FESTUs WINS FROM
STE. sGENEVIEVE

The Festus High School boys and
the Ste. Genevieve High School bows
played a fast, close game Of basket
ball on the Pennington court last
Saturday night, Festus winning by a
score Of 80 to 35, thereby clinching
the championship of the northern di.
vision Of the Lead Belt League.
The game started off slow but soon
both teams were playing with lots of
pep" and vim, fighting hard for VIC
tory. Neither team scored until the
first half was about half over. The
first half ended with the score II to
. IN favor of Ste. Genevieve. The Sec
ond half started off with both teams
lighting harder than in the first, and
soon Festus began to pile up a nice
score. About the middle of the half
the score was tied for short time
but soon Festus had the score in their
favor and kept it there until the ref
cree blew the final whistle. The final
score as above stated was 80 to IS in
'avor of Festus.
There We're no special stars but were
VI stars, and all played clean basket

The eleven Senators who conducted
the filibuster that defeated the Press
idents proposed defense plan against
the German submarine menace, and
Inundated the nation in the eyes Of
the world, have succeeded in placing
themselves IN the spotlight Of uni
versal Contempt. The cast!gation
they are qe:ting all over the country
is as deserved as it is 5eyera. And
our own "Gufa-shoe" Bill Stone is not
faring much better for his inconsist-

their minds and :he encouragement it
these "slackerss to keep supl

GERMANY's DOUBLE DEALING

Germany's official word it appears
cannot be depended upon under any
conditions, and she has "a little re-
spect for the rights Of others as for
her solemn pledges. Germany's ruth
less disregard Of Belgium's neutrali-
~ in forcibly invading that little
kingdom, butchering her people and
devastating her homes and cities be-
cause the latter insisted on maintain
ing her neutrality, was but natural
manifestation Of the Pan-Germanic
spirit. Her piratical submarine war
fare on merchantmen, torpedoing and
sinking them without warning or
search for contraband freight, was
but another manifestation Of her dis
regard of world opinion and all ac-
cepted rules Of international warfare.
When called to account for this lat
ter by the United States and warned
TO desigt, Germany acknowledged her
violations, conceded that the claims
Of the United States were just, prom
Used indemnity CD for the lives Of
American citizens ruthlessly murdered
by her piratical practice, and pledged
herself 10 observe the rules Of war
fare-of warning, search and an OPP
portunity for passengers and crew to
ESCAPE with their lives. What did
her pledges amount to? Like the
treaty rites Of Belgium they were
as 20 many scraps Of paper. There
was no sincerity back Of them. As
a matter Of expediency she thrust
them aside as Of no value or binding
effect, and gave notice of the briefest
character that she purposed to re-
sumo her ruthless piratical submarine
warfare, to torpedo and sink without
warning any neutral, as well as bel .
ligercnt, vessels that yentured within
a sea boundary Of her naming--that .
they would enter this prescribed area
at their peril. 1t was bald repudis-
ton Of her pledged word to the Unit
ed States to respect American life
and neutral rights on the high seas
another manifestation that her word
and pledges were but diplomatic
treachery.
All this time Germany was pro-
Tossing friendship for the United
StateS, desire to remain on friendly
terms and cement long-standing
friendship. She knew she was out !
raging American confidence in her
word and the desire Of the American !
people to avoid war, and that her last
act was a contemptuous affront to J
American patience that could not be ;
rocked with national honor, so days o
'efore she uttered her intention TO d
esume her murderous submarine j
'racticc, she began to plot and con- c
pire against the United States. Her il
'oreign Secretary, Herr Zimmerman, u
"SSa NfNiVh5 aSIb liiIOuRH the tIef- +"
ian Minister at Washington, sought Il
inveigle Mexico, by promises Of p
nancial help and the inspiration Of a
vain hope of recovering Texas, New Of
Iexico and Nevada, to seduee Japan OF
join her in war against the Unit ri
] States. This while Germany was st
J the while protesting the greatest it
'iendship and consideration for the Sdt
nited States. 1t there ever had been al
~ doubt that President Wilson was DR.

lations with Gcrmany-@hich there til

AGAINST POLITICS.

Speaking before a fair-sized audi

on Jewish Ideals and the Jewish
Congress-" declared: THE congress

menting the Jews of Brunswick for
the interest they show in spiritual
matters and for their fine temple and
Sunday school classes, he appealed to
then to choose for their representa-
tive to the congress a broad-minded
person, who would represent all the
factions in Jewry. His talk was from
the Zionistic standpoint.

