THE LUSITANIA.
When the cable flashed the news that
the Lusitania carrying nearly two hun-
dred Americans had been sunk by a Ger-
man submarine The Light in pointing
: out that a grave crisis had been forced
upon the nation urged that the people
should remain calm and reserve judgment
until the facts were known.
They are all known now. There is no
dispute concerning them or any part of
them. They have been admitted and en-
dorsed in an official statement issued by
the German government and they form
a dark and bloody page of history that
will live as long in American memory
as the destruction of the Maine. The
facts are:
The Lusitania an unarmed merchant
vessel whose passengers and crew were
protected from harm by international law
acknowledged by Germany before the
commencement of the war carrying hun-
dreds of citizens of neutral nations was
torpedoed and sunk without warning by
a German submarine that made not the
slightest effort to save one of the dying
women and children.
There can be but one verdiet in the
case and that is that the act of the sub-
marine was murder. No other construc-
tion is possible.
Under the code of international law
to which Germany herself has subscribed
no nation at war has the right to sink
an unarmed vessel without warning and
without saving her passengers and crew.
The American citizens who took passage
on the Lusitania were protected by every
precept and precedent of international
law. They were journeying from a neu-
tral port to an unblockaded port and thus
journeying were entitled to the protec-
tion afforded by the laws of nations gov-
erning civilized warfare.
The Lusitania as a ship was fair prey
for the German navy. It had the right
to capture her if possible. It did not
however have the right to sink her until
every non-combatant had been removed
and until the safety of every life had
been assured.
The submarine blockade is nothing in
international law. It is simply an an-
nouncement by tl)e German war office
of an intent to kill whoever approaches
certain parts of the high seas that neutral
nations have every right to use and
which Germany has no right to forbid
their using.
It has been claimed in extenuation of I
; the attack upon the Lusitania that warn-
ing was given. Announcement of an in-
i’ tention to commit crime never excuses
: the crime itself.
Many newspapers of the United States
—which are a unit in denouncing the
: sinking of the Lusitania as unjustifiable
i from any point of view—have denounced
the act as one of piracy. It would have
: been piracy had not the officers of the
- submarine been acting under the orders
= of an organized government which has
= formally endorsed their conduct and
thereby converted the responsibility from
* an individual into a national affair. In
its essence however the deed remains
the same. It is that of an outlaw and
Germany will have no right to complain
if the peoples of the world so consider
and so declare.

