The Rock Of Gibraltar.

The rock of Gibraltar, taking into
consideration the far-carrying guns
that are now being cast. will be even
of greater importance because of its
commanding position at the mouth OF
the Mediterranean. where that sea is
little more than twenty miles wide
about as wide as from Calais to Dover.
Gibraltar was captured by the British.
July "a. 1904, and from that day has
not been out Of British hands. AT first
little was thought of the importance
of this stronghold. For the succeeding
nine years the Spaniards made repeat
ed attempts to recapture it. On one
occasion they nearly succeeded.

collected on the isthmus that joins the
rock to the mainland, goatherd offer

RIDE ON AMERICAN SHIPS.

lDeS MONIES capital
No American should go to Europe
unless he IS compelled to do SO. If
he is compelled TO go, he should ride
on an American ship under the Ameri-
can flag. Then, if the ship is sunk, his
country will know just what it means.
But his ship will not be sunk. He
will ride securely into harbor unless
his ship strikes one Of the thousands
of floating mines that are around all
the coasts Of Europe. The mine is an
outlaw murderer but he can not go
a long distance from shore. This
murderer must keep within ten or 1f-
teen miles of the coast as result OF
the action of the waves.
It is not bad advice to tell anyone
to remain at home.
It is not bad advice to tell men to
ride on American ships. We must do
everything to make America independ-
emit. If this country had been indie
pendent industrially and financially at
the beginning Of the war, the present
situation would have been much bet
ter.
Another aid would be to ship out all
the representatives of all the literary
bureaus Of Europe. Every such man
should be told to pack his grip sack
and get out.
This is not an American war. We
| have troubles Of our own. The Ameri-
can people have spent hundred mil
| lion dollars iii taking caEs 81 nom
combatants of Europe. The European
countries are spending practically
nothing.

In one place an excellent imitation

Sickness among the refugees has

their arrival. Only one adult has
