crisis, and to be ashamed of the meanness of soul which would shape American policies either by old world antiquities or by such an ab- surdity as holding a modern nation responsible for what the great-great- grandfathers of the present citizens did In connection with our great great grandfathers. We have got enough to do in attending to the faults of the present day. We need not go back for generations to think of them. - want to call further attention to this: come here fto one of the old thirteen states which joined in
 the Declaration of Independence. We
 are very, very proud, and rightly
 proud. of what the men of the Revo-
 lution did, and of why they did it;
 and ask you to remember this. that
 the deeds for which we rightfullly de-
 clarUd our independence and won to
 war in l776 were utterly trivial com
 pared to the infamous cruelty and
 wrong inflicted upon us by Germany
 today.
 And the wrongs that she has done to us are utterly trivial compared to
 the wrongs that she has inflicted
 upon other peoples: and she did that she embarked on that course ot
 policy she avowed that signal brutal
 ity, her belief in the efficiency of the policy of Schrecklichkeit, that Is the policy of horror-because she count ed on the element of cowardice in the rest of mankind. She believed that if she murdered the Belgian people
 10h nvNN 1nf< only WnIIN COW Belgium into a sudden fear ol her power, but that she would COW the rest of the world-that she would COW the United States. And. for considerable period, 1t looked as if her belief was right.
 The ablest ally. as far as we are concerned, of the German militarist has been the American pacif1st. The man who def1es weakness. the man who tries to deprive his countrymen, not only of the material but of the moral and spiritual attributes neces- sary for self-defense. is the ablest and most contemptible ally of the alien wrongdoer.
 We have heard, at times, a good deal since we went into the war. of the conscientious objector. I have been asked If I did not respect any mans conscience. I have said: "Yes, but if his conscience makes him act like either a knave or a fool. I would advise him to take 1t out and look at it, so as to be sure that it was healthy"
 Now, there are various types of people who call themselves consciep- tious objectors. Most of them are not conscientious at all. Most of them are plain timid, or else they desire ease, personal safety, or they wish to escape any irksome duty Those I would weed out and I would make them go to war; only would not let them wear soldiers uniforms. would make them accompany the men and do all the dirty work that did not have to be done by the fighting men.

BERNSTORFF'S SON

Ambulance Driver Also Describes
 Experience in Gas Attack

Several of the most interesting of William Buelrs letters to his parents in this city are printed below. He descripes his first experience with the terrible gases which the "War Lord of Europe" thinks will help him in his scheme for world conquest. There are two kinds of gases which we have encountered so far but there is a third kind which is far more deadly" he writes. "The third kind strangles and eats away the flesh where there is precipitation on a per sons body. There will be no halfway business, we are out to get Fritz" he states. Incidentally he remarks that he visited asprison camp where Count von Bernstorf's son, a captain in the German army. is . prisoner
 Somewhere in France.
 Sept. 3, 1917. Dear Father and Mother:-
 Several of us went to the 1Boche prison camp yesterday Count von Bernstorf's son is a prisoner there. He Is a aptain in the German army. We tried to take his picture but he would hide his face. I secured Boche helmet and gas mask. We cut the buttons off the clothes of sev- eral of the prisoners.
 Several Boche aviators flew over us last night and dropped bombs all around. We have . narrow trench about six feet deep in which we all sleep. In a trench tho chance of get ting hit by fragments from the bombs is very slight as the bomb must land directly in the trench or else the pieces go over our heads. There is not one chance in a hundred of one landing in Q trench only wide enough for one to squeeze anto."

The tongue of the chameleon is
wonderfully extensile and extensi-
BILE. A naturalist says: ''By the for
mer word | mean the distance it
can be thrown out of the mouth.
BY the latter word its own elonga-
ton is inferred, for | am sure there
is not space sufficient in the lower
part Of the mouth to accommodate
the eight inch tongue which can be
thrown out unless it is greatly con
tracted again. We know that it lies
''folded" in the mouth, but it folds
into a very small space, and when
| have held a chamelon's mouth
wide open to try to get sight of
this remarkable member it lies so
,compactly in the loose lower lip
that to see it is next to impossible. "

THE TSIENTANG BORE.
A Foaming, Roaring Wall OF Water
That Sweeps All Before It.


