"Land and Water" published a special
American number few weeks ago, in
which writer declared:

canoe of the entry of America into the war
on the side Of the Allies It is not difficult
to estimate the final effect Of her aid in
men, material and finance; but these, i'm

the beginning of things. The vital fact is
OF moral character"
The triumph of the marines will
doubtless go long way toward demon
strating to England just what the "mor-
al character" mentioned by this writer
really amounts to. And yet,. in spite Of
the magnificent demonstration at Cha
teau Thierry, the German press has the
face to continue its campaign Of depre-
citation. "Only few Of the Americans
escaped by surrender or by hasty fight
toward the rear" is one of the notable
sentences Of the bulletin covering the
engagement.
A dispatch in "The New York Sun"
said:
"The German newspapers, whose news
columns are not only under the strictest
censorship but whose very editorial utter
ances are controlled and moulded by the
government, are evidently under instrue-
tions to buoy up the hopes Of the civil
population by sneering references to tho

States is giving and can give in tho future

broke through lines which the Kaiser
boasted were invincible, and indisputably
proved both the spirit and quality of
active American participation in the war.
The delight of the American press is
well characterized by writer in "The
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune" who
says:
"If any one thinks the Huns will not
hunt somewhere else along the line for
place to break through Get him tell it to
the Marines That's an old expression in
controverting any statement or theory of
doubtful consistency. In this instance it
hts most appositely. The marines are in po-
sition to know just how much that sort of
supposition is worth. They are there.

It was these first to fight fellows who won

Also they have done little driving on
their own account. 1t is an American char
acteristic, this driving business, and the
chances are more of it will be done by the
Allies as soon as enough Sammies are in
line"
And this paper suggests that the mes
sage OF the marines at the Marne might
be thus phrased:
We have arrived. So far just the van
guard But We are actually factor from
this on that must be reckoned with in this
war. Every coming day we become more
and more factor. We support the Allies

adds "The Wilmington Journal" and in
this special instance they have "given

nghting"-a taste which, by the way,
sne Germans have found decidedly un-
pleasant" And yet, as "The New York
sun" points out, the marines did no
more than, by their own fine record,

mind, gloat over the crime. of
their U-boats much as a foul
murderer gloats over his victims.
They take sort of diseased pride
in such ghastly work. But the
feeling of all neutral seamen is
against them. Norway, since the
outbreak Of the war, has lost 745
vessels and 946 sailors through
the German butchers, and it may
be taken for granted that the re-
suit has been a legacy Of eternal
hate. Spain, Brazil, Uruguay,
every nation on earth, has suf-
fered at the hands of the Teuton
pirates, and the seamen of every
nation will make them pay the
bill.
At a large meeting held in
Copenhagen some weeks back,
whereat hundreds Of officers of
SAC 00uASA 1uCIGndUt mar INC
were present, it was agreed
unanimously that in view Of the
fact that the German nation had
approved Of the outrages COM
mitted by their U-boats against
neutral seamen all association
with it was impossible, and it was
decided that all intercourse with
German seamen must be broken
off for long time to come.
As far as this country is con-
cerned, the punishment of Ger
man seamen may safely be left
to British seamen. They know
exactly what the brutes have
done. They know that over 1000
British civilian men, women and
children have been foully MUIR
dered by the German subma-
rines, and they will act accord
ingly. For generations to come

no S O S will be heard when it
emanates from a German ship in
distress. For the next two to
three hundred years German sea-
men will be known as the shark
men of the sea, and something of
the treatment accorded to capt
ured sharks by fishermen in cer-
tain parts of the world will be
theirs whenever opportunity af-
fords.
In every foreign port Germans
will be marked men. Every
hand will be against them, and
they will never see the welcome
smile of a friend. In the drink

and showily, as is their custom,
but they will drink alone. No
friendly glass or pot will clink or
knock merrily against theirs.
In all the worlds great harbors
they will be known as butchers
and murderers men branded
through to their very souls with
the mark of Cain. And ON all
the seas and oceans their ships
will be known as Scheussliche

