The tone of this latest communica-
ton was viewed with favor. 1t was re-
garded as evidencing a desire by Ger
many to do everything possible to re-
move these two cases from the list of
endorsements between the two gov
ernments.
The note. according to the view Of
officials practically eliminates these
two cases from further consideration.
except as they strengthen the demand
of the United States that Germany give
some assurances for the future and de-
clare whether or not she intends to
abide by the acknowledged rules of in
ternational law.
The following. in part is the text OF
the German note:
I'm regard to the attack on the steamer
Gulflight, the commander of German
submarine saw on the afternoon of May
/ in the vicinity of the Scilly Islands a
large merchant steamer coming in his
direction. which was accompanied by
two smaller vessels. These latter took
such position in relation to the steamer
that they formed a regulation safeguard
against submarines: moreover. one Of
them had a wireless apparatus which is
not usual with small vessels. From this
it evidently was case OF English con-
voy vessels. Since such vessels are reg
ularly armed. the submarine could not
approach the steamer on the surface Of
the water without running the danger
of destruction. 1t was, on the other
hand. to be assumed that the steamer
was of considerable value to the British
government. since it was so guarded
Upon scrutiny of the time and place

that the attacked steamship was actu-
ally the American steamship Gulflight

"OLD" AT THIRTY-SEvEN.
How Many Men Are Going Down
Hill at That Age.

The defeat of Jack Johnson by
Jess" Willard is generally attribut-
ed to his age. From the standpoint
of athletics, he is going down the
declivity Of life at the ripe age of
thirty-seven. He excelled Willard in
science and skill, but got tired quick
er.
| Baseball constantly gives instan-
ces of some loss of physical power
at an early age. The great majority
Of the successful players are under
thirty. Over that age some lack of
elasticity and endurance commonly
begins to unfit man for the fast
est play.
1t would be a melancholy reflec-
ton for the average man, if he had
to admit that at the age of thirty
five he was going down hill. In
business the years from forty to fiji
ty are commonly called the prime of
life. The man who shows decided
signs of physical decay at fifty has
usually abused himself either by dis
siDation or overwork.
Many men start with a meager
equipment of physical strength,
but by rational exercise and sane
living are stronger at fifty, capable
of greater physical exertion, than
they were at thirty.
Young people take Pride in their
seeming ability to defy the stupid
laws of health. They bolt their
food, cut short their sleep, and in
dulge in harmful vices. The spirit
of youth keeps them going, until one
day something snaps. 1t may take
years to recover.
1t is often said that the way to
live long is to have some incurable
disease. The man who starts out
with slender equipment OF physi-
cal power, careful outstanding of his
forces often lives into the eighties. !
Meanwhile physical marvels like
Jack Johnson or the ball players |
throw the cream of their power in
to moments of supreme strain.
There may be more physical loss
in such an hour than il years of i
Flooding effort of daily life. 1t is |
yet to be proved that athletic PROV
ess assures either long life or heal
thy old age.

REMARKABLE CASE RELATION.
SHIPS,
Ottumwa Court Room Witnessed Re-
union of Many Couples.

Ottumwa, Ia, April 12.-While
Judge Hunter was hearing a case
this week involving the custody of 4
child which was in dispute between
the parents, who are divorced, par
ties interested in the action sat IN
the court room who presented one
OF the queerest relationship entan-
clements ever presented here or per-
haps any other place.
The title of the case was Emma
Tough VS.. George Tough. The con-
tention was over the possession of
their minor son, Emmett Tough. On
Jan. q, 1913, a divorce decree sign
ed by the local court gave the boy to
the father, who lives near Ollie, on
the grounds that the mother was I'M
able to take care of him. In the
testimony it was shown that Emma
Tough was the daughter of Frank
and wife, who have been divorced.
Frank Tough was in court, as was
his first wife, the mother of the
plaintiff. His second wife was 1T
home i'll.
When Mrs. Frank Tough No. !,
mother of plaintiff, entered the court
room, she met her son by a former
marriage, a man named Carter. She
also met her second husband, Frank
Tough and her present or third hus-
band, named Hulk, was with her, EN-
ma Tough, plaintiff in the case, met
her first hush land, George Tough,
whom she divorced two years ago to
marry Robert Leahy. Leahy was
there and met his first wife, Emma
Lough Leahy, from whom he is now
divorced, and he had with him his
second wife. After the divorce OF
Emma Tough Leahy, she married
Frank Ryan, who also had been for
merly married, and his first wife
was within two blocks of the court
house during the trial The plaintiff
is but 2S years old, has been married
three time, her mother the same
of times, her father twice,
but her first husband found once suf-
fiGent. Her second husband was
married twice and his wives were
present at the trial, as were her
three husbands.

