The Puritan Failaey.

A modern young poet named Con.
rad Aiken ,is versifying about a
steamer trip on Long Island sound,
and he finds the night full of Beauty
30 keen 1t seemed 1t must have sinned
=. - = It Is odd to encounter at this
late day SO perfect an expression Of
the great Puritan fallacy, the notion
that loveliness and sensitiveness are
more apt to be wrong, and somberness
and hardness right; that Joy in life is
closely allied to- wickedness, and that
a sad spirit q is almost necessarily
righteous. Z This doctrine Is part Of
the once general creed that life on this
earth is less spiritual experience
than the carrying out of q hard tech
meal contract-and that creed is
wrong. The New England frame of
mind has contributed some great
qualities to our national character, but
has failed to see clearly that the beau
ty of the earth is anything more than
temptation to the human soul. This
failure has had the most serious con.
sequences in discrediting religious
faith and in imposing hypocrisy upon
morals. 1t is part Of the real business
of our day to shake of these dusts OF
doctrine and to see this world for what
1t Is, home for the heart and soul Of
man, "serviceab1e for the life that now
Is; not, 1t may be. without promise or
that which Is to come."C Golfers.

SUBMARINE NOT new
As Far Back as 1853 Inventors
Had the Idea:
Frenchman Was the First to Ap.
proaeh the Subject With Any.

Though II Failed.

The first submarine was built IN
1853. An interesting parallel lies be-
tween the histories of the aeroplane
and the submarine, both accepted as
intensely modern inventions of mill.
tary science, but both the fruits OF
centuries Of striving and experiment.
In both devices the one Sbstacle
which for so many hundreds OF years
prevented success was the problem OF
motive power. This is shown as par
ticularly true since the installation of
a modern gasoline motor in the old
Langley cellular plane" proving the
principles of the early inventor were
correct.
Thus we find that the underwater
boat built by Frenchman named De
Son in the early seventeenth century
was complete success except that it
would not run.
The De Son vessel, built at Rotter-
dam, was " feet In length, with q
maximum height of IL feet and beam
of 8 feet, tapering to points at the end,
being not unlike the modern sub
marine in many of its lines. -.
De Son designed his boat to operate

and to hold an air supply for the crew
sufficient for three hours. The clock
work was supposed to turn large
paddle wheel and propel the boat for
eight hours on one winding. n
qye This quaint. submarine was armed
with iron pointed at the ends, with
which to ram ships and crush their
hulls under water. To- !.
De Son had unlimited faith in his
vessel and expressed it in the follow
ing flow, of ancient press agency, as
translated from an old Dutch print:
THE inventor of this ship will un.
dertake to destroy in single day a
hundred vessels, and such destruction
could not be prevented by fire, storm,
bad weather or the force of the waves,
saving only that the Almighty should
otherwise will it. Vain would it be
for ships lying in harbor to be regard.
ed as safe, for the inventor could
reach anywhere unless prevented by
betrayal. None but him could control
the craft. Therefore it may truly be
called the lightning of the sea. Its
power shall be proved by trip to the
East Indies in six weeks or to France
and back in day, for fast as a bird
flieth. can one travel in this boat"
However, when the boat was
launched it, refused to move. The
torque Of the clock motor was not able
to turn the paddle wheel propeller in
water, although the air test had been
promising. z'..J.' * 49,.

run nine knots an hour under the sea
many hours and which have cruising
range of nearly 5000 miles. .

RUSS ARE ACCUSED
Russians and brought before General
Rennenkampff-and apparently In

AuSSlduS duu UTUu6uI UclOIC NSuC1 al
Rennenkampff-and apparently in
keeping with his infamous orders to
kill all German foresters-was imme-
diately shot. Even the aged women
and children did not escape the muir.
derous frenzy of the Russian soldier.
THE murder of little child be-
tween two and three years Of age was
particularly cruel. Investigations show
how terrible was the end of a whole
family which fell victims of the Rus
sian soldiers lust for murder; the ia
Their was nailed to table, the child
to door and the mothers breasts
were cut off and her body slit open. In
another instance the tongues of the
husband and wife were nailed to the
table and they finally died.
THE cases of attack upon young
girls and women are innumerable.
Information regarding the cruel
treatment of German prisoners of war
by the Russian troops will be found in
additional appendices. In numerous
cases German soldiers who were taken
prisoners were robbed, spit upon or
otherwise ill treated without any rea-
son. A Russian officer threatened
some German soldiers with death be-
cause they would not betray their com.
rades, and had one of them actually
shot. Russian troops placed German
prisoners in narrow excavations before
their gun positions, apparently with
the intention that they should be
killed by shots from German guns.
"Cossacks have slashed off the heads
of German prisoners as they rode by,
and othersswere badly injured; some
were manned by having their limbs
cut off. One German prisoner was
bound to a horse gin in a most cruel
manner and allowed to starve to death.
Three hussars were found in a barn
hanging with their heads down ard
noses and ears cut off, indicating that
they must have died in excruciating
agony.
Russian soldiers have also not hest
tated to murder and barbarously MAIN
wounded German soldiers. They have
removed bandages from the wounded
that they might bleed to death; others
eyes have been stabbed out; tongues,
ears, fingers and feet have been cut
off and skulls crushed in.
In some cases these brutal deeds
have been performed with fiendish
cruelty. Illustrative of this, lightly
wounded soldier was found secured to
the floor Of veranda by a bayonet
stuck through the mouth, the flesh of
the lower arm was stripped of from
elbow to wrist the fingers were slit up
to the wrist. Another soldier who
had received a, skull injury was so
bound to a calf in a stable that every
time the animal moved its mouth the
exposed brain Of the soldier was
rubbed.
THE most atrocious thing of all was
the order OF the highest Russian mill
tary authority, found on a high Rus
sian officer, which directed that all
male inhabitants over ten years Of age
should be driven before the attacking
troops; this monstrous order, which
has blackened the name Of the Russian
commander in chief forever, was ap-
parently issued with the intention that
German soldiers in repulsing the Rus
slams would be compelled to fire on
their own people" ~ @
