German armored liner.
Ii the German commander per-
sists in his intentions TO make re-
pairs and proceed, the chances are
he will hardly more than poke the
nose Of his ship across the three
mile line before the watching war
ships open fire.
That England expects the Eitel to
oc destroyed if she leaves Newport
News is indicated by the intimatlon
conveyed to the United States by
the British ambassador that all but
German subjects should be taken off
the steamer before she is permitted
to put to sea.
Ambassador Spring Rice infor-
mally told Secretary Bryan and Coun-
se!or Lansing that there was not the
slightest chance Of the Eitel getting
five miles out to sea before she ls
sunk, and he declared that this Gov
ernment would be acting only Z
humane part in taking over all who
desire to leave the commerce des-
Iroyer.
Latest reports received here In
dicate that there are three British
and one French cruiser close at hand
waiting.
Because of this fact officials are IN

NOVEL.-Most of the sissies and
mollycoddles among boys and young
men of the present generation are
made by the great flood of sex Htera-
ttlre, according to ]. w. Searson, pro-
fessor of English at Kansas State Ag-
riculture college.
mick Carter" "Old King Brady"
and even the Jesse James" series
make far better reading for boys than
any of the popular sex stuff, Prof.
Searson told the national council of
English teachers at their recent Chi
cago convention.
Let your boy read Diamond Dick
and the rest of the nickel brand"
said Searson. 'Tt will create a hun
ger for stories like Tvanhoe,' Red
Stocking and the works of Poe and
Stevenson"
Just at this point, opinion will di-
vide the domestic camp. Mothers in
variably condemn Diamond Dick
and all his company. Most fathers
will probably uphold the Kansas pro-
fessor. And undoubtedly there is
much to be said for any reading mat
ter which will feed the normal BOYS
need of adventure.
Adventure, to the boy, means
action and action in his natural state.
Any motive which develops heroism
and idealism in conduct must benefit
the boy.
Even though stories of the "Dia-
mond Dick brand are highly unreal

in them and evil perishes.
This desirable result is not always,
clear in the sex stuff which Searson
condemns.

RAILROAD co. ALLEGED TO
HAVE VIOLATED INJUNCTION

Having disregarded, it is alleged,
the temporary injunction issued TO re-
strain the O,-W. r. & n. Co. from
building a fence across the street
leading to the Echo depot. P. {,
Hunter, station agent at Echo was
this morning ordered forthwith to ap-
pear in the circuit court to show
cause why he should not be pun
ished for contempt of court.
Judge Phelps issued the order up
on the statement of District Attorney
Steiwer who appears for the city OF
Echo, that the crew OF O.W. labor
ers had gone ahead with their fence
after the injunction had been served
upon them. Deputy Sheriff Blakely
served the order OF citation this
morning.
According to the story brought
from Echo, Mr.. Hunter told the crew
to so ahead with the fence, claiming
that he was not on duty when the in
junction was served and, hence, was
not at that time officially the agent
at Echo.
