Washington. July 27-Destruction
Of the American ship Leelanaw by q
German submarine drew sharply to
the. attention of officials of the U. 8.
government the fact that Germany
was insisting on her own inter
probation Of the Prussian-American
treaty of 1928 in disregard Of two
American notes on the subject.
In three instances Of American
ships destroyed or damaged-the Gulf
light. the Nebraskan and the William
p. Frye-Germany has agreed to pay
damages-and in the last case the
Berlin government took the position
that 1t had not violated the treaty Of
1928 but had exercised q right given
by inference from the language OF the
pact.se
Messages from American Consul
Dennison at Dundee, Scotland. and
Consul General Skinner at London,
telling Of the torpedoing and sinking
Of the Leelanaw we're received at the
State Department. The messages said
all the crew were saved and landed
at Kirkwal.
Consul Dennison's message said:

German submarine, July Is. Whole
crew landed at Kirkwall, in their own
boats. Have instructed the consular
agent to send them to Dundee imme-
diately."
Consul General SINNERS message
was almost identical.
A dispatch from Kirkwall to the
Central News agency says that after
the members of the crew left the Lee
lanaw about dozen shots were fired
at the steamer. They failed to sink
her, however. and she ultimately was
sent to the bottom by torpedo. The
members of the crew were taken
aboard the submarine, the dispatch
adds, and were well treated. When in
sight Of the Orkney Islands the men
were ordered to return to their boats,
and the submarine disappeared.
The episode has created widespread
discussion in England, coming, as It
did. almost coincidental with the do
livery of the American note to Ger.
many.
Only meaere accounts Of the de-
struction of the I-eelanaw have been
received but 1t is clear that the sub
marine gave the commander of the
steamer ample warning, even permit
ting the crew to collect part of their
effects before taking them aboard the
underwater craft, which then, through
the combined use Of shell fire and
torpedo. sent the vessel to the bottom.

She does not know the existence of she is therefore trustful and true to, her sweet girIiah nature, condding. The heart of youth warns easily and quickly from Friendship to love A few meetings, elasping of the hands. eyes looking tenderness into eyes that respond and the sleeping heart Of 5 young girl awaxens. That is love.
 She asks not if he has house or lands, if his ancestors were kings or peasants, in short what the future ctlt- look is to be- She only knows that life would be incomplete to her without the presence of hi1n who has grown dear to her.
 edge of years is competent to affix 3. sliding scale of value to would be wooer. first and foremost taking into consideration his ability as a money maker. his possessions inherited or ac- qs1ired. If he is rich, she shuts her eyes to many Of the moral delinquent cies, but hers is not love.
 The young girl does not realize that there can be grave perils in choosing and loving the wrong man, whose nor als are graVe1y at fault, and who has no high ideals of the sanctity of love and marriage which should last a life time. For that reason much care in safeguarding innocent young girls should be exercised by those who have their welfare at heart. and the power Jo permit the young man Of good hab- it's to call and to bar their door to the handsome Lothario who has a mania for breaking girls, hearts and leaving them to mourn. It is murder pure and simple of the girls hopes, peace, and her heart. but it is not punishable by law.
 The majority of very young girls are not competent to judge between honest young men and libertines No harm is done at the first meeting or the latter it is by meeting the per- suasive neser-do-weiI again and again the miscEaief creeps in Great care should be taken to keep innocent lambs out of the reach of these love sharks
 It is for the old and wise to decide whether man should be welcomed to the sacred family nresida or be ex- cluded from 1t. Young girls should be pitied for having such a responsi- bility thrust upon them They make their choice blinded. by the tr1stful- ness of Hnsuspecting youth There is only one way in which young girls can be made to safeguard themselves, and that is to be taught the dangers that lie in secret love afhairs and above all else, not to have confidence in the man who counsels it. no matter what smooth reason he may artf1iIy set forth. Do not keep a love amafr, from your folks, dear girls. if you woElld have 1t prosper and turn out well.
