Threaten Death to
American Ship Captains

Berne, Switzerland, March 1.-THE
crews of armed merchantmen who
venture to fire upon n German sub
marine before state of war exists be-
tween Germany and the United States
must expect to meet tho fate of Cap
tain Fryatt, warns the Muenchner
Neueste Nachrichten, n copy of which
has reached Berne, in commenting on
the announcement of tho State De-
partment that American merchantmen
will be armed.
I'VE assume" the newspaper says.
that President Wilson realizes the
fate to which he is subjecting his ar
tillerymen. According to the German
prize laws, 1t is unneutral support of
the enemy If neutral ship takes part
in hostiliites."
The Captain Fryatt referred to in
the foregoing dispatch was Captain
Charles Fryatt, of the Great Eastern
Railway steamship Brussels. He was
tried before a German naval court
martial, July, 1916, and shot to death
because he had attempted to ram the
German submarine U-33.

CAPT. GEORGE f. LUNIB, STATE
POLICE, WRITES:


Replying to your letter of the
18th inst. requesting my views on
military training, permit me to
say that 1 have for a long time
held definite views of my own on
this subject which, if you will
pardon me, prevent me from Civ
ing preference to either of the
schemes as they appear to me at
present.
1T is therefore impossible to
answer your letter quite to the
point, but l will hazard my plan
and leave it to you to dispose of
the suggestion, and the letter, as
you will.
I'm my campaigning in the
Philippine Islands and China l
frequently saw the pathos of
sending young men who had not
been properly seasoned on active
service. One recruit from st.
Louis who joined us in the field
had no more conception of the
value of his canteen of water than
to drink it all at the early stages
of the days march. Later in the
day skirmish drew on our vi
tallty and this youngster became
a raVing maniac, dying that night
in Il Straight-jacket. Several
things contributed to his DEATH
lack of knowledge as to his per-
Sonal endurance, fiabby, undevel-
oped muscles, worry due to an un-
usual environment, and the pitiful
lack of respect for lusty manhood
exhibited by our parents in this
country.
Young Men of U. S. FIabby
This is only one example of
many L could cite; frankly | read
the text book history of the days
of 1898 to 1901 with a sneer that
| would rather not acknowledge.
Take this from me, and | make
no qualifications: the young men
of the United States are the most
f1abby and undeveloped as race
of any nation in the civilized
world. 1t takes courage to say
this, but now is not the time to
writes mush and hypocrisies.
I'VE are a liXury-loving, self
indulgent race that hardly knows
the meaning of the word self-sac-
rifice or self-denial.
Let us have a stiff compul-
sorry educational law, uniform
throughout the States. Let us
have compulsory physical train
ing, under real men as instructors,
for all of both sexes after the
age of ten in the public schools
and then let every boy who
graduates from high school and
every other boy at a given age
serve for one year in the regular
army to repay his country for his
mental and physical education.
1t will be fair to all, and the boys
will respond manfully. You will
divert the honor of the poolroom
that covers up the illegal sale of
cigarets and a thousand other

IERIAN ChUltCH, SAYS:
Touching the question of uni
versal 1nlutary training, and
whether 1t should be Tor SIX
months, or a longer period, per-
init me to say that the questions
involved are too many To say,
without qualifications, that 1 am
am IN favor of one against the
other, or something else against
Doth.
''fhe situation is one which
concerns the present rather than
the 1uture. IL II were about the
Iuture you are asking l would
say tnal neither measure Will tit
the situation. But we are living
IN Il present winch - omlnous.
The issue to-day Is to smash
militarlsm." IL tins world war
succeeds in dealing the death
blow to Prussian militarism we
Will not need any military train
ing for our citizens for a genera
ton. If Germany wins in the
war we will not be allowed to
train our citizens for military ser
vice. Either way, win or lose,
militarism for the next generation
will in all probability be u dead
issue.
Duty to Recruit Navy
"If your question involved the
present | would say that the near
duty is the recruiting of the navy
up to full strength. When the
first merchantmen goes down the
navy will be needd at once for
the work q navy can do. Then
we need enough of an army to
take care of Mexico. We Will
probably be over the border be-
fore long. When we do go over
| am hoping that question Will be
settled once for all by putting up
the American flag in such way
that it will never come down.
We are destined to have con-
troll of every thing from the Lakes
to the Isthmus. | sincerely trust
that there will be nothing like
the 'Platt Amendment which was
passed by Congress concerning
Cuba. Perhaps the wish is father
to the thought, but I cannot feel
much dread about Japan. Eng
land will Sc to it that her ally
does not do much hurt to Amer
lea. Then we may ned an army
to go over and help take Con-
stantinople, or to do battle some
where in France The real issue,
as 1 see it, is the terrible present
crisis"

court.
Although they were undecided
whether the big hotels and restau-

dancing where drinks are served, they
made it clear that no license will be
renewed to saloons in residential dis
stricts where dancing and cabaret
features are used as "stimulants to
thirst"
IF there is not trade enough to
maintain a tavern without the 1icti-
tious attraction, then there is no ne
cessity for it and there should be no
license" said Judge Finletter.

Some of the Good Things About Martins
Liver Medicine That Can't be Said About
Drugs Containing Nauseating Calomel

W. L. Roberts, 500 Duncan Ave-,
Macon, Ga, was recently induced to
try the guaranteed Martins Liver
Medicine-"the medicine that has no
calomel in it, but does the work just
the same" After using one bottle
Mr.. Roberts wrote to the Georgia
Medicine Company as follows: )
'T have used my first bottle OF Martins
Liver Medicine and have given it to my
children. am absolutely overjoyed with
its action. The pleasant taste makes it easy
to give children and it acts so pleasantly,
mildly and bcnehcially on them that they
never associate it with medicine. ! take it
myself without having to suspend household
duties as is the case when use other medi
cines. My household equipment is not now
complete without Martins Liver Medicine"
It is really foolish for anybody to
take calomel-a sickening, nauseating,
poisonous mineral that used to be
prescribed by physicians in days when
the medical fraternity didn't know
any better.
