nun, which had an encounter Off the
Virginia Capes that evening with Ger

how the fake wireless messages orig

some Of the crew feel the U-bOat was
trying TO lure unarned Americans to
the rescue OF the supposed sinking

The Keemun crew told Of a running
fight Of more than one hour with the
U-bOat. but said that the Hun appar-
emily had no desire TO come to close
quarters and at no time was within a
distance OF 1000 yards. The submarines

The Kaiser OF the Huns wants a
title.

many TO call him:
wilhelm der Crosse

is "William the Great"
Old Bill Hohenzollern wants his name
TO roll down the ages to come annexed
to a label which would rank him the
peer OF really great and illustrious
rulers. Newspapers in Germany are
Ow adding der Crosse" TO Bills
anne whenever they make mention OF
aim. That Is, those papers who have
little regard for the truth and can be
persuaded by the military autoc-
racy.
But Bill isn't satisfied with that. lie
wants history to put the stamp Of
greatness upon him for all time. He
wants the people OF neutral countries
now to begin thinking OF him as will

has been started in European neutrals.
Bill is embitious. besides bens

can wade through an ocean OF blood OF
innocent men, women and children TO
the title OF Crosse" And he wants to

State OVER TOP"
IN nurse CAMPAIGN
81 Women Answer Coun-
try's Call and Thereby Fill
Delaware's Quota
CITY AMBULANCE
ACTIVE AT FRONT

Delaware has again gone over the top,
This time Il is in the campaign 10
lurses for the army and navy in the ser
rice Of the Red Cross. At the closing
luncheon of the ten-day campaign hell
IL the Hotel dupont this afternoon, re-
ports from the workers showed that
more than 81 trained nurses, the number
,pnortioned the state i'm the national
campaign TO raise 20,OOO nlirses, hah
been enrolled. This Is In addition To
many others who have volunteered to
study nursing and the married nurses
who are only available for Home De
fense work.
The luncheon was a congratulat0ry
function. Father Jacquier, who has seen
several years service at the front, anc
who is home now because Of wounds re-
celvcd. was the chief speaker. Father
Jacquier told OF what wonderful things
the Red Cross nurses are doing IN
France. How they have established rec
ords for many things ahead even OF the
best nurses Of continental Europe.
Mrs. William G. Speakman, whose nus
band .is an officer in France, read eN-
cerpts from newspapers showing whal
the American Red Cross Is doing In tu-
rope. But the most pertinent fact Mrs.
Speakman had 10 speak about was the
work being done with the Red Cross
dental ambulance being used In France
that was the gift Of Wilmington peo-
pie.
Dr Speakman read in the Paris cdi-
tion OF the New York Herald In May
that an ambulance used for dental wo-k
had cared for 456 men during the month
of April. The ambulance moved from
place 20 place back Of the front line
treating the teeth OF soldiers wounded
In battle and those whose teeih nau
developed trouble since enlisting. DIT.
Speakmsn wrote TO the French authori-
ties asking about the ambulance.
The reply he received was most in
spring Il stated that Il was the only
American dental ambulance serving al
The front and that through II hundreds
and thousands Of soldiers were beng
helped.
Mrs. Joseph Bancroft, chairman OF
the Nursing Campaign Committee, pre-
sided at the luncheon General orders
that have come from Washington rela-
tive 10 the nursing service were read
by her TO the committee. One OF these
oricE directed that from i've to ten
mugs should be assigned for CIVILIAN
rel work, so that there would al
va, he a certain number available fOr
thOt work.
Another order referred TO the service
OF married nurses. These nurses may
be used in industrial plants where
publio health stations have been estaD-
iished by the government This char-
scter OF service is not confined to mar
ried nurses, but also 20 those who may
be disqualified for active service abroad.
An important order effects nurses noi
registered by States. Nurses for enlist
ment with the Red Cross do not need
10 be REGISTERED in the State. but viii
be accepted for service without such
registration. It Is stated that there are
i3,5OO trained nurses throughout the
country who are not registered in any
state and from the list Il Is hoped to
recruit many nurses They can be
used in civilian hospitals, training
schools and public health organizations

The power Of the press largely was
responsible for the splendid showing
made by the Southwestern division Of

OF the splendid publicity campaign di'
reoted by Louis LaBeaume Of st.
Louis and the businesslike organiza-
ton effected by John L. Johnston and
George w. Simmons, chairman Of the
campaign and Southwestern manager
of the Red Cross. respectively. this
district got nearly three times its
quota Of members. leading all the 9TH
sr ~ divisions Of the Red Cross in the
United States.
Mr.. LaBeaume very properly gives
proper credit to this newspaper and
other newspapers OF the Southwest for
the splendid results obtained In the
campaign.
In these times, when self-abnega-
ton is absolutely necessary In every
walk Of life. It is a pleasure to record
that the newspapers Of the Southwest
are doing their share TO help win the

Know Thyself."

We are living in an age of en-
lightenment. The ways of the
world have changed and people
no longer manage their business
as they formerly did. Manners
and customs are now moving at
a velocity never before thought
of. The world is in a rush, yet
it is engaged in the horrors of
war. Education is in a stage of
advancement but there is a fault
IN the way we sometimes apply
1t. Education is absolutely es
sential in modern life, we could
not do without it.
But, besides knowing about
the material and spiritual affairs,
we should also know ourselves"
We may look at another person
and, in him, see all, and maybe
more, of his faults and weak.
nesses without once giving him
credit for any good traits he may
possess. There may exist an ill
feeling between you and him.
This will naturally cause an in
clination to scorn. We never
consider ourselves and deter.
mine our faults and correct them.
When people allow themselves to
look upon their brethren in this
light, never considering their
own weakness, they are weaker
than the one they are condemn.
ing. Do you know yourself?
1t is expedient that we know
ourselves and not look for sinis.
ter traits in some one else. If
you cannot give a good recon.
mendation of your neighbor. re.
frain from giving any at all.
Search down into your own
minds, determine your faults and
correct them by practicihg your
corrections. Then if you see a
fault in a friend it is nothing
to tell him about it. But,
be sure that you tell him in way
that he will appreciate it and /
will not become angry at you for
doing so.
