BE PROTECTED
Gerard Reports That Kaiser's Govern
ment Will Concede That Much,
But Continue Submarine War.
WASHINGTON, May 20.—American
Ambassador Gerard, at Berlin, has
advised the Secretary of State that
he has been semi-officially informed
that the German foreign office ac
cepts the principle that American
citizens must be protected, but has
rejected the part of the American note
which demands that the submarine
warfare on merchant ships of Great
Britain shall stop. The German- gov
ernment’s reply will be very specific
and will go into all the details of the
present difficulties between the Un
ited States and Germany with a view
of cleaning off the slate and starting
anew if some means can be found to
settle the outstanding troubles.
The report indicates that the Ger
man foreign office is seeking to find
some ground for a peaceful settlement
of the trouble and is willing to con
cede to Americans protection of life
even on British merchant ships, but
will insist upon continuing to en
force the submarine blockade.
Defendents Have Big Array of High
Class Legal Talent—Untermey
er Joins Defense.
WASHINGTON, May 20.—The fight
by the Riggs National Bank officials
against the Treasury Department,
Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller
Williams continued all of today. The
defendents, represented by Attorney
Brandeis, one of the leading attor
neys of the east, Samuel Untermeyer,
the New York attorney for many big
corporations, Attorney General Greg
ory and many of his staff and the
attorneys for the Treasury Depart
ment, are making a hard fight to
have the case thrown out of couit,
but have so far failed although Jus
tice McCoy has intimated that he
sees no evidence of conspiracy as far
as the testimony is now in.
Mr. Untermeyer today charged that
the Riggs Bank had a pipe line to the
Treasury building from the bank
building and had obtained large de
posits from previous administrations,
which had given the Riggs bank spec
ial priviliges, but when the present
administration had cut off the illicit
favors enjoyed by the bank, the suit
had followed.
The case still attracts much inter
est.
UUS FLOODS
•v nw. *
IN MIDDLE STATES
KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 20.—
Floods have done much damage in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri. The
loss to property will be more than
a million dollars. As far as is re
ported no loss of life resulted from
the floods, although many parts of
the flooded section are cut off from
communication.
A fire alarm was sent in last night
at 7:30 and the big engine was soon
under a head of steam, but the de
partment were unable to locate the
Are. The report that the fire was
near the brewery sent the department
to that point but no fire could be
found. Chief Finical was on the
scene soon after the alarm and di
rected the work of the department.

Spurgeon and Major Pond.
Major Pond, who was responsible
for Introducing to the public some of
the greater and lesser lights of the
lecture platform had mauy an experi
ence full of eccentric humor. Some
times Ills charges met him with the
greatest good humor. Often those
Whom lie approached felt compelled to
heat back hLs persuasions almost at
tiie point of the buyonet, for nobody
was so persuasive as Mujor Pond.
The great preacher, Charles Spur
geon, repulsed him In an ascending
scale of denial. The tirst reply ran:
“It will only he a waste of time for
you to see me, as I am not at all In
your line.”
The second said:
“Your good uatured pertinacity is so
admirable that I trust you will not
waste It upon an Impossible object.
The whole United States in bullion
would not tempt me to deliver one
such lecture.”
The third reply was conclusive:
“I have In ns plain a manner as pos
sible declined to make your acquaint
ance, and I beg, with nil courtesy and
decision, to do the same again. , I
know your business, and I have do
wish to enter upon It further.”
What Is Truth?
Everybody claims to want the truth.
No man Is so base or so cowardly ns to
want anything less, mate’s question,
“What is truth?” has never been fully
answered. It is not fact, it is not ob
jective Intelligences it Is not the evi
dence of the senses. These are mere
phases or incidents of truth. They
may all be false. Truth Is not from the
outside. It is not material. It is not
spiritual. It is the kindness of a deed
and the nobility of an aspiration. This
Is the only truth In the world. It makes
no difference what the teacher, the
preacher, the editor, the lecturer says,
tho only truth In the world is the act of
the loving and beautiful soul. The
Bible snys, “As a man thinketh in his
heart, so Is he.” That is in his spirit,
as expressed in his conduct. Every
man who builds hts life on that Idea is
a forerunner of the millennium.—Ohio
State Journal.
Constantinople’s Great Churoh.
The mosque of Sancta Sophia, Con
stantinople, stands as the world’s
greatest monument of Christian archi
tecture. Professor Paparrlgopoulos, the
Greek historian, whose estimate is re
garded ns the most careful ever made,
reckons the cost of ground, material,
labor, ornaments and church utensils
at about $G4,000,000. The common
estimate of the cost of St. Peter’s in
Itome was something less than $48,
000,000, says the Geographic Maga
zine. No other Christlnn church has
at nil approached Snnctn Sophia in the
variety and priceless value of Its mar
bles, In the prodigal employment of
gold, sliver and precious stones, and in
the number and value of its sacred
vessels. The expenditure for Sancta
Sophia was doubtless greater than for
any other sanctuary ever reared by
any people to the glory of God.
The Woman’s Gift.
It Is ns natural for the normal woman
to talk ns for the bird to sing. It is
the spontaneous expression and giving
of herself. It Is this naturalness which
gives to her talkativeness its perennial
charm as well as its incalculable value
In the scheme of things. The woman
in the human group is much like the
monarch in Pierre Mille’s tale of that
name. "Why do people call me the
monarch? Why am I loved? Why al
ways happy? Because,” he explains,
“I always have time to talk. Without
me the people around here would be
bored to death. I go and come, laugh
and sing, I cost nothing but a glass of
wine and a bit of supper. What do I
give? I give myself.”
The woman gives herself.—Woman’s
Home Companion.
Very Careful.
“Did you break anything today,
Norah?” asked the lady of the house.
"No, ma’am,” was the reply.
"Are you sure you didn’t break a j
single thing?”
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Not even one of the commandments,
Norah ?”
“Oh, well, ma’am, I wouldn’t be
wicked enough to call a commandment
a thing, ma’am.”—Yonkers Statesman.
Cause and Effect.
"You never catch me going about
giving people good advice,” said the
“loan shark,” with a superior air.
“That’s a fact,” answered his client.
“Your business owes its existence to
the fact that people won’t take good
advice when it’s offered.” — Birming
ham Age-Herald.
Quick Return.
“Yes, sir, I came upon a huge bear
track and spent all of three hours trail
ing the beast to where be was lurking
In his den In the rocks.”
“And then what?"
“Then i spent five minutes getting
home.”—Houston Post
How Hs Acted.
"How did the robber act?” asked the
curious one of the holdup victim.
“Oh, he was calm and collected,” re
torted the victim, mindful of his empty
pockets.—Buffalo Express.
