the air. Just as l was struggling
with my boots there came another
whistling roar and another terrific de-
tonation. High in the air above the
auivering city still circled the German
aeroplane, informing by wireless the
German gunners, more than a score Of
miles away across the Belgian border
where the shells were hitting. Think
of 1t. Think Of bombarding a city at
a. range of % miles and every shot a
hit. That is the marvel Of this mod
ern warfare. Imagine the Grand
Central station in New York, the Pres
byterian hospital, the Metropolitan
Life building and the city hall being
blown to smithereens by shells fired
from Railway, N. j. 1t makes one
understand why the Germans are so
desperately anxious to reach Calais,
with the fort-crowned cliffs Of Dover
rising across the channel less than 20
miles away. One has to see
the ruin produced by a 38-centimeter
shell to believe it. If n hits a build
ing that building simply ceases to ex-
list. 1t crumbles, dis~integrates, dis
appears. l do not mean to say that
it's roof Is ripped off or thai n Of
it's walls is blown away. l mean to say
that that whole building crashes to the
ground as though fiattened by the
hand Of God. The Germans sent only
IL Of their shells into Burgues. but
the central part Of the town looked
like Market street in San Francisco
after the earthquake"

About MaeCraeken.-The evidence OF
the truth of the old saying that blood
we'll tell was hardly yer better pre-
sented than in the case Of the two
sons of Chancellor Emeritus Mac
Cracker Of New York University, re-
lates the Philadelphia Record.
One day his son, John Henry Mac
Cracker, was elected president Of La
fayette college and the next day an
other son., Henry Noble MacCracken,
was elected president Of Vassar col
lege.
The father of the two new college
presidents, when interviewed, said, -
know Of no precedent for such a
thing in the educational world and ii
is, Of course, very gratifying. 1 had
nothing to do with their appointments,
any they came without any recommen-
dations on my part. Indeed, / do not

Newspapers Must Have a RESPONSE

BILE Conference.-The News Of last Sat-
urday, published a personal statement
from Mr.. Munsey concerning the sale
of that paper to Stuart oliver. He said
he had bought the Baltimore News
with the view to making 1t one Of a
chain Of newspapers to be owned and
operated by one central organization.
Theoretically. he said, the idea looked
to be sound.
But the newspaper chain in the out
working Is not the same thing 1t looks
to be in analysis" Mr.. Munsey con-
tinued. 1T has a fatal defect, which
organization and capital cannot over
come-the defect that is felt in a
newspaper under a salarled manage
ment as contrasted with the news
paper under individual ownership
management.
Ownership management speaks a
language that the community under
, stands. 1t knows its accent, its in
donations and characteristics, whereas
with the salaried management there is
always something akin to the foreign
accent that cannot be disguised"

UNJUST DESTROY LONDON"
German Papers Demand More Air
Raids On England.

