It does not iire a great stretch of imagination njure up a mental picture of the rful spectacle the battle must been. * great, unwieldly Zeppelin, armed ten times the destruction possible airship, appearjsg over the lines, hovering = above the thelr enemy, is beset suddenly with a number of flylng machines, quick and elusive, but.less destructive. The rip ot the rapid firers’ from the Zeppelin announce' that the tormentors have heen discovered and are being shot at. The British airmen also open fire and thie land guns add their noise to the uproar. Shrapnel bursts in the air around the machines. For the time being the men in the trenches forget their duty, and that they are there to kill, to watch the spectacular duel. Suddenly the big machine settles, buut‘g into flames and descends with a crash. The tormentors- disperse. With a chcer to announce and ap- plaud the victory the soldiers go back to their rifles and agam take up the daily routine of death and torture. The spectacular cavalry charges and hand to hand fights of old may be dis- carded but for pure sensationalism it i doubtful if anything of the past will anywhere near rival the fights of the air, described with * such few words by the censors. The note to Germany is ready for transmission, or has been transmitted. ‘What will the answer be? Turks say the allies have been de- feated on the Gallipoli peninsula. Not finally, but just a little setback. They are getting the idea. London dehies it, we suppose. Suggestion to news- papers. Get a German and an anfi and let them argue. Hence the news. . Let’s see, were there any raids on the English coast by Zeppelins yes- terday? Not yet reported. There ‘Wwere some Saturday, however. ) Russians say the town of Libau was not fortified and was ‘pot of much use for transporting soldiers. They claim they only held on to it until their soldiers were out of the way. Also say the Germans expected to get a large amount of military supplies ifrom the captured town, and advance as proof the fact that tne Germans brought in large numpoers of freight toats to carry away the spoils of war. All of which is by way of having a lit- tle joke on the Germans, we guess. Rather a costly: joke, but the element of humor may yet prove to be a sav- ing grace. A Rebels seem to be jumping into the fray in fine stvle inm MeXico. They figure it out-That possession of Mexico City will' mean recognition for the posYessoT. The starving people are being: fed. As long as they get plenty that “lets us out.” Note: ' Item number three is dis- qualified. We just received a story giving a description of another raid on Emngland. Germans took 7,000 prisoners when they captured Przemysl. Set 'em up in the other alley. Wall Street and the War. (New York Worid.) “The moneyed interests of this country,” says the Federated Labor Union manifesto to workingmen, ‘led | by unscrupulous Wall Street sharks, speculators, gamblers and adventur- ers, are scheming, conspiring and using every effort to get the United States embroiled in the terrible blood- lefting of Europe.” This will be news to the speculators, gamblers and adventur- ers.” They had supposed that Wall Street was the least warlike corner of the -country. Wall street, in fact, has had énough war. The stick exchange attempt to keep open nhardly lasted until war was declared. Savings hanks as early as August 3 were or- dered to demand sixty days' notice of withdrawals. Clearing nouse certifi- cates were voted the same day. Thousands of employes were' soon thrown out of work. Offices were given up to save rent. Seats were unsalable. There was no. moratorium, but a tacit understanding prevented pressure. 3 Wall street stayed asleep four months. It rubbed its eves November 28, when the Exchange was open two hours for the restricted sate of bonds. It yawned and stretched two weeks luter, when restricted stock dealings were also allowed. It reatly woke up in January, after the worst five months of its history, during which substantial fortunes had melted like snow in April. . 4 ‘Wall Street doesn’t mina a little war —say in the Balkans—that makes trading lively. It no more desires a great world war than does any other of the thousands of thoroughfares which this “terrible blood-letting’” has turned into streets of surrow. Least of all. is Wall Street.anxious to see us plunged into the conflict. ‘“‘sharks, Pierson’s Accidents. (Stamford Advocate.) State Senator Plerson, of Bristol, has been in a number of automobile accidents. Two years ago his car fi- gured in a fatality in Middletown, but he was absolved of criminal lability. He is now in another which he is not coming out of so comfortably. C'oronor Mix of New Haven, finds him criminally responsible for the death | of a little boy in North Haven, May 25. The senator, it is said, had in the car with him a grass widow from | Hartford, The coroner says so at any rate. But that's not the point. The | point is that our state law maker .is ! officially found to have been guilty | of erimina] carlessness which