Unable ships!

innocent women and children and
brave men, even the cleansing
ozone of Gods great sea will not
wash it clean in twice ten thou
sand years. 1t will stink in the
nostrils of. all mankind for ever and
ever!
To a clean, honest sailor the
sea is like a mother. The British
Seamen's Union knows all about
the foul murders which have been
committed by German seamen,
and its members will see that the
full price is paid for these awful
crimes against humanity. Three
so-called peace delegates have been
trying to sneak away to America
for some time past, but so far
they have found it impossible to
embark. Why? Simply because
the British seamen say no. They
would refuse to work a vessel if
paci6sts and others of like type
were on board.
This shows the spirit, and if
further evidence were needed it
can be found in the recent ut
terances of J. Havelock Wilson,
who has stated in public that the
merchant marine masters, engi-
neers, sailors, fremen and deck
hands were fully resolved not to
carry pacifists across the ocean.
In addition to this the merchant
service, from the officers down to
the cabin boys, have pledged
themselves not to salute the Ger
man flag in any port abroad, and
they will refuse to salute it, or
even recognize it, on the high
seas.
The German papers, which un-
doubtedly reflect the German
New-York tribune., 1918-06-16

Y EFT there be no mistake about
the depth of the feeling
against Germany which ali
decent seamen entertain at this
moment. 1t is fercer than the
worst storm that ever blew and
as strong as the trade wind which
comes from the southeast.
There will be strange ships ON
the waves-vessels flying a flag
which has been hidden in canals
and backwaters, where dastardly
deeds are plotted for close on four
full years. They will outwardly look
like other ships. To all appear
ances they will be honest ships,
but to every seaman that was not
sucked by a German mother or
sired by one of the ravishers of
brave Belgium they will be known
as Scheussliche Schiffe, or hor-
rible, abominable ships! They
may fly the German flag in all its
Haunting f1ashiness, but it will al
ways be foul and bloody even in
the pure sunlight Of the tropics.
Against the deep blue sky Of
summer this flag will look like an
old boot on a sacred altar; the
very vault of heaven will be
stabbed with shame when it
swims iato the light of day. No
one will salute it; no CHEEKY mes
sage from CHEEKY heart will greet
it as it passes; no eye will be
turned upon it from the crows
nest without curse; twill pass
along the silent highways of the
world like the murderer Of a little
child seeking to hide from JUS
tice. Dirty, foul horrible and
abominable, red with the blood of

Doug DOES HIS OWN SHOOTING

In his latest Aircraft picture,
"The Man from Painted Post" at
the Liberty theatre, Douglas Fair
banks discloses many new cowboy
tricks learned from champions OF al
recent Rodeo. Meet, who appear with
him in the photoplay. The story ofl
Wyoming cattle rustlipg days pre-
sents the versatile Douglas in many
thrilling situations offering typical
Fairbanks surprises.
Among other things Douglas Is
called, upon to shoot two holes
through the bad man's'hat while
1t reposes peacefully upon the latter's
head, some hundred yards away.
When the usual subtituste was sug-
gested, Fairbanks refused to listen to
IL, thereby retaining his distinction OF
never taking a stunt before the
camera. Frank Campeau, the popular
Broadway actor who portrays the
outlaw character, being familiar with
Douglas ability as sharpshooter,
readily agreed to go through the bit,
but when the star leveled his guns
and fired two shots directly at the
actors head, even he had n sinking
feeling In his stomach. II know
Douglas Is a crack-shot, but even at
that. when | looked into the mouths
of those young cannons' II made me
bit uneasy" said Campeau later,
The scene was enacted exactly as per
scheduale. however, and Champeaus
hat on the ground before he realized
1t was all over.
"The days of trick photography are
decidedly over. with the exception OF
the slap-stick comedy" said Douglas
In speaking OF the incident, land
those scenes prove that you can
easily recognized a faxed bit by the
unnatural tempo OF the action.
Whenever a scene docs not look
natural, you can take IL for granted
