In the little city at" Roanoke, Virginia, lste last Saturday night, as the direct and almost immediate consequence of dispute over a five-cent sandwich be tween an American patron and a waiter in a Greek restaurant, nine cafes and three shoe-polishing stands kept by Greeks and three Syrian shops were de-j molished by, a mob. There will be no war between the United Stales and the kingdom of Greece, however. Xot even an "incident" involving international negotiations i the result. These Greeks are not "up" to the ways of the West Coast. They appear to bave a large measure of com mon sense. They have simply retained compel as almost any man with a mob-wrecked restaurant on hU hands would" do, no matter whether he hap pened to be a Briton, an American, an Irishman, a Dutchman, a Trojan a Carthagenian. on an Italian and this lawyen says: "The Greeks have confi dence in the sense and fairness and justice of the Roanoke people and be lieve that they will be reimbursed for the damage that 'they have sustained." Furthermore, the United States attorney for that Federal district, when asked what he was going to do about it, made answer: "The case is not covered by the Federal statues. The procedure would be for the offended Greeks to appeal to their government which would then apply to the United States for proper protection, and the Washington government would refer the matter to the eovernor of Virginia." Tie same procedure as waa followed a decade and a half ago in the matter of the mobbing and lynclung of Italian subjects confined in a Xew Orlans pii-on on suspicion of having murdered the chief of the city police and, with the result that the governor of Louisiana informed the United States government that public sentiment was such in bis state that no jury there, would ever in .diet or convict the lynchers; then the United State government informed that Of Italy that under the Federal Conati tution the central government la power less to coerce a state government in such matters: and finally but U a bit oi absolutely voluntary actionthe Fed eral government paid indemnity to the families of the murdered Italians. The controversy wae never "settled" between the two nations, however never can be, while our Constitution stands as it is today. If, the State of Virginia U good enough or the citv. of Roanoke is good enough to indemnity these Greeks for their losses, all will be well; if not, the men have a means of redTess in the civil courts. But the United States gov. ernment ia powerless in the premises. Somehow, however, American "jin goes" who sympathize with the injured persist in discerning a "casus belli in that bit of mob-rioting. Hew York Commercial. ANOTHER AMERICAN INVASION. Additional cause for alarm over the crowing American invasion into Euro pean commercial fields is told in cables from Berlin. A Brooklyn optician went to. the German capital recently and promptly! informed the community that American spectacles are far superior to the lenses made by their own country 'men. He is about to open a shop for tlto sale of his American wares. The experiment will bo watched with in terest. It ia jut poMe tlwt notional pride will operate agaiikst the mice : the Brooklynite'a project'.'" On the olhoi band, iOw quite likely that the enter prising optician will be afforded an op portunity to prove hi claims in a land where a vat number of persona are coin polled to ue glis-es. Whether or not American eyeglasses are found superior to the European product, the incident calls attention to the wonderful strides made in foreign market by American manufacturers within recent" year, which has been accomplished by ener getic commercial wurriors of the type of the Brookly n optician, f ' ' .0 . MUNICIPAL PRESS AGENTS. Unless the sign of the times are mis leading, the coming generation is likely to read the following on ' the oilickt) municipal ballots: For rreas Agent John Imagination. Of course the name may contain fewer letters, but the characters will probably mean the same thing. To those who nwy, be inclined, to deny the possibility it ' may be pointed out that evidence is multiplying that the municipal pree agent ia no louger a fad. He ia a muni cipal ornamenta of importance. He is growing in, d'goityi and power. , From Boston, unquestionably the home of culture in the east, comes con vincing testimony. It baa surrendered to the publicity promoter. Only the otlier day did this advertisement in bold-faced tvpe appear: "Xow is the time to visit Boston and see the most beautiful summer city on the Atlantic coast to the best advantage. All the world is invited to come to Boston's oM home week summer carnival. Something doing every minute for seven days Citv of Boston Publicity and Informa tion Bureau.'' Surely it mut appear that the muni cipal' press agent will soon be entitled to a place on the city ticket. And per haps it is proper that Presidential can didates and theatrical