DRAMATIC STORY
! OF CREWS RESCUE
Sinking Of U. S. S. schurz,

LANDING OF SURVIVORS

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June "a
Passengers on an American steam
ship from the West Indies, which has
brought here Capt. W. D. Wells and
215 members of the crew of the
L. s. S. Schurz, the former German
gunboat Geier, which was sunk off
the coast of North Carolina last Fri
day after colliding with the tank
steamer Florida, told thrilling story
Of rescue after the S. o. s. call sent
out by the Schurz had been picked
up at o'clock in the morning.
One member of the Schurz's crew
was drowned as a result of the col
lision. Five other sailors and an Of

arrival here to naval hospital. The
rest of the crew, taken in charge by
naval intelligence officers, We're not
allowed to describe the sinking.
Activity of Rescue Ship.
Passengers orr the rescue ship. how
ever, gave a dramatic account of the
last chapter in the career of the i'll
fated Schurs, which, while flying the
German ensign. dashed into Honolulu
in the fall Of 1914 to escape Japanese
cruisers, and later, after having been
interned, took hand in Information

the United States. It was dawn when
the Schurz and Florida collided, and

hearing cracking notes from the
wireless room and then feeling the
vessel leap forward under added
steam, as she dashed to the rescue.
After the vessel had picked up many
seamen it took aboard others rescued
by the Florida. Just as the last sur
viyor was drawn from the water, the
Schurz disappeared under the waves.
The Florida resumed her course and
the rescue ship headed for this port.
U. s. Threatens to Close Station.
1t was in October 1914. that the
Schurz, then the Geier, first claimed
the attention Of the world. With the
Pacific cleared of German naval bases
the little gunboat of only 1900 tons
put out from Tsingtau. China. to con
voy the German steamer Lockson to
Honolulu, arriving there October IS.
The next day came a threat from the
United States government to close the
Marconi station at Honolulu for fash
ing word OF her arrival and thereby
threatening Americas neutrality.
The Geier took many days to coal
and more to make engine repairs.
Meanwhile the Japanese cruisers Ri
zon and Asama were reported OF the
entrance of the harbor, waiting for
her to put out, and the Japanese en-
bassy at Washington was requesting
that she either be forced to leave or
else submit to internment.

voice sounded peremptorily through
the silent house. Your uncle is

"Oh, pshaw!" Dora muttered.
well, go on Gym, and tell me the
rest when you come back. Mother

II am coming!" Cynthia called,
Fastening from the room.
Her uncle's den was at the other
end of the hall and she stopped in
the open door. Her aunt was stand
ing here, her wrap still on. She
must have been much absorbed to
forget to remove the heavy velvet
and fur mantle. Stephen Living
ston stood also, lingering nerv-
ously the cigar and cigar-cutter
which he held.
Come in, child" he commanded,
laying down both cigar and cutter
and stepping forward. Then, as if
to gain time. he added-"You look
like your mother tonight, my dear"
Cynthia tried to smile, but the
muscles of her mouth seemed to
have stiffened.
Your mother was very lovely
would be pleased with your action
with regard to Gerald Stewart. I
have had a long talk with him this
evening, as you know. Sit down,
child"
The girls silence seemed to en-
barrass him. He moved aside that
she might, seat herself on the couch.
II want to congratulate you, Gym
thia,", he went on. you have cho-
sen wisely. 1 hope you will be very
happy"
''Thank you!' she managed to
speak at last.
Her aunt bent down and kissed
her on the cheek. MANY congrat-
ulations dear" she cooed. Your
uncle and 1 are both much graft
fed"
Thank you!" Cynthia said again.
4, Il will leave you to talk business
with your uncle" Mrs. Livingstone
announced sweetly. I'VE both wish
YOU much happiness, dear child.
You must feel that you are like our
own daughter during the next few
months, until you go to your hus-
bands home"
Before Cynthia could summon her
wits to reply, the matron swept
from the room, closing the door be-
hind her. The girl shivered slight
ly.
Your are cold?" her uncle ques-
toned.
Her Uncle's Present
Cynthia remembered that her
aunt had asked her this same ques-
ton this evening at the concert,
and she explained now, as she had

very we'll in business, but l did not
know that he was as prosperous as
he is. He can support a wife hand

