By Lydia NJ. Durham 0'Neil
Wars shadow DER our land may fall,
And enemies assail US;
Our flag shall float above it all,
Our sons shall never fail US!
We seek no war on land sea,
But cherish still our liberty!
We have no hateful battle cry,
But for our homes We'll fight and die!
| didn't raise my boy to be coward
| brought him up in truth and bravery!
When duty calls his voice shall answer clearly,
His mind and soul shall know no slavery!
America shall still be free,
To tyrants never bend the knee;
His country's proud defender he,
true and valient soldier
What though drop of blood were shed,
No bond of love sundered,
If truth and liberty were dead,
Where their voices numbered!
My boy is mine! But | and he,
Freeborn must still unfettered be!
Our gallant sons, with shining swords,
Defend our shores from foreign hordes!
l didn't raise my boy to be a coward,
To dread the bugle-call martial drumming.
When duty calls, his voice shall answer clearly,
Il hear thee, o my country! I coming!'
America shall still be Free
To tyrants bend the knee;
His country's proud defender he,
A true and valient soldier

WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION to a 81

WE CALL YOUR ATTENTION to a small local ad
in this ISSUE that of Dr. Graves of Elm Springs The
doctor is selling his horse and buggy because he
has purchased Ford He is selling them because he
has just been commissioned first lieutenant in the
medical corps of the U. S. Army, and expects to be
called into service in the very near future.
THAT BIG RAIN starting Saturday afternoon and
lasting until Sunday afternoon has assured crops in
this section. The corn was needing rain and it came
just in time. Most all the harvesting over, the
hay and had been put away and opportune
time could have been chosen. 1t has been estimated
that the rain worth 100000 to this section.
CUTTING THE WEEDS doesn't seem to be the order
of the day in Springdae, regardless of the mayors
proclamation. There are many streets in Springdae
where the sidewalks practically covered with
weeds, and the weeds growing by the side of
every road in town One citizen whom we asked
about cutting the weeds gives the logical that
taxes paid the of $500 per year by the cit
izens and the cutting of the weeds is up the city
He right with reference the tax but local
pride should help the weeds well as the street
taxes.
MANY LOCAL BOYS who are anticipating that their
numbers will be drawn calling them into service have
been asking for information. We frank to ac-
knowledge that we are bit dull" on the subject our
selves. We note admonition in this mornings pa
per- calling all regstere! men to study the draft
regulations We have done that and are now consid-
erng the ACCESSIBILITY of hiring attorney to assist us
in the task About the best advice know for all the
boys is to keep their postoce address SO that NAV be
located easily and let the War Department do the rest
Proper notification will surely be forwarded to all
those drawn, and will doubtless contain necessary in
formaton-but watch the newspapers and bulletin
boards for your numbers

Chase Lasts Hours.

This was thoroughly done after a
hunt lasting nearly three hours. This
action. 1t should be remembered, oc-
CURED in waters which the Germans
regard as practically one of their lin
land seas" The Cattegat is the gate
way to the Baltic. The scene of. the
fight is500 miles from the nearest Brit
ish coast. but less than 200 miles from
KieL. The Germans held their favorite
interior lines" while the British forces
had to cross the North sea, go up
through the Skaggerack and then
around Skaw.
The Germans had every chance to ex-
ecute a coup, cutting OF the retreat of
the British forces by bringing superior
units up the coast to the entrance of
the Skaggeraek. That they did not care
to attempt this is evidence of their ap-
probation of the Initiative and resource
Of the British navy.
On the occasion Of the British victory
on October II the fight occurred not
in the North sea, but on Germany's
doorstep: not at night but in daylight;
not hurriedly or neryously, for sixty
four prisoners were taken, drowning
men rescued from the water, thus pro-
yiding another vivid contrast between
German and British methods of war
fare Moreover, no non-combatant lives
were lost or endangered in the British
action. whereas the Germans ruthlessly
and unnecessarily sacrificed scores of
innocent neutrals. The return of the
British squadron to its base was quiet
and unostentatious. By nightfall they
were Off again on their business of
sweeping the sea.

Reached Danish Shore.

Her captain. Herr Lauterbach. was
wounded, but reached the Danish shore
safely. HIS ship. which had four guns
and a crew of ninety, was suddenly
attacked" he said. in an interview
with IA Danish newspaper man after
ward. "by a feet of British destroyers
and the shells fired by them descended
with such rapidity that the men on the
Marie were almost unable to use the
guns. Only few shots were fired
before the ship was a mass of flames"
British and American naval men who
have been on the China station in
years past will remember Capt. Lauter-
bach. He was known from Shanghai to
Vladivostok as Baron Munchausen"
and is said to have been the most un-
popular German naval officer in the far
east.
sLauterbach's naval reputation will
probably suffer from the Cattegat bat
tie. His report that he fired his guns
as long as possible is denied by his own
men. who declared that Lauterbach was
seized with funk as soon as the enc
my appeared and that not single shot
was fired from the Marie's guns. The
British commander concentrated his
fire, first of all, on the Marie. and then
detached his fastest vessels to round up
the escorting patrol vessels.
