SAW GUNS ABOARD THE
,4lssa.yl STEAMSHIP LUsITANIA
But 1t Was sPrior to Sept. 5. When
British Merchant Craft Were Dis
armed.


Berlin, July % (by wireless teleg-
raphy to Sayv1lle, N Y.)-A dispatch
from Bucharest says that the ques-
ton whether the steamship Iusitania
was armed has been illuminated fur
ther by the testimony under oath of
Franz LudoIph, who at the outbreak
of the war was a sailor on the steam
er President Grant. Ludolph testified
that in the fall he was taken aboard
the 'Lusitania by a. friend who was
a member of the crew and saw four
guns covered with tarpaulins. 1t was
impossible to determine what kind of
guns they were. Their barrels were
three or four metres lcng.
Ludolph's friend said the Lusitania
was an auxiliary cruiser and there
fore armed. This man saw moving
picture of the departure of the Lusi-
tania, which showed guns being swung
around to prevent injury.
Similar affidavits concerning the
Lusitania were furnished to the Ger
man embassy at Washington last
month and submitted by it to the
state department in support of the
allegation of the German government
that the steamship was armed One of
these affidavits resulted in the arrest
in New York or Gustave Stahl, on a
charge of perjury, the department of
justice having decided there were no
guns aboard the vessel. Early in the
war, guns were carried on British
transatlantic steamships. On Sept s.
the state department at Washington
was notified by the British ambassador
that his government had decided to
disarm British merchant craft ply
ing between England and the United
States. The visit to the Lusitania
referred to in the foregoing dispatch
said to have been made last fall. may

HendersonTille Evangelist Holds Re-
= ViVal in New Bern.
The New Bern Daily Journal carries
the following poem from Rev. George
w. Belk, who has been holding a. ten
days union revival in New Bern:
While It Is Called Today.
If you've one good word in your heart
to say,
That would smooth some troubled
brow,
And do not delay till the funeral day,
But speak it in kindness now.
Don't wait till the precious one is dead
To open the spikenard rare,
Nor cover the casket with roses red.
Too late for love to share.
For the soul that gladdens and gives
good cheer
To the desolate while he lives,
Like a flowing fountain keeps sweet
and clear,
By the blessings it freely gives.
Just the fervent grasp of friendly
hand.
When our courage is almost gone,
As alone in the battle of life we stand
How it cheers us and helps us on. :
For a sunny smile and a pleasant race
And a word that is full of cheer
Will tighten the heart and brighten
the place
On the darkest day of the year.
And the silver-lining of Hope will glow
In the clouds that were dark before
And the song-birds come. and the
roses blow
AS they did in the days of yore!
Then open your heart and the good
word say
That will clear some clouded brow.
And do not delay till the fcneral day,
But speak it in kindness now.

CLEANUP DAY"

This expression has been heard SO
often recently that it sounds common
place 1t has been upon every lip In
almost every community, and 1t is
we'll that so helpful a slogan should
be sounded everywhere. 1t looks to
better sanitary conditions and to civic
order and beauty. These things are
worth striving for.
The tendency in human society is to
unsanitary and disorderly conditions.
Without occasional rallies dirt, filth
and disease would take possession of
things and life be made miserable
while the death rate would be greatly
increased. Some one says, however,
that he does not believe in being clean
and orderly by spells-that every day
ought to be cleanup day. So it
ought; but experience demonstrates
that if we are to approach the ideal
of continuous civic order and beauty,
and reach the maximum health condi-1
lions we must agitate and arouse the
people by occasional health and civic
campaigns. We will come to the ideal
ultimately when every day will be
cleanup day.
So it is in The higher realm Of the
spiritual. Let no man condemn the
occasional evangelistic campaign
which looks, not simply to the enlist
ment of men and women, boys and
girls, in the army of God, but rather
IT, the awakening of the church to
higher sense of the possibilities OF
righteousness and peace, and joy in
the Holy Ghost" Without these oc-
casions of agitation, the back alleys
and other secret places of religious
life in the individual are likely to be-
come depositors of moral. filth, and, if
not cleaned up, may result in spiritual
death. AS in sanitation and health
in civic beauty and orderliness- ap-
proach the ideal through the agitation
OF evangelistic effort-our revival
meetings-we constantly gravitate to-
ward that ideal state of the church
beautifully described by the Prophet
Jeremiah 31:31-34 and quoted by the
Apostle Heb. 8:10-11. Let US not for
sake our cleanup days. An annual
-or what is still better-a sem1-an-
-nual hauling out of old tin cans and
rubbish in every congregation will
greatly aid the new system of future
, which promises so much to the king
dom in the future.