Cynthia wondered what she ought
to say. Perhaps if she loved Gerald
she might know how to reply.
II am glad you are pleased" she
said humbly.
Her uncle drew his brows to-
gether. Il am not thinking of
whether I am pleased or not, Gym

future"
Eyes, sir Her pale lips formed
the words with difficulty.
"And now I want to tell you that

it for that purpose. Your future

"Oh!' Cynthia pressed her hands
together in protest. ''I cannot have
that, Uncle! 1 must pay for all
such things myself"

tone was not rough. but stern. "As
the brother of your mother-who

Are Discussed

I get many letters dealing with
the much discussed, never-settled
mother-in-law, daughter-in-law ques-
ton; therefore, conversation L
heard the other day seems especially
apt, so l give it.
A wise and clever mother was
talking to her daughter, who had
been married a year or two before,
and who was now spending some
weeks at her old home.
The mother happened to be dis
coursing on the wisdom of ignor-
ance as much as possible the minor
annoyances in life, the flies in the
amber, the notes in the sunshine
when the daughter interrupted her
with a short laugh.
Il don't believe you'd be quite
so philosophical if you had such
fly in the amber as my mother-in-
law"
Well" replied her mother, you
can at least be thankful that you
don't have to live in the same house
with her"
IT'S almost as bad" the girl (for
she was no more than GRID spoke
Eloomily. She is constantly claim
ing Jacks time and attention, and
she makes it plain that she barely
tolerates me. She looks upon me
as an intruder, and she is always
telling me what congenial compan-
ions she and Jack were, how well
they understood each other and
what a confidant he made of her.
She tells me over and over again
that he would frequently say that he
did not know how he could get along
without his mother; that she was
the best pal he ever had"
"A stupid way to play the moth
er-in-law game" commented the
older woman, but. even so. make
some allowances for her All that
she says is probably true, isn't it,"
"Of course it's true" the daugh-
ter spoke with bitterness, that's the
worst of it. There is only one fault

He took her hand as she sat on

fatherly way, dropping a kiss upon
her forehead. She recalled in a

She sprang to her feet. Good
night" she murmured.
"I told your aunt not to tell the
good news to Dora" her uncle re-
marked with a smile. II know
girls like to tell each other these
surprises"
Opening the door, he stood to
one side to let her pass, and with
mute bow, she went out of the
room.

mother to understand that his first
interest was his wife,"
Her mother thought for a few
minutes, her lips little compressed.
MY sympathies are with you, of
course" she said. But look at the
matter in an abstract way, quite
as If you were not concerned in it.
Jack married you because he was
deeply in love with you. You mean
more in his life than any one else.
All of his real interests are with
you. You are both young and you
are beginning a new life together.
The new home you two are making
is a more real and vital matter to
him than any memories of his old
one.
"All of his and your hopes and
plans and ambitions for the. future
are identical. His fidelity to his
mother is merely a proof of his un-
changing devotion to you; it shows
his quality and the constancy of his
nature. He realizes that she is old,
and that she has lived through much
suffering and disappointment. He
remembers with gratitude her care
and kindness, and he knows that to
refuse her some of his society now
would sadden and embitter her last
years. .......- ..,...
Her exactations may be very try
ing as far as both he and you are
concerned, but can't you be big
enough and generous enough to see
them for what. they are. She is
trying desperately to clutch more
than her share of affection, and no
one can do that successfully. Your
husband is too loyal to her to admit
her selfishness, but you may be sure
he is not blind. And as for you, if
you are going to notice every trifie
and be hurt and offended by all the
different shades of her manner to-
ward you, you will be building up a
fine house of misery for yourself.
THE love your husband has for
you is yours; the love he has for
his mother is hers. Neither of you
can possibly get what belongs to
the Ather, although you may each
lose your share in the struggle. But
she is trying to .encroach on what
is yours, and you are determined to
get what is hers, and the result is
lovely scramble.
LAS for the way she treats you,
what does it matter? Just be
blithely happy and ignore it. Be uni
formly pleasant and polite, when
YOU are thrown with her and let 1t
go at that. You are giving her
great power over you when you
allow either her manner or nef
words to get under your skin. You
do not have to live your life with
her and it's never the way other
people treat us that spoils our hap
piness or our tempers, it is the men
tai attitude that we take toward
them.
Just because your mother-in-
law is a blind and foolish woman
trying to do what can't be done
rule the lives of the younger gen.
eration-why should you match her
in blindness and folly?"

