various adversities-their enemies
should reap their harvests, etc. Thus
we may know the answer to Gideon's
question as TO why God allowed the
distress in which they were. The
Israelites had not been faithful to
their Covenant
A proof OF this unfaithfulness is
found in our lesson and it# context.
Gidcon's father was caretaker OF the
groves Of Baal and Ashtaroth. Their
images were near his home-appar-
emily on his property.
The groves we're large posts. sig

IDOL: and these we're maintained by
the people Of Gideons own time. his
father being one Of the principal Of
them. Here was the secret of
lsraels subiection to the Midlanites.
Although Gideon apparently did not
surely know who his visitor was,
nevertheless something in the con-
versation persuaded him that he had
an honorable guest He prepared
feast and brought it to him. Instead
of eating IT, the angel directed that
the soup be poured out on a rock
about the food, and then touched the
food with his staff A miracle fol-
lowed. demonstrating that the visitor
was the angel of the Lord-fre pro-

the food. which thus was accepted as
a sacrifice, Immediately the angel
vanished; for he had accomplished
his mission.

The same night following the visit
Of the angel. the Lord made further
revelation to Gideon. instructing him
to destroy the idols upon the property,
to overthrow the altar of Baal, and to
build instead an altar to Jehovah, to
kill one Of his fathers bullocks and
Herewith to make a burnt offerin Z
unto the Lord, using for the purpose
the wooden pole, or grove which
formerly did honor to Baal. The work

ADMIRAL TRUPPEr OF GERMANY
warns C0MPATR|0TS AGAINST ANY
ACTION TO BRING BREACH With U. 5.

Berlin. July 5.-Via London, 40 P.
M.-Admiral Oscar Won Truppel CON
tributes an article today to Der Tag,
warning his compatriots not to under
estimate the danger Of breach with
the United States, and asking them to
weigh seriously the question whether
the value of Gefmany's submarine
warfare against British commerce is
great enough to justify a continuance
of its present form at the expense of
a rupture with the transatlantic ma
ton.
The article Is remarkable, not only
for it's open statement regarding the
wide-reaching effects which the par
ticipation of America in the hostilities
might exercise on the future course OF
the war-effects which Admiral Won
Truppel says are greatly under-esti-
mated in Germany-but also as con-
tribution from naval officer.
All the naval publicists of Germany
hitherto heard from have been devot-
ing their energies to accelerating pub
lie opinion against any modification of
the submarine campaign and endeav-
oring to prevent modification Of the
submarine campaign and endeavoring
to prevent or limit concessions to
American demands in the Forthcoming
German note to Washington.

BERLIN REPORTS EXCHANCERvIEWS
BETWEEN EIv!E : THE UNITED STATES AND AND
eERMANX,FoR SA1!sEkI9e NOTE

Berlin July 5.-Va, London, July g.
ESQ A. Mt is learned that a prelim-
mary exchange of@views is now pro-
ceeding between the United States and
Germany regarding the nature Of the
forthcoming GO han reply to the
American note respecting submarine
warfare and the Lusitania incident
This is responsible for the delay in the
delivery Of the German note the trans
mission Of which to the American gov
eminent was expected today.
The efforts of the diplomats on both
sides are directed toward evolving,
through an informal discussion, a for
mula for a note which would be ac-
ceptable both to Germany and the
United States and it is believed that
the note when it is presented and
published will have reasonable
chance Of furnishing basis for salts
factory settlement Of the submarine
question.
In consonance with this plan, the
German under secretary for foreign af-
fairs, DR.. Alfred Zimmerman, and the
American Ambassador. James w. Ger
ard, had a conference on Saturday, at
which the nature of the draft of the
note as elaborated in the German pa
pers was outlined to the ambassador
and discussed from various angles.
The greatest reserve is being MAIN
tanned by both sides.

Admiral Truppel writes:


"German-American war or even a
rupture Of diplomatic relations, the ef-
feet of which virtually would be great.
would injure German prospects more
seriously than many believe. Although
America at first would be able to con-
tribute little to the military strength
of the entente allies except by an ac-
celebration of the munitions, it could
in time cooperate with considerable
land and sea forces and with first class
submarines and aeroplanes in the COM
plete isolation Of Germany. 1t also
could exercise such pressure upon the
few remaining neutrals that these
would be arrayed, actively or passive
ly. in the ranks of our enemies"
Admiral Won Truppel discounts the
stories Of earlier existing American
agreements with Great Britain against
Germany, explaining that this is most
improbable owing to the American dip
lomatic traditions.
But it is undeniable." he says, Gin
spite Of President Wilson's unquestion-
able desire to reach peaceful solution
of the problems that the sympathies Of
a majority Of Americans are on the
side of England, and that only spark
might be necessary under certain con-
ditions to kindle this feeling into a
hostile outbreak" The kernel Of the
problem from a German standpoint
concludes Admiral Won Truppel, lis
contained in this question:
Most Effective Warfare?
Can we hope, so far. as we are able
to foresee, to force England to its
knees through submarine warfare
against her commerce.?
IF the answer is in the negative, our
submarines can find better employ
ment against hostile warships, partic-
ularly in the hunting grounds Of the
Mediterranean, the Dardanelles and
the Suez canal. Submarine warfare
against merchantmen in that case
could be modified or abandoned to OBJ
tain more favorable neutrality from
the friends of America which would be
Of great value to Germany after the
war.
IF the answer Is in the affirmative,
the law Of representation would JUS
tify the position to which England has
forced US, and we can calmly accept
all the consequences of it,"
