Old-Time Wars

Literary warriors express awed sur- n~'se that men can bring themselves to face the death-dealiny hail from modern cannon, and declare that the coura go shown ih the present conflict surpasses anything previously known, says the Chicago Journal. This is. plausible but Is 1t true? There is unanimous agree melt in reports from the front that the hardest test of soldiers is to stand up to @ete-'n'-ed havonet charge. So long as death strikes unseen from the sky, the average man, if sufficiently we'll trained, sets his teeth, hopes he may be lucky, and goes on. But when death races toward him in the shape of a gilt tering line of steel points. held bv men who seem to have consuming desire to probe the insides of every human thing in front of them, the average soldier fs prone to remember a pressing engagement in the rear.

KAISER SEES ANSWER TO THE
AMERICAN NOTE DUE HERE NEXT WEEK

This question had not.been answered.
II remained for investigation to settle
il.
The sinking OF the Armenian was
reaching the status of a closed incl
dent, so far as Germany was con-
cerned. Reports from Ambassador
Page and Consul Armstrong agreed
that the liner was sunk while trying
TO escape. Captain Trickey's own
story was TO the same effect.
A complete investigation will be
made to get the record straight but
officialdom believed there was no dan
ger OF any complications with Ger
many over the case.
The German note was understood to
be in the Kaiser's hands for final ap-
proval. Indications we're 1t will reach
here Tuesday. II was expected It
would be friendly, but not final.
The next thing looked for was prep
aration of the new American note IN
England Besides demanding modi-

was understood il would insist that
the British government put an imme-
diate stop to the flying Of the Ameri-

Alice VIOLATION
OF fireworks LAW
City Merchant Accused o
Selling "Thunderbolts
Barred by Ordinance
OTHER ARRESTS ARE
LIKELY TO FOLLOW

The first arrest for an alleged vio-
lation Of the city fireworks ordinance
was made last night when Sergeant
Devinish served a warrant on Norris
Bender, charging him with selling
fireworks containing other detouating
substance than black powder, to wit,
chlorate of potash.
Bender was arraigned in City Court
today and his case continued until
/ Tuesday. Sergeant Devinish brought
into court some of the fireworks al
legged to be offered for sale by Bender.
One was a fire cracker over four
inches long and labeled Thunder
bolt" with these directions: Lay
the thunderbolt ON the ground and
light the fuse. Do not hold in hand
or touch the thunderbolt after light
ing" The police consider the crack
er dangerous. There we're also some
National cane torpedoes. which the
police consider dangerous.
DR.. Frank Roop Smith analyzed the
fire cracker and the torpedoes and
reported that they contain chlorate
of potash.
AS it is said that numerous mer-
chants are selling fireworks of this
character, it is likely that other ar
rests will be made.
