CAN'T CHANGE POLICY.
Berlin Newspapers Say American Pol
icy Is Inconsistent.

Berlin, May IS (via London).-The
evening newspapers, discussing die
American note to Germany agree that
it is impossible for Germany to aban-
don her submarine warfare. Various
newspapers point OF what they re-
gard as the inconsistency of the Wash
ington government ''in asserting
against Germany the right of Amerl-
can citizens to go wherever they please
on the seas, but abandoning that right
against England" and also in admit
ting "the legality of England's dec
laration of war zone, but protesting
against Germanys submarine zone"
1t is further pointed out by the
newspapers that the American note
admits the right Of German vessels
to- search British vessels and to cap
ture item if they are carrying con-
traband. But it is declared that
washington must know this right is
rendered illusory through England's
course of arming merchantmen and Or
dering them to ram submarines, by
which Capt. Otto Wsddingen Zone of
Germany's submarine commanders
lost lis life.
TIE newspapers complain that the
note is fully in accordance with the
standpoint that the Lusitania
was a harmless merchant vessel and
ignores the fact that she was armed
and carried munitions. The Kreuze
Zeitung asserts that Germany was
thoroughly right in demanding that
neutrals avoid the war zone.

clover has come into its own. 1t must
be valuable Wonder if any one has
told Supervisor Sample that tie ladies
and others interested, some willie ago,
had a landscape architect to come over
to Newberry at considerable expense
to lay out these grounds, and tell the
ladies how to plant the trees, and that
tie convicts spent several days or
weeks or months in grading and plan
ming and working this place so as to
make it beautiful lawn, and that it
should not be turned over to any such
sordid purpose as raising burr clover.
Wonder if any one has told Mr.. Sample
that the growing of burr clover will
kill all the grass which has been start
ed at such trouble and expense? Won
der if any one has whispered to Mr..
Sample that the ladies are very much
up in arms against this mercenary
spirit which he is exhibiting in raising
burr clover on what was intended to
be a beautiful lawn, and to be moved
regularly so that the grass might
grow? Now, I know Mr. Sample, that
is, 1 have seen Tim, and 1 have always
heard he was a very reasonable man,
and very much of diplomat, and am
sure if some one will see him or sN-
plain all this to MIN he will do just
what the ladies want him to do and
t1ere will be a very beautiful grass
lawn growing-that's it-groWing on
the court house square. And then he
should put Gene Werts and Jonn Epps
and Cannon Blease and Claude Schum-
pert and George Brown and John Cog
gans out there by turns and let them
do the moving and the other work
that is necessary to keep the lawn
beautiful. 1t will help them to get
little exercise.

SPEED OF THE ETONIAN
ALL THAT SAVED HER

Boston, May 18.-Capt. W. W. Wood,
of the Leland line steamer Etonian,
said he was prevented from going to
the aid of the sinking Lusitania by a
warning that an attack might be made
on his own vessel.
The Etonian left Liverpool May g.,
the day before the disaster. Forty
miles from Kansdale she received a
wireless cali from tie Lusitania for
immediate assistance. The call was
also picked up by the City of Exeter
and Narragansett. The Narragansett,
Capt. Wood said, was attacked, tor
pedo missing her by a few feet, and
her commander then warned Capt.
Wood not to attempt to reach the
Lusitania.
at was in the afternoon of May 7
that we received the wireless sos" :"
said Capt. Wood. 81 was about AZ
miles from the position he gave me.
The Narragansett and the City of
Exeter were ahead Of me. The Mar
ragansett was closer to the Lusitania
and sne answered the sos.
cat 5 p. m. 1 observed the City of
Exeter cross our bows and she sig
nailed: "Have you heard anything Of
the disaster?'
cat that moment 1 saw the peri
scope of a submarine between the
Etonian and the City of Exeter about
a quarter of mile directly ahead of
us. She dived as soon as she saw US.
81 signalled to the engine room for
every available inch of speed. Then
We saw tie submarine come up astern
of us, and we left her slowly.
'No sooner had We lost sight of the
submarine astern than made out an
other on the starboard bow. This one

sistance of the Lusitania One Of the
submarines discharged a torpedo at
her and missed her by not more tnan
eight feet. The Narrangansett then

People Who Do Big Things Do Not Let
Themselves Be Held.
It was on the football field at one OF
the large colleges. a big tackle had
been brought over to the varsity field
from one Of the class eievens. 1t was
his first experience with the big team
He played fine game until the other
side had the ball. Then he did not
"break through" as he should. The
coach finally stopped the play ana
went over to him.
What is the trouble? Why don't
you get through?" he said.
1.-The man opposite me is not playing
fair. He is holding me" said the
tackle.
IF be holds you again I'll put you
off the feld" flashed back the coach
OF course. as the tackle said, it is
against the rules to hold an opponent
unless he has the ball. but the coach
wanted results and not excuses. His
position was that i man ought somehow
to break away; that no man must let
himself be held And that is true, no
one ought to let himself be held. The
excuse may be excellent. but player
who is held is put out of the game as
effectively as if be were off the field.
He might just as we'll be off the field,
The people who accomplish things
worth while in the world are those
who will not let themselves be held.
There have always been things enough
to hold them. They might have found
excellent excuses, but they have not
had to use any excuses.-Youth's Com
panion.

The winner of the race was one OF
the few single teams in the contest.
The horse driven by the Newberry
team is 25 years old, and for I2e past
II years participated in the annual
tournaments. He has been a winner
a number of times and is perhaps the
best trained fire horse in the State. He
knows much more about tournaments
and races, as well as fires, than many
drivers and firemen.

{ By Rudyard Kipling.)

By Rudyard Kipling)
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
If you can trust yourself when all men
are doubling you,
But make allowance for their doubt
ing too;
If you can wait and not be tired by
waiting
Or being lied about, don't deal in
lies,
Or being hated don't give way to hat
ing,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk
too wise;
If you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat these two imposters just
the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves and make a trap
for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life
to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with
worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your
winnings,
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-
toss,
And lose, and start again at your be-
ginnings
And never breathe a word about
your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve
and sineW
To serve your turn long after they
are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing
in you
Except the will which says to them:
Hold on
If you can talk with crowds and keep
your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the
common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friend can
hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none
too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds worth Of distance
run,
Yours is the Earth and everything
1hat's in it,
And-which is more-youu be
man, my son!
