AMERICANS WILL
 BE PROTECTED
Gerard Reports That kaiser's Govern ment Will Concede That Much,
 But Continue Submarine War.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-AmericaA Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, has advised the Secretary of State that he has been semi-officially informed that the German foreign office ac. cepts the principle that American citizens must be protected, but has rejected the part of the American note which demands that the submarine warfare on merchant ships of Great Britain shall stop The German. gov. ernment's reply will be very specific and will go into all the details of the present difficulties between the Uh. tied States and Germany with view of cleaning off the slate and startin 2 anew if some means can be found tn settle the outstanding troubles.
 The report indicates that the Ger man foreign office is seeking to find some ground for a peaceful settlement of the trouble and is willing to con- cede to Americans protection of life even on British merchant ships, but will insist upon continuing to en. force the submarine blockade.

ConstantinopIe's Great Church.

The mosque of sancta Sophia, Con- stantinople, stands as the worlds greatest monument of Christian archi- lecture. Professor Paparrigopoulos, the Greek historian, whose estimate is re- garded as the most careful ever made, reckons the cost of ground, material, labor, ornaments and church utensils at about $64,OOO,OO0. The common estimate of the cost of St. Peters in Rome was something less than $48,- 100000, says the Geographic Maga- zine. No other Christian church has at all approached Sancta Sophia in the variety and priceless value of it's mar bles, in the prodigal employment of gold. silver and precious stones. and in the number and value of its sacred vessels. The expenditure for Sancta Sophia was doubtless greater than for any other sanctuary ever reared by any people to the glory of God.

What Is Iruth2

Everybody claims to want the truth. No man is so base or so cowardly as to want anything less. Pilates question, What is truth?" has never been fully answered. It is not fact, it is not ob- jective intelligence it is not the evi- dence of the senses. These are mere phases or incidents of truth. They may all be false. Truth is not from the outside. It is not material. It is not spiritual. It is the kindness of a deed and the nobility of an aspiration. This is the only truth in the world. It makes no difference what the teacher, the preacher, the editor, the lecturer says, the only truth in the world is the act of the loving and beautiful soul. The Bible says, As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." That is in his spirit. as expressed in his conduct. Every man who builds his life on that idea is a forerunner of the millennfum.-Ohio State Journal.

Spuraeon and Major Pond.

Major Pond, who was responsible for introducing to the public some of the greater and lesser lights of the lecture platform had many an experi- ence full of eccentric humor. Some times his charges met him with the greatest good humor. Often those whom he approached felt compelled to beat back his persuasions almost at the point of the bayonet, for nobody was so persuasive as Major Pond.
 The great preacher, Charles Spur geon, repulsed him in an ascending scale of denial. The first reply ran:
 Ut will only be waste of time for ycu to see me, as I am not at all in your line."
 The second said:
 Your good natured pertinacity is so admirable that trust you will not waste it upon an impossible object. The whole United States in bullion would not tempt me to deliver one such lecture"
 The third reply was conclusive:
 q have in as plain manner as pos sible declined to make your acquaint- ance, and I beg, with all courtesy and decision, to do the same again. l know your business, and l have no wish to enter upon it further"

RIGGS BANK CASE
 |S STILL 0N Defendants Have Big Array of High. Class Legal TaIent-Untermey-
 CT Joins Defense.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-The fight by the Riggs National Bank officials against the Treasury Department Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams continued all of today. The defendants, represented by Attorney Brandeis, one of the leading attor neys of the east, Samuel Untermeyer the New York attorney for many biz corporations, Attorney General Greg ory and many of his staff and the attorneys for the Treasury Depart ment, are making hard fight to have the case thrown out of coult but have so far failed although Jus. tice Mccoy has intimated that he sees no evidence of conspiracy as far as the testimony is now in
 MT. Untermeyer today charged that the Riggs Bank had a pipe line to the Treasury building from the bank building and had obtained large de. posits from previous administrations which had given the Riggs bank spec ial privileges, but when the present administration had cut off the illicit favors enjoyed by the bank, the suit had followed.
 The case still attracts much inter- est. ,...
