Will the reader try to realize these
hundreds Of bright, beautiful orphan
children actually without the means TO
buy bread? For that is exactly the
situation When Dr.. Jacobs found the
institution in such Il situation he al
ways told it to the good people. He
trusted that God would put it into
their hearts to send the money or the
food or the clothing. and God never
forsook him and never forsook the
children
We are not competent 10 present the
matter as he did, but We tell the story
without any gloss and without adc-
Quate language. 1t is literally true
that these children whom Dr. Jacobs
always called Gods children are
without fathers and without a prcsi-
dent and without money and without
food and they arc in need Of winter
clothing and school books for the new
term. Everything costs more than It
has been costing The dollars which
are coming in are spent as carefully as
possible, but they are too few to meet
the bills The institution is therefore
face to face with the fact that it can
not furnish the children with nutri~
tious food and with warm clothing un-
less the gifts of Gods people are great

to realize the situation If they can i'm

in many cases without friends, housed

there is no one to provide,

U. S.FLEET TO PATROL
ATLANTIC SEABOGRD
FRENCH AND BRITISH OFFICERS
CONFER IN WASHINGTON
WITH CHIEFS OF NAVY.
Canadian Coast My Be Under Guard
of Uncle Sans Annually
Forces To Withdraw.

Western Newspaper Union 'Iews Service.
Washington.-With high British and
French naval officers in conference
here with naval officials, definite steps
have been taken toward participation
Of the American navy in the war
against Germ. ny.
Patrol of the entire Atlantic sea
board, reaching southwark to the Pan
anna Canal zone and possibly north
ward to include Canada, will bs the
first duty of American warships With
that goes the necessity Of guarding
against the probable extension of the
German submarine campaign to in
clude approaches to major American
ports.
This development, with a statement
that the War Department has issued
instructions to recruiting officers
which are in effect a call for 100000
volunteers to fill up the regular army
and the existing units of the national
guard, hold important places in the
news relative to war preparation.
British and French ships now on
this patrol duty will be withdrawn as
soon as the American forces have their
lines established. The American
squadrons will operate from British
and French bases in the South Allan
tic wherever necessary.

SHIP SUNK OFF CUBAN COAST
British Vessel Is Victim Of German
Submarine While in Amer
lean Waters.

Key West, Fla.--The British sailing
ship TreveaT. Captain Williamson, was
sunk by German submarine off Glen
fuegos. Cuba. and all hands landed at
the Cuban port a few hours later, ac-
cording to c. Peterson. member of
the crew, who arrived here from Ha.
vana. Peterson claims to be a natur.
allied American of Norwegian birth.
The vessel was sunk by bombs placed
aboard by the Germans, Peterson de-
clared. The Treveal, full-rigged sail
ing ship, was proceeding from Jamaica
to Cienfuegos for cargo of sugar for
Queenstown. Soon after the subma.
rine was sighted off Cienfuegos the
Germans launched canvas boat and
two officers and six armed men came
aboard the Treveal, giving the crew
ten minutes to take to their boats.

RECRUITS SHOW INCREASE
Tremendous Recruiting Campaign For
the Navy Is Showing Results
Strength Near 10000.

Washington.-The tremendous re-
cruiting campaign for the navy is be-
ginning to show results. During the
first II days of April a net gain of
4,781 men for the regular service was
recorded. The figures for the last two
days Of that period we're respectively
535 and 556 men, showing the steady
increase in the daily average of ap
plicants The total enlisted strength
now is approaching the 10000 mark.
President Wilson has already author
lied recruitment to $1,000, the max
imum allowed by law, and pending leg
islation will provide for a total force
of $4,000, including the coast defense
reserve, the only present volunteer
element.
When the $1,000 figure has been reach
ed it is possible that subsequent en-
listments will be permitted for the
duration Of the war; which would en-
able the active service to be filled up
with war volunteers. Encouraging re-
ports are coming in from commandants
of the various naval districts, to whom
has been left the task of organizing
the personnel of the coast and harbor
patrol service No figures are avail
able as yet as to the number of vol
unteers already enrolled and modified
for this service or as to the number of
small craft now in commission. 1t is
expected, however, that complete pre-
liminary reports will be received soon,
as an officer Of the Navigation Bureau
is now making a tour of inspection to
see what aid the department can give
the district cOmmandants in carrying
out their plans.
