First Christian
Church Notes

The difference In knowing about
God and actual acquaintance with
Him was the leading thought OF the
morning sermon last Sunday morn
ing. The text was Heb. s. IL. In the
old days there had been direct com
municatlon between God and n chos-
en- few but under the new covenant
every mnn could have direct access
to God. Job was able to say II have
heard Of Thee by the hearing OF the
ear. but now my eyes see Thee Il
that could be said then the one say
Ing Il could understand the differ
ence between hearsay religion and ex
perlence.
They all" showed how far the
promise OF the text extended. No fay-
orod ones es In the days Of old. There
was true democracy in the gospel
In the universal possession OF the
life OF Christ. No man had the right
to assume authority ever the con
scienee OF the Christian. Dominion
and subsection, authority and submits

was shut out by the words and teach

INFECTED BY WATERS DEPTH
0sographers Have Found II Easy 10
Trace the Cause Of Tidal
I, Irregularities.

To be exact, there is only one ocean
in the world where the tides follow
the moon with regularity, and this Is
the great Antarctic basin. And the
reason IA that there Is the only place
a sweep Of water is to be found that
Is entirely uninterrupted by land.
The enormous waves caused by the
moons attraction course round tho
world south Of Cape Horn and the
Cape OF Good Hope. with absolutely
nothing to break them Here In our
northern hemisphere great masses OF
land interrupt the tidal waves and
combined with the shallowness OF the
finland seas, cause them to perform
lantics which seem most strange.
The depth OF the water has much
Ito do with the tidal Irregularities. Out
lin the open ocean. whore the tide is
labysmal-about five thousand fnthoms
the speed Of the waves Is amazing
Where the depth decreases to five
fathoms the tide cannot travel more
than fifteen miles an hour In Eng
land. for example. which Is surround
cd by narrow. land.broken seas, the
result is That they get some OF the
most dangerous tidal races and cur
rents to be found. The most formid'
able OF these ia the whirlpool between
the islands OF Jura and Scarba, on
ihe west coast Of Scotland. This Is
known as the "caldron Of the Spotted
Seas"
There the current runs at times at
The rate Of more than twelve miles an
hour, and the force OF heavy tidal
current rushing up to the wide
mouthed river forms what Is called a
bore" A most striking example Of
this tidal feature is often seen on the
Amazon. when n moving wall OF wa
ter, reaching from bank to bank and
TO n heis..t OF more than twenty feet,

Although Called Upon to Face New Enemy ill Italy, Austrians and Ger mans Do Not Relax Eff forts Elsewhere.
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1spArcHl

LONDON, May 26.-Although called upon to face another enemy in Italy, whose troops have crossed, the eastern border, the Austrians and Germans have not relaxed their efforts on the other fronts In the middle of Galicia they assumed the offensive against the Russians along the river San and claim to have met further success; while in Flanders and Artois the Germans con- tinue, according to French reports to make furious attacks in an effort to regain the ground taken from them in recent weeks and to hold that which they took from the British in the region of Ypres.
 The Italians, who crossed the from tier toward the Isonzo river have not vet met serious opposition. In fact no important battle is expected until the invaders reach the river as here the Austrians are established.
 Except for the German admission that the British captured part of their trenches to the northeast of Gi- venchi. reports from belligerent head quarters continue to contradict each other. one side claiming gains. while the other says all attacks were repulsed with heavy losses. So far as the west is concerned. however, the fighting. as has been the case for months consists largely of trench warfare. In Greece the illness of King Constantine. whose condition remains serious. has brought the political situation to a standstill and it is regarded as unlikely there will be any development until after the pending elections. The alleged tOrpe- doing of the American steamship Ne braskan was featured ia all the London papers. which describe the incident as another challenge to America"

