Z. III. g. 4. CALLS
FOR VOLUNTEERS

Grenada, Miss, April %, 1918.
Volunteer in the overseas service
of the Red Triangle" That is the
slopco Of service now used by the
Y. NJ. C. A. IL a big recruiting drive
which it is now putting on to man its
army and Navy work. According to
the campaign plans, 5000 men must
be recruited for the overseas service
with the Y. M. C. A. within ninety
days. In addition to that number
several hundred more will be needed
ct home for work in the training
camps and the home naval points.
Besides the steadily increasing de
mandS which are being made by the
continual mobilization of American
soldiers, hundreds of secretaries each
month are requested by the French,
Italian, British and Portuguese mill
tary authorities. Military leaders
feel that men must be provided and
that their enlistment is a necessary
part in fulfilling u obligations in
the war for Democracy.
During the next few weeks every
city and village and country side in
the South as we'll as all other of the
the country will be searched for men
not of military capabilities, but who
are able in some capacity, to serve
their country and its fighters in the
Red Triangle service. Ministers,
business men, lawyers, farmers and
teachers; i intact men from all walks
of life are being urged to volunteer
for this service.
Just how important it is can be
seen by the assertion of one worker
in France who said that Leadership
of a 'Y' hut in France has bigger
possibilities of national service than
most Of the bank and college presi-
denotes and big city pulpits in Ameri'
ca.
The government is watching the
recruiting drive with interest. That
should be one incentive for volun'
teering. President Wilson has said

London, Oct. IA. J. Balfour,
the British foreign secretary, speak
ing at luncheon given to a party of
American editors today, said:
1--WE have to make a right peace
and I do not think right peace is
very easy thing to make. Our
enemies are attempting to change
their constitution but appear to have
no notion that what we call a
change is not so much change in
the formal purpose of the govern
ment as a change OF hearts whereby
that government is to be directed
and animated"
Mr.. Balfour said the Germans
had shown no material improve
ment in their disposition during the
four years of the war.
"Brutes they were when they be-
gan the war. AS far as can Judge
brutes they remain at the present
moment"

Germans Remain Brutes
Asserts Minister Balf0ur

The foreign secretary said that
perhaps he spoke with a warmth
and indignation unbehtting his po-
sition, but with the news of the
Leinster outrage he found it diff
fcult to measure his epithet.
Il would have thought" contin-
ued M Balfour,, that those who
brought in America to their own un-
doing by crimes of this sort would
have shrunk' little from repeating
them at the moment when their fate
is to be decided by America. per-
haps more than by any other of the
co-belligerents."
Mr.. Balfour said he wished he
could think crimes of this kind were
those of a small dominant military
caste, but it was incredible that
they could be repeated through four
years of embittered warfare if they
did not commend themselves to the
population which committed them.

time it was brushed away from the
side OF the Otranto, again would
push near enough for many more
men to jump to the deck of she YES
sci.
Many of those who reached the
decks of the vessel suffered broken
bones or otherwise were hurt. Those
who missed the deck of the destroy
er went to almost instant death.
Four times the battered destroyer
came alongside and each time the
previous scenes were repeated. AT
the end of the fourth trip she had
$40 Americans, 236 of the crew, SO
French sailors and one British off
Ger on board. The bow was full and
having done all possible, she started
for port.
The survivors saw the Otranto
drifting helplessly toward the rocks
as they pulled away toward the
Irish coast. The destroyer barely
had time to send brief message
when her wireless was carried away.
The little overloaded vessel had a
rough trip to port.
Soldiers Meet Death Calmly.
One of the American troops on
board the Otranto pictured the
scene when the vessels collided.
Soldiers lined the decks as though
on parade and at the word OF COM
mand stood at attention like statues.
They never wavered, remaining
there in military formation, exem-
plifying during the crisis the mob
lest traditions of the army for hero
ism and discipline. The same thing,
said the soldier, applied to the sea-
men.
Numbers of bodies today were
washed up rapidly on the shore.
1t was reported that us had been
counted at noon and nearly all of
them had been identified.
A seaman on the Otranto de-
scribed the most tragic moment of
the disaster as when the order came
for the men to jump and save them
selves. The destroyer looked very
small boat alongside the former
Orient liner and many landsmen
among the American troops thought
themselves safer aboard the larger
vessel. This was fatal to many of
them.
The victims are to be collected
at the most suitable place and
buried there. A boat left Liverpool
today with material for collins, 50
laborers and carpenters and chap
lains to conduct the funerals. The
grave of every man will be marked
and charted.
There were a few cases among
the dead where Identification was
delayed. Every man had worn an
Identification tag on his wrist or
neck, but in some instances these
were torn off and it was necessary
TO take niger prints or the men.
An instance of the many rescues
by the Mounsey was that of T. L.
Campbell, a Memphis lawyer and a
secretary of the Y. M. c. A. He
weighs 220 pounds. He was perch
ed on the Otranto's rail awaiting a
chance to spring upon the destroyer
the third time the Mounsey came up.
As he leaped the Mounsey lurched
away and instead of landing in the
middle of the deck as he had hoped
to do, one of his legs caught in the
cable /on the side of the destroyer.
Campbell pulled himself aboard un-
injured.
"Just when the destroyer was
pulling away the last time" said