CONTRADICTING LLOYD-GEORGE.
When Chancellor Lloyd-George made
his now famous charge that drink is the
worst enemy Great Britain has to face
basing this remark on the ground that on
account of liquor the workmen in muni-
tion factories and shipyards were not
turning out the quantity and quality of
product that the government had a right
' to expect he started more than he in-
tended to.
’ The labor party in England is neither
( small nor weak and its members became
very indignant at what they regarded as
a reflection on working men as a class.
The chancellor may have expected this
outburst but he must have been surprised
1 when some of the biggest employers of
| labor in the United Kingdom added their
voices to the protest.
J A manufacturer of armor plate and
shells in Sheffield—one of the large estab-
lishments of the kingdom—is quoted as
calling attention to the fact that when
the war broke out and the army reser-
vists were ordered to the colors his plant
was thereby deprived of the services of
450 workmen. These men he says were
the very core of his expert working
force. It has been necessary since they
joined their regiments to teach the busi-
ness to new' men w’ho have come in to
fill their places and the result is that it
has not yet been able to get up to its
old-time rate of production.
' This manufacturer seems to have put
his finger upon a mistaken policy on the
part of his government when he says that
he has called the attention of the au-
thorities to this condition in his w’orks and
has asked that the skilled workmen who
w'ent with the reserves should be dis-
charged from the service and returned
to him but that this has been done in
only a few cases. There can be no ques-
tion that experienced ammunition makers
would be of more value to England at
work in the shell factories than killing
and getting killed in the trenches.
The British government has followed
the policy it seems of discouraging en-
listment from the ranks of such workmen
as these recommending that they remain
at their trades and even giving them a
distinctive badge to wear so that every-
one who meets them may know at sight
that they are doing their share of war
duty at home. But this policy has not
been extended to sending back from the
firing line the mechanics who were called
out with the reserves and who are need-
ed in the factories.
The impression is that Germany with
far-sighted efficiency and preparation has
arranged these things much better. It is
said the necessary number of men needed
for munition factories and other similar
industries were from the beginning placed
at work there. Germany had planned
this department of a war as skilfully^as
she seems to have planned every other.
Great Britain and the other allied powers
are having to leatn by experience what
Germany had foreseen and prepared for
in advance.
RIGHT AND WRONG.
President Wilson has said that his re-
marks at Philadelphia are not to be taken
as an indication of the policy he intends
to pursue in relation to the taking of
American lives in the sinking of the
Lusitania. It is well that he has so de-
clared for a policy shaped upon such
glittering generalities would be far from
pleasant to the American people. Among
other things the president said:
The example of America must be the
example not merely of peace because It
will not fight but of peace because peace
Is the healing and elevating Influence of
the world and strife Is not.
Why must the example of America be
a special example? The people of this I
country have no desire to shirk their
moral responsibilities but* it is impossible
to see where our duties in this direction
are greater than those of any other na-
tion. We are not especially charged with
the elevation or the salvation of the
human race. There is no especial demand
upon us to sacrifice our national rights
and self respect that others may profit
thereby. It is on the contrary our
paramount duty to make it understood
that we propose to maintain our rights
no matter by whom they are attacked.
The nation which does not uphold its
own rights will cut a sorry figure when
it attempts to secure the rights of others.
The nation that cannot protect itself can
protect nobody. The nation that cannot
make itself heeded when it speaks for it-
self will not be heard when it speaks
for another.
The president further said:
There is such a thing ns a man being
too proud to fight. There is such a thing
as a nation being so right that it doe* not
need to convince others by fore* that it
Is right.
Of a certainty there is such a thing
as a man or a nation being too proud
to fight but there is an old proverb that
has been proved many a time which says
‘Pride goeth before a fall.” If a man or
a nation is too proud to fight it must
make it perfectly clear to all the world
the reason why the fight is not under-
taken. There is always danger that the
other party to the controversy may mis-
take the pride for cowardice. In that
j event the fight is sure pride or no pride.
| When the president says: “There is
such a thing as a nation being so right
^hat it does not need to convince others
by force that it is right” he is uttering
a platitude that means nothing. The
necessity for convincing others does not
depend upon the nation that is right but
j upon the willingness of the other party to
be convinced. The president seemingly
overlooks the oft-demonstrated fact that
evil doers will calmly persist in their
ways irrespective of the right and wrong
of the proposition involved. In such a
case is the righteous man to suffer him-
self to be despoiled because he is right
and the despoiler is wrong and content
himself with the knowledge ot his own
virtue? Is the man who is assaulted by
a footpad or whose home is entered by
a burglar to abstain from self-protection
because he is right and the criminals are
wrong?
There are no degrees of right and
wrong. The line of cleavage is distinct
and clear and thert is no middle ground.
Righteousness will never prevail in this
or any other world if it contents itself
with merely ah announcement of virtue.
Like all other things it must prove its
right to survive >if it is to accomplish
anything of good on earth.
WHEN AGE CANNOT WITHER.
Mrs. Emily Mayhew Osborne of New
York City reached her hundredth birthday
a fortnight ago. She wears glasses but
"only to rest her eyes” she says. She is
so active physically that at her birthday
party she did a few dancing steps —just
a few not enough to get her out of
breath —after which her grandchildren and
great-grandchildren tangoed about the
rooms in order to say that they had
danced with grandmamma when she was
a hundred years old.
All very old people have some reason
of their own to account for their longevity
and most of the reasons are different from
all the others. Mrs. Mayhew says she
has lived to enjoy vigorous old age “be-
cause of the clean moral life of my fore-
fathers.”
The advanced age of this woman con-
fuses those who think that only in the
country are conditions such as to make
for long life because Mrs. Mayhew went to
live in New York City seventy-nine years
ago when she was twenty-one. Broad-
way was a cattle path then and Four-
teenth street a little lane ’way up-town.
Above Fourteenth street there was not
much of anything but farms and pasture
land.
Ever since that time she has lived in
the metropolis which would seem to
show that healthy old age may be at-
tained as well amidst the noise and bustle
of a great city as out in the fresh air of
the broad spaces.
While we are reading about Mrs. May-
hew the cable informs us that Madame
Sarah Bernhardt has made arrangements
for an American tour next fall.
Bernhardt has passed the seventieth
milestone in life’s journey. At an age
when most women would be admitting
themselves aged and settling themselves
to rest for the remainder of their lives
she has just passed cheerfully through
a surgical operation by which she has
suffered the loss of a leg. No sooner is
she well on the road to recovery than
she announces that she will soon resume
her work.
The great actress who plans to continue
her career at an age and under a handi-
cap that well might excuse her from
further activity and the New York cen-
tenarian who dances a few steps at her
birthday party are exceptions to the rule j
of course but they surely should give
encouragement to the well-preserved
middle-aged people of seventy or eighty
who are wondering whether or not they
oughtn’t to begin to admit that they are
getting old.

