order but in hot fighting.

CLIPPER SHIPS IN LONG RACE
Contest Between Vessels Carrying Tea
From China to England One Of
the Best on Record.

The China clipper races, contested
by vessels carrying tea to England,
covered the longest course Of any
race In history. One Of the most IA
nous was that Of 1866. II was ar
ranged that nine Of these ships should
sail from Foochow with the new sea
sons teas as nearly as possible on the
same day, hut only five finished load
ing in time.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
start, being towed out to sea early on
May 30. The Ariel followed next
morning at 10: 80, the Serlca and the
Taeping sailing 20 minutes later, while
The Taitsing did not put TO sea until
midnight on the 31st. They were, Of
course. all chosen ships with n repu-
tatlon for speed.
The Fiery Cross was the first to
round the Cape Of Good Hope, 40 days
out, with the Ariel on her heels, while
the Taeping Serlca and Taitsing
were respectively one, four and eight
days behind. The Ariel led from the
Azores to the entrance to the English
channel, where the Serica and Tae-
ping pulled up ahead of the others,
and there followed dlng-dong race,
mp the channel, with fine spread Of
canvas and strong southerIy wind.
The Ariel and the Taeping were
the leaders, first one and then the
other drawing ahead, the others sweep

worthy finish for such crack ships.

FLUSHED WITH VICTORY

Allied victories Of the past few
weeks are indeed cause for much
joy among the peoples of the allied
countries, but in this Joy and self
confident feeling there turks thej
danger of a prolonged war-of heavy
casualties which might be inflicted
upon our boys at the front should
the people slacken in their vigilance.
We read of the Germans surren-
dering freely; of how the kaiser's
soldiers run like rabbits" from the
advancing Americans-but these are
instances" We also read of how
long lines of "our boys" are found
after a fierce battle, with their
face toward the enemy" No high
er earthly glory awaits any man
but our casualty list arrives with
regularity each day, and will con-
tinue to arrive. But the kaiser's
last stroke of diplomacy in Offering
honorable peace" was a master one
and he is now in position to further
convince his soldiers that the allies
are determined to tear Germany to
pieces and annihilate the Prusslan
race. And in the light of the present
turn Of affairs the dulled brain OF
the common German soldier will be
unable to pierce the kaiser's decep-
tion and they may rally to his sup.
port the more loyal and fight sav.
agely and with even more brutality
until they reach the border of theil
own country-and then fight with
the desperation of a cornered tiger
Many of the millions who have
recently registered do not thinl
they will ever have a chance to figh
the kaiser's forces. They expect, a
the best, to only meet our boys il
couple of months as they com,
triumphantly back after havini
burned Berlin. We hope they ar
correct in their conclusions-but tn
chances are they are wrong.
Already the peace talk seems t
have had a decided effect on rails
ing the Fourth Liberty loan, and d
rector McAdoo is earnestly pleadln
for greater effort on the part of tn
people to raise the 100000, 900.
One point stands out sharp an
sinister: The money WILL B
RAISED-if not by subscription
which is a fine investment for Ame
leans, it will be raised by taxation
but the fact remains that the az
ministration MUST and WILL hav
the money to prosecute the war. TT
choice is yours.
