With the Decks Cleared


 Punta Arenas was reached after dark. The harbor was entered with the decks cleared for action. all hands at battle stations and with four searchlights blazing their white glare in all directions. The American coal ship Marietta was at Punta Arenas. Leaving at daylight the Marietta steamed ahead of the Oregon as a scout. There was no pretense. The Ore gon was on a war footing and ready for a fight. Guns were loaded, searchlights were ready and the men were sleeping at their stations. The Marietta, steaming ahead, tossed boxes and barrels overheard and the Oregon gunners smashed them with shells for practice
 Every nerve was strained to reach Cuba in, time for the war, and the whole nation at home was praying for the safety of the Oregon. (No one, however. seemed to pray for the little Marietta, which undoubtedly needed it as much as the Bulldog.
 In tn harbor of Rio de Janeiro on the last day of April the Oregon re- Eceived word that war had been de-

in the way of the ambitions of others but none more brutal than that of Prince Edward, son of Queen Margar- ct, who was wantonly stabbed to death after the battle of Tewkesbury. in which both mother and son were captured The Lancastrians fought valiantly for Margaret and Prince Ed ward but were overwhelmed by the forces of the York partisans under the leadership of the Dukes of Glou- cester and Clarence. When Margaret saw that defeat was inevitable she attempted flight to save her son but was captured. Edward was murdered on the spot. This occurred May 4, 1471.

CRUELTY TO CHILDREN.

Not all the beasts are dead yet, and the human beases are worse than those of the forest. A friend sends us newspaper clipping telling about man who as alleged nearly beat a nine year old boy to death. After welting him with a razor strop with a heavy buckle on it,. the creature threw the boy against a hot stove. The friend in writing. quotes also the case of a man who flew into rage and cut off both his sons hands with an axe.
 The first instinct of any neighbor- bood would be to take wretches like that and string them up to the nearest telegraph pole. Unfortunately lynch ing merely aggravates brutality and encourages the bestial spirit that it seeks to -repress. We must depend on the law to control the beasts among us, but the law should be prompt in action and terrible in its avenging justice.
 The very limit of penalty should be given in such cases. In view of their existing statutes provide severe made for simpler. age, when our
 
 more orderly, and less liable. to ex- cesses. If we have this kind of crea- lures to contend with, justice must put on its sternest face.
 There are more cases of this kind than people usually realize. The rec ords of children's protection societies show plenty of them. These cases oc- our sporadically. but when the aggre- gate of such crhelties is assembled in one record, they make sickening showing of human bestia1ity.
 It is hard for people who live in pleasant neighborhoods, to realize that there are creatures among us bearing the form of men who thus partake of the natures of the wolf and the tiger. Of course in many cases the trouble is intoxication. That is no excuse The law and common sense never per init a man to throw away his self con- trol and claim immunity for the re- suits. Wherever such cases occur it is the duty of neighbors and all who know the facts to report them to pro per authorities and, to be willing to testify in court to what they know.

IRON CROSS NOW
 CHEAP HONOR

it was during the repulse of long distance airplane raid. As an exam pie of the lavishness with which the crosses are handed out correspond ent of the Associated Press was pes ent at a luncheon party of eight at the main headquarters in 1915, where the seven Germans present all had been decorated and not q single one of them had ever been under fire.
 During the Franco Prussian war about one in every twenty participants was given an iron cross, and except in the case of high military command CTS and sons of royalty, it was award ed only for exceptional bravery in the field.
 The value of the iron cross now has become so debased, because of the vast quantities granted and the number of swivel chair heroes who have through their influence received them, that the establishment of new order for valor is being talked of.

Special Correspondence A. p.

COPENHAGEN, July 8.--(By Mail. l.)-That 2,200,OOO iron crosses of the second class and 49000 of the first class have been awarded during the war is shown by announcements pub lished in Berlin which have been re- ccived here. Of this number 3,660 were conferred upon individuals be hind the front" but 1t is certain that the number of persons wearing the decoration who have never been un- der fire is even larger. The classifca- ton behind the front probably ap- plies only to nOncombatants engaged in war service, and not to individ- uals, like van Jagpw and other civil ians, who from time to time have been stationed at the main headquar- ters.
 A horde of wea-ers of the iron cross have been simply employed at the headquarters and by the staff; never smelling powder unless perhaps
