Peter C. Kincaid. veteran New York
diver. said apropos of the Lusitania
anniversary: 80.
IF diving was as simple and easy
a thing as the public think, the Ln-
sitania and Titanic and every other
sunken ship would be raised in no
time.
THE popular idea Of diving is re-
fiected in the story about the man
who employed two divers to hunt for
a treasure chest.
THE divers went down together
every morning; they only came up
for their nooning. They were paid q
high hourly rate. but they didn't find
the chest ~.
The treasure hunter got the idea
they were soldering on him, so he
hired a diver detective. .a
The diver detective sneaked down
and found the two divers seated in
comfortable armchairs in the wreck.

chest for a card table"

 Behind a great barrier of words. the president has sheltered himself, surrounded by cloud of phrases: big words with no meaning
 After the awful disaster of the L.usitania the president used the memorable phrase too proud to fight. The country responded the next morn ing. It was not friendly response.
 "So he changed and we had great note on strict accountability, and 1t remains phrase There never has been a repara;ion or even an apology for the Americans drowned or killed on the Lusltania
 The same phrase was posted on the consulate of Mexico not long ago that if any injury came to Americans Mexico would be held strictly account able Americans have been killed and every outrage committed and strict accountability still remains the false and empty phrase.

 The official announcement today says
 North of the Somme the enemy during the night delivered several violent counter attacks in positions taken by us yesterday and on the preceding days. from the region north of Maurepas to Clery.
 AM of the enemys attempts were broken down ivy our machine gun fire and the energetic counter offen- sive of our grenadiers and were un- successful. except at one point where the enemy gained a footing in q small piece Of trench north of MHur- epas. We took about fifty more prisoners during the night.
 South of The Somme the artillery fighting was very spirited in the regions south Of Belloy and Estrees. "
 Ths severe fighting now in prog ress in Macedonia, in the sectors of Dorian and Florina and elsewhere is believed by military observers to be a prelude to more extensive op- erations"

RECOMMENDS
 WITHDRAWAL
 FROM MEXICO
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON. Aug. is.-A recom- mendation from General Funston that the American troops be withdrawn from Mexico was contained in a receut report on the military situation maGe al the request of the war department and designed for use of the joint com mission which will discuss border problems State department officials do not attempt to disguise their regret over premature publication of Gen eral tunston's conclusions. but they indicated today that it would not cause any alteration in the plans.
 Officials realize 1t is understood, that the Mexican viewpoint will be the question of withdrawal of General Pershing's expeditionary force. In order to furnish the American com missioners vii full information, Gem eral Funston was asked to express his views on the military aspects of the expedition. There is every indication that the commissioners, and later the administration. were eXpccted to abide Dy the recommendations uf the chief military advisers on border matters
 Publication of the fact that General
 Funston believes it wise to withdraw
 the troops may hamper the American commissioners. some officials think. in
 obtaining whatever guarantee they
 may ask of the Mexican government as to security of the border from ban
 dit raids. IL Is believed the admins
 traitor is fully prepared to arrange for
 the recall Of General Pershngs forces
 since both state and war department
 officials are understood to share the
 views expressed tn General Funston report.
 There can be little doubt. it is now said. that the withdrawal will be promptly agreed to when the commis- sion meets. the conferees then turning their attention to the drafting of q portocol to cover future border opera tions. investigation of the causes oi bandit raids. and such other matter. as they may wish to take mp.
 No intimation came from the White | House today as to when announcement of the American membership of tn, commission might be expected. In view of Secretary Lansings recent assur | ances to Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican l Ambassador designate that the com mission could be assembled very soon | f was believed tonight that the namel | of the commissioners would be mad public early next week. Secretar! | Lansing who will head the delegation l already has accepted the post, and al 1 soon as his associates have beel | named and the views as to the meeting place ascertained. an agreement on tha point will be reached by Secretar. | Lansing and Mr. Arredondo.
