Somnolent Egyptians.

Egyptians can lie down and 60 to
sleep anywhere. They look around
until they find q particularly busy
place in the street where there Is q
patch Of shade, wrap q dusty cloth
around their faces. curl up and peace
fully glide of into a dreamless sleep.
In walking along the street one has
to be careful of every splotch Of shad-
ow that he comes to for fear Of step
ping on a natives face. Even when
you do step on this usually sensitive
part of the anatomy, they merely sit
up, yawn thankfully that you are a
medium.sized man and lazily turn over
on the other side. But these are the
people that the papers are quoting as
being in bloody revolt. The only dan
ger of revolt would be IL some coun'
try should come along and pass a law
prohibiting the use of all shady spots
from one till three. Then there would
be trouble-the amount of bloodshed
makes even the most nninterested
shudder.-Homer Croy in Leslie's
Weekly.

American NovelIsts Not Happy When

Herrick In the Yale Review. Our lux

thing about us as q people; in all the

uncertain and ephemerial-the most
uncharacteristic. And yet our news.
papers, magazines and novels are al
most insanely preoccupied with Ameri

Optimism of Administra-
ton Dampened by RAM
ming Incident.
SEE PRESIDENTS
POINT VERIFIED
Proves Impossibility of Sub.
marines Complying with Rules
of International Law.

| Washington, June 2O.-The alleged
ramming of the German submarine
/ U-29 by British tank steamer
carrying the Swedish flag" has aroused
considerable apprehension here as to
its effect upon the German govern
ment's reply to the note of President
Wilson. While high officials continue
/ optimistic as to the tone of the Ger
man answer, there is an undercurrent
Of feeling, nevertheless, that the ram
| ming will give the war party ammu-
milton with which to fight the making
Of a conciliatory answer.
According TO the unofficial reports
received here, the U-29 was sunk
while investigating the character Of
the British vessel, and that this has
made profound impression upon the
German people. That the incident will
be seized upon by Admiral Won Tir-
pitt and his fellow militarists in Ger
many to enforce their demands for an
abrupt note to this country is believed
here
Others believe, however, that the
friendly tone Of President Wilson's
note has made such a profound i'm
preston that it will require more
than the sinking of a submarine to
counteract it. Indeed, some officials
say the loss Of the U-29 viii drive
home a most potent argument of Pres
ident Wilson in his note of May 10
which was that it is impossible fol-
submarines TO comply with the rules
of international law regarding tn
right of visit and search, and, there
fore, their use should &c discontinued
In some circles II is asserted tina
Germany may cite tho sinking Of tn
U-29 by British vessel, alleged to b
flying the Swedish flag, as an argumen
in favor Of the continuance of thi
mode Of warfare 1t is not improbabl
that the German government will poin
out that il is impossible for il to com
ply with the rules of international law
at least in so far as the safety of tn,
crew is concerned, so long as British
vessels hide their identity by fynl
neutral flags. This latter occurrence
should it prove to be true, will no doub
cause much irritation TO this govern
ment. The United States has alread!
protested to Great Britain against tn,
use Of neutral flags on its ships, anC
asked that it be discontinued.
Germany has already endeavored &c
justify the use Of its submarines or
the ground of the misuse of neutral
flags, and should it prove true that the
U-29 was thus rammed there seems
| little doubt that Germany will use the
incident to justify the continuance OF
| its undersea warfare.

elevation of 7,4S6 feet, and had
dragged mountain guns thither, their
position became endangered by sue
cessive and heavy reinforcements OF
the enemy on a ridge to the north.
To dislodSe the Austrians two ST.
multaneous attacks were arranged for
midnight, June IA, one on the Monte
Potoce side, the other on the side OF
Monte Kodiak. 1t was dark night,
and the critical nature of the action
made it supremely important that the
attackers should use no lights ana
make no noise. They were under or

was absolutely necessary. !,
Italy's marvellous Alpini removed
their boots, swathed their feet IN
linen and, armed with rifles, bayonets
and hand bombs, began scaling the
perilous and almost perpendicular
crags with a daring which only those
who have watched them at work and
who are, moreover, familiar with the
astounding topography Of that region,
can adequately appreciate. by Z:ou
in the morning they had crept quite
unobserved within three yards OF the
enemy's trenches. An order was Wills
pered around, and the Alpini, with
/ furious bounds, leaped into the first
rows of the Austrian intrenchments,
bavonetting the stupefed occupants
and INJECTING great injuries with
pieces of rock and the butt ends OF
rifles.
In this way two wnole companies of
outposts were annihilated and two
more companies, which shortly at
tempted to take their places, suffered
for the most part the same fate.
Thus far not one shot had been fired,
but the shrieks of the overwhelmed
Austrians had attracted attention and
before long an entire battalion of
Hungdrians who were concentrated at
Planina Polia were seen advancing up
the slopes. The Italians kept quiet
and let them come on until they gained
the foot of the last peak. Then, roll
ing down boulders and pouring inces-
SAINT volleys into their ranks, the AL
PM sent the remnant of the battalion
flying in all directions and captured
their commander and other Austrian
officers.

everybody wanted no peace but a peace
which would secure Germany a secure
and honorable future, and that the
German people would never forgive
the statesman who yielded TO American
menaces. lie continued:
"'Let America seize our ships and
the rest Of our property. The United
States cannot, by declarin~ war, do us
any more harm than il is doing US at

that we have at stake? We desire to
hold out against all our enemies,