THE NEW ARISTOCRACY.

There must be an honored element
in the nature of things. Men may be
created politically equal, but they do
not remain on the same social plane
The spirit of emulation, of competi-
ton, cannot be eliminated from the
game of life without detracting from
its zest. But after man has assured
himself against want there is not
much merit in the accumulation of coin,
and this was discovered long ago by
those who were In the best position to
know the truth about it. The vast
benefactions of living rich men and the
princely requests left by the dead have
been evidence of desire to be distinguish
ed for something else than selfish &C
emulation.
The national experience with the war,
however, is spreading the gospel of
service. More people than ever before
realize that to amount to anything in
this world they must have a record of
having done something for their fellow
men.
THE true aristocrat," said Mr..
Charles M. Schwab recently. express
ing the same idea, will be the man of
integrity, having at heart the welfare
of his fellows and possessing a
sturdy character There will be no
sharp distinctions between rich and
poor.
Welcome the new aristocracy! 1t
is not mere dream. The signs have
pointed toward it for some time past;
it is one of the compensations of the
war that is Fastening the realization of
the ideal.

DEAR MOTHER: Will write you line

We landed safely at fine little town,
but | can't tell you the name of it. This
surely is fine country, what little
have seen of it. We hlked about four
miles to where we are now. They say
we are going to leave here IN a day or
so. We are crowded up pretty bad here
but like 1t fine. Things are not like
they are in the States. We surely had
q fine trip across. Had very calm sea
all the way. | am going to write a
name on the back of this letter, YOU
write it down. | can't tell you any,
thing about it now but if | ever see YOU
can tell you lot about it. Things
look so different here to what they do
in the States. There is nothing like a
wire or rail fence here but they have
some awfully good looking wheat and
pretty girls, but l can't talk to them,
so you see am out of luck.
They say it rains here nearly all the

GOOD OF THE WHOLE.

Two thousand years ago, old Seneca,
the distinguished Roman sire, wrote:
1--WE are members of one great body.
Nature planted in US mutual love, and
fitted US for a social life. We must
consider that we we're born for the
good of the whole
May it not be hoped that when the
war is over, won as it is going to be by
the masses, we will gradually. if not
instantly, become people made up of
men and women, where majority will
each consider he or she was born for
the good of the whole" Is not such a
thing possible?
1t does not follow that all will think
alike. There never has been a time
when disagreements have not prevailed
There are differences in taste. different
points of view; every one is not blessed
with the same strength of vision: but
brotherly charity will lead US to disagree
without such thing as personal enmity
because of disagreement.
In the face of powerful foe, we
stand united, each of US anxious to do
something for the right as God has
given US to see the right; if in time of
adversely we can be so closely and
indlssolubly united. why cannot that
also come to pass in times of peace
and prosperity? This is a time when
none of US can say to any of the rest
of US, I'VE have no need of thee" whv
can we not In time of peace be able to
subscribe to the doctrine that each of US
was "born for the good of the whole?
1t is certain that the cost to us of
the war in which we are engaged Is
something enormous; but there is rea-
son to believe that it will present some
compensation. that America is going
to become better America than ever
before.
