On Watch For the Deutschland.

There is much guessing to when the Deutsch-
land will make a dash for the open and as to
whether she can get safely home. Since her
arrival at Baltimore about a fortnight ago there
has been ample time for the Allies to vgilant
watch and lay many for her capture.
French and British cruisers reported waiting
just beyond the three-mile neutral zone of Amer
ican waters and it is not improbable that destroy
ers and other craft for Selling trapping U-boats
accompany them. Apparently, the Deutschland
will find her return voyage more hazardous than
her pioneer cruise to our shores.
She has the advantage, however, of being
peaceful merchantmen and therefore, entitled at
the enemy's hands to consideration which war
submarine could not claim expect. DIR. Won
Jagow. the German Minister of Foreign Affairs. is
quoted by Berlin correspondent as considering it
quite probable that British vessels preparing
to assemble at the mouth of the Chesapeake and
attempt on sight to sink the Deutschland and her
crew Such a deed says the German Minister,
who evidently has forgotten the Lustania, would
be "cowardly and dastardly:
I'VE claim nothing for this type of
merchantmen save that she is entitled to be
hailed visited and the put in safety
before she is destroyed. IT, after she is hailed,
she attempts to escape, she does so at her
own risk and may properly be attacked and
sunk But to allow the attack without warn
ing upon an unarmed. fragile boat, with the
lives of the crew at the mercy of single
shot-that is something of which prefer to
believe the United States incapable"
1t may be assumed that the United States will
vouchsafe the Deutschland all the protection due
a peaceful merchant ship long she is within
this countrys sea domain and certainly it is to be
hoped that when she has passed the neutral boun-
dairy the Allies, as a matter of sound policy
we'll as humane principle will conform their
methods of challenge and attack strictly to inter-
national law 1t is with scant grace consis-
tency however that the German Minister of For
eign Affairs can urge this If it would be
"cowardly and dastardly" to sink the Deutschland
on sight what is to be said of the U-boat that fired
upon the Lusitania without warning and doomed
eleven hundred and. fifty innocent lives, women
and children as well as men, without any effort
whatsoever for their rescue? Neutral nations we'll
NAV plead the cause of fair play for this merchant
submarine but DR.. Won Jagow's plea in that behalf
is Knocked by his own Governments record.
IL the Deutschland succeeds in reaching Ger.
man port with her precious cargo of rubber and
nickel and gold, she will win double need of the
historic fame which already crowns her. For this
sort of sea adventure the world has only the keen
est admiration. The British themselves have
given Captain Koenig and his crew hearty credit
for their sportsmany exploit. 1t remains to be
seen how the absorbing story will end

HE next time you telephone put to your
self the question, How did this come into
Il exstence?" moments reflection will
give you the correct answer:
1t is product of the human mind. 1t is the
result of an idea"
And what about the telegraph, the steam en-
CINE, the mammoth ocean liner, the mysterious en-
sanguined submarine?
What about the giant skyscraper towering to
the clouds? How came into being the airship,
slowly circing far above the pinnacle skyscraper?
Always the answer is the same:
These too, are products of the human mind
They are the results of ideas.
Young man starting in life get this truth
firmly fixed in your consciousness. Ponder it we'll.
Every step forward in this wonderful civiliza-
tion of ours, every convenience we possess repre-
sents an idea which somebody has once had.
Stone or gossamer, massive or light, cumbrous-
ly complicated or daintily beautiful, every mate

After this outburst, Mae Hope, a
would-be song writer, sank into a
chair, thrust bulky envelope from the
Frank Charity Music Publishers into
her desk, and sat hopelessly gazing ut
the small epistle from the same Office
and with slight touch Of humor and
q faint suggestion Of smile, recited
the contents of that letter-not
through the envelope, which she had
not opened, but from memory:
"Sorry, Miss Hope, that this Is not
yet quite up to the standard, but sim
cerely trust you will not be dlscour-
aged, ETC., etc."
For three years Miss Hope had been
receiving these distressing notes from
the genial young publisher, who could
not summon the courage to advise her
to give up. Perhaps he realized 1t was
merely case of humoring an imag-
mary talent rather than attempting to
earn a living as the young lady's In

One glance at her visitor assured
Miss Hope 1t was no stranger, but an

"Why, Mae, you seem surprised"
"Ilow should know you were mar

"violet, stealing a glance at the dis