In the estuary Of the Tsientang
river, which enters Hangkow bay
in China, there is a remarkable
bore, greater even than that at the
head Of the Bay of Fundy, the SIX
teen foot bore in the Amazon or
the great bore of the Gauges. At
every tide it rushes up the river,
dashing most violently against the
north shore, which is protected for
about fifty miles, from Haining to
Hangkow, by an embankment that
was built more than 1000 years
ago.
"Die Wunder der Welt' says that
the bore enters the Tsientang river
in the form of a great foaming,
laundering wall of water from nine
teen to thirty feet high, reaching
even greater heights during high
winds or the full moon, and ad
yances for seventy to eighty miles,
diminishing as it progresses.
The spectacle is most striking.
On still nights the approach of the
bore, while it is yet more than a
mile away, is heralded by a roar like
that of Niagara. As it advances
the noise becomes louder, all YES
sells flee to sheltered coves in search
of safety, and not even great steam
ships dare to face the flood during
its early stages, for it would over
whelm them or cast them on the
shore.
Finally the threatening torrent
arrives, leaping forward, milk white
and roaring, with the swiftness of
a galloping horse-a veritable ty-
phoon of water. 1t continues up
stream until the level Of ocean and
river are the same; then it stops,
and the volume of water that came
up so speedily flows slowly down
again.
The outrushing river with its
broad mouth and gradually narrow
ing banks is really responsible for
the phenomenon. On the seacoast
the tide rises thirteen feet or so.
The outpouring water of the Tsien-
tang acts like a receding undertow
and, pushing in under the body of
the tidewater causes the top of the
wave to topple over. More water
flows down, and the performance is
repeated until the great bore is
born and starts on its four hour
journey up the river.

Absentminded GEORGE DYER.

at Clifford's inn lived George Dyer.
who lives in history chiefly as the man
who walked out of Elias house in
Colebrooke row and into the New river,
neck deep, and had to be revived by
Lamb and his sister with hot brandy
Lamb was never tired of relating the
incident. Dyer. an inoffensive, absent
minded old scholar, had Leigh Hunts
friendship as well as Lambs, and the
other essayist has told how, calling Oh
Dyer in answer to an invitation to
breakfast, it was to find no butter. No
knives and no spout on the teapot.
Dyer was so welded to life in the inn
that he welded his laundress too.-

WAGNER as an Acrobat.

Ferdinand Praeger related an in
cident of a visit to Wagner at his
Swiss home. The two men sat one
morning on an ottoman in the
drawing room talking over the
events of the years. Suddenly Wag-
ner, who was sixty years old, rose
and stood on his head upon the otto
man. At that moment Wagner's
wife entered. Her surprise and
alarm caused her to run to her
husband, exclaiming, ''Ah, Richard,
Richard!' Quickly recovering him
self, he assured her that he was
sane and wished to show that he
could stand on his head at sixty,
which was more than Ferdinand
could do.

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
NOT FOR WAR RELIEF.
American Red Cross Director Urges
Fund For Tuberculosis Prevention.

None of the proceeds from the sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals, which are
being sold widely throughout the Unit
ed States for the benefit of the anti
tuberculosis movement, will be used
for any relief purposes, according to
statement by Ernest P. Bicknell, Ma
tional Director of the American Red
Cross.
Mr.. Bicknell says: 'The American
Red Cross is deeply appreciative of the
sympathetic interest which has inspired
the suggestion from various parts of
the United States that a certain per-
centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales
Fund, which has been used for the last
seven years exclusively for the proven
ton and treatment of tuberculosis in
the United States, be expended this
year to aid the European war suffer
ers. While the Red Cross is DESTROYS
Of securing contributions which will in
crease this war relief fund, we do not
feel justified in adopting any policy
which will tend to cripple the tubercus
losis work in this country, dependent
as it is for support to so large an ex
tent on the sale of Red Cross Christ
mas Seals. The announcement that
percentage OF the Red Cross Seal mon
ey would go to our war relief fund
might possibly increase the sale: but.
in our opinion, the final results would
show distinct loss in that part of the
proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
AT the present time there are over
1,2OO anti-tuberculosis societies distrib
uted through nearly every state in the
Union and even in Porto Rico, the
Canal Zone and far off Hawaii, which
are dependent almost entirely upon the
receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale
for their work during the year 1916. The
people of the United States must sup
port this local war against tuberculo
sis, which annually kills 100000 people
and at the present time is leaving
trail OF million wounded"

are not absolutely certain to look jUst
