Of them not drowned due, according to cable
advices TO act OF the commander of the German
submarine but to the quick work done by the captain
and the of the Arabic in loading and lowering
the boats and getting away from the sinking liner.
In considering this most recent German offense
against the United States and civilization generally it
should be in mind that the Arabic westward

neither soldiers munitions of and that she
had many neutras ana -combatants. including
homeward-bound Americans. board
II was a naval crime in line with that featuring
the destruction Of the Lusitania In fact it was the
excusabe because the Arabic was bound from
England the United States. whereas the Lusitana
was bound from the United States TO England.
In the note of July q President Wilson and secre-
tary OF state Lansing characterized such submarine
work as an "unpardonable ofense against the

warned that repetition of the offense COM

As diplomatic and military activity
increases in the neighborhood of
Constantinople, the worlds attention
is directed more and more to the mo-
mentous events that are impending in
that quarter. The Balkan States are
in a ferment and two of them-Rou
mania and Bulgaria-are distracted
by the opposing influences of the
great warning powers. Fear of the
AustrO-German armies restrains
them from accepting the most tempt
ing offers from the allies to join
them in operations against Constan-
tinople. Meanwhile, they are trying
to make the best bargain they can
before taking what appears to be an
unavoidable plunge into hostilities.
Greece and Serbia are rapidly
shaping their affairs to meet the
demands of Bulgaria. so far as pos
sible in order that no time may be
lost in consolidating powerful land
operations against Constantinople.
Serbia has intimated that she will
make more liberal concessions to

Serbia are protected by the allied

SONG OF THE ROCKIES.


We want to fight no battles on an

We want to take no tribute from an
other nations toll:
And If they'll only let us live in
peace with all the world.
You may be sure our battle flag will
never be unfurled.
But
II another nation thinks that it can
pick on us,
And kick us round. and take our land,
and make a general muss.
And laugh to scorn our protests that
this state of things should be.
Well, such a nation has another
guess that's coming-seel
We do not like the fighting game. it's
glory rings not true;
Wed much prefer to stay at home
with Nancy. Bess and Sue;
We've got little blue eyed kid, when
all is done and said,
Whose call is sounding very strong
to come and play, instead.
We don't intend that blue eyed kid
shall fall some day before
A ruthless, brutal soldiers sword
who's landed on our shore;
Nor have we any taste to see some
army waste and kill
And devastate this land OF ours when
it's too late to drill.
So we have come. the rockies. from
the country and the town.
From plough and desk and work
mans bench we've laid our du-
ties down,
To learn the trick of soldering. that

When We must fight. we'll know the
game when sounds the battle
