which is denounced specifically or I'M

theory Of literature and to realize that
the poets aud noyelists and essaylst5
are men who are trying to unity and

literature squarely, recognize in 1t

in order to give our students any love

Soldiers Wills.

In olden times everybody who was
in the happy position of having per-
sonalty to bequeath was free to make
will verbally or by an unattested
writing. This right, restricted by the
Statute Of Frauds, was abolished by
the wills act OF 1897, subject, how
ever, to the reservation that soldiers
on actual military service, and ma
vines, on sea, were still competent to
dispose of their personally as they
might have done before. Hence all
the soldiers and sailors on duty
have, so far as the disposition of
their worldly goods is concerned, a
larger freedom than that possessed
by the kings subjects who are stay
ing at home. AS rule, too, wills
are valid only If the persons making
them have reached the age of twenty
one. There Is judicial authority for
saying that even this restriction does
not apply to soldiers and sailors on
active service.-Tit-Bits

Nations Wiser Part.

Since the foolish part of mankind
will make wars from time to time with
each other, not having sense enough
otherwise to settle their differences,
1t certainly becomes the wiser part,
who cannot prevent those wars, to
alleviate as much as possible the ca
lamities attending them.-Benjamin

 Shortly afterwards the enemy sent out hydro -aeropfarles which attacked our ships These hydro-aeroplane at tacks were without result. Their pro- jectiles missed our vessel and they were driven off by our artillery.

Eludes Attacks From Undersea And Aerial
 Blockaders of Kaiser

Rotterdam, June 7.-After being att tackled in succession by 8 Zeppelin, a submarine, and a. German aeroplane, the Cork Steamship conpany's ship Lestris has reached this port safely from Liverpool.
 There were more thrills packed into this short voyage than ever before be- fell seamen,'' declared the captain on landing. The first part of the trip was uneYentful, but as we neared the Dutch coast things began to happen. First came a Zeppelin, which attacked us before daybreak one morning drop ping twenty or thirty bombs. Consid- ering that we carried all the regula- ton lights we were lucky not to be hit.
 Soon after sun-up, having lost the Zeppelin, in the haze, we sighted a. submarine half a mile away. She gave chase, but we sent every man. to the stokehold and steered a zigzag course, so that the submarine quit the pursuit after half an hours hard work.
 Tt was a little later in the same day that an aeroplane favored us. She circled overhead several times and dropped two bombs, but her am1nunf- tion was evidently scarce, and she didn't stay with us long. Neither bomb came close to us."

DENY THAT LIBAU I IS FORTIFIED PORT

London, June "A Reuter- des- patch from Petrograd says:
 statements appearing in German newspapers to the effect that Libau is aA fortress and naval base are de- nied here. It is stated that in 1910 Libau was abandoned on a fortress, that it's forts were completely dis mantIed and that it is now an open seaport.
 That the Germans expected to find there important war material is proved by their sending many steam CTS to carry away booty but they were disappointed as at the beginning of mobilization all important or valuable property was removed.
 The Russians assert they intended to maintain Iibau only while their fleet there predominated but from the time the German naval forces became superior no serious attempt was made to remain masters of the city, which is outside the region for development of land and sea forces and would not have justified the nec- essary dispersal of troops.

GERMANS CAPTURE
 1000 PRISONERS
 IN PRZEMYSL FALL


 Ber1in. June Especial despatches received in Berlin from Austrian head quarters give certain details of the capture of Przemys1 by the Austro- Germans which have not hitherto been published The Tuetonic allies took seven thousand prisoners, 31 cannon and 90 machine guns when they en- tered Przemysl. The Russian garrison had been given orders to hold PrzemySl to the last man but they were over whelmed by the terrific artillery fire of the Germans and Austrians-
 Everything indicates that the leu tonic allies are beginning the sixth week of their Ga1ician campaign with a promising outlook. The Russians have lost their line the river San and they appear also about to lose their positions on the river Dneister. These same advices indicate further that the Russians to the east and northeast of Czernowitz already have begun to retreat.
