This Service.

Washington.-The encounters of
American merchant vessels with Ger
man submarines constitute one Of the
most thrilling chapters Of the. war.
When the president ordered our mer-
chantmen armed for protection against
undersea attack the navy was called
upon to furnish hundreds Of guns and
thousands of trained gunners to man
them. To perform this task new
branch of the service was organized
the "armed guards" Even before this
country declared war they were on ac-
tive duty, and the first man Of the
navy to lose his life in service against
the enemy was a member of the armed
guards, John I. Eopolucci. lost In the
sinking Of the Aztec April 1, 1917.
One Of the most efficient aids Of
Commander Farley in building up the
armed guards organization was
young woman, Miss Helen q. Brooks,
now confidential secretary to Lieuten-
ant Commander Hall. who succeeded
Commander Farley.
Shares In Big Events.
Miss Brooks has had share in
many of the most interesting Incidents
Of the war. It was to her desk that
the news came of the sinking Of the
Aztec and the Vacuum. She received
the account of the sinking Of the first
German submarine by the Silver
Shell of the long battle Of the Moreni,
which fought an enemy U-boat until
almost the entire ship was in flames ;
Of the four-hour fight of the J. L.
Luckenbach which. though hit many
times, refused to surrender. She made
out the lists of the first men taken
prisoner by Germany, members Of the
armed guard Of the ill-fated Campana.
She has transcribed many letters Of
commentator of men for heroic
deeds, and many messages transmit
ting to relatives the sad news that
son, husband or brother has been
killed or wounded.
The names, ratings and addresses Of
next of kin of all the members of the
armed guards are kept on cards. In a
separate envelope for each vessel.
The records of all those who lose
their lives In the service Of their coun-
try are kept In n special division.

Ono Egg In Three Weeks.

an American colleague. the Berlin rep

contracted pneumonia. 1t was criti-

said the patient would never recover.
The Berlin food rations, they said,

with whom his name had been regis

eggs enough to fll even this scanty or
der. But we sent out an appeal to
every available American to help. We
mobilized every egg in the American
colony in Berlin. We gathered all the
butter we could find. We asked no
questions when there seemed some
doubt as to the strictness with which
the zone egg every three weeks" regu-
lation had been obeyed. But this pa

all the Central powers. not the kaiser
nor Hindenburg, had reveled In any
such luxury of eggs in three years OF
war. But 1t saved his life. 1t was
the mobilization Of the eggs, not the
physicians that did It,"

A New Service FLAG.

One Of our jackies, Maurice Glenn

making a balanced design.

THE PRESIDENTS BLUNDER.

President Wilson's open letter ia
the American people, warning them
that the election of a Republican Con
gress would limit the conduct of the
war, was a colossal tactical blunder.
It's necessary effect will be to create
division where there was the closest
unity; political strife where there
was political peace. From the firing
of the first gun of the war all parties
have stood solidly behind the Presi-
dent as the leader of the nation. His
political enemies in house and SEN
ate have stood more solidly behind
him than members of his own party.
In the larger necessity of winning
the war Republican senators and con-
gressmen have sacrificed partisan adj
vantage in order to maintain that
spirit of national unity so necessary
for marshaling the fullest energies
of the people, and now it is a painful
spectacle to see the President of the
United States, for no better purpose
than partisan advantage, wrecking
the unity of the nation by arousing
all the latent fire of political division.
The only conceivable excuse for
such action is that the President sees
storm of political upheaval, brew
ing. and seeks to avert it by capitaliz-
ing the war Republicans everywhere
should stand solidly by the President
as our commander in chief directing
the war, but his interference in the
freedom of elections should be re-
sented by the voters. regardless of
party. The Presidents letter will
cut both ways, and the Republicans
have little to fear from its effect up
on the result next Tuesday, but the
deplorable feature of his attempted
interference is its baneful effect in
arousing a feeling of partisan bitter
ness when the utmost unity of the
people is the best asset of a nation
war.

THE CHURCH PEOPLE ON CANDI-
DATE STANLEY.

Never before in the memory of
Kentucky politics have the moral
| forces of the state been so violently
arrayed against candidate for Of
flee as they are just now against Gov
ernor Stanley.
The Fulton Baptist Association,
representing membership of four
counties, has said in a resolution,
unanimously adopted, 1--WE have a
right to demand of political parties
that they offer candidates for whom
good citizens can vote" This is the
severest indictment ever brought by
responsible body against a candi-
date for office, that has come to our
knowledge. II is a declaration that
good citizens can not vote for the
Democratic State Central Committee S
candidate for United States senator.
Second" says the resolution OF the
Association, THAT we, as a represen-
tative body of Baptist, make it a
point to religiously go to the polls
next November and register our OBJ
lection to the dangerous enemy, by
voting against its henchmen."
The Louisville Annual Conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church,
in session at jacksonville in Septem-
Der, declared: I'VE desire to en-
phasize in unmistakable terms, that
our Louisville Conference give sup
port to men seeking to represent us
in the state and national representa-
tive bodies, only such men as have
clean political record behind them
on the liquor question. We do not
believe in political death-bed repen-
lance. Our conference should not
be partisan in such times as these
but-omni-partisan."
The convention of the Christian
Church that adjourned at Richmond,
October 3, adopted the following reso-
lutions: I'VE urge that the pro-
gress that has been made shall be
rendered secure by the election OF
men to every public office, legisla-
tive and administrative, who by their
past record are known to be true
friends of prohibition"
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union at London, KY, endorsed
the candidacy of DR.. Bruner because
of his record on the liquor question.

Republicans have insisted that with
the great war load to haul both po-

MIR. Wilson's appeal is simply the
supreme effort of the Democratic high

political purposes the glorious spirit
of patriotism that inspires this coun--
try He now openly speaks, as his
party has been secretly acting for
months. And he changes nothing,
neither the facts. nor the Democratic
political methods nor the certainty
of Republican success.
This is a call to all loyal Repub-

stand by their country and their can
didates. and to let the world know
that America spurns autocracy no
less at home than abroad. and will
