OFFERED IMMUNITY
TO GRAIN CARRIERS
Germans Blame Masters of Dutch
Craft for Loss of Their Caryocs.

Germans Blame Masters of Dutch
Craft for Loss of Their Cargocs.
Berlin, Feb. "a (via Sayville, Feb.
25) An official statement with ref
erence to the sinking of the Dutch
steamers by a German submarine is
given out through the medium of the
Overseas News agency as follows.
According to kilograms received
from Holland February 22 at 5
Io'clock in the afternoon, several
Dutch ships were destroyed which,
with the agreement of Germany,
wanted to leave the barred zone in n
westward direction from Falmouth
and Dartmouth.
In answer to this, it is stated in
authoritative quarters, that after the
declaration of the barred zone, Dutch
ship owners asked the British author,
tiles to permit 33 steamers lying at
Falmouth and Dartmouth, OF which
20 were loaded with grain for the
Dutch government, to proceed out OF
the barred zone, which were still
there after the expiration of the time
fixed (by Germany, February D.
The German authorities agreed to
this, making an exception in order
to let the 20 cargoes of grain reach
the Dutch government, but the CON
dition was added that the ships ough,
not to sail later than February To-
IL. In this way the ships would

the barred zone within the extended
time, which was known to all subma.
rines.
The Dutch ship owners accepted
this offer, but were for some reason
unable to get their ships out of the
English ports within the allotted
time. They renewed their request
for permission TO sail later and were
informed that the vessels could leave
Dartmouth or Falmouth in full safe

safety February %, by an indicated
route.
Eighteen of the ships decided to
sail February %, travelling together.
! Word reached Berlin February 16 OF
thls intention, and thereupon the
ship owners were expressly informed
that unconditional safety could not
be granted for February %, as ther,
was no certainty that all the subma
rines engaged in the waters to be
traversed would receive the wireless
order. At the same time IL was in
sisted that outside the indicated
course no guarantee whatever would
be given with respect to the danger
of mines
Apparently eight ships finally
took upon themselves the risk OF the
trip. II the Dutch news is correct,
that these eight ships were destroy
ed--one is said to have struck a
mine near the English coast while
the other seven OF the afternoon OF
February % were destroyed in the
course indicated-it is to be deeply
regretted, but the responsibility falls
upon the ship owners, who preferred
Ito send their ships under only com
parative security on February %, in
stead OF waiting until March IT, at
which time full safety had been
promised.

 THE FAMOUS

A good story in Field Marshal Sir Evelyn Woods new book, "Winnowed Memories" is told of man, then over so, whose guest the writer once was and who held rather strict views on religion.
 At dinner on the first night of his (Sir Eyelyn's) stay his host called out from the end of table seating twenty four guests: Colonel Wood, do you believe that Jonah was three days and three nights in the whales belly?"
 I remarked How very uncomfort- able for the whale!" to which he re- piled: twill you tell me, sir do you believe it or not?"
 I asked Please say how the whales digestion went on.' and he said an- garily q asked you plain question. Do you or do you not believe it?" and answered, .cheerily. No To witch he rejoined "Then, you will leave my house tomorrow morning"

The ladies retired, and as I opened the door for my hostess, whom I had taken into dinner she observed, "Oh. I do hope you are not going!"

Admiral Lord Fisher is fond of tell ing a story of how he was once giv- ing a short lecture to his ships com pany on their demeanor in public.
 Above all things he impressed upon them that they must avoid quarrel ing or crawling.
 "If," he said "a civilian should make offensive remarks in public house, and try to induce quarrel, the well conducted sailor should drink up his beer. and go quietly away.
 After his address "Jackey" Fisher questioned his audience to ascertain if they had comprehended his re- marks.
 Now Seaman Smith what should you do If you were at an inn and a civilian wanted to quarrel with you?''
 "I should drink up his beer, sir, and 'ook it!" was the unexpected reply, given in all good faith.

SUFFRAGE BILL
Is|NTRQDuCE0-
YSEN. TUCKER
COMES IN FORM OF RESOLUTION
OFFERING SUBSTITUTE FOR
THE FAMOUS GRANDFATHER
CLAUSE.

Senator Fred Tucker and Represent
atiye Bert Hodges are the fathers of
a proposed amendment to the state
constitution. which, if it should be
carried through, will give women the
right to vote in Oklahoma.
Tucker introduced his plan to the
senate yesterday in a resolution pro-
yiding for a submission of the amend
ment The resolution would give the
women the right to vote by inserting
the word sex so that it will read
that there shall be no discrimination
in giving the privilege to vote because
of sex, race, color, or previous con
dition," and inserting the words "her"
and him" where reference is made to
voters. The grandfather part of the
amendment provides for the substitu-
tion Of the Mississippi clause for the
clause now in force in oklahoma The
Mississippi clause was fought through
the supreme court OF the United
States and upheld by that body, and
Tucker says in defense of his proposed
amendment. that "one opposing this
measure must favor negro domination
and at the same time oppose the en-
franchisement OF the white women Of
the state"
Senator Tucker also introduced
bill in the senate asking for an appro-
priation of $500 for the maintenance
of the Confederate home here, for
period Of two years ending June 30,
1918.
Another bill introduced in the SEN
ate is one by Ryan and Hogg asking
for an appropriation of $125,OOO for
the purpose Of establishing a pension
fund for the benefit Of Confederate
soldiers and sailors residing in the
state.
