HOUSATONIC SUNK
 OFF ENGLAND COAST
Freighter Reported Torpedoed With out Warnine-Officers and
 Crew Saved.

London-The American steamer man submarine.
 Later information confirmed the report that the Housatonic was sunk near the Sicily Islands.
 The rumor is current that the Hous- atomic was sunk without warning.
 The Housatonic was submarined at noon. All the officers and crew were saved by British armed cruiser.
 Washington.-New of the sinking of the Housatonic created a sensation here but State Department officials pointed out that it would depend en- tirely upon the circumstances wheth CT the incident would affect the pres ent situation.
 The ship was carrying contraband. and if she was destroyed with proper warning and provision for the safety of her crew or in an attempt to es- cape, the United States would merely have claim for damages as in the Frye case.
 The first effect of the incident in of ficial quarters was to direct attention anew to the presidents declaration in lis address to Congress that if Amerl- can ships and lives were sacrificed fin needless contravention of the just and reasonable understandings of in ternational law he would again go be- fore Congress for authority to use any means that may be necessary for the protection of our seamen and our people"

THE SREFoRMATIoN CANTATA.
VIII lie Given at United Lutheran
Church Friday Evening,
May %.

The following synopsis of the Re-
formation Cantata, which will be
given by local talent at the United
Lutheran church in DEBORAH Friday
evening, May %, will be of interest:
AS indicated by the title, this
work is written in commemoration
of the Lutheran Reformation. The
! text and the musical setting pic
ture the historical unfolding of the
Idivine plan of sa.vation, from its
promise in ancient prophecy and its
| full revelation in Nthe Gospel to its
restoration in the struggles and vic
tories in the Reformation age and
the extension, the ideals and the
prospects Of the Reformation Church.
The main musical theme, that of
Luther's great Reformation hymn,
which recurs at various places in the
composition, is developed at length
| the opening chorus of praise and
federation to the Trinity.
The narrator takes up the story
of the prophetic message concerning
the founding of His Church and the
content of the Gospel, comprising
Mary's song of praise (the Magnifi-
caD, the chorus, Arise, We soldiers
of the cross" and Christ's invitation,
Come unto me, all We that labor"
Again the narrator continues the
story of the history of the Church
the victories of the cross over pagan
a, the entrance of error and de-
the longing for light and free
N and the coming of liberation
80 gh the work of the reformers.
hOral THE Word of God our
a..e' sums up the doctrine and
ions of the new movement
chorus "She came with us
'-e the sea-, the scene changes
Church of the Reformation in
country. 1t dwells on it's
..uold roots in the various coun-
tries of the old world and on its tri-
umphs in this new environment.
In the following chorus is a pro-
phetic vision of the future Of this
Church, it's prospects of unity and
power, its championship of truth and
light, and it's assurance of progress
and victory.
In the concluding number for
chorus and congregation, "a nigh
| ty fortress is our God" the main
theme, with which the work was be-
gun, reappears in it's simplest form
and so sums up the faith and the
hope, the assurance and the joyful
trust in God of the Church, past,
present and future.
1t may be mentioned that the an
hr rrn.n
orian modes as well as modern har-
monte forms have been utilized
wherever the text aid theme have
made their use seem appropriate and
desirable.

Enamelled kitchen utensils are very much

enamelled ware is undoubtedly "horrid," but
this is not the adjective to be applied to the
Lisk pudding pan and saucepan, which stood
the acid test in The Tribune Institute Labora-
tory. If dish can do this it gives every evil
dence Of durability.
The white enameled Tipped saucepan, when
has capacity of four quarts, was placed empty
for three minutes on gas burner drawing
Twelve cubic feet of gas, and then cupful
of cold water was thrown in. There was no
evidence of chipping or buckling. The same
test was made on a three-quart pudding pan
and it also came out untouched.
This ware is very good to look upon and IS
made without those corners and crevlces wnere
dirt is prone to accumulate. a.
