WATER CLAIMS -FOUR.

Three Girl Canoeists Drown and
Man Loses Life in Aiding Another.
Scranton, Pa, June 1.--Four young
people were drowned in the Susque-
hanna River, at Hallstead, Wednes-
day afternoon, when the canoe in
which they were enjoying themselves
upset, throwing all four, none of
whom could swim, into the river. The
Tragedy came at the close of two
hour trip and was the direct result
of an attempt on the part of the
young women to change thair seats.
The quartet, made up Of Della
Preston, Herman Gaffney, Mildred
Shieks and Kenneth Shieks, the latter
two brother and sister, had cruised up
and down the stream for some time,
when the girls. who had been occupy
ing the central portion Of the frail
craft, expressed d desire to do the
padding. The boys consented and
the canoe was taken in near shore
and Ethe two girls started to go to
the end seats, with the result that
the canoe upset.

orders from Washington more than
100 men of CONSUMPTION age who
were trying to get across the line
into Mexico have been held up. IN
practically every instance they were
well supplied with money, but car
ried little baggage.
In view of the fact that reports
from government agents IN Mexico
to Department of Justice officials
indicate that several thousand men
between the ages Of q and 81 have
crossed the border within the past
few weeks, officials have reached
the conclusion that most OF them
are trying to evade CONSUMPTION.
An investigation will be made into

GERMANY'S FREEDOM OF SEAS,

When Germany was seeking. to
hoodwink the United States into TAX
ing up its quarrel with England and
making itself ridiculous as well as un :;
neutral by insisting upon the conces-
sion Of the freedom of the seas as the
sine qua non for Germany's cessa-
ton from the Submarine warfare the
Berlin pleaders and menacers did not
set forth what they meant by free
dom of the seas.
This like all things else they would
have of the "made in Germany
brand. Count Reventlow at big all
nexation meeting which is described
by a Dutch professor lately returned
home from Germany, where ne had
been held in detention camp, stated
what was meant by freedom of the
seas. This, he said does not mean
peace-time freedom of the seas for
trade in all seas. This he acknow-
lodged Germany had possessed before
the war in certain sense. He defined
freedom of the seas as German
aspiration, to be a degree of naval
bower that shall guarantee Germany 5
immediate superiority over possible
enemies on the sea at the beginning
of hostilities. "That is why the Bel
gian coast is absolutely necessary to
us. We must have the power and Ia
elites Immediately to bring our sub
marines and other naval forces to
hear on our principal enemy.
In this connection the Baltl-
more American says: Here
then is the cat let out OF the bag. The
ultericr motive Of Germany in the
cry for freedom of the seas was to
carry out its deep designs of preying
upon neighboring power. The on
lv purpose in the hypocritical clam
for freedom of the seas is to enable
Germany by sea, as it did by land. to
spring quickly upon its foes, lulled to
a sense of security. The ReventloW
of Germany's real
meaning in the phrase is official

NEGRO OUT OF PLACE

During our civil war several con-
cert halls were open nightly in Alex
andria. Negro minstrelsy was then
at it's zenith, and most Of the features
were of the burnt cork variety. The
songs were mostly plantation melo-
dies, and some were suggestive of the
political opinions of the performers,
as was the following:
What will we do when de war breaks
the country up,
And scatters de niggers all around.
With your damned abolition, 'manci-
patton and secession,
Trying to run de niger IN the
ground.
Some say this, some say that, till
they get the country in fight.
What's a hungry niger gwine to
do?
One of the stanzas ended as follows:
Den away with Emancipation.
Give us back the old plantation,
IT'S the best place in the world for de
niger,
For l tell you Pm a happy contra
band.
The federal authorities. exercising
a censorship over everything at that
time, put ban upon the rendition OF
this song.
The wisdom of this ancient melody.
however, has often been apparent.
The negro was made to believe that
the north was Beulah Land, but
many who turned their faces in that
direction came back sadder and Wis
er. 1t is so now, when white men
succeed in inducing negroes to emil
crate to the north. The victims soon
realize that they are out OF place,
and it is not. long before they seek
their old abodes.
Exodus of the negroes from East st.
Louis, ILL.,, continues following the
rioting there. On Wednesday one ne
gro was shot and two others beaten
so severely they were removed to
hosnitals and a number of others re-
ceived miner injuriers at the hands
of mobs which paraded the streets
despite extra policemen and deputies
md state guardsmen.

