The Cumberland Press details daily afternoon publication from 109 Baltimore street with phone numbers and mailed subscription terms. It includes Cumberland scenery notes describing the Narrows near Oldtown road and remarks on the Lusitania tragedy, urging calm and a thorough investigation before any action.
The piece urges冷冷, detached view of the Lusitania disaster as a WWI incident. It contrasts public sympathy with necessity for rational judgment. It notes England and Germany are at war, both sides flouting rules, and warns neutrals to avoid danger zones.
The article explains how U.S. relations with Germany rest on treaties including a 1828 agreement with Prussia. It notes Germany’s claim that the Frye sinking warranted compensation and argues the Gulflight attack, which killed three Americans, similarly supports reparations under that old treaty.
The text discusses international tensions over German actions and US treaty rights, noting potential protests and reparations. It highlights the impact of externals on Cumberland’s image amid visitors, fraternal convocations, and a circus, urging beautification. It also notes surging drug prices tied to stricter laws and recalls Franklin on trade.
The article recounts the birth of modern submarines by American inventor David Bushnell. It details the Turtle prototype, Ezra Lee’s failed 1776 dive against the Eagle, and Bushnell’s later mine experiments. It links his work to American naval history and notes later explosive innovations and wartime uses.