FARM WAGES.
Mechanics and Laborers Living i'm
Cities ElOQuently Urged to
Get Into Country.

A great deal is being written an
said about the difficulty experienc
ed by the farmers in getting help
Mechanics and laborers living il
cities are eloquently urged to ge
out into the country for peace AM
plenty.
Considerable light on the cues
ton why farm help is scarce ha
Just been thrown by report ISSUED
by the New York, New Haven anC
Hartford railroad. This company
probably to promote the Back tc
the Soil movement, has been col
lecting statistics On the wages oil
farm people. While New England
wages are higher, it finds that in
the whole United States the average
farm hand gets but $21.3S a month
with board, and $31.O0 without
board.
This figure is considerably high
er than it could have been ten years
ago. But the pay without board is
only about $500 per week. 1t is 3
poor apology for a man who can ,
earn considerably more than $500 a.
week in a factory town.
Additional light on this question
was thrown the other day by a wo-
man with wide experience in char
ity work in the country, covering
conditions in several states. She
said that there is a growing tenden-
Cy among farmers to hire their
work done by boys sent out by re-
form schools, orphan asylums, and
other correctional or philanthropic
institutins. These youngsters will
once in while skip with such pick
ings of money or clothing as they
can escape will Also they are
sometimes a demoralizing factor IL
small village of simple hearted
country boys. But as a whole, these
little fellows do fairly good work,
and the farm experience is good for
them.
The net result, however, is to set
a standard of low wages for farm
help, and to discourage able bodied
men from taking up agricultural
work
What seems to be needed, in or
der to enlarge the supply of food
products and reduce prices, is to en-
courage a greater number of young
men to go into farming on their own
account. Apparently the only way

QUARRELS BETWEEN PUBLIC
MEN.

The recent episode occurring
when ex-Presidents Theodore Roose-
welt and William H. Taft met as
pall-bearers at funeral has revived
discussion as to the personal rela-
lions of these two famous men. Ac-
counts of that particular incident
vary. Some reporters have it that
the hand shake was purely cool and
formal, while others see enough
warmth in it to suggest a revival OF
their former intimacy.
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt said
some severe things about each other.
But the capacity of public men for
overlooking the rough and tumble
of public debate seems marvellous
to the average man.
Ninety-nine out of hundred peo-
pie are too sensitive to criticism.
The moment anything is said in the
local community adverse to their
personality, ideas, or manners, they
fiercely recent it as malicious at
tack.
Yet there is very little personal
malice in daily life in either person
al or business relations. Criticism is
the saving salt of life. Without it pri-
vate life would go stale and public
life would be rotten with corrup-
ton.
Most public men soon learn to
steel themselves against ordinary
personal attack. They find out that
they can learn much more and gain
much more help from opponents
than from friends. The friends flat
ter and conceal criticisms. Their op-
ponents reveal real weaknesses. A
wise public man notes these revela-
tons of the flaws in his own ideas
and his own record, and corrects his
course to meet them
Wherefore the feuds of public life
are far from lasting. A debate may
rankle with denunciation Yet be
taken in Pickwickian sense.
The Taft-Roosevelt row went
neep. The wounds of former friends
sink far. But these two are big
men. The passing years soften many
wounds, and it's fair guess that
they may heal this one. There's
something wrong when two men
can't differ radically on politics, and
yet unite in personal friendship.

While travelling through Alabama
a young salesman was one day forced

well satisfied with his meal, he asked
II he might have glass of milk.
