TELLS STORY OF RAIDS.
CAPTAIN of Moewe Reviews Exploits
of Cruiser Which Seized the
Appam.

tails of some of htc exploits of the
German commerce raider Moewe have
been given by her commander, Capt.
Burgrave Count Won Dohna-Sehloa-
len.
The day after the capture OF the
Appam. by the Moewe, says sum-
mary of the Counts "reminiscences,
the steamer Clan Mac lavish was
sighted at 4:30 o'clock in the morning
The Mac lavish being fast, it was
onlv after a long chase that the
Moewe was able to get near her.
Then ensued wireless CONVERSE
ton. the Moewe asking, what ship
are you?"
The Mac lavish, being somewhat
mistrustful, answered, who are
you?"
The Moewe replied: ga German
cruiser; stop Immediately"
"The Mac lavish declared by wire
less 4 have stopped but she con-
tinued at full speed" said the Moewe's
commander. "At the same time the
wireless operator Of the Moewe in
formed me that the Mac lavish was
using her wireless, even after the
first warning shot was fired. Then we
sent our first shell, which exploded
on the bridge The firing went on un-
til after the Mac lavish had been
hit several times, she wirelessed:
"'We have really stopped

ship was sighted whose nationality
it was impossible to learn. Her most
clever captain, when / asked him who
she was, gave me name which was
not to be found in any of the shipping
registers. I asked again, upon which
he gave another name. The captain
afterward told me that in his confus-
ion he really had forgotten the name
he gave FIRST - ''-@-'@ .ss -
at was a matter of utter inditf-
erence," added Count Dohna- -Schlod-
len, humorously, under which name
the ship was sunk, but it was pitiful
that we should have to sink a steam
er with 1000 bottles of champagne on
board, as we had no more of the stuff
ourselves"
Count Won DONNA -Schlodien, whose
"reminiscences were given to re-
preventative Of the Lokal Anzeiger,
in speaking about the capture of the
Appam, said
"Of Madeira the steamer Appam
was sighted. After long delibcration,
in view of the fact that the steamer
had bullion and also passengers on
board, | finally signalled her to stop
Immediately. AS the captain did not
obey, l fired single warning shot,
upon which the steamer came to i
halt.
"When we steamed over to the APP
pam we noticed sailors of the Brit
ish navy, who were about to direct
cannon against US. These sailors
were driven away by rife fire. At
first panic reigned on board the APP
pam, which only ceased when the
prize crew arrived and calmed the
people.
"On board the Appam, besides four
officers and 80 men of the British
navy, we found chests of gold. These
we carried with us to Germany.

TAKE 1000 PRISONERS
petroyrad Elated Over Reports OF
Successes on New Offensive Which
Are Denied ut Berlin

Petrograd, March "a. : Savage
fighting is going on at Jacobstadt, 81
miles southeast of Riga, where the
Russians, using liquid fire and gas
bombs. are battering in the German
salient.
At the same time. the Slavs are
attacking vigorously at Friedrich
stadt. west of Jacobstadt and at liluNt
to the south.
General Kuropatkin's aim, appaf-
emily, is to squeeze von Hindenpurg
out of this important salient by
threats of development, Of the wnoie
German line from Riga to Dvinsk, on
4 front Of 40 miles.
Petrograd, March 24.-Whlle ad-
hitting that it is not yet clear wheth-
or the fighting which is in progress
south of Dvinsk signifies general
advance of the Russian troops IN tnat
sector or whether it is intended rs
demonstration to attract German forc-
.s from the Franco-German front.
the military critics lay emphasis up
ON what they alludc to as the univer-
sal success of the attacks during the
last few DAYS, the viciousness OF WHICH
is pointed to as being sufficient I"
have made an impression upon the
German General Sta".
The Russian troops are operating
in three groups, covering Il lfoht VI
70 miles, hut the severest tlghtlng
is reported to have occurred IN th'
vicinity of Lake NarocZ, where the
Russians drive carried them through
three lines of German trenches heaF-
ilv protected by wire entaglements.
The Russians rcsorted to their faV-
orite method, bayonet fighting, rout-
ing the Germans in spite OF desperate
resistance and capturing more thah
900 men. including II officers,
dozen machine guns and other booty
The Germans are invariably coun-
torino the Russian attacks by adj
v,rcinp at other sections of the line,
but from all appearances, according
to the military observers. the leutohlc
efforts lack coordination. and 1t IS
evident that in spite of the recent
concentration of additional troops IN
this region the Russians anticipated
any plans-their adversaries may have
had for n concerted offensive here.
The German strength was estimated
last autumn to be- eight corps OF III
fantry and several cavalry divisions
in this region. but these have since
been considerably augmented. 2
An important success is recorded
on the Galician front. where the Rus
slams captured the crossing of the
Dniester at Mikhaltche. The Aus
trian official communication is cited
in reference to this victory, as it is
admitted that the Austrians were OBJ
liged to abandon the position follow
ing six months defense after the
Notifications had been reduced by
the Russian artillery.
Berlin, March 24.-The Russians,
in spite of their great offensive on
the eastern front, have made no ad-
vance, bays the official statement
given out by the German army head
quarters.
London, March "a Men Of the
Hungarian Landsturm. born in 1868
and 1869, and also the men belonging

The Penalty for
a Good Reputation

When an article has been on the
market for years and has given COM
plete e satisfaction when used in
thousands of homes 1t creates for
itself valuable reputation, yet at
the same time this good reputation
has its penalty.
Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
enjoys a splendid reputation, for 1t
has been used for three generations.
Its fair name and high repite have
created a demand for 1t, and to sup
ply this demand at a greater profit
limitations and substitutes are offered.
Purchasers who know the original
cannot be fooled by any 'just az
good" offering and it is worth the
effort of any one who wants a reliable
cough syrup to insist upon the orig:

Tar Compound, which has proven SO
valuable for the relief of coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough.

Brother Hicks was, as is well
known, of that type of old citizens,
which is respected and admired by
all; being man who did not believe
in worldly displays, but in that
straightforward rectitude of conduct,
which has in past ages and will con-
tinue to stand out as beacon light
admonisbing all to follow the straight
and narrow path.
Ever ready to commiserate distress,
his hand ever open to relieve 1t so far
as his means would permit, let fall
the cordial balm o. wounds affection
had made, and bind up the hearts
which sorrow had broken.
Brother Hicks was devout member
Of the M. E. Church, South, for a

While sitting around in the way TO-

He can't controlf
4th. We are told Christ came TO
bring peace on earth, good will to

We are confronted with the fact that
after the world has existed for two
thousand years, one of the worst wars
of the ages is in progress. ana al
most all the known world is in an up
roar bordering on wal. Now, II this
is not approved by God, why does 1t
go on3
Did God ordain wars If not, why
did the children of Israel fight the
Cananites and take their countryS
Some may say He had promised 1t to
Abraham. Did He think at that time
Abraham could get possession OF the
land of Canaan without fight, and
when it came to showdown had to
help the children of Israel fight in or
der to give possession to little patch
of grapevines and rocks, which he had
made and which was legally his.
If God helped in these wars, as He
surely did if we accept the Bible,
when did He quit the war businessT
Some one says, when Christ came into
the world. If He did He has some
very unruly soldiers left behind.
Anyway. as soon as Henry Ford

dropping their arms. l have always

was not necessary, and won't go.
