= ~ Ryndam Turned About,
oyo6 Her Passengers and
Nog Cargo, and Averted War!

~ Tines does not know, Of course
~hen war with Germany viii come-no-
tody knows.
The lingo newspapers are confident
hat Il can be q matter of only few
hours.
In their case. however, the wish is
(sthsr to the headline.
The Times does not know that war
With Germany viii come at ALT hopes
HAT war does NOT come.
StiIl, we fall 10 wondering Just what
he situation would be at the present
dine II the captain Of the Holland-Ameri-
can line steamship Ryndam had elected to
bake course other than the course he
took when he was warned by German
submarine to turn back.
The story. which reaches New York
from unofficial sources. is this:
The Ryndam left New York on January
- for Rotterdam, flying the flag of Hol-
land end having on board the American
consular agent at Luxembourg and 100
sther cabin passengers.
She was within Ia hours of Falmouth
when the warning Of the submarine was
received.
The captain swung her around imme-
lately and Is expected to reach New
York today or tomorrow.
The New York Office Of the steamship
eompany was visited by newspaper rep
eesentative whose report Of his interview
dhows very plainly that he hoped to
msst there the same spirit that seems to
h manifest on the part of other steam
ship companies whose heads keep on de-
slaring: I'VE shall sail"
But the Newspaper representative did
ut find that spirit at all
The officer Of the steamship company
NTH whom he talked, said:
THE CAPTAIN WAS CLEARLY
WITHIN HIS RIGHTS. AS FULL RE-
4oNsIBTLTTY FOR THE SAFETY OF
TIE SHIP AND PASSENGERS is HIS
WHILE AT SEA"
This captain is. Of course. ~spineless
coward"
Maybe he viii be denounced as pro
German sympathizer."
They may 60 20 far as to call him a
pacihst" -one is quite roundly condemn
a ct this time IL he is a pacifst.
II he Is pacifst he "isn't patriotic. "
But the idea is this:
The Ryndxm Is SAFE and COMING
BACK
THE LIVES OF THE HUNDREDS
UPON HER HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Her CARGO has been saved.
And IL the United States is forced into
war with Germany, it win not be the
FAULT of the Ryndam.
"You viii admit, however," we hear
someone observe, that our shipping ha.
been interrupted in the case of the Ryn-
dam? Her cargo from these shores
did not reach its intended destination"
Yes, we will admit it, meantime sug-
gesting that II has not been interfered
With to the extent it WOULD have been
hterfered with il the Ryndam had been
hit by torpedo, in which event it would
not have reached its intended destination,
either.
We claim that II has even a BETTER
CHANCE of reaching its destination
eventually.
A little interference with shipping from
This country might not be bad idea at
that.
Possibly it would have the effect OF
keeping potatoes. say, on this side Of the
water, and of keeping the price down

REVOLUTION IN
 CUBA IS ENDED
Death Sentence Expected for ex- President Gomez and Other Lead ing C0nspiratOrs -- Havana Is
 Jubilant Over End of Trouble.

Havana, Cuba, March S.-The rev olution in Cuba is apparently ended. The capture of ex-president Gomez and his entire staff, leaders of the insurrection was expected to be fol- lowed by sentence of death on these conspirators.
 At the same time there were re- ports current here that the rebels in Camaguey had been forced to ca pitulate.
 Havana has given itself over to Jubilation today at the coup. All last night the city rang with gaiety celebrating the governments victory in the battle by which Gomez was enthusiastically stated to have been the biggest battle in the history of Cuba.
 General Gomez and his whole staff of 300 men were taken prison CTS by government forces" the offi- clal announcement declares.
 General Collazo has been in close touch with Gomez for the past three days and last night joined in the operations resulting in probably the biggest battle in the history of Cuba.
 More than 5000 men participated in the combat. Details of the bat tie are lacking, but it is known that, besides prisoners taken, the rebels lost 100 killed and wounded. Among the prisoners is Gomezs son.
 The attitude of the government continues the same. Ample pardons have been offered, and will be ex- tended to all who show they are sin cerely sorry for their offence against the republic.
 ITO few ringleaders may be meted out the punishment which in the judgement of the high court may be inst"

Papers Attack Sen.

Picking, March i2.-The message sent by Dr. Sun Yat Sen to Premier Lloyd George, of England, urging the English officials to cease their ef- forts to induce China to join the en- tente allies, has been widely pub lished turnout China.
 The Chinese newspapers today de- livered attacks on the message as ridiculous, and they scoff at Sens suggestion that if China threw in their lot with the entente, it would provoke another boxer uprising with the massacre of foreigners and cre- ate dissention among the other members of the entente.
 The newspapers deny that China is being coerced by England, and declare that Sen is unwarranted in an assertion that he makes, to the effect that Mohammedan uprising is impossible.
 They condemn the radical leader as a trouble maker.

YES. LIFT \ CORN
 OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati Authority Tells How to Dry Up Corn or Callus So It
 Lifts or With Fingers.

You eorn-pestered men and wom- en need suffer no longer. Wear shoes that nearly killed you before, says this Cincinnati authority, be- cause a few drops of freezone ap- piled directly on tender, aching corn or callus, stops soreness at once and soon the corn or hardened call lus loosens so it can be lifted out, root and all, without pain.
 A small bottle of freezone costs very little at any drug store, but will positively take off every hard or soft corn or callus. This should be tried, as it is inexpensive and is said not to irritate the surrounding skin.
 If your druggist hasn't any free zone tell him to get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house. It is fine stuff and acts like a charm every time.--Adv.

the club, as now determined is as follows Dr. H. c. Rushing, J. T. Magruder. E. H. Sapp, Jesse Badt, D. E. Dodd. w k. Watkins, c. l.. Graham, R. GoiT and V. w. St John.
 The constitution requires that five members shall constitute a quorum of the committee, and that any mat ter decided by the committee must have vote of a majority of the en- tire committee.
 The matter of selecting a per manent club headquarters, while a duty of the executive committee, was discussed by President Rush ing and others. Dr. Rushing voiced the hope that the consent of the Kansas City Southern Railway Com pany could be obtained to allow the club to use the old eating house room as headquarters. Going fur ther into the idea, it was suggested that not only would it be club headquarters, but the club secre- tary would be placed there, as we'll as the county farm demonstrator and the canning club agent, and that the rooms would be thrown open to all farm organizations as a meeting place.
 A resolution was adopted mak- ing March i5 the date for the first monthly payment of money sub Icribed by members, each succeed ing payment to be made on the 18th of coming months. Pointing to the fact that Recording Secretary Sapp received no pay for performing many duties, including the collec- ton of these instaIlments, sug- gestion was favored that, so far as possible, each member mail to Mir. Sapp a check for his monthly pay ment on or before the 18th of each month.
 A resolution was unanimously adopted to incorporate the club, and steps to do so will be taken at once.
 After adjournment luncheon was served, c. L. Graham supplying large keg of ice cold Exelso and Daddy" Davis preparing and pre- siding over the sandwiches.
 The executive committee held a rather lengthy session, organizing by electing ]. T. Magruder as chair man. Mir. Magruder rendered the use of the directors room of the First National Bank as a permanent meeting place for the executive committee, and this being so desir- ably located the offer was accepted with thanks.
 The regular meeting nights of the club are set for the second and fourth Fridays of each month. the executive committee meetings to be at the call of the chairman.
