"Sussex" disaster will not exceed so. Three
American victims are at present recovering
in hospital.
London, March 2Sth-It is ~of;e:ally an
nounced that, III a recent engagement off the
German coast, the light cruiser "Cleopatra''
rammed and sank a German destroyer.
London, March 28th-Accordiug to reports
received by LIoyds to-day the British steam
ships "Manchester Engineer" 1902 tons, be-
longing to the Manchester Liners Co. and The
Empress of Midlan1", of 2,224 tons, belong
ing to the Canada Steamship Liners, have
been sunk probably by German submarines.
The crews Of both steamers were rescued.
London, March 28th-According to offeiul
figures given out to-day, out of the total ton
mage Of shipping sunk in the German sub
marine campaign since March 18th, no less
than One-third has been neutral. Advices
from Copenhagen say that thus far since the
beginning of the war, SO Norwegian ships
have been lost through torpedoing and com
ing into contact with mines, aud that Swe-
den has lost 40 from the same cause.
San Autouio, Texas, March 28th 1t is gath
cred, from information delivered from reliable
sources i'll Mexico, that Villa is preparing to
visit the American expedition,ry forces but
that the Mexican people are not rallying to his
aid. The work of the punitive expedition
will nevertheless be much hamppred if the
Mexican railways are not pleced at the dis
posal of the authorities to carry supplies to
miles south OF the border.

The British Claim.

London, Feb o-The British govern
ment will hold that tho Appam must he
released under clauses ~ and - Of The
Hague convention of 1907 it was stated
to-day. These provide that a merchant
man cannot be converted into an
auxiliary cruiser on the high seas and
that a merchantmen prize can only be
taken into neutral port under certain
circumstances of distress. injury or lack
of fool and if she does rot depart within
stipulated time cannot be intorned but
must be turned over to the original
owners with all her cargo.
According to the British contention.
under these clauses the prize crew must
be intcrned.
Since the news of the Appam's ar
rival there has been some anxiety as
to whether the raider Moewc might
have attacked any other passenger
boats II has been ascertained, how
ever, that all the South African liners
are accounted for. Two big liners.
Walmcr Castle and Kenilworth Castle
are safe but neither of them had seen
anything of the German raider.
Just what we would have liked to
do had we been in the German posi-
ton, was the feIld'h VI bfltISh ma
val officer, discussing Lieut.. Borge's
exploit.
Relief at the safety of the liner.
coupled with undisguised admiration
for the exploit OF her captors, marks the
British attitude toward the Appam in =
cident. But the international aspect
of the case developed much criticism
of the German move as being deliber-
ately with the purpose or further in -
lvolving the United states in con-
troversy with the British government.
The steamer clan MacTavlsh, which
is reported sunk by the Moewe, was one
of the most valuable OF the Clan line.
She carried n very rich cargo consist
ing mostly of wool and beef from Aus
tralia and New Zealand Her crew

have sized up the situation wisely
and figured it out. that Thompson
has reached the point where he is
ready to quit playing politics and
render public service. Thompson's
popularity thermometer started high,
but is now below freezing and rap
idly approaching zero. He lost pub
lie confidence while trying to please
his political pals. To regain public
confidence he's got to quit playing
politics and try to be mayor of Chi
cago. If that's what Big Bill is up
to, Merriam YilI help him. Merriam
is listed as a Republican, but he's in
dependent. He showed that when
he openly supported HOyne for

above party politics. And if Mayor
Thompson really wants to be a real
mayor and serve Chicago, no man
can be more helpful than Alderman

FIsHER And he Army. 4

FISHER AND THE ARMY. - In
opposing universal military service
and favoTing a reorganization of the
regular army and militia, Walter
Fisher may mean what he says, but
doesn't say all he means. What he
means, very likely, is that he opposes
compulsory service because he IA
vors a big standing army of profess
sionaI soldiers or hired mercenaries,
men who can make murder a profess
sion. Under that system the rich
mans son can keep out or go in as
an ofIicer-as happened during the
war with Spain; Under a universal
compulsory system there would be
no special privilege and the rich
mans son would do his drill stunt
along with the poor mans son-and
they wouldn't abandon their regular
Jobs to become professional soldiers.
The idea of a big standing army is to
have it handy to quen labor. disturb
ances in times of peace. And the mi
litia reorganized wOUld>haVe in mind
the same purpose. With big enough
navy we can worry along without a
big regular army and not fear the
success of invasion by armies
shipped across the sea.

