ID. DOANI, Pablleher. INDIANA Truth, though crushed to earth, shall In time get by the censor. Sometimes a fellow wishes he could afford gout without having it Golden wedding celebrations look better than divorce statistics. Crude rubber hap iken a big drop, but watch it bounce " again. No man should let himself get old enough to forget that ho was a boy once. Come to think of It, 'twould be a poor quality of hope that didn't spring eternal. Even a picnic Is not all joy. If the fun overbalances the discomforts it's a success. Another reason for loving the birds is their optimism. Every day Is jubilee time to them. Under Its shelter the canoe is assiduously practicing its favorite summer maneuver of upsetting. Perhaps you have noticed that always it is a banker who announces that money Is plentiful. , "Senatorial courtesy" is what keeps one statesman from hitting another statesman below the belt. Holding a man that Is dead set upon fighting is almost as unsatisfactory as holding an excited tomcaL ; As soon as man has Incubated a strange idea he'll walk three blocks to find somebody to try it on. Though there Is a dearth of good Jockeys there should result no disas trous consequences to the human race. Nations are like men. They start out to lick somebody and wind up with a struggle to keep from getting licked. Most of us would be physically and mentally exhausted if we were to do nil the things we are going to do tomorrowr It Is the easiest thing In the world for a girl to find a bridegroom, but if she Is looking for a real husband, that Is different. What has become of the old-fash-loned girl whose only experience of candled sweets was derived from the annual 'lasses candy pulling? Passengers senjni much more tolerant of a loud man than of a loud wom an on a street car. They think the woman ought to know better. "When Docs a Woman Buy?" Is the subject of an advertising treatise. You can see, don't you, that the advertising experts know who gets the pay en velopes. A Chlcaco theorist says that dancing is hard on the brain. This is the first intimation that the modern dances made any exhausting demand on the intellect For a study of psychology take the case of the legislator who votes en thusiastically for a bill and then votes enthusiastically to sustain the veto of the measure. ! Somebody has Invented a devico that eliminates errors in meter readings. This must be unnecessary; they've al ways told us that the meter can't pos sibly be wrong. i Women working tu munition fac tories in EnKlan? aid to find that 'their complex!'' aaproved. May be they aren't pv all the powder 'in the shells. i Paying for a dead horse Is proverbi ally hard, but a Missouri man who had 15 mules requisitioned during the Civil war has Just received payment for them from the United. States. It will reaulre some years for men to become broadailnded enough not to Vpffiird actions they jdisapprove as cor rupt and men with whom they dis agree as scoundrels and thieves. The latest thing In ladles' hair dressing has been exemplified in New fYork. It is the "trench curl," so-called because It resembles a series of trenches. Must be absolutely "killingl" , Carrying a cane disposes of one of .the superfluous hands that a man has jwhen walking, but science has not yet provided a use for the other, unless the man is a suburbanite with parcels to carry. Evidently It was In accordance with some quaint oriental custom that Hon. Yuan Shi Kal died "surrounded by his wives and older children." x But maybe the encyclopedias of the future can tell whether Hon. Yuan 'fjhi Kal was a president or an em peror a? te mouient of his death. f The old-time apprentice who ulti mately became proprietor never was ttlle onpugh to fiult his Job and get 1U5 yards away ööIÄ the shop before the clock had stopped striking six.

