Boys and the Fairgrounds.

Justice Hughes, of the United
States supreme court: l do not know
of any better way to teach boy to
be honorable and straight than to give
him a chance to play with his com
rades. In the playground he learns
without any suggestion of rebellion
against instruction and precept and
preaching. He learns it because he
does not want anybody else TO cheat
him, and Is down" on the boy that
does not play fair. And in the long
run. because he is down" on the boy
that does not play fair. he will estab-
lish standards of conduct which we
must maintain in the community and
particularly in our great cities. If
there Is one thing that We need more
than another it is the constant empha-
sis among our citizens OF that spirit
of fair play, that willingness and give
and take, that generosity in defeat
and that lack of assertiveness in vic
tory which we identify with true
sport, and which is learned best of all
in childhood upon the playground.

Editor The Gate City:
lust a few lines from the English
channel near Dover where We have
been prisoners OF war of Great Britain
since Friday, July 25. We get prac-
tically no news from the outside world
and know little OF what has happened
for the last two weeks. It is evident,
however. that we are in the war zone;
Saturday evening four Zeppelins flew
not far from our steamer over to Eng
land. followed at some distance by
four English aeroplanes which, how
ever. soon gave up the chase. Long
before we entered the war zone the
life boats were hung out ready to be
lowered in case Of danger, at a mo.
ment's notice. Some ladies became
almost historical, especially when
they saw their names and the number
of their life boat posted in promi-
nent place. 1t made the men also feel
somewhat uncomfortable.
Life boat No 20 was to carry me
and sixteen other passengers. mostly
women, to some place Of safety. Pro-
visions we're placed in the boat to
last US a few days. Thanks be to
God, We needed neither boat nor pro-
visions. An English submarine, Els,
passed close to our steamer. It caused
both excitement and admiration. We
saw many patrol boats, auxiliaries, de-
stroyers and also a chain intended to
antrap German submarines.

ness in the beginning. the Ice soon
broke under the melting rays OF a
common humanity. and I am sure We
all felt that war, If not crime, Is a
sad heritage of sin committed by in.
dividuals as well as nations. The civil
liked nations may differ one from the
other in degree OF culture and in ma
tional habits, but at bottom they are
all the same. and war attempts to
break through this bottom.
The thirty-two doctors and seventy
five nurses who so herotcally sacrifice

mon humanity whether found in an
Englishman or in a German. left us,
together with other English passen-
gers, at Falmouth, England, Thurs
day, June "a. We were then allowed
to proceed to Dover where We are
now to all intents and purposes, prIs.
oners OF war. The wireless telegraph
Of the New Amsterdam had to be re-
moved and scarcely any communica-
ton is possible, either with other
steamers or the land, Only one first
class passenger was allowed to land
near Dover and take from there an
other steamer to the continent, be-
cause he was said to be personally &C.
quainted with one Of the cabinet min
listers. Another first class passenger
by the name of Mingram, also landed
at Dover. but as a prisoner of war;
it is claimed that his passport was
not satisfactory.
Ten English soldiers OF the regi-
ment Duchess of Devonshire," took
from our steamer four German reserv-
lists who worked on it as stokers, pre-
tending to be Of Louxemburg, or Bel
gian and Danish nationalities. Two
Of them had been machinists on one
OF the largest German steamers. the
captain OF which tried to reach Eu-
rope as cook. but is now also pris-
oner of war. We are held SO long at
Dover on account of our cargo. The
first officer told me that the freight
which the steamer carries is so enor-
nous. that fifty men are kept busy a
whole dav and night Just to make out
a full bill of lading The whole trip
was exciting and full Of incidents.
Near Dover a large English freighter
collided with our steamer, everybody
ran, captain. crew and passengers. I
thought we had been torpedoad. Both
ships were slightly damaged. In the
evening of june 80, we heard the roar
OF cannon from the coast Of France.
Today, July ~ we are on our way to
