The Lusitania Tragedy
From the Lexington Leader
*TpHERE are some faets which must be faced calmly and
without hysteria. The Lusitania was a Britisli ship.
Great Britain and Germany are at war with each other.
Before tlie sailing of the Lusitania from New York har
bor the German embassy gave plain and emphatic notice
by newspaper advertisement warning passengers against
traveling into the war zone 011 sliips belonging to belliger
ents. Hence, in a large measure, American citizens who
took passage on the Lusitania, knowing tliat she would
sail into which liave daily for weeks been the scene of
many disasters caused by German submarines, did so at |
their own risk and perii. These are some of the circum
stances%which must be weiglied in advance of any express
ions or actionsof a nature wliicli would tend to involve the,
United States in war with any otlier country.

CAPTIVES START UNIVERSITY.
Germans Help Belgian Prisoners to
Continue Their Studies.
A rcgular university is in operation
in the prison camp at Soltau, Prussia,
which contains several thousand cap
tlves. Lectures are being given in de
partments of arts. law an3 theology.
and In a commercial school. There also
is a preparatore department.
The university owes its origin to the
fact that the Belgian prisoners include
many professor? and students of four
Belgian universities. The students de
sired an opportunity to continue their
studies. The classes were opened also
to other prisoners.
The attendance in the preparatory de
|ertment is particuiarly large.
BATTLE LINE IN EUROPE
1,668% MILES LONG.
Careful calculation shows that
at the moment the great German
drive began the battle lines in
Europe covered the enormous
stretch of 1,668% miles.
Among the allles the line of
death was divlded as follows:
French 644 miles
British 31tt miles
Belgians 17% miles
Russians 857 miles
Germana 219 miles
In cost, loss of life, destruction
of property and loss of produc
tion and trade the war is eating
up more than $124,000,000 a day,
experts say.
Belgium's losses are now esti
mated at $2.600,000,000.

Lettera Tied to Stones Flung at Night
Into British Trenches.
Two lettera tied around stones were
thrown into the trenches of the Second
British corps the night of Aprii 12 and
13. One letter read:
Dear Honored Comrades —As this war
has now been going on for about nine
months and whole villages with their in
liabitants have been devastated, it is now
high time to put a stop to it.
We are ali tired of this savage life, and
you must be too. Our dear wives and
children avait and long for our return
and yours must do the same.
Hoping tliat we may do some good by
this, we remain with friendly greetings,
THE GERMAN SAPPING PARTY.
The other letter ran:
Dear French and English Comrades —It
is just about tlme you stopped ali this, for
we think you will soon have had enough
of your war. Our losses are great, and
yours must be three times as big.
Every day it gets finer, and it would be
better if we could be at home with our
wives and children, who are waiting every
day for us, as yours are waiting for you.
Let us have peace on earth before the
cherry blossoms come out, but the sooner
the better, or do you want to go on sit
ting forever in these damned trenches?
With friendly greetings,
THE GERMANS.

Eccentric Henry Cavendish and Somt
of His Queer Ways.
Whenever Henry Cavendish, the fa
mous English chemist and physicist,
entertained his guests he would alwaya
give thern the same fare—a leg of mut
fon. A story goes that one day when
four friends were eoming it was asked
bini what should be ordered for din-
I ner. He answered, "A leg of inutton."
* "Sir,*" was the reply, "that will not be
enough for Ave." Well, then, get two,"
said the host.
When this eccentric gentleman died
he was the largest holder of bank stock
|in England. He owned £1,157,000 in
different public funds, besides freehold
property of £B,OOO a year and a bai
ance of £50,000 on account. This large
; income was allowed to accumulate
without attention. On one occasion,
when the bankers had in hand a bal
| ance of £BO,OOO, they tliought it well to
j acquaint Mr. Cavendish with the faci
M lf It is any trouble to you I will
take it out of your hands. Do not
come here to pingue me."
"Not the least trouble to us, slr, but
we thought you mlght like some of it
to be invested."
"Well, what do you want to do?"
"Perhaps you would like half of it
invested ?"
"Do so, do so, and do not come here
to bother me or I*ll remove it," was
i the churlish finale of the interview.
Cavendish was seventy-eight years of
age when he died in 1810, and he had
never changed the fashion of his dress
for sixty years.—London Graphic.
Turner's Little Afterthoughi,
An English critic's reference to Tur
ner's fine picture "The Wreck Buoy*
reminds a faithful newspaper reader
of a curious anecdote in connection
with IL When Turner first sent thi9
picture to the Royal aeademy it was
hung among several briiliantly colored
pictures. On varnishing day Turner
found the effect of his dull gray ren
dering of a stormy sea altogether
Bpoiled by its bright surroundings
Without a moment's hesitatlon he
painted in the lighted buoy in the fore
ground, and its dab of crimson ligh:
showed so brilliantly in its gloomy set
ting that Turner's picture became the
prominent one, and its rivals on each
side were cast into the shade. It is
curious, if true, that the most noticw
ftble feature of the picture should hav*
been an afterthought
Eskimo Courtship.

