DISTRICT DROPS BACK
IN WAR STAMPS SALES
Now in Fourth Place, Committee
Reports-Plea Made for Re
demption Of Pledges.

The District Of Columbia Is no
longer in second place on the ma
tional list Of per capita war savings
and thrift stamp sales. According
to a statement issued by the war
savings committee managing the war
savings campaign here this city has
dropped back. to fourth position on
the list.
Even its title to fourth place is
disputed. 1t shares it with Oregon.
although Washington is nearer its
assigned quota than that state.
Our drop to fourth place." the
committee explains, 'is due solely to
the fact that many residents of this
city overlooked the redemption Of the
pledges they made in the June drive.
These written promises must be OBJ
served If the District of Columbia is
to reach its assigned quota of 81
100000 for the year.
I'VE have already appealed to the
public through the newspapers of the
city to redeem their pledges. and We
are confident that it will have the
desired result. If Intellectual. how
ever, we may have to follow up each
individual case. although it is hoped
that the innate patriotism of Wash
ingtonians will make unnecessary
this course. with the entailed labor
and expense"
The per capita purchases OF stamps
in the District of Columbia for the
month of July was $1.65, while per
capita purchases for the entire cam
paign to August amounted to $o.1S.

Praised for Devotion to Duty.

When the city of Norfolk. Va. was
threatened with the complete destruc.
ton by fire of Its thriving business
section early In January. every avail
able Rre-fghting force at hand and
from nearby towns was called Into the
battle. At the height Of the fire the
enlisted men Of the United States
navy on duty at the navy yard and in
the harbor were called on to help not
only In subduing the flames but con-
trolling the crowds. To a man they
give n splendid account Of themselves.
Among these men was John Joseph
Mclaughlin. chief boatswaIn's mate.
Although he had worked oil night. had
narrow escapes and was drenched to
the skin with ice-cold water. McLOugh-
lin declined relief when It was Of
fered and remained on duty continu-
ously until the danger was passed.
For this conspicuous service he has
been commended by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels. Mclaughlin enlisted
in the navy in 1908 at New York.

The Surrender of the German Flee,

The greatest pageant of all history
took place In the North Sea east OF
the Firth Of Forth on Thursday,
November 81, when the German fleet
steamed In procession up to the AL
lied battle fleet and surrendered. The
ships that gave themselves up form
ed II line twenty miles long; the fleet
that received them was the mighti.st
that had ever been gathered to-
gether There WAS no booming
OF guns, no cheering from the
victors; the episode that marked
the end of n once great naval power
passed Ia silence. The Englishmen,
Frenchmen, and Americans. bred in
the same naval tradition. looked on
and marvaled. Never before had
great navy steamed out OF Its barbOr
to surrender. Never before had u
fleet of armed ships undergone the
humiliation. without firing n shot, OF
being sailed by their own officers and
men under the orders OF All escort
ing hostil. fleet. Der Tag had come,
hut how different was Der Tag from
that which the arrogant German adj
mirals had toasted!
In all the records of warfare there
are no annals OF shame like those
that will record the exploits and the
extinction Of the German navy. Its
end was as ignoble Ms its victories.
IN more than four years OF war Its
| l,i. ,h
safe harbor only once-and scuttled
back under cover of friendly fog
after n brief but sufficient trial OF
strength with the enemy. Its whole
achievement throughout the war was
purely piratical In character. The
arm of the service that in all other
countries has its proud code Of chiv-
airy had In Germany its special cult
Of brutality. Don't cheer: the poor
fellows are dying" said Adm. Philip
| 1t Santiago In the moment OF victory.
| The German navy, In its moments Of
victory over passenger vessels and
hospital ships, opened fire on the &C.
cupants Of lifeboats.
Appropriate ignominy marks the
Exit of the chief parsonage OF the
German navy. That proud autocrat,
Prince Henry of Prussia, escapes the
fury OF his mutinous crews by fleeing
in disguise, waving n red flag. Won
rirpitz sacrifces his venerable whis-
kers in order to make his way uu-
molested into Swi,z-rland-the only
neutral country, as some one has
pointed out, that has no merchant
marine. Wilhelm. n fugitive In HOl-
land, is figure to excite scornful
laughter AS we'll as Ioathing. In the
fate of those great criminals there is
something grotesquely comic.
Wilhelm declared that the future
Of Germany lay upon the water. His
prediction has come true. Not the
forcing of war upon n peaceful world,
not the invasion OF Belgium, not the
unspeakable atrocities of the Teuton-
ic soldiery-not any or all OF those
deeds obtained for Germany the fu-
ture that is hers. 1t WAS the deeds
of Germany upon the water and
those alone that brought America
into the war and that decided the
future of Germany.-The Youths
