Oratory may thrill with its elo-
quence, or convince with its logic, but
1t is an example which gradually molds
the character. No matter how per-
suasive the message of the tongue, the
message of the daily life continually
outweighs 1t. 1t is of little use to
point out the blessedness of the heav-
emily road to those about us. unless our
feet are seen travelling 1t.

GERMANS BORROW
 MONEY ON SLOGAN
 AGAINST WILSON


 Berne, Switzerland April 16-(vta Paris.)-The German government today concluded it's advertising campaign for subscriptions to the sixth German war loan, which closed at l o'clock this aft ernoon. The advertisement appeared under flaring headlines in all the principal German papers. the caption reading: The Answer to Wilson,"
 The United States said the adver- tisement, has finally. stepped openly over to the side of England, whose cause they have been supporting since the be- ginning of the war. As an excuse they give unrestricted submarine warfare.
 Tn pusuit of this plan, President Will son does not even hesitate to adopt the old vain effort to create division between the German government and people How little Wilson knows about the German people and German ways
 Never since the empire existed has a governmental decision been so eagerly desired as to the freeing of the U-boats from all letters in the war against Eng land, the accursed propagator and crim- inal beginner of this frightfu war.
 The German loan gives an opportunity to show Wilson what the German people really think. Let everyone subscribe and thus will the right answer be given to Wilson,"

Theatre Audiences
ne New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 It is one of our most hallowed national customs not to go into a theatre until the curtain has risen. If by some stupid blunder we have arrived punctually we smoke a cigaret in the lobby.
 So the cunning playwright takes care not to start his story until at least five minutes later. He occupies these five minutes with a colorless scene of some kind just to keep the groundlngs amused In some cases he will begin each act in the same way. It depends on how fash onable his audience is and how thirsty For converse reason he must finish his play five minutes before the final cur tain falls.
 Another of our national customs is tc leave the theatre the moment Edwin has embraced Angelina, although the author may have reserved quant comedy touch or a dramatic surprise foI the actual end.
 It is no use altering the hour of per formance. Begin at midnight if you like we shall not come until five minutes after Leave off at 10; we shall go out five min utes before It is in the blood The idea that an audience owes any consideration to authors or actors is entirely foreign to us The very suggestion of it is al most an impertinence.

Laughing In German
(Booth Tarkington Sarcasm)

NBOOtH IdTkl1SlOn SafCaSm.) Booth Tarkington in Golfers Weekly Germany struck
 She struck Belgium.
 Belgium deserved the blow. The French intended to come through Belgium to strike Germany. The Belgians would not believe this; but how could they prove that the French did not so intend? Only by what the French stated-and the Ger man government cannot accept mere statements in important matters. Bel gium was unneutral. Belgium had vio- lated her own neutrality. Several times English officers had talked to Belgian of ficers about what England would do to help Belgium if Belgium should ever be invaded by Germany. Germany must never again be endangered by Belgian perfidy such as that revealed by this crime, which was discovered soon after Belgium had been crushed. War is war. People who sympathize with Belgium have dis ordered minds French officers, dis guised as civilians, had entered Belgium in an automobile. The Belgians are treacherous people and will need strong guidance in the future.
 The army of Germany (still without the time to mobilize) attempted to restore order in Belgium, and was attacked by the completely mobilized British army by all of the British army-and, as sym
 
 German army unprepared ana consused staggered forward almost to the gates of Paris before recovering it's boise and presence of mind.
 The English had always kept Germanys navy outnumbered, no matter how fast Germany built ships, thus destroying all hope of freedom of the seas. (This is an offense for which the whole world should unite to punish England The Deity will help, too, in time. Freedom of the seas is the great principle for which the Fath- erland fights today) Owing to this threatening insolence of England, Ger many was forced to place mines and de- clare war zone about England, to which England replied with a blockade, not one whit more legal tkan that estab- lished on the southern American coast by the unionfsts during the American civil war.
 The English blockade was an attempt to starve the babies of Germany, whereas the war zone established by Germany was an effort to make England come to terms, and was forced upon Germany by the blockade with which England had replied to the war zone.

