AMERICAN SPIRrr-A SMALL MIsTAKE.-It will be
in the recollection OF our readers that we announced
on Saturday the arrival In Cove, OF q United States
pilot schooner, 81 tons, direct from N. York having
on board gentleman-supposed to be the bearer OF
official despatches--who at once proceeded to Lon
don On her arrival in Cove Harbor, with the
American flag flying at the mast head, a Lieut. OF
H. M. s. Vanguard was despatched by order, as
we understand. of the Admiral, TO require that
the flag should be at once taken down. The
officer with much courtesy, asked him down to the
cabin-and having been made acquainted with the
object of his visit, the Americans reply was cha
racteristic-"So long as | have an arm to pull q

an ample apology, TO the effect that seeing the vessel

American vessel, and that the flag OF that nation

nothing in all history glaringy dishonest and un-

territory to the imperial robbers who sat in consul

over their own country-over states already con-

Domini, 1915, conspired to pounce upon indepen-

robbers right. They violated treaties on which the
ink was hardly dry; they approprla ted territory
over which they had no jurisdiction; they parcelled
doms-they annexed Saxony and tore the Polish
nation limb from limb asunder. AS hounds make