Hemmellmann, "to find that even
our own sanguine expectations have
been surpassed. 1t was the right
thing to select Brunswick as the
scene for our operations. There has
been no change in any policy of our
management, and no melons cut at
this time; in fact, 1t was merely a
directors meeting attending to rou.
tine of directorship."
DR.. Enderle said: Il am always
glad to visit Brunswick, even if | did

ports when | come 1t seems to me
that Brunswick's streets are more
crowded, business has a livelier ali
and everything is booming faster

mate and the hospitable people"

WAL TER NANGUM
KEEPS UP WORK
PRACTICALLY ALL LARGE BOATS
BELONGING HERE ARE READY
FOR SERVICE.

Because Of an erroneous impression
received by some about the local
work of organizing in the new naval
reserve under the command of Lieut.
Walter Mangum. 1t is pointed out by
him that the men and boats are want
ed for the naval coast defense. Mr..
Mangum last night said:
THE men and boats will be used
in the defense of the city of Bruins
wick and coast line of this immediate
section. Those who enroll will not
be called out except in case of war
II called out, they will be assigned
for duty off the local coast. They will
not be sent to Charleston or any 9th
er place for training.
Practically every large boat in the
harbor has been offered. Men are
coming slowly and many are wanted
as engineers, coxswains and seamen
Il will be here until Wednesday
night, at which time | go to Fernan
dina until Monday. Some one will be
left in the local office, so enrolIments
can go on just the same"
AS previously stated in The News
all applications made TO Lieut.. Man
gum are passed upon at the naval
reserve headquarters at Charleston
although Mr.. Mangums recommends
tons carry much weight in the mat
ter of acceptances or reflections OF the
boats volunteered.

But surely those days are gone. No

GAVE HER FORTUNE TO
CHARITY.
Now in Home for Aged.


Mrs. Marks Nathan, widow of the
founder of the orphan home which
bears this name, is herself an OBJ
ject Of charity, being at present an
inmate Of the B. M. Z. Old Peoples
Home, which in the years of her af
huence had received a large share
Of her philanthropy.
Mrs. Nathan was born in the little
village of Chudok, in the province
of Minsk, Russia, almost eighty
years ago. She and her husband
came to this country when he was
nineteen and she seventeen.
Becoming wealthy, Mrs. Nathan
began to study conditions, shedding
tears out of sheer sympathy for the
wretched and INDECENT, the old and
the feeble, the widows and the or
phans, and her philanthropies be-
came many.
Lacking children of their own, the
Nathans instituted an orphan home,
a refuge for little ones who lacked
paternal care and maternal devotion.
1t came to pass, the Marks Nathan
Jewish Orphan Home, financed by
the Nathans, appeared in Chicago's
life, surprising other institutions of
it's kind, the Nathans becoming faith
er and mother to numberless chill
dren
Losing her husband, Mrs. Nathan
had but one ideal, the home and it's
charges and her other numerous
philanthropies, her charity being
elastic She gave money to needy
families in Palestine and Russia, as
we'll as institutions in this country.
Her financial affairs were SO arrang
ed that she had enough to live on
for the rest of her life, but the fail
ure of the bank in which her money
was deposited caused her to lose
$1,000. Still later she gave to Louis
Nathan, an orphan she had adopted,
$4,000 to start in business. Louis
married and moved to Detroit.
With nothing left she was forced
to take up her abode among the old
people in the B. NJ Z. Home.-The

PALESTINE JEWISH INTER-
ESTS PROTECTED.


of the rupture of diplomatic rela-
tons with Germany, and in antlcl-
patton of the possibility that this
would involve American relations
with Turkey, the Provisional Execu-
tive Committee for General Zionist
Affairs took effective steps to pro-
tect the Jewish population and lnsti-
tutions of Palestine against any
additional hardship which that event
might impose upon them.
Instructions were also cabled to
substitute the present representa-
tives of the Zionist organization in
Palestine with persons who, under
the new political situation, would be
acceptable to the Turkish and Amer
lean governments. On Tuesday,
Feb. 5th, acknowledgment of these
instructions and assurances that the
necessary steps for their fulfllment
were being taken, were received
IL Jill W. INI1ld
simultaneously with the cable
gram to Copenhagen, all of the
American and foreign correspond
ents of the Zionist organization were
advised as follows:
"The Zionist Provisional Commit
tee announces that it has taken steps
whereby the financial needs of the
institutions in Palestine have been
provided for some time to come even
should unfortunately all means of
communication with the near-east
cease shortly The responsible Off
Gals in Palestine have been placed
in a position whereby they will be
able to make financial provision at
least for emergencies. To these
charges The Provisional Committee
may have to add considerably for
other purposes in order to maintain
and meet various international du-
ties. You are therefore directed to
make it known that we continue our
operations as heretofore and that it
is desirable as far as possible to con-
vert all pledges into cash SO as to
enable us to meet all emergencies
and to redouble every effort so that
we may meet every changing crisis
with courage, dignity, and re-
sources"
The possibility of "war scare"
that might result in heavy with
drawals from banks by panic strick
en- depositors was met by the Pro-
visional Committee by thinning out
of balances in it's present depositor-
les and the opening of new accounts

THE MYSTERY OF HATE.

