NO SPECTATORS GALLERY

Lets sit on the fence and watch the show go
byw
Though not put in highbrow vocabulary, that
has been considered very high-brow philosophy
to live by.
Persons who think that they think, pessimists
who have discovered that life is joke poets dis
appointed in love or publisher, genluses VINO
dwell on the relation of the universe to themselves,
students who read more than their minds can
digest, chidess rich women past middle life, half
educated reformers-of this ilk anybody can spot
at least one sample. Usually they feel quite su-
peror to the war. They call it mans supreme
folly"
Such persons consider themselves futurists
rather than modernists. They say "lsn't human
ity amusing! while common folks with only COM
mon school learning can tell them that Shake
speare, three centuries ago. put the same thing this
way: What fools we mortals be"
Persons who scorn the common lot would not
be at all important except that they are everast-
ingly influencing other minds. That's their one
occupation and today it is evil job tor it kills
enthusiasm in the cause of our arms, and thereby
it greatly comforts our enemy,
Formerly, nobody cared if superior persons
looked on life as circus performance invented tor
their private entertainment In fact, from their
elevated positions, "watching the show" they
were at least out of the way of useful humans.
But today the world is far from being amusing and
there is no place on it any more for spectators
gallery.
The unburied dead on the field Of battle cry
aloud for the victory of Right over Wrong. The
blood of every unknown hero dying there rebukes
all who watch the war go bly," convinced that they
cannot help it, anyway.
HE that is not with me is against me!'
Whoever stands aoof from the hard human
experience of today, aids and abets the enemy
Nobody can feel superior to the war without class
ing himself with the kaiser and his Colt.
So, if you find friend occupying position
of detachment on some intellectual fence, no mat
ter how highbrow his philosophy, give him jolt
and knock him off.
Failing to breach the allied lines with guns the
kaiser tries peace proposals. You have to admit
that it's cheaper, anyhow.
Uncle Sam is to lock his harbors against trade
which serves no war purpose. Well sir, we've
got used to Swiss cheese made in America already,
for one thing. /

1000 GERMAN
SAILORS AIDED
In KEEL NUTlNY
A u t h e nti c information
From Germany Tells
Of Rebellion


Correspondence of The
Associated Press. j-Seven thousand
German sailors participated in the
mutiny on board the dreadnoughts OF
the German High Seas fleet at Kiel
in October last and had planned to
lombard and destroy the batteries at
WJlhelmshaven and take the whole
fleet to England under a white flag,
according to story Of the mutiny
from a writer in Germany, which is
published in a weekly dispatch.
1.-THE mutiny," he writes, was the
result Of unjust treatment, short
leave, bullying, and last, but not
least, bad food. The food consisted
of potatoes, turnips, mangel wurZels
favored with parsley and salt. Little
meat was rationed out, and that of
very poor quality. The bread was
very bad in composition and was eft
en- so mouldy and old as to be uneat-
able.
las the men were sick Of the whole
business they decided to revolt. The
leading sailors were the organizers
Of the affair, and all the battleships
decided to join. The men held their
meetings on the beach. Seven thou
sand joined the movement, and signed
q secret document to stand by each
other.
THE plan was at a given signal
to throw officers overheard, to bonn
bard Wilhelmshaven, so as to de-
stroy the batteries there, and then
sail out and take the whole fleet over
to England under the white flag. Be- |
fore the day fixed had arrived how |
ever, two Of the sailors betrayed the |
plan, and as various men and leading |
sailors began under one pretext and |
other to be sent away from ships the |
others suspected that the plot was |
known. They therefore determined |
to take the bull by the horns.
The revolt started on the Koenig
Albert (dreadnOught) and as the com
mander of that ship tried high handed !
police measures he was shot down.
In falling from the commanders
bridge he broke his neck. The other
officers were also got rid Of The
Pillau joined in and each ship landed
700 men. They marched up through
the streets of the town.
The crews Of the Reinland, Grosser
Kurfurst, (dreadnoughts) and Esass
(pre- dreadnoUght) followed suit.
Here they received a summons from
one Of the captains to return to their
duties and obey orders. The sailors
sent back the message, the Council of i
Sailors has decided to eat first and
obey afterwards The captain. who
was a naval Solomon in his wav
sent them soothing message and in
Yited them all to a good meal, and
this got them in hand.
TN few days all was quiet again i
In the sequel 400 men were arrested |;
and punished in various discreet
ways, the authorities evidently fear
Ing any wholesale measures; but al
though discipline has been restored J
there Is still deep feeling Of ciscon-
tent"

