SOLDIERS CHEERED
BY BOARD OF TRADE
"Give Boys Planes and Lick
Germans in 30 Days." Says
Sergt. Heffernan.
DEADLIEST GAS PROMISED

The presence Of three of Gen. Perish
;ng's fighting men, who told from their
own experiences what the American Red
Cross is doing for the soldiers in France,
stirred the 600 members of the Board of
Trade who went to Chesapeake Beach
N their annual outing and sllad bake
yesterday.
Cheer after cheer went up from the
business men assembled in the board
walk pavilion as Sergt John J. Hef-
sernan. commanding the Pershing men.

older what he thinks of the thousands
of younger Americans he has fought
with in the trenches.

No Doubt as to Causes Of War.

Documents which have Just come
to light" say sponsors for Thursday
nights meeting. "leave no doubt as
to the real causes of the war or on
whom the responsibility rests of ini-
tiating the war long contemplated by
Austria and Germany, and also as to
the complete and absolute loyalty of
Italy. which positively refused to
support Germany in her imperialistic
conquests. Italy without hesitating
denounced an alliance which has been
formed for defensive objects and not
q criminal end.
"The act Of Austria which led to the
war was a manifest and fragrant vio-
lation of the alliance. as the treaty
Of triple alliance was practically
broken by Austria on July 25, 1914,
when she sent the aggressive note to
Serbia. "
Italy. with new national spirit. may
become a very important aid to the
allies and to common victory in the
hour of greatest need. Her entry into
the war re-established that equilib-
rum that menaced to break with the
Russian crisis. Gratitude will be
shown for this work and the work of
the Italians in Albania, Salonika and
Syria"

Give All You Can Spare.

And when you give, give abso-
lutely all that you can spare, and
don't consider yourself liberal in
the giving. If you give with self
adulation, you are not giving at
all. you are giving to your own
vanity, but if you give until it
hurts. then your heart blood goes
into it.
And think what we have here!
We call it the American Red Cross.
but 1t is merely branch of
great international organization,
which is not only recognized by
the statutes of each of the civil
ized governments of the world, but
it Is recognized by international
agreement and treaty as the rec
ognized and accepted instrument
tality of mercy and succor. And
one of the deepest stains that rests
upon the reputation of the German
army is that they have not re-
spected the Red Cross.
THAT goes to the root of the
matter. They have not respected
the instrumentality they them
selves participated in setting up
touch, because it was the express
sion of common humanity. We are
members, by being members of the
American Red Cross, of a great
fraternity and comradeship which
extends all over the world, and this
cross which these ladies bore to-
day is an emblem of Christianity
itself.
TT fills my Imagination, ladies
and gentlemen, to think Of the
women all over this country who
are busy tonight and are busy
every night and every day doing
the work OF the Red Cross. busy
with a great eagerness to find out
the most serviceable thing to do,
busy with a forgetfulness of ali
the old frivolities of their social
duties of the household in order
that they may contribute to this
common work that all their hearts
are engaged in, and in doing which
their hearts become acquainted
with each other.
Drawn Into One Great Family.
when you think Of this, you
realize how the people of the
United states are being drawn to-
gether into great intimate family
whose heart is being used for the
service Of the soldiers not only, but
for the service Of civilians. where
they suffer and are lost in a maze
of distresses and distractions.
"And you have, then, this noble
picture of justice and mercy as the
two servants of liberty. For only
where men are free do they think
the thoughts Of comradeship; only
where they are free do they think
the thoughts. of sympathy; only
where they are free are they mutu-
ally helpful; only where they are
free do they realize their depend
ence upon one another and their
comradeship in a common interest
and common necessity.
Il heard a story told the other
day that was ridiculous, but It IL
worth repeating. because 1t con-
tains the germ Of truth. An Indian
was enlisted in the Army. He re-
turned to the reservation on a
furlough. He was asked what he
thought of 1t. He said: No much
good: too much salute; not much
shoot Then he was asked: Are
you. going back? Yes Well, do
you know what you are fighting
for? Yes. me know; fight to make
whole damn world democratic
party
Summons the Nation.
"He had evidently misunderstood
some innocent sentence of my own.
But after all. although there is no
party purpose In 1t, he got 1t right
as far as the word party; to make

