ways willing to have opinions she has
framed, changed.
Mamma she said. looking up from
a book of fairy tales, do you know
that castles are solid gold and have
solid gold furniture?'
Those are fairy castles" replied

brick and stone and the furniture is
very fine, but not of gold"

Perhaps, dear"

Neutral Vessels Sunk.

Vessels of neutral ownership, even
vessels of neutral ownership bound
from neutral port to neutral port, have
been destroyed along with vessels of
belligerent ownership in constantly in
creasing number. Sometimes the mer-
chantmen attacked have been warned
and summoned to surrender before be-
ing fired on or torpedoed; sometimes
their passengers and crews have been
vouchsafed the poor security of being
allowed to take to the ships boats be-
fore the ship was sent to the bottom.
But again and again no warning
has been given. no escape even to
the ships boats allowed to those on
board
Great liners like the Lusitania and
Arabic and mere passenger boats like
the Sussex have been attacked with
out a moments warning, often before
they have even become aware that
they were in the presence of an armed
ship of the enemy, and the lives of
noncombatants, passengers and crew
have been destroyed wholesale, and in
a manner which the government of
the United States cannot but regard
as wanton and without the slightest
color of justification
mo limit of any kind has in fact
been set to their indiscriminate pur-
suit and destruction of merchantmen
of all kinds and nationalities within
the waters which the imperial govern
ment has chosen to designate as ly-

American Tell Grows.
The roll of Americans who have

The government of the United
States has been very patient. At
every stage of this distressing expert
ence of tragedy after tragedy it has
sought to be governed by the most
thoughtful consideration of the ex-
raordinary circumstances of an I'M
precedented war and to be guided by
sentiments of very genuine friendship
for the people and government of Ger
many.
