Here are two pictures, which do you
most admire? First q German u
boat, with captured crew Of an Eng
lish merchant ship lined up on deck,
deprived Of their life belts, and their
life boats smashed by their captors,
and they left to drown AZ the U-boat
deliberately submerges beneath them.
1t isn't . pleasant picture; let rs turn
10 the other. Here we see another
German U-bcat, its crew lined up on
deck, hands in the air in surrender
and app. alipg for mercy to an Ameri-
can destroyer that has damaged their
boat. Tie L boat sinks before all can
be taken Oh, and American bluejackets
plunge into the water to rescue some
OF the struggling Germans. On board
they are given food and dry clothing,
and one who died from injuries was
buried with military honors. Too
good for them, you sayf Yes, toe
good for them, too good for the gov
eminent for which they are fighting,
but harsher treatment at the sacrifice
OF our self-respect is not worth the
cost. 1t is worth something to be
citizen of the country under WHOSE
flag that destroyer sails.

Unofficial information has been re-
ceived that several German officers
are in Petrograd acting in an advisory
capacity to the Lenine government,
at present in control Of Petrograd
and Moscow, but by no means in con-
troll of Russia. II is no more than
expected. Lenine has all along been
considered an advance agent for Ger
man propaganda in Russia. Should
official confirmation of the report be
received, it will be followed promptly
by action on the part of the United
States and its allies. definitely to
place the Bolsheviki regime in the
list OF Germany's allies.
