In Which Sam Borda Who Was
Here to Hunt Work is
the Victim.

BURNsvIL1E, Feb. 2o.-The people
Of Bower, Braxton county, and vicin-

murder that occurred recently near
Purnsyille. Sam Borda, of Mabscott,

burg seeking work. Sam got employ
ment at the fair grounds but his
father-in-law did not succeed in get
ting q Job.
This did not suit the men and Sam
wrote to his father-in-law that they
would seek employment at the mines
at Bower or Cowen. On February II

City oflPetrograd.


! LONDON. Feb. 20-The third day OF
the German submarine blockade was
nshered in without Great Britain's
retaliatory policy declaring all food
destined for Germany to be absolute
contraband being definitely .promul-
gated through the foreign Office. Tho
regarding the Wilhelmina incident
presages that such action will be
taken and as the document points
out Great Britain hopes when she
takes this step to meet with no OBJ
lection from neutral countries.
German movements on the north
ern extremity of the eastern front
hold first place in the military situ-
alton, particularly SO as Petrograd
believes that Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg is trying to flank War
saw from the north. a task which
the Russians think is rather daring
and fraught with great risk unless
the German forces are overwhelming.
The first rush of the Germans over
the East Prussian frontier seems to
have spent itself. The Germans now
are reported to be locked with Rus
sian reenforcements at many points
between the Niemen river below Kov.
no down to the right bank Of the
lower Vistula and military experts in
London say 1t is difficult to visualize
this condition. The condition in
Bukowina continues with prospects
of developing into decisive battle
on the banks OF the river Pruth. In
Galicia the repeated violent Austrian
attacks against the Russian positions
in the Carpathian passes have been
costly to both sides but they have
left the alignment little gained.

the boats.
Meanwhile two men from the sub
marine went aboard the steamer and
placed two bombs, one in the cap
tain's room and the other in the
forecastle. Ten minutes later there
were two explosions and the ship be-
gan to sink. The submarine then
stopped Dutch ship, which was al.
lowed to proceed after the Germans
had satisfied themselves there was no
contraband on board. The subma-
rine then returned to the Vile de
Lilies boat when 1t was seen what
desperate efforts the sailors were
making to row to the coast, and took
them in tow until the coastline was
in sight. The German commander
also took the captain Of the ship
aboard the submarine. The Ger
mans also supplied him with fine
pair Of sea boots as he had been conf
PEELED to leave his own behind.

The Swords Of Grant and Lee

Methinks tonight catch a CLEAN
OF steel among the pines,
And yonder by the lilied stream
RepOSe the fOemen'S lines;
The ghOstly guards who pace the ground
A moment stop to see
If all is safe and still around
The tents of Grant and Lee.
TITS but a dream; no armies camp
Where once their bay nets shone
And Hesper's calm and lovely lamp
Shines on the dead alone.
A cricket chirps on yonder rise
Beneath the cedar tree
Where glinted meath the summer skies
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Forever sheathed those famous blades
That led the eager van!
They shine no more among the glades
That fringe the Rapidan.
Today their battle work is done.
Go draw them forth and see
That not stain appears upon
The swords of Grant and Lee.
The gallant men who saw them flash
In comradeship today
Recall the wild, impetuouS dash
OF vaProus blue and gray;
And meath the flag that proudly waves
Above nation free,
They oft recall the missing braves
Who fought with Grant and Lee.
They slumber 'mong the tender grass.
They slumber meath the pines,
They're camping in the mountain pass
Where crouched the serried lines;
They rest where loud the tempests blow
Destructive in their glee-
The men who followed long ago
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Their graves are lying side by side
Where once they met as foes;
And where they in the wildwood died
Springs up a blood-red rose:
Ger them the bee golden wing
Doth fit, and in yon tree
A gentle robin seems to sing
To them Of Grant and Lee
Today no strife Of sections rise,
Today no shadows fall
Upon our land, and meath the skies
One flag waves over all;
The Blue and Gray as comrades stand,
AS comrades bend the knee,
And ask Gods blessing on the land
That gave us Grant and Lee.
SO long as southwark wide and clear,
POtOmac'S river runs
Their deeds will live because they were
Columbia'S brave sons.
30 long as bend the northern pines,
And blooms the orange tree,
The swords will shine that led the lines
OF valiant Grant and Lee.
Methinks I hear a bugle blow,
Methinks I hear a drum
And there. with martial step and slow.
Two ghostly armies come;
They are the men that met as foes,
For it's the dead I see,
And side by side in peace repOse
The swords of Grant and Lee.
Above them let Old Glory wave.
And let each deathless star
Forever shine upon the brave
Who led the ranks of war;
Their fame resounds from coast to coast,
From mountain top to sea;
No other land than ours can boast
The swordS of Grant and Lee.
Author unknown.

ALIENS ARE In PERIL
IN THE CITY OF MEXICO
Outlaws Who Attacked German Off

and Children in Bread Riots.

