The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1917-04-16

For a moment little book, I saw
those hands moving frantically and
then a wave hid them from sight. l
looked again for the sleek head Of
Dick near the raft and realized with
a mingled feeling of Joy and fright
that he had started to the rescue.
It seemed to me that the ife-sav-
ers were hours getting their boat
launched. Would Dick be able to
hold Malcolm until the life-saVers
came, I wondered. How will l feel
if he cannOt?" I said to myself. "Oh,
God, what will I do if l must choose
between them?"
Altogether I seemed to be acting
a part in which I had no vOlitiOn.
Certainly now had come the climax
of my more or less tUmultuOus life.
Strange, isn't it, little book, what
things come into ones mind at such
crises. My teeth we're chattering, my
heart was beating like trip ham
meT.. I had waded out. into the wa
ter until every incoming wave took
me off my feet, and yet all the time
another Margie WaVerly was, in
detached way, analyzing the strange
tragedy that had come into the life
of that other Margie.
The head far out almost beyond
the pier was bObbing up again, but
you could see Malcolm was in great
distress and growing weaker all the
time. Dick was swimming with
somewhat unsteady strokes toward
him and it seemed to me he, too, was
Overtaxing his strength.
Upon the shore there was great ex-
element and the boat was just be-
ing put off. There was a cheer for
both men that rang to me and l won
dered if either man heard it.
Keep up courage. We're coming"
some one shouted.
The boat passed very near to me.
Better get in shore, lady. We can't

Dick had deliberately turned and
was swimming back.
Evidently the men in the boat did
not see him, for they went on toward
where Malcolm had disappeared. A
man shot over the side of the boat
as 1 looked again.
Don't let him drown, don't let him
drown" l shouted, not realizing for
the moment that by no possibility
could those men out there hear me.
could not see what was happening.
A wave took me off my feet again
and l got a sensation of strangling.
I did not lose my head, however, but
struck out for the surface. When l
came to the top l saw the men evil
IDENTIFY still hunting for Malcolm and
Dick swimming toward me with
calm, even strokes.
For a moment such a wave Of hate
dashed over me l wished Dick would
drown before my sight. That wish
was an awful thing to come into the
mind of any wife, little book, but
wonder how many wives have wished
it before me. Surely many, many
women nave gone through with the
same situation in which l found my
self.
They have found that their hus-
bands are towards not worthy
Of loving, and perhaps they, like l,
have been put to the torture of see
ing the men they thought worthy of
their love dying before their eyes
and they were pOwerless to help.
My God, little book, in those few
minutes l lived lifetime, for I must
confess to you all the time my heart
was clamoTing so loudly that I could
not even hear the bomb of the waves.
''The man you love is dying and the
man you hate is coming to you, a liv-
ing being"
strained my eyes toward the life
boat. l saw them lift over the side a

peace when they talk it?''ssthe premier asked He had followed every line they had uttered, watched their newspapers and ..the truth is the Prussian war lords have not yet abandoned their ambitions. They are not discussing tl<t. They are only discussing the postponement of those ambitions.
 Premier Lloyd George said there were people who would introduce disintegrating methods in the British army and set up committees to direct the war.
 sThe nation has set up it's own work mems and soldiers council and that is the House of Commons, he said. adding that Great Britain Scould not allow sec tionai organizations to direct the war nor to dictate peace,
 'sThe nation as a whole makes war, he continued. 'and the sacrifices arc The nation as a whole must make peace As 1t is common sacrifice. 1t must also be a common settlement.
 The premier implored all Britons to keep their eyes steadily on winning the war. After describing the Pan German dream of world conauest which he said would place. Europe at the mercy of a great and scruel power he asked.
 "Wrhat would have happened in Amer ca? The Monroe doctrine would have been treated like any other scrap of pa per It is a doctrine to which Germany will never subscribe not that the fact that 9she has not appended her signature makes any difference. But we know hei ambitions in South America. Not a year after.the termqination of this peace would have elapsed before she would have start ed realizing those ambitions and Amer ica would have been helpless.
 The allied powers from the first mo- nient felt instinctively that great men ace to human liberty had appeared or f1,n o,,1 r-fth JAl o11 ,o cepted the challenge. America fully real izes why we did so and she is with us for that eason.''
 At the. conclusion of the premier's speech the meeting passed unanimously a resolution recording 'its infiexible de. termination to continue to victorious end the struggle for the maintenance oi those ideals of liberty and justice which |are the common and sacred cause of ths alltesy
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-08-05

