Ledend Of. AIsaee.. !,

There is quaint old legend Of
Alsace concerning'a family of giants
who, once upon time, lived in. q GER
tain castle in a certain valley Of the
cid country. The moral of the story
seems appropriate at time when the
French minister of agriculture, to men,
tion but one of the allies, is. making
special effort to encourage the. culti-
walton Of land. "a, -.
The giants lived, says the legend.
far from the peasants Of the plain,
and one day the daughter Of the house,
who, though quite child, was already
80 feet high, strolled toward the plain
and saw a laborer peacefully plowing
his field., She picked up the peasant,
the horse and the plow, and put them
in her pinafore and returned to the
castle to show what she had found to
her father. >
"What you think Is but, toy" said
the giant, ''is what produces the food
which enables us'to live. Put back the
laborer and his horse where you found
them" From. that time onward. adds
the tale, the peasants were never more

ONE RESULT OF THE WAR
Little Village of oberammergau Has
Received Spiritual and Physical
Blow.

Oberammergau, the little village In
Bavaria that became world-famous as
the home of the Passion Play, is vir-
tually deserted village where sorrow
broods. All of its male inhabitants
capable Of bearing arms have entered
the ranks of the Bavarian army, and
many hare fallen In battle.
Miss Madeleine Doty, who has Wis
tied the village, in recording her ex-
perlences relates a conversation that
she had with a waitress at the little
hotel.
"The town is sad," we averred.
"Why shouldn't 1t be7" she retorted.
"We have lost so much"
"How many men have gone to warr
We asked.
"Every one under As. Five hundred
and fifty out of population of 1900"
We paused q moment. 1t seemed
brutal to go on now. but we wanted
information.
"There were 40 killed and 48
wounded the first year. I don't know
the number now."
"Wil there ever be another Passisn
Play7 ~
She shrugged her shoulders. "How
can I tell? Some of the players and
musicians have lost an arm or leg
and others are dead. The town no
longer has any money"
We pushed back our chairs and
went out into the golden sunshine. No.
one moved about the streets. It was
like a village swept by a plague and
deserted. War has been a special dis
aster to Oberammergau. It has dealt
a blow at its spiritual as well as its
physical welfare.-Atlantic Monthly.

OF TURKEY DEAD
Abdul Hamid, ExiIed Ruler, to Be
Given a State Funeral, Says
Vienna Dispatch.

Amsterdam, Feb. 12.-The death on
Sunday of Abdul Hamid, former sui
tan of Turkey, from inflammation of
the lungs, is announced in dispatch
received here from Constantinople by
way of Vienna. A state funeral will
be held.
Abdul Hamid was for 33 years sui
tan of the Ottoman empire. He was
paid homage by nearly hundred mil
lion subjects. Shorn of power, he died
a prisoner, pitied, if not despised. At
the time of the war against Bulgaria
the ex-sultan was removed to Tchibou-
xii, thence to a palace prison in Con-