caused the death of a three-year-old child, ady to discharge its deadly the intended victims, < by orders of a su- and measureless mental agony in- ficted upon its parents. Poor busi- ness for a law maker—or for any- body, PR TN < FACYS AND FANCIES, For the jmoment the world's gaze was distracted from the Dardanelles, but there awe being fought' battles which will read like a Lew Wallace “Prince of Indi: when the war is over. The fartifications of the Dar- danelles, supposed to have been next to Gibraltar in strength, have for centuries formed the sharp dividing line between the decaying civilization of the eastiand the developing civi- lizatian of the west. The time is not to be fixed with mathematical pre- cision when the fleets of the allies will lie undpr the walls of Constanti- nople and their flags float from its parapets; but as the sentinels of the Dardanelles vanish, the Star beside the Crescent turns very dim. The Bat- tle of the Bosphorus will laom large in - history.—Syracuse Journal. In sinking the Lusitania, an un- armed merchant vessel on which American cizitens were traveling, with- out search or visitation, and without giving the crew. and passengers an op- portunity to save their lives, Germany violated evéry principle of interna- tional law. ' The fact that Americans lost their lives because of this failure to obey thg laws recognized by all civilized nations is the sole reason why the président has called Grmany to account. He is not concerned in the least with the outcome of the Eu. ropean war or the possible effect that American intervention. might have on the belligerents, on either side.— Brooklyn Citizen. A news dispatch from Baltimore re- lates that a prominent business man of that city, who pleaded guilty to an indictment for manslaughter for killing a wdman with his automobile, has just begn sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. It would be an excellent scheme to adopt the Mary- land method of handling automobile killings here. Karl Bitter's slayer has not -beén sent to jail So far as the Tribune knows, not one of the. drivers cancerned in the thirty auto- mobile killings last month has been indicted, though it seems incredible that in every case the victim was at fault.—New York Tribune. Germany 'does not want war with the United §tates. Germany does not want a severance of her existing re- lations with,the United States. For this government to do no more than to recall its representatives from Ger- many and adk Germany to recall hers from the United States would be a heavy blow to Berlin at a time when its circumstances are already desper- ate. This would thrust Germany outside the circle of all the great powers, leaving her salitary and for- lorn, It would make Germany lit- terally as well as figuratively the world’s outcast.—New Yorlkz Press When the census man calls at your door and pyts manifold questions tc White Dresses for and June Weddings CHILDREN’S WHITE DRESSES Priced 98c to $4.98 each. 6 to 14 year old sizes.

The Conte‘derme Veterans had no end of a gobd time at their twenty- fifth annualjreunion in Richmond, Va. More ythan 6,000 were present or accounted for, and they paraded through the! streets under the Stars and Stripes to the tune of “The Star Spangled Banner,” “Dixie” and other stirring airs; and indulged in cheers for the old: flag and gave vent to the ‘“rebel gell” with equal enthu- siasm.

STREET 25¢ disparagingly of the submarine, and it has been explained by students of the German navy that his motive was to "keep the interest of the country centered on battleships—the less ex- pensive adjuncts could be added later. Something of this feeling 1s natural in | every navy, and early in the war re- | ports were sent out from Washington evidently for the express purpose of warning the public that’ the sub- marine had not yet displaced the battle fleet. For the taxpayer to be interested in cheap substitutes is as natural as for the navalist to be anvious about the things which cost most and which suffer most from re- trenchment. = Mahan’s view has been kept paramount, that the main husi- ness of a fighting fleet is to fight, and that speéd should be subordinated to | striking strength. It is a theory which contemplates superiority of strength, and therefore eommits a .nation most deeply to naval compe- tition, but it has been the ‘theory on which the fleet has been built up, and it should be held in great measure re- sponsible for the deficiences of which 4dmiral Fiske speaks. It was the theory, moreover, of naval experts; the man in the street would have been much more likely to favor fast ships which could at least get away, even | if confronted by a superior force. The | war has put new empnasis on speed | and demonstrated the value of sub- marines, but these are just the lessons which the public does not need to be taught. if a reform is needed it is within the navy itself, Graduation | White | f§ at $12.98, $15.00, $17.00 each. | “A Pfedomi'nant Feature of OQur June Home-Furnishing Sale.
