MEN OF Is SHIPS INVOLVED

Mob-Mutineers Moved Down

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Evening
Sun today prints an account of the
mutiny in the German navy as given
by a participant, Second Lieut.. Ru-
dolph Glatfelder of the cruiser Madge-
burg, who escaped to Switzerland. He
is q social-democrat.
Lieutenant Glatfelder's account Of
the outbreak was in this country q
week before the cable dispatches told
of Admiral Capelle's announcement to
the reichstag that a grave disturbance
In the navy had been suppressed.
He tells how the mutiny started, re-
lating events that led to the bloody
conflict that lasted from early morn
ing till midnight. Infatuated sailors
and marines from IS ships mobbed an
admiral and his staff of so officers,
set fire to barracks, Zeppelin sheds,
warehouses, Wharves, naval observa-
tory and then plundered the arsenal.
One of the arsenal forts sided with
the rebels, and engaged eleven coastal
forts. -Four ~uncompleted warships,
bridges, buildings and fttingout har-
bors were blown up. Some Of the
mutineers reached their ships, others
were moved down by machine gun
fe. The lieutenant says ugly feeling
is universal in the German navy and
other outbreaks are feared.
mo less than $4,000 sailors and ma
rines were involved in this uprising"
says Lieutenant Glatfelder. II am
making this statement from personal
knowledge. This refers to the last
days of July and early days of August
the final suppression having been
concluded on the sixth or seventh day
of August, of which I have learned
since leaving Wilheemshaven.

The war may continue for long
time and just because the nation is at
war is no reason why you should not
give sober second thought to affairs
in Kenosha. Right now is an excel
lent time to pick out man for can
didate for mayor next year. Take
plenty of time to look him over and
then you will be able to decide intel
ligently whether or not you want to
recommend him to your friends. Those
pur-of-the-moment candidates often
get away with it and they are usually
untitled for office. A man fit to be
mayor of the city should have rec
ord which would stand few months
of investigation even if the record was
put under the magnifying glass.

Patriotism and Good Business.

Our allies in Europe are watching
you. The progress of the second
Liberty Loan is matter of intense
interest to them, and how the people
of the United States subscribe will be
compared with the patriotism dis
played by their own citizens and by
the German nation in taking up the
bonds issued by them.
Advice urging investment in these
bonds has been received by friends
and relatives in this country from
across the water, according to infor-
nation received by Liberty Loan of
fcials, for there is no safer or better
security for your surplus funds than
the United States Of America. You
are not giving anything away in such
an investment; it is not an act Of
charity on your part. The government
has made you fair and square propo-
sition and you can t lose.
Thousands Of the foreign speaking
population of this country are invest
ing, notably the Greeks, who are sub
scribing freely in the central west
Whatever money they have they have
made while living in this country; the
nation now needs financial help and
it is up to those who have prospered
beneath the Star SpangIed Banner
to do their part.
1t is both patriotism and good bust
ness on your part.
