Men have to go right up against the
fighting line and do the dangerous
work of war in order to receive the
highest commentator that the people
of a government can bestow upon
them. Naturally it is the army that is
receiving so much attention now, while
little or nothing is said about the navy.
man Padgett of Tennessee, chairman
of the committee ON naval affairs, to
tell the house the story of what the
navy is actually doing in this war. He
did not point out that the navy has
had very few actual encounters and
has not lost thousands of men as in
the case of the army, but he did show
that without the navy it would have
been impossible to transport that army
to Europe. 1t is the navy that has pro-
tected the transports which have car
ried to Europe nearly 100000 men.
The navy has at all times been in dam
ger while performing this duty, al
though most of the actual fighting has
been on land rather than at sea. There
has been no complaint of the navy, but
there are certain friends of the navy
who fear the country may forget the.
part that it has played in this great
war on account of the fact that the
navy has met with little actual fight
ing and few disasters.
The fact that the navy has re-
manned almost unscathed while the
army has been suffering severe losses
in heavy fighting recalls an incident Of
the Spanish war. Admiral Sampson
had large fleet encircling the harbor
of Santiago, but none of the vessels
went near enough to receive a shot
from the forts or to get In touch with
the little Spanish squadron that was
in the harbor. General Skaters army
had been fighting several days and met
with severe losses. In conference
Sampson intimated that the army ives
not doing all that it should do, and
Shafter retorted, "Why don't you go
in and get somebody killed, so as TO
show that you're doing something"

1t is altogether probable that
the German peace drive in this
country caused discussion from one
end to the other of the land which
will have wholesome effect, and in a
large measure offset the damage which
was done through the fear of negoti-
ated peace instead of an absolute sur
render. This discussion showed that
the American people were bitterly op-
posed to any armiStice or any ceSsa-
ton of war upon the Hun until he
was SOundly beaten and accepted I'M
conditional surrender. 1t is also likely
that hereafter none of the allied ma
tons will enter into parleys or nego-
tiations with the Germans for any kind
of peace except that which is to be
die lated when there is no longer Ger
man resistance. 1t became evident in
the discussions throughout the coun-
try, and particularly in the senate
where there was scarcely a dissent
ing voice, that our people die not even
want to talk of possible negotia tons
for peace until Germany had received
what was coming to her for the atrOci-
ties of the past four years.
Here and there a voice has been
heard to the effect that we are not in
this war to wreak vengeance upon the
German people. But it should be re-
membered that criminals are punished
not only as matter of retribution, but
in order that they and others may not
again commit crimes.

1t is not a bad idea to put off buying

which nearly every woman needs-un-

the middle of May styles are establish

designers have appeared and had their

Long capes, long coats and coats

Coats have appeared in the heavier

Paris Alerte Summons
Red Cross AInbulances
twenty-five Men Rush to Scene When
Buildings Are Struck by Bombs.

The sounding of the alerte or air
raid alarm in Paris summons twenty
five American Red Cross ambulance
men to report instantly to the ambu-
lance garage. These men are provided
with gas masks, put on steel helmets
and warm up" ten to fifteen ambu-
llances. If the Boche plane succeeds
in planting a bomb on a building the
Paris Police Department flashes word
ito the garage at the same time that
the Fire Department in the district Is
called. AS many ambulances as are
needed start on a rush through the alb
solutely black streets to the scene of
the disaster. Once there, the Red
Cross doctors and crews care for the
wounded and join with the pompiers,
or iremen, in rescuing any persons
caught in the wreck.
Rescuing Raid Victims.
A typical alarm reached the garage
one morning at one o'clock. A bomb
had struck a five story building and
crumbled the top floors into a mass Of
w~reckage, supported only by the slen-
der iron pillars of the ground floor.
The ambulance and firemen made their
way into the wreck from the rear base
ment and heard a man calling for help
from the front of the building. BY the
aid of flash lights two firemen and two
ambulance men, treading like cats lest
they might bring down a mass of
beams, finally got within fifteen feet
of the imprisoned tenant. The res
cuers crowded through a narrow rent
in a wall into a small room, where a
single thin iron pillar held up hun
dreds of tons of debris. A hole was
cut into the wall, only to find an iron
stove in the way! This stove was
smashed with hatchets and drawn,
piece by piece, through the hole in the
wall. One Of the men crawled through
and got the victim, who was hurt, but
fortunately not seriously. While they
were moving him there came a sudden
slipping crash overhead. Fortu-
nately the little iron pillar held, and
the party was able to back out into
the alley, carrying the injured mar.
He was placed in a Red Cross ambu-
lance and rushed to a hospital.
When the rescue group took another
look at the front Of the building they
found that the slip had piled thirty
feet of solid wreckage in the room
where the stove had been.

will be accepted by the Red Cross.
This ruling is absolute and is in ac-
cordance with the order issued by
General P~ershing.
This ruling, which has just been Is

allay the confusion that has seemed to

and everything must go through the
regular channels and be redistributed

POINT TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY
Huns Claim That Russia's Collapse
Was Foretold in Verse in the
Book of Daniel.

Quotations from the Bible and the
use of the name of the Deity are ia.
vorite methods of the kaiser and his
subjects for trying to justify them
selves for bringing on the world dis.
aster. Now they have come forward
with a verse from the Book of Daniel
to prove that a Biblical prophecy has
come true in the collapse of the Rus
sian fighting forces. The verse is:
"And for the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be taken away, and the
abomination that maketh desolate set
up, there shall be a thousand two hun.
bred and ninety days"
The Germans point out that the
period of 1890 days corresponds with
the period from August 1, 1914, when
war began between Germany and Rus.
STA, and February il, 1918, when it
was announced that Trotzky had de-
clared the war at an end.

to embark for France.
When the men in the camps get their
summer wear they return their winter
apparel to the Quartermaster's Depart
ment. Next fall, when new winter out
fits are distributed, the men will turn
over the uniforms they now are wear

a result, the camps throughout the

workers in New York. If it proves
successful here it will be ~inaugurated

Gloria was as delectable a bit of
femininity as one could find at the

boots, she had q most alluring manner

Despite the alteration paid her, she re-

parent facts, little was known of

ways dressed in good taste, with no.
little variety in her costumes, it is not
to be wondered that she excited the

her anticipated plunge. Pausing a mo-
