A remarkable suggestion regarding
the cruisers Goeben and Breslau is
made by sailor, who writes from
Malta:
~ suppose you have read about the
German ships Goeben and Breslau-
how they were supposed to have
lodged our fleet. 1t is pack of lies,
as we could have torpedoed
them easily, but we had orders not
to fire on them just as we were within
range"
Trooper E.. Tugwell, who has re.
turned wounded to his home at Ber'
wick, states:
"The most terrible thing is the iron
discipline of the Germans. Near to
Cambria one of our cavalry regiments
ran full tilt into a battalion of Ger.
man infantry. They flung down THEN
rifles, and ran for all they were
worth, with the exception of one
company, whose officers commanded
to stand.
'"They faced round without attempt
ing to fire shot and stood there lik:
statues to receive the onslaught Of
our men. Our lads were bound t.
admire their iron discipline, but yo,
can't make way for sentiment in war
and our men rode straight at then
with the lance. They were swep
away, and our fellows took most O.

"Later there were signs that tn
German discipline wasn't so good, an>
I fancy they are putting worse troop

A vivid story Of the sinking of tn

WOULD AsRocArE TREATY.

Speaking on the question of Pan.
anna Canal Tolls, Senator Chamber
lain of Oregon, denounced the move
ment to repeal the tolls provisions at
the request of Great Britain and de-
clared his desire to 60 farther and
repeal the Hay-Pauncefote treaty en-
tirely in the following words:
II am not prepared to believe that
this Senate intends to 60 on record
as reversing itself on the subject of
relieving American ships engaged in
the coastwise trade of Canal tolls"
says Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon.
He continued:
I'VE have been led to understand
that there is desire in certain quar-.
tiers that this particular portion of the
Canal Act shall be repealed. l am
not able to convince myself that l
was wrong when I voted for this ex-
emption, and I shall adhere to my

be right and sound.

to treat all nations other than the

IF we yield now to Great Britain
and repeal this toll exemption, she
will be in an excellent position to
come back and protest against that
other provision forbidding steamships
owned and controlled by railroads to
use the canal. We must yield on
that, If we are weak in the first in.

firm to the end"

foolish, sickening attempt to correct
It?
