M..v w the more you think about it the truer it appears. And that reminds me of that poem, I believe written by Father Ryan, about a city without ruins and so on. You know I can't quoie poetry unless I ?ave it before me, but I remember something about a poem of that kind. If these two sayings are true, I am afraid we are not a live city, but we may have the spirit of patriotism and of greatness because j there are ruins all about us. But just look at Rosemont and Its condition. Oh, that Rosemont. Go and see it and determine for yourself, and determine if it is beautiful. You know-there are different ideas of beauty just like there are different tastes and ttere is no disputing about tnem. i recKon. Memorial day is coming on apace. It would be nice if some one who bas authority were in position to see to it that Rosemont was put in better condition, if it were only once a year, and there is no better time to do so than at this memorial occasion. 1 am not guessing about the condition of Rosemont, because I have been over there. I read in the Columbia State tt-:e other day where the reporter asked one of the old vets to tell him a story about the war. The old fellow said: "The main thing I can tell you is that it was an awful place to be in, and them that was not there can tell you more about a battle than most that was in it." Now tfrat old fellow spoke a ! great truth. And most of them that j writes about it and many of them are prominent in times of peace were not : heard of in times of battle, but it is | all right for them to keep the memory RESTORE PULLMAN ORDER REQUIRES I SLEEPER (JOES 0> AGAIN NEXT' SUNDAY.

In the afternoon they commenced an attack on both sides of the Ypres-Pilket higj road, but the attack j broke down completely 200 metres in front of our positions. "A sprnnri F.nsrlish advance further to the east during the evening had the same result. Here also the enemy suffered heavy losses. The enemy did not attack on the western bank of bbe canal. "In t!':e .Champagne district an extensive French group of fortifications was taken by us by storm during the night north of Le Mesnil and successfully defended and maintained against several counterattacks.

AUSTRIA* SUBMARINE SINKS FRENCH CRUISER Crew Sleeping When Sadden Explosion Brings Disaster?No Sign of tt ? i Jtier Assoiiuiiu Brindisi, Italy, Tuesday, April 27. (via Paris, April 28, Delayed).?The French cruiser Leon Gambetta has been torpedoed by the (Austrian submarine U-5 in the Strait of Otranto, the waterway leading to the Adriatic sea. The first report of tfre destruction 3f this cruiser came from the semaphore station of Santa Maria Lucia. Relief vessels were seni oui irvm Brandisi, Taranto, Otranto and Bari. It has not yet been ascertained whether the attack occurred within trie territorial waters of Italy. The Austrian submarine U-o is the r.raff- tr-nt a few davs ago board- | 3d the Italian steamer Jolanda. The Leon Gambetta parted company i with the French cruiser Jules Ferry last night to cross the strait of Otranto to co-operate with othed French ships in an attempt to block the Aus- j trian fleet if it should seek to leave the | Adriatic. Although the Leon Gambetta j showed no lights and adopted the other customary precautions, there was no suspicion of danger. At midnight the warship was about 20 miles from Cape Santa Maria Lusia. At sea nothing appeared on flbe horizon. Officers and men remained i calm, and, the survivors say, their first | though was to detect and attack their i assailant. They scanned the sea for; a, periscope, but in vain. The cruiser was listing rapidly, the ! commander ordered signals for help and lowering- of boats. Some of fcne j men leaped overboard in the bare hope of saving- themselves. Others were washed off the decks. The commander refused to abandon his ship. None of the survivors was able to j say how long it was before help ar- j rived. It was probable several ihours elapsed. The French armored cruiser Leon Gambetto displaced 12,416 tons and carried 700 to 800 officers and men. She was built at Brest in 1903, was *86 feet long, 70 1-4 feet beam, had aj mean draft of 26 1-2 feet and carried four 7.6 guns, 16 6.4-inch guns, 24 i 2-i>ounders and five 18-inch torpedo t tubes. She cost $5,880,000. j COL GAILIARD HONORED j AS PANAMA'S HEROj CTLEBRiA ( I I ^IS BE>*A>IED FOR; SOI TH CAROLINIAN.

David DuBose Gaillard, engineer corps, U. S. A. Col. Gaillard as a member of toe Isthmian canal commission had charge for more than six years of the central division of the zone, extending from Gatum to Perdo (Miguel and including Culebra. Debilitated by the tropical climate, he so exerted thim- j self, against urgent medical advice, i in his zeal to forward Ibis work that his strength was overtaxed. His death, therefore, at Johns Hopkins hospital, December 7, 1913, was directly ascribable to zeal for the success of the canal project. Col. Gaillard was second to Col. Goethals. Had he lived he would fcave been placed in charge of the canal zone, tie nanaiea engineering proDlems far more difficult than any that his associates in the commission encountered. Born at Fulton, Sumter county, South Carolina, in 1859, David DuBose Gaillard was educated at Mount Zion academy, Winnsboro, S. C., and at West Point. He was married in Winnsboro, shortly after fee enteped the army, to Miss Katherine Ross Davis, of Columbia. Mrs. Gaillard survives her 'husband, with a son, Pierre Gaillard. Col. Gaillard's more important tourg of duty were as follows: Colonel,: Third U. S. jV. engineers, June 7, 1898,' to May 17 1899; assistant to Capt. W. I M. Black and in charge various surveys and harbor improvements at. St. Augustine, Tampa and Withlacoochee river, Florida, 1887-91; member of the international boundary commission, United States and Mexico, 1891-4; in charge of Washington aqueduct, and j other projects in vicinity of Washington, 1895-8; assistant to engineer commissioner of District of Columbia, 1899-! 1901; in charge of all river and harbor i improvement, Lake Superior district,; 1901-3; member of general' staff corps, and engineer officer, Northern division, j 1903-4; on duty at Army War college, i iQni-ft' nf militarv informa-! tion division, army of Cuban pacifica- j tion, at Marianao, Cuba, October, 1906, j to February, 1^07; member of the Isth- j mian canal commission and director j of the Panama railroad from March 16, \ 1907, to.fcis death.

Washington, April 28.?A second note from the United States to Germany concerning the sinking of th ; American ship "William P. Frye by the commerce raider Prinz Eite Friedrich was dispatched to Berlin today. It is understood it accepts tftx-i German proposal to compensate tie owners of the Frye under the terms c.' the old Prussian-American treaties oi 1799 and 1828, regardless of any prize ^ ?a. j uuux l utrcisiuu. These* treaties provide that contraband belonging to the subject of either party shall not be confiscated by ths other in any case, but may-be detained < or used in only consideration of payment of the full value. While willing to agree to payment for fcbe Frye, it is understood that the United States stands by the orig inai protest against xne aesirucuun u. the sfoip. No claim for the cargo wa.s made, however, because it was sold en route to British dealers. !An effort is said to have been made in the latest note to narrow the application of the old treaties so tibac no precedent will be created warranting the lodgment under them in future of claims against the American government under the favored nation clauses.
