EXPLANATIONS FAIL.

In accounting for Colonel Harvey's S
egregious and confessed mistake. all
the ordinary explanations fail, 1t is
said that ne did not really mean ex-
actiy what he said, and that he ex-
pressed himself unhappily. But he is a
skilled writer. His speech was care
fully prepared. His friends would be
the last ones to ask that he be let off
because he did not know how to select
his words. The plea is offered that the
Ambassador was not aware how his
language would CRATE upon the ears
of the American people and perturb
the Administration. But he is suppos-
ed to be the most adroit politician OF
his time, able to hit American senti-
ment between wind and water.

There is no question in my mind
that had Bill found Steve he would
have plunked him and there is no
question but he was found by Sam

RANK AND INTELLIGENCE.

There was once an old Negro min
lister in Alabama who became noted
for his opposition to all scientific ex-
plantations Of the universe. The Dar-
winian theory he would have none Of;
ii other persons wanted to claim a
family tree which ran back to apes,
all right. but for him. he preferred
the orthodox teaching. Investiga-
tons in physics he ruthlessly cast
aside. The sun do move," he would
exclaim dramatically, when he at
tempted to combat the fact that it was
the earth which moved about the sun.
Now that we get a proper perspec-
tive OF good Queen Victoria" we see
that she was as staunch in her olden
beliefs as the Alabama parson who
refused to surrender to modern
thought interpreting ancient fact.
Lytton Strachey includes In his life
OF Queen Victoria" which has ap-
peared on the book stalls, an admi-
rabIe picture of the old lady attempt
ing TO hold back the currents Of mod
ern tendencies which We're sweeping
through her tight little isle"
Says Strachey:
From the social movements of
her time Victoria was equally re-
mote. Towards the smallest no
less than towards the greatest
changes she remained infiexible.
During her youth and middle age
smoking had been forbidden in
polite society; and as long as she
lived she would not withdraw her
anathema against it. i1gs might
protest; bishops and ambassadors,
invited to Windsor, might be re-
duced in the privacy OF their bed
rooms, to lie full length upon the
floor and smoke up the chimney
the interdict continued.
1t might have been supposed
that a female sovereign would
have lent her countenance to one
of the most vital of all reforms
TO which her epoch gave birth
the emancipation of women; but
on the contrary: the mere men,
ton of such a proposal sent the
blood rushing TO her head. In
1870, her eyes having fallen upon
the report Of a meeting in favor of
Women's Suffrage, she wrote to
Mrs. Martin in royal rage.
The Queen is most anxious to
enlist everyone who can speak
or write 10 join in checking this

makes the Queen so furious that
she cannot contain herself. God

U. S. SUB GOES Down
Crew Rescued After Exposed
For Ten Hours.
Boat Goes Down or Coast Near
Bridgeport Coast-Damaoe to
Boat Said to Be Slight.

New York-The United States sub
marine S-48 sank off the Bridgeport,
Conn.,, harbor Wednesday and was
submerged for 12 hours before the
crew of 81, by tightening the ballast
tanks, raised one end of the craft to
the surface and escaped through the
torpedo tubes.
The 81 members of the crew were
brought to the hospital at the New
York navy yard for observation.
Many of them had been overcome
by chlorine gas, and three, including
the commander, Lieutenant Francis
Adam Smith, were said to be in Sc
rious condition.
The crew, who said their craft had
made nose dive of Bridgeport har-
Dor and stuck on the bottom, told a
remarkable story of rescue.
Lighted Match Brings Reseuers.
According to report made to the
commandant, they lightened one end
of the submarine until 1t appeared
above the water, and then sat
perched on this pinnacle for more
than 10 hours, until after darkness
had fallen. Then, by lighting matches,
they attracted the attention of a pass
ing tanker which picked them up and
brought them here.
Several of the men, as well as Lieu
tenant Francis Adams Smith, were
found to be suffering from the effects
Of chlorine gas created by salt water
flooding storage batteries. After ex-
animation, however, only three were
detained at the hospital
Hatch Cover Loosened, Belief.
The submarine left Bridgeport at
1928 a. m. on trial trip. About one
mile off the entrance to the harbor,
after making nose dive, it failed to
come up and its commander reported
that the presumption was one of its
hatch covers had not been properly
fastened, allowing water to seep in.
Salvaging operations already have
been started. The submarine is be.
lieved not to have been seriously dam.

MEETING OLD FRIENDS
Fiske o'Hara and A. M. Auiser Meet
After TWenty-TWo Years.

Fiske o'Hara and A. NJ. Auiser Meet
After Twenty-TW Years.
Twenty two years ago Messrs. Fiske
O'Hara and A. M. Aulger were playing
together as members of Burk's Dra-
matte Co., not a very pretentious
company in those days, playing the
smaller towns and villages. They be-
this company, both continuing in the
theatrical business, and yesterday the
two gentlemen met in Mankato for the
first time since their start in the pro-
fession. Twenty two years is a long
period and many changes have taken
place during that time, but the men
had not forgotten each other or the
time when they were taking their first
steps as stage entertainers, and they
greatly enjoyed their visit here yes
Mr.. O'Hara happened to be in Man
kato playing two nights engage
ment, and Mr.. Aulger, one of the pro-
prtetors of the Aulger Bros. Dramatic
Co. which opens weeks engagement
\ Mankato tonight, arrived here yes
terday with his company, the exchange
of greetings between the two actors
and theatrical men taking place on the
Mr.; O'Hara's closing performance, last
night.
1t is needless to state that the two
gentlemen thoroughly appreciated the
opportunity offered for their coming
together In Mankato after the long
separation and this visit will always
be remembered as will it also form
one Of the pleasant features Of their
1921 % season. Both have made sue
cessful advances in the theatrical
profession since their start twenty
two years ago.

CUT THROUGH OZONE
Messages Received In Mankato
BY Wireless; the Clever
Apparatus

Mankato people, little realize that
they have in their midst a wireless
outfit that picks up messages from
France, boats on the ocean, Califor-
nia, Florida and all points in the
United States. John Pfau, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Pfau, Jr., 222
Clark street, has one that does all
Of this. He gets the weather report
each day from Arlington, Va, and
picks up lots of stray bits of news
IN the evening that appears in the
paper the next day. John also can
hear voices on calls from Minne-
apolis as easily as voices are heard
over the phone here in Mankato.
He put up the wireless himself, and
has had 1t in operation for about
two years and is now applying for a
license so that he may send mes
sages, as well as receive them John
has the wireless situated on the
third floor at his home. and here he
has many devices that he has fash :
toned, that none but a genius could
fashion.
1t Is understood that the officials
of the Hubbard mill are considering
equippng the mill and all of their
men with a wireless so that they
may get the very latest reports on
wheat and -four, without any delay.
