The letter further declared that
Germany was most to blame for the
sinking of the English passenger ship
Mauretahia, which was torpedoed with
out warming by an American sub
marine. with the loss of 115 Germans,
women and children. because Ger

Vertlsed by the American ambassador
here.
This letter. however, was considered
unpohlic. IT was replaced by a resolu-
eon which demanded that the German
government warn it's citizens not to
traverse hat portion of the high seas
reserved by the. United States as a
war zone and stop the shipment of
nluIIeiomS to that country's antag-
oniSt. The resolution further says:

be curtailed."
In a later speech President Jones
said: There is just one thing we will

the United States. At the polls we

We have tried to make this fanciful ac

Where It Was Appropriate.

"US'S - WAC HHHuORTSdeO
Lord Kitchener, it is said, is very
pleased with the result of the present
temperance move.
1--WE are all temperate now." said
his lordship recently.
TO get drunk is an unheard-of thing
among gentlemen. If gentleman
ever gets drunk nowadays he has, you
may be sure, a remarkable excuse to
offer" To illustrate his point Lord
Kitchener told this story:
A major, after a fancy dress ball at
Simla. came home drunk and his
shocked wife said to him: ,
Aren't you ashamed to return from
the ball in that condition"
Don't blame me, my DEAR" said the
major; you must remember that the
character i assumed was that of a
sponge"

RAILROAD EFFICIENCY.

The efficiency of a railroad may
be judged by the amount expended
in clearing wrecks, and in meas
ure this feature impresses the pub
lie with the safety Of travel over-a
road. On every railroad, however,
the hazard of wrecks exists no mat
ter how careful the management is,
for there is, unfortunately,.in some
department or train crew, at some
time, an employee who will "take a
chance" Then, too, there is always
the natural danger of washouts,
fires on bridges, ETC., over which
the management he's no control
and with which the best managed
roads in the country have to con-
tend.
That the railroads in the South
ern group have made tne show
ing in the matter Of expense OF
clearing wrecks, is a guarantee OF
the safety of travel to the public,
as the following statistics show:
: For instance, in 1913, the roads
in the Southern group expended
for clearing wrecks "a cents out of
every 500 in revenue received, or
out of their revenues of $453, $780,
40, they expended Sl,099, 1O9.
For the same year the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail
way expended only 5 cents and IL
mills out of each 500 Of revenue
in clearing wrecks, or S7,663 out of
$13,3l7,000 revenue.
While the revenue of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway decreased to $l0,936, 532
in 1915, it expended only $6,52l in
clearing wrecks, or 5 cents and 8
mills out of every 500 revenue
received. This shows that while
the cost Of labor and material were
advancing the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. louis Railway kept
it's operating expenses down in tie
matter of clearing wrecks.
The safety Of travel over the
system is also shown in the fact
that for the past three years the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Lonis Railway has not killed a
passenger in wreck, although
within that time nearly ten mil
lions Of passengers have been han
died on its trains approximately
one-tenth of the population of the
United States.

HORNETS CAPTURE LIVE
 TARANTULA.

Mrs. Bernie Babcock, the we'll known author, whose home is on Palm street in Pulaski Heights, was the witness to an entomo- logical tragedy of more than the usual order one day this week, when some neighboring boys called her attention to a battle being waged between a score or more of little red hornets and a big black tarantula in nearby yard.
 The hornets stung the big spider into submission, Mrs. Babcock says, and then literally pulled the helpless creature into their nest, where evidently they intended to make food of it. Some of the boys who had been studying up on natural history declared that the hornets make a practice of storing tarantulas for winter food. Mrs. Babcock saw them at their work.
