characterized the activities of the I'M
peTial German navy within the So
called war-zOne in substantial accord
with the accepted practices of regu-
lated warfare. The whole world has
looked with interest and increasing
satisfaction at the demonstration of
that possibility by German naval
commanders. It is manifestly pos
sible, therefore. to lift the whole
practice of submarine attack above
the criticism which it has aroused
and remove the chief cause of Of
Tense.
In view of the admission of il
legality made by the imperial gov
eminent when it pleaded the right Of
retaliation in defense Of its acts, and
in view of the manifest possibility of
conforming to the rules of estab-
Iished naval warfare, the govern
ment of the United States cannot be-

will longer refrain from disavOwing
the wanton act of its naval comman-

lives lost, so far as reparation can be
made for a needless destruction Of
human lives by an illegal act.
1.-THE government of the United
States and the imperial German gov

great object, having long stood to-
gether in urging the very principles
upon which the government of the
United States now so sOlemnly in

the freedom of the seas.
Friendship itself prompts the
United States to say to the imperial
government that repetition by the
commanders of German naval vessels

U. S. NOTE SHARP AND TO THE
POINT-DELIVERED TODAY
Washington, July President
Wilson's note to Germany, made
public last night, is intended as a
final warning from the United States
that no further attacks must be made
on American merchant ships by Ger
man submarines and carries a yelled
threat of stern action in the event
that the warning is not needed and
there is a repetition in contraVention
of neutral rights.
''The government of the United
States will continue to contend for
the freedom of the seas, from what
ever quarter violated, without COM
promise and at any cost" the note
declares.
Repetition by the commanders Of
German naval vessels of acts in con-
prevention of neutral rights must be
regarded by the government of the
United States, when they affect
American citizens, as deliberately I'M

Alabama Child Labor Bill
Signed By Governor

Montgomery, Feb. 28.-Governor
Henderson affixed his signature to-
day to the child labor bill and the
bill abolishing the state oyster COM

Alabama the most stringent mea-

children that has ever been passed
by legislature in any state.
1t prohibits the employment of
children under fourteen years, in
any gainful occupation after October
1, 1916, and the employment of
children under thirteen years before
that date. The state prison inspector

Brennan College
Catching Musical Sounds

Atlanta, Feb. % Catching
musical sounds out of the at
mosphere, making them distinct
to the ear and labelling their
correct notes was an odd expert
ment made by members of the
Brenau college faculty at Gaines
vile to-day. The little "diffe-
rental resonator" used for the
experiment may be the means
of revolutionizing the classified
ton and analysis of sound
The college is usually as full
of music as a grand opera house,
with many girl students at their
pianos, but the SOUNDS are inau-
dlOle across the campus. But
with the little 'rosonator" in
operation far across the lawns
found he could catch any note
and make it distinct. The prin-
cipal is very like that of the
wireless telegraph, the wave be-
ing of sound instead of electri-
city. The work is based 'on the
ratio of number of vibrations to
the distance sound travels per
second.

ROUGH AT K. S. A. C.
Manhattan Man Says State of Anarchy
Exists at Agricultural School

Manhattan, Kan, Oct. IA state of
anarchy exists among the Kansas State
Agricultural students here. 1t grew
out of the apathy of the college au-
the approaching storm, and the at
tempt of the ruffianly element of the
higher classes to compel the freshmen
to wear purple caps. The arguments
would see a freshman the street
without purple cap, pounce upon
him and beat him with pieces of wood
of any convenient size or weight. A
favorite pastime was to force the vic
tim to run the gauntlet between wait
ing rows of boys who, armed with
sticks, struck at him as he went by.
Many were tossed in blankets.
All this occurs on the streets in
broad daylight as well as at night.
On last Wednesday Afternoon and even
ing the orgy reached its height, and
while the thirst for brutality was on
even the cap excuse was abandoned
and boys were dragged from their
rooms and beaten. One boys collar
bone was broken.
AS they walk to school the gait of
many boys shows that they are lame
and sore, some helping themselves by
placing their hands on their hips. The
sufferers are jeered by the perpetra-
tors of their wrongs. One boy. drew
knife to defend himself, but he was
overpowered and beaten. One student
carries a slung shot, intending to give
some one a sore head if he is modest
ed. Another says he will go armed to
protect hifse1f. When a tragedy oc-
ours perhaps the authorities will move.
So far neither the college nor the town
authorities have interfered to prevent
or to punish.
A faculty rule says that hazing shall
be punished by expulsion. No attempt
has been made to enforce it At a re-
cent meeting of the faculty it was de-
cided that the situation had got be-
yo1d them and would have to run its
course. R H. HAWKINS

