81. Louis, Aug. 22.-The MerameC
river lined on either side with thou
sands Of pleasure resorts, club
houses and summer cottages, went
several miles out of it's banks to-
day, swept away most Of these build
ings and increased to 20, it is report
ed, the number of lives lost in St.
Louis county as a result of floods
which followed the recent rainstorm
here.
, The Meramec began rising a foot
an hour this morning, and the flood
was so sudden that hundreds had
time only to climb trees. Efforts to
res 'ue these with motor boats had
bee2Sin vain early tonight. The
river tonight passed stage five feet
higher than ever known before.
Death List May Grow.
Six persons were said to have been
drowned at Valley Park and two at
Meramec Highlands to-day. Many
pressed that the death list may ag-
gregate several score Of persons.
Hundreds of persons had been ma
rooned in club houses and cottages
along the river by the first rise seve-
raj days ago, and hundreds Of others
had gone to the river to-day hoping
it would recede and permit them to
rescue relatives, friends and their
water-spaked possessions.
Appeals for help were sent to st.
Louis D-night and hundreds of vol
unteers Immediately responded.
Boats are being rushed to thv Mera-
mec BY train. Strong motor boats
attempted to enter the Meramec from
the Mississippi river, but high waters
prevented. their passage under one of
the FEW remaining bridges across the

DECLARE COTTON CONTRABAND.
England Takes Step Long Contem-
plated-ITrance to Follow.

London, Aug. 21.-Cotton has
| been declared absolute contraband
by Great Britain, according to a
statement issued by the foreign Of
flee this afternoon.
The statement declare that the
| government proposes to ate mea-
sures to relieve depression which
might temporarily disturb the cotton
market because of the contraband
order.
1t was learned upon inquiry at the
foreign office that the French govern
ment will issue similar notice early
tomorrow.
The announcement follows:
His majesty's government has de-
clared cotton absolute contraband.
While the circumstances might have
Justified such action at an earlier pe-
riod, his majesty's government are
glad to think that local conditions of
American interests likely to be af-
lected are more favorable for such a
step than they were year ago, and
moreover, his majeStyS government
contemplate initiation OF measures to
relieve as far as possible any abnor-
NAL depression which might tempo
rarly disturb market conditions"
The declaration is effective from
to-day.
A royal proclamation concerning
the action was published in a supple
ment of the London Gazette issued
tonight 1t is very brief. After a
preamble citing previous proclama-
tions concerning contraband, it says:
Now, therefore, we do hereby de-
clare, by and with the advice OF our
privy council, that during the contin-
uance of the war, or until we do give
further public notice, the following
articles will be treated as absolute
lcontraband, ), In addition to those set,
out in our royal proclamations afore-
mentioned: Raw cotton, cotton lint
ers, cotton waste and cotton yarn.
And we do hereby further declare
that this, our royal proclamation,
shall take effect from the date of its
publication in the London Gazette"
The proclamation was signed YES
terday by King George.
Washington Will Protest,
Washington, Aug. 21.-The Uni
ted States will protest against the
British designation of cotton as con-
traband and subsequent negotiations
are expected at least TO draw out a
full explanation of the reasons be-
hind the action.
Ofhcials would not discuss the sub
Ject tonight, but the announcement
came as no surprise, for Secretary
Lansing was advised informally
some time ago that such action had
been decided. 1t is understood the
formal announcement was delayed
pending preparations to protect the
market from its effect.
The American protest will cite the
previous consistent policy of Great
Britain in holding cotton free of
restraint. A long course of diplo-
matte interchanges undoubtedly will
follow before an agreement can be
reached, or possibly the question be
to arbitration.

BRITONS LOSE A SUBMARINE.

manic Attitude Fires Danes.

London, Aug. 21.-The story Of
| the sinking of the British submarine
| E-l3, whose loss was made known in
| brief statement yesterday, was told
in an announcement from the admi-
rally as follows:
"A report has been received from
Lieut.. Commander Layton, command
ing the E-13, whose grounding on
the Danish island OF Saltholm was
published yesterday. The lieutenant
commander reports that the suJma-
rine grounded in the early morning
Of August 10. All efforts to refioat
her failed.
AT 5 o'clock a Danish torpedo
boat appeared on the scene and in
formed the E-13 that she would be
allowed "a hours to get off, At the
same time a German torpedo boat ar
rived and remained close TO the sub
marine until two more Danish tor
pedo boats came up, when she with
drew.
AT 8 o'clock, while the three DAN
ish torpedo boats were anchored close
to the submarine, two German tor
pedo boats appeared from the south
When about half mile away one OF
these hoisted a commercial flag sig
nal, but before the commanding Off
Ger Of the E-13 had time to read it,
the Germans directed torpedo at
her from a distance Of about 100
yards. The torpedo exploded on hit
ting the bottom close to her.
AT the same moment the German
destroyer fired with all her guns, and
Lieut.. Commander Layton, seeing
that his submarine was on fire, fore
and aft, and unable to defend herself,
owing to her being aground, gave or
ders for the crew to abandon her.
While the men were in the water5they