Brutal Crime Committed
 in Tuscaloosa Suburb

Tuscaloosa, April 16-(Special )-Armed citizens. police, sheriff's deputies and un- organized members of the First Alabama direction around Tuscaloosa for an un- known negro that assaulted Miss Zada Barrett a young white woman clerk In a store in the outskirts of town, this aft ernoon, and should he be caught he will most likely be summarily dealt with. The negro choked Miss Barrett into insensi- bpity and made his escape before she could summon assistance.
 The attack was one of the boldest and most daring assaults in the annals of Tuscaloosa county .
 One day last week the negro bought some articles of Miss Barrett and when she presented a gun when he would not pay her. he knocked the gun from her hand and knocked her down, making his escape. As Miss Barrett was returning from dinner today she saw the negro, who recognized her, and ran away. An alarm was given and while the officers were searching for him the negro came into the store and attacked Miss Barrett as stated above, threatening to kill her if she reported him again.
 Miss Barrett's throat was badly swol- len and scratched by the fiend's fingers and she is in a serious condition from fright and bruises.
 Officers in other sections have been notified and a thorough search is being made.
 At II o'clock tonight it seems that the brute has made his escape. although large parties are still searching for him.

1 the epitaph, this and nothing more: "Ar Unknown British Soldier
 On a grave adjoining was cheap gilt vase with flowers, English flowers, faded and dying I looked at the cross One of the Coldstream Guards lay beneath He had been killed in action six months before. I turned up the black-edged en- velope which lay on the vase and read the badly-spelled message.
 From his broken hearted wife and loving little son, Tom"
 Here lay Canadians, Australians Frenchmen and Germans. Many of the
 French had bottles of holy water placed on their graves under the crosses Sew
 eral soldiers of a mountain battery were
 buried in corner near the village wall.
 The barn in which they were billeted
 was hit fair by a high explosive shell
 Thirty-one were killed. Now they rest in the bosom of the kindly earth, under
 crosses fashioned from biscuit boxes On the back of one of the crosses was the wording in black: Biscuits 50 lbs' Most of the epitaphs on the crosses were short
 and concise and ran as thus:
 Private 999 J. Smith, ...... Regiment Killed in Action June 1, 1916." And under it stamped on a broze plate was the information:
 Erected by the Mobile Unit (B R c. S) to preserve the record found on the spot"
 The British soldier feels 1t is his duty to tend his comrades graves, and I can call to mind many instances in which soldiers have been caught by the sniper's bullet as they went out to bury their fallen comrades Once at C. in the spring of 1915 we found a soldier of the Munster Fusiliers under the floor of a trench Killed in a charge the previous winter, he had fallen into the mud of the trench and was trampled down. We uncovered the body and buried it anew behind the parados, placing a rosary which we found on the body over the grave. On the following day one of our men went out to see the grave and when stoop- ing down to place some flowers on 1t he was shot through the head In the evening we buried him beside the Nun ster fusilier.
 But even in burying the dead the British soldier, one of the bravest and most cheerful of created beings, finds scope for that humor which is pecu- liarly his own. All soldiers who have been in the trenches near Cambrai will recollect Cock Robin Pump and the epitaph over the dead robin which was buried beside it. The poor bird was killed by 'coal-box,' Tommy buried it and was moved to poetry in inscrib- ing the epitaph. The verse ran thus: Cock Robins dead beside this pump; A coal-box hit him such thump- And this is all we've got to tell: We'll lick the swine that fired the

having no heart for the receptions and other pleasant features of our visit to Washington, l for one have no patience with it. A brave people should never be downhearted. The true soldier is al- ways gay on occasion. One of my most delightful and glorious memories is the Army of Northern Virginia encamped near Orange Courthouse in the winter of 1863-64. Grant, a great general, was preparing a great army of brave men just across the river, an army that immensely outnumbered us,- and could be indefinitely increased, to attack us when the spring opened, and we could get no reinforce ments. We had our prayer meetings and rose from every prayer better fortified for the coming struggle.
 But we also had our sports, our ball games, our tournaments, our dances, our rides with the girls. The campaign opened with the battle of the Wilderness, that began on May 5, and the dance at night that followed our May day celebra- ton, which had been held just five days before, and which l attended, is today one of my most delightful memories
 "Of course, will enjoy the receptions and the greetings that are awaiting us probably at the White House, and else where in Washington, and why shouldn't we? All America will rejoice with us over the lasting peace within our bor- ders that has followed our own strug- gle, and in the midst of all this rejoicing at Washington we may all of us then and there fitly and fervently pray that world peace as lasting as our own may follow the world war that is now and will proba bly, then be going on."
 Colonel Herbert said President Wilson's message to Congress of April, 'in literary excellent and as a statement of why Con- gross should declare war with Germany, will stand side by side with the Decla- ration of Independence, which was the statement of reasons why the 13 colonies should separate from Great Britain. Flu ture historians may well denominate it as The declaration of the right of all na- tions to govern in their own way"
