Will Spanish American
War Veterans Stand for
These Political Pirates?

II is high time for patriotic veterans of the
Spanish-American war to resent the insult heaped
upon them by the Boo club
This club has falsely given the impression
that il is the spokesman of Spanish war veterans
5 in Seattle while in truth il represents faction
that is devoted solely TO the purpose of trading
votes for political spoils.
The pork barre' is its slogan. The candidate
who offers the most 'johS' at public expense to
club members is Endorsed and gets the voteSof the
membership.
THE BOLO CLUBS PURPOSE is TO
CAPITALIZE AND COMMERCIALlZE THE
PATRIOTISM OF SPANISH WAR VETERANS.
II is not fair to allow these political pirates to
besmrch the name of those who have given their
services to the country in honor and in good faith
and not for the purpose of EXPLOITING it.
Patriotic citizens in all walks of life, veterans
or not, should be quick to resent the gratuouS
insult which the Bolo club filings at the American
flag by hiding its piracy under the folds of the
Stars and Stripes.
THERE SHOULD BE NO ROOM HERE
FOR VOTE SELLERS AND TRADERS.
The spectacle OF personal representative of
one gubematorial candidate offering to give the
Bolo club more jobs than all other governors have
given its members in the past IS years; the spec
tacle of this club, by oversight, endorsing an indie
pendent candidate for commissioner, and then
quickly wiping that out to endorse his opponent
who had something to offer the members; the spec
tacle of an endorsement denied to an independent
candidate for congress who is Spanish war vet
eran and turning right about and endorsing another
candidate who is recognized sposnan-these
occurring in one night, furnish enough reason for
genuinely patriotic veterans of the Spanish Ameri-
can war to rise up against their woud-bc detrac-
tors in the Boo club.

SMALL CRAFT TO
TAKE The TRAIL
OF DEUTSCHLAND

Norfolk, July 25.-All kinds of small
craft are being made ready here and in
Hampton Roads to take the trail of the
German u b m a r n m h n tnlan
Deutschland when she comes down from
Baltimore for her dash to sea. Imagi-
nations have been fired by the presence
of allied cruisers off the Virginia capes
awaiting the temperance of the
Deutschland and rumors that f1otilla OF
armed German submarines is on the way
to attack the British and French patrols
when their freight-carrying sister starts
out,
Neither the fact that no credence is
given the armed submarine story in Off
cial circles nor the virtual certainty that
the Deutschland will go to sea under
cover of darkness and bad weather has
served to curb interest. Unless the sub
marine gives everybody the slip, she
probably will be followed out by big
f1otila.
Speculation over the delayed arrival of
the Bremen, the Deutschlands sister ship
continues. In German quarters it is be-
lieved the Bremen must have sailed from
Heligoland later than had been sup
posed.

The English newspapers of all fac

the fault of a compromise, the only
conspicuous exception being the Morn

aged the government of Ireland by a
strong hand on home rule

Il will not handy words about a
breach of faith or the violation of a
solemn agreement, but 1 want the gov
eminent clearly to understand that

is bound to increase Irish suspicion of
the good faith of British statesmen
To inf1ame feeling in Ireland would do
serious mischief to those high imperi-

tated a provisional settlement of this
question.
Situation Remains Cloudy
Some tragic fatality SENS to dog the
footsteps of this government in all
their dealings with Ireland. Every
step taken by them since the coalition
was formed and especially since the
unfortunate outbreak in Dublin, has
beer lamentable They have disregard
ed every advice we have rendered them,
and now, having got us to induce our
people to make a tremendous sacrifice

sion Of the six Ulster counties, they

have taken the surest means to &C
centuate every possible danger and

CHARACTER FROM TONGUE.
New Science by Which Professor Of
GIossomancy May Read II.

Put out Your tongue" Is a phrase
associated in most peoples mind with
doctors, and is usually reminiscent OF
minor ailments and nasty medicines;
spoken by a glossomancist, however,
the curt command takes on an Alto
gether different significance
A gloss omancist, it may be as well
to explain, is a professor of glosso-
NANCY new science which consists
in reading peoples characters by the
shape and size of their tongues.
Thus, according to it's votaries, the
possessor of short and broad tongue
is apt to be untruthful as to words and
unreliable as to deeds. A long tongue
moderately pointed. denotes frankness
and loving, trustful, affectionate dis
position. When the tongue is long and
broad, however, it is a sign that tho
owner is shallow and superficial and
also great talker. The typical woman
gossip. say glossomancists, almost al
ways shows this shape Of tongue
The small round tongue, plump and
in shape like an oyster. denotes medi-
commonplace and colorless. A short,
narrow tongue goes with nature that
is at once quicktempered and yet at
fectionate, strong and sudden in hate
as in love.
The worst type Of tongue is the
long, narrow. sinuous kind, what
giossomancists call the snake
tongue" It's possessors are likely to

SPEYER REMAINS
PRIVY COUNCILLOR
DECIDES COURT

London. July 25.-The court Of APP
peals decided today that there is no
question of the right of Sir Edgar
Speyer to remain on the roll of privy
council This ruling upholds the decis-
ion of the lower court in favor of Sir
Edgar.
Sir Edgar Speyer. partner in the
Speyer banking firm of London. New
York and Frankfort on Main, is
British citizen of German birth and
parentage. At the outbreak of the war
he was the subject of violent attacks
in England on account of his German
origin. His enemies openly charged
him with disloyalty but he was warmly
defended by Premier Asquith
In May, 1915, Sir Edgar resigned his
membership in the Privy Council and
asked for the revocation of his baro-
netcy. The College of Arms decided
that there was no way in which the
banker could divest himself of his I'll
tie. The question of his privy coun-
cillorship remained in allegiance until
November 1915, when the anti-German
League brought action in the courts to
force his removal from the council The
recent decision is the outcome of that
suit

sisting of Mr.. and Mrs. Chiaravolloti, his
mother and a little girl who lives with
them, were getting ready to take their
places at the table an automobile con-
tanning three men drove up to the door

The newspaper claims that the last
cattle census compared with that Of
December. 1914, showed a decrease Of
100000 head, Of which 100000 were
mich cows. Owing to a deficiency Of
fodder during the winter, the health
Of the remaining animals suffered Sc
verely.
1t will be years, the newspaper says,
before the grazing fields are again
normal and it is feared that a high
percentage Of cows will be permanently
weakened. Therefore an improvement
in the butter and milk situation is on
ly to be expected to be extremely slow.

M|SAPPREHENS|ON
OF AMERICAN PRESS
IN CRITICISM OF THE
BRITISH BLACK LIST

London. July 25.-Replying to questions
in the House of Commons, Lord Robert
Cecil, minister of war trade. said today
that the American press criticism OF the
British blacklist was based largely on
misapprehension. The act under which
the statutory list of American firms was
issued, he said was passed last Decem-
Der and lists referring to most Of the neu-
trail countries already had been published.
Nor were the provisions Of the act. he
added, unduly stringent.
The French law. the minister said, pro-
vided that all persons of enemy nation
alty wherever living were enemies OF
France and that it was illegal for
Frenchmen to trade with them"
In the British case only persons who
had shown themselves hostile to this
country were put on the list.
If any persons were unjustly included
in the lists, the minister said. their names
would be removed and great care would
be taken in applying the law to existing
contracts. He was informed that Germa-
ny had taken similar action.
