why does Billy Sunday draw thou

Not because of his gymnastic gyrations

He knows what holiness Is.

Il think Billy Sundays best epigram
so far is: Some people are SO low down

Secretary Daniels said he would rather
watch a baseball game than eat good

chaplains for the navy he always got
men who play baseball.

Il believe in mobilizing militant Meth

odists by geographical boundaries. There
are 100000 Methodists in America march

MAN FACING SUIT MAY
SELL HIS REAL ESTATE
Justice Siddons Rules Pending Action
Should Not Prevent Disposal
of Property.

Justice Siddons. in the District Supreme
court. yesterday ruled that a man may
sell his real estate even though a damage
suit against him is pending. Justice Sid
dons sustained a motion to dismiss Harry
freditng's bill seeking to enjoin Louis
freedman from selling his District real
ty pending disposition Of a damage suit
hled by Friedling against Freedman.
1t was alleged Friedling was claiming
s-e'oo damages because his wife's affec-
lons allegedly had been aiienated by
freedman. 1t further was charged
freedman probably would dispose of his
valuable realty holdings to avoid pay
ment of any judgment that might be OBJ
tanned against him. The court was asked
TO prevent conveyance of the realty to
preserve it for payment of a possible
judgment.
The point is considered very important.
and Attorneys John Ridout and Topper &
Cusack, co lnsel for the plaintiff, noted an
appeal. The defendant is represented by
Attorneys Wilton J. Lambert, F. r
Whippler and r. H.. Yeatman.

NINETY-TW0 VICTIMS
BURIED At QUEENSTOWN
Services Without Parallel In History
Held Over lusitania's Dead
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHJ

QUEENSTOWN. May 1O-Ninety-
two Passengers of the Lusitania were
buried this afternoon with services
without parallel in history Under a
sky in which not single cloud ap-
peared ana to strains of hymns PLAYED
by British soldiers, they were laid to
rest two miles behind Queenstown in
d cemetery bursting with spring green
cry ana tucked between hills flaming
with gorsS.
Queenstown never sensed the full
horror OF the Lusitania disaster until
today But when the funeral started
the realization came that each cheap
coffin held 4 body and that in the At
lantic. less than twenty miles away
there were over thousand more, all
victims of a German submarine.
The townspeOple stood hatless nearly
all the forenoon as the coffins were
conveyed 10 the cemetery on carts
This process required hours and it was
not until lid-afternoon that the final
procession started

GERMANY SENDS REGRETS BUT
PUTS BLAME ON GREAT BRITAIN

The Gel imam government desires to
express deepest sympathy for the loss
of lives on board the Lusitania The
responsibility rests. however. with the
British government, which through its
plan of starving the civilian population
of German" has forced Germany to re-
sort to retaliatory measures. In spite
of the German offer to stop subma rine
war in case the starvation plan was
given up. British merchant vessels are
being generally armed with guns and
nave repeatedly tried to ram subma-
rines, so that previously search has
oeen impossible.
IF England after repeated official
and unofficial warnings considered her
self able to declare that the boat ran
no risk and thus light heartedly as
sumed the responsibility for human
hfe on board a steamer which, owing
to its armament and cargo was liable
to destruction, the German government
in spite of its heartfelt sympathy for
the loss of American lives cannot but
regret that Americans felt more in
clined to trust to English promises,
rather than to pay attention to warn
ings from the German side"