LONDON, May 26.-The British bat tleship Triumph has been sunk in the Dardanelles This official announce ment was made tonight. The disaster is described in a brief statement by the admiralty. which says that while oper- ating in support of the Australian and New Zealand forces on the shore of the Gallipoli peninsula yesterday the TS- umph was torpedoed by a submarine and sunk shortly afterward. A major ity of the officers and men. including the captain and commander are report ed to have been saved. The submarine escaped.
 The battleship Triumph was built at Barrow in 1902 for the Chilean govern ment but was purchased by Great Bri- tain in 1903. She was laid down under the name of Libertad, a sister ship to the Constitution. which was also pur- chased from Chile and re-christened the Swifture.
 Since the war broke out the Fri umph has been operating both in the lar eastern and European waters. As the flagship of the British Asiatic squadron she participated in the bom barlment of the German base at Tsing Tau. China, last October and was re- ported to have been damaged by the shell fire of the German forts.
 After the fall of Tsing Tau the Fri umah returned to European waters and early in the present year began oper- ations with other units of the allied fleet against the Dardanelles. In the latter part of April. the Triumph bom- barded the Turkish trenches at the western end of the Gallipoli peninsula and afterward went into the Dardanel- les to search for trenches from differ ent angles. Here she came under the fire of the Turkish howitzer battery on the Asiatic shore. which dropped six teen shells around her and threw three missiles aboard. Little damage was done and only two men. a stoker and a oIuejacket. were wounded The bat tleship silenced the Turkish battery before retiring.
 A few days later, while landing oper- ations were proceeding the Triumph with other warships. in addition to GOV ering the landing. bombarded the forts of the Dardanelles to prevent rein- fOrcements reaching the Turks. from the sea of Marmora The Triumph was credited in official reports with having set fire to the town of Maidos during the bombardment.
 The Triumph was commanded by Captain Maurice F'itzmaurice Her crew of officers and men in times of peace numbered about TOO The vessel carried four 10-inch. fourteen 7.5-inch guns. fourteen 14-pounders and four G. pounders. In addition she carried two 1S-inch torpedo tubes

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The course of the United States government in the case of the American steamer Nebras kan damaged off the coast of Ireland was undetermined tonight because of ficials are without definite information as to whether the ship was torpedoed or struck a mine. Messages from Am bassador Page and Consul General Skinner at London transmitted the re- port the the British admiralty that the vessel was torpedoed. but officials not ed with much interest the captains re- port to his owners. indicating doubt as to whether the ship was hit by a tor pedo or a mine.
 Should it develop clearly that she was torpedoed without warning, aggra- vating circumstances will have been added to the alrady tense situation notwithstanding the fact that no lives were lost.
 The president himself read all the official and unofficial dispatches. In view Of the positive position of the United States has taken on the sub ject of submarine activity in the war zone and the delicate situation with Germany arising out of the Lusitania disaster, the story of the Nebra skans S

FINAL EFFORT
 ID SAVE FIVE
 FROM HANGING
All Other Means Having Been Exhausted, Appeal May Be Made to Federal Judge Sawtellc for Writs of Habeas Corpus.

Whether the five men condemned to die tomorrow at Florence will be exc cuted at that time is not known and will not be known until the period within which the execution has been ordered arrives. It may be, that when 1t appears that every other means to save the doomed men have been eX- hausted. an appeal may be made to the federal court, in the form of an appli- cation to Judge Sawtelle who is now at Tucson for writs of habeaS corpus. This matter is in the hands of Struck meyer and Jenckes neither of whom had left for Tucson last night as was expected. A member of the firm said that he could not say that application would be made but if that were de- termined upon today, there would still be time for that step.
 The application, it is stated. if made, will be based on the ground that the hanging of the men would be in con- trayention of the fourteenth amend ment to the constitution of the United States It was said, though not by either of these attorneys, that a mcre specific ground would be the tangle that grew out of the granting of re-
 
 pardons and paroles and the governor, to different dates, these reprieves hav- ing been granted before the decision of the supreme court, upholding the law creating the board of pardons and paroles.
 The applicants, if they proceed at all, will do so on the theory that an appeal from a possible order of the federal court denying the application, will act as a stay of execution until the matter can be finally determined in the Unit ed States courts, finally if necessary, by the supreme court of the United States. In the usual order a final de- termination would not likely be reached within the next two years and within that time the subject of capital pun ishment would again be submitted to the people of this state.
 The announcement day before yes terday that the board of pardons and paroles would meet at Florence on the eve Of the day set for the execution gave rise to the supposition that the

 One of the difficulties of the packers was temporarily cleared up when Am bassador Page at London cabled the state department that Sir Edward Gray had given assurances that the cases of the four ships and cargoes held up since last fall before the issu- ance of the order in the council, would go to trial in the prize court on June '. The complaint in these cases had been postponed for time after they were laid before the department yes trday, but request f6r diplomatic ac- ton was withdrawn. pending the out come of conferences between the pack CTS representatives and the British em- bassy.
 The proposed agreement now being considered would settle the cases of 27 other ships and cargoes detained under the order-in council.

 The outcome of this conflict is ex- pected to go far toward deciding the military mastery of Mexico, for the immediate future at least.
