HOY DEMANDS REVENGE FOR
 DEAD MOTHER
If United States Will Not Take Up Fight He Will Join With
 Another Flag.
By George Willard Bontc

WASHINGTON, Feb 2S. - The State Department today made public the cablegram sent by Austin Roy, to President Wilson, demanding that the death of his mother and sister, who were victims of the torpedoing of the CunarI liner Laconia, be avenged
 'T am an American citizen repre- senting the Sullivan Machinery Com. pany, of Chicago. I am living abroad not as an expatriate but for the pro- motion of American trade. love the flag, believing in it's significance. My loved mother and sister, passen. gers on the Laconia, have been foul ly murdered on the high seas.
 "As an American citizen outraged and as such, fully within my rights as an American son and brother be- reaYed, call upon my government to preserve It's citizens self-respect and save others Of my countrymen from such deep grief as now feel.
 q Gm of military age, able to fight if my country can use me against these brutal assasins. I am at its call. If it stulIfies my manhood and my nations by remaining passive un' der the outrage, I shall seek mans chance under another nag."

BARTERING WAS UNFAIR.

Berlin, Feb. 29. - Chancellor Bethmann-HOllweg in speech in the Reichstag today said; T would fully understand it if the United States, as the protector of International law, should have bar tered for its re-estabishment in an equal fashion with all the bellig- erents and if desiring to restore peace to the world, had taken meas ures to enforce and end the present bloOdshed.
 But, l cannot possibly consider it a vital question for the Ameri- can nation to protect International law in a one-sided fashion, only against Germany. Our enemies and the American circles, which are un- friendly to us, thought that they could point out an important differ ence between our course of action and that of the British.
 Why did the British not en- danger American lives?
 "Only because the neutral cOun- tries and especially America, vol untarily submitted to the British orders in breaking off diplomatic relations with us. The British and Americans attempted to prefect Q mobilization of all neutrals against us. This does not serve for the protection of the sea as proclaimed by the United States"
 The Chancellor then stated that the Americans aboard the Yarrow- dale would not be released owing to an infectious disease having broken out aboard the ship.

ON BRINK OF WAR.

Washington, Feb. 28.-The Unit ed States is standing today on the very threshold of war. Its partici- patton may be forced in the i'm mediate future but every effort is being made to avoid active partici- patton in the hostilities even though the President and his clos est advisers have characterized the sinking of the Laconia in the night, without warning, causing a loss

 Out Action.

BULLETIN, Washington, Feb. 28. It is the plan of President Wilson in event that Congress should fail to give him the right to arm Am erican ships and to do other things which he presented in his last ad- dress to Congress, to proceed to doing things on his own motion.
 He will act on the constitutional authority given him as commander m-chief of the army and navy, to protect lives and property of Am erican citizens.
 The Administration still believes that Congress will do what the President has asked but should it fail, he will do them anyway and plans to that end are now being made.
 President Wilson believes that his position accurately reflects the American public opinion and that if Congress should not respond to his request it will be put in a po- Sition of failing to reflect that opin- ion.

Advice for Husbands.

Most words If wisdom that fall from
the pens of experts on the subject of
love are written for women. Appar-
emily these little sermons are written
with the idea that only mans love is
worth keeping and that woman's cam
not possibly last.
We are told that man must never be
bored by trifing domesticities, but in
stead be encouraged to talk about his
business, and so on. Why should 1t
be addressed to one sex only?
Why not say to husbands: Remem-
Der that women are women and that
their great need is for love. Love is
their vocation, the thing they do best,
their greatest need in life Why should
the wife be expected to listen admir-
ingly TO the husbands tale of routing
of a commercial rival when he does
not show an equal courtesy when she
describes her experiences of the day2

Solving a Golf Problem.