natao VI" .bS'
A very decided campaign in favor of
more air raids on England is being
| carried on in the German newspapers,
according to the latest copies which
have arrived. The leading Berlin
journals urge the government to turn
all attention possible to attacks on the
British people in their homes and open
ly declare that nothing less than the
| destruction of London will satisfy
Germany.
The leaders Of the propaganda call
upon the government to send the en-
tire fleet of Zeppelins to the heart OF
England to create havoc and ruin that
| cannot soon be forgotten. Perhaps
the most fiery and furious demand up
on the government in this respect is
printed in the Taeglische Rundschau.
Justice, every element Of human
Justice" says this paper, demands the
destruction of London. There is In
the whole world no better target for
aerial attack than the city Of London,
that gigantic, complex assemblage OF
lofty ancient warehouses, with their
| enormous stores Of all descriptions and
| their inviting situation in narrow and
t%ortuous streets. If only such raids can
be repeated again and again the result
| will be assured"
This paper makes the somewhat
astounding assertion hat France and
Russia will share Germany's Joy when
London is destroyed and England is
| pierced to the heart. The suffering
| entailed in such destruction, the paper
| continues, would not compare for a
moment to the misery in invaded East
Prussia, Belgium, the northern de-
partments Of France and the Polish
provinces.
England, it was says the paper,
(which ignited the conf1agration, and
England and her capital must not be
spared in consequence of that crime.
A single ruined East Prussian family
is worth n thousandfold the value of
the warehouses, the palaces and the
London merchants who, when incapa-
BILE of adding more sovereigns to theiI
money bags, staged and managed a
sa~nguinary war so that they might
delve deeper into the gold heaps"
The Nueste Nachrichten encourages
its readers by asserting that. London
already has been partly destroyed by
the Zeppelin raids and declaring that
the remainder Is soon to go.
Our brave air heroes" says this
paper, ARE not inspired by the blind
hatred or anger, but by a solemn and
religious awe at being the chosen in
struments Of a divine wrath. When
they see London breaking up in smoke
and fire they will live through a thou
sand lives of Unreasonable joy which
all at home must envy. At last the
long yearned for punishment will fall
on England and its people, liars and
hypocrites. for their overlooking meas
ure of sin for ages past"
The Deutsches TageZeitung says:
London represents not merely the
center Of commercial and financial life
in England, but the credit system OF
the whole empire and the Anglo-Saxon
race throughout the earth. 1t is this
venerable shrine of finance and on such
a terrestrial sphere that the Germans
must SOW bombs."-London dispatch
to New York Sun.

point Is that the government Is going
to back the banks and 1t demands hat
the banks back the farmer. President
Wilson's vigorous declaration in behalf
Of low interest rates IN cotton loans Is
especially noticeable.
The thing to do is for the farmers in
every neighborhood to organize, for
mally or informally, and find out just
what the local banks will do. Last
year it was repeatedly stated by the
minority Of bankers who were willing
to lend money on cotton, that few
farmers applied for such loans. Let
not that be said this year. We must
keep the crop from being rushed to
market at present prices, and that
means that farmers must avail them
selves of all the cooperation afforded
by banks-for many owners must
have advances in order to meet pres
ing obligations. And remember this:
1t hurts prices just as much for your
neighbours crop to be rushed to mark

quently we should have neighborhood
action everywhere, with the stronger
farmers joining to help the weaker
ones.
IF it were only twelve months la
ter and our Federal reserve banking
were in operation" Secretary McAdoo
said to the writer a year ago, I'VE
could handle this cotton situation
without any trouble" That system Is
in operation now, it is on trial, and
the United States government positive
ly asserts that the banks can finance
the crop-and at reasonable interest
changcs-if they will. It's up to the
system and the banks. And we appeal
to them to see hat aid is extended
not primarily to the commercial and
speculative classes, but to the man at
the bottom, the man whose sweat and
labor actually produced the cotton.
And unless such aid Is extended, it is
only fair to say that somehow or other
we are going to get a system that will
recognize its duty to agriculture as
we'll as to commerce, manufactures
and transportation and hat the whole
agricultural south will at once move
with hurricane-like forces for an alb
solutely new deal in banking.-Pro-
gressive Farmer.

the last man on parade. and when his

When his regiment was doing its
spell in the trenches, the early bird
was sent for by his officer, and as he
was creeping along the trench to-
wards the dugout a stray bullet caught
him in the shoulder, just as he was
outside the officers shelter.
After seeing hat he wasn't seriously
wounded, the officer explained with q

Curiosity.

Se'tSo
Within the wondrous wilderness,
II G will come with me-,
You'll meet an ugly giantess
Called Curiosity;
Her neck Is fifty cubits long,
And plant like a hose;
A horrible, sharp-pointed prong
Does service as her nose.
Her body's shaped-'twill cause sur
prise
Just like a question mark,
And with two little gimlet eyes
She sees when it's pitch dark.
She towers above the trees so tall
When upright she doth stand,
Like gentle Alice, you'll recall,
In haunted Wonderland.
A haunted child she once was, at
The age Of Eta May;
She poked her nose in matters tina,
Concerned her in no way;
So, mind your own affairs, nor let
Your prying self o'erdo,
Lest curiosity should get
The best, some day, of"you.
