resentation of the people-not at some
banquet behind closed DOORS" was his
assertion. Picture illustrating this
was combination of the G. O. p ele-
plant and democratic mule, labeled
capitalism.
Preparedness was treated in an
ironical manner by the socialist hum
orist. One picture he drew was that of
a mosquito and a soldier. The capital
lists and munition makers, said Walk
er, would spend more money prepar-
ing to kill in war than has already
been spent in exterminating the mo-
squito in countries where it is a dis
ease bearer. Exaggerated cartoons of
the kaiser, czar and king of England
were shown as what the speaker as
serted to be "a fine looking buncn TO
fight for" 1t is the Henry Dubbs who
support these, was brought out.
The final picture was of two
hands grasping for a little girl, repre-
senting social results of the present
economic system. The child of Henry
Dubb is not saved until socialism is
instituted and the workingman gets a
fair return from the wealth he helps
to create. was the closing thought.
Walker was introduced by W. C.
Gibson, chairman of the socialist party
here, who announced that speaker of
national prominence will be brought
to Rock Island during the last part
OF March. Efforts to have George Kirk
patrick in this vicinity again will prob
ably eliminate in his coming to Rock
island in May, he stated. One of Mr.
Gibson's statements was that all fut-
ure history will be Influenced by the
1916 party action of the socialists.

aroused a new outburst of enthusiasm
for the navy.
The cruiser Moewe-in English, the
Seagull-was enrolled Immediately on
the honor list with the Emden, Prinz
Eitel Friedrich and Karlsruhe. The
feats are characterized as most dar-
ing illustrative Of the fact that the
spirit which animated the men on the
Emden is still alive and that further
pages of German history are being
written.
There is no little mystery here re-
garding the identity Of the Moewe. Ad-
miralty officials evidently were not
surprised at the news but decline to
give any information about the cruiser
or whence she set out for her raids
A vessel named Moewe is given in
the German navy list as surveying
ship. The raider might have been this
craft, although it seemed improbable
that this little steamer of $50 tons,
with a speed of only 9 knots, could
accomplish the exploits in question.
1t may have been that some larger
steamer, assuming the name Moewe,
when converted into an auxiliary
cruiser, slipped through the British
lines. A precedent of this nature ex-
lists in the case of the German mer-
chairman which was converted into
the auxiliary cruiser Meteor which
sank the British patrol boat Ramsey
and other ships in the North sea last
summer and subsequently was de,
stroyed.
The German surveying ship Moewe
was sunk by gun fire on Aug 9, 1914.