Education and Race Suicide.
That the old American stock is dying out in
this country and particularly 1n the United
States and that the fault lies partly with the
colleges for women is the conclusion reached
by Professor Sprague a New England professor
of economics and sociology who has recently
contributed a paper on the subject to the Jour-
nal of Heredity. the organ of the American
Genetic Association which is composed largely
of scientists connected with the federa’- depart-
ment. Professor Sprague says that the birth
rate among native Americans has fallen too low.
He says that in order to keep up the stock the
birth rate should be-at least three for every
married woman. He says that the average
birth rate among native American married
women is below this and that women who have
college educations are by far the worst offend-
ers.—Beaumont Enterprise.

A “Business Freedom."
One of the best authorities on finance de-
clares that the European war means the eman-
cipation of the United States from the domina-
tion of English capital. The export trade of
this country has reached the greatest figures in
its history and will continue not only throughout
the war. but for months and possibly years after-
ward. In other words we are selling more com-
modities than ever before to Europe and buying
less. It is a one-sided game 1n which the score
is chalked up on the side of the United States.
Deplorable as may be the world tragedy staged
across the waters if 1t means that the golden
shackles of Europe are to be struck from the
hands of commerce of this country we may
mourn but not as one without grain of com-
fort. —Denison Herald.

The Great Lesson.
Textile manufacturers claim that if there is
no relaxation of blockade conditions the scarcity
of German dyestuffs will force hundreds of
American mills to close down. The principal
dyestuffs used In the manufacture of cloth are
derived from coal tar and coal tar is abundant
in the United States. Have our chemists not
enough ingenuity enough aggressive commer-
cial Instinct to meet their emergency and to for-
ever declare their industrial independence? It
would seem that there are many opportunities
for the creation of new industries and the time
is certainly propitious for their creation. If this
hideous war condition fails to make us self-
supporting. it falls in its one chance of service.

English Women Are Ready.
Thirty-three thousand women of England
have volunteered for war and a committee has
been appointed by the British government to
organize the resources of the empire for pur-
i poses of warfare. Thus England is obviously
fully alive to the magnitude of the task ahead
of her. and the entire capacity of the empire will
be utilized in sustaining its position. Al] willing
eligible* have entered the army dee’eres a re-
cruiting officer and conscription may be invoked
within the year especially if the contemplated
advance does not secure anticipated results.—