enterprises should not be permitted to monopolize the ac tivities, of a body of energetic brain workers. Boston's surrender may be accounted an Important victory for the publicity promoter. o . EDITORIAL 8ALAD. . It is well enough to dwell on the fact that four per cent of the Swiss marri ages lead to divorce, but it would lie equally interesting to know what per cent of divorce lead back to marriage. Divorcing gets to be a mere habit some time. It may be timely to remind the excit able that it takes more than an Armen ian fanatic and a drink-crazed bankrupt to inaugurate "a reign of lawlessness" on Union Square and Filth Avenue. Lecturer Tillman says Lecturer Bryan tacks fine, tactful judgment. But the public regards the one aa precisely as good a judge of gate receipts as the othef. Speaking of Bryan' continued can didacy a South Carolina paper says: "There seems to be no deliverance from this body of death." A timely notifica tion of the coroner might help. All seems quiet, on the Potomac, but six divisions of those yellow war dog have been pulled back tfrom the Japanese seat of war to the North Carolina cam paigrl. , .... 0 Missouri's crops in . general promise to be .larger than the average, with out including the 20 Democratic candi dates for governor, with more blowing in. When those new consular regulations are promulgated we shall know how to fir the American flag in a foreign land Meanwhile fly it according to Pole. Even the best of us may paint things darker than they ere. Knox says the President pitches hay. ; Bill Ward says: , "The settlement of the telegraphers' strike may easily be styled 'The call of the wires.' " HAD AN AWFUL TIME. But Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Cured Him. It is with pleasure that I give you this unsolicited testimonial. About a year ago when I had a severe case of measles I cot caught out in a hard rain and the measles settled in my etomach and bowels. I had an awful time and had it not been for the use of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea remedy, I could not have possibly lived but a few hours longer, but tnanics to thU remedv I am now strong and well, I have written the above through simple gratitude and I shall always speak a good word for this remedy.

H NOVEL engine of war a vessel of any kind, submarine or j aerial carrying an agent of unlimited potency of destruc- j tion, WITH NO SOUL ON BOARD, yet capable of doing all it is desgined for, as fully equipped with a fear- ! less crow in command a revolution in the present means The time is not far distant when all the tremendous wastes of war will be stopped, and then if there aro battles they will bo fought with water power and electrical waves. Everything points to tho development of a small vessel with inter nal combustion engines, extreme speed and few weapons of great de itmctiveness. But the new leviathan is admirably adapted to tho practical requirements of the day. In attack it could alone annihilate a nation's fleet. It is equally effective in defense. ; If equipped with proper acoustic and electrical applianoea it has little to fear from a nbmarine, and an ordinary torpedo will scarcely hurt it. That is why the first of , these monsters, built in nought. Now, there is a novel means for attacking a fortress of this kind, from 'shore or on the high seas, against which all its gun power and armor resistance are of no avail. : IT IS THE TIDAL WAVE. . Such a wavp can be produced with twenty or thirty tons of cheap explosive, carried to its destination and ignited by a noninterferablo telautomaton IT 18 FUTILE TO CONSIDER THE EFFECT OF AN ERUPTION OF, .SAY, , THIRTXi T0N , OBjftNlTROGXYCERIN COMPOUND ON A VE86EL 8ITUATED NEAR BY,' HOWEVER LARGE. , THE ENTIRE NA.V,y0F,A, GREAT COUNTRY,, IF MA68ED AROUND, WOULD BE DESTROYED. ' But it is instructive to inquire what such a wave could do to a battleship of the Dreadnought type at a considerable distance from iU origin. A simple calculation will show that when the outer circle has expanded to three-quarters of a mile the swell, about 1,250 feet long, still would be more than 100 feet in height from crest to normal sea level, and when the circle is one and one-quarter miles in diameter the vertical distance from crest to trough will be OVER 100 FEET, it K H The first impact of the water will produce pressures of threo tons per square foot, which all ovqr the exposed. surface of, say, 20,000 square feet may amount to 60,000 tons, eight times the force of the recoil of the broadside. THE PIRST IMPACT MAY IN ITSELF BE FATAL. During more .than ten seconds the vessel will be en tirely submerged and finally dropped into tho hollow from a height of about seventy-five feet, tho descent being effected moro or less like a free fall. IT THEN WILL 8INK FAR BELOW THE SURFACE, NEVER TO RI8E. . JAPS DISBAND CORKANS. Surround Garrison And Train Machine Gum On Sally Ports. SKOl'L, Corea, Aug.
