It is not often that a submarine can be seen out of Its natural element; and when in that element, very little of it can be seen. Five American 8ubma- rines were photographed in the Gatun lock of the Panama Canal after it had been drained. Miss Olwen E. Lloyd George, daugh ter of David Lloyd George, was mar ried to Captain Carey Evans, of the British army, at a simple ceremony which took place at the Welsh Baptist chapel, London. The Premier, Mrs. Lloyd 'George, and many prominent personages were present. Owing to the war there was no bridal procession or elaborate display. Nevertheless, a great crowd gathered about the chapel and gave hearty greeting to bride and bridegroom. Miss Lloyd George was showered with bouquets by many girls and women. The Germans have asserted that the fctorles told by the British of captured submarines are exaggerated. Many are being captured, however, some of them minelayers. They are probably taken In nets which the British spread for submarines, but as to this fact the au thorities are silent. An official food conservation cos tume Is to be adopted by all house wives, who will do their utmost to con serve the food supply of the United States. "Women employes of the food admin istration in Washington. D. C, are cos tumed In this new frock for good housewives. "The war will be won wfth food" so the great duty of the women folk of the country can be seen at once. It is on them that the greater responsibility for food conservation falls, and It Is to them that the credit .Will go. A British warship recently visited a famous American coast resort. The Bailors and marines, to say nothing of their officers, pledged "hands across the sea." British marines were made captive by American girl bathers. The latest and most diabolical war fare to be introduced was originated by the Germans. It is called the "Flammenwerfer" or "Flame-Thrower" and instead of spreading gas it actually throws flames. The air is filled with smoke and flames which are deadly to the foe. The latest destroyer of life looks somewhat like a fire extinguisher and Is hung on the back of the soldier, while an extension that is held in the hands throws the flames. Before the Summer Is over women may supplant the masculine guards at all beaches in the United States, for these bronzed and brawny amphibians are the type of men the Nation needs for submarine chasers, and so many have volunteered, that already there Is a shortage of guards. ' Miss Fay Bell in her one-piece bath ing suit which are now permitted on Chicago beaches, graces the sandy shores of Wilson Beach. British cycle orderlies go near enough to the front to be right under fire. They carry dispatches through the danger zone. LEGAL SIDELIGHTS FOR LAWYERS AND LAYMEN " - - - - ... BY RETXLLB G- 13. CORNISH, OP PORTLAND BAB THE Man Without a Country Citi zenship Is a privilege and a duty of the greatest solemnity, not to be taken off and put on again at one's convenience as if it were an old coat. And, though Uncle Sam Is very good about releasing the unwilling from re lationship with him, he is not quite so lenient when It comes to taking them back again In the family. If you would have the truth of these remarks brought home to you forcibly, read the case of In re Griffin, 237 Federal Re porter, 445: The petitioner in this case was a native-born American, who moved with his family to Canada. While there the man enlisted in a Canadian regiment,' taking the oath of absolute allegiance to King George. A short time after ward he deserted and secretly re entered the United States. He was ap prehended, taken into custody by the immigration authorities and thereupon applied for a writ of habeas corpus to be released from them, claiming that his desertion from the English army and re-entry Into the United States re instated him as a citizen of the latter country and gave him the right of pro tection here as such. The court denied his petition. Baying in part as follows: "No person can owe allegiance to two different absolute and Independent gov ernments at the same time. A citizen of the United States owes to his Gov ernment full, complete, and .true al legiance. He may remove and abandon it at any time. This Is a natural and inherent right, any abrogation of which is declared by the act of July 27, 1868 (U. S. Comp. St., 3955), inconsistent with the fundamental principles of this republic. He may go abroad freely, but if when abroad he enters the mili tary service of the foreign government where he is and there takes an oath that he will be faithful and bear true allegiance to such foreign government against all enemies, will observe and obey all orders of such government, etc, he takes on himself duties and obligations absolutely Inconsistent with the duties he owes the country and government he left, for, in case of "war between the two countries, he could not support one without being an enemy to the other. By change of mind finding such service irksome and un pleasant, and by desertion from such foreign military service and surrepti tious return to the United States, he may not rehabilitate and reinstate him self as a citizen of the United States. By unequivocal acts he may not expatriate himself one week and re store himself the next with all the rights of a citizen." Pigs Is Pigs If your neighbor's pig pen annoys you and you are of a bel ligerent turn of mind, you might con sider suing him, but before you do so, perhaps It might be well to read the recent case of Clark vs. Wambold, 160 N. W., 1039: The plaintiff in this case had brought an injunction suit to restrain the de fendant from raising hogs on premises adjoining the plaintiff on the ground that they constituted a nuisance. The court, after mature deliberation, de cided as follows: "The raising of pigs Is a perfectly lawful and respectable business. Doubt less It will remain so as long as the human palate craves the thin cut of Juicy ham and the crisp slice of break fast bacon. With all the marvelous ad vance In science of animal husbandry which has taken place in recent years, we have not yet produced the odorless pig. He may at some future time, in company with the voiceless cat and the flealess dog; but he is not yet in sight. Whenever he comes he will be wel come; but In the meantime pigs will be pigs, and we must put up as best we may with the odorous pig, and his still more odorous pen." After awarding the legal victory to defendant, however, the court concluded with a few words of sage advice, which, while extra-judicial in character and having no legal weight, might well be committed to memory by neighbors who are inclined to be piggish, or even hoggish, over their legal rights. He said in part: "Insistence on extreme legal rights Is not always good policy, to say noth ing of good neighborliness. It Is far better to make a friend of one's neigh bor by foregoing, at his request, the exercise of some minor right which causes his. discomfort, than to make an enemy of him by insisting upon the right - simply because the law gives it. ... A rood neighbor Is a great treasure. We can generally have such treasures if we are neighborly our selves. The golden rule is just as good a rule of conduct now aa It was nineteen hundred years ago." MOTHER ABANDONS BABY Child Found on Porcli With Note Telling Reasons. MINNEAPOLIS. July 15. A Minne apolis mother who feared she could not longer provide properly for her 2 weeks old daughter left the baby on a doorstep and then left the city to seek employment and to forget, if she could. The baby, wrapped in a blanket and neatly dressed, was found on the porch at Mrs. R. L. Weeks' home, 1517 Lin den avenue. A note pinned to the dress told Mrs. Weeks the baby's name wu Helen Atwater and the reasons for leaving her there. "I cannot provide properly for her and I want her to have good care," the note read. "I am leaving her with you, for I think you will do this. I am going to leave the city and work and forget." A- L. Weeks, son of Mrs. Weeks, found the baby .asleep at daybreak when he was going to work. Mrs. Weeks cared for her temporarily and then sent her to the city hospital. She said she was not in a position to keep the child. WOMEN'S BUREAU TO OPEN Trained Employes Will Be Listed for Various Occupations. MINNEAPOLIS. July 15. The state occupational bureau for trained women, to be located in Minneapolis, which was decided on at a meeting of 12 city and state civic bodies recently, will be opened September 1. A board of directors to comprise 11 to 15 men and women, the men to be employers of labor or men in close touch with industrial conditions, is being brought together. The board of directors will include a representative from St. Paul and one from Duluth. Interest in the occupational bureau already has brought a score of inquiries from women of special capabilities to Mrs. Frank M. Warren, chief organizer of the occupational bureau. Another session of the organizing committee will take place within 10 days to map out further details of the project. Learning from other people's mis takes would be easier if we did not all feel too smart to make mistakes like other people. j US 104.;
