The girls had been accustomed to wading at this point but within the last few days the gravel dredge had been working here nd had dredged out a deep hole. Miss Brown was not in the water but the other four waded out nlong the shal low bar. Two of the girls suddenly found themselves in deep wati'r n nil culled for help. , Miss Dorothy Haueh rushed til the uid of her .sisters ntul found liermJf floundering in the deep watitr. Their cries nttraeted the attention of John Tait and George Manning, who were crossing the river in a boat to go swimming on the other side.

There are four things which I humbly conceive are essential to the well being I may even venture to say to the existence. of the United States as an independent power: First, an indissoluble union of the states under one federal head. Secondly, a sacred regard to public justice. Thirdly, the adoption of a proper peace establishment, and Fourthly, the prevalence of that pacific and friendly dispo sition among the people of the I'nited States which will induce them to forget their locnl preju dice;) and policies, to make those mutual concessions which are requisite to the general pros perity ami in some instances to sacrifice their individual ad vantages to the interest of the community. i i ; i IGHT AND IIS RESULTS IS Immediate End Is the Same But Vast Difference As i Years Roll By San Francisco, July 5.

Have you not learned that not stocks or bonds or stately houses or lands or products of mill or field are our country! It is a spiritual thought that'is in our minds. It is the flag and what it stands for: it is its glorious history; it is the high fireside and the home; it is the high thoughts that are in the heart, born of the inspiration which cornea of the story of the fathers, the martyrs to'liberty; it is the graveyard into which our grateful country has gnth- ered the unconscious dust of thoso who died. Hero in these things is that thing we love nnd call our country rather than anything that can be touched or handled. Let me hold the thought that we owe a duty to our country in peace as well as in war. Perhaps never in the history of our nation have we been so well equipped for war upon the land as now, and yet we have never seen a time in our history when our people were so smitWn with a love of peace.

"I welcome whole lienrtedly the (leininn socialists man ifesto calling upon the workers of oth er belligerents to ais their endeavors for pence." , This was the statement of Knmsny McDonald, noted labor leader of Kng land, in tin interview with the I'nited Press today. "It is only the beginning and must bii regarded us such," .McDonald add ed. "1 regret that the manifesto deals so much with the pnst, because we are not quite in the temper to dis cuss that just yet. At the same time I think it is the duty of the work ing classes of other belligerents to re spond to this manifesto and state the conditions under which they are pre pared to support icnre propaganda." McDonald is the lender of the inde pendent labor party, the powerful so cialist wing ot itic British labor move ment. "The people of flreat Britain re sponded to the i-nll of Belgium for aid, and while so doing, made up their minds this would be the Inst Kuropean war," he declared in taking up the detailed discussion of the (ieriiinn man ifesto.

DELAY- mm REPL1 May Mean Endless Exchange of Diplomatic Notes and Nothing Done NOTE TO BE MODERATE IN TONE IS BELIEF Reply To Rejoiner On Lusi- tania May Not Be Sent For Another Week By John Edwin Nevliv Washington, July ". Why Germany has held up the reply to President Wil son's lust I.iisitnnia note for ''import ant changes'' was still pu..liug official dom todav. The opinion is general, however, that there will be no devia tion of th tncilinlory policy determ ined upon by the imperial government. The I'ear 'todav is that the attempt of the liner Armenian to escape, from a submarine last week, or the ramming of submarines by British merchant ships in n y be seized up"ii as an excuse to re open the entire question ot sun marine attacks, lending to interiuin able diplomatic exchanges. This, Presi dent. Wilson is most anxious to avoid, but some believe the attempt of the Armenian to escape and the ramming of submarines may be cited as proof that rules of visilntiou and search of vessiTs cannot be followed under pres ent conditions. This would bear out enrlv forecasts that llermanv asliiM a gunrnntee of safety for submarines from nltucks by merchant ships if the practice of torpedoing vessels without warning is to lie dim oiitiniicd. (lermanv's new note is hardly ex- I ted before the latter Pint of this week. If it is evasive it is believcii President Wilson will ignore the de tails taken up hv Berlin and ask fur a direct reply to the main ilcmnml as to the safety of Auicrinins at sea. Change A Mystery.
