Stockholm, Via London), March
27.-Dr. Albert o. w. Suedekum, one
of the best known leaders of the ma
jority socialists in the Reichstag, in
an interview here with the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press said
that whoever thought the submarine
war was going to bring England to
starvation in six months was deceiv-
ing himself. He added, however, that
such a result was not necessary tor
German victory. which he declared
was certain, with indemnity.
DR.. Suedekum said he was con-
WINGED that England hitherto had
been sending only enough troops to
the continent TO keep its allies con-
tented, but that now it was necessary
for it to change course. He declined
to hazard a prediction on the result
OF the possible participation of Amer
lea in the war on the side OF the en-
tente, but added:
Anyhow America has been viz
tually in the war practically since the
beginning. If it had not been for
American ammunition the war would
have ended in 1915"
In reference to statement attrib-
uted to Former Ambassador Gerard
that the food situation might affect
Germany's military strength DR..
Suedekum said:

LINER ST. LOUIS
HAS EXCITING TRIP
Big Ship is Driven at Full Speed
Through Danger Zone, With
ALI Ready for Fight.
NO SUBSEA IS SIGHTED

Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
London, Monday, March 26.-(De-
layed by Censor 1.-The ST. Louis,
the first passenger vessel carrying the
American flag to cross the Atlantic
since Germany's declaration o, unre-
stricted submarine destruction and
the first armed American liner to en-
ter European port since the war
began, arrived this morning. 1t car
ried a meager number of passengers
-thirty-three all told-but its holds
were filled to capacity with noncon-
traband freight. The St. Louis came
through without interruption. No
submarines were sighted, nor were
there at any time any indications that
German undersea boats were after
the big liner. If any of them saw the
St. Louis they made no attempt to
destroy it, but kept carefully away
from the guns of the American ship
But signs of war were not lacking
and the last three days aboard were
anxious ones for passengers and crew
alike. On Friday, and agin on Satur-
day, after the St. Louis entered the
forbidden zone, driftwood was passed
apparently parts of destroyed life
boats. Yesterday a great field of oil
was encountered. Vague rumors of
the sinking of ships either ahead of
or near the St. Louis increased the
nervous tension.
For three days and nights the cap
tain did not leave the bridge and
never in its twenty-five years of ex-
istence has the American ship been
driven so furiously as it was from the
time it passed into the zone until it
was picked up by pilot.
The journey was virtually without
incident until the war zone was
reached. Unusual precautions were
taken as soon as the liner passed
the Ambrose light, but as it neared the
danger point even the life RATS and
collapsible boats were made ready for
immediate use. Rehectors were
strung up fore and aft and carbide
lights were tied along the rails for
use in event the St. Louis became the
victim Of torpedo or gun fire.

sary to keep in mind this one fact,
that no law is stronger than the SEN
timent back of it.
"The advocates OF prohibition did
not submit to the people question
OF being bone dry" and they
pledged themselves not to interfere
with personal rights. Applause from
the gallery is not an element to be
considered in this connection.
As to Disloyalty.
why this cry of horror, if the
senate does not see 1t to accept the
bill line for line as it comes from
the house. There is too much of this
cry of disloyalty in the state and ma

Senator Albert said the greatest
furore had been raised over allowing
liquor dealers thirty days in which to
dispose of their stock of goods after
May |, outside the state or to drug
gists and lawful recipients within the
state.
This is only to make the transit
ton easier for that class of people
whose money we have taken to edit

A scream of Kisses and catcalls
arose from the gallery and Chairman
Tanner pounded for order.
Open Mind Is Best.
"Let us not join in this hue and
cry that clouds the judgment and
clogs the reason. Let us not be
swayed by popular applause. Let us
not condemn these amendments until
we have investigated them"

chamber and in the gallery uttered
jeers OF derision. Senator Robertson
was unperturbed
The amendment provides the boot

posed to amend the amendment back

Chatsworth.

The close of the school term of 1867
last Friday, was signalized here by out
door ceremonies incidental to the &C.
ceptance, by the school authorities, of
flag presented by the Junior Order of
American Mechanics. Addresses were
delivered by Senator Wells, former AS
semblyman Robert Peacock, of this
county, and former Assemblyman Gill,
OF Mercer county. Hon. Herbert N.
Morse acted as chairman, while George
V. Bozarth was the standard bearer.
Misses Workman and Madden, our tai
ented and popular teachers enjoyed the
reflected glory which the amazingly
complex and beautiful drill of their
pupils achieved.
Mr.. Morse beamed all over, in fact
for serene happiness and that content
ment which passeth all understanding
as our pupils demonstrated their edu-
cational and disciplinary progress, Mr..
Morse was the picture OF bliss, and well
he might be, as some years ago our
school conditions, from any angle view
ed, were extremely faulty, and when
he started to change the situation
which obtained he tackled a job which
demanded tact, responsiveness and dy-
manic energy. AS result of his eff
forts, last year new schoolhouse was
built and instead of mere handful of
pupils there have been during the year
just closed, hundred school-children
in attendance daily. With new
building our Board of Education breath
ed sigh of relief, - they hoped they
had satisfied Morse and his eternal
solicitations, but, owing to the new
conditions and the enthusiasm shown
by parents and children the new build
ing is already crowded, and the de-
mand for another and larger new school
house is being voiced, and Messrs.
George Bozarth, Vic Ritzendollar and
Mr.. MacComber are tearing their
scanty locks, and possibly losing sleep
over the proposition of where the
money to do the work is to come from.
They realize they are up against it, as
Morse is irresistible and will hardly be
satisfied until this section is among
the foremost Of the school centres of
state.
Eloquence was expected from the
speakers and the audience was not dis
appointed on this line, the perilous
times we are living in affording a
theme, and the raising of Old Glory
acting as background for the grace
full and vigorous utterances which we're
impassioned and full of appropriate
feeling.
Mrs. George Bozarth entertained the
guests at dinner, and 1.-THE end of a
pleasant day''wa made memorable by
the many mutual expressions of regard,
and hope for an early renewal of school
reunions.
Mrs. Mary Davis extended an invita-
ton to all to go to Johnson Place next
Friday to celebrate the dedication
of the teachers home in that locality,
and so while other localities have their
bridge and five hundred parties, our
enjoyments and pleasures are contain
ed in the benefits we bestow upon the
children of our township. The pines"
are setting pace, which our other
school districts would do we'll to wa tch
and follow.