SUPERSUBMARINE DEUTSCHLAND MAKES TRIP OF 4,180 MILES IN 16 DAYS. CARRIES 1,000 TONS OF DYE Craft Beats British Blockade and All Submersible Records Chased 800 Miles by Enemy Warships Journeys Under Water 1,800 Miles. Baltimore, Md., July 10. The Ger man merchant supersubmarine Deutschland has arrived in Chesapeake bay. Long expected, ridiculed, fabulous as the sea serpent or the Plying Dutch man, she became a reality to the watch ers off Cape Henry at exactly 1:20 Sunday and slowly made her way through a network of inquisitive ships and through the mazes of red tape of the quarantine and customs officials to her dock at the pier of the Eastern Forwarding company, Locust Point, Baltimore. She Is the largest submarine afloat. The largest German war models are less than 300 feet long. But this sub marine of commerce is 315 feet long, exactly one-third the length of the largest merchant vessels afloat the Vaterland and Imperator. Carries Dyestuffs. The boat carries no passengers. Her cargo consists entirely cZ dyestuffs a thousand tons of them. This keeps her very low in the water when on the surface. Her draft, when she was sight ed, was 17 feet and it was largely be cause of her depth that she did not try to come nearer land when sub merged. She is commanded by Captain Kalrlg and has a crew of 29 men Both captain and crew are drawn from the German merchant fleet and not from the navy. The craft Is unarmed and Is being treated by the United States like any other merchant ship. It is said that she submerged when ever she saw any vessel, on the chance that it might be a warship. The Eng lish government was not among those who regarded the trans-Atlantic sub mersible as a joke, and the report is that the Deutschland was chased for 30 hours by English and French war ships. She submerged and eluded them by traveling out of her course 800 miles. Makes Record of 4,180 Miles. Because she was forced to make this detour she has the record for subma rine distance travel. The longest trip previously made by any submarine was the 3,500 miles, from Kiel to Constanti nople, made by the U-boat that sank the British battleship Majestic. It is said that the Deutschland traveled 4,I1S0 mileSÄWO miles of this being un der water. The trip was made In 10 days. She ran through the North sea sub merged practically all the time. She was forced to submerge again for a time when she got two-thirds of the way across, when she sighted a Dutch merchant vessel In her path. And, some G00 miles off the Virginia coast, she was frightened out to sea again for a distance of some 200 miles by enemy warships. But on her return she was able to come to the surface a hundred miles from land and was not forced to submerge again. Met by Tug of U. S. The Deutschland was met off Cape Henry by the tug Thomas F. Timmons of the Eastern Forwarding company. She had been waiting at the capes- for Ihe rrnst 11 days. And a couple of days ago Capt. F. Hinsch, the marine super intendent of the Ocean Transportation company, as the new merchant marine line is called, went on board the Tim mons. He directed the piloting of the ship. "We have proved," he told members of the Virginia Pilots' association, "that the English blockade amounts to nothing. There will be more sub marines from Germany. They will be making regular trips just like the big liners from England in a few weeks. We will have thm coming In at New York and other American ports." This boat is in excellent condition. She had only two mishaps and these delayed her but slightly. She had trouble with her motors and her un derwater lights, but she carried extra supplies and the trouble was quickly repaired.

RESERVES CALLED OUT Estimate is That One-Third of Men in Guard Will Be Affected Indiana Troops Entrain for Service on the Border Slackers Face Hard Work. Washington, July 7. The war de partment announced that it soon would call out the regular army reserve to All up the ranks of the new organize tions of regulars provided for by the army reorganization act. The leserve consists principally of men who have been honorably discharged from serv ice. The call affects between 4,000 and 5,000 men. Washington, July 7. Married men who have families dependent on them will be excused from service in the National Guard units of the country during their present mobilization for Mexican border service. Secretary of War Baker made this announcement The discharge with honor will be giv en. Under the order a member of the guard who is supporting a dependent father or mother may also be excused from service. Secretary Baker and his advisers de cided that this step was imperative to meet appeals which have been flooding the war department on behalf of thousands of guardsmen whose families have been left destitute by the president's call upon the state forces for service on the Mexican border. One-Third Affected. There has been no tabulation of pe titions, but some officials estimated that fully one-third of ail the men In the National Guard might be affected by the order, which applies to troops now on the border as well as those waiting to move. Army recruiting officers have orders not to enlist married men who have dependent families. About one applicant In every five for enlistment in the regular army is accepted.

U-BOAT IS MERCHANT SHIP International Questions Brought Up by Arrival of German Submarine in the U. S. Washington, July 10. The U-boat liner which passed through the Vir ginia capes will be treated by the United States government as a mer chant ship. The vessel will be permitted to dis charge her cargo, to take on a cargo for the return voyage, and sufficient gasoline and other stores to enable her to reach home. This program of the state depart ment is based upon official reports that the German under-water boat is not armed with torpedoes and Is not fitted with torpedo tubes. The German embassy Is understood to be sending a communication to the state department requesting that the U-boat be treated as a merchantman and setting forth the grounds for such action. The British embassy is preparing to demand that the vessel be treated as a warship and required to leave American waters within 24 hours or be interned. The United States cannot perceive any legal difference between a surface, a subsurface or an underwater vessel. The legality of a blockade depends entirely upon its effectiveness. If the U-boats cannot be stopped, Lf commerce with this country should not be made sufficiently dangerous to justi fy the claim as to the effectiveness of the blockade, then, of course, the blockade loses Its force. CHICAGO JURIST IS DEAD i Judge Frank Baker of the Appellate a. a Court succumos to nearx uisease at Age of Seventy-Six. Chicago, July 10.
