over the ocean the officer should be
the one who first spies the submarine,
then perhaps you have saved the lives
of two or three thousand soldiers,
aboard a transport.
Surely the officer, having your
name and address on his glass. would
write you, and tell you of his success.
Or If your particular glass should not
be so fortunately used, it will at least
be aboard a ship, where, as Is to be
presumed, you will hear from the man
who is using your property, and using
it to- safeguard the lives of Americans,
perhaps the life of your own boy.
On account of the careful provisions
regarding name tags and number, your
glass should come back to you, unless,
indeed. the ship is sunk. And when
you have your glass back, you may
meet the man who used 1t, or hear
from him, and you will know whence
and where the glass travelled, and
what it saw, and 1t will have become
a glass of wonderful historical inter
est. You will be able to say:
Here is a part of the .navy's eyes
during the great war; it kept the sub
marines away from ship so and So"
And you will be proud, justly proud,
of a possession valued far above it's
money price.

Milwaukee's Mayor
Here; Mum on War

Daniel Hoan, Socialist Mayor of Mil
waukee, delivered the chief address
last night to meeting OF Socialists
of the eth Assembly" District held in
Cooper Union under the supervision Of
a squad of police, who stood in the
rear of the hall, and number of mem
bers Of the American Defence Society,
who were scattered through the audi
ence, listening for any questionable ut
terances.
Mayor Hoan, however, did not even
touch on the war or its issues in his
remarks. He dwelt chiefly on what
Socialism had accomplished for Mil
waukee.
1t was Alderman Elmer Rosenberg,
chairman of the meeting, who unbur-
dened himself of the most violent re-
marks, and even these did not touch
upon national or international prob
lens, but were aimed at Samuel Com
pers and the American Federation Of
Labor.
Violent kissing greeted reference
by the speaker to the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The alderman urged
those of his audience who were mem
bers of the federation to work for the
removal of Mr.. Gompers at the next
meeting of the body.
Applause as violent as the Kissing
had been broke out when the speaker
concluded by remarking: eve send

Dye Industry in

Great Plant Near Leeds Has

LONDON, April 22-The British
Dyes Company. promoted by the Board
of Trade. with the assistance of the
Treasury, to take the position held be-
fore the war by the Germans, has been
at work for more than two years and is
able to report good progress. The
works at Hudders.ield, near Leeds,
have reached the proportions Of a
email town and are still expanding
The directors have gone to the heart
Of the German success.
II was not by making dyes, but by
making Intermediates" that the Ger
mans forced the whole world to de-
pend on them in this great industry.
Now Intermediates" are being made at
huddersfeld, and the most elaborate
and expensive plant used in the whole
undertaking is employed in this essen
tial branch, which absorbs eight-tenths
of the capital outlay.
Compounds have been devised and
dyes produced even beyond the in
genuity of the Germans, for the British
Dyes Company did not have to start
at the beginning, but where Germany
left off in August, 1914.
The company has been able to manu-
factuse nitric acid, tuning sulphuric
acid and intermediates such as ben.
iodine, betanaphol and synthetic phenol,
as we'll as fine dyes, and is evidently
IN control Of complete organization.
From a financial point of view, it's
success is demonstrated by the fact
that it has been able to pay the maxi
mum dividends allowed upon each
share OF capital during the last two
years.

Raids ON Cafes
Sobs and E.xpoatulations OF
Irate Mothers Fill Cor
ridors Of Office

The corridors of District Attorney
Swann's offices were filled yesterday
with girls caught in the third early
Sunday morning raid Of all-night re-
sorts in Manhattan. Many of them
were confronted by their mothers, who
appeared to have been ignorant of the
lives their daughters were leading.
The sobs and eXpostul atoms of irate
mothers lent a pathetic touch to the
scene. One woman lost her temper and
boxed the ears Of her scventeen-year-
old girl just outside District Attorney
Swann's private Office. Several mothers
said their daughters represented to
them they were attending dances when
they stayed out until after midnight.
The girls were dismissed after they
had been catcchsed by Mr. Swami.
"My policy of making New York safe
and healthful for soldiers and sailors
has the Endorsement of the Federal au-
thorties," reiterated District Attorney
Swami. "Thc Philadelphia tiasco is not
going to be repeated here. We have
corrallcd many shirkers and loafers,
against whom the new anti-loating act,
when it is signed by Governor Whit
man, will prove a splendid medium Of
prosecution. BY means of it we can
pretty nearly make New York a spot
less town."
Mr.. Swami said nine of the men
caught in the raids were held as wit
nesses, but released on parole. He
said four-ffths of the men found in
the Gaiety billiard parlors, in Broad
way, were enemy aliens. They we're
compelled to show their barred zone
cards. 1t was also learned that evil
dencc of value in the case of Harry
Cohen, the murdered gambler, was OBJ
tanned by Mr. Smith The raids will be
continued, Mr.. Smith said.

