BRITISH BATTLESH|PS
CAPTURE A GERMAN
RAIDER IN ATLANTIC
Wireless InterCeptS Message
Telling of Capture, but 1t Is
Not Clear Whether 1t Is
MoeWe or Room
(By Associated Press. }


BUENOS AIRES, March 2.-Press
dispatches from Montevideo say that a
steamer arriving from Europe inter-
copied near the coast of Brazil wire
less message stating that British cruis-
ers had captured the German axiliary
cruiser Moewe.
The Moewe il is said was taken by
the British cruisers to the island of
Trinidad.
The American steamer Santa Barbara
has arrived at Montevideo, her captain
making the announcement that a French
cruiser which put out from Dakar, on
the west coast of Africa, encountered a
German raider name not given, and
opened fire on her. Under cover of dark
ness the German ship got away. She
was, however, damaged on her upper
works by the French fire.
There is some doubt, however, as to
the identity of the German vessel cap
tured. Another version of the account
is that the vessel is the German cruiser
Room.
The Moewe first came into prominence
with the arrival at Hampton Roads on
February 1 of the British liner Appam,
in charge of a German prize crew. She
brought word of a mysterious German
commerce raider, the Moewe, which was
roaming the seas and had captured and
sunk seven British merchantmen and
admiralty transport, in addition to cap
turing the Appam. Masters of some of
the captured merchantmen declared the
raiders real name was the Ponga.
Dispatches from the Canary Islands
late last month reported the arrival of
the British steamer Western with Ger
man prize crew on board, said to be
from the Moewe. According to these
reports. the Moewe, continuing her activ-
tiles after the capture of the Appam and
the seven other British vessels, between
January Is and February sank five
British steamers off the coast of Brazil.
A vigorous search for the supposed
Moewe was begun by the British admir-
atty She was reported to be a tramp
steamship fitted with guns for preying
on. commerce of the allies.
e, The German cruiser Room was said
to have escorted the Moewe when the
latter captured the Appam. A report
that the Room had been captured by the
British cruiser Drake off Bermuda was
published last month, but subsequently
was denied.
The island of Trinidad is one of the
British West Indies, lying off the coast
of Venezuela.

New Years Resolutions
Z Are AS Old as Humanity

It was probably Adam who was re-
sponsible for the custom of New
Years resolutions.
The departure OF Adam and his
spouse from Paradise may not have
occurred on New Years Day, but for
tn en- it had all the significance, and
more, which his ancestors attach to
that date in the calendar. It mark
ed the end of one, phase of mundane
existence, and the beginning of an
other, and Adam knew no more than
we, as we stand at the threshold of a
New Year, what was coming to
him.
We may picture the father of the
human race departing from Eden.
Behind trails his shame-faced wife,
clad in her most becoming fig-leaf.
She is a bit fearful lof the unknown
future, and not a little frightened
lest her glOwering, enraged husband
tfbeat her up" In that event, there
are no police courts, to which she
can appeal for protection. And yet,
we fancy, down deep in her heart,
Eve is not sorry. She has lost para
dise.} but she has gained a fig-leaf
land perhaps she is gifted with suf
ficient imagination to perceive what
that leaf will become in the process
of the evolution of feminine fashions.
It is possible, even, that she may have
a prophetic vision of Parisi

Paradise looked good to him, and he
would have preferred to stay. If he
has any prophetic visions, he
stalks along on the way to the station
to catch the first local out of Eden,
it is of an endless procession of bills
from mil1iners and modiestes. The
thought acts as a spur to his tagging
feet. Adam realizes that it is up to
III, 20 oil " o71n T7fC
to get out and hustle.
At last they reach the station. 1t
is a tiny affair, no doubt, for there is
not much travel on that line Adam
puts down his suit eas@filled, it is
scarcely necessary to state, with Ewes
fig -leaxes-sighs his relief, mops his
forehead, and glowers at his wife.
Happily, Eve is oblivious to her lords
disp1easure. On the station platform
she has discovered a penny-in-the-
slot chewing gum machine, with. a
mirror attached. She is too much
interested in seeing to it that her
fig-leaf is on straight to know, or
care, what Adam thinks of her.
In the distance a wavering cloud
| of smoke appears above the tree tops,
| and there comes to Adams ears the
| distant rumble of a train. He leaves
off frowninE at his wife, which, he
realizes, isn't getting him anything
| and turns his hungry eyes toward the
gates of Paradise, from which he has
| just emerged, never to return. For a
| moment the blue-coated angel with

of the hopelessness of such an at

! do not consider that the advice OF

the vocation for a young man.
Composite counsel is far better than
Individual opinion.
The parent should begin to study
his son when the boy has passed his
fourteenth or fifteenth year, perhaps
before; he should watch him care

and bring TO HIS attention the advan-
tages and disadvantages OF the sew
eral callings. especially those for
which he thinks his son II fitted.
The father should go further. and
consult with his friends, those who
come In contact with his boy, that,
from composite counsel, he may be
able to advise him more definitely and
more carefully.
To push or TO force the boy into a
vocation, without careful thought and
considerable study. Is as wicked as It
Is to rob him Of his birthright.
Thousands upon thousands Of boys
have been started wrong because Of
self.opinIonatod fathers, who. without
consideration. forced their sons into
vocations against their lncllnations
and ability.
Many Il devoted mother and over
ambitious father, wholly from self
pride and without dry real regard for
their offspring, have attempted TO
coerce him into some profession, when
the boy had absolutely no liking for II
or ability to practice ID. They would
have their son a lawyer when the boy
would make q good business man.
They would force him To become a
teacher when he lacked the power 10

loved his books more than money.
Remember, parents, that your boy,
on the threshold OF life, Is soon to be
