The Record Of Semmes And OF
German Submarines.

Was the Confederacy fighting for
its very existance"? Was an attempt
made Ito starve its civilian populat-
ion'? Ask the blockade runners and
the women and the children of Civil
War days, to whom scorched rye
coffee" was luxury and who lived
chiefly on corn pone.
If ever there was government whose
self preservation" called for '.any
possible way I'd iDjure the enemy, -
that government was the Confederacy.
Germany's excuses for drowning and
Staying innocent women and children,
non-combatants and neutrals, would
have applied With even greater force to
the South.
And yet, consider the record of Raph-
ael Semmes. commander Of that famous
commerce destroyer, the Alabama. In
twenty-five months he boarded 1856 yes
sci. sank So, took 1000 persons off ship
or the enemv, and in all this not one
woman or child was killed or drowned
not single neutral nor noncomb9tant
lost life..
The Confederacy ia led, it is true,
but the slaughter of unarmed innocents
would not have saved it. And defeat
ed as it was it has left a record of
decency and humanity. not to mention
devotion ard heroism, in which all
Americans and their children children
may take just pride.
Will coming generations of Germans
have cause to boast of the work of the
Kaiser's submarines and Zeppelins and
their slaughter of the innocent and the
defenseless?

A Rubber Armor plate.

Andrew Setzinger, a Pittsburgh po.
liceman, has invented d shock absorb
er for battleships and other armored
vessels. By his method the armor
plate is lined with rubberlike sub
stance, thickly studded, and made by
process which he has invented.
According to Mr.. Setzinger, when
a projectile penetrates the armor
plate, even should 1t pass through
into the ship, the hole cut out will
close up through the action of the
rubberlike substance, which vulcan
ICES from the heat caused by the
friction from the projectile. This will
keep the water out. This process, it
was said, has been tested on a small
scale and found efficient. It was
stated that foreign government is
now arranging for a test of it with
Iarge-caliber guns.

almost invaEi .bIe to place the credit
where it does not belong.
Nine men out Of ten think f'hat THE
Lord tempers the wind TO the shorn
lamb is from the Bible. whereas Law
renee Sterne is the author Pouring
oil upon the troubled waters is also
aseribed to the sacred volume, whereas it
IS pot there; in fact, no one knows its
origin.
Again we hear the people say, THE
proof of the pudding is in chewing the
string This is arrant nonsense. and
the proverb says, 1.-THE. proof of the
pudding is in the eating thereof, and
not in chewing the string"
Nothing is more common than to hear:
"A man convinced against his will
Is still of-the same opinion still. y
This is an impossible condition Of the
mind, for no one can be canvinced of
one opinion and at the same time hold
to an opposite one. What Butler
wrote was eminently sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still.
A famous passage of Scripture is
often misquoted thus: tHe that is
without sin among you, let him cast the
first stone" 1t should be, '.let him
first cast a stone"
Sometimes we are told, Behold how
great fire little matter kindleth, =
whereas st. James said, Behold how
great matter little fire kindleth, !"

We also hear that miss is as good
as mile, which is not as sensible or
forcible as the true proverb, "A miss
of an inch is as good as mile.'

these lines are not to be found in
Hudibras. The nearest approach to
them is,

The verses were written by Goldsmith.
Pope is generally credited with having
written \
.Immodest words admit to no defense,
Forwant of decency is want of sense, !"
though it would puzzle any enc to find
the verses in his writings. They were
written by the Earl of Roscommon,
who died before Pope was born.
Franklin said, Honesty is the best
policy, 5" but the maxim is of Spanish
origin, and NAV be found in the Don

To accomplish this work there has
been sunk from the basement of the
new Rosenwald geology building a con-
crete pillar six feet by ten, sixty feet
into the earth to bed rock. The top of
the pillar is covered with slate and on
it are placed three seismographs to
measure earth vibrations Two OF these
instruments are inventions of Prof.
Albert A. Nicholson Of the phisics de-
Partment.
The seismograph will measure longi-
tudal and vertical vibrations and by
computations from these measurements
the earth's composition may be ascer-
tanned. --'
Thus the molten section. commonly
termed "hades." of this sphere, can be
located.

In union camps, Mr.. Lawson testified,

There are IA indictments charging
murder. arson, two assault with intent
to kill and some for restraint of trade.
Altogether, he said. 5000 coal miners
were under Indictment in Colorado, and
not an operator has been indicted.
Mr.. Lawson said he was shot down
some years ago by an operator. The
operator was arrested by a friend and
hearing came up, Mr.. Lawson said, the
case should not be pressed as lit was
a charge growing out of a strike" So
the operator was discharged.

At the same time the central powers,

Serbia is considered more likely 10

Macedonia demanded by Bulgaria.
Serbia knows that IL simultaneously

be sealed before the Allies could make
any diversion TO draw of the invading
army.
Once Serbit had been crossed and

and Austrian army could pour arms
into Turkey 10 aid in the defence
against the Gallipoli expedition. IL. on
the other hand Serbia makes the sac

situation will be changed. The central
powers will face in the Balkan states
