The Literal Jamaican Mind.

on the Panama canal many persons
were injured by jumping on and of
trains in motion on the Panama rail-
road. There were on the zone police
force many West Indians who were
trained and capable men, but incurably
literal. An order was issued to the
force to arrest any person found jump
ing on or of a train in motion, and the
next day two West Indian policemen
brought into a police station white

break away from them.

Napier's One Word Dispatch.

Very few commanders have revealed
any sense of humor in their campaign
ing exploits, and it was reserved for
the witty Sir Charles Napier to be-
come pre-eminent in this rare accom-
plishment. His browning achievement
in the realms of humOr was coincident
with his most brilliant feat of arms.
He was deputed to essay the con-
quest of Scinde, and, after a series of
fine exploits in the face of innumerable
difficulties, he accomplished his mis-

ed anxiously for his dispatch announc-

.LEELANAW CASE
BEFORE WILSON
Washington Shocked at Tor
pedOIng OF u. 5. Ship.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Indications
are that the torpedoing of the Amer
lean steamship LeelanaW by Ger
man submarine off the coast of Scot
land will constitute a case very SIM
liar TO that of the Frye, now a sub
ject of controversy with Germany and
that it will not be regarded as the
deliberate unfriendly act" Of which
President Wilson gave warning in his
last note.
No definite statement can be made
in this regard, however, until the de-
tails Of the torpedoing OF the Ameri-
can vessel are received. Both the
unofficial and official reports leave it
in doubt whether the Leelanaw was
given notice Of an intent to torpedo
her and her officers and crew given
opportunity to take to the ships
boats. On this point the attitude of
the United States toward the case win
hang.
Nevertheless the report that the
American ship had been torpedoed,
coming on the heels of the resumption
of activities by the German subma-
rires and reports Of the unfavOrable
reception of the American note,
caused a shock here. 1t is felt that
any day is likely to bring case
which under the terms of the note
sent to Berlin last week will force
the president to take decisive action.
The torpedoing of the Leelanaw was
officially reported to the state depart
ment by Consul Dennison at Dundee.
The consul stated only that the YES
SCI had been torpedoed, that the crew
had been landed at Kirkwall, Scotland,
and that they were proceeding to Dun
dee. The United States has only a
consular agent at Kirkwall, so no de-
tailed report of the case is expected
until the survivors of the Leelanaw
have reached Dundee.

The sentry who guarded the front of

smiled cynically. Then, remembering the

wonderful look Of candor and innocence,
the smile faded from his face. and its

anxiety. Just at that moment the door
