WILSON EMPHATIC
TO THEGERMANS
President Decides To Inform Germany
That United States Will Back
Up Demands
BRIEF NOTE JS_DISPATCHED
The Chief Executive Will Not Hold
Lengthy Discussion Over The
Lusitania Incident
Washington.—President Wilson in¬
tends to shape the course of the Unit¬
ed States in the international crisis
which has arisen so as to leave no
doubt abroad of the country’s pur¬
pose not only to speak, but, if neces¬
sary, to act, for the cause of human¬
ity.
Germany’s avoidance of the larger
questions of humanity and the spirit
of international law by a technical ar¬
gument on a hitherto undisputed point
in the statutes of nations—the exer¬
cise of the right of visit and search
by war craft when encountering mer¬
chantmen, whether carrying contra¬
band or not—must be met promptly
with a note again setting forth brief¬
ly the facts as found by investigation
of officials here as to the cargo and
peaceful equipment of the Lusitania,
and reiterating the earnest intention
of the United States to hold the Ger¬
man government to a “strict account¬
ability” for all violations of American
rights on the high seas.
GERMANS ADMIT MISTAKE
Imperial Admiralty Notifies Ambassa¬
dor Gerard That Gulflight Was
Torpedoed By Mistake
Washington.—Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin has been formally notified
that the American steamer Gulflight
was torpedoed through mistake. The
German submarine commander report¬
ed that he failed to notice the Gulf
light’s American flag and took her
for a British vessel. The state de¬
partment’s announcement says:
“The American ambassador at Ber¬
lin reports that the chief of the ad¬
miralty staff, Admiral Behnke, has in¬
formed him that the commander of
the submarine which torpedoed the
Gulflight did so through mistake, be¬
cause two boats, similar to trawlers,
were apparently convoying the Gulf¬
light. The commander therefore
thought it a British boat and did not
notice the American flag on the stern
until just after giving the order to
fire.”
The Gulflight was attacked in the
English channel on May 1, while car¬
rying oil from Port Arthur, Texas, to
Rouen, France. Two members of the
crew were drowned while taking to
the boats and the captain died from
heart failure brought on by his ex¬
perience. The steamer's bulkheads
prevented her from sinking and she
towed Ijo Crow sound and beaeh*
ed for repairs.
PRESIDENT SPOKE
Woodrow Wilson Addressed Soldiers
And Sailors In Great Speech At
Arlington Memorial Day
Washington.—Eulogies of America’s
and sailor dead were voiced
here by President Wilson, Secretary
Bryan, Secretary Daniels and Govern¬
or Willis of Ohio at Memorial Day ex¬
ercises at Arlington National ceme¬
tery. Large crowds seized on every
opportunity to show that the pres¬
ent international situation was up¬
permost in their minds.
President Wilson cheered on his ar¬
and departure and during his ad¬
dress carefully avoided any direct ref¬
erence to problems facing the United
States. He was enthusiastically ap¬
plauded when he declared that “great¬
er days lie'before this nation than it
ever yet has seen, and the solemn con¬
sciousness of those who bear office in
this time is that they must make their
best endeavor to embody in what they
do and say the best things in the
United States.”
The president sat in the midst of
veterans of two wars during the ex¬
ercises and uttered an audible “amen”
at the conclusion of an invocation b/
Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington,
who prayed that the United States
might be led aright in the present
crisis.
Wilson Decorates Graves
Washington.—President Wilson sent
flower wreaths to the graves of George
Washington, Ulysses S. Grant, Wil¬
liam Henry Harrison, William Mc¬
Kinley and several other former pres¬
idents, and to the grave of Gen. Jo¬
seph Wheeler, the Confederate and
Spanish war leader. The grave at Ar¬
lington containing many unknown
Civil war dead was singled out by
President Woodrow Wilson for an es¬
pecially large wreath. The president
was applauded by the large concourse
of people.
Indicted For Election Frauds
Raleigh, N. C.—Two election officers
and a deputy United States marshal
were indicted by the grand jury here
on charges of irregularity at the re¬
cent city election. The men indicted
are Nicholas DeBoy and W. E. Smith,
who were officials at the polls, and
John Sturdevant, a deputy United
States marshal. The judge, in charg¬
ing the grand jury, instructed them
to investigate the conditions in the
cotton mills of the state. There have
been a number of complaints that the
child labor law is being violated.
Attacks On Japanese Ministry
Tokyo.—The Chinese crisis has
been followed by serious internal polit¬
ical dissensions in Japan. Nightly
meetings are being arranged by the
opposition to incite the public against
the ministry. One held was broken
up by students from Waseda univer¬
sity, of which Foreign Minister Oku
ma was president. Attacks upon the
ministry continue in the diet, the ses¬
sions of which are attended by large
crowds, including many women, who
are conducting a femininist propa
ganda.

