Fiendish Act Of j

Sothern. the noted actor, stepped from
a British liner here today. clad in a
Y. NJ G. A. secretary's uniform ana
was met by his wife, Julia Marlowe.
He said he had returned to help the
liberty loan drive. His time abroad
had been spent mostly in England, he
said, arranging entertainments for
American boys quartered in that
country.
Il had the pleasure of appearing
with Mary Anderson" said Mr.. Soth-
ern she is as charming and in

Miss Anderson raised over $4,000

no weight of years, and her acting ID

Let me tell an example OF the
Huns devilishness at chateau Fere-

of the fifteenth century had been the
headquarters of German general

sary purpose of putting out of action
more than one of the charging enemy
with each shot of the gun; and in this
respect. IL IN exactly analogous to
shrapnel shell discharging a multi
tude of small bullets or machine
gun discharging spray Of pointed
bullets. If machine gun be properly
swung from side to side during a
charge. its successive bullets will kill
more than one man without hitting
any one man more than once: but in
practice it is found that the swaying
OF the machine. gun is not perfectly
done and in consequence more than
one bullet is frequently wasted on
one man with greater injury to that
one man than necessary and with less
mpliShment of the necessary pur-
pose of putting a number of men out
of action. Moreover, if "A machine
gun is held steady with wrong aim,
its stream of bullets may pass be-
tween the charging of troops without
effect The shotgun bullets are
sprayed by the force of the explosion
of the per sheHs within the barrel.
This weapon therefore. does not need
to be swaNed in firing and will take
even though held with slightly in
correct AIM while, if aimed we'll at
appropriate range, ii will hit more
than one man within space nine
feet wide in the opposing ranks.
The dimeter OF the bullet is scarce
! ly greater than that Of a rifle or ma
! chine gun The weight of il is very
much less And in both size and
weight it is less than the bullet of a
shrapnel shell.
Less Injury from Gunshot.
1t Is apparent, therefore. that the
injury or suffering caused TO any one
individual by the American military
shotgun. at any range exceeding so
yards. is usually less than that
caused by the ordinary rife: al any
range exceeding 100 Yards, is usually
less than that caused by machine

/ than that caused by q bayonet II
is less than that caused by a shrap-
mel shell bursting at effective distance
from its target. Certainly Ii should
never be compared with the fam

which the Germans hahitually use
The only instances even where q
+ shotgun projeetile causes more in
Jury TO any one enemy soldier than
would a hut by a rifle bullet are in
stances where the enemy soldier has
approached 50 close to the shoot OR
that he is struck by moro than one
OF the nine bullets contained in the
cartridge. This. like the effect OF
he dispensing of bullets from a shrap-
mel shell is permissible either in be
half of greater effectiveness or as an
unavoidable incident Of the use OF
small scattering projectiles for the

IT such a time and from such a source
should go absolutely UNDECIDED. The
chief difficulty in swaying votes in
the senate at this time is due TO the
active and ardent campaign that has
been made on behalf of the suffrage
amendment--that has been made on
behalf Of the suffrage amendment
and which has resulted in the pledg-
ing of votes of senators either for or
against the measure. The men who
have declared their intention of vot-
ing against the measure naturally are
reluctant to change front at the elev-

The Denison boys who are attached
to the Supply Train at Camp Dodge,
have written relatives that they ex.
pect to leave the camp either today
or tomorrow. For several weeks,
there have been rumors at the canton.
ment camp that the Supply Train
would receive orders to move in the
near future but it was not until Mon.
day of this week that any definite
news was given out. While the boys
state they will leave Wednesday or
Thursday they are unable to learn to
what point they will be moved. Some
believe they will be sent to an eastern
port and from there to France, while
others are of the opinion that the sup.
ply train will be sent to some other
camp for further training.
Hugo Saggau, Martin Saggau. Glenn
Boslough and Ed Kusel are the four
Denison boys who are attached to the

and those who believe in Democracy
and the freedom of people"
! Mr.. Shaw stated that the German
born American had not been treated
fairly. When the war first broke out,
he was told that he must be neutral
in conduct and sympathy, and later
told to be neutral in conduct 1T Is
natural that you Germans first sympa'
thized with the Fatherland. Many of
you fled from the civilization of Ger.
many, coming to the United States
where you would be free from the
Prussan influence. The time was when
Germany was a country to be proud
Of, but the Germany of today has been
Prussianized =, Prussia and the war
lords have been teaching the kind Of
civilization that we find in Germany
today, for the past forty years. 1t Is
taught in the schools, colleges and
churches of the Fatherland."
The speaker appealed to his audi
ence to use reason as to whether the
German plan was right or wrong. He
quoted extracts from noted German
writer's aud from speeches of famous
German statesmen to prove that the
Germans honestly believe that they
are the supermen and superior to all
others. Mr.. Shaw paid his respects
to Senator LaFollette, comparing him
with the alien enemy.
MIR. Shaw expressed himself as most
pleased with the record made by Iowa
in the last Liberty Loan, stating that
iowa had outclassed every state in the
union and that Crawford county had
outclassed every county in the state.
Germany is willing to grant peace
today, but not to accept peace. Any
peace made now must be based upon
conditions as they exist now and such
peace would be based on an almost
complete German victory. With Rus
STA, Serbia, Rumania, Belgium, north
ern Italy and northern France con-
quered, Germany believes she has this
war won; and that all that remains is
to convince England and France OF
the uselessness Of continuing the con-
flict. Germany has today on the west
ern front, 100000 men and the allies
probably as many. Germany's trans
portati0n service is such that she can
land 20 train loads OF men at given
point :llong that line during any night.
Germany Is prepared to lose million
men in order to break through our
lines-if they gain the objective, they
will consider it cheap at that price.
The war may not be won by the kaiser
even though he does get his army to
the channel, but do not think it i'm.
possible for him to gain that objec-
tive. The people OF Great Britain are
being educated today to expect any
thing"
Mr.. Shaw impressed upon his audi
ence the fact that there is no reason
to believe this will be short war.
He stated that some OF the little boys
in the crowd might be the o.es to
march into Berlin. He said, "The
allies will not win this war until the
United States has put at least five
million men into the conflict. Already
