CAPTAIN OF U-BOAT
 HAS FUN WITH FOE
(New York World)

There is a German submarine com mander who is known throughout the American flotilla in European waters as Kelly" His real name is quite different, but the Americans dubbed him Kelly of the Emerald Isle" and the name will stick in the songs and stories of the Navy as long as the war is talked about.
 Kelly" earned his name by his dis play of quite un-German humor. He has become the hero of stories told in the forecastle and on the quarter deck. But all of these stories are true and probably some of them have grown in the telling.
 Kelly" Commands a U-boat.
 Kelly commands e-lyaing U- boat which pays frequent visits to the district patrolled by the American de- stroyers. When he has finished his appointed task of distributing his mines where they will do the most harm he generally devotes a few min utes to prank of some kind Sombe- times he contents himself with leaving note, flying from a buoy, scribbled in schoolboy English and addressed to his American enemy.
 His most audacious exploit, how ever-if the legends of the forecastle are to be believed-was trip which he made several months ago to Dub lin, where he stayed two days at a leading hotel, afterwards joining his U-boat somewhere up the west coast. He is said to have informed the Brit ish exploit by leaving his receipted hotel bill attached to one of their buoys.
 Left the Teuton Flag Flying.
 Still another of "Kelly's" more re- cent stunts was to plant the German flag on rising on the coastline It was the first time that the British and Americans knew just where he and his men had set foot and they shared the excitement of the village folk who awoke one morning to find a new kind of flag flying from their native soil. At first they could not make out just what it was.
 But when they made sure it was the German colors they were furious. These poor fisher folk were in no mood for this latest display of German hu- nor, so they according to report burn ed the flag and set watch for Kelly"

Shanghafed from Puget Sound
IS years ago, and unable to find
his wife and four children because
they moved away, thinking he had
deserted them, Frank Hasler, a
workingman of San Jose, made a
pathetic appeal to Tacoma police
detectives Friday afternoon.
Hasler wants aid in locating his
family.
But above all, he wants proof
that he was shanghaied, so that
he can convince Mrs. Hasler that
he did not run away.
Il don't think she'll ever take
me back unless / can prove that
they drugged me and forced me to
go to sea-" Hasler explained to
the police.
Maybe she's married again,
but God knows ! want to see my
babies again, and once more as

Hasler remembers his chill
dren as infants, altho his eldest
boy, Joe, is 23 years of age now,
and his youngest child, Anita, is
over IS. She was six months old
when he last saw her.
During the greatest part of Is
years Hasler has been trying to
find his family. But even should
he locate his wife and children,
he believes that they will refuse
to believe his story unless he can

But this man, Little by name, was
much great, much brave, much in

in being so, how true to others!
He died for his convictions, for
his hearts sake, for his tongues
sake, for his loves sake--love for
his Class" for his laboring friends
whom he knew worked too long
and too hard and to whom freedom
is largely denied. He was heroic
not because he died but lived for
his people. 81 fight for the soli-

gan. His death was an incident
of the fight, his life was the fight

Poor crippled daddy, hurried off
this wonderful earth without even
a last message permitted to that
tongue of fire!

No need to ask unless the asker is
not sure of himself. At such crises

William ID. Haywood, national l.

today in the original plan to send
the body of Frank Little, murder
ed |. w. w. executive, to Yale,
Okla, for burial.
Haywood, who is in charge of
the funeral arrangements, advised
that Titles brother had author
lied burial in Butte.
A general invitation to organic
ed labor to participate in the
demonstration which will feature
the funeral, was issued today by
the local /. w. w. union.
No hearse will be used, 20 men
will bear the casket upon their
shoulders, marching at the head
of the silent parade of thousands
OF miners who will participate.
Federal and state officials here
were swamped with kilograms of
protest over the lynching today.
Almost every l. w. w. local in the
country has sent a message of con-
domination. A particularly bitter
protest was sent by the Portland

there about a year ago, as the re-
suit OF his activity in free

/ noticed in Wednesdays issue
of your paper an article dealing
on the end of the world, etc.,
and also a moving picture of
same.
! wonder how much longer we
people will fall for this sort of
stuff. The masses of humans on
this earth are to be pitied for
being led on by this old tradi-
tional bunk
Politics and religion are alike
In this respectable the profit
out of them and you won't have
either.
Capitalism and religion work
hand in hand in all countries.
The rich men donate thousands
of dollars to build churches, de-
fray expenses of prominent min
listers, etc. Why? The answer is
easy.
/ refer you to the preacher who
said, Give gold," and also the
one who said, If you don't teach
religion in the public schools,
burn them down." This last state
ment was made by minister in
Bellingham last spring.
Mexico, Russia and also Ger
many are samples of church pow
err. The minute the church gets
the high say, we'll be taxed and
regulated to death.
Wouldn't 1t be fine thing to
put these thousands of preachers
to work on farms, factories, build
ing ships, ETC.? IT would cut out
this foreign labor proposition.
Just stop and think; every man
who makes his living off the
church, whether he be preach
err, religious editor, Bible manu-
facturer, agent, and so Son-put
them producing something. And
also, couldn't they shoulder a
gun for Uncle Sam?
