 GOLFERS UNWITTINGLY
 HELP GERMAN FINANCES

A number of prominent Englishmen including Sir Edward Goschen. former British ambassador to Berlin, have unwittingly became purchasers of some of the latest German war loan bonds.
 The men in question were members of the Berlin Golf club, which just before the war raised by subscription among its members a. cash fund of about $65. for constructing and equipping a splendid new course near Potsdam- Pending the beginning of operations, the fund was on deposit with the Dresdener Bank of Berlin when war was declared. The money was sequestered and now has been in vested by order of its trustees in Ger man war loan securities.

The picture of St. George, mounted on a fiery steer, driving his lance into the body of a. fiery-tongued and surprised and dis conceretd dragon, is familiar to all readers of the patent medicine alma macs. The legend of the dragon and it's slayer goes far back into the pagan times, and in the Grecian mythology there are many wonderful tales of heroes who rescued fair maidens from the naws of 1oathsome dragons. In the ancient mythology, as well as in Christian history. these exploits of dragon slayers are supposed to be em- bIenaticm of the triumph of good over evil, of virtue over sin, of light over darkness, of Spring over Winter. Through all the early Christian 1e- gends we find the recurring myth of sin, represented by a. drogon being vanquished by a saint

CHAUNCEY M DEPEW, S1 TO-DAY, SAYS SAYS
 IS A WAR TO DEATH

ChaA1ncey Mitchell Depew, for half a Century one of the most prominent of American statesmen. lawyers and af- ter-dinner orators, was born in Peeks- kill, N- r., eighty-one years ago to- day. Like so many others of his coun- trynen, the former Senator was in Europe when the nations unIoosed the dogs of war. Upon his return he de- clared that his wife had packed her effects in two hours~-the first time she had ever prepared for journey in such brief time, and probably the last MT. Depew found his well known side whiskers to be a sort of a passport through France, and he was cheered wherever his train stopped, the Frenchmen thinking he was Eng fish. In Germany the facial embeI- lishment had quite the opposite effect, and he had to show his papers.
 From his observations in Europe, the ex-Senator reached the conclusion that this is to be war to the death, and that it will not cease until one side or the other has reached the point of exhaustion.
 In England," he declared, 'sthe people realize that this is a real war, war of religion; the religion of political freedom against the religion of militarism. In England there is a solid war party. Practically every body is for war, and nobody for peace