said recently:
Il have had catarrh of the head,
throat and stomach for some time
past When I got up in the morn

and 1 was logy and listless generally.
I evidently swallowed the accumu-
lations in my throat when l slept and
I seldom had any appetite fer break

1 usually went around with a dull,
throbbing headache. l nearly always
had dull pain in the pit of my

felt all stuffed up and worn out ply

affected.
II read about the way this Tanlac
was helping people in other cities, and
before the medicine was placed on
sale in this city 1 had obtained a bot
tie and was getting real benefits from
the medicine. Tan1ac acted like magic
in my own case. 1t did not require
more than one bottle of the medi-
cire before my head had cleared and
my catarrh had largely disappeared
My stoma Oh began to seem right again
and my appetite improved I began
feeling different in every way am

SHUNS OLD MINISTERS
Tilted Girl Says All Men Are Danger
Gus at Close Range.

Detroit. Mich, Oct. 4.-LuciIle Gov
ington, who has revealed her basis for
her suit of 100000 for breach - of
promise against Rev. DR.. John Wesley
Hill, was in an affable mood Sunday.
She warned young women to keep
away from elderly ministers. She
added that she hoped always to be n
spinster.
Il know only two true men in the
world and they are my father and my
brother" she said. II am through
with men forever. That is. at close
range. Men may be all right when
kept at a distance but my knowledge
of them is that they are two-faced
and not to be trusted at all"
Miss Covington's experience with
Dr. Hill, so she says, has shaken her
faith in men generally. Not only did
DR.. Hill deceive her, so she declares,
but his host of men friends helped
him.
He certainly did propose to me
several times in fact-and he was
married at the time. 1 am suing him
for just that and I am going to win.

WILL RAISE FUNDS.
Railroad Y. M. C. A. of Topeka
Needs $4,000 for Repairs.
Henry B. Lautz Sends Out Call
to Loyal Supporters.

The r. R. Y NJ C. A. of Topeka is
going to raise $4,000 within the next
rev weeks to make necessary repairs
on the association building. Twelve
hundred men, constantly using the
building have caused much wear and
tear during the past twelve years
When the BUILDING was erected the
santa Fe gave $4,000, the employees
$4,000 and the rest $4,000 was
raised in the city. From that day un-
I'll this no money has been required
from outside the membership to main
tain the association or its building

eraI manager of the Santa F'e railway,
is chairman of the committee on man
agement OF this campaign. The as
ISOLATION is compelled to turn to the
assistance of its friends to raise this
money.
The railroad department of the
Young Mems Christian association of
Topeka has occupied it's building
since January 1, 1904, during which
time Its doors have never been closed.
The membership has averaged about
1.2O0- Topeka is essentially a rail-
road town and officers of the associa
ton say that these members are better
citizens because of the strong moral,
religious ard educational influence of
the railroad association The follow
ing figures will illustrate the scope of
service rendered during the past
twelve years:
No. of men attending educa-
rional classes . 1900
No. of men attending religious
meetings in building and
shops 100000
No. of baths given ~ 100000
Total No. men using building 1, 440,0 900
The annual budget of running ex-
penses has been about $4,000 of which
the A, T. & S. F. railway gives ap-
prcximately $4,000 and the balance is
paid by the rne4nbers-railIoad en-
ployes. During the twelve years about
$4,000 has been spent for building
repairs and the money all came from
regular receipts.
