Loudon, April 10—Jt is aasume<J
bv Iho press that the sinking of the
hcspi'al ship Asturiaa will be met
with uronipt reprisals, 1a accordance
with the declaration issued by the
British foreign office at the «n,d of
January when the German threat to
s'nfc hospital ships wag made on
the allegation that such vessels weifll
being used to transport sold tors.
The form the reprisals may take
has no' been indicated officially,
but tjne suggestion was then made
■that several of the highest ranking
Gorman officers among; the British .
prisoners should be carried on all
British hospital ships.
The survivors of the Asturias said
the ♦■orpedo whioh sank the ship
struck near the stern and almost
missed. One of the women nurses
on boar i, who was attached to the
Brltlsa field .hospital in Serbia,
said:
"We tad no warning of any kind
and we thought that a hospital ship
would do sacred, even, to the Ger
mans.. Of course WO tad heard
threats to the contrary, but the
thing seemed po utterly barbaroius
that I dismissed it from my mind.
W'. sailed thru the Bay of Biscay
without fear and without trying to
avo'r? detection. When the Asturias
wa- attacked she wag blazing wiih
li?ht and easy to identify."

London, April 10—London is not

says a report of the cocaine com

said was a growing curse of the

confined to a small section of the

Mushrooms and Oxygen.
A curious way of removing oxygen
trom tlie nir by the aid of a plant la
thus described: Inside a glass bell jar,
suspended over water, is placed a
nushroom, and sunlight is allowed to 1
'all upon the plant. The mushroom
ibsorbs the oxygen from the nir in >
he Jar, nnd the carbonic acid formed
luring the process Is absorbed by the i
vater, which gradually rises in the 1
ar to one-fifth, of jts height. The ,
nushroom at length dries up. but its '
tnlmatlon Is only suspended, as may
>e proved by Introducing beside it a
;reen plant, when it will recommence
o vegetate, being nourished by the i
ixygen exhaled from (lie fresh plant
THE LAW.
The first stop out of barbarism
is the recognition of law. Prim
itive man knew only his own de
sires and the measure of his
powor to gratify them, but ev
ery forward step in civilization
brings new laws and constantly
increasing readiness to obey
them. Man's mastery of self
means self enforced law.

Hope Very Seldom
Has Services
Fcr the Becon<i time in eighteen
years of its existence, the Village
of Hope, where citizens say they
endeavor to live up. to its name was
visited by a missionary preacher re
cently. Hope ig a mining town
on the northern edge of Kenai pen
insula, sixty-five miles by trail
from Seward, thg terminal of the
new United States railroad.
In spite of the fact that there is
no church there, every family was
supplied with a bible' and all ex
pressed great interest in establish
ing a Sunday school .
The new; Sunday school probab
ly is one of the most broad in re
eari' to creed in the United States,
as it includes children whoge par
ents prior to coming to Hope, were
affiliated with Methodist, Presbyter?
ian, Baptist, Congregationalist, Ro
man Catholic, Greek Cahtloic and
Episcopal churches.
Hope is a gold mining camp,
founded by a stampede in 1896, the
roar before the discovery of gold
the Klondike. At one time it
>oasted of a, papulation of of 2,000.
Mogt of the present population Lave
>eeji there for ten years or more.
Agricultural development of the
lavilahle land about the village has
ircgressed to a great degree in re
«nfc years.
There ig gold on all the creeks,
n spite of th,e fact that all of the
'big pay" was taken out in the
■ear following the first stampede,
■nd i* is apparent that development
irork cn quartz ledges from which
he placer deposit originated, may
tain make it a center of activity.

Washington Men
Fit For Service
Seat'le, April 10—Should the
United States call for men in event
of war, 94 per cent of th,a students
9t tie University of Washington
could qualify; for actire service. This
es'iniate made by Dr. D. C. Hall,
director of physical education, is
twse.d on physical tests giv^n to men,
entering the university.
"A part of these could not serve
in the first line troops on, account
of wearing glasses or having Borne
other physical imperfection," said
Dr. Hall. "M least 80 p^r cent,
however, would be able to shoulder
a gun in the fighting line. The
o'hers would b© available for
technical service." '
Eight hundred and tea men, in
cluding those of the officers' re
serve training corps and forty mem
bers oi the band, are available for
military service in thg university ca
de's corps, providing all could pas«
the military examination. Tie men
could not be drafted without their
consent since they retain their status
of citizen, according to Captain
William T. Patten^ U. S. A-, rettr
e<' commandant of the University o£
Washingtoa cadet corps.
Although noma o£ the cadets in
the corps have obligated themselves,
Loteutenant William D. Frazer be
lieves <hat enough, men to form a
baHalion, 600, could easily be
raised in case o£ necessity. He also
believes that there are fifty men
in the cadet corps and officers'
training corps *hat could1 qualify
for commissions in the regular in
fantry..
Tie men that the university could
supply would have toi be equipped
from outside sources a» not enough
war materials are kept an the cam
pus, owing to. the poor bousing fa
cilities The recent filibuster ia

impropriation bill, has cans**! the