Immediately lowered her boats and
steamed between the submarine and
the German destroyers, who, there
fore, had to cease firing and with
draw.
Denmark is Aroused.
Copenhagen, Aug. 2l.-Destruc-
ton OF the British submarine E-13 in
Danish territory by German destroy
erS, under circumstances which
placed the shipwrecked craft under
Danish protection, has aroused wide
spread Indignation. Danish newspa-
pers urge that there can be no expIa-
nation or plausible excuse for the
deliberate violation Of Danish terri
tory, as German torpedo boat had
thoroughly Investigated the locality
before returning with the others to
attack the defenseless crew. The
EoTtiunG says:
There can be no question that the
German commander was aware he
was violating Danish neutrality"
The Journal Hovesdestaven pub
fishes rumor that one Danish tor
pedo boat had man wounded and
its wireless damaged by German
shells.
The entire press commends the
governments action in promptly pro
testing to Berlin, and assures the
government it will receive the sup
port Of the whole nation in whatever
action is taken.
The admiralty mas ordered that the
patrol ships aorund Copenhagen be
increased. A Zeppelin this morning
reconnoitered over the waters south
east Of Copenhagen and photographed
the wreck Of the E-13."

to my wife's money. Now, as a
matter of fact, my wife spent her

$500 on a diamond engagement

the ring the following month, and l

WEDDING DANCE" IS DEATHLY
Ants Use Plant Louise For
Cows" and milk"
Them Regularly.
FAITHFUL WORK OF SLAVES

A few days ago you may have
noticed in the quiet of your back
yard, only disturbed on Mondays
when the family washing is flutter-
ing on the line, swarms of small
winged insects whirling in the sun
shine. These are male and female
ants and this is their wedding
dance, so naturalists say. The hus-
bands and fathers soon fall and die
for their wedding dance is to them
dance of death-and their wild
ows, plucking off their wings for
which they have no further use, en-
ter the ground to lay their little
white round eggs.
Now a well-regulated community
of ants, strange to say, besides its
males and females, has a third
order, called neuters. These are
wingless and they are slaves. After
the eggs have been laid these slaves
or workers pick them up, so says
the pdIl6HI OpSCINSI, VIM nus Sbuu
led them through the microscope,
and carry them to special quarters
prepared for them, where in IA days
they become larvae.
You may notice rising above the
cracks in your brick walk here and
there little hillocks of clean, yell
low sand. 1t is brought to the sur
face by the workers, who are pre-
pairing the parlors, bedrooms and
other apartments of the flat for the
new colonies as they arrive. The
workers-so the naturalists say, and
though they tell truth, it does real
ly have Munchausen-like flavor
an organized troop of nurses, now
care for the baby ants, feed them,
give them daily sun bath and keep
them clean. In time the males and fe-
males will rise into the air, the
males, as their fathers before them,
to perish, and the mothers to return
to the anthouse to lay eggs for a
new family.
But a still more wonderful story is
told of their use of the aphis or
plant louise, a small soft-bodied
insect usually of a brilliant green
color, which lives on plant juices.
The juice secreted by this insect is
a honeylike liquid, of which ants
are fond. To obtain this food they
tickle the aphis with their antennae,
whereupon the aphis gives off a
drop of the fluid, which is drunk by
the ant. There is yet more to this
story. for it is said that some ants
carry the aphis into their ant hills,
or rather into the chambers be-
meath where they keep them, feeding
them and milking" them at their
pleasure. So these insects have been
called COWS" of the ants.

And this hatred against England
can be heard of everywhere. The
children in school proclaim it. Eng
Z lish words are cut out of the ordi-
nary vocabulary and English is spo-
ken only in whispers. 1t is practi-
cally unsafe in many parts of Ger
many for any one to be overheard
talking English. And because of
these conditions Americans sojourn-
ing in Germany are suffering as
much to-day as do the British, be-
cause the average German when he
hears English spoken does not know
of the difference between the lam
guage used in Great Britain and
her possessions and that spoken by
the Americans at home.
There was a time when the ha-
tired against Americans was so
great that many of them feared to
be seen in public places. Especial
Iy was that the case with Ameri-
NH, 10 fol
man fiuently. Even our Ambassa-
dor was openly insulted in public
once. 1t is not advisable even to-
day, when this bitter feeling against
the Americans has considerably sub
sided, for any American to travel
through Germany unless he is able
to speak the German tongue.
During my trip through Germany
was asked almost daily: why
do you Americans supply the allies
with arms and ammunition and 9TH
!, er munitions of war, and in that
way continue the cruel war against
us?"
The average German does not
seem to understand, or care to un-
derstand, that Germany has as
much right to buy arms and ammu-
milton in America for use by the
Germans against the allies, as have
the allies for use against the Ger
mans. They do not understand, or
do not want to understand, why
their ships no longer cross the AT
lantic Ocean, why their trade be-
tween nations across the sea had to
be abandoned, and why it is easy
for the allies to carry what is known
as provisional contraband from a
neutral country to one engaged In
warfare. They do not hesitate one
moment to denounce President Will