Terre Hill, Pa.—“Kindly permit me
to give you my testimonial in favor of
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com¬
pound. When I first
began taking it I
was suffering from
female troubles for
some time and had
almost all kinds of
aches—pains in low¬
er part of back and
in sides, and press¬
ing down pains. I
could not sleep and
had no appetite. Since I have taken
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com¬
pound the aches and pains are all gon&
and I feel like a new woman. I cannot
praise your medicine too highly. ”—Mrs.
Augustus Lyon, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and a woman’s
work nas produced the grandest remedy
for woman’s ills that the world has
ever known. Prom the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
a remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever com¬
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound is recognized
from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman’s ills.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass., are files containing hundreds of
thousands of letters from women seek¬
ing health—many of them openly state
over their own signatures that they have
regained their health by taking Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound;
and in some cases that it has saved them
from surgical operations.

INTOMTIONAL
Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. SELLERS. Acting Acting Director D of
Suhday School Course of Moody Bible
Institute, Chicago.)
LESSQN FOR JUNE 6
NATHAN REBUKES DAVID.
LESSON TEXT—II Samuel 11:22-12:7a.
GOLDEN Te-v'T - * K me a clean
heart O Go*.'—PsalmTh 10 .
This is a lesson that demands great
care in its presentation apd treatment,
which will differ widely according to
age. For the younger the briefest sort
of statement that David fell in love
with Uriah's wife and to obtain her
had her husband killed will be suffi¬
cient. With sudh, throw the emphasis
upon the danger of harboring evil
thoughts and the need of heart purity
(see Golden Text).
With adults, 'however, some time
may be dfevoted to the social evil
which is such a menace to every na¬
tion, care Ijei^g/fa&en lest the discus¬
sion become morbid, or that we neglect
to emphasize the fact that the cure
is not in regulation or reformation but
in the regeneration of the human
heart.
I. David’s Many Good Deeds, II
Samuel, 7 and 9. As a background
for his mo9t. repulsive sin David had a
long list of excellent deeds. His de¬
sire for a betferS&idlng place for the
ark was not according to God’s will
for two reasons; first, that an ornate
house might easily corrupt, through
idolatry, the sRistuality of the Hebrew
religion; second. David v/as a man of
war and therefojw? not qualified for
temple building. Though denied, David
did not despair, but at once provided
that his successor carry out his desire.
Again, David's treatment of Mephibo
sheth, Jonathan’s son, iu accordance
with the covenant made between those
two men, is an inspiring episode and
one of great spiritual suggestiveness;
it has furnished .material for countless
sermons.
II. David’s One Great Sin, II Sam¬
uel, 11:6. David’s victories over his
enemies are dismissed in a few
verses, yet his sMi is set forth in de¬
tail—another evidence of the divine
origin and inspiration ef the Bibio.
David had followed the example of
neighboring kings and taken to him¬
self many wive* evidently regarding
his fancy as supffme and himself as
above the law. David wa»s “off guard”
in the matter of temptation, a danger¬
ous positiou for All, both soldier and
civilian. David had had too long and
too great a period^of success and pros¬
perity after his long period of priva¬
tion, and this led to carelessness and
pride. David was “off duty,” indulg¬
ing in ease while Joab did his fighting.
As a result he became an adulterer
and a murderer, aid the record in no
wgy seeks 4(0 A «u ilt, ^From
ail this the record brings to us many
important lessons. Outwardly pros¬
perous and his army successful, Da¬
vid must have felt in his heart the
spiritual blight in the words, “but the
thing was evil in the eyes of the
Lord” (v. 27 R. V.); no psalm writ¬
ing then.
III. Nathan’s Parable, II. Samuel,
12:1-7. It is au evidence of God’s
grace that he sent his servant to re¬
buke and restore this “man after his
own heart.” Such is his mercy, for
he does not will that any should per¬
ish but that all might come to the
knowledge of forgiveness (Ezekiel
33.11; Matthew 23:37). No parable
ever had its desired effect .more quick¬
ly than this one. It brought conviction
and repentance (v. 13) and led to the
writing of the fifty-first psalm. It was
a delicate task set before Nathan thus
to rebuke the king, yet it reveals the
essential nobleness of David in that
he did not become angry. Nathan’s
task and his wisdom are revealed in
his approach and in the way he led
David to condeihn, unwittingly, his
own course of action. This was bet¬
ter than to begin by upbraiding and
denunciation. Verse two suggests, in
ferentially, God’s great goodness to
David, which made the offense one of
gross ingratitude. The picture of the
rich man selfishl, sparing his own and
