We are called to war. This war has

This government for the prosecution

The things that are Caesars pertain

moral obligations imposed on every
man be no sinner or Christian. The
Christian is no more exempt from the
lawful requirements Of his government
because he is q Christian. than is the
sinner exempt from moral obligations
because be is sinner. Both are un-
Ger the law of government and when
a special requirement under that law
is not orly righteous, but necessary
for the perpetuation OF that lawful gov
ernment, both the sinner and the
Christian are doubly bound, not only
by requirement. but by the obligations

RICHMOND P. HOBSON

and he was known as a naval construe-
tor. He was with Admiral Sampson
when Admiral Cervera and the Spanish
fleet was blockaded within the Santiago
harbor.
This harbor is pretty much on the
plan of o bottle with the neck for its
entrance and it was across this entrance
that it was proposed to sink a ship to
prevent the Spanish vessels from COM
ing out.
Admiral Sampson called a conference
on the battle ship New York late in
May Of 1898 where the blocking Of the
entrance was discussed. Later the adj
miral sent for Lieutenant Hobson who
also had become greatly interested in
the idea.
Story Of The Attack.
The collier Merrimac, a coal ship,
heavily loaded was taken to the en-
trance of the harbor under its own
steam early in the morning of Juae 2,
1898, in command of Lieutenant Hob
son with seven men. As it was about
to enter the harbor it was recalled by
Admiral Sampson. However on the fol.
lowing night, June 3, Lieutenant Hob
son and his men before daylight, steam
cd into the harbor and was within 400
yards of Moro castle before being dis
covered by a Spanish patrol boat.
1t was, Hobson' S intentions to sink
the Merrimac directly across the 32C
foot ehann@l, but the patrol boat hac
shot away the steering gear Of the Mer
rimac and the gear of the stern anchor
80 that it could not be placed directly
across the entrance.
The ten torpedoes on the MerrimaC
were then ordered exploded when i
was found that the collier could not b.
placed as desired. Only two of the tor
pedcas exploded. AS the boat sunk, Hob
son and his seven men chung to TIN
ship raft, now directly under fire from
the guns in Castle Moro.
Toward daylight, Admiral Cerveri
with his party drew near the Merri
mae, and Hobson called out that h,
would like to surrender to an officer
They were taken on board and wei
treated and later imprisoned until il
july Of that year when they were ex
changed.
As a reward, Lieutenant Hobson wa
raised ten grades in the naval servic
with the rank of captain. After beinI
permitted to tour the country as TIL
famous captain and hero Of the Merrl
mae, at the age of 30 years, the nav.
department sent him to Hongkong to re
pair ships.
About this time he had trouble wit
his eyes and was returned home. 1

TWO AvIAToRs DIE.
BY Frank J. Taylor

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
With the American Army in Lorraine,
May 14.-(Night).-I saw two Ameri-
can aviators die, in a quick and terrible
tragedy northwest Of Toul this after
noon. Their plane became u~ncontrol-
able and crashed to earth. The cause is
not known.
First, l noticed three American OBJ
servation planes skirting under some
low clouds over our lines at an altitude
of probably 5000 feet. Suddenly the
three darted into a cloud.
Then 1 observed one of the machines
plunging straight downward, with the
motor going at full power. I expected
it ~momentarily to flatten out but the
plane kept plunging, the motor roaring
louder and louder. The plane struck
with an echoing crash in a field about
200 yards from q village just behind the
American lines.
An ambulance patrol went out and
returning reported that the nose of the
plane had torn a huge hole in the eartl
the engine completely crushing the pilot
and observer. The plane was battered
to bits. ~
Quietly and bravely, a detail party
went out in full view of the German
artillery to perform the solemn duty o.
gathering up the bodies for burial.

GIRLS! HAVE WAvY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
SAVE YOUR HAIR! DOUBLE IT'S
BEAUTY IN A FEW Mo-
NII1NTS-TRY THIS!

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life: has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it im-
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
This Obstructive scruf robs the hair of
its lustre, its strength and its very life
and if not overcome it produces a
feverishness and itching of the scalp;
the hair roots famish, loosen and die
then the hair falls out fast
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry. scraggy or too
oily get a small bottle of Knowlton's s
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter for few cents; apply a little
as directed and ten minutes after you
will say this was the best investment
you ever made.
We sincerely Believe, regardless of
everything else advertised. that if you
desire soft. lustrOus beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruff-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine.
If eventually-why not now?
