von Tirpitz Is Reported to Have
Ignored kaiser's Orders.
BLAMED FOR DESTRUCTION OF ARABIC
Determined Attitude of Americans Is
Believed to Have Had Intended
Effect On German Plans.

Washington, d. C. - Admiral Won
Tirpitz, Germany's sea lord, may be
relieved from office as result of the
submarine concessions made to the
United States. This directing officer
of the German navy, the real father Of
the submarine plan to destroy COM
merce with England, irrespective Of
the fate of innocent men, women and
children, still is fighting the proposal
of the Berlin government to respect
the rules of humanity and information
al law upon the high seas.
There is suggestion in diplomatic
circles in Washington that Won Tirpitz
is really responsible for the sinking Of
the Arabic. 1t is even said that when
directed to issue instructions to the
submarine commanders not to attack
passenger liners, save under the rec
ognized procedure, he failed to do SO,
leaving these commanders to act under
the old instructions.
OF far greater moment at this juno
ture, however, is the prospect that Won
Tirpitz will endeavor to induce Emper-
or Wilhelm to stand behind his cam
paign and to refuse to make the con-
cessions which the chancellor has
granted through Herr Won Jagow, Ger
man foreign minister, and Count Won
Bernstorff, the German ambassador in
Washington.
In this connection, it is worthy OF
notice that Count Won Bernstorf is la
boring energetically to induce his
government to make formal and
binding declaration to the United
States similar to the informal repre-
sentations which have been made and
which are satisfactory, as far as they
go, to this government.
Count Won Bernstorf has advised his
government of the determined attitude
of President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing and of the American people.
He has impressed upon Herr Won Ja-
gov the necessity of complying with
American demands and the reports
which have reached him and have been
sent to the State department by Am
bassador Gerard indicate that the re-
ports of the ambassador have been
effective.

THE BOGY OF OLD AGE
SCARED AWAY az FAMOUS MEN
=. OF 80 YEARS YOUNG.
They Testify That Right Living and
Sound Thinking infuse New Life
Constantly Into Every Part
Of the Body.

Old age used to be regarded as an
lncurable disease; time to be looked
forward to with horror; period OF
useless cumbering OF the earth.
That bogy is scared away by the
testimony OF some of the living cele-
brities who have left the Biblical
'three-score-and-ten" landmark far be-
hind them.
| Says John Burroughs. the great
naturalist, at seventy-seven:
Il am In better health and more able
to do my work at seventy-seven than
was at forty-seven or at fifty-seven.
have produced more manuscripts
during the last three years than dur
ing any other three years of my life,
and of kind that has made unusual
intellectual demands upon me.
"Old Age is not such a bugaboo after
all. He is. In many ways. better to
live with than Youth. because he
leaves you more atyour ease; you are
in the calmer waters; the fret and
fever Of life have greatly abated. Old
Age brings the philosophical mind; he
brings a deeper, wider outlook upon
life; he brings more tolerance ana
charity and good will did not squan-
der my youth in excesses. and hence
| am not bankrupt in my old age"
| A novelist. who is six years older
than Burroughs and who writes six
hours day. gives this recipe for stay
ing young in the eighties:
Il have constantly given my mind
plenty of new thoughts, and this men
tai diet has kept me young. 1t is rou-
| tine that ages. Even in my sleep

that intellectual activity infuses life
into every part Of the body. As far as
possible ! avoid anger or worry. for
one hour of such debilitating mental
exercise destroys all personal mag
netism; and what passes between
them and the soul do not care to say.
| Il keep my health because ] keep
my Illusions l will not believe that
everyone is false. ] will not believe
that hope tells fiattering tale. or that
friendship is only name. or that
true love has fed from earth and that
the fear OF God has vanished. And.
above all other reasons for my good
health. place the vivifying power Of
love. Love Is life."
Cardinal Gibbons. eighty years old
and in the prime of his powers. says:
II believe firmly that the critical
time of life for the making or mar
ring of a sound constitution Is the
| period of youth. The seeds of weak
ness are sown in the system then; by
irregularity of life. particularly in the
hours allotted for sleep and rest; by
excess in eating and drinking; by
grosser excesses and by lack of proper
exercise.
| "The rules of health from which I
have never swerved from my youth
are: Regularity of life. moderation in
eating and drinking. exercise proper to
my age and profession. avoidance OF
worry and an ever-abiding trust in
Gods providence. l have always been
avaricious in the matter of sleep.

Thousands Are Gut Off by Floods;
Rescue Steamers Forced to Qui|

Little Rock, Ark. ~ Five thousand
people in the town of Newport, Ark,
are marooned by the flood waters of
White River.
According to a telephone message
received here, the populace is in des-
perate straits. Eight persons are re-
ported to have lost their lives.
The town is inundated to depth
ranging from to IL feet and most of
the population has sought refuge in
the upper floors of the hotels and the
courthouse.
Because of recent heavy rains, the
river rose to such an extent that all
the levees protecting the town gave
way, letting loose one of the most dis
astrous floods in the history of the
community.
Two steamboats, continued making
trips up and down the river in the vi
cinity of Newport and succeeded in
rescuing number of families from
the roofs of houses, whittier they had
gone to escape the flood. Finally the
food became too great, and the boats
had to withdraw.
All means of communication with
the town, save the telephone wires,
has been destroyed, and it was feared
that even the telephone wire would be
destroyed.
Several passenger trains are stalled
at Newport.
With food and water supplies almost
exhausted and with many refugees in
the town from other points along the
river, the situation was one which au-
thorities here considered grave.

Use Zinc as Nuggets.

A shoveler in one Of the Joplin zinc
mines who had seen in the movies how
the gold miners bought what they
needed with gold nuggets. recently
laid a small chunk of zinc ore on q
bar counter and called for beer.
The bartender served the drink to
him and laid down 20 cents in change.
and of course the crowd laughed and

Such is the spirit Of the Joplin zinc
boom, with crude zinc ore now worth
seven cents pound, which is about
so per cent higher than the refined
product spelter has averaged for many
