One Intimates England Hires
Americans to Travel On

One SAYS YIELDING WILL
CAUSE TROUBLE AT HOME
And German Leaders Prefer
That Trouble Should Come
From Without

Berlin, April 2l,-President Wilson 5
note demanding the end of Germany's
present submarine campaign was con-
veyed to the kaiser and the people to-
day. Newsp apers printed it in full
Because this is Good Friday il was
almost impossible to obtain an express
sion of opinion from the foreign Of
flee. There is little likelihood, how
ever, that a reply will be sent before
end of next week. 1t was indicated
that there would be no public comment
until imperial Chancellor Won Beth
man-Hollweg returns from his Easter
visit to the kaiser on the front.
Since the submarine controversy with
the United States began it has been
customary to summon into conference
heads of the marine department, lead
ing bankers and business men before
replying. This will probably be done
in the present case and leading mem
bers of the reichstag may also be cilI-
ed in.
Germany will never yield to Amer
lea because of Wilson Is bluff" said
the Tages Zietung. "The attitude Of
the American press is in comical con
trast TO the really effective power Of
that country. The best methods Of
advertisement, Of which Wilson is a
master, wear thin in time. When the
sword Of Damocles remains too long
suspended we can see it is only a
wooden one
owe have heard enough of silly re-
proaches leveled at us by America s
sOagOing citizens, said the Berlin
Post. eff Washington gentlemen be-
lieve we have nothing more important
to do tnan to investigate whether any
cattle driver had lock of his precious
hair ruffled while crossing to Europe,
then the people in the White House are
terribly mistaken.
'Why do Americans choose ships in
which they can be hurt. Does the
American government deny there are
rascals among America S sonsi If suea
rascals are paid with British gold to
make dangerous ocean trips, why
should Wilson make us responsible for
their lives2
"If Germany should climb down, ser
ious trouble is bound to come from
within. Germany's leaders prefer that
the trouble should come from with
out. q"
The Vossiche Zietung assured its
readers that there was no serious dan
ger Of break over President Wilson IS
personal views since, it said, there could
be no decisive step without tae approv-
al Of congress which els opposed 10 any
action that might lead to war.

Jury

A jury is an institution for learn
ing the game Of pinochle. Twelve
men make up a jury and like dozen
of hen fruit there is usually a couple
Of fiooie ones.
A jury is a mixture Of celluloid
collars, ready-made ties, diamond
scarf pins, men who work and floor
walkers.
Picking a jury is Ike trying to
count all the fiivVers along the ave-
nue.. Subpoenas are sent out to diff
ferent. citizens. Some men are so
healthy they've never had an ear
ache, but they suddenly get violently
i'll when a subpoena breezes their
way.
A jury is a queer bunch. For in
stance, a pretty woman is on trial
for murder in the first degree for
flooring her husband with an ak and
then pushing a piano over on him.
Her plea is self-defense because
her husband endangered her life by
shaking her finger at her. All she
has to do is beam radiant smiles at
each of the jurors and it's all over
with.
She's as innocent as the guys that
fall for no-decision fights.
But let some poor goOf who cop
ped loaf of bread get run in and
what happens? Oh, 10! la! Two
years up the road for that, Luke.

WOULD HELP
Introductions Are Too Long
MINDED, Christian Min
listers Are Told.

Danville, Ind, May 15.-The 18th
annual convention Of Christian church
es Of Indiana opened here this morn
ing with a registered attendance
which promises to set mark for the
stAe conventions. DIR. o. L. Jordan,
of Chicago, addressed the state min
isterial association in the afternoon on
"the efficient minister. He de-
clared a minister should have six
months training in pedagogy and six
months work in a newspaper office to
learn the value of printers ink. A
newspaper story Of a prize fight gains
immediate interest, he said, because
il tells who was licked in the first par
agraph and does not give a long in
PRODUCTION as to when prize fighting
began. Ministers, he declared, should
not use long introductions.

FISH CULTURE SUCCEEDS.

Systematic attempt to establish
the quinnat salmon in New Zealand
waters was first made in 1899. 1t
was decided to concentrate efforts on
one river ON the east coast of the
South island-the Waitaki river. For
several years after that large impor-
tatiOns of ova were made, and in
1907 it was found that the fish were
returning from the sea to spawn.
Since then their numbers have been
found to be increasing yearly, and
the inspector now states that the
number of running fish this year was
much greater than since the COM
mencement of the experiment. 1t
was also found THAI there was large
run of fish up the Rangitata river,
about seventy miles north of the
Waitaki, and some had found their
way even farther north. The largest
quinnat salmon yet caught in New
Zealand weighed over thirty-two
pounds.

