Not since the early days of Zion City
have there been so many visitors to a
Feast Of Tabernacles The most intense
interest is shown Zion Home is crowded

were served last Lord Is Day to 275 guests,
and at night every room but one was
taken, even the rooms ordinarily fitted
up for light housekeeping being occupied.

much less; besides, the cost of labor has
been kept in Zion Industries, which would
otherwise have gone outside.
The trolley is 48 feet long, 10 feet high,
and and IL feet in width. It has a
capacity Of 5,4OO cookies at one loading.
AS the cookies travel the entire cir
cult Of the trolley on a conveyor, they
are first dipped, automatically, in marsh
mallow, then into icing or chocolate ac-
cording to the finish required. They then
continue to travel on the conveyor until
dry.
Each time the conveyor completes a
revolution of the machine, the rods upon
which the cookies are held pass through
a hot water tank, thus cleansing them,
after which they are ready for another
loading.

Grave Questions Raised

The coming of the Deutschland has
raised many questions of grave import
ance. 1t has shown conclusively that the
Atlantic ocean is no longer bulwork to
this country, and that our American
coasts are exposed to attack from sub
marines in case Of war with Germany or
any foreign power 1t has also raised
questions of international law, especially
regarding visit and search of German sub
marines by war vessels belonging to the
allies.

GERMAN SUBMARINE ARRIVES IN
AMERICAN HARBOR
Marks an Epoch in Ocean Service-Other
Submarines Expected to Follow
Grave Problems of Coast Defense
Raised

An epochal event of the most far-reach-
ing Importance in the international rela-
tionship Of the United States with other
countries, occurred on the night of July
9, when the worlds first submarine
merchantmen, the German underwater
liner Deutschland, arrived at Quarantine,
four miles below Baltimore, after voyag-
ing safely across the Atlantic.
The vessel, which is 315 feet long, has
completed trip of $500 miles, eluding
the British blockade and coming by way Of
the English Channel route, thus perform
ing feat which has elected the admira-
ton of the people Of both continents.
For weeks it had been rumored that a
submarine was soon to arrive at an Ameri-
can harbor, but the story was regarded by
most people as visionary and consigned
to the sea-serpent class The news that
the submarine had actually materialized
and passed the Virginia capes caused con-
siderable commotion and amazement in
American official circles.
The Deutschland left Helgoland, Ger
many, on June %, having remained there
9 days longer than was planned, in order
to deceive the allied blockaders. At one
time in the English Channel it was neces-
sary for the vessel to hug the bottom one
entire day, to escape the presence of
British cruisers. Only about 90 miles of
the voyage, however, was made under the
surface.
The vessel brought with it cargo of
dyestuffs, Of which the American market
has been greatly in need. William J.
Matheson, president Of the Cassella Color
Company, one of the firms to which the
dyes aboard were consigned, made the
statement soon after the arrival Of the
vessel:
GAS to the value of the cargo, could
not say. The value of the dyes depends
on how highly concentrated they are, and
it is likely that they are in very highly
concentrated form [ would guess that
one pound of the dyes in the submarine
would be equal to two pounds of the
standardized dyes"

Editorial Comment

The Manchester Guard, one of the most
influential of English papers, says
2 eve are quite ready to join in the
laugh against ourselves, and to applaud
the skill and daring of the captain, who
appears to us as sportsman, and has
earned his laurels cleanly.'
An editorial in The Chicago Tribune, of
July II, has this to say:
"'The inspiring feat of the submarine
Deutschland adds another credit to the
account Of German resourcefulness and
courageous enterprise. 1t is evident that
German practical genius has gone a long
way in the solution of the problems of
submarine navigation, and we hope the
adventure of the Deutschland will stimu-
late America to greater effort in this field.
FFThe full significance of the feat only
time will disclose. Its possibilities are
great not only for the future but for the
immediate maritime situation.

