man airplanes, inside the German

uncounted.

Mother Arrived Too Late.
Paris. Sept. 26.-Behind the bare
official announcement OF the death Of
Sergt. Douglas Masmonagle, Of San
Francisco, killed in an air battle
with two Germans, lies one Of the
most poignant tragedies of the war,
the Herald says. Almost at the mo-
ment the young American met his
fate, his mother was completing a
6.000-mile journey to see her only
son.
Macmonagle seemed to have pre-
sentiment Of his fate. A few days
previous In Paris he said:
"If they get me you may bank on
it mother will have the consolation
of knowing passed out fighting and
doing my best, as she would wish it."

do you see the significance Of the
cooings of peace which come from
Berlin? They are intended to weak
EN- our efforts before the new world
In which we are in search has been
discovered-a world for which the
free nations have armed themselves
for contest and will not cease until
this world has been founded.
ANY human being who asks for
peace on any other terms than un-
conditional surrender is asking ano-
ther and still greater war. Peace
Will only come when the supreme
confidence the Germans have in their
instrument Of armor and their world
dominating aim are brought to de-
feat. That Is the only road to peace"

John Horgan, OF the Slnton Hotel,
Cincinnati, Ohio, Is noted for his re-
tentive memory and his ability to re-
member faces. His explanation Of
his rare gift is: "Attcntion comes
first. When you meet a man look
squarely into his face for second
and forget everything else in the
world. Fitch his features into your
brain; you can do 1t If You will keep
practicing."

HOLLAND and SPAIN
REFUSE TO FOLLOW

Washington, Feb. 9.-The Neither
lands government, through the Ameri-
can legation at The Hague, has for
mally declined to accept President
Wilson's suggestion that it follow the
course of the United States and break
off diplomatic relations with Germany.
Information to this effect reached
here in confidential dispatches from
Holland
Spain's note, which it is understood
formally declines to accept President
Wilson's suggestion that 1t break off
diplomatic relations with Germany,
was received at the state department,
but not made public.
1t also was said in the dispatches
that The Netherlands government had
made a protest against unrestricted
submarine warfare and that at the
same time negotiations had been
opened with Great Britain for the re-
duction of its mine field.

Berlin Public Is Prepared for
Actual Conflict.
FAVOR SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN
Officials and Bulk Of People Desire to
Avoid HostiIities in Any Way Con.
sistent With Naval Policy.

Copenhagen, Feb. 12.-Little hope or
expectation exists in Berlin that war
with the United States is avoidable or
that modus vivendi reconciling the
policies of the two governments can
be found.
There now is desire on the part of
the authorities and q vast bulk OF the
people to avoid actual hostilities In
any way consistent with the general
lines of the present submarine policy,
but only in such a way.
Accordingly, instructions were CIV
en- to submarine commanders before
they started on their February mis-
sion to take the safe side when neu-
trail vessels, particularly American,
were in question, whenever possible.
Enemy merchantmen, when recognize
ed as such, were ordered to be sunk
at sight, but neutral merchantmen
were to be warned when such action,
in their Judgment, was consistent with
the object of the campaign and the
safety of their own ships.
It was realized, however, after the
prompt and resolute stand taken by
President Wilson, that these orders
could only be palliative and only de-
fer, not avoid, an ultimate break. 1t
was seen also that if President VIII
son stood by his announcement that
an act OF hostility, casus bell1 must
come sooner or later, probably sooner,
on account of the number of Ameri-
cans on enemy ships.
Not Subject to Punishment.
Moreover, there was the discretion
airy nature of the instructions to sub
marine commanders, who were inform
cd that while the careful course to-
wards neutrals was recommended and
desired, they would no longer be sub
ject to punishment for departing from
their former procedure OF warning III
they found this advisable.
It is considered that the only posi-
bility of the avoidance of hostilities
would result from modification OF
it's standpoint by one or the other side
and so far as could be Judged from the
positive declarations Of DR.. Alfred
Zimmerman, the German minister OF
foreign affairs, and other officials,
there was no probability that Germany
would give way this time or abandon
the ruthless campaign now started.
German-American relations again
and again have passes through crises
apparently almost hopeless, but this
time the crisis is more difficult than
the former ones and even the optimist
can scracely see any peaceful agrees
out of the impasse.

DOug'S Smile Is
 From Hts Heart.

Douglas Fairbanks was recently asked by an inQuisitiye friend to ac- count for his almost permanent smile.
 "I got into the habit of grin ming" replied Doug, from sheer delight at being alive and strong. "
 What appeals to you mostly in your screen work?" the inquisitive friend again questioned.
 Best CT all in moving picture work" said the star. "is the con- .sciousness of having to give an ec- onomic quality to the happiness you impart to millions of people. The tired business man goes to the film theatre to get a laugh. He not Jnly receives his laugh, but he ox. ercises the emotional side of him irons out his emotions, so as to speak. He is better prepared to meet life's battles.
 "A man relaxrs when he laughs, and relaxation means emotional strength. It isn't the laughter that gives us the strength, it's the ex- ercise of the emotions. This is clearly proven by the fact that we feel just as refreshed by a good cry as we do by good laugh"