HiDDEN WEALTH.
Why It Is Always Wise to Analyxe th
Earth When Digging.
Material thrown up by burrowing
! animals or exposed in digging or plow
ing, and, of course, railway cuttings
: or any excavations, should be carefullj
examined for the presence or indica
i tions of useful minerals. Fallen stones
especially carried down by rivers
should be carefully iuspected, and il
any stones of a proinising charactei
such as vein rock, which are known as
shode stones, be found, the inspectlon
should be continued up the river or
the valley. The maln may be many
; miles or only a few feet away from
where the stones that belong to the
vein now are.
A vein rock usually is of a different
degree of hardness to the surroundlng
rock. It is harder than the surround
ing materials. In weatbering the out
crop is marked by projectiug masses oi
rocks or depressions, whlch may be
followed by the eye for some distance
marking a vein.
These outcrops should be examined
to see lf they contaln any useful min
erai or indications of them. If the
outcrop presents a spongy looklng
mass, stained with dark and other
hues of brown, it glves a favorable in
dicatlon. This material is called gos
san and is a favorable indication of
rich minerals lying underneath.—Chi

HARVEY AND THE BLOOD.
How Hi Theory of Circulation Wa
Borri and Demonatrated.
It was whlle Btudying at Padua un
• der a professor who had discovered
the valves In the veins that Harvey
; discovered the circulation of the blood.
He was curious to know what these
valves were for, and, findlng that they
ali polnted in the same direction, he
could think of no reason for thelr ex
; lstence unless lt might be to prevent!
the blood from flòwing backward.
Placlng a ligature on his arm, he
fonnd that one set of vessels, the ar
terles, became distended wlth blood on
the side nearest to the heart, while
the velns became distended wlth blood
on the side farthest from the heart.
This to him meant only that the blood
fiowed from the heart through the ar
teries and back to the heart through
the veins. It also explained the beat- i
lng of the heart and the throbbing of!
the pulses. > !
But the medicai and surgical world
received thLs epoch making discovery
with scorn. Harvey published a book
on his discovery, and his practice feiij
off considerably. Doctors scoffed. and
the public looked on him as a crank
It was a quarter of a century aftei
the book appeared before the discover\
was accepted by the learned men ol
the world.—New York World.

1 AUSTRIA'S CONCESSIONS
Italy Will Obtain Much by Keeping
Out of War.
Rome, May 12.—A note informine
Italy of the maximum coneessions
Austria-Hungary is willing to make in
return for a promise that Italy will
continue neutral was handed to thè
foreign minister, Baron Sonnino, by
the secretary of Prince von Buelow,
the German ambassador.
It is learned from a diplomatic
source that the coneessions are the
following:
1. The cession of the Trentino.
2. The cession of that part of tlia
Friuli stili in Austrian liands, includ
> ing the crown land of Goerz and
Gradisca as far as the Isonzo river.
3. The restoration to Trieste of the
autonomy enjoyod bv that city before
IS6tf, whìcfr -includes exemption of ita
icitizens from military service, an in*
dependent administration and other
municipal privileges.
4. Autonomy for Istria and for ali
( communes having a predominant
Italian population.
5. The cession to Italy of four
|islands on the Dalmatian coast.
6. Recog-iition to Italy of a free
I hand in Albania.
7. Privileged commercial treaties
, between Austria and Italy.
These coneessions on the part of
Austria, which were unsolicited by
Italy since during the negotiations the
Italian government rejected previous
, minor offers as insufficient, but did
not advance any specific demands, aro
now offered unconditionally. It is be
lieved that Italy will not make reci
procai coneessions. In any case it is
understood that she will sign no
treaty but will retain complete free
dom of action in the Medlterranean.
FRENCH CLAIM BIG GAINS
German Offensive at Ypres Believed
Weakened by Successes.
Paris, May 12. —New gains of great
linportance north of Arras are record*
ed by the war office. A great tìeld
work which had been turned into a
veritable fortress has been càptured
from the Gevmans in the face of a
most severe bombardment, and I i
Chapelle de Notre Dame de Lorette,
a fortified place which the German
soldiers had been ordered to hold at
any price, has been completely in
vested.
After extremely violent fighting bi
fore Loos French troops have taken
an entire system of trenches and to*
, day along this entire front the French,
having forced the Germana out of
their first three lines of defenses, aro
hammering away at the fourth lino
trenches wilh great vigor.
The positions gained are held to b
of the greatest importance not onlv
because of their intrinsic value but
because the losses in this region will
naturally tend to weaken the German
offensive at Ypres.
DERNBERG DISAPPROVED
Washington May Ask Kaiser's Moutfr

Washington, May 12. —It developoA

given in the cabinet meeting to the
status of Dr. Bernhard Dernberg, for
mer German colonial secretary, who
has been in this country for several
months past as a spokesman for the
German cause.
The statement of Dr. Dernberg
justifying the torpedoing of the Lusi
tania as an incident of war, taken in
connection with olher utterances, are
understood to have met with strong
disapprovai in high executive quar
ters. The departure of Dr. Dernberg

welcome to the authorlties here, to
say the least.
