Her Off Bay Of Biscay.

MacFaddcn has arrived in Gravesand
from Africa, somewhat damaged by
the gunfire of two German subma

attack on her was made in the Bay of
Biscay, when a submarine fired so
shots at her at range of 30 yards.
The steamer Immediately brought her
big guns into action and nit the SUBJ

DIPLOMATIC BREAK OVER SUB
MARINES POSTPONED IF NOT
ACTUALLY AvERTED.
MORE PROMISES ARE MADE
Wilson Will Now Await Evidence Of
the Abandonment Of Germany's
Present U-Boat Tactics-con-
. aress Not Disturbed.

Washington Germany note has
postponed if it actually has not avert
ed diplomatic break with the Unit
ed States.
1t was stated authcritatively after
the cabinet meeting that if the official
text bore out the unofficial version
transmitted in the Berlin news dis
patches. Germany's assurances un-
doubtedly would be accepted. and be-
fore taking another step the United
States would await the fulfillment of
her latest promises
In such case the United States
might not reply to the note and would
await evidence Of the abandonment
of Germany's present practices OF sub
marine warfare, which is declared.
President Wilson is described by those
close about him as being in position
where he cannot question the good
faith of Germany's assurance, which
must stand or fall by the future con,
duct of her submarine commanders.
The German embassy view Is that
the note gives all President Wilson
asked for; that it signalizes a return
to cruiser warfare''-the use of SUBJ
marines as regular naval cruisers in
tercepting commerce with visit and
search, and that inasmuch as it makes
no mention of the armed ship ques-
ton, that perplexing feature OF the
controversy is not involved.
Congress took the note quietly, and
although memSers expressed a va
riety Of views, the general sentiment
seemed to be in favor of leaving the
situation In the hands of the presi-
dent. On the surface there was no
sign of activity in the group which has
been working to prevent the presi-
dent from pressing the situation to
the point of a diplomatic rupture.
The newest orders, however. appar-
emily are regarded as meeting the
presidents demand for a declaration
OF an abandonment of the present
practices or submarine warfare. Of
f:cials seem agreed that the presidents
demand that Germany also EFFECT
such an abandonment only could be
answered by time.

THREE zEPPELlNS ARE LOST
French Get One at Soloniki, English
One OFF SchIeswig and Storm Ae-
counts For Third.

London.-Due to French and Eng
lish guns and storm Germany has
lost three Zeppelins in two days.
The first Zeppelin was destroyed
when it was blown ashore on May
on the Norwegian coast, second was
brought down off the Schleswig coast
by a British light cruiser squadron
and the third was victim of French
warship guns at Saloniki.
There was great jubilation in Sa
lonih over the destruction of the raid
ing Zeppelin, says dispatch from that
place. Saloniki has been for long
time in nightly terror of raids. De-
scribing the end of the raider the dis
patch says:
'sThe populace was awakened at 2
o'clock Friday morning. Searchlights
in the harbor soon caught in the in
truder, which was directly over the
town, and hurricane Of shells was
thrown at it.
"The Zeppelin seemed to lose its
bearings and turned toward the sea,
presenting a magnificent broadside.
One shell, which burst close to its
tail, caused the Zeppelin to dip and
drop lower. 1t then faded from sight,
apparently enveloped in cloud of
vapor.
Nothing more was heard for a half
hour, when two loud reports, followed
by a great flare lasting several Sec
onds, betrayed the fact that the air
ship had met its fate close to the es-
tuary Of the Vardar river"

Sergt. Smiths Little Band Fought the
Mexican Raiders For Five Hours.
Americans Were Heroes.

| Ell Paso-Practically all the details
Of the raid reaching here came to Gen.
Funston from Maj o. B. Meyer Of the
Fourteenth cavalry, stationed at Mar
ia. According to Mat. Meyer, the ban.
dts crossed the Rio Grande late on
the afternoon of May s at point south
of Terlingua, Texas, where there is a
| guard of about 80 men.
From there they proceeded eastward
through the desolate reaches Of the Big
Bend country, over an old wagon road
toward Glenn Springs, a small ranch
settlement.
A few miles west of Glenn Springs
an American patrol OF eight men from
Troop Al OF the Fourteenth cavalry, un-
der command of Sergt. Smith, was sta
toned. The bandits began an attack
on the little temporary shack in which
| the eight troops were quartered before
the single sentinel could raise alarm.
| The time was about IL o'clock.
The. attackers rushed toward the
shack shouting viva Villa" and
'sviva Carranza!,' They were met by
sturdy defense from the half asleep
Americans. however, and failed in
| their evident attempt to make quick
capture of the patrol guard.
From IL o'clock that night until aft
er 2 O'clock in the morning Sergt.
Smith fought the Mexicans from the
shelter of the patrol house. In that
| time. three of.his men-Privates Cohen.
Coloe and Rogers-had been killed
and he and all the rest we're wounded.

Impossible to stay longer, so Sergt.
Smith ordered retreat.
Two of his men were so badly
wounded it was necessary to carry
them. Smith and the other men sue
ceeded in removing the badly wound
ed and took out the bodies of the three
dead men and carried them to place
of safety.
There was a motor truck attached
to the camp. The dead and dangerous
ly wounded men were loaded into this
and sent toward Marathon, station on
the Southern Pacific, 85 miles north.
One man accompanied the truck.
This left Smith and two others to en-
gage the bandits They retreated to
the Low Hills and fought from behind
rocks and mounds of gravel.
While this was going on, ranchmen
Of the vicinity heard the shooting
and hurried to the scene. Although
few in number, they formed an ade'
quate reinforcement, and about four
o'clock, as dawn neared, the Mexicans
| retreated.
This was five hours after the fight
| ing began. The bandits rode toward
| the east until they came to Glenn
Springs. There they looted general
store and killed the 10-year-old son Of
C. G.. Compton. Then they proceeded
to Boquillas, few miles north of the
Rio Grande, where they seized sup
plies and forage and rode on again.
Their next stop was Deemers. Here,
according to the reports received i'll
Ell Paso, they looted the general store
of John Deemers Then they crossed
back into Mexico, taking with them

that If. thoroughbred were small
enough to run about a house like dog
and have the Same chances instead of
being so much alone surprising results
would follow. "Cussedness" In horses,
he thinks, may be caused by too mitch
inbreeding, bringing about an extraor-

PERSIAN PAINTINGS.
Oriental Art That Emhodies The Es.

orisntal Art That Embodiss The Es.

No dramatic, no passionate motive
ever so grips and possesses a Persian
artist as to absorb his whole imagina.
ton. His sensuous love Of beauty can
not resist filling in the accessories of
the scene with Just as much care and
intention In every detail as he devotes
to the central figures.
In the great works Of Chinese and
japanese painters, as in masters like
Rembrandt, accessories, are subdued or
suppressed, the color Is limited. and
the figures which create the motive Of
the design are so emphasized. 10 domi-
nant in the eye that they seem to tran.
scend, the limits of the framing space,
they seem alive with all the latent en-.
ergies Of actual men and women.
No Persian painting imposes itself
thus on the imagination. Everything
remains within the frame. inlaid as In
a lustrous mosaic. The Persian method
has, 1t Is true. its own compensation.
Just as in the early pictures 81 Ros-
setti and Millais everything Is realized
with dreamlike vision. and this is al
ways a real achievement for the
painter The freshness and glory thus
brought to the eye, as os world
washed clean. with every object magic.
ally distinct and burning with clear
color, make vivid impression of
