PASSED * MISERABLE NIGHT RUGS NOT FOR MISS HUMBLE ONLY ONE COMMON LAN
If England and Germany Will Agrsc
to Modify Their Warfare It Meant
Step Toward End.
k
Washington, July 17.—For the first
time since the methods of German sub
marine warfare wrung a protest from
the I'nited States supplemented with
a demand for apology and adequate re
paration, the British government, here-
tofore ignoring similar remonstrances
against its own violation ot' interna
tional laws, has been put upon the de-
fensive.
The fact is attributed to two causes
—the skill of Count von Herustorff and
the growing conviction among officials
of this government that the foundation
has uot only been provided for au
abandonment of the objectionable sea
policies of both belligerents, but pos-
sibly for the restoration of peace
throughout Europe.
Neutrals More Optimistic.
♦ Strikingly silhouetted against reccnt
incidents in the development of the
war situation were two today that offi-
cials think justify a more optimistic
view as to the possibilities for greater
protection to neutral nations at sea
than have characterized the previous
history of pending international com-
plications.
The first event was the official "con-
versation" between Count von Bern-
storff and Secretary of State Lansing.
The second event is the knowledge
that Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British
ambassador, within the last day or two
has communicated to his government
his belief that some concessions
should be made by it to the protests
of the United States against the con-
tinuance of the seizure of American
ships and cargoes and the blockading
of neutral ports.
Germany Not Solely to Blame.
That the British ambassador was in-
spired to suggest a modification of the
British marine policy, for the accuracy
of which there is the highest author
Sty, implies at once a compliment to
the German ambassador and an awak-
ening on the part of the British diplo-
matic representative to the widely ex-
panding impression that Great Britain
is equally culpable of violations of in
ternational and treaty stipulations,
though escaping responsibility for the
tragedies that have attended the oper-
ation ot the German submarines and
have aroused indignation throughout
the United States.
The action of the British ambassa
dor, it is believed, was directly prompt-
ed by the declared purpose of Ameri-
can business men whose cargoes have
been seized to urge the President to
greater acceleration in demanding re-
dress for unwarranted seizures of their
products and wares by British war-
ships and the resulting curtailment of
their privileges to sell their goods to
neutral countries.

Even the man who does not sympa-
thize with the movement for wom-
an's rights cannot help admiring the
leaders of it Elizabeth Cady Stanton
proved more than once, says the
Youth's Companion, that she had both
physical and moral courage of a high
order. She had often, say her biog-
raphers in "Heroines of Modern Prog-
ress," to utter her message under the
most trying circumstances.
Once in Michigan a party of speak-
ers visited a deaf and dumb institu
tion. Mrs. Stanton just said: "There
is one comfort in visiting this place,
we shall not be asked to speak,
when the superintendent came up
with: "Ladles, the pupils are as
Bembled in the chapel ready to hear
you." They spoke, while the superin-
tendent repeated In sign language
what they said At another time their
boat was icebound in the middle of
the Mississippi river. Someone shout-
ed: "Speech on woman suffrage!"
They rose to the occasion, and there
at midnight made several new con-

In Kansas Mrs. Stanton one night
was refused lodging in a house, and
ensconced herself In the carriage. "1
had just fallen into a gentle slumber,"
she wrote, "when a chorus of grunts
and a violent shaking of the carriage
revealed to me the fact that I was
surrounded by those long-nosed black
pigs so celebrated for their courage
and pertinacity. They had discovered
that the iron steps of the carriage
made most satisfactory scratching
posts 'Alas.' thought I. 'before morn
ing I shall be devoured!'" She plied
the whip upon them, but without ef-
fect; so she went to sleep and let
them scratch at their pleasure. "•
had a sad night of it, and never tried
the carriage again, although I had
many equally miserable experiences
within four wails."
Court Decision Likely to Cause F*'"*
Plaintiff to Feel Like Living Up

Sour wine, gayety, humility—such
might, perhaps, be designai^d as the
subject of the case reported in 14 <
Pacitie Reporter. 778, as indicated bv
the subject matter, love letters fol
lowed by death of the wooer, taken in
connection with the names of the par
ties Involved. Humble. Gay and Sauer-
wein. The last named was the cava
lie, and owner of a tine collection of
119 Indian blankets and ru„s. In
winter of 1910 he met Miss Humble,
and thereupon became "Humbled.'
we might perhaps say, not In the or
dinary sense of degradation, but ol
being held captive by 'he lady 's
charms. He sot-n cought an engage-
ment of marriage and showed her ms
collection of rugs, with the statement
that they were to be hers. She did
not at that time accept either the gift
of his person or property. A rew
months later Mr Sauerwein died. Ln
ter here Mr. Gay as executor. After
the departure of Sauerwein "to -hat
bourne from which no traveler re-"
turns." Miss Humble, perhaps to have
them as a keepsake, sought recovery
of the collectior of rugs on the the-
ory that a valid gift of them had been
made to her. The supreme court of
California, however, held that accord
ing to the evidence, consisting tartly
of letters from the 'ovelt rn Sauer-
wein the gift had never been com
pieted. and denied recovery.—The
Docket.
A Suggestion.
Miss Campbell had given up colored
servants for white, but when a near
relative of the family died she was
called upon by her old colored maid
"Ah come. Miss Sally," said the maid,
"to say dat now dat yo' is in mohnin'.
yo' might want to take on a black
maid, missy, 'staid o' one o' dem white
ones. Ef yo' does. Ah's all ready."—
Judge.
Ins and Outs.
"Did you run out of gasoline?"
"I did. and the motorcycle police-
man ran me in."
Some women are so contrary that
they would rather be married than be
happy.
"Living Whist."
The game of "living whist" is a fol-
lower. and a most unsatisfactory one,
as a matter of fact, of the game of
"living chess." The latter has been
given frequently in out-of-doors fetes.
The ground is marked in'squares. like
a huge chessboard, and the pieces are
represented by women and men in cos-
tumes that indicates their positions-
queens, bishops, knights, pawns, etc.
The game is played by the directions
of two persons seated on thrones at
the edge of the board, the pieces mak-
ing the moves indicated by them.
"Living whist" followed this scheme,
but by its nature was "ar less success-
ful. The board and squares were lack
ing and the game did not lend itself
to th° scheme Of such a game as
"living bridge" or "living auction."
however, we can find no record, and
it is most unlikely that such a game
could be played at all. as the bidding,
which is. of course, the real essence
of these games, would be an impossi-
bility. ______

Pleasant Prospect.
Bobby was fond of his uncle's dog.
a ferocious looking mastiff, and was
much distressed when he learned the
dog would have to be muzzled because
he had bitten the butcher. Bobby
said: "1 don't believe Tige did it."
When the butcher came over Bobby
met him at the door. He was very
angry and said to the butcher: "You
I must come here and see if his teeth

No Mistake.