WOMEN LAWYERS.-Replying to
Clarence DaTroW's comment on
women as lawyers, Lawyer Leonora
2. Meder said: 81 have made three
times as much money in law as
have in social work" Goodness gra-
ciOus, is that a revelation? Do wom-
en- go in for social work for the
dough there is in it? Is social serv-
ice a profession, trade or business?
I supposed, of course, that women, as
well as men, went into social work.
for the joy Of service and because
they love their fellow men or women,
as the case or love may be. But
mebbe I don't know just what social
work is.

COMMENT

HEARST AND PEACE would
have more faith in w. R. Hearst's
frantic appeals for peace if I were
not convinced that he is playing the
diplomatic game Of Germany. Hearst
has been even more madIy pro-Ger-
man than many of the German
newspapers, and has vainly tried, for
reasons best known to himself, to
so influence public sentiment as to
put prO-GeTman pressure on Presi-
dent Wilson. No matter how much
he advertises himself by eloquent
appeals for peace, what he says has
no weight at all with Wilson, who
knows Hearst and understands
Hearstism. Sincere advocates of
peace should not communicate with
Washington through Hearst by sign
ing petitions written by him and pub
ished in his papers. Anything with
the Hearst label is liable to go into
the White House waste basket.

Mr.. King Swope, a popular and
promising young politician, of Dan

can ticket from the eighth district,
spoke for about one hour to a fairly
good audience, after Gov. Thorne had
finished. The Republican speaker adj
mitted the general prosperity that this
country was now enjoying. but said it
was the effect of the European war
and at its close he predicted one of the
greatest panics this country has ever
experienced, He said the seeming
prosperity was produced by economic
conditions beyond the control of Will
son. The colored voter was not
much in evidence. although large
sign, carried by one of the colored
brothers most of the forenoon, an
nouncing the speaking of Mr.. Swope,
failed to bring the desired result.
Mr.. Swope bitterly denounced the
administrations Mexican policies, but
did not say what the Republicans would
have done under the same conditions
and circumstances. He also denounced
in bitter terms, the state administra-
ton of Governor Stanley. He opposed
everything that was Democratic and
got frequent applause from the Re-
publicans present. Mr. Swope was in

after being introduced by Mr.. j. +.
Robinson Gov. Thorne seemed at his

of many hard fought political battles.
After recounting the many achieve
ments Of the Democratic administra-
ton. he dwelt at some length on the
peace and patriotism of Woodrow Will
son. that has given the American peo-
pie such unbounded and material pros.
perity. His speech was overlooking
with wit. oratory and sarcasm, that
brought forth deafening applause from
the enthusiastic crowd of the tried and
unterrified. He loudly praised the state
administration under the able guidance
of Gov. Owsley Stanley. and his eific
lent staff Of lieutenants. Congressman

Basin Brothers Purchasers.

A twenty year franchise. for a
twenty-four hour service, created by
an ordinance with the greatest care.
sparing no effort to give the citizens of
the town all the protection that could
be given by contract. was sold publicly,
as advertised last Saturday afternoon,
by Mayor l.. G Davidson, and the pur.
chasers were Basin Brothers. of this
city. The rate to private consumers is
ten cents X W hour, with a min.
imum of fifty cents. This is a much
lower rate than other towns adjoining.
Under the contract for the street light
ing, the citizens get twice AS much light
as heretofore. running from sunset
until dawn, with out moonlight schedule,
and for less money than we are now
paying for an eight hour schedule, ex-
elusive Of the moonlight, while the pri.
vate consumer gets a twenty-four hour
service instead of eight.
Under the bidding. the Bastin Broth
ers agree to furnish light to the city
for $l2.50. per year. for each 100 can
die power light and it is estimated tina,
there will be about one hundred OF
them. At present the city is paying
about $500 year for the same light
for only an eight hour service. Tins
alone is saving to the city of about
$500 a year. or a total Of $40 900 for q
term of twenty years. The purchasers
are well known to the citizens of the
town and are two Of our most inter
prislng young business men. There II
no question but what they will comply
with every provision OF the contract
and will give to the citizens Of Lam
caster one Of the best lighting systems
in Central Kentucky.
