but they are pleasant places with .
SUFFICIENT halfmoon shining down
upon their waters.
Was there danger as the American
liner made its way through these
salt seas toward Liverpool? Perhaps.
but. II so. no passenger on board gave
expression to 1t In word or face.
There was a tenseness among the
men and women on the ship. but 1t
was an inward thing. No one with
sense believed for q moment that
submarine would sink an American
passenger chip. Thought dwelt on
the possibility. but 1t seemed to be
one which could come only ~ the
offspring Of an awful mistake.
Other American ships unquestion.
ably will continue to 90 through the
channel and the lesser sea unmen-
aced. There was the spice Of sense
of danger to make the trip exhilarat-
ing or depressing az spice affects the
human frame and mind. No one spoke
Of danger save rarely. and then the
speakers were men. The women said
nothing. In times that seem to be
those of emergency. even II they are
not. women always are stronger than
men. but few men there be willing to
admit the patent fact.
Show Up Vessels Name.
A. soon Al the lights Of the South Of
Ireland were sighted. and the Phila-
delphia entered what in truth II . war
zone. the sailors riEged two great
electric lamps and hung them over the
sides Of the vessel. where their con-
centrated beams fell on great white
letters announcing the name Of the
ship and the fact that she was IAN
American" The name could be read
over a long distance, for 1t was high
enough above the tumbling waters to
stand in the line Of vision. clear and
beacon.like.
Until the edge of the war zone out
lying Ireland was reached no fiag was
shown by the Philadelphia. When the
waters of so-called danger were ap-
preached the Stars and Stripes were
broken out at the proper station. Or
dinarily the British flag would have
been displayed forward as the ensign
OF the port Of destination. but the
American captain was taking no
chances with the British fag. either
forward. aft or amidships.
There were nve natives Of England
to one native of America on the Phila-
delphia, and for once at least ON the
high seas the Stars and Stripes looked
good to English eyes. At sunset the
flag came down and the bright elec-
trio lights were turned on to the name
and nation Of the ship. where within
certain sea limits all men might read
then.

any German craft unless the missile
were fired as the result Of gross error.
Some Americans in America may
think differently about the matter. 1t
would 30 seem to one who had to take
leave OF some friends more or less
fearful. One American on board said
to another when midway between
Queenstown and Liverpool, the place
Of reputed greatest danger. that there
was more worry on shore over the ship
than there was on its deck. He told
the truth.
Only one boat was swung out on its
davits by the crew of the Philadel-
phia: it could not have held by any
chance more than q dozen or fifteen
people: 1t was swung out long time
before the war zone was reached.
Why? No one knew. 1t is as much
of a puzzle today as it was the day that
the crew swung the lifeboat over the
water.
It has been said of other voyages
that passengers on ships passing
through the Irish sea at night did not
go to bed. or II they did. they turned
in with their clothes on. There was
only one passenger on the American
liner who stayed up all night through
the Irish sea. and he was a jolly. old
retired naval oficer who had served
his time and who could not get over
the habit of staying on watch.
The night before the Irish sea was
entered an Englishman who was play
ing bridge and side talking about the
matter of stewards tips said:
Perhaps the only steward we must
tip will be the one waiting on Davy
Jones"
England . Solemn Place.
, This word from the Britisher was
about the only one heard from a man
suggestive of any dread possibilities
from the sailing Of the war-zone sea.
The women. as have said. kept OF
the subject Of the war and OF danger
from start to finish. About an hour
before turning-in time fifteen or TWEEN
ty of the woman passengers gathered

Historic Capitol Building.

The Fourth of July this year
marks the seventy-ffth anniversary
of the laying of the corner stone Of
the historic Old Stone Capitol at
Iowa City. There is no other build
ing in the state about which cluster
so many memories of the establish
ment and early history of govern
ment in Iowa Here, from 1912 to
1857, the General Assembly held it's
sessions and passed laws of far reach
ing Importance, first for the terri
tory and later for the state In this
building were drawn up both the
constitution of 1916, under which
Iowa was admitted into the Union,
and the present state constitution
which has now been in operation
nearly sixty years. Here also was
passed the law which established the
State Historical Society of Iowa, an
institution which ever since has been
actively engaged in preserving and
recording the history of the state.
The laying of the corner stone of
the Old Stone Capitol on July 4,
1910, was great event for the
pioneers of the vicinity. Although
there were only few buildings
where Iowa City now stands, the set
tiers came from far and near to hear
the speeches, the principal one being
delivered by Robert Lucas, the gov
ernor of the territory of Iowa. AZ
terward there. was a big picnic din
ner on the plat of ground which had
been laid out for city park.