has come. and duty finds mans
soul as no kind of work can ever
find it.
May I say this? The duty that
faces US all now is to serve one
another. and no man can afford to
make a fortune out of this war.
There are men amongst us who
saw 1t. Some of you are old
enough-I am old enough-to re-
member men who made fortunes
out of the civil war, and you know
how they were regarded by their
fellow citizens. That was q war
to save one country-this Is war
to save the world.
"And your relation to the Red
Cross Is one of the relations which
will relieve you of the stigma. You
can't give anything to the govern
ment of the United States; 1t won't
accept it, There is a law of Con-
gress against accepting even serv-
ices without pay. The only thing that
the government will accept Is loan,
and duties performed: but it is a
great deal better to give than to lend
or to pay, and your great channel for
giving is the American Red Cross.
Some Cavil at Interest Rate.
Down in your hearts you can't
take very much satisfaction. in the
last analysis. in lending money to
the government of the United
States, because the interest which
you draw will burn your pockets:
1t is a commercial transaction, and
some men have even dared to cavil
at the rate of interest. not know
ing the incidental commentary that
constitutes upon their attitude.
But when you give. som ething
of your heart. something of your
SOUL, something of yourself goes
with the gift. particularly when it
is given in such form that it never
can come back by way Of direct
benefit to yourself. You know there
is the old cynical definition of
gratitude. as the lively expecta-
tion of favors to come
well there is no expectation Of
favors to come in this kind of CIV
ing. These things are bestowed in
order that the world may be fit
ter place to live in. that men may
be succored. that homes may be re-
stored; that suffering may be re-
lieved; that the face of the earth
may have the blight Of destruction
taken away from it. and that
wherever force goes, there shall go
mercy and helpfulness.

ORIGIN OF THE WORD "FLUKEr

Made by = Whale Harpoonsr
In the South Sea.

Not one person In a hundred who
uses the word 'fiuke' knows the origin
of the word" remarked an Alaska eI-
plorer and world traveller. II learned
down In the South sea several years
ago whnt 1t meant 1 shipped on q
whaling vessel as surgeon and super
numerary, and 1t was on that voyage
I first knew what was meant by miss
Ing by fiuke.' Incidentally the voy-
age of whaling vessel Ii some ex-
citing venture. 1 don't remember ex-
actly how many men lost their lives
In that one trip. but I recall vividly
that the first lot made up an entire
boatload.
"The whale had been harpooned and
It looked good chance to land him.
when one of the men made a mistake
and hit the whales tail. The big sea
monster gave one whirl of his big ap-
pendage and swept the whole boat
load of eight men under the water. The
mistake had been made OF making q
fiuBt-that Is. Of hitting the whales
ta:i. 1t is purely whaling term
miss 1t by fiuke.' You see, the
tail of n whale works directly oppo-
site to that of other fish. Instead
of wiggllng 1t laterally. the whale
swims by Moving 1t IN sad down.

Baker and Parsons exchanged COM

Fason. So far from showing an air
of resignation, he became greatly in
terested in her bright talk, and re-
sponded with spirit. Their animated
conversation soon attracted the side
glances and silent comment y; the
others; but music broke up the
groups, and Fason later on becoming
engrossed with his hostess. Miss Mar

The next morning Serene began ask

that he was friend of George Par

Miss Blake YVES disengaged, and Mar
jorie prolonged the engagement as
long as she decently could. At her en-
trance, Miss Mayhem discreetly with

words, begged her to stay.

was present, to her surprise and dis
appointment, Fason scarcely noticed
her. and was entirely devoted to Mar

"on one occasion. Just after We had
left the Ladrone islands and were in
the South sea, we encountered a huge
school of whales. We worked In and
out of this mass of big fish, and spear
ing a COW, managed to land her, but
not without first having two men lose
their heads. Someone had 'riuked' a
big bull whale and he had switched