At her new home she bore herself
regally as she met the servants and
was Introduced to Dr. Holland the
young man who was In constant at-
tendance on her husband. As his
hand touched hers she felt an In-
stant unexplained sympathy for him.
Week trod upon the heels of week
until Selma became conscious that
she was keeping track of time was
counting days; that Time Instead of
being a space wherein to enjoy one-
self was something dreary and mon-
otonous something that stretched al-
ways just ahead of her. She knew
in her heart yet would not admit to
herself that Time could never begin
tor her until she was treed from
David Dwight
Came the fear that something of
this thought might be apparent to
the man. And so by look word and
act she strove the more zealously to
deceive him. The very unremitting
vigilance the constant deception oc-
cupying her entire time became to
her a loathing which naturally in
time extended itself to him.
It was the third month that she
came upon him in the library came
upon him and paused swiftly to re-
treat If her entrance had not been
observed. She caught the rustle of
skirts and looking up saw Mrs.
Pressley and Dr. Holland In a cor-
ner of the room. The expression
upon the companion's face was pe-
culiarly accusing and yet triumphant
while that upon the countenance of
Dr. Holland as their eyes met was
half-pity half—she trembled violent-
ly as she tried to analyze exactly
what the remainder of that expres-
sion told.
Though she had fought bitterly
against It there was something so
virile so young so intrepid about
the man's fight that she had admired
him even though she knew the thing
he fought for made him the bitterest
enemy she could have owned. This
admiration she knew was more than
reciprocated. Not that by the slight-
est look or gesture was it ever in-
dicated. Quite the contrary. With
her woman's Intuition she read aright
the fact that his very avoidance of
her spelt fear of the attraction he
felt.
Dwight turned in his chair and she
moved toward him. There was the
light of a great happiness In his eyes
an expression which seemed to glori-
fy the man. There was something so
tremendously splendid about her
husband and something so delicately
fine and sensitive that seemed con-
tinually asserting Itself in his face
causing such hot self-recrimination
to arise within herself that she hated
him for the torture he innocently
caused. . ।
There was something electrical In ।
the very air of the room something
that caused her to be afraid. Dwight
took her hand resting it upon his i
chest fondling it tenderly. The
physician and Mrs. Pressley moved
softly from the room. She looked at
the millionaire’s face more Intently i
her heart fluttering as she saw some
great change there. She could not
analyze It. could not say exactly what
it was that It consummated some-
thing that had been In process for a
long time but which had been so
gradual as to almost entirely escape
her notice. And now with a great
nave of self-hatred at the criminality
of the thought she read it for what
It was. <
David Dwight her husband this <
man to whom she was bound for life
was a well man. David Dwight had i
regained his health. That life which
tor so long a time had been aflutter I
was now fixed and rigidly In place.
Even as he drew her soft cheek to I
tils own. kissing her softly tenderly ।
she felt herself go cold. She knew i
lie was about to speak about to tell
tier of the miracle and felt that she
could stand no more now. She was
stifling. She must get away before
she betrayed herself.
Muttering an excuse she lunged
blindly up the stairs to her own 1
room Still no relief. The very house <
ind everything In It was depressing.
The very echoes of Its habitation >
thundered the sentence in her ears.

house staring sightlessly before her
fighting desperately.
She looked up quickly at slow foot-
steps her eyes lighting as Dr. Hol-
land strolled down the walk a book
in his hand. For just a second she
thought him about to pass on. after
bowing to her then with a little
shrug he seated himself beside her.
She did not wish him there and still
she was glad of his presence. She
could not understand the conflict of
absolutely antithetical emotions the
man stirred up within her. She was
unpleasantly conscious that some-
thing of her own feeMngs had been
transmitted to him. else why had he
so patiently changed his mind when
he seated himself?
She flushed at the thought yet
could not down it any more than she
had been able to combat the innum-
erable thoughts of him that occupied
her mind. She opened her lips as
though to speak closing theip quick-
ly embarrassed at the Inanity of the
words she was about to say. Look-
ing furtively at his troubled face she
could see he was In no mood for
chatter on trivialities.
In the flurry of the moment she
reached out to -take the book from
his hands. It rested beside her but
her nerves seemed stunned anesthet-
iz'd Something had seemed to
break within the very soul of her at
the contact of his fingers. She could
not move from that magnetic touch.

