Believed a Captive
Especial correspcndencel


WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Word has
reached here that the Standard Oil
tanker Campana was sunk on August
6 by a German submarine. 1t is be-
lieved by the Navy Department that
not only the captain of the ship but
four members of the armed guard were
made prisoners. This is the first time
that any American sailors acting as
guards have been made prisoners by
the Germans. The attack occurred off
the west coast Of France.
The Germans have been making the
captains of all vessels prisoners re-
Gently, their idea being, so far as it
was understood here, to aid their cam
paign for wiping out ocean-going ton
mage by depriving the Allies of eff
cient navigators, especially as it is
known that there is a serious shortage
Of officers capable of operating ships.
The Navy Department issued the fol-
lowing statement, with the urgent re-
quest that no other details be printed,
no matter from what source obtained:
"The Standard Oil tanker Carpana,
an American steamer. was sunk ky a
submarine on the morning of August
6, 143 miles west of lie de Re. Forty
seven survivors reached land in safety.
1t is believed that the captain of the
steamer and four of the armed guard
are prisoners on board the German
submarine"

Conflict of Business
And the Public Purpose

On all hands in the circles of highest
influence it has been assumed that
this is enough. Nobody in those cir
cles seems to have given a moments
thought TO the idea that it is possible
to make the business system complete
ly and ANONYMOUSLY social-that it is
possible so to change the spirit and
constitution of business that 1t shall
move of its own motion in harmony
with the public purpose. That idea
has not even been broached IN the
cabinets and great councils.
1t has been taken for granted by
publicists, and assented to with ex-
traordinaIy meeness by most business
men, that the traditionary principles
of business are valid only for quiet
times, and that the normal vitality OF
the business world must consent to
suffer a certain degree of temporary
asphyxiation in order TO effect toll
cradle correspondence between the
working organization OF society and
the fighting organization.
The point TO be made here is that a
repressed force is still force. and
that the strength of the European Al
lies is gravely impaired because OF
the social energy expended IN keeping
the habitual instincts OF business
under arrest, and that this strength
fails to reach anything like its natu-
raj maximum because the working or
ganization acts grudgingly and under
duress submitting TO law that is
external and uncongenial.
Everywhere among the European
Allies thes business system husbands

Peace Not in Sight,
View of Judge Gary
War Might Have Ended Two
Years Ago, He Says;
"Allies Will Win"

TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 12.-Judge E.
II. Gary, head of the United States
Steel Corporation, sees no "signs Of an
early peace In speaking Of the war
situation, Judge Gary said here to-day:
az cont believe there are any signs
of an early peace from the information
! am able TO get.
1.-TWO years ago there could have been
a settlement on a pretty fair basis
one which would have secured the in
tegrity of all the countries and with
practically the same geographical lines
which existed when the war COM
menced, and. what is more important,
the establishment Of a basis for the
prevention of future wars. | have
some information which leads me to
that conclusion.
ain any event, it is only a question
of time when the Allies must be sue
cessful."
Judge Gerry is here on vacation
trip and will go later TO Alaska.

Why Should American
Genius Wait for Peacep

1t may be English, French or Rus
sian to turn Socialist in a supreme
emergency. But it is not American,
it is perhaps true that there is no coun-
try in Europe whose politics does not
by old habit cover at least six-tenths
of the social life. In such countries it
might have been expected that the
social unity necessary for a great trial
would be sought through the sublima-
tion of politics-that is, through So
cialism.
But the case has been entirely diff
ferent in the United States. Politics
with US has never covered more than
one-tenth of the area of the common
life. Our social centre of gravity has
never rested in the realm of official
dom, but quite outside that realm.
Business has absorbed by far the major
part OF the energy and intelligence Of
the country.
Going in this manner to the great
arbitrament-nine-te business and
one-tenth politics-and being obliged
to pull ourselves together and to be-
come all of one piece-the question
was and is: Shall we make business
social or shall we make politics in
dustrial?
The incommodity Of the latter course
lies in its demand for kind of miracle
(as if Jonah had swallowed the whale)
and in the fact that most of the indus
trial science and experience of the
country is lodged as inextricably in
the business organism as living brain
in human body.
Here is the case: It is necessary that
our working organization be purged of
private greed and made TO work en-
tirely for the public; the government
has the sound public purpose. but is
short of knowledge and experience; the
business system, on the other hand, has
the science. but is confessedly weak on
the side of social devotion.
submit that spiritual conversion is
in it's nature a swifter process than
technical education, and that we can
make a shorter cut to unbeatable tool
power and arms power by putting a
new spirit into the business system
than by trying TO put wellnigh super
human science into these Washington
bureaus.
There is n group of business men
here engaged in the public service
mostly without compensation-wh
agree with the foregoing propositions.
They will make the best of wrong de-
cisions il right ones cannot be reached.
They would wish to suppress the criti-
cism here made-if it seemed to them
to be anything less than vital to the
hope Of victory.