1t was the office of the great sport
ing paper, and the golf editor was tax
ing a holiday. In his absence the in
quiries from readers which the golf
ing man answered through his CORE
spondence column were handed to the
racing editor.
(which is the better course" asked
an ardent follower of the royal and
ancient game, ito fuzzle ones putt
or to fetter on the tee"
The turfman tilted back in his chair
and smoked five cigarettes before tax
ing his pen in hand. Then, when he
had come to a decision on the weighty
problem, he wrote as follows:
"Should a player snaggle his iron,
it is permissible for him to fuzzle his
putt; but better plan would be to
drop his guppy into the pringle and
snoodle it out with niblick."

Lese-M a Iesty.

Lese-majesty in Jurisprudence signi-
fies any crime committed against the
sovereign power in a state. Among
the Romans "crimen laesae majesta-
tbs" denoted a charge brought against
a citizen for acts of rebellion, usurpa-
ton of office, or general misdemeanors
of political character, which were
comprehended under the title of Of
lenses against the majesty of the Ro-
man people. In the reign of Tiberius,
according to Suetonius, it was lese-
majesty to fog a slave or to change
ones clothes In the presence of any
image of the emperor. Germany gives
the law very vigorous force in all criu-
cisms of the emperor's official acts.

ognition Constitution of the United

WORLD FULL OF COMPLAINERS
Some Wall About III Health, Many
About III Fortune, but Most of
All About III Luck.

The world is full of complainers.
Some complain of i'll health, many of
i'll fortune and most of all of i'll luck.
A pound Of pluck is worth a ton of
luck. It is not a perfect world. Who
is well every day throughout the year
without an ache, a pain or cough?
Who is perfect in physique, in tenn
per. in deed and word and conscience2
What man or woman is without a
weakness or reason at times for mis-
givings or cause at times for repent
ance?
1t is world of foibles, fads and
fanatics. If we were all perfect, the
preachers would he needless. Heaven
would be on earth.
There is comfort in the thought that
the striking differences we find among
men and women make the world at
tractive. If all were alike, the mo-
notony would be unbearable.
Think of these things when you feel
like repenting over i'll health, Ill for
tune. i'll treatment or i'll luck.
Misery loves company and there are
always "others.

ARE YOU WORTHY OF TRUST?
Confidence Before We Demand
1t, Urges Writer.

People resent an insinuation that
they are not to be trusted, in general,
or with Il particular duty. Do we not
look within in impartial judgment to
see whether we really merit trust a?
Are we sufficiently competent to I'M
dertake the task in question? Are
we wise enough to inform ourselves of
matters wherein we find ourselves ig-
nOrant? Are we clear-sighted enough
TO estimate rightly men and affairs ?
Are we giving single-hearted service
to our fellow man?
Let us first be worthy of trust be-
fore we demand it, says a writer in
the Milwaukee Journal. 1t is poor
satisfaction TO gain trust to which we
know ourselves not entitled. Let our
first effort TO be to deserve trust; then
whether il is bestowed on us or not
will be of second consideration. Mac
donald said: "TO be trusted is a great
er compliment than to be loved" Yet
trust is the foundation of love. 1t is
well 10 be slow in bestowing trust.
Let time prove its worth. Once you
find the man whom you may implicitly
trust, treasure him closely. There is
an old saying, Eat peck of salt with
a man before you trust him."

Insurind the Apple Crop.

OF late years scientific attempts
have been made to insure the apple
crop. Formerly apple growing was
sort of gamble. Perhaps Jack Frost
might slip down from the hills into an
orchard. some spring night, when the
trees were in bloom, and with touch
of his icy fingers, blast the entire
crop. Even if he passed up the oppor-
tunity of freezing the incipient crop
the worms and bugs and various dis
eases got in their work. All the way
through apple growing was more or
less of a gamble. Not so today. The
apple producer provides himself with
smadge pots filled with oil, and when
the temperature drops to the freez-
ing point in spring time the grower
lights the heaters and maintains safe
temperature. Then at the proper time
he goes forth with spraying ap-
paratus and wards off the danger and
damage of a myriad host of creeping,
crawling, flying singing insects and
some tree diseases as well.