LINCOLN'S PROCEDURE.

Clement Laird Valiandigham, of
Ohio. eN-member of congress, violent
Lincoln opponent, and peace-at-any--
price exponent, opposed the draft in
the civil war both on the house floor
and later after he left that body
Vallandigham's conduct led TO inves-
ylgation as to his loyalty to the I'm
ion. He was arrested May. 1863,
court martialed and sentenced to
imprisonment at Fort Warren.
President Lincoln, however, exer-
cising war powers of a chief execu-
tive, ordered General Burnside to
ship Fallandigham across to the
enemy's lines. Accordingly. VAL
landi@ham was sent to MurphySboro.
whence he was sent across NO
Mans Land" to the enemy lines.
At this crisis in our country's his
tory 1t may be suggested that the
time has come when we should send
all foreigners who are sympathizing
with the central powers of Europe
back to tkeir friends. 1t is said that
in our own city some of German ex-
traction have expressed themselves
thus: "l'll never be satisfied until
sec the flag Of the FatherIand float
ing over the Capitol in Washington"
If such enemies of the country We're
coraled and sent to the land whence
they came. where they would encoun-
ter famine conditions. it would be
sufficient warning to others who are
nesting under the Stars and
Stripes.

correction says prophets of 1.-The,
Emma Goldman stripe, who come to
america to enjoy its freedom and
then abuse it on every hand, and

pref the whole spirit of our govern
ment, should in time Of war, like the
present, be treated as traitors or
deported to the beloved fatherland
whence they fled. Emigrants who
mistake license for liberty, who
always want to "get" 5us never give,
of themselves or of allegiance, are
as miasma in our slough of too
generous hospitality.

GERMAN SOCIALIST TERMS.

As cotemporary observes, the
German Socialists have no standule
whatever in a peace convention
Thew went over, body and soul, TO
the Imperialists before: the war
During the war they have had the
;nnudence to ask the Socialists OF
France and Italy to urge their people
to assent to peace on the basis OIL
a German victory. They nave
cheerfully followed the Kaiser IN his
attacks on other countries, and now
that their resources are beginning to
be exhausted they are anxious Tor
neace-on terms favorable to Ger
many.
Their terms are no anneXatlons
and no indemnities. Germany has
from the first been insisting that 1t
would. get both from its enemies
Now that it knows il wont, 1t puts
forward it's Socialists to propose that
the other side shall not have anneNa-
tions or indemnities. Like all other
Teutonc proposals, it is heads
win and tails you lose
No annexations, but the German
Socialists are quite ready for am
putations-on other countries than
their own.
Peace on the terms of the German
Socialists would leave Germany as
completely the master of Austria
Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey as 1t
is of Posen or Alsace. 1t would be
far stronger from military point
of view than it was in 1914, and
ready to watch its chance to make
another spring on the rest of the
world. The self-denial that would
forego the annexation Of Belgium
does not preclude the demand fol
the absorption of Belgium economi-
; cally, and large part of Germany
still expects to extend its seacoast
, to a point where, in the language OF
one German general. it can "hold a
knife at the throat of England" AS
the Germans use the phrase, mo an
nexations" is entirely consistent with
specifications Of the frontier" which
would result in giving Germany
mineral regions that it covets. These
are insisted on "to protect Germany
from attack"
Germany was not attacked, and
there will he no peace until that
brazen lie is abandoned. and neither
the German Socialists nor the other
Germans will name the peace terms.
When they are sufficiently tired of
the war they can ask the allies ?or
the terms Of peace.
