Dramatic Incidents Accom-

IMPRISONED AZ HOURS
Drawn to Safety Through
Holes Cut Into Submer-

New York, Sept. S.-The sub
marine So, which was caught on
the bottom east of Delaware Capes
for more than forty hours, has been
raised and her crew is safe aboard
the battleship Ohio, according to a
wireless message.
The S-5, this message said, is be-

Their escUe was accomplished dra-

morning. when men from the steam
ship Goethals crept aboard the por-
tion of the submarine that project
ed above the water. and with hand
drills cut a hole in the side of the
Submersible through which the CX-
lausted members of the crew. who
had practically abandoned all hope
Of rescue, were drawn to safety.
Advices to the navy radio station
said the submarine was brought to
the surface between ) and 8 o'clock
this morning.
The fact that she was being towel
in indicated that she was completely
disabled. The submarine So left
Boston Navy Yard last Monday on
a recruiting cruise. Last night the
Goethals sent broadcast a wireless
message, announcing that the sub
marine had been submerged for
thirty-five hours at a point east of
Delaware c4Pes. The radio said de-

The Department OF state, it was
learned yesterday, will dispatch q
new note to Poland urging that

While admitting that the attitu Ic

The subject was discussed by
President Wilson with Secretary

more than an hour yesterday. Fol
lowing this meeting it was ascer-
tanned that England. France and
Italy have all given informal as
surance to the United States that
they are in entire accord with her

While it was stated q, the state
yesterday that the re-

Berlin, Sept S.-Members OF the
German cabinet declared yesterday
that compliance with the French
demands for atonement for the
Breslau incident would undoubtedly
cost the government its life owing
to the field Of attack which IL opens
to conservative as well as radical
opponents. The fall Of the govern,

after the reconvocation Of parIia-

see a new government in power con-
stituted along more radical lines.

Herr Simons in his diplomats
conversations did not question the

Adder's Tongues

The pathetic story of young girl
ruined by false insinuations, and her
subsequent suicide is narrated by an
Eastern paper.
Some peoples limbs are faint with
haste" to bear an evil tale. That it
may mean life or death to another
affects them not at all.
These adders infest every commu-
nifty and sting as the snake stings-:
Itreacherously. When you hear
nasty tale, don't repeat it. When
some one tells you they say SO and
SO, turn deaf ear or let it die out of
consciousness. If it be true more's
the pity. If false, greater the pity
still.
The peddling Of gossip often is done
thoughtlessly; but the dagger is not
more deadly than an unbridled ton
que. What should be the proper
punishment of the one who drove the
unfortunate girl to seek death and
oblivion? What should the be pun
ishment of all those who by SANDER
Or careless and reckless speech drive
out the sunshine and hope from the
life of another who may be innocent
Or wrong? No man may justly meas
ure the extent of the penalty for such
crimes. There are natures which
seem to take fiendish delight in deny
ing the light of hope to the fallen;
and in this the women are more cruel
than men. Their words blister and
burn. They push the struggler back
into the mire, and forgiveness is de-
MED. Such cruel intolerance is not
the result of the prompting of innate
virtue; it is the tigerish instinct of
the primal time. With men there is
even less excuse. No wholesome,
clean minded man will-stoop to such
infamy.
Guard the tongue.

TRIBUTE

In the hurry and rush of life, and
in the petty cares that sometimes
absorb our thought, we fail to look
deeper into the hidden, richer moan
ing of life, and into the communion OF
spirit that we may hold one with an
other Among the many with whom
we hold daily intercourse there are
those whose souls lead us to nobler
and truer standards of womanhood.
Let us stop to consider the life of
our schocl-mate, and friend, Elsie
Terry, during the few months she
spent among us, and to appreciate
the value of the influence she exer-
ted which was result of her woman
ly character.
AS a friend she was loyal and sin
cere. We could not have guessed that
her path was not always the smooth
est, nor that everything was not al
ways the brightest, because for every
one she had smile and a wore OF
pleasant greeting. In meeting with
everyone she knew no restraint and
the presence Of a beautiful, free-heart
ed nature made itself felt wherever
She went. If word of comfort or
sympathy were needed CT if bit Of
wholesome advice were desired, she
was there to give it, ever in way
thoughtful and kind. Criticism of
others was not known to her. Looking
for Things good, she found in every
one something worthy of common
dation. She was always ready to do
any favor asked of her and impelleG
friendship and good-feeling.
As a student and school-mate, she
was ambitious and persistent, attain
ing things of true value by the road
of close application, and into sthis
phase of school-1ife she carried her
ideals of friendship, for she turned
to.uC W dlu IiiOoC WIN oOu5ilI ISl
help in the trivial daily affairs. Ell
sic supported enthusiastically all the
college organizations, and the work
she carried on in this way was felt in
the college, and among those with
whom she came in contact.
i AS christian, we cannot say too
much for" her beautiful life. She lived
in the simple child-like faith which
has witness Of the Christ-like spirit
dwelling within her. Her purity Of
thought was eXemplified by her ,ac-
tions. She lived ever close to the Mas
ter of Life and Light, drawing from
Him the grace with which to. meet
the trials and dissapointments which
come to us all.
Individually, and as studant and
faculty, we mourn her death and feel
deeply the loss Of her sweet life. The
memory Of her will always abide
with us as inspiring and sacred.
