a discus&'m in congress relative to
the pending treaty with Nicaragua,
the faci was brought to light that
the German government had offered
Nicaragua more money for the
privilege of digging a canal across

freed by tl.e United States. It
was urged that au early r"-tifica
tion o£ the treaty might be the
means of avoiding complications of
infinite mflgnitude. This will un

self was on ono of the new glass
bottomed boats when the looation
of a submarine v:co obtained. The
submarine had become entangled in
one of the numorous nets stretched
along the British coast. Tho sub
marine was booked and towed
ashore. One of the most grewsome
sights ever witnessed was revealed
when tho conning tower hatch was
opened, and an inspection begun.
The crew were all dead. They
had beeu victims of a murderer.
The commander of the submarine,
had ividtutly summoned his crow to
him and explained their position j
and had stated that all were in :
danger of a most horrible deatli,
tnat by suffocation, or possibly ii.
one chance of a thousand, they '
migh* be captured alive.
The crew evidently had con-1
suited tc die at the hands of lac ;
commander for they had been shot
huipty revolver shells told the
lent story. The commander thea j
suicided. His body was found
stretched across the bodies of
three r.l Ira moil.

died rather than t>o captured. Of
the other submarines captured, the
crews were all interned.

Washington Birthday, Feb. 22
A RARE combination of statesmanship and
military genius; an unusual embodiment of
tenacity, unshakable courage; a keen and
militant sence of justice; these were the great
virtues of George Washington.
They represent the spirit of fairness which we
should strive for in our buisness relations which
should manifest itself in the sale of good merchan
dise, in the giving of values, in the guarantee of
of satisfaction. In that spirit we are trying to run
this store.
