 1t was upon the testimony of more than 200 witnesses, w'Ao described the instability of the Eastland and the defects in the engine plant part1cul- arly in the water ballast system, that the jurors thus answered the ques- tion: "Who is to blame?"
 It is possible that the grand jurors will indict at least three others, including the government checkers whose duty it was to allow no more than 2500 persons on the ship.
 The charge of granddaughter, as contained in the joint indictment against four officials of the company carries with it punishment, provided by statute, of imprisonment of iron one year to life.

 State Bank.

Maple Hill, Kan, Aug. 1O.-several robbers held more than 100 citizens of Maple Hill at bay early today while companions blew the vault or the Maple Hill State bank and escap- ed with $3,000. It is believed there were seven men in the band.
 The first explosion aroused the citl- zens, many of whom came into the streets half clad. They were met by armed men who kept them at bay un- til six further charges of the explo- sive had been fired. Fog prevented the citizens giving an adequate de- scription of any of the robbers.
 Several weeks ago the postoHlce here was blown, the robbers escap- ing with several hundred dollars Ill postage stamps.

sunk. It should have been granted
by Germany then. The fact that it
was not, and that Germany sought
to prolong the discussion and evade
the issue has created an impression
in this country that the German gov
eminent either disregarded or mis-
took the strength of the American
feeling on the subject. Evidently it
is now appreciated in Berlin that
the United States is in deadly earnest
in this matter, and that unless a
breach of relations between the two
countries is desired some practical
and dependable concessions must be
made. If those concessions are
granted, and if full reparation is made
for the losses our nationals have suf-
fered, the incident will have been
closed with great credit to President
Wilson for his firmness and his skill
in handling the situation.

to dwell upon the consequences, some

pany Now the department comes
forward to the relief of t1ea-infested

tually exterminated the flies by swat
ting and trapping, sticky paper has
not been much in evidence for a sea-

the Department of Agriculture will
doubtless cause a return of the COM

expert advice will be given by the

Germany Seeing the Light.

Present indications are that the
sinking of the Arabic will bring
about complete granting by Ger
many OF the American requirements
with respect to submarine warfare,
and if this is the case the sacrifices
involved in that disaster will not have
been in vain. 1t is now directly init
mated by the German ambassador to
the United States that his govern
ment has already given orders that no
merchantmen not seeking to resist or
escape should be sunk without warn
ing and the granting of a sufficient
time for the escape of all her COM
pany. and that if the Arabic was sunk
without such warning, in such circum-
stances the German submarine
commander violated his orders.

When there's anything the matter

There's a remedy so soothing and
complete;
You can set a date for an investiga-
ton
And call on worthy citizens to meet.
They can deal with facts or matters
inferential,
And for expenses take modest
toll,
And when they've made a record
consequential,
= lust file it somewhere in a pigeon
hole.
The grievances which fill today with
fretting,
Tomorrow may be easily endured;
And a trouble which we're rapidly
forgetting
To ali intents and purposes is cured.

sion,
And many terror that disturbed
the soul
Is brought to an innocuous condition
By being shooed into. pigeon
