WATCH AMERICAN PAPERS. Germany Keeps Posted on What Correspondents Write Home.

William G. Shepherd in Everybody's strict watch is kept on, newspapers here in the United States by all the European belligerents. Befire the break Germany kept especially sharp eyes on the work of American correspondents in Berlin. Every word that is written about the war by correspondents in the warring countries is carefully analyzed by both sides, and woe to the war reporter in Europe who goes wrong. The censor fighting spirit will be taken out of him very quickly, The foreign office will hear of any delinquency on his part in short order, and he will be put on the carpet, if not sent home.

Not long ago in Berlin an Amarican correspondent was haled before an outraged censor, who showed him A clipping of one of his stories, taken from an American country newspaper. The headline of the story which had been stolen by the country newspaper from a metropolitan daily -was highly pro-enemy, and the country editor, in sarcastic vein, had black typed certain sentences in such a way as to make it appear that he considered them preposterous and unworthy of belief. The correspondent had to explan, at great length, tat he had not sent the story to the little country newspaper, and that he was not responsible for the headlines and the blackened type. Fully six weeks past before this correspondent was finally assured that the German war office did not hold him responsible for the story, six weelts being the time required for an agent in the United States to look up the little newspaper in question and verify the correspondent's explanation.

A Vanishing Art in Masonry. the June American Magazine David Grayson says: "In dry walls I think the old stone mason takes the greatest pride of all: for it is in the dry wall--I mean by that a wall laid without mortar-that the sheer art of the mason comes most into play.

Anyone can throw a wall together it he has mortar to make it atick, but a dry wall must stand out for what it 19, built solid from the bottom up, each stone resting securely upon the one below it, and braced and nested in by the sheer skill of the mason. The art of the dry wall is the ancient heritage of New England and speaks not only of the sincerity and the conscientiousness of the old puritan spirit, but strikes the higher note of beauty. Many of the older walls I know are worth going far to see, for they exhibit a rare sense of form and proportion, and are sometimes set 1n the landscape with a skill that only the master -artist himself could exceed. Those old, hard -wrought stone fences of the Burnham Hills and Crewsbury, the best of them, were honestly built, and built to last a thousand years. A beautiful art-one that is passing away! It the dry wall that stands of itself that old stone mason loves best of all." Mottoes For Kitchen.

So many readers have been interested in the suggestion that appeared a few weeks ago that appropriate mottoes could be painted on the walls of kitchen or dining room as a decorative and interesting border, that these mottoes, which appeared at the Chicago world's fair, on the walls of the model Rimford kitchen, are given: It is an irritating, nay more, a deeply saddening, problem for a wise dyspeptic to ponder the superabundance in this little world of ours of things cookable amid the extreme rarity of Maartens. The time indeed is at hand when systematic lectures on food will be part of medical education, when tho value of feeding in disease is admitted to be as important as the administration of medicines.It is vain to suppose that the poor should adopt better methods of choosing and preparing their food till they are furnished with better implements and utensils for cooking. -Rumford. Haste in the preparation is the ruin of stews. Curiosity, too, is 1 drawback.

The palate is the Janitor, and unless he be conciliated the most nutritious food will find no welcome. Some men like to talk of their business successes, and the rest would if they had ever had any.

How the Great American Game Has Proved War Pastime for the Britons. They are playing baseball in England. What is more, they are playing it with a zest and enthusiasm such as the game has never known before. What the people of America long thought impossible is now an accomplished fact. The great American game has spanned the Atlantic and taken firm root in British soil.

The war has taught England, among other things, a wholesome respect and a growing fondness for the sports of other nations. Baseball is a great game. In the opinion of those who know it, no other sport can rival it. But a sport has to be understood before it can be ciated. No matter how great it may be people must know it, have seen it, played it and understood something of its rules, before they can appreciate it.

That has been the great trouble in England. The people did not understand baseball. The coming-ot the war completely upset athletic sports but the general effect has been to stimulate interest in baseball. This has been due. primarily to the presence of a great number of Canadian and American soldiers who were either convalescing from wounds received at the front or were being whipped into into shape at the enormous camps established for that purpose.

The leading people in England have been quick to appreciate the need of wholesome entertainment for these men. And as baseball seemed to be the thing they most craved, why baseball became the order of the day, It must be understood that thirty thousand Americans and several hundred thousand Canadians have enrolled in English armies since the beginning of the war. Practically all these men have been doted followers of baseball and many of them amateur players of no small ability. Baseball in America is a growth. People have played the game when they were young.

They have read about the game for many years. They feel it, live it. But without that fifty years of preparation baseball even in America would not be the game it is. Efforts have been made by military authorities to increase the general scope of baseball this summer and I look for a bigger season than ever before. There ore now twenty baseball clubs playing around London.

There are six at Liverpool. Baseball has caught on in other cities. The time is ripe for a great expansion of baseball interest. A campaign is being conducted to provide suitable trophies for A large number of schools so as to get the younger generation instilled with a knowledge of baseball. In this way the game can secure that foundation in the love of the people without which it can never flourish.

The future of baseball in England is, of course, problematical. But the game hag made a good start. And a good start is half the battle. 102 Yearn Old and Still Active. Among the Interesting People in the June American Magazine is Thomas Wardall of Seattle, born in 1815.

He is healthy, happy and active. Questioned to what he attributed his longevity, and extreme activity, Wardall replied in a steady, soft but decided tone: never think evil of any one. I am master of my own thoughts, and I call upon the angels to assist me to walk in the pahis that lead to true happiness. Each man is the artificer of his own fortune. He lays his own foundation, and builds upon it.

"He has lived 36,500 days; trans. lated into hours, the total is 876.000: into minutes 52,560,000. He has drawn 26.280,000 normal breaths; his heart has beaten 105,120,000 times.

Eating three meals a day, he has taken 109,000 meals, which, figuring sixteen ounces of food per meal, would amount to 547 tong of fond. enough to load a good -sized ship.
