upon the lack Of support by the
English army. They overdid this by
asserting that the Portuguese prison
ers taken declared that they were
weary OF the war and that they had
been deceived into believing that the
war would last for only year. The
Government produced proofs to show
that the capture OF the troops was
due to the fortunes of war and that
the British were not to blame. The
result of this laundering piece Of
propaganda work was that thou
sands of volunteers came forward for
service on the western front, proving
that In Portugal for every man dis
abled by the Germans ten will be
found ready to take his place"
The sinking of the Lusitania had n
peculiar effect In Portugal. Lusitania
was the Roman name for much of
what Is now Portugal and It was sig
nnlly appropriate that ancient Lusi-
tania should take part In Furnishing
the nation responsible for the murders
committed in the destruction of the
vessel Of that name. GEORGE YOU'VE,
IN recent work on Portugal, says
that 1t is easy to understand her
entry into the war. "for there has
always been in Portugal strong
sense of the solidarity Of European
culture or Christianity, and ready
response to summons for n crusade
in its behalf"
Portugal has come thoroughly to
understand that what Germany lenst
desires in both Spain and Portugal
are peaceful, stable governments, and
that Berlin intends II she cannot profit
from the Hispanian peninsula herself,
that IT shall be useless to her enc
mics. On the other hand, Portugal is
convinced that the Allies seek her
prosperity and upbuildlng and that
their helpfulness is not limited to the
present but will continue after the
war. The successes of the Allies In
France, to which she Is so willingly
contributing her utmost In men and
supplies, thus bring her each day
nearer to realization of her ma
tional hopes and ambitions.

War story writers need invent moth
ing TO lend drama or comedy to battle,
glory to death in combat. Daily ac-
counts from the front tell tales ro-
mancers would hesitate to use were
their imaginauons gifted with the
power 10 invent them. One moro
story OF scene n stage director would
revel in producing was told to an
audience in this city recently by the
Rev. NJ BoRpE D'ARRERE. the fighting
priest" OF an American soldier he
had particularly noticed because on
the march he cheered his companions
by singing the Marseillaise. He sang
1t in a charge, was killed as he sang,
and his companions took up the song
as they charged on to victory.

An Atlantic Port, June ia Ger

days ago, according to report
brought here by passengers aboard an
American steamer.
officers of the vessel claimed TO
have been told the story OF the sub

victorious American undersea boats
crew.
The U-boat was sighted while the
American craft was patrolling with
only her periscope visible, the Amerl-
can commander said. When within
range a torpedo was released and
twenty seconds later microphones re-
corded a terrific explosion.
Rising to the surface the American
submarine circled about on the look
out for survivors but oil coming to
the surface was the only trace found
of the vanquished raider.
The American liner had put into
the mouth of Chesapeake bay for shell
ter in response to submarine warnings
and there anchored near an American
submarine tender alongside which
was moored the undersea craft which
was taking on provisions and fuel, Of
dcers of the vessel stated.
An interchange of wireless messages
followed in which the submarine crew

LABOR BACKS TELEGRAPHERS
Gompers Says Western Union Is Out
OF Harmony With Government.

st. Paul, Mimi, June 19.-Indication
that the American Federation of La
Dor is in complete sympathy with the
attitude of the Commercial Telegraph
ers' union in its controversy with the
Western Union was seen today in a
telegram sent by Samuel Gompers to
President Wilson.
The message was dispatched after
Gompers had read letter to the pres
ident from NewcoRb Carlton, presi-
dent of the Western Union, setting
forth the telegraph company's side of
the controversy.
Gompers in his telegram declared
the policy of the Western Union to be
out of harmony with the labor policy
of the administration, making it diff
cult to prevent interruption of work
essential to the conduct of the war

Oats are suffering badly in all parts
