of the neutral nation affected. The
government of the United States is not
unmindful of the extraordinary condi-
tions created by this war, nor of the
radical alterations of circumstance
and method of attack produced by the
use of instrumentalities of naval war
fare which the nations of the world
can not have had in view when the
! existing lrules of international law
we're formulated and it is ready to
make every reasonable allowance for
these novel and unexpected aspects of
war at sea; but it cannot consent to
abate any essential, or fundamental
right of its people because of a mere
alteration of circumstance. The rights
of neutrals in time of war are
based upon principle, not upon eX-
pediency, and the principles are i'm
mutable. 1t is the duty and obliga-
tion of belligerents to find way to
adopt the new circumstances to them.
Asks For Lusitania DisavowaI
The events of the past two months
have clearly indicated that it is pos
sible and practicable to conduct such
submarine operations as have char
acterized the activity of the Imperial
! German navy within the so-called war
zone in substantial accord with the
accepted practices of regulated war
fare. The whole world has looked
with interest and increasing satisfac-
tion at the demonstration of the pos
sibility of German naval commanders.
1t is manifestly possible, therefore, to
lift the whole practice of submarine
attack above the criticism which 1t
has aroused and remove the chief
cause of offense.
In view of the admission of illegal
ity made by the Imperial government
when it pleaded the right of retalia.
tion in defense of its acts, and in view
of the manifest possibility of conform.
| ing to the established rules of naval
warfare, the government of the Unit
ed States cannot believe that the I'm

from disavowing the wanton act of its
! naval commander in sinking the Lusi-
| tania, or from offering reparation for
the American lives lost, so far as re

MAN BROUGHT TO JESUS
Declares Many Fathers Are Standing
In Way of Saving Souls of Their
Sons-Too Many People Prefer
Niceties of Life to Real SouI-win-

In sermon interspersed with sar.
casm, humor and direct appeal, DIR. l..
r. scarborough, of Southwestern Bap-
tist Seminary, of Texas, last night
of their childrens salvation and the
ministers who think more of the nice
ties of life than of the souls of men
The speaker seemed to be at his best
and kept the audience alternately
smiling and in solemn mood. While
there was no sensationalism about
his criticisms and filings at the min
listers, there was deep rebuke and an
earnest effort to awake the workers
out of their seemingly satisfied life
and work.
The speaker took the story of the
four men who brought the lame man
to the house where Jesus was in or
der that he might be cured of his in
trinity as the foundation Of his re.
marks
After giving the story in detail, DR..
Scarborough drew word picture OF
the entire scene from the time when
the four men met together and decid
ed to carry their friend to one who
could heal him until he emerged from
the house with his bed upon his back,
healed man in body and soul In
vivid detail he brought out each scene
and held the audience spellbound as
he portrayed the different incidents
Here were four men who did not
stand in the way of their fellow-man,"
said the speaker. They did not stand
in the way of their neighbor, but, on
the other hand, they discussed ways
and means of getting this man to
where he could be helped The sick
man. was probably a man with whom
the four had had business relations.
The men knew him as neighbor and as
fellow merchant. AS soon as they
heard of Jesus and His healing power,
they thought of their friend and neigh
Dor who had lain on a bed for long
time. Then they got busy.
MANY of you are not only standing
in the way of your fellow-man and re-
fusing to help him, but you are also
standing in the way of your own boys.
There are thousands of fathers stand
ing in the way of their sons salvation.
The BOYS are going the way that the
father is going-and that way leads
to ruin. You fathers must wake up
and realize your responsibility to your
own children and to your friends.
Some of you fathers in this audience
are leading your own children and
your friends to destruction. | appeal to
you men to go out after the lost. The
activities of men are needed in the
salvation of the world Just as these
four men went out after their friend

What would you think If Gertrude

"Oh, well; that is different. In the

Precisely. And Miss Grierson
shouldn't have done It. 1t is because
she can do such things that a few
think she wouldn't be pleasant per-

But why?" insisted Raymer, with
masculine obtuseness.
1t was his sister who undertook to
make the reason plain to him.
1T isn't anything she does, or
doesn't do, particularly; 1t is the at
mosphere in which she lives and
moves and has her being. If it weren't
for her fathers money, she would be-

Il don't" the brother contended,
doggedly. "She may be a trifle new
and fresh for Wahaska, but she is
clever and bright, and honest enough
to ignore a social code which makes
mock of sincerity and a virtue of
hypocrisy. l like her all the better
for the way she flared out at me
There isn't one young woman in a
thousand who would have had the
nerve and the courage to do It,"
"Or the impudence," added Mrs
Raymer, when her son had left the
room. Then: 81 do hope Edward isn't
going to let that girl come between
him and Charlotte!"
The daughter laughed.
Il should say there is room for 6

It is. Miss Gilman took particular
pains to let him know what train they

know he never went near the station
to tell them good-by."