Ups and Downs of the Balkan Church.
Nearly all the churches in Saloniki
were at one time Turkish mosques.
They continue to have the outward ap'
pearance of such. Two of the best
known churches, st. Sophia's and St.
Georges, were originally built by the
Christians many centuries ago. Then
the Turks came and the buildings were
converted into mosques. For five hun
bred years they remained as such. and
only after the recent Balkan war did
they come back into their own. In
the dome of st. Sophia's is an example
of exceptionally tine mosaic work
which dates back to the building OF
the church. This work OF art has an
interesting history. When the Turks
came they painted it out so that none
of the figures could be distinguished,
and SO It remained for five hundred
years. Recently the paint was rubbed
off and now the original picture stands
out in all its beauty and original col
oring.-Correspondence OF the Chris
tian Herald.

Central City, KY, May 1.-THE
Western Kentucky Operators Associ-
alton Monday issued a notice reciting
that all the coal mines in western
Kentucky under the control Of its
miners would be closed Tuesday.

scale for two years.
Approximately 5000 miners are af-
fected. Leaders of the miners have

NEGRO BURNED
FOR ASSAULT
Women and Children Were in
Crowd Of $4,000 at
Waco, Texas.

Waco, Tex, May 15.-With 1900
persons as witnesses, including wo-
men and children, Jesse Washington,
negro boy who confessed to Grim
inal assault on and murder OF
Mrs. Lucy Fryar, seven miles south
of here last Monday afternoon, was
taken from the Fifth district court
room shortly before noon today and
burned to death on the public square.
The burning came Immediately
after the negro's trial had ended. The
jury had returned a verdict of guilty,
giving him the death penalty. Then
some one started the cry of ''get the
negro" 1t was quickly taken up by
all of those from that part OF the
county where Mrs. Fryar was killed,
and Washington was then seized.
The mob at first seemed willing to
hang the negro from the suspension
bridge, but suggestion that he be
burned on the plaza met with instant
response. He was dragged to the
City Hall yard, where the chain, al
ready around his neck, was thrown
over the limb of a tree, wood piled
around him and the fire started.
After the verdict had been return
ed, the negro said, in a whisper, 'Tm
sorry done it. "
The rush for the negro came with
such suddenness that officers, lawyers
and newspaper men were swept off
their feet.
About o'clock members of the
mob returned to the scene, put the
charred body in a sack and man on
horseback dragged the body through
the principal streets. The horseman
headed in the direction of Robinson,
where Mrs. Fryar was murdered.
What remained of the body was
dragged behind an automobile to Rob-
Iinson in a sack and suspended from a
telegraph pole at that place.

Animal Doctors.

There is more than one kind Of ami
NAL that, when in a state of nature,
employs animals of another kind to
protect it from disease and other ills.
For instance, crocodiles in the Nile
make friends with little bird called
the Egyptian plover, which feeds on
the insects that infest their jaws, and
also on the pieces Of food that cling
to their teeth. No crocodile will ever
harm this bird, for not only does it
save him from having bad teeth, but
1t prevents him from being ccnsidera'
bly, irritated by the flies. An even
more curious animal partnership than
this is that which exists between the
hermit crab and a worm called a
"nereis." The hermit lives in the
empty shell of some other shellfsh;
but as he is very untidy creature
and litters his "house" with bits OF
food, he induces the nereis worm to
come and live with him. In return
for shelter, the worm cleans up the
hermit's dwelling by eating all the
refuse that is left about the shell.

cedars Of Lebanon stu stang.

Perhaps the most historic little for
est on the face Of the globe is the
Cedars of Lebanon. Famed for their
age, size and beauty and their connec-
ton with the Scriptures. these trees
are visited by pilgrims from all over
the earth.
They are located in Syria, and be-
cause there are no forests of tall trees
in that land they have the reputation
Of being the most lofty specimen Of
the vegetable kingdom. But the red
wood trees Of California. reaching a
height Of 800 feet, dwarf their modest
80 feet. Nevertheless, the girth Of
their trunk is enormous, the largest
being AZ feet in circumference.
ALI that now remains of the Cedars
of Lebanon are some four hundred
trees. They rise from small plateau,
situated at an altitude of 6,12S feet
above sea level. But, beautiful as
they are. their interest to the world
lies only in their connection with the
temple built by Solomon and the vari.
Gus illusions to them in the Bible.

Emperor Lacked Tact.

Joseph II. emperor of Germany. half
In jest, half in earnest, suggested this
as an appropriate inscription for his
tombstone: Here lies Joseph, unfor-
tunate in all his undertakings" He
was a good man, with excellent inten-
lions, but somehow his plans almost
invariably went wrong. BE good and
you will be happy" did not seem to ap-
ply in his case. The truth is, he was
lacking in judgment. He was a zeal
GUS reformer, and deeply concerned
for the welfare of his subjects; but
he went about it in the wrong way.
He tried to reform people with ham
mer. and totally disregarded their
feelings in the matter. Many Of them
did not even know they needed re-
forming. Joseph had about as much
tact as a runaway horse in a flower
garden. He probably did not know it.
but this lack of judgment was largely
the cause of his being unfortunate in
all his undertakings"