INDOOR SPORTS
Copyright 1915. Internationa! Newsservice
By Mary Clare
AT a fashionable after-
noon tea a number of
smart women wore gowns
of silk in novelty stripes
and figures. Pussy willow
taffeta and satin were evi-
dent. Often a plain or
striped taffeta was
combined with georgette
crepe of the same shade.
Faille Classiqut combined
with satin was also a not-
able combination.
A charming young wom-
an wore an afternoon gown
of broprn and white striped
taffeta. So quaint and
youthful was the general
line of her gown that she
might easily be mistaken for
a school girl. The very short
full skirt was accountable
for this youthful effect.
Bouffant draperies in the
i skirt gave a quaint sugges-
tion and the combined
color effect of the chiffon
girdle added a novel note.
The bodice in surplice ef-
fect was very interesting
with its button cluster trim-
mings velvet girdle and
full puffy sleeves. The
cuffs were notable features
being snugly fitted and
faced with cream satin.
Again the button clusters
served as a trimming and
added a bright (ouch. Folds
of the georgette crepe fin-
ished the front of the bod-
ice.
The loose full sleeve had
a flesh-colored lining giving
more body to the material.
The bodice of this gown
was becoming to most any
figure. The skirt was a
little extreme for the aver-
age person but it could
have been modified.
to the! prayer of half a million Cal-
ifornia school children who for-
warded a petition two years ago to
which two miles of juvenile signa-
tures were attached.
Since the recasting of 1753 the
bell has been outside of the old State
House at Philadelphia seven times.
On a September day in 1777 it was
removed to Allentown Penn. to pre-
vent Its falling into the hands of the
British.
All of the other trips were for
show purposes.
In 1885 the bell was hauled with
much care to the World's Industrial
Exhibition at New Orleans and the
ovation it received there so im-
। pressed the whole nation that there-
after attempts to secure it for pub-
lic display became very numerous.
It was at the Columbian Exposi-
tion in Chicago 1893; the Cotton
States Exposition in Atlanta 1895;
the South Carolina Interstate and
West Indian Exposition in Charles-
ton 1902; the celebration of the
128th anniversary of the Battle of I
Bunker Hill in Boston 1908 and
the World’s Exposition in St. Louis
Commemorating the Louisiana Pur-
chase 1904.
The old bell was cracked many
years ago while tolling during the
funeral of John Marshall Chief Jus- i
tice of the Supreme Court who was
called the Father of the Constitu-!
tlon.
Therefore It cannot speak to the i
ear in 1915 on the way across the
continent and back. But it can ap-j
peal to the eye and thus proclaim— ■
“Liberty Throughout All the Land I
Unto All the Inhabitants Thereof.”
"I understand.” said a visitor from
Philadelphia to a friend In Boston "tKat
you have so high an opinion of your city j
that you think heaven must be like Bos-
ton."

the shoulders. "I believe I did ssy so some I
time ago. but you know Boston has Im- [
proved a great deal In the last tew years.” |

Sleepy-Time Tales
x For the Little Folk
ADA HELPS CLEAN HOUSE.
Onee upon a time Ada went to
spend a week with her grandmother.
Grandmother lived In the country In
a big old-fashioned house that she
had lived In ever since she was mar-
ried Ada’s mother was born In this
house and each time when Ada visit-
ed her grandmother she would give
Ada some play thing that was her
mother’s when she was a little girl.
One morning Ada woke and found
that it was raining very hard. When
her grandmother came to her room
to kiss her good morning and tell her
it was time to get up Ada said; “Oh
grandmother It Is raining bo hard I
shall have to stay In the house to-
day” and her grandmother said:
“Yes It Is raining cats and dogs and
It is a good day to clean the attic.
Would you like to help me?”
Ada thought that would be fine so
after breakfast they both started for
the attic. Grandmother had given
Ada a little pail filled with warm
water a tiny piece of soap and some
clean cloths all of her own. When
they reached the attic grandmother
began to look over the contents of
an old trunk and Ada asked what
she could do to help. Grandmother
told her she should wash the window
and showed her a small window that
had tiny panes of glass and was very
near the attic floor. Ada set to work
and very carefully washed the win-
dow just as she had seen grandmoth-
er's hired girl do.
When this was done grandmother
pulled out a small old-fashioned
hair trunk and told Ada she could
see what was in it. When Ada opened
it she found It was Ailed with all
sorts of things. In one corner was a
roll of brightj colored silk pieces
which grandmother told her she
could have to make a patchwork silk
quilt for her dolls. In another cor.
ner was a large wax doll that grand-
mother said had belonged to Ada's
mother and. if she wanted she oould
call it her own.
Ada was so pleased with the doll
that she sat in a little old fashioned
rocking chair and sang to her new
pet until she went sound asleep. Ada
itold her grandmother she wanted to
I take the doll downstairs and lay her
on her own little bed. Grandmother
[told her that she could and that she
would be down herself in a short
time and when grandmother did
come down she found Ada and her
new doll both fast asleep on her own
little bed.