Challenging the good faith of the Ger man Emperor and Chancellor Michaelis in their peace talk, which he denounced as subterfuge for the Pruss.an war lords to gain time for the next time, the premier shouted:
 There must be no next time. Don't let us repeat this horror.
 Let us be a generation that manfully, courageousy and resolutely eliminated war from amongst the tragedies of hu- man life. Let us make victory, at any rate, so complete that national liberty, whether for great nations or for small nations can never be challenged.
 ~The nations of the world have been climbing painfully up the steps that led to national independence and self-respect
 and now comes great power with brute force to thrust the nations back crushed and bleeding into the chasm of servitude. That is what we have been fighting.
 Replying to the German Emporers as- sertion that Germany is carrying on a defensive war, Premier Lloyd George said:
 He knows, he must know, that that is untrue. That is not why he went to war; that Is not why he is at war now. He talks modestly about defending Ger man soil. Whoever wanted to invade Ger many? Even now neither he nor his new chancellor says that they will be sat isfied with German soil.
 They talk glibly of peace, but stammer and stutter when they come to the word restoration It has not yet crossed their lips in it's entirety.
 We have challenged them, They can not say it.
 Pointing to the soldiers in the audience, the premier declared they are gradually curing the Kaiser of his stuttering. So far he has not learned the alphabet of peace, not the first letter of that alphabat, res that's the first letter Then we will talk

High Commissioner Delivers Cheering Message to War
 Secretary Baker
NATIONAL ENERGY IS GREATER THAN STRAIN
Americans Are Going to Aid of No Bloodless and Depleted Force. Spirit of Country Is
 Complimented
ax Aannciated Press

Washington. August 4.-France fs stronger today in lighting men and war material than at any time during the war, despite three years of terrific combat in which the greatest share among the allies has fallen to the French armies.
 This is the cheering message to the American people given tonight by Andre Tardieu, high commissioner of France in the United States. in formal com munication to Secretary Baker setting forth a detailed statment of what the devotion of the French people has made possible. It contains stunning figures as to the men, guns and money they. have contributed to the war. It breathes the spirit of confidence and high courage that still animates the nation
 It asserts without hesitation that the United States is to aid in striking the last blow at the foe.
 Such is the situation" says M. Tar dieu in conclusion. Severe was the or deal; stronger is the national energy
 STRIKING LAST BLOW
 Now it Is a question of striking tha last blow to the adversary. You will hel us.
 But at the moment when American soldiers arrive in France, it is proper to let them know what they will find, to receive them, in countrskwhich, today, as well as during the paN three years, bears the principal exerton of our dread full foe; country which maintains to the maximum of her power. without he's itation and without weakness, her strength, her means and her will" Secretary Baker pays high compliment to the spirit of France in his brief reply. American officers are unanimous, he says, in their praise of the splendid cour- age and military efficiency of the French people.
 TO SHARE GLORY
 Now that America has begun to con- tribute soldiers and materials to this war. says the secretary, ''it will be well for our people to have the story you have told, in order that we may realize that our army is going to share the inn perishable glory which belongs to the soldiers of France and her allies who have fought so long and with such in- creasing spirit and determination in the cause of libertyh
 M. Tardieu says in his statement that today there are nearly 3,0o0,0OO French troops in the zone of the armies alone, exclusive of those in the zone of the in terior and the colonies. That Is 100000 more men than were used to stem the German flood tide at the Marne and the greatest number France has ever mus tered in the fighting zone.
