Unlike other German commerce destrovers such as
the Emden the Moewe not only kept the for months
capturing 15 vessels most of which destroyed but
she found her way through the close British blockade and
through British home waters that must have swamed
with Warships, back to German port This probably
the greatest achievement of the German commander We

one Of her prizes, the Appam under the command of
Junior officer, sailed into Hampton Roads 1t is now
learned that the mine which destroyed the British battle
ship Edward Ill was planted by the Moewe.

the Moewe not only did her work most effectively but

THE YOUTH or TODAY.

Dr VI III Hlbben, president OF Princeton university,
holds to the opinion that too much luxury too much
comfort is bad thing for the youth Of the country He
rs not alone In that belief Others have expressed it
others prominent in national as he But lit
tie more significance attaches to it perhaps when it
comes from who makes it his BUSINESS as DR. Hib-
ben does or for that matter the president Of any
great university does to study the needs and requirements
and problems of the young men of the nation
The great danger lies in the fact says he that our
young should have all sides of them comforts and
pleasures which make them consider themselves alone
Many of youths Indifferent to everything under
heaven except how they maintain their comfort and
convenience. They have done or experienced nothing
that would make them ready for service and sacrifice
Naturally such statement this invites If it does not
command comparison between the conditions surrounding
the young man OF today and the young of yesterday
1t would be difficult = remarked recently ..to
imagine young of time sacrificing themselves
the altar of principle many young men, north and
south, did in the days Of the civil war"
There is nothing in this utterance indicate that to-
days youth would be found wanting the hour Of trial
It says merely what Dr. Hibben saysthat young men
to be less sturdy drobust in character Our fore
fathers did not find life easy Existence for them was
struggle. They were acquainted with hardship; they
touched elbows with priyation. Experience tempered
them There must be awakening Of the old spirit Of
our fathers and our fathers fathers says Dr. Hibben
had integrity of spirit which do not have Mill
tary preparedness will be of avail in time of danger
unless have this spirit Of conservation Here are
criticism and counsel hand in hand Both might be pom
dered to advantage by parents who in mistaken affection
make life too easy for their and by who mar
sefshness, thus saved from inconvenience and
discomfort.

LEGISLATIVE sTNECUREs.

Certain Republican leaders in New York state seem to
be very much disturbed because organization COM
posed OF young Republicans in Brooklyn has undertaken
to find out how much work done by clerks messengers
document handlers pages and other subordnaes about
the New York legislature. The young Republicans say
they merely curious to know how the state spends
about $4,000 for such attendance every year. Efforts
have been made to choke their curiosity but far with
out success They have gone to ask certain
state officials why is that the state apparently believes
that barendefs are better able to serve as clerks in the
legislature than clerks who have had experience with pr
gyate firms.
Another item about which the young Republicans are
curious has to do with the number of legislative employees
who to Albany for the beginning Of the session. report
or duty nger around the state capitol for few DAYS
and then go home and draw their pay If they had been
on the Job during the entire It is even charged
by member Of the committee representing the young
men that considering the work they do the majority Of
these employees receive about three times much salary
s they would IN corresponding positions in private en-
ployment and that many Of them do not put in more

ans want is legislative staff drawn from the state

It was his first appearance in worlds series and his condition was no worse than that of some other members of the team. Almost with out exception the Dodgers had bad case of ratties. A fact not generally known is that he played in the worlds series with bad arm.
 Where Robby is to find a successor to Cutshaw is a big question: He has sonly rockies to count on. Perhaps he has an idea of trying Fred Merkle at second. Merkle might pan out as he can play preety nearly any defensive position. But that Merkle will do bet ter than Cutshaw is something the fans will want to be convinced of.
 AS for going into the open market, approaching other clubs to make a swap, what have they to offer? Every club in the National League will cling to its defensive strength for the good reason that what it has it will need In the circumstance 1t is a pretty good bet that Bobby will be doing business with Cusshaw around

BARON VON STEUBEN

While most of the heroes of the American revolution were men of English, Scottish and Irish blood, they had the aid of not a few from other lands. Lafayette, the brilliant Frenchman, holds highest place in the affections of Americans, but no small share of the republics grati- tude Is due to the Prussian, Baron Frederick William. Augustus von Steuben.
 This is the 122nd anniversary of Steuben's death, which occurred on his estate in Oneida county, N. Y.. given him as a reward for his assis- tance in the revolution. The Baron was born in Magdeburg, Prussia, in November, 1730, and at the age of IA served as volunteer under his father at the siege of Prague. Later he attained high rank in the Prussian army, and in 1762 was made mem Der of the staff of Frederick the Great, and a little later was appoint ed grand marshal and general of the guard of the Prince of Hohenzollern- Hechingen.
 Baron von Steuben abandoned his honors and an ample income to come to America, arrived at Portsmouth, N. H., in November, 1777. He imme- diately offered his sword to Washing ton, joining the army at Valley Forge. Washington appointed him inspector-general of the army with the rank of major-general. His first effort was to introduce a system of !. discipline, such as prevailed in the Prussian forces, among the disorgan- ized troops of Washington, and he prepared a manual of the\ tactics which was approved by Congress. Military critics and historians dis agree as to the value of Baron won
 Steuben's discipline, some of them declaring that Prussian methods were not suited to the spirit of the Ameri- cans. Steuben fought as a volunteer at Monmouth, commanded in Vir- . ginia in 17s1, and was distinguished at Yorktown.
 After the close of the war the state 1 of New Jersey gave the Prussian general a small farm, and the state of New York presented him with 16,- 1 900 acres of wild land +. Oneida county, while the federal government gave him an annuity of $2,50O. The
