EYE CUT BY GLASSES

Little lola Markewll was brought
up from Wabuska on Friday evening
of last week with pretty bad cut over
her eye. While playing she stumbled
and fell, striking her face on the
ground The glasses she wore were
broken and piece of the glass in
fiicted quite a serious cut over the eye
1t required three stitches to bring the
wound together and it is thought that
no further trouble will result IRON the
injury and that there will be no scar
left in few months to mar the eye.
The young lady stood the odeal Of
having the stitches taken in the wound
well it being unnecessary to admin
lister any anasthetic, and at this writ
ing she is getting along nicely.

Grain crops will probably go in earlier

be an inclination to plant more wheat
than any other grain.
The farmers are viewing with alarm
the scarcity of snow in the mountains
which means that there will be a
shortage of water next summer for
irrigation purposes. Some of them are
so tenderfooted that they are seriously

In the capture of Libau the Germans

"On the greater part of the front

lery duels, which in certain places,
namely at Ypres. north OF Arras, in

"An infantry battle took place In the

the river Fecht, they attacked after a
preliminary fire of artillery which last
ed for hours. All these attacks re-

Group 5 includes the stipulations

known in an official communication Of

preston of opinion is expected by the
United States from Great Britain
France and Russia, as the allies of ia

the leading powers have had in the
maintenance of the territorial Integrity
of China, or the open door policy

wildered from their terrible experience
and their accounts of The sinking OF
the Lusitania are not entirely clear. 1t
is To be noted. however. that one and
all unite in ~eulogizing the manner in
which the ships officers behaved. Five
minutes after the Lusitania was hit
with the second torpedo amidsfaps, she
had listed to such an extent that the
lifeboats on one side could not be
launched at all. The work of getting
as many people as possible, for the
most part women and children, into the
lifeboats that could be got clear was
at once undertaken by the captain and
officers and men of the Lusitaria, and
performed efficiently and with heroism.
The scene as the big liner went down
is described by the survivors as heart-
rending beyond words. Battling for life,
the passengers called to relatives or
friends or bid each other goodby. The
small boats which had gotten away
from the side of the liner picked up a
good many survivors,, who with life
belts or clinging to w~reckage. were
floating on the surface Of the water.
But soon the boats were all crowded.
Those boats were in turn picked up by
rescuing steamers coming at full speed
from shore points, but in many cases
four or more hours elapsed before res
cuers reached the scene. In many cases
the only work left for the rescue work.
ers to do was to collect from the water
the floating bodies OF the dead. Sew
eral passengers were taken aboard
trawlers severely injured. only to die
before they could be transferred ashore.

London, May s--More than 1000 persons lost their lives, the
British admiralty estimates, when the Cunard line steamship Lusi-
tania was torpedoed and sunk yesterday afternoon off Old Head,
kinsale, on the Irish coast.
This statement was given out by the admiralty today:
''The best available information sets forth that the Lustania
had aboard 1,241 passengers and a crew of 665. This gives a total. of
1919 souls on board the liner when she was torpedoed.
An admiralty statement this morning placed the number Of sur
vivors at 65S. Later a report from Ireland said 40 more had been
brought in, making FOB known survivors and a death list of 1916
OF those who were saved, GAO We're landed at Queenstown, II at
kinsale and 50 others are reported TO be aboard a steamer. 1t is pos
sible that a few others have been landed by fishing boats at other
points. One dispatch said that several survivors had been landed on
