DIDN'T KNOW WAR WAS ON
How Emden Coaled at Port of British
Possession.


A belated but amusing account OF
the German cruiser Emden's visit to
the island of Diego Garcia, a blissful
spot in the Indian ocean, has reached
London by mail
Diego Garcia is British possession
peopled by forty Europeans and SOC
natives. The great world war had
been under way for four months when
the Emden reached the little island
but the people Of the island had re-
coived no mail for six months and
had no suspicion of what had been
passing. So when the Emden sailed
in one day the elderly manager" OF
the island paid a pleasant call upon
Capt. Won Muller.
The Emden had come to Diego
Garcia, explained Capt. Won Muller
to refill her coal bunkers and remove
the weeds that had been growing un-
der her hull. But when the island man.
ager asked what brought the ship tc
that out -of-the-way corner Of the
world, the captain replied: Il am car
rying on manoeuvres with the British
navy
The manager accepted the explana
tion and passed from the subject
There were other news events OF
greater interest to him than nava
manoeuvres. What of the home rule
bill? Was there really any risk OF
civil war over 1t?
Capt. Won Muller professed to have
no information on that subject. But
he did know, he said, that the pope
was dead.
The captain was so pleasant gen.
orally that the old manager said he
would have liked to pay him a second
visit had not an accident to the ma
chinery Of his motor boat prevented
him. Won Muller was distressed tc
hear this and sent two of his en-.
gineers ashore at once to repair the
damage.
The manager was charmed with thi.
spirit of courtesy and entreated the
captain to come ashore and allow hin
to make some hospitable return. Bu
the captain declined. The manoeuvre.
in which he was participating, ht
| said. required all his time, and HI
must not allow anything to delay hi.
departure.
Before the Emden sailed away, how.
ever, the captain sent his card to the
manager with farewell message, ant
with the card bottle Of wine and 6
box Of cigars.

Putting Of Until Tomorrow.-In
one of his sermons this week, Dr.
Chapman, the noted evangelist, who
is conducting a series of meetings in
Charlotte, spoke in part, as follows:
There is an old legend which says
that once upon time conference
was called in hell at which the devil
presided. He is about to send his
agents to and fro throughout the
earth. and is asking them what will
be their message. One said, I will
tell the people that the Bible is not
true and satan declined to send him
on his mission because the Bible is its
own strongest proof and every trans
formed life as we'll as every saved
sinner is an unanswerable argument
for the Book. Another said, L will tell
the people that Christ is not divine,
but satan said, What folly! His
prophecies telling of his coming, their
exact fulfillment his gracious life, his
wonderful preaching, his divine pow
er, his indescribable DEATH the null
titudes he has blessed all these prove
