Dredge Bottom of Bay For Copper Plunder
(Special to The Times.)
AI.PKNA, Mich. Sept. 15. —To

bunting now for copper mined to
fight the soutli, and burled since
them in the crumbling hold of the
old Pewabic in stormy Thunder
Bay.
With some of the trappings of
the hunt for pirate Bold, but also
with 20th century machinery, they
are taking out of Davy Jones' lock
er a treasure because the war has
made copper worth 3. r > to 37 cents
a pound, Instead of 8 to 12 cents.

metal hands, is furnished with
eyes by diving suits just invented
in which men go down 200 feet.

In two months the Leavltt

nest of dead men's bones $40,000
worth of copper and other salvage
and expects to double that.

This modern wrecking expedi
tion in the "graveyard of the
Great Lakes," within sight of a
beach where hundreds of ships
have been lost, brings the strange
flavor of the ear-ringed romantic
days of buried treasure into the
matter-of-fact present_ of steam

COUNT PACKS
UP HIS GRIP

BUENOS AIHKS, Sept. 15.—
Count liiixliurg was still packing
up today while massed police
guards patrolled the German le
gation to guard him from possi
ble demonstrations.
I'iosldont Irigoyen, It was an
nouncod, would grant the depa"'
iriK envoy "a reasonable time" In
which to utilize the passpprt
handod him hocause of America's
revelation of how Luxnurg secret
ly cabled Berlin thru the Swedish
legation to sink Argentine ships
"without leaving a trace."
From authoritative sources. It
was reported Luxhprg hopes to go
to Paraguay, instnad of Germany,
hcing accredited there as minister,
and retaining the Argentine post
until some more propituous time
for his return.
His admission into Paraguay Is
uncertain. The press of ARMn
cion. commenting today, declared
Lnxburg would be personally wel
come but not officially so. Thp
government him not yet made its
position clear.
Prominent Germans here adopt
ed formal resolutions last night
blaming Luxburg for all the trou
ble. A number of representative
Swedish citiaens likewise met and
le.solved that Minister I-owel of
Sweden was entirely responsible.
Forgetfulness
BY BKIITON tIRALUV
L#t the old things go!
For the past Is a thing that's
dead;
Vanished is last years' snow
And yesterday's dreams have
fled.
Old loves, old friends?—but they
Are part of our glad today,
Part of tomorrow, too,
Forevermore glad and new.
Let the old things go!
Old thoughts, old pains, old
hates,
Old prejudice, grim and blind—
Let us cldse the dead past's
gates
On these; let us leave behind
The empty and outworn 1 things;
Let us turn our eyes ahead
To the morrow and what it brings;
For wlmt Is dead—ls dead.
And yesterday's flown,
helgho!
Let the old things go.

Here's a note from i.uk Ange

the other day by v very pretty girl
who was .11 M nil on a charge of
nonpayment of a hotel bill. The
maiden said she was not a motion
picture acinus, never naW a studio,
never wanted to see one, and nev
er heard of J. Warren Kerrigan.
She was Immediately discharged.
The manager of the hotel begfted
her to come back and Mtay at his

So it Ik not true that every pret

twinkler, or claims to be, when a
bit of notoriety is In the offing.
