from II. n. s. -. which is now lying
somewhere in the harbor. were enjoying
themselves in a refectory for the dis
pensation of liquid refreshments situated

what State did he live in?'
State! What do you mean? Is New
Jersey a State?'

On learning the name-let's say Payne
the manager got the suburban tele-
phone directory and turned TO New Jer-
sey There were lots of Paynes of
course. but with the required initials.
]. e., there was but one.
The manager called up the number.
Yes, he was an Englishman and had
been here twenty-five years, but he didn't
know anything about a brother in the
English navy.
On being Informed of the talk over the
wire the sailor expressed his pleasure
and asked the address. II was a num-
Der high mp on Montgomery street. Jer-
sey City. He wanted 10 go "on the OFF
charnce."

GEORGE ABE TELLS HWY WE
WAR

George AIDE the popular Hoosier
humorist and playwright has turned
his attention to serious matters, tax
ing up his pen-or typewriter as the
case may be-in defense of his coun-
try In a recent contribution to the
discussion of the one absorbing topic
Of the hour he tells why we are at
war with Germany, writing in part as
follows
one fact was that Germany de-
1iberately forced the war because it
seemed that the fortunate Day had
arrived when the continent Of Europe
could be pounded into submission.
The other fact was that Germany
deliberately broke her word of honor
and outlawed herself by the brutal in
vason Of Belgium.
With these two facts looming in
front of them, the American people
Immediately and instinctiyely turned
against Germany. Our sympathies
were given whole e-heartedly to the
Allies because they couldn't go any
where else. The issue we're too plain.
The evidence was too unmistakable.
Great Britain and France did not
lead us. We were lead by an old
fashioned and elemental preference for
decency and fair play
After that we sold food and muni-
tions to the enemies Of Germany.
The Germans have always insisted
upon their right to sell guns and shells
anywhere in the world at any time.
Our soldiers IN the Spanish-Amercan
wal we're killed by German bullets

We had,a right to sell our products
TO Great Britain and France. And
now thank goodness. we can say open
ly what we have felt all the time that
it was our duty TO supply them.
Germany with all of her cleverness
foresightedness and preparedness for
any contingency has persistently blum
dered in her guessing as to other ma.
tions. Germany played every other
country in the world for either a fool
or a coward. France could not long
resist because her army was disorgan-
lied and her people lacked heroic fiber
