 Don Severn Writes Of His Experiences

Don Severn formerly of The Repub- lican, who left Phoenix last December to return to England and join the army, has been compelled to give up his de- sire to go to the front, and has settled down to business in Nottinghamshire. On the way home he had all kinds of experiences, and when after much trib- ulation he finally arrived his father Te- fused to allow him to go to the front. In a letter received yesterday. he writes as follows:
 When I left Arizona travelled east the way home, and although l was making for England. I had no idea how [ was going to get there. Fl Paso only made things worse, for inside of six weeks my pal and l were well on the rocks It got down to stalking our last two dollars on the wheel over in Mex ico, and d consequent hungry week end.

GERMAN REGRET FOR
(Continued from Page One)

that tAe American steamer Nebraska Il was damaged by a mine or torpedo on the southwest coast of Ireland. It, therefore, started a thorough inNeS- ueation of the case without delay. and from the result of the .nvestiga- ton it has become convinced that the damage to the Nebraskan was caused by an attack by a submarine.
 ''On the evening of May 2j. last, the submarine met the steamer bound westward without a flag and with TO neutral markings on her free board, about thirty-five nautical miles; west of t'astnet- rock. No appliance of any kind fo~ the illumination of the flag or markings was to be seen In the twilight, which had already set in, the name of the steamer was not visible from the submarine. Since the commander of the submarine was obliged to assume from his wide experience in this area of the mari time war that only English steamers and no neutral steamers traversed the war area without flag markings, he attacked the vessel with a tor pedo. in the conviction that he had an enemy vessel before him
 
 mander saw that the vessel had in the meantime hoisted the American flae.. As consequence he, of course, re- trained any further attack. Since the vessel remained afloat, he had no occasion to concern himself fur ther with the boats which had been launched
 Tt results from this. without doubt, that the attack on the steamer Ne- Ira Skan was not meant for the American flag, nor is it traceable to any fault on the part of the com Inander of the German submarine but it is to be considered an unfor- tunate accident. The German gov ernment expresses regret at the oc- currence. to the government of Amer ica, and declares it's readiness tb make compensation for the damage thereby sustained by American citi- zens.

AUSTRIA'S COMPLAINT
(Continued from Page One)

people of these countries have under gone.
 The Collection of Evidence does not purport to be complete in any respect. It is naturally restricted to been either officially investigated or authenticated in an unimpeachable way.
 In proportion to the number of cases which have actually occurred. the number of the proven instances is exceedingly small Up to this day. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is still without information concerning the fate of several consular officials who have been arrested. The Aus trian and Hungarians who are being detained in hostile countries can be counted by the thousands. Almost all of them still endure in silence the outrageous methods wherein the gov ernments of hostile countries set hu- man dignity at naught. The breaches of the laws of warfare as compiled in part of this collection, must like wise be considered however as only individual evidences For the time be- ing we cannot have anything ap- preaching q compI ehensive knowledge of events in the territories beyond the enemys lines. And yet. from the reports which reach us and from trustworthy news published in for .ign daily papers, it is possible to draw the well-founded conclusion that thousands of shocking viola tions of the law of nations have oc- cured. especially in the districts Of our country occupied by the enemy
 Tt may be conceded that certain breaches of international law seem to be an inevitable consequence Of the massing of troops on so huge scale as this war has produced. But it is nevertheless most disap- pointing that the international agreements assuring the protection of lives, the honor the freedom of the religious faith of peaceful citi- zens and the arts and sciences, should be wilfully violated by the troops and officials of the very gov ernment under the aegiS Of wh1ch The Hague Conferences reformed and completed the laws of warfare. One of the main causes for this unfor- tunata situation must be ascribed to the employment of troops wholly un- able to perceive the legal TeSlIlClloiiS applied to warfare. The French pro- lessor of law, already quoted above. enumerate the doctrine that coun- tries at war with nations of low standard of civilization are compel led to apply methods of warfare which correspond to the level of their opponents morals. He adds:
 The French acted in accordance with this precept in Africa, Tonkin, China and Dahomey; the English in India and Russians in Caucasia and in Turkestan, France, Great Britain and Russia could. therefore. not pos sibly expect that their African and Asiatic subjects would respect the provisions of international law; there cannot be the slightest doubt that they are well aware that they are disregarding the law of Euro pean nations when they line up saw ages and half-savages against the troops of European powers.
 "1'he object of this publication is to adduce only such violations of the international law as have been perpetrated directly and individually against nationals of the dual mon- archy; it, therefore. does not include the evidences of numerous exceeding

The remains of the Colossus of Rhodes have been dispersed beyond possibility of recovery, or of tracing. It stood for little more than half century, and then, in PA B. C., was overthrown by earthquake. The Rhodians raised from benevo- lent outsiders large of money for it's restora- tion but divided the fund themselves, as- that the oracle of Delphi had forbidden them to i up again.
