 Revolution is in the air across the sea in lard4 cursed hs r,t's+ns.'r-7, where peaceful citizens, at the command of an Emperor oS Kaiser. were sent forth to war without knowing for what they were fighting.
 These people have tired of their military dictators. They have seen their comra des die by thousands. They have seen mill lions invalided and crippled They have heard bitter words from their starving wives and children. left unprovided for by a government that thought only Of
 itself.
 It is not surprising that revolutions have broken out all over Europe. Despo- tism is the mother of anarchy. We live under freedoms bright banner. In the providence of God, our country has been
 blessed for over a century with con-
 stitution that tolerated no call to arms until the representatives of the people had calmly considered the matter. Our isolation has been our protection. We are not in fear of invasion. We are self contained. We produce all our neces- s,t,e~ choes are busy. wa~ee fho hirh- est in all the world. and our plane of liv- ing for the working masses the best. finder such conditions. seeds of revolu- tion find no fertile soil in which to de- velop.

Against these and all who stand with them, every patriotic man and woman shoulo he on guard, from this time forward. Tear down the red flag whenever and wherever it is put up And begin now.

HUN U-BOATS ALL SURRENDERED TO
 SUBMARINE CREWS
Men Who Had Borne Brunt of Fight
 Against Under Water Craft
 Given This Honor at Harwich

Harwich England, November 21.-(Cor- The business of actually accepting the German submarines in surrender was performed by officers and men of the
 British submarine force who for more than four years had maintained a tedi- ous but relentless vigil of waters of the British Isles An admiral in a light ! cruiser commanded the fleet to which the U-boats surrendered, but it was a submarine officer who first stepped ] aboard each submarine, curtly went
 through with the brief formalities and lit was a crew of men who had fought | the U-boats by underwater methods that
 manned it and took it to port.
 l These men had uncomplainingly stuck | to a job that was recognized by the admiralty as one of the most unattrac- ] tive in the navy, but it was ended by participation in an event unique in naval ] history and fitting ending for service
 performed
 l Although British submarines always were on the lookout for U-boats their i success in the war not measured l by the number they destroyed. Never theless it was co-incident that 20 U-boats should have been sunk by British sub , mersibles during the war and 1t was the same number first surrendered to the British submarine crews on the day the taking over of the German fleet was in augufated off this port
 As far as possible the admiralty dis tributed the honor of taking over the U-boats among all the men of the sub marine flotilla. Fourteen men were placed on each surrendered boat and as they surrendered in patches of 20 a total of 2S0 officers and men were allowed to ..-. 1<r.Ig gAI | forward to it eagerly, all of them wanted 1 to be selected for the first days work l but when they boarded the beaten craft ! they maintained excellent discipline and orders against any demonstration were | so carefully obeyed that it was almost an air of disinterest that they went about 1 their duties.
 l So much had been said of the intrca- l cies of the German submarine that there were many misgivings among the British officers of their ability to navigate them | soon after they had received them. They were soon reassured, however, as noth- l ing so far different from other subma- rines was found. Among the first 20 | brought in was the U-135, which is 2l6 | feet long, was completed three months
 ago and had never been to sea until she | crossed the British channel to be sur ! rendered Her type attracted Commo- dore s. & Hall, who has been at the head of the British submarine force since the beginning of hostilities.
 He was taken to the vessel soon after
 she was placed in her berth in the River Stour and inspected her with the young British lieutenant who had taken her over and brought her into port with the aid of the German engineers Commodore Hall, about to leave, smilingly asked the lieutenant when he would be ready to shove off" But the young man took
 the question seriously and promptly re-
 piled:
 "I can take her to sea in a couple of
 hours She is frightfully dirty but the
 engines are in good shape and my men
 can operate them'

From Life in Siberian Prison Camps,

 Poor lonely lives were lived within the wwalls of those camps. I know major whose main occupation became to gather cigar bands: others gave all their at tention to stamp collections. Petty things occupied great place Another major had his watch still Austrian time Che had been taken prisoner three years ago), and he told me with delight that he never had changed it. Everything is done with inc utmost care slowly, because there Is so much time. Written letters look like nr,nted ones They are illuminated with red and black ink. with here and there an underlined word. Writing that letter was relief hence. it was necessary to spend as much time on 1t as possible.
 Others spent half of the day with their dog. teaching 1t tricks, so that sometimes dogs became camp famous. And then big differences of opinion would arise because As dog had had puppies and had given them to friends. and they wer now spelling the little gardens Of other comrades Hence, the camp would be divided into dog owners and non-dos owners, and the matter would be taken very seriously. Some dogs would dis
