Healdton, belonging to the Standard

torpedoed and sunk off the Dutch

Only seven out Of a crew Of thlrty-
eight so far are known to have been
saved. According to one report fifteen
members OF the crew were killed by
the explosion. In all respects the case
seems to parallel those of the three

prompted the President to summon
Congress to meet two weeks earlier

TMn Freaks Of Nature.

Two contrasting freaks of nature
are the Island of Fire and the Lake
Of Snow. The Island of Fire is called
the Home of Hot Devils. 1t Is sit
uated in the midst of large lake Of
boiling mud in the Island of Java.
The steam and gases which arise
from the sticky mud form them
selves into bubbles, attaining a diam
eter Of five or six feet, and sail high
up in the air like balloons; carried
hither and thither by the wind and
finally exploding with loud crash.
The biggest snow lake is seen from
the summit OF Hispar pass, in the
Karakoram range. 1t is more than
800 square miles in area. In Switzer-
land the sea of ice might better be
called the sea of snow, as the sur
face is broken up by solar heat,
which makes minute assuring in
the ice, giving 1t the appearance of
snow, -

so forth. The hit-or-miss burglar may
get anything or nothing. He is much
more liable to get caught.
Tom had seen an old house which
stood in an unfrequented road. 1t had
taken his fancy. There must be
wealth in that, he thought-silver
plate, possibly jewelry. He had seen
the old man who came limping out to
enter his automobile, and had noticed
that he had no butler-only q female
servant. He had looked through the
windows at night and seen the old
master seated alone in his chair, read
ing. There was q massive library. Tom
Linton resolved to make another bid
for capital.
He was fascinated by the life, but he
felt that the world was against him.
And, with Molly lost, somehow he
cared very little about anything.
He laid his plans well, discovered the
policeman's beat allowed him ten min
utes' grace, and soon after one in the
morning, he climbed through the win
dow on the side and made his way
along the corridor in the darkness. Tom
had acquired the "feel' of a house. He
knew that there would be room at
certain place on the right, and another
opposite; but he was not sure which
was the dining room, and he had no
ton to try for old silver. Back in the
yard he had his bag, and there was a
convenient hiding place at the foot of
the hill.
lie opened the door on the right
noiselessly, felt for the switch and
turned tho button. He looked into the
library.
For a moment he was startled; then
he perceived that the room was much
larger than he had believed, extending
right through the house. He crept for
ward cautiously. Some heavy curtains
hung between the front and rear parts,
shutting off half the room from view.
Linton moved softly up to the cur
talns. He drew them aside and found
himself looking at Molly.
She was in evening dress, with n
long cloak unbuttoned, over 1t. In her
right hand she held revolver, and she

Ohio S SUFFRAGE Victory.

The bill giving full Presidential suf-
frage to the women Of Ohio has been
signed by the governor OF the state and
is now law. This Is significant in
two ways. Ohio is the largest state
except illinois that has ever granted
such suffrage rights to women. And
Ohio, touching on Pennsylvania, gets
close 10 the conversation of the east. The
Keystone state in 1915 voted down a SUI
frage amendment by more that 1907 900
majority, The same year New Jersey
defeated such an amendment by 10000
and q like result was shown in Massa
chusetts, 40, coo majority, and in New
York by almost 100000. The empire
state voters will probably have to
pass on the proposition again next No
vember,
The curious thing about the Ohio
victory for suiTragists is that it is rem
dered insecure by radical state consti-
tuition. Any law on the Buckeye
states books may be attacked by petit
tion and referendum secured If petit
TONERS are numerous enough to com
pei a vote, and the law may be wipes
out by majority at a given election
Already the antis are signing petitiond
for such a referendum on the new Ohio
statute.
Yet, in spite of this element in the
situation, We think the suifragists of
the whole country have good reason to
be pleased with what Ohio has done. It
means much to their cause. And that
cause has commonly been advocated in
America with the self-restraint that
characterizes good citizenship and
arouses a presumption in favor of the
theory that the suffrage would not
be msused by the women who think
they ought to have it.-Brooklyn Ea-

THURSDAY, MARCH ! 1917

The passage by both branches OF con
gress of Senator Reeds "bone dry
prohibition amendment raises the
question of whether this is a blow at
LIQUOR or a subtle rapier thrust at pro-
hibition. The favorable vote in both
houses, including many Senators ana
Representative whose devotion 10
temperance has never been conspicuous,
as we'll as the fact that a number OF
disciples of prohibition voted against
it, raises the suspicion that the "bone
dry" amendment was not offered aud
accepted wholly in good faith. 1t is
barely possible that a majority OF those
who supported it hope and believe that
it will make prohibition unpopular and
put an end to the agitation for ma
tion-wide constitutional amendment
The effect Of the "bone dry" amend
ment is to nulify provisions enacted
by various states that have entered the
"dry" column whereby the drouth may
be tempered to the shOrn tipster. OF
the % states which will be prohibition
territory within a few weeks under
legislation already passed, only eight
have forbidden importation Of intoXi'
Giants for personal use. The other u,
while forbidden the manufacture or
sale Of liquor within the state bound
aries, permits inhabitants to import
certain amount, under restrictions
which vary in the different states
Thus, while the open saloon is banished,
citizens are still permitted TO have and
use liquors in their homes. But the
"bone dry" amendment changes all
this, and if it is approved 10y the Presi-
dent and sustained by the Supreme
Court its enforcement will mean pro.
hibition that actually prohibits. by

Tom Linton had served four and a
quarter years when he was released
from the penitentiary with a new suit
and fourteen dollars in his pocket, and
he had one idea in mind, to find Molly,
his sweetheart, and marry her and
start a decent life in some place where
he was unknown.
For eighteen months Molly had come
to see him, or written. Then she had
dropped out of his life. Linton did not
feel bitter about this. He knew few
women would be true for a five-year
term; but he knew he could win her
back if--here was the thought that ter
rified him-if she had not married an
other.
Both Molly and Tom came of decent
folk. Molly had never known until
Tom was arrested that he had lived by
crime; and Tom, with nine hundred
sailed away had meant to marry her
and duit the life. But he had tried

caught red-handed, and he had lost
everything, including his money,
which his lawyer had taken.
He could not find Molly. Nobody
knew anything about her and fourteen
dollars does not last very long in big
city. Tom soon turned his thoughts
toward the old career,
In one way his opportunities were
excellent. Tom was not regular
criminal. He had taken to crime, but
he had not been born to it. He had
never worked with a man in his life.
He was the solitary criminal whom the
police fear more than any other sort.
Now, in burglary the advantages of
partnership are obvious. There is a
good deal of spade work to be done
first, getting acquainted with maids,
gaining entrance to the grounds, and
