"Frankfort-on-0 ODER, July 20. 1916.
INV Dear Louise The contents of your
last letter would have hurt me had / not
known that your thoughts of our glorious
war resulted from sheer ignorance.
"You are In a country rendered effeminate
by the influence Of old-fashoned ideas Of
liberty, a country which is at least two CEN
turies behind ours. You are in need OF a
good dose of Prussian culture.
at is evident that you, Swiss girl, with
your Frerch sympathies, cannot understand
how my heart the heart Of young German
girl, passionately desired this war. Speak
ing of IL some years ago, my father said TO
US: Children, Germany is getting too small
for us; we shall have TO go TO France again
in order 10 find more room Is it orr fault
If France will not understand that more
money and land are necessary for us?
and you reproach US that our soldiers
have been very cruel TO the Belgian rabble,
and you speak also of the destruction OF
Rheims, and Of the burning of villages and
towns Well, that is war. As in every other
undertaking. We are past masters in the max
ing Of war.
'You have a great deal to learn before you
can come up to our standard, and | can as
sure you that what has been done so far IS
mere bagatelle compared with what will
follow.
"As a matter Of fact, there is but one race
worthy OF ruling the world, and which has
already attained the highest degree OF civil
zation. That race is ours, the Prussians; for
though we Germans in general are the lords
of the world, the Prussian is undoubtedly the
lord par excellence among the Germans.
"All other nations, and among them, unfor-
tunately, the Swiss, are degenerate and Of in
ferior worth. That Is why have always been
70 proud Of being true Prussian
yesterday. again, our pastor explained TO
US convncingly that our first parents. Adam
and Eve, were also Prussian. That is quite
easy to understand, because the Bible tells us
that the German God created Us all after his
own image. II, then. all men are descended
from Adam and his wife, it follows that only

Rule of the ROad-at Sea

The rule Of the road has lately been
under discussion in relation to the London
streets, so we may remark that the rule Of
the road at sea is to keep to the right,
or, as Ward & Locks newly published
Wonder Book Of the Sea" remarks, the
rule is for ships to pass port to port" port
meaning the left-hand side of a ship and
starboard the right-hand side. These are
distinguished at night BY green light and
a red light, respectively, so sailors, who
memorize things by putting them into
rhyme, say:

We may add that novices have to fami-

to fix it in the minds Of his pupils by ask

they would never forget that port was red.
The French marine still clings to "tri-

but they are terms which are liable TO be-
confused in shouting at sea.

No reason was given by Mr.. Laftman
for the failure of the two athletes VINO

M'COURT WINS
THREE-CUSHION
BILLIARD CROWN
Cleveland Man Defeats George
w. Moore, Champion, by
$50 to 1922
By BRIGGS

Charles A. McCourt, of Cleveland, re-
gained the three-cushion billiard cham
pionship for the second time within a
year when he defeated George w.
Moore, of this city, the title holder, in
the final block Of points at Doyle's
Academy last night. The final score
for the three nights play was $50 to
100.
The challenger won last nights block
by 80 to 33, making the second block he
captured during the series. Moore
started off strongly By winning the first
block, 30 TO ~, on last Wednesday
night. McCourt passed his opponent
Thursday night, when he counted So
points to Moore's 80.
The final match was lacking in SEN
sational features, each player counting
a high run Of 3 carroms. McCourt re-
sorted to safety play often when pro-
spectiye shots did not appear promising.
Tho match ended after siXty-fve inn
ings.
Three challenges are already in
against McCourt for a try at the title,
but the new champion will first have to
face VI. ID. Lean, of Chicago. Robert
Cannipe, of st. Louis. and Alfredo De
Orc also desire chance to win the
crown.

High School defeated Erasmus Hall
High School by a score of l to 0.
On the whole, the hockey displayed
was better than that of the opening
matches last Saturday. The puck was
followed more closely and there was
better teamwork.
st. Johns Prep had matters its own
way from the start, keeping its OPP
ponents on the defensive, with Small
and Kramer leading in the attack.
Larry Hughes, at goal, turned aside
many Boys High shots. Kramer and
Small tailed in the first half, while
Lowe and McMurrer added another
goal each in the second period.
Manual made its winning goal within
the first two minutes of play, when
Phillips the rover, snatched the disk
from a scrimmage and scored in l:45.
Both sevens put up a strong defence
during the remainder Of the game, with
Manual vainly trying TO increase its
score. .,
Erasmus Hall bombarded the rival
cage several times in the second half,
but Cooper, the Manual goal tender,
stopped every shot.