CITY KEEPS PENN'S PROMISE
Philadelphia Still Maintains Gamma
Grounds for Indians If They Care
to Visit Metropolis.

Historical Philadelphia we all know
or should know, well, but there are
very few who have ever heard of some
of the old, ut-Of-the-ordinary things
tnat go to form quaint Philadelphia.
One scarcely connects Indians with
the city nowadays, and yet at this
present time if a tribe of Indians
should care to visit Philadelphia they
would find two camping grounds await
ing them in the very heart of the city.
One lies between Broad and Juniper
streets, in the rear Of the Ritz Carlton
Hotel, while the other one is down on
Second street. Years ago, when Penn
made his treaty with the Indians, he
promised them that "a place would be
kept for them and their descendants
forever, where they could camp when
they came to Philadelphia and while
these plots of ground are not large,
yet they still stand there in fulfillment
of PENIS promise.
The old shot tower down on Second
street belongs, too, to Quaint Philadel-
phia. 1t dates back to the early days
of the republic. In those days there
were none of our up-to-date methods
for making shot round, and the method
then employed was to drop the melted
metal from a height into water, thus
forming it into round balls or shot.

Music LANGUAGE of Soul.

The meaning of music goes deep. 1t
is the universal language of the soul.
Where speech fails, song is only be-
ginning. Music can make mems hearts
as steel in the face of battle, when
thousands are to be stricken down
and trampled into the earth, or it can
melt these same hearts to tender love
and make them tremble at sweet
hearts whisper. Music can cleanse
the soul for worship, or it can de-
prave for the vilest orgies. 1t uplifts,
and 1t debases; it inspires TO the high,
the sweet, the true, and it deadens to
the gross and low, the vicious and the
heartless. Freedom and love and fidel-
ity and praise-words that illumine all
language-would be meaningless and
dead but for the spirit iustilled into
them BY song.-Exchauge.

NEVER TOO LATE TO BEGIN
There Is No Past So Black or So Bit
ter That 1t Cannot Be Redeemed,
Declares Writer.

Take heart and begin again As
Kipling says, ''there is for you moth
| ing irremediable, nothing ineffaceable,
nothing irreconcilable in anything you
may have said or thought or done"
There is no past so black or so bitter
that 1t cannot be redeemed "Though
thy sins are as scarlet they shall be
made whittier than snow"
There is no better time to have a
mental house cleaning than now,
writes DR.. Orison Sweet Marden in the
Nautilus. 1t is good time to get rid
of the rubbish that has so long been
a handicap. Don't pull along with you
through the door of the present all the
miserable black, painful things which
worried you, marred your success and
your happiness in the past Shut all
of these horrid ghosts out behind the
closed door of your past life. Take
across the threshold of the new day
only those things that can help you, the
friends of your success and your hap
piness; take only the pleasant memo
ries, the helpful thoughts and sugges-
lions with you. Leave all the others
behind. Bury all your skeletons so deep
that they can never come to live with
you again.
Say TO them: "YOu miserable devils,
you have logged my steps, hindered
my progress, destroyed my peace of
mind, and strangled my efficiency long
enough. 1 will have nothing more to
do with you. I am Gods child, and l
was not made to be bounded by these
enemies who are trying to thwart my
ambition and to dwarf my career by
devitalizing me, and then cutting down
my efficiency"

Wedding Cake of Ancient origin.

The wedding cake is of ancient
origin. In its earliest form it was moth
ing more than small cake of wheat
or barley. Half of this was eaten by
the bride and half by the bridegroom,
as a token that they were Joined to-
gether for life. The wedding ring, a
symbol of everlasting love, is derived
from a heather source. The giving of
an engagement ring also dates back
many centuries, for in the time of the
Roman empire the lover always sent
his beloved a ring as pledge, but the
young lady had then to be contented
with n ring of iron, without stone
Of any kind.