seizing the poor man’s treasure—his
all, which lay on his bosom, drank
from his cup and was as a child, ex¬
hibits the worst sort of scoundrel.
No wonder David grew indignant
(Romans 2:1) and declared that such
a man “is worthy to die” (v. 6 R. V.).
IV. Thou Art tha Man”— v. 7a. Thus
far the story is one all too common,
then and now, of the strong crushing
the weak and glorying in their selfish¬
ness. What fellows is the evidence
of God's response to man’s repentance,
the parallel to which has nowhere else
been found in the ancient world. The
glory of it is that David heard and
heeded God’s messenger. The whole
sordid story with its resultant action
on David’s part brings us many price¬
less lessons. (1) That man who had
lived a life of faith and communion
fell most miserably when he neglected
his duty and took his eyes off God.
There is a grave danger ahead of the
man who begins to trifle with sin (I
Cor. 10:12). (2) Though a man fall
(the godly man) yet he is not utterly
cast down. There is pardon for the
vilest sinner and the most abject
backslider. David’s murderous hands
and sin-stained soul found pardon
(Ps. 32 and 51). (3) A man's sins,
though he may find pardon, will cloud
all of his future.
David felt it in his own life and fam¬
ily; both daughter and sons felt its
blight (see chapter 13), and it brought
forth David’s immortal lament over
Absalom.
David’s trusted friend joined the
son’s rebellion and caused David great
sorrow (see 11:3; 23:34; 15:21 and
Ps. 55:12-14).
David’s hypocrisy Uriah's upon receiving
the news of death deceived no
one and put him into the power of
Joab, who bfecame a curse to him and
whom he constantly feared (I Kings,
2:19-22). -
God sternly judges uncleanness and
adulterers (Heb. 14:4).
fflFULJ DM
Dogs Turned Chums With Death
Ail Around.
Bombardment of Germans Failed to
Swerve Animals From Dally Task
to Which They Had Been
Long Accustomed.
Much that has been written about
the war appeals to lovers of animals,
more especially dogs and horses, and
very intresting indeed is the descrip¬
tion of the work which is still being
carried on by dogs in parts of north¬
ern France, which appeared in a re¬
cent issue of the London Morning
Post. The man who wrote so charm¬
ingly on an example of adherence to
the maxim, “Business as usual," must
be a true lover of the dog, though he
is apparently quite unaware of the
fact that dogs are used for assistance
in the dairy in parts of Wales at the
present day, but only in very remote
districts. Mr. Lloyd Price of Rhiwlas,
near Bala, writing to the Field some
years since, said he had just seen a
batch of butter produced by the in¬
defatigable efforts of a couple of hand¬
some black-and-tan collies. The few
we have seen at the work walk up an
inclined treadmill, with cross laths
for steps, the latter being connected
by a spindle with the churn. Work of
this sort is a great aid toward butter
making. The description of the
process given by the recent visitor
to the war base is very full, and will
be read with interest by most dog
lovers. Outside many cottages in
northern France a wheel, some six
feet in diameter, may be seen fixed
into the wall, the purpose of which
seems rather puzzling, even after one
has seen a lurcherlike dog enter it
and in squirrel fashion set it con¬
tinuously revolving for about an hour.
At the other end of the wheel’s axle,
inside the dwelling room, a churn is
fixed, which is filled with milk every
morning, and always at the same mo¬
ment the dog arrives, steps into the
wheel, causes it to revolve its needful
hour, steps out when the hour Is end¬
ed, and goes his way to play like other
dogs, leaving the family to enjoy the
fruits of his labors when they return
in the evening. A wonderful, though
quite an ordinary, exhibition of in¬
telligence.
“One morning,” continues the writ¬
er, “man began to show his intel¬
ligence by pouring a hail of shells
on the village, stripping the roofs
from the cottages or converting them
into little mounds of ruins. The in¬
habitants fled precipitately, in too
great terror to affix the churns to
the wheels. But that made no odds
to the dogs, nor did they apparent¬
ly consider that the shells concerned
them. Punctually to their hour they
stepped into their wheel and began
to turn them. At a corner of the mar¬
ket place three such wheels were visi
EffC* - k dog ii?8,8 ins each of rthem
when the action was at its height and
the houses were crumbling about the
men who we're endeavoring to defend
them. But the brave dogs went on as
though the hurly-burly were no con¬
cern of theirs. The fragments of a
shell struck one of the wheels and all
but put it out of action, a splinter of
spoke acting as a brake against the
wall. The dog stopped in amazement
at so unexampled a circumstance, and
then seeing the other dogs still at
work, set himself to overcome his
difficulty by a succession of bounds
in making his cargo rotate uncertain¬
ly. A shrapnel bullet hit him while
thus engaged, and he collapsed with¬
out a groan on the floor of his wheel.
A few moments later one of the other
houses was hit and dog and wheel dis¬
appeared under the debris. The third
dog completed his churning, trotted

