i & cm, T 4 GERMANY'S IGNOBLE BACKDOWN. BACKDOWN. By Chas. M. Bice, Denver, Col. Military Mems. ) To the victors belong the spoiled towns and villages. Are the Russian army costs charged to running expenses ? Speaking of soldiers, a body of burglars should make a crack corps. And a corps of stokers should be able to advance under a hot fire. Why do soldiers need blankets when they can cover themselves with glory on the field? Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S 5ASTORI A Cask's Cotton Root Compound. A sale, reliable regulating medicine.

After much "crimination and recrimination" recrimination" between the governments governments of the U. S. and that of Germany, Germany, the Kaiser has at last yielded to the American demand respecting submarine depredations. Some people call this a diplomatic victory for the Yankee nation; but others are equally insistent that Germany Germany has yielded only because "the waters were made too hot" for her by the activity of the British naval force. Whatever may be the real cause of Germany's acceding to America's. demand, demand, the result is equally glorious and reassuring. Regret, disavowal and indemnity are all conceded by Germany, with the assurance that the Teuton will hareafter be good. We are assured that the-Kaiser's order order to his submarines has been made so drastically stringent that the recurrence recurrence of incidents similar to the Arabic and Lusitania cases is considered considered out of the question. At the outset of the negotiations Germany asserted her right in unmistakable unmistakable terms to continue her original submarine policy, and stated in its first note that "the German Government Government is unable to acknowledge any obligation to grant indemnity in the matter, even if the commander of the submarine should have been mistaken as to the aggressive intentions of the Arabic." But, in the note a month or so later, we were informed by Count Bernstorff, that Germany is willing to negotiate • concerning the amount of the indemnity to be paid for the disaster, and this is expressly stated, whether the submarine commander commander w r as convinced or not, that the Arabic intended to ram the submarine; submarine; . and Germany has gracefully yielded to the testimony of the British British officers to the contrary. The Imperial government, in the same note, assured America that "the at- ; tack of the submarine was undertaken undertaken against the instructions issued to the commander," and that "the Government disavows the act and has notified the commander, Schneider, accordingly." We have some recollection of a "war zone" decree, and the liberal dimensions thereof, as set by the German German naval officials, but all this is now a mere reminiscence, it seems, and we are to hear no more about it. This is a signal and surprising victory victory for the whole world, for it fixes the limits of submarine activity for THE JOY OF BEING ALIVE AND WELL RED CROSS PUBLICITY.