you show your gratitude to God by re-
turning thanks at the table for His
bounties; that you have, in a measure,
conquered the tendencies Of the flesh, and
that you are going on to perfection, beng
sanctifed daily It is for you to make
this service reality and not farce. God
has His arms outstretched to Zion. You
can put these children into His care and
keeping and He will watch over them by
day and by night He will preserve them.
He will spare them and they will be
trained up in His nurture and admOnition.
cit will make this service more inter
esting when [ tell you that we have had a
conservation service for children, [ think
every month, and yet, Notwithstanding
this, you see the large company on this
platform today. My heart rejoices. l
thank God with all my heart, and it |
had time I would like to say some very
important things, but I will have to defer
until some other time.
FJust listen for a minute, Zion, and
the matter upon which [ am about to
touch is one Of the most sacred-mother-
hood. Thousands Of mothers are slaugh-
tered to the medical MolOch. In The
Chicago Tribune, in an article written by
Dr. John B. Murphy, the so-called great
surgeon Of Chicago, he stated that during
the year 1915, 80 and 1-3 per cent of all
prospective mothers in the hands of the
doctors died-lost their lives, and that
there were $4,000 mothers who died from
blood-poisoning. Now [ think, and Dea-
con La Rose, head Of the board of Health
in Zion City, can correct me if [ am not
correct-because [ have not taken any
time to go into this carefully, am giving
it from memory-but in the whole ten
years that | have been in Zion City do
not know of but three women who have
died in childbirth, and I do not know that
you could really put these three down as
legitimate cases, and [ say that this is a
marvellous record.
"The solution Of all difficulties is con-
secration to God Thank God for Zion
May God bless these children and bless
the parents. They are all sweet little
children, every one of them.
81 wish that you could pass around here
and observe these children. You look at
all of these children. One of the remark
able showings made is, you do not see
at least I cannot see any just now
do not see a child here that has a pimple
on its face. I am looking at these pri
maries Take a crowd Of children out
side Of Zion and you will observe that
their faces are broken out with sores and
pimples and humors and scrofula.
cat the present time there is terrible
wave of spinal meningitis sweeping over
the cities. What is at the bottom Of it
Tobacco and whisky and drugs. You
cannot expect anything else when chill
dren are begotten of tobacco, whisky and
drug soaked fathers, and born Of mother
who are nervous wrecks May God helI
you to realize the heritage in Zion; anC
help us to make it more and more a grea
object lesson to the world"

NEWS OF THE WORLD

Washington reports state that Great
Britain, France, Russia, Italy, and japan
will not recognize submarines as possess
ing mercantile character, HOLDING that
the vessels are built primarily for service
as Warships, and that they cannot compete
IN ordinary times with surface cargo
boats; furthermore, that as they cannot
be warned, they must be sunk on sight.
Forerunner of other merchant submarines
Charles Won Helmolt, managing director
Of the North German-Lloyd Company in
America, says:
. have been informed that six large
super-submarines are being constructed
IN Germany and that weekly service
will be started, leaving from Bremen and
some port in the United States on the
same day. They may carry freight only
at first, and later carry mails and passen-
gers"
Captain Paul Koenig, commander of the
Deutschland, in an interview a few days
ago, said:
1--WE will come again and others will
come and trade will go back and forth and
the British blockade-tha will be thing
to laugh at.
The future of the submarine has now
been proven to be unlimited. There is
practically no maximum to their capacity;
their mechanism has been projected; we
have shown that they do anything any
other ship can do and more besides
About that am positive The coming
of the Deutschland, $500 miles to Ameri-
ca, and her arrival with range of almost
10000 miles left, with fuel and water and
supplies and everything for that much
travel still aboard, shows that you can go
with submarine simply where you want
to 60
"Our trip has demonstrated that the
big merchant submarine is practical and
that 1T has come to stay. We expect the
venture to be a great financial success.
This ship can carry cargo Of 1000 tons
and ON this trip carried $50 tons of dye
stuffs, valued at 100000. The charges
for the shipment alone will pay for the
cost of the Deutschland, about 100000.
On this trip we carried no mails, nor did
we carry money or securities Also we
came without insurance, running entirely
at our own risk"

Deutschland not a Warship

On July II, Captain G. S. Hughes, of
the U. S. N and two submarine experts,
accompanied by the collector of the port
Of Baltimore, made thorough inspection
of the vessel, in order to determine it's
status. Officials had been much concerned
as to whether the submarine should be
regarded as a merchant, or war vessel.
According to Captain Hughes report,
however, the Deutschland can in no wise
be regarded as a warship, as it carries
absolutely no guns, not even for defen-
sive purposes, and is not pierced for tor
pedo tubes.
Alfred Lohmann, ex-president of the
Bremen Chamber of Commerce, and the
originator of an underwater merchant
service, has said:
$50 anxious was I that the unarmed
merchantmen character of our boats
should be established beyond doubt, [
insisted that the captain of the Deutsch-
land should not even carry the customary
revolver upon leaving Bremen. N
II conceived the idea of breaking the
British blockade long ago." continued
Herr Lohmann, but the project first took
definite shape last autumn, when [ sue
ceeded in convincing the capitalists as
ISOLATED with me-the Deutsch bank and
the Nord Deutsche Lloyd-that the war
presumably would last another twelve
months. This was the hardest part of my
task. Once this was done, the rest was
easy, for our figures showed that the boats
would more than pay for themselves in
a single round trip"
