MEMORIAL.

Miss Lottie Stearman babe her loved
ones and friends good bye, and crossed
over the River to Eternal rest April 2,
1915. She was "a years and ~ days
old, but it seems her work had just be-
gun. Her many friends and relatives,
who visited her daily, say they have
never seen such perfect child-like
trust from any one. Truly it was
great to stand by her side and see her
and watch her happy face, as she look
ed away from earth. She only saw in
the tomb a thoroughfare that closed
on the twilight here and opened on
the Eternal dawn, whose brightness
she could almost make US see, it was
so bright to her. Her suffering was
long and at times, severe, but her
patience and endurance marvellous.
After a hard paroxish would pass she
would look up to US and smiling would
say, "Ths is not hard; Jesus knows
and helps me, and he will take me
when he is ready" She seldom let
any one 60 away without speaking a
word for Jesus and begging them to
seek Him, and her works will surely
follow her.
She leaves a father and mother, Mr..
and Mrs. John Stearman; one brother,
James |. Stearman, and host of rela-
tives and friends that will miss Lottie,
but we should not mourn when tired
spirit returns to the God that gave 1t.
No one had lived as spotless life as
Lottis. She joined the Methodist
church at Custer when she was only
nine years old she never wandered
from the sweet simple faith of her
youth. Mrs. w. P. Romine. Triangle.

and all other administration ofictals,

the new situation between the United

their minds open.
only two official dispatches had
been received and they gave the
fruits OF no independent investtga-

reports of its own officials.
Ambassador Page forwarded a

niere nor DIR. E. Wood. the two
Americans still missing.
While officials here are keeping
their minds open during the hours
which will be required for assemb-
ling the official evidence, they are
thinking about these points:
Whether any Americans have been
lost and whether the Arabic actually
was torpedoed without warning.
Whether the Arbic by having been
on the beginning of It's
voyage had under international law
partaken of the character of its con
voy and waived its right as nom
combatant.
Whether by proceeding to the VI
cinity of the steamer DunsIey. which
had just previously been torpedoeo
the Arabic's commander introduced
any Qualifying circumstances by
violating the rule OF the British ad-
rntralty which forbids ship to risk
itself by attempting to assist another
