THE STORY
(By Elliott j. Clawson.)

Wy a1h''oSo ~ Sio~ooh.I
Summer 1914-and the world was
at peace-love and friendship ruled
the glad business of every day. God
looked down from Heaven and was
pleased.
Gentle breezes famed the swaying
fields of grain; the world hummed
with the pleasing sound of bees and
birds and laughing girls.
Marcas, the blacksmith of Louvain,
was mighty man. This man, Mar
cas-, lived in faith and love and friend
ship, and, by the sweat of his brow,
had won peace and prosperity.
There was another man who lived
in palace in Berlin. He was twice
king, eighteen times a duke, twice
prince, nine times count-besides,
being bishop-William of Hohen-
zollern, King of Prussia, Emperor of
Germany.
The blacksmith of Louvain was a
better man than the Hohenzollern.
The blacksmith owned but two suits
of clothes, one for work and one for
the Sabbath. The Kaiser owned three
hundred and sixty-six.
August 1st., 1914, and William of
Hohenzollern spoke the word that set
the world afire; came the crash, tt
tanic, colossal-staggering.
JOY died, hope fled, desolation be-
came supreme.
Upon that day the world passed
into twilight.
The baneful autocracy of Prussia
had spoken. An autocracy of hate
which for decades had been deceiving
a great people, poisoning their minds,
preaching the virtue and necessity of
war; had applied the torch of Dew
astation.
By trick of circumstances the
veal of mankind was placed for
moment in the hand of an arrant ego
ist, tyrant, William of
Hohenzollern. The greatest crime in
all history was perpetrated that ONE
man might find for HIMSELF a place
in the sun.
Blinded by the Gods, there flashed
forth in the mind of this one man, a
madness, faulty, mania fatal,
malignant, satanic.
From beyond the dim horizon began
the tireless thudding of guns. The
rich fields, the peaceful farm, the
busy city became the barracks, the
arsenal and the hospital
In two years twenty-five million
men were killed, MANNED, or made
prisoners. Twenty-Five million fami-
lies mourned, but hunger and suffer
ing do not lend themselves to the pro-
'css of arithmetic-blasted homes and
stunted lives are not to be interrupted
by mathematics.
Then came the master crime. An
unoffending crime. An unoffendine
people was ground into extinction be-
meath an iron heel, nation was de-
stroyed, the crime against Belgium
completed to it's fullest; the Prussian
stalked onward with his twin COM
rades, Frightfulness and Horror. A
new blotch of inafmy-the Lusitania
was added to the Black name of
the Beast.
There was another man who lived
IN White House. The Chief and
Spokesman of Great Nation that be-
lieves all people were born Free and
Equal with right to Peace and Hap
piness.
Then came the end. The dark cur
fntt ,.l~
veloped the earth, cleared away, and,
when the echo of the last cannon had
died upon the air, the silver -throated
bells of all the world rang forth the
glad tidings-
"William of Hohenzollern Has
Fallen"-At the Grand May 7-8-9.

TROOPS AND MUNITIONS
WILL BE SAFEGUARDED

Recently he visited Atlantic Coast
defense districts. His inspection had
hardly been completed when the raid
ers arrived. Already it has been
shown, officials say, that precautions
taken to guard departing troops and
munition vessels have proved ade-
quate.
Efforts to furnish additional protec-
ton to coastwise shipping r now
being made. In some fleets
may be assembled to be passed along
under convoy from one district to the
next. Undoubtedly guns and gunners
will be furnished in many cases.
Every skipper who wants them will
be provided with weapons with which
to hit back.
Pratt, sunk off the Delaware Capes
but later raised and towed to port,
struck a mine left by the U-boats.
1t was pointed out that should it be
the purpose of the German admiralty
to attempt to blockade American
ports and send many submarines the
pressure abroad would be released
and ships from British position could
move with increased freedom. On
the other hand the great extent of
the American coast line, the connec-
tion between ports by means Of the
canals and sounds and many other
condition Will tend to make impos-
sible a successful blockading opera
ton.
These are some of the reasons that
officials to believe that it is
only a sea foray with which they
have to deal. 1t may be repeated.
1t is not possible to prevent its repe-
tition nor can enough additional boats
be turned out in some months to
make 1t possible.

WERE SIX MORE VESSELS
SUNK BY SUBMARINES

New York, June 5.-The American
auxiliary Schooner Samuel G.. Men
gel is another victim of submarine at
tack. She was sunk Sunday after
noon ITS miles off New York and
eleven men of her crew were brought
here today by a Spanish Steamship.
The Mengel, according to the crew
was on her way to New York with a
cargo from the West African coast.
The vessel was sunk by bombs after
the men had taken to the boats at
the command of the U-boat command
er. The Mengel's commander, Cap
tain H. T. Hanson, said the sinking
of his vessel occurred at $3.50 p. m,
and that he was told by the COM
mander of the submarine that the
U-boat had previously sunk three
schooners and three steamers, n of
which was a large passenger ship OF
about 5000 tons.
These sinkings Captain Hansen
said, had taken place the submarine
commander told him, on the day pre-
vious-Saturday. If THIS Is true, 1t
means the destruction of six vessels
not previously known to have been
sunk.
Story Doubted

story were inclined to doubt that the

MANY SUBMARINES
MAY BE OFF COAST
Naval officials are proceeding on
the theory that many submarines may
be off the coast or may be expected
to arrive, although they have nothing
to indicate that more than two have
been operating. When American de.
stroyers and other small craft were
sent abroad for work in the war zone,
it was fully realized that submarine
raids in American waters were entire.
ly possible and the entire coastal pa
troll service has been built up on that
assumption.
Viewed from a purely American
standpoint officials believed the dis
patch Of the swift naval craft to for
eign waters was u~nwarranted but
American troops could not be sent to
France with any degree of security
and the United States could not take
it's fair share of the burden of war un-
less they went. That was the consid-
Grafton that impelled the government
to cast prudence aside and to rush the
ships abroad.
Without question it was felt the
hOJ " tHO 5iLud1AOh ShS
neck of the bottle-was abroad where
ships must converge. That neck
must be kept open at any hazard and
the navy has kept it open. Not an
outward bound troop ship under
American convoy has been success
fully assailed.
Meanwhile it has been realized that
the length Of the American coast line
and the limited number of swift de-
stroyers that could be retained at
home made it possible for raiders to
strike at coastwise traffic or even at
the transports. Admiral Benson has
been watching this phase of naval
preparation and has felt that months
of drill and practice cruising without
a single attack might make the patrol
forces stale.

German masses no longer hurl themselves at the allies lines
along extended fronts. The momentum of the Teuton advance
of last week appears to have exhausted itself in striking the
yielding lines of the French and British which now have stiff
fened and are holding the foe except for insignificant gains
here and there, especially along the front running from the
neighborhood of Scissors to Chateau Thierry. The struggle
apparently is changing from a war of movement to a war of
position. Official reports show that the Germans are launch