1t is commonplace that IN our
social organism there are many in
situations, forms and customs that
are relics of former ages. They
serve no useful purpose; on the con-
trary they appear to be obstacles in
the path of progress and yet they
are not easily eradicable They per-
sist with tenacity that dehes anal ~
sis, and contradicts logic.
The same thing seems to be true
of human anatomy. Physicians tell
us that there are about 20 growths
and bones in the system that may
have served useful end in ages past
when man had not evolved to his
present stature and posture. Though
now they seem to be superfuous,
nature is slow in eliminating them
from her plans and specifications.
Equally slow is the evolution of
mans emotional nature. Hate,
possibly the outgrowth of ignorance,
fear, caution and the grim contest
for survival, ought to have been
dropped long ago from the category
of human emotions All religions
and systems of ethics condemn hate.
Doctors say it breeds poisons in the
system. Long-continued it certain
ly paints ugly lines and colors into
face and form. Ultimately almost
invariably it destroys the Halter as
we'll as the hated. 1t is a force
that strengthens the arm of treach-
cry and revenge. 1t strangles kind
ly impulse. 1t justifes low ends and
base means.
Hate is disorganizer It knows
not peace. 1t soWs dissenslon; it
reaps disruption. The group into
which it enters is doomed. Friends,
family, partnerships, associations,
alliances, all of them must go when
hate enters. 1t is the universal enc
my. 1t makes war on peace to de-
stroy peace.
Blind, unreasoning, insensate hate
has done more harm to humanity
than it is possible to calculate or
profitable to catalogue. The Jew
in particular seems to have been it's
favorite target There are many
answers offered to the inevitable
"why?" None satisfy. Like the
supposed caudal relic of our tree
climbing past, this emotion persists
long after the reason or excuse for
it's existence has disappeared. In
the dim past when tribe measured
strength with tribe in response to
an instructive impulse; when in
this contest of endurance, agility
and resourcefulness were devel-

WILSON PLANNING
 AGGRESSIVE STEPS
Authorizes Secretary of Navy to Use 115 Millions in Obtaining Coast Patrols and Submarine
 ChaSers.

Washington, March 19.-President Wilson is expected within 4S hours to indicate definitely that he believes virtual state of war exists between the United States and Germany.
 The news received from Plymouth, England, today that r. men, some of them Americans, had been drowned when the American steamship Vigl- lancia was torpedoed without warn- ing by German submarine, added if possible to the already grave view of the situation held tere, as re- suit of the destruction of the Vigi- lancia, the Illinois and the City of Memphis.
 Whether the president will hasten the extra session of congress, which has been called for April 16, or will take steps to protect American con- merce without this move, was not dis closed tonight.
 No official would pretend to know his plan, and the general view was that he is still considering the ques- tion in his usual deliberate way
 A cabinet meeting probably will ba held tomorrow afternoon, and at that time the situation arising out of the new acts of aggression on the pat of Germany is expected to be thoro!y canvassed

PLANS AGGRESSIVE ACTION. U. $. Will Act With English and
 French Patrols.

Washington, March 19.-Prepara- tions for aggressive action by the navy against the German submarine menace began today, at the direction of President Wilson.
 The president authorized the ex- penditure of the $115,oO0,00O emerg- ency fund provided by congress to speed up naval construction and pay for special additional warcraft, and suspended the eight-hour law in all plants engaged in navy work.
 Immediately afterward, Secretary of War Daniels ordered the New York navy yard to begin building 60 sub- marine chasers. of the 11O-foot type, to be completed in from 60 to 30 days.
 With the presidents approval. the president also ordered the graduation of the first and second classes at the naval academy. The first class, on March 29, will release 172 junior of ficers to fill existing vacancies, and the second. in September, will furnish POP more, full year before they would be available otherwise.
 While the energies of the navy may be concentrated for the present on ef- forts to get into commission craft designed particularly to destroy suo- marines and guard the coast. wa-- ships generally will te speeded up under the recent agreement with the builders, and with funds now avail able.
 The announcement from the de- partment followed an hours confer ence between President Wilson and Secretary Daniels. the president ha:- ing walked over from the white house to the state. war and navy buildings for the purpose.
