TELL OF SINKING Of
STEAMER FALAbA
Berlin Says the Crew Was
Given Time to Leave.
Summoned Help

Berlin. April 14-(Via Amsterdam
to London. April IA, 1888 a. MIA
semi-official account of the sinking
of the British steamer Falaba by a
German submarine made public mere
today, says:
On receiving the signal stop or I
fire. the Fa1aba steamed off and sent
up rocket signals to summon help and
was only brought to a standstil1 after
a chase of a quarter of an hour
Despite the danger of an attack
from the steamer or from other yes
sells hurrying up the submarine did nor
Immediately fire but signalled that the
steamer must be abandoned within 10
minutes. The men of the Falaba
quickly entered the boats, although the
launching took place in an unseaman-
like manner. They failed to give as
sengers struggling in the water. From
the time of the order to leave the ship
until the torpedo was discharged not
TO- but 23 minutes, elapsed. During the
chase of the steamer the boats might
have been ready
The torpedo was fired only when the
approach of suspicious looking vessels,
from which an attack was to be ex-
pected, compelled the commander of
the submarine to take quick action
When the torpedo was discharged no.
body was seen on board the ship ex-
cept the captain, who bravely stuck to
his post. Afterward some persons be-
came visible who were busy about
boat.
"Of the crew of the submarine the
only ones on deck were those serving
the cannon or those necessary for sig
Mailing. 1t was impossible for them
to engage in rescue work because the
submarine could not take on passen-
gers.
every word is superfluous in de-
Tending our men against malignant ac-
ousations AT the judicial proceedings
in England no witness dared raise ac-
cusations 1t Is untrue that at any
time the submarine displayed the Eng
lish flag. The submarine throughout
the affair showed as much considera-
ton for the Falaba as was compa tible
with safety"

his little part; the leader of this orches-
ira came up from the ranks of the CO.
operatives, and his success is merely the
success of faithful cooperation and so
our success here will and can only be the
result OF faithful cooperation behind
leader, and that leader must be-some
definite end.
Locking at it from the simpler aspect
of the actual results of an eveniytg of
such wonderful music as this, the Beg
hts are various and easily apparent. No
one can deny that to take oneself away
from the cares and frivolous worries of
one workaday life and allow ones soul
TO be bathed in the flood of joys and sor-
rows, that music only can express, is good
for ones better self. One knows there is
more on earth than gold, that there is
God In heaven and a soul in man, and that
man is nearest to God when he is ex-
pressing his emotions in music. No one
can listen and not leave a better man
or woman. Each of you will become an
influence for better music and for more
music in your particular sphere, and Just
as pebble thrown into a pool creates
ripples, that circle is diminishing inten-
sity to the farthertmost shores, SO will
each listener Great rlpples of interest in
music which will affect in some slight
way all of our people He will want and
desire good music and his desire will
gradually become the desire of all, and
that happy day will see the formation
here of some such organization as Dam
roschs orchestra.
These concerts and festivals repeated
are bound to raise the musical taste of
the community. 1t brings home to you
here the greatest music of all the ages
performed in well nigh perfect fashion"
MRS. CHARLES E. BOWMAN
Music is like mercy.

OF all the arts, music is the most tang

appears not only to the brain, the senses,
but most of all to the heart. Good mu-

opening the heart and broadening the ex-
perience fills a cultural need that cannot
