PRESIDENT NUT
SEMI NOTE
WANTS l). OFFICERS PUNISHED
Would Ask Germany If Promised
Chastisement of Submarine Com
manders for Disobedience Has
Been Carried Out.
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—
President Wilson is seriously consid
ering sending a note to Germany re
questing information as to how many
of the commanders of German sub
marines have been punished by 'hat
country for disobedience of orders in
the sinking of unarmed merchant
ships without warning. In the note
recently sent to the United States Ger
many stated that these acts were con
trary to the instructions given to the
submarine commanders and that the
guilty officers would be punished.
So far as can be learned Germany
has taken no steps to carry out the
promised punishment, although it has
given out that new instructions have
been issued to the commanders ie
compliance with the promises made
by Germany regarding the future
conduct of the undersea campaign
AN EXAMPLE OK
WAR'S ATROCITIES
Sam Mandich former leader of the
Servian colony of Gestineau Channel,
and well known to every one, is dead
in Austria. The word of his death
was brought to Juneau by Bosko
Samazich, who just returned from the
Austrian and Servian battle front.
Mr. Samazich says that on Janu
ary 16th, he was in Forlu, Greece,
and word was received there from
the American consul in Austria, that
a batch of 150,000 captured Servians
had. been lined up in front of ma
chine guns and shot down by the
Austrians. The massacred people were
those borne in Austria of Servian par
ents and wefe considered traitors
when they fought with the Servians.
San Mandich was among the martyrs
and now lies in some unmarked grave
along tlie Servian frontier having for
feited his life for his mother coun
try.
Mr. Samazich tells a tale of hor
ror and bloodshed which is unbeliev
able in these supposedly civilized
days. He tells of the capture and
execution of one party of 30.000 sol
diers of the Servian army. The party
was captured early in the ^Sir be
tween Bulgaria and Servia and were
immediately lined up and shot down
with machine guns. They were given
no chance for their life, although
when they surrendered, they thought
they would be treated as prisoners
of war.
He tells of seeing the Austrian soi-'
diers take young Servian girls and
tie them around hay stacks with
thongs, and then set fire to the hay
the girls being burned to death. He
tells of the destruction of a church
in Laiskovac in which were nearly
150 women and children. This church
was captured by the Austrians and
was immediately set on fire, after the
doors had been locked.
Mr. Samazich left Juneau in com
pany with 12 other Servians and
Montenegrins when the war broke
out and of the entire party only two
remain alive. One of the party is
still with the Allies at Saloniki, and
Mr. Samazich has returned to Juneau.

The Dreamer.
The clerk was mixing up some pow
ders' which were prescribed by Dr.
Chowders, for the relief of old Dad
Swankles, who had the gout In both
his ankles. And as the clerk went on
compounding, his thoughts roamed
far from things surrounding. He
thought about the blooming Carrie,
the girl that he intends to marry,
with eyes like stars and hair so curly,
and angel smile and molars pearly.
He thought of presents he would buy
her, when his small salary went high
er. He thought of rivals who were
scheming to end his pleasant hopes
and dreaming. His thought all top
ics wej-e pursuing—except the work
that he was doing.
Old Swankles took the pale white
powders that were prescribed by Dr.
Chowders, and theh he hollered
Bloody Murder, and fcr°ra his cottage
kicked a girder, and then he crawled
beneath the stable and died as fast
us he was able. The absent-minded
clerk had killed him, hnd now a mon
ument we build him.

THE SECREFARY BIRD. j
K Kicks Llk« a Mule and Can 8wallsw
' a 8naks Whcla.
Tbe rnnet and most valuable birds la
tbe New York zoological garden are
tbe strange pair of secretary birds quar
tered in the ostrich bouse. "Secretary
birds” they are called because of tbe
crest of long dark plumes tbat rises
from tbe back of tbelr beads, giving
them tbe appearance of a clerk wltb a
bunch of quill feathers behind his ear.
It’s an aristocratic nnme, but tbe thing
that makes tbe secretary bird valuable
is not bis looks. The natives of South
Africa love him because be can kick
like a mule.
Toss Into bis cage a snake, no matter
bow vicious, and tbe tight begins Im
mediately. The bird cautiously ap
proaches tbe snake with wings wide
spread to escape tbe sudden lunges by
flight if necessary. Once, twice, three
times perhaps tbe snuke lunges. Tbe
bird darts back, waiting bis chance.
At last it conies, and one of those long,
hard legs shoots out like tbe hoof of a
mule, landing squarely on tbe snake's
bead. It reels and falls buck stunned
to be knocked out completely by a sec
ond blow. And then its victor pro
ceeds to swallow It whole.
In South Africa tbe birds are regard
ed as a great protection. They are af
fectionate mates and always travel to
gether. When pursued they spread
their wings and *make off over the
ground with the speed of a running
horse.—Every Week.
INDIAN SUMMER.
_
The Term May Have Had Ite Origin In
the Far East.
Tbe origin of tbe term “Indian Bum
mer,” like that of the word “blizzard."
has been the subject of much research.
It has been traced back only as far as
the latter part of the eighteenth cen
tury, and it did not become common
until after the first decade of the nine
teenth.
Many explanations of the name have
been offered, all of which assume that
the term “Indian” used in this connec
tion refers to the American Indians.
A recent note in the Monthly Weath
er Review calls attention to a totally
different use of this term, in which the
reference is not to the American In
dians, but to East India.
Under the British board of trade reg
ulations one of the load lines marked
on ships bears the initials “1. S.,” this
being the maximum depth to which
vessels can be loaded for voyages dur
ing the “Indian summer”—!, e., the fine
season in the Indian seas.
How long has the term “Indian sum
mer” been used in this sense? It is
not recorded In any dictionary nor ap
parently in any work on meteorology
Is it possible that our autumnal In
dian summer was so named by sailors
or travelers who saw in It a resem
blance to tbe fine weather attending
the northeast monsoon in India?
When to Stop Advertising.
An English journal requested a num
ber of the largest advertisers to give
their opinions concerning the best time
to stop advertising, and the following
replies were received:
When the population ceases to mul
tiply and the generation that crowded
on after you and neter beard of you
stops coming on.
When you have convinced everybody
whose life will touch yours that you
have better goods and lower prices
than he can get anywhere else.
When you stop making fortunes sole
ly through the direct use of this mighty,
agent.
When younger and fresher houses in
your line cease starting up.
When you would rather have your
own way and fail than take advice
and win.

be any fun.”
But, dressed In bis best salt, be had
put on bis company manners and had
behaved very well Indeed, and when
their hostess served refreshments he
began to feel glad that be bad come.
When It came time to leave be held

was beaming her approval, be addeo
honestly—“a whole lot better time
than I expected to have.”—Indlanapo