FULL PREPARATION WILL BE
DEMANDED FROM GERMANY

- -
washington, May 13.-The United
States government today cabled AM
bassador Gerard for presentation to
the German government, a note CALI
ing attention to ethe grave situation
| which has resulted" from violation
OF American rights on the high seas,
eliminating in the sinking OF the
Lusitania with loss of more than LOO
American lives.
The communication expresses the
confident expectation Of the United
| States "that the Imperial German
government will disavow the acts or
which the government of the United
| States complains; that they will make
reparation so far as reparation IS
| possible for injuries which are with
out measure, and that they will take
| immediate steps to prevent the re-
currence of anything so obviously sub
| versive of the principles of warfare
| for which the Imperial German gov
eminent in the past so wisely and so
firmly contended.'
In its conclusion, the note states
that ''the Imperial German govern
rnent will not expect the government
or act necessary to the performance
of it's sacred duty of maintaining the
rights of the United States and its
citizens and of safeguarding their free
exercise and enjoyment"
Washington, May 1.-THE note sent
to Germany yesterday by the United
States government as sequel to the
Lusitania disaster was delayed IN
transmission because Of congested
cables and probably will not be pre-
scented by Ambassador Gerard to the
minister of foreign affairs in Berlin
until sometime tomorrow.
Secretary Bryan received a message
from Ambassador Thomas Nelson
Page, at Rome, saying the note, which
had been addressed to the American
embassy there, to be forwarded by
telegraph. had arrived at 2 p. M, to-
day and that in an hour and forty min
utes it had been copied and relayed to
Berlin by telegraph via Vienna. me
reason for the delay was not stated,
but state department messages ire
uuently have been held up in their cir
cuitous routes because they are III
code and require careful sending to
assure accuracy of the cipher groups.
The note had been sent over the
French cable from New York to
Havre, and thence by telegraph
through France to the American en-
bassy at Rome.
In diplomatic quarters there was
wide discussion of the note to Ger
many. Among representatives of the
allied powers the document was ap-
proved as we'll as by neutral ENJOYS
many of whom obtained copies from
the state department. The German
embassy-the one place where it was
natural to look for some inkling or in
timation of what Germany's position
would be-kept silent. Count Won
Bernstorff. the German ambassador,
in fact. called on Secretary Bryan
with the express purpose of warning
him that none of the published stories
was true which purported to give
ANONYMOUS views of theembassy stan
to the effect that Germany would re-
fuse to meet the American notes sug-
gestion. He asked cooperation OF
the state department to prevent the
spread of this transformation, ana
Mr.. Bryan made formal announcement
of the request.

Did you give him lift? He is a
brother man
And bearing about all the burden he
can.
Did you give him your hand? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand? He was
slipping down hill,
And the world, so | fancied was using
him ill.
Did you give him a word? Did you
show him the road?
Or did you just let him go on with the
the load?
Do you know what it means to be
losing the fight,
When a lift just in time might set
everything right?
Do you know what it means-just a
clasp of the hand
When a man has borne about all a
man ought to stand?
Did you ask what it was? Why the
quivering lip,
Why the half-suppressed sob, the
scalding tear drip?
Were you a brother of his when his
time came of need?
Did you offer to help him. or didn't
you heed?
