Whistles Are Failure
Sheriff Rose once thought seriously
Of giving each crossing statue whistle
on which to blow signals. This idea
died shortly after. borpin when, dnrI

Of appopiexy. w.
Someone suggested that a similar

simple expedient of fastening a section
of 2x4 to the cord attached 10 each
whistle, so that when policeman swal,
lowed his whistle the instrument might
be recovered, never mind how deeply il

Some Of tho Objections
There were other objections to the

jected on the ground that Il would give
him a pair Of lips like an Ethiop. An

Commons, "holds no more mag
nifcent example of discipline and
endurance, of individual and col

In fact, the crisis of the eastern

Russians equal to the demands
made on them, at the very time
when their allies were ready to con-
cede that they had been outfought

To attain a memorable victory

pinch, Russia has summoned the
strength to dispute their path sue
cessfully.
! In answer to the. opslauShts Of
the Germans from the North and
the Austro-G Germans from the South
of Warsaw, the Russian command
ers have delivered series of smash
ling counter attacks, which, for the
time being, at least, have proved
telling, both in their destructive
effect on the forces of the enemy
and in retaining for them their own
defensive positions.

W1hSf1l N1I yin, jury o.
w The destruction of the
American steamship Leelanaw
was not a deliberately unfriend-
" act" in the sense of the last
American note to Germany, but
the state department is preparing
a note in which it will maintain
that it was none the less viola
ton Of the treaty of 1923 between
the United States and the King
dom Of Prussia. Therefore dam
ages will be asked.
The testimony Of Captain Delk,
master OF the Leelanaw, forward
ed to Secretary Lansing by Con-
sul-General Skinner, shows two
facts which are of the essence Of

will maintain, he had a right to
do, without prejudicing his case.
International law, Secretary Ian
sing contends, contains proceed
ent after precedent to establish
the right of a merchant captain
to show his pursuer his heels, il
he can.
The fact therefore that Captain
Delk tried his best to get away
but failed, will not affect hi:
standing at law, it is held, which
rests on the contention thai
