Humanity VS.. The Hun


The German way:
1.-THE submarine came alongside.
destroyed our wireless with shells
and ordered US from our boats on to
the deck Of the sub-sea craft. The cap
tain and a passenger were taken III
side the U-boat, then all our out4f
clothing WAS taken away from us, the
lifeboats smashed with axes, the osss
were broken and all but eight Of the
iifebelts removed. Then the Germans
tlosed the hatch Of the submarine
and she began to sink rapidly. We
were left on the deck half clothed.
Suddenly 1 heard q rush Of water
and the shout, She's sinking! I'M
mediately afterward the submarine
submerged and most Of the men went
down with her."-Report Of the chief
engineer o: the Belgian Prince, one
of three survivors OF . crew Of forty
one.
The American way:
THE submarine crew swarmed the
deck with arms upheld In token Of
surrender. The Tanning approached
the submarine to pick up prisoners.
Although the submarine crew all
wore life perservers number Of
them were exhausted when they
reached the side of the American de-
stroyers. Ten Of the Germans were
so, weak that lines had to be passed
under their arms tn haul them back
aboard. One man WAS In suc;' condi-
tiou that he could not hold the line
thrown him. Cnief Pnarnacists
Mate Elzer Harwell and Coxswain
Francis g. Conner jumped overheard
after this man and secured line uu-
der his arms. When he WAS hauled
aboard every effort was made To re-
suscltate him but he died In few
minutes. After being taken on board
the German prisoners were given hot
coffee and sand witches. To make them
comfortable the crew Of the Ameri-
can destroyer gave them warm coats
and heavy clothing."-From an &C.
count OF the destruction Of German
submarine and the capture Of Its ON
GERS and crew by the American dss-
troyers Tanning and Nicholson.
These accounts strikingly reveal
the issues Of this war. They grapht-
cally point out that America entered
this war to preserve Christian civili-
cation through the overflow Of ruth
less PrussianisIn. They show why
every American should put his coun-
try first In his thoughts and actions
until the lying, treacherous. brutal
German government Is stripped OF Its
pretensions and its power.

Kindness.
Don't quarrel. There Is no good in
1t. 1t is impossible to extract truth
from 1t. Its philosophy reflects hos
tility to truth. because 1t is always one
sided and therefore an effort to make
your side appear the better. which is
itself a false attitude. 1t is quite DIFF
ficult to get at the truth even In Sc
rene and philosophical discussion sim
ply because the truth Is inaccessible to
argument. Where is the road to truth ?
It is the road called Kindness. One
will never reach truth by any other
route. We have seen men get very
mad at each other In argument, who
finally extricated themselves from their
mad spell. spoke gently. shook hands
and saw the truth. Try 1t and Sec

Telling It In Confidence

"If you have information that you
don't want people to spread around,
keep 1t to yourself" says writer in
the American Magazine.
1.-THE trouble with a human being
who hears a thing in confidence Is Of
ten this-he emit remember that he
heard 1t in confidence. He remembers
the item Of news. provided 1t Is juicy
enough. but the fact that he heard 1t
In confidence drops out Of mind. and
then he begins to tell It around. Tell
Ing thing in confidence IL little like
handing a man a Jewel In an envelope
and at the same time warning him to
take as good care Of the envelope as
he takes of the jewel. Everything
goes all right for awhile. But by and
by the envelope wears out. 1t is a
fimsy sort Of thing anyway. And 30
there comes time when the envelope.

Since the ship failed to appear, naval
vessels have patrolled all coasts In the
vicinity of her route, looking for wreck
age or survivors. Nothing has been
found.
Every vessel known to have been
anywhere in the region at the time has
been communicated with. None saw or
heard anything Of the collier. Reports
from every source showed nothing to
warrant the storm theory. 1t is the
mild season of the year In those
waters. The route the Cyclops would
have followed was somewhat sheltered.
The ship had aboard an insufficient
quantity of coal for a journey to the
nearest German port had she been cap
tured. Some officers think that If the
ship was captured her captors may be
holding her out of trade routes, walt

The explosion theory is met by the
fact that only sufficient ammunition

Mystery in Radio Silence.

1t is the absolute silence of tho radio
that makes the case one of the most
mysterious in naval annals. That fact
alone ,inclines officials to the view that
the ship might have been captured by
persons aboard. for in no other way
would 1t have been possible to silence
calls for aid. In case of storm or an
