AS to there having been activities

been any movement here to collect
funds for rebellion. undoubtedly
would have heard OF It, and most GER

Of funds that ! know Of was for the

This, he said, was done in order to
fool the German people at home. He
told of how a beautiful and attractive
Belgian young lady had been improp-
erly approached by German officer
and that for her refusal and proper
castigation of him she had coen court
martialed and sent to Germany for
6 months Imprisonment. He told of
how orders were sent out for all the
men to assemble at the rail road sta
tions on certain day and how the
most able bodied had absolutely been
seized and deported to Germany to
work. He told of the pleas of the
Belgian women for their brothers and
fathers and husbands in this distress
ing situation and how the Americans
had been appealed to to prevent the
deportation, one of the saddest and
most pathetic sights, he said. he ex-
pected to witness. He said that when
these deported Belgians reached Ger
many. they were asked to sign a con-
tract to work and that when they. or
any, refused they were put in prison
where there was no fire. notwith-
standing it was the dead of winter.

When they refused to sign the con-
tract, food was taken away from

ton. He said the Germans wanted
the contracts so that they might say

mothers of the country We're sitting
up and taking notice. Whether one
agrees with Billy Sunday or not,
what he says he says Interestingly.
Here he is on the modern dance:
I'm with Ii Hung Chang, the great
Chinaman, who said, after looking at
an American dance, Why don't they
sit down to hugo
Il want to see the bucks hair who
can wrap his arms around my wife .
I'm going to monopolize all that hug
ging business myself, take it from
me!
Take 1t from me again, I'd con-
slder 1t a nuisance to gallop three
quarters of mile to get hugging.
IF l had the power to make law
for America, I'd have a law that no
boy or girl over twelve years of age
should dance until he or she was mar
ried-and then they should dance
with each other.
Some people may say: Mr.. Sun
day, you are too severe we like dane
ing for exercise, and the innocent
pleasure it gives. All right Then
you men dance with each other and
you women dance with each other.
You'll get all the exercise and all the
innocent amusement of the dance
that way. But if that system was put
into effect, ! bet the old dance would
shut up shop between New York ana
San Francisco before the end of the
week.
1T will take your daughter when
she is rose-geranium of purity and
make her into poppy-fower of lust.

How do you like it when you see
your wife in the embrace of man
who was once her lover?
Most men don't care rap for
the dance, it's the hug they are after.
That'll give your old rheumatic and
gout masters a chance. A fellow
has got to get powerfully old and
decrepid when he doesn't enjoy
hug. I'll tell you that.
Il want to tell you | don't believe
that there are many people who can
go on the ballroom floor and dance
with a pretty girl hugged to his
breast and look upon her charms un-
der the influence of fascinating mu-
sic and then go out with prayer meet

AMERICA MUST WAKE UP OR GERMANY WILL BE AT
OUR GATES.

Mr.. w. A. Percy, who only recent
ly returned from Belgium, where he
served as a member of the Belgium
Relief Commission, supported and di-
rected by American money and gen.
erosity. spoke to large audience at
the court house in Grenada Monday
evening. He was presented by that
splendid young gentleman and able
young lawyer, Mr.. A. M. Carothers,
in few well chosen words.
Mr.. Percy is a son of Ex-senator
Leroy Percy, of Greenville, and is
quite young man in appearance
though his speech and his compre-
hensiOn of the great needs of thou
sands upon thousands of human be-
ings in Europe affected by the war
now in progress show him to be old
in thought and wise in deliberation
and judgment. He told of his entry
into Belgium and how his first i'm
pressions were in large measure dis
sipated. He said when he first ar
rived there he expected to see a
country torn and bleeding in all its
parts; that he expected to see all
towns wrecked and the population al
most all on the dodge. But. he said
he saw that the citizenship of Bel
gium was at work and that outwardly
they were making the best of an in
tolerable situation. He said that
there was more of Antwerp unwar-
swept than he expected to see, so also
was there more of Brussels. He said
that the whole of Belgium was fenced
in with an iron or steel wire fence
some ten feet high, which was heavily
charged with electricity thereby max
ing it certain death for any Belgian
who undertook to escape to other
climes or countries. He said that the
German soldiers were everywhere on
guard, that the mayors, police and all
other officials had been replaced with
German officials, and that heavy
tributes were being collected. He
said that but for American relief
thousands would undoubtedly have
starved. He told how, when the
Americans were undertaking to feed
or furnish soup for the unfortunates.
the Germans would frequently take
charge Of the affair themselves and
while so doing have pictures made
which they would send back to Ger

CATASTROPHE
ON STEAMER
At milwaukee.
Brings Sorrow to Crenada-Miss Eva
Eatman Among the Killsd-Boat
Strikes Column Supporting Inn
mense Tank, Which Fails on the
Deck-Several From Grenada On
the Boat.

