- WENTY FIVE years ago Great
Britain traded patch of $50
acres to Germany for the island
of Zanzibar 1t is probable that
King Georges government to-
day would be willing to give several
Zanzfbars to get back that bit of land.
Lord Salisbury made the trade and it
was thought at the time to be very adj
yantageous to the English, but that
small piece of the earth's surface was
the island of Helgoland and so far in
this great war it has eapably protected
the coast of Germany from attacks
by the British fleet An Il" shaped
island in the North sea, &c miles from
the mouths of the Elder, Elbe and
Weser rivers, Helgoland has come to
be known as the Gibraltar of the
North sea, and the name is not mis-
applied.
In ancient times Helgoland. then

was sacred to the Goddess Hertha, and
was known as Fosetisland, from the
Tristan Goddess Foseta who had tenn
pie on the island From the middle OF
the tenth century it was an independ
ent republic, but came into the posses
sion of the dukes of Schleswig in the
fourteenth century, and was captured
by Denmark in the beginning of the
eighteenth century. The latter coun-
try ceded the island to Great Britain
in 1914. and Germany came into pos
session of it in 1890.
In times of peace Helgoland has a
population of about three thousand
Frisians who are supported chiefly by
fishing, by serving as pilots and by
catering to the wants of strangers who
go there for the sea bathing
Germany's Good Trade.
At the time of the trade with Ger.
many Lord Salisbury's diplomacy was
praised as clever coup and the
kaiser, just then taking his place in
world politics, was laughed at for

Dunkirk Citizens Refuse to
Hide In Cellars When Bombs
Rain From German Planes

letter which the mayor has posted
throughout the town. you are brave,
know. but nevertheless sensible. But
Il Is folly to remain In the streets
when the German aeroplanes fiy over
our city and I beg you TO go to your
cellars ct the first sound OF the
warning signal from the Tocsin. II
IA brave 10 risk ones life when some
benefit "a to be gained, but II Is folly
and not bravery to put ones life In
Jeopardy out OF sheer thoughtless-
ness or bravado. Therefore. 90 TO
your cellars when the alarm Is first
given"
The extraordinary thing about this
warning IL that no one obeys II. The
other night Dunkirk was shelled for
a fourth time. Eighty bombs were
dropped and there were five more fu-
nerais and the crowded hospitals be-
came more crowded. for there were
20 more wounded to care for.
The good folk OF Dunkirk will not
20 to their cellars. The sight is too
wonderful 10 miss. At one time they
saw four French aeroplanes chase
seven German planes through the
sky: and who would stay In cellar
while show like that was going on?
The second time, Is German aero
planes lowered over the town and the
Dunkirkians rushed to the streets to
watch for another sky battle. Sure
enough, six French and three English
planes rushed into the skies toward
the Germans who went away from
there almost immediately.
And then. Sunday or two ago. "a
German machines passed over Dun
kirk In o great hurry, heading across
the channel toward England and IL
sight-seers were killed, . including
seven children.
Then came the fourth raid. a.
How to get the folks to lose inter-
est In such stirring affairs and rush
to their Easements is problem too
great either for the mayor or the
military authorities. Thirty-two thou
sand civilians live In Dunkirk. and
you can't arrest them all In bunch.
The German lines are only IS miles
from here and IT'S only Commute
ride In q nier from the German
hangers TO Dunkirk. 90 there II every
reason to believe that Dunkirk may
expect another air raid at any day
light moment. Aeroplanes do not
raid o'nights. II II only the Zeppe-
lin that can do night work. and, 90
far, Dunlkirk has had no night at
tacks.
