Has Eaten 200 Miles
The coast survey work of the federal
government reveals the fact that there
is a line at a distance varying from
100 to 200 miles off the Atlantic coast
UP to which the water has a depth of
less than 900 feet. Beyond that line
the depth Immediately becames ten
times as great. That line, the geo.
logistsS are now convinced, was origi-
naIIy the coast line of the continent.
The sinking of that coast line has
eaten off 200 miles all along the east
ern border of the United States. Out
from New York harbor surroundings
have revealed the presence of deep
channel which leads through compare
lively shallow water until 1T reaches
this ancient coast line. This is the bed
of the Hudson river as it existed in
ages past Big ships still follow this
channel in putting out to sea.
Geologically. it has been proved that
Chesapeake Bay was originally but a
river bed. The subsistence of the earth
has widened it. century after century
until IL has become 4 great arm of the
ocean. an inland waterway of mag
ni1cent dept. Every river and creek
that flows into it, the Potomac, the
James and all those streams reaching
into tidewater Virginia - hundreds of
sluggish water courses carrying no Inn
portant amount of water-are of such
depth that they might furnish anchor
questionably, these sluggish streams
could not have eroded these beds for
themselves. Their depth can only be
explained by the subsistence of the
These evidences of subsidence are to
be observed from Maine to Mexico. The
whole Atlantic seaboard Is undoubtedly
sinking into the sea; the fact is ad-
The startling thing about these ad-
missions is the conclusion that must
be drawn from them. If the Atlantic
coast line is sinking into the sea, the
great populous cities of the nation that
are placed upon 1t must eventually be
sucked beneath 1t. New York, Boston

Business on Manhattan will be trans

WILL NOT ABATE ONE
JOT OF HER RIGHTS

Berlin, July 12.-Commenting on
the German reply to the American
note dated June 9, relative to Ger
many's submarine warfare and its ef-
feet on American interests, the
Morgen Post says:
The answer in every way is worthy
OF Germany. 1t shows the calm of a
good conscience, a willingness to les
sen the fearfulness of war as far as
possible, and an upright wish to live
in peace with America. But it also
expresses q firm will not to abate one
jot or title of Germanys rights. The
answer clearly shows that the re-
sponsibility for the form of subma-
rine warfare rests on Great Britain.
The Morgen Post quotes the Ameri.
can note where it declares that the
government of the United States
cannot admit that the proclamation OF
a war zone from which neutral ships
have been warned to keep away may
be made to operate as in any degree
an abbreyiation of the rights either oi
American shipmasters or of American
citizens bound on lawful errands as
passengers on merchant ships of bel
ligerent nationality" and says:
This was a point on which Amer
ican and German conceptions were
opposed to each other and il must be
pointed out that this difference oI
opinion also is not compromised by
the new German note. but that rather
lures"

SAYS JAMES GANG
DID The KILLING

Fresno. Cal, July 12.-The Missouri
cattleman and his son who were muir
dered at Siam, Ia. in 1868 were slain
by a gang of which Frank and Jesse
James were leaders, according to c.
p. Huntsman, a Fresno real estate
man, nephew of Bates Huntsman, now
under arrest at Bedford, la. in con.
nection with the murder Huntsman
said he would leave for Bedford i'm
mediately to assist in the defense of
his uncle.
Huntsmans father, Or. G. r. Hunts
man, and Bates Huntsman buried the
bodies and the 100000 belonging to
the cattleman, but did so at the or
ders of the James boys, says the
Fresno man. Although not born when
the murder was committed he says
the story was told by his father and
uncle and has been known in the
family for years, His story in brief
is
"On the night the two were killed
DR.. Huntsman, who had been visiting
at his brothers home. was summoned
to attend Mrs Floyd Collins, who was
i'll in the cabin of Jonathan Dark.
Bates Huntsman accompanied the
physician. They came upon the
James boys and their gang just after
the murder had been committed.
The two men were backed up
against a tree and Bates Huntsman
was forced, under threat of death, to
bury the two bodies, while DIR. Hunts
man buried the gold.
Although members of the family
sought to have Or. Huntsman reveal
the hiding place he died without re-
vealing its location, although in later
years he was touched by poverty"
