AMERICAN VESSELS SUNK.
Sunk by German Submarines and Loss
of America Lives Probable.

German submarines sunk three
American vessels. Vigilancia, City of
Memphis and Hi ois. The three ves-
sells with their cargoes are thought to
have been worth considerably over
three millions of dollars, possibly twice
that. Fifteen men are missing but it
is not known If they are lost or not.
None of the vessels were armed. At
least one was torpedoed without warn
ing.
President Wilson is expected to take
aggressive action to protect American
shipping but 1T is not thought this ma
tion will enter actively into the war as
are the European nations. The action
that is expected to be taken will be IN
the nature of attempting to clear sub
macmes from the restricted zone es-
tabIished by Germany.

RUSSIAN THRONE VACATED
Gar Returns His Ruling Power to the
People; Country Quiet.

Last week revolution sprung up in
Russia whereby Gar Nicholas abdi-
Gated the throne for o1imself and little
son IN favor of his brother. The next
day the brother abdicated and said he
would serve only at the call of the peo-
pie.
The Russian congress has matters IN
hand and a constitutional convention
will be called by universal suffrage of
the people to decide the future form of
government.
The direct cause of the revolution
was due to laxlty of effort In pushing
the war. The war element is IN full
power and the war will be pushed more
than ever.
Emperor Nicholas has accepted the
conditions gracefully and peace is gen.
eral over the empire. The Russian
congress plans very broad reforms for
the new government, among them be-
ing universal suffrage, entire religious
freedom and freedom of the press.

PURE SEED LAW UPHELD.
Tennessee No Longer Dumping Ground
for Noxious Weed Seed.

On Saturday. March 10th, the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee handed down
an opinion holding that the Tennessee
Pure Seed Law, enacted in 1909. was
constitutional. 1t was carried to the
highest tribunal IN an agreed case b"
Hon H. K. lryson, Commissioner of
Agriculture. de took this action after
| certain seean IN of the state objected
to salient fea lures or the Act and for
years practically ignored the law. In
an opinion of some twenty pages the
court says that THE act stands undre
all the tests so applied to it,"
The decision of the court of last re-
sort will no doubt meet with the ap-
proval of the farmers of the state since
this same law affords them unusual
protection and prevents Tennessee
from being made dumping ground for
field seeds containing all kinds of pol
sonous and noixous weed seeds.
The law as upheld requires on every
package of field seeds offered for sale
within the state tag or label showing
the name of seed, name and address of
the dealer, statement Of purity and
termination and percentage of lmpurl-
ties-lt below standard-and locality
where seed was grown.
Commissioner Blyson urges the
farmers of the state to watch for this
tag or label, as we'll as for the inspec-
ton stamp, and to see that the law up
on the subject has been fully complied
WITH
The Commissioner also desires to
give notice to all seed dealers that this
law Will hereafter be enforced to the
letter-as he sought to enforce 1t be-
tore the decision was rendered. No
further excuses will be accepted, no .
violations Will be tolerated. 1t may .
be said, however, that the commission
er has had the assurance of a large
number of leading seed dealers that
they will cooperate with him In carry
ing out the provisions of the act, and
that they are in favor of any law that
will bring the seeds planted IN Tennes.

The threatened strike of the train
men on all roads throughout the United
States was as planned for last Satur
day. provided the railroads did not
recognize the eight-hour law, was first
averted by President Wilson asking TOR
further discussion. The request OF
President Wilson was granted and af
ter fuller discussion the railroads
agreed to meet the demands of the
railroad brotherhoods. The roads say
the concession was made because of
the critical condition of the country
through threatened war with Germany.

READS TABLETS OF AGES AGO
University Professor Discovers Funda-
nentals Of Christian Religion
Were Evolved $500 B. C.

DIR. stephen LangdOn has Just de-
ciphered tablets In the University Of
Pennsylvania museum which are thou
sands Of years old.
The doctrine of n MesslanIc hope,
OF the expectation of dellverance from
sin and suffering by Goldman In
the shape Of king, goes back TO at
least $500 b. c., when the Sumerian
theOlogiuns evolved a theory which
has been the basis of Jewish and
Christian religion ever since, accord
Ing 10 his discoveries.
The new tablets are Of interest be-
cause they show that the Sumerlans
never lost hope that the restoration
to Il state Of sinlessness and happiness
through the agency Of the gods would
come and their faith was pinned on
earthly kings who were delfied and
worshipped in the hope that one would
be deliverer Elaborate rituals
were made for all of them, but each
failed. Then came the Semitic CON
quest Of Sumer and the era of pessim-
ism set in, as shown by the famous
epic Of Gilgamish, one missing book
of which has just been found In the
Nlppur collection of the University
museum.
The Semtes had no such Messlanic
hope, since the story of Gllgamlsh,
hero Of the epic of Gllgamlsh, is the
antithesls Of the restoration Of Para
disc, and this is the more important
because Gilgamish himself was half
god. 1t is presumed that the Jews
got their idea of a Messiah from the
Sumerian epics rather than from their
own congeners in Babylonla.
The discovery is considered import
ant because 1t shows that the Su-
merians who first gave an account Of
the creation, flood and fall Of man,
which were adopted by the Jews, also
provided the first theme Of a God
man who should suffer death and re-
deem the people from the loss Of
paradise. All of these documents date
from before the time of Abraham and
apparently are copies of those much
older. The fundamentals of Jewish
and Christian religion are shown In
tablets at least 4,5OO years old.

The burro is a small and compact
horse of the mule variety. He has a
high forehead and thoughtful, reiec-
tive face, but is not as brainy as he
looks. Sometimes indeed he seems as
inane and stupid as man in love with
a grass widow. Most generally a burrO
has great, soulful eyes, but really his
soul Is smaller than that Of blind kit
ten. In collection of souls that of
the burro would seem like a mere
speck. The greatest value of the burro
is for the load he carries. If a man
could carry the same load and be as
sure-foOted about it he would be
worth $4,000 year as a wine agent.
