will be welcomed by the German peo-
pie with unanimous satisfaction.
This was no act of war, and is not
excusable by any law of nations or
morality.
We are told that the Lusitania was
armed. This is an absolute false
hood, invented by the German gov
ernment. The United States authori-
J ties saw to it that she carried no
guns mounted or unmounted. She was
in no more position to defend herself
/ than the Tivoli that plies between
Baltimore and Snow Hill.
We are told that the Lusitania car
ried contraband of war-sOme copper
and about 1000 cases of small ammu-
milton, and for that reason Germany
was justified in sending to their doom
innocent mothers and babes. This ex-
cuse has no foundation in law or
principle. No rule of warfare iusti-
/ fies the destruction of a captured shin
until all the seamen and passengers
have been removed to a place of safe
ty.
Oh yesl the passengers were warn
ed by an advertisement from the Ger
man embassy. SO does the Black
Hand send their warnings; so does
Jack the Ripper, and Auto Jack send
/ their defiant letters to the police. The
sea is public highway just as the
State road is, and no two men who
are fighting therein have any right
to impede the traffic thereon, much
less kill everybody possible who dare
assert their right to continue their
former business activities.
Germany has certainly placed her
self beyond the pale of civilization by
the atrocious. murderous, hellish deed
which cannot be in any way condpn-
ed by any excuses or black fase-
hoods that she can possibly invent.
Apparently she holds the American
government in contempt, and it is to
be hoped that the administration will
take some drastic steps 10 prevent a
recurrence of such insults and out
RACES upon an innocent people.

GASOLINE Explosion
KILLS so; INJURIES 200.

Fully so persons were killed
and 200 injured Monday at Ard
more, Okla, as result of the
explosion OF a 250 barrel tank of
gasoline.
Two workmen were repairing
the tank car when one of them
struck it with hammer. A
spark from the blow ignited
fumes escaping through a small
leak. There was terrific ex-
plosion, followed by many small
er ones. The worllmen were
blown TO pieces. The Rock Is
land freight station and scores of
other buildings quickly took fire
from the flying liquid.
The flames spread rapidly until
all of main street appeared a
roaring furnace. Thirty freight
ears in the Santa Fc railroad
yards were destroyed. The pail
of smoke hanging over the whole
city prevented reScuerS from do
ing effective work. Forty bodies
have been recovered from the va
rious buildings which were RACED
by the explosion and fully 200 in
iurcd are reported The proper
| ~ damage is estimated at one
million dollars.

Two Famous English Orders.

Henry Nv. "the Most Noble Order OF
the Bath" During the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries 1.-THE Bath" fell
into disrepute, and its restoration to
favor we owe to the German George L,
who reconstructed the order In 172H.
The reason for Its loss of reputation is
possibly to be found in one Of the cere-
monies which preceded the investi-
ture The candidate for knighthood
was tremendously disrobed conducted
to bath and while there was duly in
structed and counseled by two grave
and ancient knights concerning the or
der and feats of chiValry. The English
are prudish nation and preferred to
be clothed and in their right mind IL
they are to be preached at. The Order
Of the Garter rather tried their re-

Nc EIopements IN Germany.

One seldom hears of elopements in
Germany, because It is impossible for
young people to marry in that country
without the consent of their parents
or legal guardians. Certain prescribed
forms must be gone through or the
marriage is null and void. When a
girl has arrived at what is considered
a manageable age her parents make
a point of inviting young men to the
house. and usually two or three are In
vited at the same time, SO that the at
tention may not seem too pointed. No
young man, however, IS invited to the
house until after he has called at least
once and thus signiled his wish to
have social intercourse with the fami-
,ly. In Germany a man must be at
least eighteen years old before he can
make a proposal. But when It Is made
and accepted the proposal is speedily
followed by the betrothal. This gen.
orally takes place privately, shortly
after which the father Of the bride
as she is then called gives a dinner or
supper to the most intimate friends Of
both families, when the fact is formal
" announced, and shortly after It be-
comes a matter Of public knowledge,

No Soft Bed For Him.

There is an immensely rich man in
New York who never slept on a bed
Of eiderdown, goose feathers, felt, hair
or excelsior. When boy he slept on
a pallet Of straw. When young man
his bed was an old fashioned shuck
mattress, in the making Of which he
assisted to the extent of sorting the
shucks. In the army qS61-5) he was
glad to sleep on the ground Later, as
a civil engineer, he reposed on a
puncheon, and now, rolling in wealth;
goes to bed every night on a trundle
bed which he bought from his aged
niger nanny" This affair Is not
over fourteen inches high and is cord
ed up with half inch hemp. There is
no mattress. and Of course there are
no springs. A rag quilt covers the
ropes, another covers his body as he
sleeps. His health Is superb. New