MILWAUKEE,, WIS.,, June 3d.
Thirteen persons met death and at
least ten others were injured, some
seriously, late today, the result Of a
fifty-ton water tank, erected on the
Milwaukee river front, toppling down
on the whaleback steamer, Christie
pher Columbus, as she swung around
preparatory to making her return
trip to Chicago with about 400 pas
sengers.
The steamer was in tow of two
tugs, one fore and the other aft,
when, for some reason, as yet unex-
planned, the huge vessel rammed the
East Water street dock abutting the
warehouse of the Yahr & Lange Drug
Company, with such momentum as to
cause the steel supports which held
the fifty-ton water tank to give way:
As a result the lofty reservoir crashed
down. 1t hit the vessel near the
bridge and ripped through two decks,
causing a panic and carrying death
or injury to all who were unfortunate
enough to be in its path.
Little Chance to Escape.
Miss Gertrude Skies, a survivor of
party of girls from Aberdeen, Miss,
said she believd four or five OF her
party lost their lives.
Captain Moody, who was on the
bridge at the time, gave it as his
opinion that the tugs seemed unable
to hold the boat and that had there
been a leeway of but six inches the
accident would not have happened.
The accident occurred so suddenly
that there was little opportunity to
escape. Captain Moody was pinlon,
ed for a few moments, but succeeded
in extricating himself. He wa
quoted as saying that the whaleback
would be out, of commission the rest
of the summer. y
Little could be gained from the pas
sengers. a number of whom were
students of the University Of Chicago
returning from an outing, as they
seemed stunned by the tragedy. SIT

scene they presented pitifui, signt'
As soon as arrangements could be
made, all of the vessels passengers
who desired to travel were taken TO
Chicago on a special train.

First Accident Since Eastland,

Officials of the Goodrich Transit
Company, owners of the Christopher
Columbus, arrived here tonight to in
vestigate the accident. The capacity
of the whaleback was 1000 passen-
gers.
Is was said by an officer of the
Goodrich company that the accident
was the first fatality on Goodrich
steamers in thirty-six years and the
first serious accident to the whaleback
in twenty-four years of service. 1t
also was recalled that the deaths on
the Columbus were the first in lake
steamer accident since the overturn-
ing of the Eastland in 1915, when
more than 800 persons were drowned
in the Chicago riter.
Seemed to Founder.
Miss Elizabeth Bacon said:
Just as the boat appeared to be
making the turn, it seemed to f1oun-
der. An instant later it struck the
dock, causing its prov to ram the
supports of the water tank, which
brought the tank down on the deck.
"The instant the boat hit, passen-

"While this was transpiring cries
of distress arose. Firemen and 9TH
ers jumped into nearby boats and
Started the work of rescue"
81 was standing at the prov of the
boat, and heard the captain call out
several times to the tugs: Stand by

passenger on the boat

means and pleadings for help. Wom-

rushed to the rescue, and soon the
people from the shore were aboard,
beginning the work of caring for the
injured and dying"
Among those aboard the Christie
pher Columbus were some passengers
from. Grenada: Misses Eva Eatman,
Augusta Baker, Hilda Green and little
Gerald Eatman. Miss Eva Eatman
was killed and besides her there were
IL other passengers to lose their
lives and many others injured.
Briefly stated the tragedy took place
in this wise: AS the steamer was
turning out of the river to enter the
lake, it had to swing almost at right
angles from the river; alongside the
river were factory buildings. The
so, 900 gallon steel tank was support
ed by immense steel columns, and two
of these columns touched the river
bank. The boat struck one of the
columns which caused the tank to
topple over and fall almost midway
on the boat, thereby practically de-
molishing the upper deck. Misses
