BRITISH DENY A
GERMAN ATTACK
Bombardment of French Port Was
by a Land Gun, Reports
Allies Aviators.

London, May IA British offic-
ial statement given out last evening
says it is not true that German war
ships have bombarded Dunkirk on
the coast of France.
The statement, which was issued
by the British press bureau, is as
follows:
1.-THE rumor that German war
ships bombarded Dunkirk is untrue.
This rumor probably originated in a
misleading of the French official
issued yesterday"
Another British official statement
given out last evening said:
"The Smelling of Dunkirk is now
reported by aerial reconnaissance
to have been from a land gun, and
the reports that German warships
were off that port were due to mis-
apprehension"

eral long tunnels, and the Caucasus
mountains are to be tunneled by a
bore which is to be not less than
1925 miles long.
In the Alpine region the Simplon
and Lotschberk tunnels have proved
that length combined with great over
lying depth Is no longer an insur-
mountable obstacle, and that a high
rate of progress can be attained with
the assistance of modern tunneling
methods, machinery and proper or

In this country several large pro-

it is but question of a few years
before the Rockies and other ranges
will be pierced by long and deeply
overlaid tunnels, serving the purpose
of eliminating heavy grades, sharp

AMERICAN sNoBBERY.
Should Give Way to New Baptism
of Faith in Our Greed Of Liberty.

ShouIo Give way to New Baptism
Of Faith in Our Greed Of Liberty.
1t is time for all Americans to have
new baptism of faith in the old
American creed of liberty and pop
ular self-government, says the Re-
view of Reviews. Until recently 1t
was not the fashion in this country
to approve of the institutions of roy
atty or of privileged aristocracy. But
along with the growth of great for
tunes In America there has been
evolved kind of snobbery that has
sadly infected some American men
and great number of American
women. There has been shameless
and disgraceful readiness to transfer
American women plus money to the
support of titles and hereditary priv
ilege in Europe. The greatest and
best things Of England, France, Ger
many, Austria and Italy have been
won in spite of the heavy handicap
of aristocracy and privilege in asso-
citation with the military caste. The
evils of aristocratic systems must
not be ignored merely because many
individual members of the aristocracy
are virtuous, cultured, and worthy
members of society. Even the Ger
man emperor, despite his medieval
fanaticism and assertion of divine
authority, is a most interesting and
attractive figure in his great versa
tility; and he stands out unquestion-
ably, in American opinion, as the
most popular of all hereditary rulers.
But the systems that he represents
do not make for the welfare of mod
ern peoples, nor for their security
and peace.

He Was Quite Slow

The shy young man had been calling
on the sweetest girl in the world for
many moons, but, being bashful, his
suit progressed slowly. Finally she
decided it was up to her to start some
thing, so the next time he called she
pointed to the rose in his buttonhole
and said: 'Tll give you kiss for that
rose."
A crimson flush overspread his coun-
tenance, but the exchange was made
after some hesitation on his part.
Then he grabbed his hat and started
to leave the room.
"Why, where are you going?" she
asked in surprise.
"To the-er-florist for more roses"
he called from the front door.