Washington, May s4.-OutlaWs in
Mexico City, who assaulted the Ger
man charge d'affaires, now are threat
ening the lives of other foreigners, &C.
cording to diplomatic dispatches re-
ceived here. One message states
that "indescribably loathsome' con-
ditions prevail and that the govern
ment is powerless against bandits.
Several popular demonstrations be-
cause of the food shortage have oc-
Cured in the Mexican capital within
the last few days. Reports to the
state department say the situation is
serious. The convention and the local
government are said to be giving con-
sideration to methods for relieving the
situation.
The international relief committee
has purchased in the northern part of
Mexico about $500 tons of cereals for
distribution among the needy in Mex
leo City, if satisfactory arrangements
can be made regarding transportation
and guarantees.

rest Chinese, according to reports

The Yaqui situation at Esperanza is
said to be tranquil. A train from
Guaymas was stopped by red flag on
the track with the notice, "All for
eigners and Mexicans are warned to
leave Sonora, which is now a Yaqui
republic" pinned to it. The passen-
gers laughed and the train went on.

Carlisle, England, May 25.-One Of
the most disastrous wrecks in the
annals of British railroading took
place on the Caledonian railway at
Gretna, near this city, on Saturday,
when three trains came into collision.
One hundred and sixty-ive soldiers
and many civilians were killed. The
total casualties probably will reach
400, as the list of more or less serious
ly injured is very numerous.
One of the three trains was a troop
train, another was a local and the
third was the express from London
to Glasgow.
Fire broke out in the wreckage and
added appallingly to the horror of
the scene.
Before the fire was put out many of
the travellers pinned under the wreck
age of the cars and unable to make
their escape were burned alive before
the eyes of the powerless onlookers.

Arrangements on Cargoes With Brit
ain Entirely Unofficial.
Washington, May 25.-Secretary
Bryan on Saturday ordered the termi-
nation of the unofficial negotiations
which have been in progress be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain with reference to cotton and
dyestuffs.
Two reasons prompted this action
on the part of the secretary of state
first, he objected to certain phrases in
British notes, which indicated that
the London government was seeking
to lend an official character to the ne
gotiations, thereby obtaining Ameri-
can recognition of the validity OF the
British orders in council against which
a strong protest was made. Second,
the administration deemed it inexpedi-
ent to be placed in the position of ac-
quiescing officially in British practice
respecting American trade while at
the same time making stiff demands
upon Germany in connection with the
Lusitania and other tragedies.
The secretary believes the United
States is not bound by these unofi-
cial negotiations.

LEES SURRENDER
AT APP0MATT0X
Date Should Be Irrevocably Fixed
in the Minds of the Amer
lean People.
BY J. A. WATROUS.

Gieutenant-C Colonel u. S. A., Retired.)
r AM writing on Wednesday, April
8, but thinking of April 8, fifty
years ago, when two powerful
American armies came together the
last time to fight after having fought
for nearly four years in a score or
more great battles, not TO mention
many smaller ones; the day upon
which one of these armies, that of the
Army of Northern Virginia, which had
been under the command of Gen. Rob-
ert e. Lee ever since June, 1862, sur
rendered to General U. s. Grant, COM
mander of all the armed forces Of
the Union.
1t was a great day for both armies,
and, for that matter, the whole ma
ton, the South as we'll as the North,
though Lees army and the South did
not look upon it from that standpoint
at the time. l am of those who have
always maintained that the supremest
kindness ever manifested toward peo-
pie was extended to the South when,
under the leadership of Mr.. Lincoln,
the rest of the Union prevented the
South from leaving the Union to build
up a southern confederacy. That is
why I say, fifty years after the mo-
mentous event, it was great day for
both armies and the nation.
Many things happened at Appomat-
tax aside from the one oyershadowing

BRITISH SUBMARINE SINKS
FOUR TURKISH WARSHIPS
Two Gunboats and Two Transports
Sent to the Bottom Of Sea
of Marmora.

London, May 22.-The sinking OF
the two Turkish transports, one of
which was loaded with troops, the de-
struction of two Turkish gunboats,
and the driving aground of a steamer
by the British submarine Ed, which
threaded the mines in the Straits OF
the Dardanelles and escaped detection
for nearly three weeks in the Sea OF
Marmora, returning safely to the al
lied fleet, is announced by the official
press bureau.
The>achievement is characterized as
one of the greatest single feats of the
naval warfare to date, unequaled dar-
ing and seamanship having been ex-
hibited by the submarine crew, which
operated successfully in the midst OF
the greatest dangers, and without ever
having had an opportunity to leave
the narrow quarters of their undersea
craft.
The official report of the action fol-
lows:
"The British submarine E-4, on O.
passage to the Sea of Marmora, sank
a Turkish gunboat in the Marmora and
sank a transport on April 20, sank a
gunboat on April 3, sank very large
transport full of troops on May 10,
and on May Ii compelled small
steamer to run aground. The return
passage was made on May 1S. The
admiral commanding states that 1t is
impossible for him to do justice to
this great achievement"
An official dispatch from Paris says:
1.-TWO divisions of Turks command
ed by Liman Pasha Gen. Liman Won
Sanders) directed ferocious, attack
against the British troops near Gaba
Tepeh. They were completely repulsed
and suffered heavy losses"