even the great game, now forever dis
credited, of the balance of power
but that,
y. Every territorial settlement in
volved in this war must be made in
the interest and for the benefit of the
populations concerned and not as a
part of any adjustment or compromise
OF claims among rival states; and
Il. That all well defined national
aspirations shall be accorded the ut
most satisfaction that can be accord
ed them without introducing new or
perpetuating old elements of discord
and antagOnism that would be likely
to break the peace of Europe and con-
sequently of the world.
Only Germany Fails to Concur.
"a general peace erected on such
foundations can be discussed Until
such peace can be secured we have
no choice but to go on. Sc far as we
can judge these principles that we re-
gard as fundamental are already
everywhere accepted as imperative eX-
cept among the spokesman of the mil
itary and anneXationist party in Ger
many. The tragical circumstance is
that this one party in Germany is APP
parently willing and able to send mil
lions of men to their death to prevent
what all the world now sees to be
just.
Il would not be true spokesman
of the people of the United States if
| did not say once more that we en-
tered this war upon no small occasion
and that we never can turn back from
a course chosen upon principle. Our
resources are in part modified now
and we shall not pause until they are
modified in their entirety. Our armies
are rapidly going to the fighting front
and will go more and more rapidly.
Our whole strength will be put into
this war of emancipatiOn-ema
ton from the threat and attempted
mastery of selfish groups of autOcratic
rulers-whateve the difficulties and
present partial delays.
s"We Shall Not Turn Back"
"We are indOmitable in our power
of independent action and can in no
circumstance consent to live in a world
governed by intrigue and force. We
believe that our own desire for new
international order under which rea-
son and justice and the common inter-
estS of mankind shall prevail is the
desire of enlightened men everywhere.
Without that new order the world will
be without peace and human life will
lack tolerable conditions of existence
and development. Having set our hand
to the task of achieving it we shall
not turn back.
Not Intended as Threat.
II hope that it is not necessary for
me to add that no word of what [
have said is intended as threat. That
is not the temper of our people. l
have spoken thus only that the whole
world may know the true spirit of
America-that men everywhere may
know that our passion for justice and
for self-gOvernment is no mere pas
sion of words, but passion which
once set in action, must be satisfied.
''The power of the United States is
a menace to no nation or people. 1t
will never be used in aggression or
for the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Of any selfish
interest of our own. 1t springs out of
freedom and is for the service of free

don't like to think Of what would have
happened. But Tuesday evening was
calm.
"InstantIy Disabled"
"The first intimation we had of pos
Sible danger was an order for all men
to go ON deck with life-beltS. 1t was
about 4 80 o'clock. At the same time
we sharply altered our course. At six
o'clock, just as the darkness was set
ting well in, we got the blow. No
body saw the periscope nor could one
have been seen well. Some soldiers
described having heard a kissing
sound Immediately before the torpedo
struck us in the engine room.
1--WE were instantly disabled. All
the lights went out. An order rang
out sending the troops to their boat
stations and to get the lifeboats out.
The shock was not severe. It was
more of a crunching-in feeling that
went through the ship than of a di-
rect blow.
"There Was No Panic"
"There naturally was good deal of
confusion. You cannot lower a score
of lifebOats from the height of an
upper deck in the darkness without
some confusion, but at no time was
there q panic.
"There was great excitement, how
ever. but it lasted only a few min
utes. Then all the men pulled them
selves together. MegaphOne calls
were given all over the ship saying
there was no danger that the vessel
would float till all were taken off.
In the meantime S. 0. S. signals were
sent out.
Even before some of US had
grasped the situation British destroy
ers were dashing up alongside. Such
soldiers as had been lowered in life
boats were put on board deStrOyerS.
A few men who jumped overheard in
the first excitement were picked up.
7 believe one or two lifebOats were
smashed in launching.
"Fhe destrOyers took off our men
in splendid style, with perfect order.
"An this time the Tuscania was
SLOWLY sinking. For a minute l did
not know whether to go into life
boat or to stick by the ship. One OF
fine members of the crew urged that
we STAY on board and trust John
Bulls destroyers. He yelled this in
nv ear. l took his advice and waited
for nv turn to come to go on board
destroyer.
"No sooner had we cost aft with 500
men on board, than torpedo was
fred at us. 1t missed. Another de-
strover dashed off, operating bomb
dropping device, and the claim was
afterward made that the submarine
had been done in"
The Tuscania remained afioat two
hours after being torpedoed. She was
one of a convoy of troop and provision
sbins which. after long voyage across
the Atlantic, was entering what until
recently was considered comparatively
safe waters.
The ships were within sight of land,
which was just distinguished in the
dusk of evening, when a torpedo hit
the Tuscania amidships. This was at
about seven o'clock.
The steamer took heavy list, which
made proper lowering Of the boats I'M
practicable.
