The agreement between the ambassador and the. secretary was that $81.75 was a<klr rate.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

TALL HAT STILL IN VOGUE

Hudgtar That Haa Bean Object of Ridicule for Many Years Manageo to Retain Popularity. For none BO years the tall hat haa boon an object of ridicule with humor* lata. The war. It waa thought, would cause ita disappearance, but It haa resisted all attack*. A recent photograph showing a group of allied statesmen tn conversation —Lloyd Oeorge, M. Clemenceau, and Baron Sonnlno — depicted them all wearing thia “emblem of western civilisation." There is considerable difference of opinion on the origin of the tall hat The Encyclopaedia Britannica unhesitatingly declares that the tall hat is “coextensive with civilisation," and asserts that It was invented in Florence about 1700. On the other hand, the London Tinies of January 16, 1707, reports that John Hetherington, haberdasher, of the Strand, was charged with causing a riot through wearing a hat “shaped like a stove-pipe." When brought before the magistrates be ds-i dared that all British citizens had the right of choosing the type of hat which I they believed most suitable. Earlier than this, however, In 1790, Benjamin Franklin visited Paris In a tall bat, and immediately the Parisian batmakers flooded the shops with similar hats, which, history tells us, “were adopted by the revolutionaries because they come from the land of liberty."

Rain water is “soft” because it contains no mineral matter. Owls have a peculiar method .of eating. They eat everything they want, whenever they find It, and swallow the “whole works”—whole. The Idea would be the same if you sat down to dinner and consumed the beefsteak, plates, napkins, tablecloth, knives, forks and spoons. After the owl has had this conglomeration in his department of the interior for some time, and it has been digested for all the nutrition there is in it, his organisms inside permit him to drop the refuse out through his mouth in the form of a hard-round pellet.—
