LAST TRIBUTE TO NUREMBERG.
United States Cruiser Played German
Air as Ship Sailed Out to Destruction.

United States Cruiser Played German
Air as Ship Sailed Out to Destruction.
Berlin.-The strains of the German
national hymn played by the band of
an American cruiser anchored in the
port of Honolulu were the last friendly
greetings for the crew of the ill fated
German cruiser Nurnberg. The Nurn-
berg was destroyed in the battle off
the Falkland islands on Dec. s.
Relatives of sailor on the Nurn-
berg have just received his last letter,
in which he tells how ''three thunder
ing cheers were the response from us
as the band aboard an American cruis-
er which lay anchored in the port
struck up the tune of our national
hymn. 1t may be the final adieu for
US. It was a noble, inspiring thing for
those American sailors to do. They
knew that outside the harbor the enc
my in superior force was waiting to
send us to the whales for food"
The letter is dated Oct II, 1914, and
was written as the Nurnberg steamed
out to join Admiral Won Specs squad
ron, which was later sent to the bot
tom by the British squadron. The let
ter, together with other mail, was CIV
en- to the captain Of a neutral sailing
vessel which the Nurnberg met just
outside the port.

WOULD ADOPT HER OWN SON
Mother Tries to Recover Child Left at
Mission When a Baby.

Chicago-Patrick Warren Hastings
is four years old. Recently his moth
er, Mrs. Ida Mae Hastings Smith of
1913 Glenwood avenue, who has been
seeking in three courts to gain his
custody, filed a petition in the county
court seeking to adopt him. Freder-
lex L. Smith, the mothers present
husband, joined in the petition.
Patrick's father, Warren w. Hastings,
is dead, and before Mrs. Hastings be-
came Mrs. Smith the child had been
left at a mission where Mrs. Lee c.
Hackett of 1897 Washington boulevard
found him and took him home. Mrs.
Emily F. Roley Of 1927 Prairie ave-
nue. was appointed guardian.
The petition sets forth that the adop-
ton was sought in order to make the
child eligible to Inheritance.

FIvE-YEAR- OLD BOY
like HELEN KELLER
Deaf, Mute and Almost Blind,
Displays Wonderful Powers.

st. Louis.-Ernest Smith, five years
old, deaf, dumb and almost blind, was
taken from the City hospital three
years ago after his mother deserted
him by the Missouri branch, Interna-
tional Sunshine society, and is in a
fair way of becoming as remarkable as
Helen Keller, according to medical au-
thorities, specialists and instructors in
the Missouri School For the Blind.
The child, who three years ago was
not expected to live and who was de-
clared to be mel tally defective, is an
excellent proof of what care, the prop
er treatment and skilled attention will
accomplish At five he displays a
healthy devotion to the sports INDUCED
in by boys of his age the world over
and an alarming interest in the carry
ing out Of mischievous pursuits.
Since an operation performed several
months ago, which restored to him in
a. slight measure the use of his left
eye, he has displayed sense Of touch
and perception which have set his
elders wondering and which has deter
mined them to secure for him the best
advantages obtainable to make of him
self other than an ordinary mute.
He recognizes colors readily, is able
to distinguish his Sunday clothes from
those Of the every day variety, he is
quick to notice anything new in the
wearing apparel or speech of the Wis
itor in the home in which he is being
cared for, and he makes known his
likes and dislikes in an emphatic man.
ner in everything running the gamut
from foodstuffs to persons
In the opinion Of Mrs. f. W. Baum
hoff, for fourteen years president of
the Missouri Sunshine society and who
resigned that post in order to devote
her time wholly to caring for blind
children under school age, the child's
powers of observation are nothing
short of remarkable.

SECRETARY OF LABOR WILSON,.
organic act creating the department OF
labor, in it's ultimate analysis, presup-
poses dealing with trades unions and
through trades unions for the better
ment of wage earners, and properly
So" He added: "All trades union
movements may profit by the assist
ance of this department of the govern
ment. OF what value would it be to
mediation to apply to the department
of labor to interfere, to use it's good
offices in an effort to bring about an
adjustment of trade dispute, if the
workers themselves are unorganiZed,
if the workers themselves have no eco
nomic force that they can use?"
The postmasters throughout the
country will distribute the application
blanks to the unemployed, who will
fill them out and return them to the
postmaster to be forwarded to the de-
partment of labor postage free.
The applications for employment are
designed to cover practically all forms
of employment, both skilled and I'M
skilled, in addition to domestic work
and farm labor. The applicants are
required to answer numerous questions
as to age, height, weight, trade, ma
tionality, qualification for labor other
than trade mentioned, languages spo-
ken, name of two former employers,
reason for loss of last employment and
wages expected.
One difficulty in the present federal
employment bureau plan is the ques-
ton of transportation. On the appli-
cation blanks the unemployed are ask
ed to state what, if any, money they
can afford to pay for their transporta-
ton to a job, and the employer also is
asked to state what, if any, money he
will advance for transportation to
bring the unemployed to the job he de-
sires to fill It is obvious that the
average man out of work cannot be
prepared to pay his own transportation
if the railroad fare amounts to very
much.
Commissioner Of immigration CANT
netti in his last report suggested that
a part of the money received from the
immigration service, of which there is
now $40, 100000 in the treasury, might
be used for such a purpose. Should
the question of such utilization Of so
large a fund be brought to the atten-
ton of congress it is certain it would
be carefully scrutinized before consent
was given.

yers and laymen; and more especially
is it true of newspaper editors, who
should lead the people Alright. 1t is
this thrill for the betterment of man
kind that marks the true Democrat;
the lack of it, the Tory.
Our vocation is to see to it that Dem
ocracy rings true; that it makes for
good government; and that it serves
humanity.
Try to work out better Democracy;
and with an honest and true heart and
right mind of your own, say things
in good strong words. They will not
be said in. vain.
The party in this state must be kept
in line with that true Democracy
which, under Bryan's leadership, tri-

be on the right and triumphant side in
the denomination and reelection of
President Wilson,-wh has made good
in the matter of responsible leadership,

election.
1t is for US to make good as support

advocate true Democratic principles
without any shadow of turning back

men who will give such principles force
and effect. This is our vocation. This
is the task set before us.
