FALABA LOSS Up
T0U. S, 'THEYSAY
British Papers Point to the
Death of American
Citizen.

Germany's Violations of War Laws
Demand Prompt Action. Is

ALSO LOOK TO GREECE
BY JOHN C. FOSTER.

BY JOHN 4. tOSlER.
London. March 31.-English news
papers devote considerable space toda!
to comment upon the fact that ar
American citizen lost his life when the
| liner Falaba was sunk by German
submarine and predict that sharp &C.
ton will be taken by the United States
government. They assert that the sub
marines attack was evidence tina,
: Germany has no regard for intcrna-
tional rights
According to the newspapers. the
Greek government will also take
cognizance of the sinking of the Falaba
| because Q citizen Of Greece also lost
his life.
The American victim of the German
sea raider was Leon Chester Thrasher,
an engineer employed by the Broomassie
Mines Company. He was bound for West
! Africa when the Falaba was sunk. II
was stated at the office of the Broomassie
Mines Company today that nothing had
been heard from Thrasher since the
Falaba was sunk and the officials had
abandoned hope that he was among those
rescued.
The Greek citizen who persisted when
the Flaba was sunk was n. Antonopoulos,
an Anthenian merchant. His friends state
that he had stayed in England for sew
eral months in fear to return home lest
the ship be sunk. but business affairs
finally compelled him to depart.
The Daily Mail takes the lead to-
day in dema nding reprisals against
Germany for what the British term
1.-The deliberate murder OF inoffensive
English civilians and neutrals."
Whether the United States gov
eminent does or does not demand
satisfaction for this breach of inter-
n lax rph
concerned" says the Mail. lit will not
directly affect the British people. Their
task is to see first that the actual
murderers are sunk and those who or
dered and instigated those murders
punished"
The Mail dwells at length upon the
death of Thrasher. saying in part:
Question Up to United states.
THE question whether the United
States government will permit beliger-
ent % destroy an unoffending passenger
ship in which one OF its subjects en-
barked without giving them an oppor-
tunity to escape is thus raised in the
sharpest form.
THE captain of the Prinz Eitel Fried
rich transgressed one of the established
laws of the sea by sinking the American
ship William p. Frye, though without
the sacrifice OF American life. The cap
tain of the Us has transgressed yet
another law-that requiring every ship
10 be sent before a prize court for con-
demr ton.
In sinking the Falaba on the high
seas with a torpedo he apparently killed
an American. He has broken that ordi-
nance of God and man which commands
that human beings aid helpless enemies
by callously refusing assistance when
his victims were struggling in the water
and permitting his crew to jeer at their
sufferings. His offense against interna-
tional law was aggravated by the brutal
of the law of humanity

Springfield, ILL.,. March 3l.-The Harri-

Did Not Disagree.
Commenting on recent statement
made by Chairman Chamberlain, Of the
Senate Military Committee, that be fav-
ored progressive legislation for the army.
Secretary Garrison expressed gratifica-
ton. 1T is mistake to assume" said
Mr.. Garrison. that Senator Chamberlain
and l disagreed about the necessity or
desira bility of the measures purposed; our
disagreement was over the wisdom of
asking for more. The Senator was in
clined to the opinion that it would be
better to lay complete and comprehen-
sive bill before the Congress and require
it to deal Herewith, while felt that that
would not be the likely way to get re-
suits. The expressed views of Senator
Chamberlain are all along the lines of the
military policy being advocated and pur-
sued by the department.: and l am de-
lighted at this renewed evidence of the
activity and interest in military
matters"

Boston Symphony Concert.

The Boston Symphony Orchestra, DR..
Karl Muck. conductor, gave it's second
concert of the season at the New Ma
tional Theater yesterday afternoon,
with Fritz kreisler, the distinguished
violinist as soloist. Brahms Sym
phony in Z Minor tNo. A, and Bizet's
suite, 'LArlesienne." were the orches-
trail numbers of the program, with
Tschaikow Concerto in d Ma jor'
as the Offering of the soloist supported
by the orchestra. The appearance of
Mr. kreisler was greeted with a great
volume of applause, which was renewed
with even greater vigor al the close of
his number. There were those who de-
clared that the symphony, which is said
to be too profound for appreciation by
the average audience. was, on this oc-
casion, quite within reach of lovers of
music, and really enjoyable. The Bizet
selection, however, was thought to have
possessed greater charm.

THE ELECTRIC CENTURY.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1879

The nineteenth century was the age
of steam. The twentieth century will
be the age of electricity.
Electricity is like Deity. Nobody
knows what it is. Yet its powers are
unmistakable. We can learn it's ways,
adjust our machinery to its influences
and by it perform miracles. But it is
like the spirit that fills the twice born,
Thou nearest the sound thereof, but
canst not tell whence it cometh nor
whittier it goeth"
1t seems to be the eventual common
denominator of all physical forces. BY
and by tide power, steam power, hand
power and horse power will become
transmitted into electric power.
Already we are on the road to this.
Where once was the lonely grist mill
by the dam there now is an electric
powerhouse that reaches its wire arms
out over hundreds of miles of territory.
turning all manner of wheels, lifting,
transporting, heating. lighting.
We have not begun to utilize the vast
resources of water power. When all
the streams shall have been harnessed
and the electric yoke put on the neck of
falling water there will be such an
increase of mechanical creative activity
The prediction has been made that
within the next few years all steam
railroads in. the United States would be
electrified.
AS the steam locomotive ousted the
prairie schooner and the stage coach,
SO the electric engine will replace
steam
AS one man with steam can do the
work of 100 men with horses, so one
man with electricity can do the work
of 100 men with steam.
With electricity the mechanical prog
ress of the race changes from arith-
metica! to geometrical progression
What have we not already done with
this uncanny force, divinely potent, as
II is divinely hidden. By it the myriad
through the streets, under the streets,
above the streets, By it the innumer-
able homes and offices of the city be-
come intimate and we talk as If face
to face. BY it distant capitals are
brought into immediate communication.
Ships speak, out of sight, through
storm and wind. Continents converse.
Distance is annulIed Humanity sits
together in one room.
No prognosis seems too wild to be
true For the possibilities of this
strange sap of the world appear mex
haustible.
All mills shall run by it, all lathes
turn, sewing machines operate. ice
pldHiS IuHctioil anu iadiatoiS hea. pS
it. 1t will be the heart, sending blood
and life to the remotest capillary of the
community.
The greatest battleship of the world.
now building, is to be run entirely by
electricity.
Already wires are being discarded.
Wireless messages fash half way
around the earth.
The modern dynamo is only about
forty four years old. Men now living
remember when there were no tele-
graphs, telephones, arc lamps, incan-
descent bulbs, electric trolleys, sub
ways and railway engines, no N-rays,
electric heaters nor wireless stations
The hearts of men will learn to thrill
in unison by this strange force. and
shall flow together, and the wretched
provincialism of war. and the fanatic
heats of patriotism shall dissolve into
the oneness of humanity, working to-
gether. each for all, all for each.
