U LoMnoN DEPRESSED.

LONDON, May 21.--It is said in London that fear of an armed inyas- ion by Germany was one of the con tributing causes for the demand for a bipartisan Cabinet The extraor- dinary recovery and resumption of the offensive warfare on the part of Ger many against Russia has caused a feeling of depression here such as has not existed since the German drive at Paris was stopped last September.

GARRISON ASKS :. COUNTRY TO LOOK
 FACTS IN FACE

LAKE MOHONK, N. N, May 2l.-- Amplifying his speech yesterday af- ternoon on the need for larger army and more efficient defensive military establishment for the United States, Secretary of War Linldey NJ. Garrison said that the greatest difficulty is to get the people to look the facts square ly in the face.
 Turning aside he said will not do. It will not only fail to prevent calamity. but it will serve to make its effects more disatsrous when they do come No sound reason can be ad- duced which would justify a sane man in concluding that isolation alone spells safety. Nor can sure reliance be placed in our lack of aggressive in tention, our freedom from coyetous' ness. or our tendency toward right eousness. That self-respect without which man is an invertebrate animal requires that we should be prepared to protect that which we cherish, and which includes not only our material possessions but also that iutagible something which makes us distinc- tive nation in the eyes of the world.
 "Selfpreseryation is the first law and a nation in order to deserve pres land a nation in order to desrve pres ervation, must be sane as well as righteous, selCrespecting and cour- ageous. Since it obtained these vir- tues only by conflict Of one sort or another. it can retain them, and thus Insure it's own preservation, only by being prepared in every possible to de fend them from the inevitable assaults which will be made upon them"

German Noto Nearly Ready.


 WASHINGTON, May 21- TT Adyicea received from Germany today say that the German reply to the American note is almost complete, and that 1t will probably be dispatched Monday though 1t is possible that 1t may be cabled tomorrow.

 It is again rumored that arbitration might be suggested as to damages that Germany must pay for American loss es.

JURY HANGS
 BUT COLONEL
 HAS TILE EDGE

SYRACUSE. N. r., May 2l The jury in the case of William Barnes against Theodore Roosevelt in the S50.0O0 damage case has found in fa- vor Of the former President in SO far as the question of damages is concern ed, but it is divided on the question of assessments of costs. some Of the jurors desiring to assess all the costs, including those of the defense upon Barnes while others desire that the costs be equally divided between the parties to the suit.
 The New York law provides that the loser Of Q libel suit may be assessed with the costs. including attorneys fees, of the victor.
 At 1O:15 o'clock this morning the jury asked for a conference with Jus tice William S. Andrews, and its di- lena was explained to him. The jury was further instructed and retired. At 12:30 o'clock 1t was stated that the jury stood n to one for returning Q simple verdict for the defendant. The 18th juror. Edward Barnes, continued to urge that the costs be split equally between the parties to the suit.
 Lawyers Say Juror Wrong.
 Lawyers say that the law does not give the jury the right to divide the costs. and that verdict attempting to do 80 could not be made effective. The costs so against the losing side except that the jury may add to the costs the legitimate expenses of the defense, attorney's fees, etc. such as ordinarily could not be put into Q cost bin. When the court convened after recess the jury was still out.
