THE ISLAND OF uELGoLAND
Gcrmany's Great Naval Stronghold is
Melting Away.

British newspapers are advising
their government to blow up the little
island Of Uelgoland, Gcrmany's naval
stronghold in.the North Sea The is
land is less than oue-third of a mile in
superficial area. and, with modern ok
plosiycs 1t would not be difficult 70
anuihilatc it completely If the British
fleet could get close enough 10 batter
II for few days with explosive shells.
But" as the Weekly Scotsman SAYS,
"it is necessary, first TO catch the
hare"
The island of Helgoland is one Of
the most strongly fortified spots In
the world, fleets OF German war yes
sells and submarines hover around II,
and all the nearby waters are thickly
sown with mines. II Is impossible. a
present, for vessels Of the British navy
TO get near il. II has been such
thorn in the side Of the British admir-

does that the proposal is made, in all
seriousness. TO destroy the island at
any hazard, to simply overpOwer the
forces protecting It. and then scatter
the sands and soft rock formations Of

LONDON, May S.--An American
girl who recently volunteered for
service with a Red Cross ambulance

count Of hec first case
THE COmmandant doctor with
whom / was assigned to work had
taken me far up toward the front,
whore a Belgian battery was sta
toned While he attended to some
trifling injuries, there came the sound
OF Cannonad,ng and news that the
Germans were attacking the very sec
tion where we were working.
suddenly, at what seemed the last
minute Of safety two Belgian stretch
er-bearers, without strctcher,
rushed up to me. They said there
was man Dadly wounded somewhere
up the road / found a stretcher and
went off with them to look Cor him.
we went on and ON. IT probably
wasn't more than 500 yards, but it
seemed to me very long ways, it
seemed impossible to find the house.
Then some women came running and
pointed cut the place. The stretCher-
bearers hurried off with their
strctchcr followed,
THE man, horribly hurt, with a
wound ike red pit below his
shoulder blades, was brought and
laid on the stretchcr. He lay there
quietly on his side in posture OF
utter resignation to anguish.
"He was a Belgian peasant, Clum-
silly built; he had a broad, rather
ugly face, narrowing suddenly as the
fringe Of his whskers became a little
struggling beard. But to me he was

WHERE THE INCHES COUNTED
British statesman's Remarkably Neat
Retort to Chairman's Shaft
Of "Wit."

Lloyd-George's wit on the platform
is well known, but here is one of the
neatest retorts he ever made.
He was addressing a meeting in
South Wales, according to Pearson's
Weekly, when the chairman, thinking
to be witty at the chancellor's expense
remarked to the audience that he was
a little disappointed in Lloyd-George's
appearance.
81 had heard so much about Mr.
Lloyd George" he said, that / nat
urally expected to meet big man in
every sense; but, as you can see fol
yourselves, he is very small in STAT
ure."
Many an orator would have been
grievously upset by such an unfortu
nate beginning to the proceedings. but
not so d-George.
II am grieved to find,'' he said, with
mock seriousness, that your chairman
is disappointed in my size, but this is
owing to the way you have here OF
measuring a man. In North Wales we
measure man from his chin up, but
you evidently measure him from his
chin down."
After that the chairman made nc
more personal remarks.