Vestrymen Favor War
Stars and Stripes Will Be Dis
played ON Bishops
Advice

The Rev. Leigh R. Urban, of the
Episcopal Church of the Redeemer,
Long Island City, who recently declined
to permit an American flag to hang in
the church, rendered his resignation to
the vestry last night and it was ac-
cepted. 1t was not definitely stated
when the resignation would become
effective. but vestrymen said Mr.. Urban
would leave soon.
his resignation came near the end
of long session of the vestry in the
course of which rector and vestry fol-
lowed the advice of Bishop Burgess in
committing to paper the views of the
flag issue which they held in common.
This statement was the result:
"The Bishop having requested that
the rector and vestry agree to put up
an American flag in the church as a
symbol of the conservation of the ma
ton to Christ and the loyalty Of the
rector and the members Of the congre-
cation to the country, but not commit
ting the church to the war, the rector
and vestry gladly adopt this sugges-
ton, although the rector is opposed to
all war; while the wardens and vestry-
men are III favor of the present war;"
Vestrymen said after the meeting
that they regretted the difference with
the rector. but recognized that it was
irreconcilable and admired him for ad-
herring to his principles.

"Should the present German drive
be successful in its effort to cripple

within six weeks German airplanes

Prisoners Distributed King
dom News Containing
Attack on Clergy
Denies Discussing War
Circular, Dated New York,
Says Wilson Is Greatest of
Earth's Rulers

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22.-Ten men
and ten women were arrested to-day on
complaint Of Colonel Russell B. Harri-
son, chairman of the County Council of
Defence, charged with distributing
copies of "The Kingdom News" one
page circular containing an article
headed, "The Finished Mystery. and
Why 1t Was Suppressed" The circu-
lar is dated New York, April Is.
At one corner of the circular is a
petition, addressed to President Will
son, with blank lines for signatures. 1t
declares that any interference by the
clergy with independent Bible study is
into,erant, un-American and un-Chris-
tian, and that any attempt to combine
church and state is radically wrong. 1t
protests against the suppression Of
"The Finished Mystery" and asks the
government to remove all restrictions
as to its use.
Charge Against Clergymen
"The Kingdom News" contains brief
historical review of the International
Bible Students Association and charges
that most of the opposition to the as
"The Finished Mystery" is only one,
comes from clergymen, both in the
United States and Canada.
Neither The Watch Tower an
other one Of the International Bible
Students Associations Publications, "
says the circular. NOR any Of their
other publications has edltorially dis
cussed the war with reference to
whether it is right or wrong. All ref
erence to the war has been in the na-
ture of an explanation of prophecy.
These publications have pointed out
for the past twenty years that a great
international war would be upon the
world which would begin in 1914
Not Opposed to War
"The society has never published
anything with view to hindering the
progress of the war at. all, for the
r,ason that they recognize it as of
Divine permission and could not op-
pose its progress without opposing the
very foundation of their belief"
AS further proof of what it refers
to as Divine permission" for the war,
the "Kingdom News" refers to the
Book of Haggai, Chapter and verse
Z, as proof that it would be ispossble
fer the United States to keep out of
that war. This evidence which, the
"Kingdom News" calls incontrovert-
ible, it alleges, reused the cergymen
of the country to take active measures
In fuliface type the "Kingdom
News" declares the International
Bible Association is mot against the
government in any sense. They recog-
nize the United States Government as
the best government on earth and
President Wilson as the greatest Of
earth's rulers.