siderable nourishment was taken by

in the soul Of America q prophetic In
stinct that reaches forward to the new
age. The American spirit has repul-
sion for socialism that is precisely
equal to its repulsion for plutocracy.
1t feels deeply-but as yet without
clear intellectual or practical guidance
that the principle of daredevil enter
prise and personal initiative that bot
toms the business order is in the world
to stay, that it is a principle not Of
weakness but Of strength, that it can
be turned to public uses and made to
spread CONSERVATION in the tanned
ranks of autocracy.
Thus it is not at all in accordance
with the American genius that in the
hour of our great need for strength
this free creative power-incalculabl
and hitherto unconquered-sho be
put under bureaucratic bonds and made
to sit and wait for peace.

CONTROLE AMERICAIN, AMERI-
CAN EXPEDITIONARY ARMY, Aug.
l2.-An American captain, who re-
turned from the French front to-day,
took a German prisoner.
The officer was at the front only for
observation, but when he heard that a
small raid was planned, he begged t.
be included in the party. His French
guide objected, saying. "My orders are
not to get you killed"
az hope you carry out your orders"
replied the American, "but have been
instructed to see just as much as l
can"
He won his point and made the trip
over No Mans Land TO a close lying
trench.
The German was subdued when
prodded in the abdomen with an auto
matte, but the captain was anxious U
reserve his souvenir intact. The Ger
man was a sergeant. His captors found
il impossible 10 move him to enthu-
siasm by the information that he had
the honor TO be the first German capt
ured by an American. He weighed 22O
pounds, and was the largest German
taken on that particular front in more
than q month.
The attention Of the Americans fror
now on will be largely devoted to rite
practice. There seems 10 be some diff
fculty in obtaining ranges. There are
now several 200-yard ranges, but none
has yet been constructed for longer
work. A location, however, has been
found for two i,b00-yard ranges, where
tniping can be taught.
The construction Of ranges is difh-
cult, on account Of the labor Of digging
pits through the rock soil. In one
place half the work was done By the
french and left for the Americans -
complete. The Sammics found their
side much harder, and, indeed, the
work Of getting the pick through
seemed 80 arduous that the officer or
dered his men 10 quit the job. A gen
eral arrived quickly, eountermsnding
this order.
"In not going 20 have any OF my
men say cant while the French can
hear them" he said. And the work
was carried 10 completion.

WASHINGTON, August IL.


w VIASHINGTON is now facing the
w ultimate problem-the deep
est issue OF the war. 1t Is
not TO be wondered at that the solution
comes hard The European Allies
faced this problem before we did-and
missed the answer. II they had not
missed they would have defeated the
Central Powers without the need OF
military help from the United States.
The weakness of Britain, France,
Italv and Russia in relation to the
Teutonic group is due to their inferior
success in ccrrelating the forces OF
business with the forces of politics. In
Britain. France, Italy and Russia the
outbreak of the war found the constl-
tuition of business working at cross
purposes with the political constltu-
ton. And, in spite of the mighty et-
forts that have been made in all these
countries TO resolve this internal con-
tradiction, it still remains. 1t saps
their strength. That is why they are
compelled to stretch out to US their
supplicating hands.
All these countries are torn at the
heart by @ conflict between the public
purpose-now expressing itself in
terms of socialism-and the business
interests of the investing class. Moth
ing important has yet been done in
any of them to change the inner mo-
tive and spirit of business or to alter
the operation of its organic plan. In
each and all Of them socialistic poll
tics has gripped business by the throat
and has forced it to adopt temporary
behavior that is uncharacteristic Of the
commercial tradition. Business has
been compelled to act socially-not al
together, indeed, but in considerable
measure.

 Question No. 1: Did the sin and death brought in by Adam extend back to the pre-Adam- ties? No. and could not because they did not belong to the Ad- annie age or race. As 1 have already stated. with Adam began a new age and a new race, as with Abraham and Noah, etc. If the ore -Adamites" died it was the result oi their own sin. As Ezek, 18-4. says, the soul that sinneth it shall die. Adam brought death into the world or age that began with himself, and 1 will say again, had God left the human family (of which Adam was the head) without a re- deemer, then death would have ended all and man (the one who dies) would have been no more. and l am not afraid of this state ment being refuted either, even by those who teach the immor- taiity of the soul.

About Greenbacks.

Not a great many people have taken the trouble to find out why Uncle Sam's banknotes are printed with green backs. The great drawback to paper currency is the likelihood of counterfeiting. and this danger has been the chief reason for the constant study of experts, who seek plan whereby bills cannot be copied Stacy J. Edson was the man who, in 1857, invented the green ink which Uncle Same uses, and this he patented. It is antiphotographic--t that is, it cannot be photographed, nor can it be moved with alkalis by counterfeiters working to get facsimile of the notes. The secret of the inks ingredients, of course, Is carefully kept.
