The ROAD.
What is the Road to Cheer
Over the Hills OF Fear?
Thinking the floral way.
Dreaming of meadows gay.
Speaking the thoughts that rise
Out of the blue of skies.
Smiling your way along.

Dwelling upon the good
Walking in Brotherhood
That is the Road to Cheer

Americans have been killed by Mexicans than

war with Spain was through it was through,
but peace continues to rage as furiousy as ever
IN Mexico. Mr.. Roosevelt also said "McKin-

Wilson's peace and it reflected high honor on
the American people; whereas Mr. Wilson's
peace has been ono OF shame and dshonor for

HARDEN SAYS GERMANY
NOT NEAR EXHAUSTION
Lecturer Says Teutons Hold the Allied
Countries by Their
Threats.

Berlin, Feb. (wireless via Say
ville) .-Maximilian Harden, whose
utterances, says the Trans Ocean News
Bureau, have been frequently mis-
quoted by the allies for the purpose
of anti-German propaganda, today de-
large audience.
He stated that the continuation of
the war was caused by three decisions
held by GernIanys enemies; First, that
Germany had been preparing for the
war for years. and that her enemies.
therefore. only need wait until this
handicap has been overcome. Re-
garding this, he said the fact is that
the Germans have won their victories
because they have been able to adapt
themselves to changing circumstances.
The second delusion cited by the
lecturer was that Germany is APP
preaching exhaustion. on this sub
ject Herr Harden said:
1T is most reckless Of her enemies
to dare to say that Germany. who
holds them by the throat, la nearing
decentralization.
regarding German barbarism. all of
which. said the speaker, had been re =
futed by the facts as reported from the
verfous German frontiers. Herr Harden
added that statesmen in the cause of
the allies want to postpone the day OF
reckoning and that 1t would be much
better for them II the truth could
pierce the walls erected by these gov
ernments and reach the souls OF those
nations"
Continuing. he said; THE last hope
of her enemies will be to destroy Eu-
rope in order to annihilate Germany.
II her enemies are bent on doing this,
and II the Germans understand that
their enemies are determined to de-
stroy the empire no matter at what
cost, then the war will only have be-
gun for the Germans"
In conclusion the speaker said; In
spite OF their physical bravery, OF their
wealth, OF their glory, of their former
achievements and Of the 'wornout con-
ditton' OF the Germans their enemies
lack the courage to look In the face the
truth and their fate"

Dozen On Board Appam, Who We're
Prisoners OF British Before Re-
capture, Not Yet Allowed
TO Land,

Washington, Feb. 6.--The imme-
date problem before the State De-
partment today with reference TO the
German prize Appam, anchored at
Newport News, was the disposition
to be made of twelve Germans re-
naming on board the vessel with the
prize crew. Collector Hamilton at
Norfolk wired the Treasury Depart
ment as to whether they might be
permitted to go ashore. The State
Department. took the case under ad-
visement, as 1t was not known just
how far these Germans had aided the
prize crew in navigating. the Appam
across the Atlantic. There are two
women left on board, wives of MEM
bers OF the party. all of which were
taken prisoners to British detention
camp Secretary Lansing had be-
fore him today the tentative draft of
plan submitted by the government
neutrality board for disposing of the
Appam as a German prize. The board
IS known to have based its recon-
mendations on the Prussian- American
treaty of 1899 amended by the 1928
treaty. recognizing the right of the
German government to bring a prize
into an American port.
The point that has not been de-
cided is the length of time a prize
may remain In American waters.
British embassy officials have made
II plain that their government Will
enter serious contest If the decision
Is in favor of Germany and the prize
is permitted to remain indefinitely In
American waters.

POLICE GUARD BRIDGE
AS BATvTLEsSHIP PASSES

New York, Feb. Especial police
guards were stationed on Brooklyn
and Manhattan bridges at noon today
while the United States armored
cruiser Washington, home from Haiti.
passed under them to Brooklyn navy
yard. The details were made by Po-
lice Inspector Dillon at the request
OF Rear Admiral Usher commandant
of the navy yard.
The reason offered for this unusual
action was that 1t was desired to pre-
vent persons from dropping things on
the deck of the cruiser. 1t was de-
MED that bombs were the missiles
feared.

an action would be considered by her
enemies as Il sign of weakness and
would spur them on to redoubled eff
forts.
Germany cannot afford thus to
hearten her foes. But # the negotia-
tons with King Albert are concluded
successfully, peace must follow auto
matically. The only alternative. aC-
cording to German view is for Great
Britain and France is to admit that
the cause for which Mr.. Asquith nobly
declared the British were fighting, the
restoration OF Belgium, is not the
cause at all.
With Germany and Belgium at
peace it might even become necessary
for Great Britain TO tell the truth and
admit that she is fighting to crush
her greatest commercial competitor"

PREFERS DEATH AND TALK
TO OPERATION FOR CANCER

Waukegan. Ill, Feb. 5.-Mrs. Mike
Gevoerick. Of North Chicago. was
given the choice Of having her tongue
cut out because of cancer and thus
being denied the privilege Of talking
to her five children, or taking a long
chance and avoiding the operation,
which will mean her death before
long. She preferred to take the
chance of living without her tongue
being removed. She cannot speak
English, and an interpreter explained
the matter. whereupon she decided
instantly that the sorrow of being
unable to talk to her children was
even worse than death, She cannot
live long.