Dishing Up the Sport Dope
b > j 4 G K , K E 3 " E

Twenty-one years old, cocky, ag-
gressive and capable, Charlie Hol-
Iocher Of the Cubs looms up as one
OF the most talented short fielders
to break into the big show in many
a day. A product of the sand lots
Of ST. Louis, upon which he gained
his early baseball experiences as a
member of various and sundry
"Muny League" teams, Hollocher
has been in professional ball for only
three years. He came up to the ma
jors by way Of Rock Island, Ill, and
Portland, Ore. and arrived this
spring. -.... ...-s
The fans out on the far Pacific
coast are not surprised to hear that
Charlie is making good in fast COM
pany. They looked him over care
fully out there last season and
judged him to be more than a trifle
too good for the Coast league, and
it would seem that their estimate
OF him was tolerably correct.
1t came apparent to Fred Mitchell
just a few days after the Cubs re-
ported at their training camp at
Pasadena, Cal, this spring that he
would not have to look any further
than HoIlocher for a top notch
shortstop, and the manner in which
the youngster has played since the
opening of the season has served to
convince him that his first impress
sion was correct.
EIollocher, who hit .276 with Port
land, is hitting over 300 at present
and his work at shortstop has been
first class in every respect. He has
made some wonderful plays in the
present series between the Giants
and Cubs, and though he failed to
get a hit in either of the first two
games he connected with the ball
for two doubles and a single in five
time at bat in yesterdays game.
Hollocher is a quiet, Iikable kid
and is as popular with his team
mates as he is with the fans. Though
he is not conceited he came into the
league, with q lot Of confidence in.
himself, and this has increased as a
result Of his fine work He is not
a bit awed by his new surroundings
and he handles hifself like a vet
eran player. Hollocher became
twenty one years Of age recently
and registered for the draft last
week. just how long he will be
spared to the Cubs is problenatieal.

ORLEANS CLIMATE CHANGING.

New Orleans, June 15.-The climate
Of New Orleans is undergoing a
change, already with an increase in
temperature since 1900 of eight de-
grees in summer and a decrease Of
four degrees in winter. DR.. I. M.
Cline, Weather bureau district for
caster, holds that the city of New
Orleans, itself is responsible because
Of the installation some years age Of
the sub-surface drainage system.
The scientific explanation is that
water absorbs heat more slowly than
the earth during the day and loses
1t less rapidly at night. New Orleans,
entirely surrounded by water and
with its soil saturated, formerly
boosted of a more uniform climate.
In late years, however, levees have
prevented overflows, reclamation pro-
jects have effected the drainage of
swamps, and finally. sub-surface
drainage in the city not only has
eliminated surface water from the
street drains but ground moisture has
been lowered eight or ten feet.

cloth and lace to the bodies Of the
wee pests. Through the microscope
these dressed fleas appeared as minia-
ture persons with hats, dresses and
suits covering their tiny forms.
When the United States govern
ment limited passports to persons on
necessary business, the tourist travel
to Juarez ceased and, automatically,
so did the demand for dressed fleas.
Jumping Mexican beans, another
offering Of the curio stores, have
ceased to be sold for the same rea-
son. Hundreds of these little,
wormy, beans were sold to travellers
from the United States when the port
was open.
Drawnwork, pottery, hand carved
canes, mantillas and Mexican con-
fections are rapidly disappearing from
the shops and many of these curio
stores have closed their doors since
the tourist embargo became effec-
tive.
