Teutonic allies claim successes at

the Teutons are becoming less fire.

Sioux City, May 11.-W. f.
Holmes. secretary of the Commercial
club. has returned from Fairfax, S.
D., where he attended a good roads
congress on Saturday. More than
$500 good roads enthusiasts were in
attendance, and about half of this
number were present at a like meet
ing at Jordan Sunday. according to
Mr.. Holmes. Plans for pushing the
working on the Washington Memo

ings. The sessions in both towns
were in charge of Col. Charles w.
Thatcher. promoter of the Washing
ton highway, assisted by commercial
club secretaries. Col. Thatcher de-
livered addresses on his project of
establishing the coast TO coast high
way, and said that he had enjoyed
success in every town and city he has
visited thus far.
Towns as far south as Vermillion,
in South Dakota, and many north be-
yond Winner were represented. said
Mr.. Holmes. The local secretary
opened the meeting at Fairfax with
a talk in which he declared that Sioux
City was supporting the road and
would do all ii could toward pushing
the highway through Iowa and South
Dakota this summer. j. A. Johnson

the vicinity of Fairfax and pledged
the support OF the people there.
A similar meeting and barbecue
will be held June s at Vermillion. an

FORTUNE OF WAR
COMMENT OF CAPT. TURNER OF
THE ILL-FATED LUSi-
TANIA.

Question:, May 1l.-Capt. Tur-
ner commander of the Lusitania. has
refused so far to make any formal
statements. His first remark on
landing was one of quiet irony.
Well" he said, 1T is the fortune
of war"
The captain secluded himself dur
ng the night in apartments over the
town bank, but was able to be about
tater in uniform. He displayed great
grief over the loss of his vessel, but
has expressed no opinion ON the ac-
tion of the Germans.
Capt. Turner remained on the Lu-
~sitania's bridge until she was sub
merged, and then climbed up a lad
der as would a diver from a tank.
When he reached the surface he
grasped an oar and then a chair. He
lung to the chair for nearly two
hours, and finally, when the chair
turned yer he flung up a gold braid
ed arm. This was seen by a member
of the crew in one of the boats and
thus the commander was saved. lie
was terribly broken down when he
landed, but after a strong cup of tea
and a short rest he seemed to recover
and appeared TO be nearly normal
Saturday.
None of the survivors had any com
plant TO make regarding the actions
of the crew. All agree that every
thing possible was done under the
circumstances.

bard, the author, was a passenger on
the Lusitania. which left New York
on May.1. He treated as a joke the
anonymous warnings that the vessel
would be sunk by a German subma-
rine. He said he thought perhaps the
"kaiser's warning" was directed
against both the Lusitania and him
self as the "Lusitania of literature. >

writings.

London, May 11.-"Why fear
death; it is the most beautiful exper-
fence of life" were the last words of
Charles Frohman before he went
down with the Lusitania, according
to Miss Rita Jolivet. an American
actress with whom he was calmly
talking just before the end came.
Miss Jolivet, who was among the
survivors taken TO Queenstown, said
she and Mr.. Frohman were standing
on the deck as the Lusitania heeled
over They decided not to trust
themselves to life boats although Mr..
Frohman believed the ship was DOOM
ed. 1t was after reaching this de-
cision that he had no fear of death.

Geneva, via Paris, May lids
patches from Munich, Bavaria, re-
ceived at Basel. say that the German
submarine U-39 sank the Lusitania.
There was great rejoicing Satur-
day in southern Germany, according
to the advices. Towns were befiag-
ged. especially along the Rhine and
the children had a half holiday in
honor of the event.
The rejoicings are said to have
spread even to Vienna and Budapest.
IT is said that the general feeling in
Germany and Austria is that the
Americans on board the steamer had
been warned previously of their dan
ger and therefore they undertook the
voyage at their own risk.

FOR A STRICT ACCOUNTING

The fact that President Wilson has let it be
known that United States will hold Germany to
'strict accountability for the loss of American
lives on board the Lusitana and the attacks on the
Gulflight and the Cushing, must be accepted as
meaning no more and no less than literal inter-
probation of that phrase. 1t does not commit the
White House to a policy even If Germanys
accounting shall not be regarded satisfactory to
this nation. 1t leaves that for future determina-
ton. 1t merely indicates to the people OF the
United States that the President has decided upon
firm and definite course to find out what Germany
has got to say for herself with respect to the latter
eountry's connection alleged connection with the
incidents referred to.
The President has not said that if the accounting
is not satisfactory there will be war. Whatever
may be the reply of Germany to the demands for
an accounting, the Presidents hands, far con-
Germs anything he has said thus far the subject,
are left free that he can act in accordance with
his best judgment and the Judgment Of those whose
advice he may seek, in determining what to do next
when Germany makes answer.
In other words the communication that the White
House has indicated will be sent to Germany in
about one week, will in no be in the nature
of an ultmatum. The text of that communication
has not yet been framed, for wisely the President
has determined to take plenty of time to consider
what its exact contents shall be that. it may be
written after mature thought and deliberate judg-
ment, but it will be communication opening the
way for augmentation and explanation. 1t wi
not be gauntlet hurled down in the heat of passion
in way that would leave Germany alternative
but to reply in kind; but rather it will open the
way for dispassonate discussion by inviting Ger
many to present what she has to say to justify to
disprove responsibility for the acts attributed to
her to which this Government is forced to take ex-
ception.
The President s plan does not PREJUDICE Germany.
1t contemplates nothing until Germanys side is
heard 1t opens the way for Germany and the
United States to enter into dignfed argument
in an open minded manner. If Germany displays
the same far-mnded attitude fair determination
of the controversy can be reached,
What the further policy of this country shall be
can be determined only after it is known what Ger
many's attitude is going to be in the matter.

ciated but not many years afterward it began to
be discovered limitations of his works became
numerous. When printing was invented in Ger
many and many editions of his poetry appeared the
thoughts of 'the man who had walked in He'll .

pieces on printed pages inspired masterpieces on

In the centuries that have intervened since that
time commentaries on the works of Dante have ap-
peared in great numbers and numerous translations
in many languages have been attempted. In English
language are the British translation by Byron and
the American by Longfellow. Both translatOrs have
done their work WE'LL yet scholars who know the
original as well as the translations of the opin-
ion that the latter convey little of the beauty of
the former.
That there never will be final translation of
Dante into English seems certain Yet even if read
through imperfect interpreters the divine" poet
has charms for modern Americans. His "Divine
Comedy" is to-day as wonderful as when Boccac-
clio read it shortly after it was penned. Preserved
and studied for six centuries it is less worth
pursuing now

SIX CENTURIES OF DANTE

The six hundred and fftieth anniversary this
month of the birth of Dante is being commemorated
by colleges and universities in all parts of the world
The author of the Divine Comedy has taken his
place in the literary Hall Of Fame with Homer and
Shakespeare. The three names mean much to man
kind. Admirers of the great Florentine are now
endeavoring on the anniversary of his birth to
awaken wider interest in his works. 1t is to IL
hoped that they will succeed in their purpose
1t is said that at the death of Dante in 1921 a
papa legate nearly succeeded in designs to have the
poet body and his works consigned to flames The
man who is now most actively interested, however,
in the observance of the six hundred and fftieth
anniversary is the Archbishop of Ravenna and the
celebration has received blessing and cash sub
scrption from the Pope.