MIKE AT THE TELEPHONE
Could Hardly Be Called a Success at
the Work to Which He Had
Been Assigned.
Mike had just come over from the
old country to work with his brother,
who was butler in a millionaire’s
home. It was a morning custom for
Mrs. Rich to have several chats with
her friends over the telephone. Some¬
times these talks stretched well into
the forenoon. James, the brother,
was tired of this, and inducted Mike,
the greenhorn, into the work.
The first morning Mike tried his
hand disaster resulted. Mrs. Bucks
called up.
“Answer that,” ordered Jimmy to
Mike. “If it is Mrs. Bucks tell her to
’hold the line.’ ”
Mike took down the receiver and
listened.
“Is Mrs. Rich there?” a voice asked.
No answer from Mike.
“Who is at the phone?” in a mad¬
der tone.
“It’s me, Mike?”
“I want Mrs. Rich—this is Mrs.
Bucks," said the lady in anger.
“All right,” said Mike. “Just hold
the rope.”
Accidental Inventions.
The ancients believed that there
was a certain kind of mineral sub¬
stance in existence by means of which
all the common metals could be turned
into gold. This supposed substance
was called the philosopher’s stone, and
the alchemists of classic times and
during the middle ages spent much
time and labor in search of this won¬
derful substance.
Of course, since nothing of the kind
ever existed, it was never found; but
it is worth remembering that some of
the most notable inventions were dis¬
covered in this wide search. It was in
looking for the philosopher’s stone that
the German chemist, Botticher, stum¬
bled upon the secret of making the
beautiful Dresden porcelain. Roger
Bacon, in the same way, discovered
the composition of gunpowder; Geber
found the properties of acids; Van
Helmon discovered the nature of gas,
and Doctor Glauber found the secret
of making the salts which now bear
his name.
Things Had Changed.
“Squabbling and
another very frequent cause of di¬
vorce,” said Prof. L. Watts Ingersoll,
in an address before the Cleveland
Anti-Divorce lehgke.
“A man had been haled before a
Cleveland magistrate for non-support
or some such fault.
“ ‘But, let me see,’ the justice said,
‘aren’t you the man who was married
in a cage of wild man-eating tigers
and leopards?’
“‘Yes, your honor, I’m the man,’
was the reply. . ,
“‘Exciting, wasn't it?’ said the jus¬
tice.
“ ‘Well, your honor,’ said the maa,
it seemed so then. It wouldn't nj}W.’ ”
^ ple Wisdom know often lot of amounts things that to this: really Pe Peo¬
a are
not worth knowing.
The rule is that the “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin” company gives the best parade
and the poorest show.
How poverty stricken most of oitr
friends are when we happen to need
$5 for a few days!
Unless you have money to burn
don’t try to keep the pot boiling in a
poker game.
Wine and women get credit for mak¬
ing a fool of many a man who was
born that way.

UNLIKE THE WARS OF OLD
Modern Battlefields Present No Pic¬
tures at All Comparable to Those
of the Past.
Every now and then one hears from
a man fresh from the front some little
incident that makes one realize the
horrors of this war more vividly than
does a long article written expressly
for that purpose, says the London
mail.
A young clerk in the employ of a
well-known London business man who
enlisted six or seven months ago got
to the front recently. Within three
weeks he was back in London, badly
wounded in the leg. He was able to
leave the hospital a couple of days
ago and called to see his employer,
who naturally asked him to tell him
what he thought of the war.
“Well, sir,” said the young fellow.
“I only saw about forty yards of it,
and that only for part of a day. The
first and only job I had was to go to
a trench with a party of men. We
took with us a hand donkey engine
and ropes. When we got to the
trench I saw what the donkey en¬
gine was for. The soldiers in that
trench were in thick, gluey mud that
reached Up to their ribs. They were
crying like children and asked us to
shoot them.
“The side of the trench in front of
them was quite smooth owing to their
attempts to scramble out with their
hands, but the mud held them and
they were dying of cold, hunger and
horror. It was only by means of
the donkey engine that we could pull
them out.
“If the Germans in the trench oppo¬
site them had known of the state they
were in they could have walked across
and killed them with walking sticks,
for 1 saw no sign of a rifle among
them. The rifles had sunken the mud.
It was while doing that job I got hit
in the leg, and that’s all 1 have seen
of the war.”

“I would not eat it, my ungel,” he
answers, helping hlmse-V to more,
"were it not that the last time I did so
I dreameU of you.”

When a woman has entertained her
bridge club the excitement in the aver¬

There is a lot of advice, but this is
as good as any: “Try to be the sort
of a man retrenchment doesn’t affect."
