probability, nothing.
As an affront against the United
States, the discharge OF a torpedo
beneath the United States oil tanker
Gulfiight is more serious than the
destruction of the Lnsitania. This is
rue Notwithstanding the hundred or
more Americans who went down with
the Lusitania, as compared with the
three who lost their lives in the at
taek on the Gulflight by a German
submarine.
The Gulflight not only is an
American vessel under American re-
gistry but at the time she was struck
by q German torpedo she was flying
The United States flag and the stars
mud stripes were painted on her sides
in large figures.
The Lusitania was British-owned
and British-registered and few the
British flag. What Is more she had
on board almost a million dollars
worth Of c%ontraband Of war, includ-
Ing ammunition. Americans had
been repeatedly warned by the Ger
man government not to take passage
on any British vessel passing through
the water war zone established by
the Germans.
If the United States protests
agaInst the destruction Of the Lusi-
tania, y will be against an attack
upon 2 vessel belonging to one Of
the belligerents. That would. in a
measure, be making the British cause

county attached to an assault case as It
has In the Nelson-Luff case, near Mar

county are without expressed opinions as
to the guilt or innocence OF Fred Luff

Nelson.
Luffs preliminary hearing takes place
before the county judge next Wednesday
and Il seems probable that the court

swedes from Kronberg and Marquette.
Luff is Dane and Nelson Is a swede.
Miss Mary Peterson OF Marquette will
probably be the principal witness for the
state. She is the young woman who was
being courted by both Luff and Nelson.
She IL reported to have told the officials
that Luff had made threats against Mel

When Luff was shot IN the back OF the
head = few nights later, the theory was
advanced that both Nelson and Luff had
been the victims OF some one of the nu-

The CHARM
OF MOTHERHOOD
Enhanced By Perfect Physi-
cal Health.

The experience of fMotherhoodis Is try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly en- epoch in their lives. Not one
womanjn a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how TO properly care for her
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial of strength, and when it is over
her system has received a shock from
which It is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the nervous strain
of caring for the child, and \ distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
q happy and healthy mother Of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence Of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
an unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which 70 prepare, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, a most valuable tonic and
invigorstor of the female organism.

Eyes, little book, 1 know it has
been weeks since l last talked to you,
but 1 have not been living most of
the time. have only been conscious
of one prayer-"Oh God, please do
not let me thinkr Yesterday, how
ever, l came to the conclusion that
perhaps the load would be little
lighter if l talked to you about it.
The next day after the party told
you of, Mollie's invitations went out
and for the following two weeks it
was just one round of gaiety, and
much to Dicks disgust, he had to go
with me almost every night to one
party after another.
Eleanor Fairlow was not at any of
the festivities of the last week, and
made up my mind l would not think
of her any more, and things went on
beautifully until the day of Mollie's
wedding. She had elected to be mar
ried on Saturday night-an evening
wedding. The night before Dick had
been out of town, and as he, as usual,
did not write to me l got very ner-
vous toward evening for fear he was
not coming home in time to give his
sister away in marriage. l had tele-
phoned to the Office earlier in the day
and they had told me "Mr. Waverly
is out of town, but we expect him
late in the afternoon"
About o'clock l became so ner-
vous that 1 put on my hat and coat
and, taking the car, drove down
town.
There was no one in Dicks private
Office and as the boy left me there
and said he would see when Mr..
Waverly would be back l looked
about hurriedly and was just about to
sit down quietly when amy eye fell
upon large, square, white envelope,
addressed with dashing hand, on
his desk.
Something clutched my heart with
