What Is War?
The senator assailed the "kept-us-
out-of-war" claim, asking, with
whom did he keep US out of war;"
On this subject he said:
Have we been kept out of war
with Mexico? What is war? Merely
declaration? Our naval war with
France was waged for two years
without declaration. Japan struck
Russia without a declaration. War
means offensive and deadly acts. We
invaded Mexico and withdrew; but
fighting took place and American
marines were killed. Our territory
was invaded by Mexicans who were
driven out; but again Americans were
killed. We invaded that country once
more and today our militia forces,
with seige, guns, are interenched in
the heart of northern Mexico. They
have fought with uniformed Mexicans
and soldiers of both sides have fallen.
Almost the whole OF Our effective
military forces are kept on the border
and lines of communication estab-
lished with Pershing's men. Our War
department has held officially that
deserter from our army must be
punished as in time of war. The gov
ernment's censorship of all news is
more rigid than that of European bel
ligerents If all this is not war, what
is it2 If such a~state of things ex-
listed between ourselves and any other
nation what would we call it? What
would the world call it?
Who Kept European Neutral Nations
Out Of WARP
Who kept Sweden out of the war ?
Yet Sweden is so near the flames OF
battle that they almost scorch her.
And what has been done to us has
been attempted with Sweden. But
although not so large as the average
American state and not so populous
as some, Sweden has projected her
interests and her honor by the firm
word OF a government that meant
what it said, backed by prepared
people, peaceful, but spirited, and not
to proud to fight. When Great Brit
ain seized Swedish mail, Sweden
seized British mail; after that retalia-
ton Swedish mail has not been vio-
lated. Yet Sweden is at peace.

MOBILE SCHOONER,
WELL KNOWN HERE,
is PROBABLY LOST

Owners of the Mobile schooner
Goldfield believe that their vessel,
now 81 days at sea, is lost. The
Goldfield was loaded here a number
of times, and Capt. Eden, the COM
mander, is well-known in Pensa-
cola. His probable loss will be learn
ed of with sorrow by his Pensacola
friends.
Speaking of the schooner's long
time absence, the Mobile Register
Saturday printed the following:
The four-masted schooner Cold
field, Captain Rene Eden commander,
with crew of eight men, are be-
heved TO be lost She left Mobile
with a cargo of slaves two months
ago for Martinique, B. w. |. and not
word has been heard of the vessel
to this day. The trip to Martinique,
under favorable conditions, is from
25 to 80 days and the fact that the
Goldfield has not been spoken in
sixty-one days leads to fears for her
safety. 1t is thought the vessel either
went down in one of the four hurri-
canes reported in the Gulf of Mexico
and adjacent waters, or is dismasted
and floating helpless outside the
| usual lines of travel.
The Goldfield is owned by Mobile
people, Messrs. j. T. Turner. w. K.
Tyson and Captain Eden. The own
ers sent cablegram to Martinique to
learn if the vessel had arrived and
yesterday a reply came that she had
not reported nor had she been heard
| from as far as that port was con-
cerned. The Goldfield was considered
one of the staunchest craft sailing
out of this port.
Since clearing from Mobile there
have been four hurricanes in south
ern waters, the first on July 20, the
second August Is, the third five days
later, and the blow of Wednesday,
last. If the Goldfield has weathered
these storms there can be but one
hope and that is she is dismasted and
drifting beyond sight of vessels fire.

An extraordinary instance Of the
curative power Of music is recorded in
newspapers recently arrived from
Italy. In Naples hospital lay GER
tain francesca Messina who had ar
rived from New York in condition of
coma. He had been asleep for seven
months and nothing the doctors could
do would arouse him.
The Countess Cell, visiting the hos
pital, suggested that brass band be
engaged to play expressly for the
sleeper. The doctors laughed at her,
but she got the band, brought it to the
hospital, stationed it under the win
dow of the ward in which Messina was
sleeping and made it play its loudest
and liveliest pieces. After an hour of
drumming and trumpeting, Messina
suddenly sat up. wide awake. He was
cured and was. at once discharged.

q cataleptic attack, the first having
been precipitated by his sweetheart
