POLAR BEAR ON A STROLL
Some Excitement in the 900"
at Scotch Capital.

A polar bear at the Edinburgh
(Scotland) zoo caused some excite
ment and CONSERVATION among the WIS.,
itors in the course of an unofficial tour
of a portion of the grounds. Inad-
vertently the water encircling the
rocky mound where the bears live
was allowed to rise beyond the normal
level. One of the animals swan across
and managed to Chamber to the top
of the outer wall, which rises sheer
from the surface of the pond, and or
dinarily is too high above the water
to be scaled. Pacing leisurely down
the adjoining avenue, the bear met
message boy wheeling lemonade bot
ties on a barrow. The boy put down
the barrow and fed. The bear cur
iously examined the unfamiliar object
to his path. After shifting around for
some time, he playfully put out his
paw and pushed the barrow over.
Many of the bottles were broken, and
flooded the roadway. Finding the
liquor unattractive, he proceeded to
the penguins' enclosure, and amid the
excited protests Of these droIl Arctic
birds leisurely strolled through their
compound. Next he plunged into the
offers pool and enjoyed swim The
next call was at the bisons enclosure.
Here his reception was hostile. Three
of these formidable animals charged
down upon him, and he was glad to
beat retreat. Half-stunned, he man
aged to scramble through the palisade
into safety. By this time the grounds
had been practically cleared Of Wis
itors, most of whom sought refuge
in the central buildings. The keepers
now appeared, and attempted to herd
the bear back to his own quarters.
Gun-tiring accelerated his retreat, and
without great difficulty he was in
duced to return to his accustomed
place of confinement.

Eau Claire-Great alarm is felt here
because of the rapid rise of the Chip
pewa river. Residents in lower sec
tons of the city and farmers on low
lands some miles below here are pre-

their families and stock at an instant's
notice. Several families on the lower
west side have already quilted their
homes. A number of farms on the
Chippewa bottoms, seventeen miles
below here, are under water.
Trepidation is felt because of the
crest of an enormous volumn of wa
ter, loosed when the dam at Park
Falls, above Cornell, was blown up.
The dam was destroyed to save pa
per mill there. The river here is now
at the highest point in years. At Chip
pewa, part of the 500 tracks are COW

1t has become painfully evident to 1t
that the position which it took at the

vessels employed and the very meth
DDS of attack which their employment
OF course involves, utterly incompat-
ible with the principles of humanity,
the long established and incontrovert-
ible rights of neutrals and the sacred
immunities of noncombatants.
But One Course Open.
If it is still the purpose Of the
imperial government to prosecute re
lentless and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use Of submarines without regard to
what the government of the United
States must consider the sacred and
indisputable rules of international law
and the universally recognized dictates
of humanity, the government of the
United States is at last forced to the
conclusion that there is but one course
it can pursue.
Unless the imperial government
should now Immediately declare and
effect an abandonment of its present
methods of submarine warfare against
passenger and freight carrying vessels,
the government of the United States
can have no choice but to sever dip
lomatic relations with the German en-
pire altogether This action the gov
eminent of the United States con-
templates with the greatest reluctance,
but feels constrained to take in behalf
Of humanity and the rights of neutral
nations
