A Call on DeliIah
Samson blew himself for a lot of
hcthouse foliage and approached
Delilah with all the ease and grace
of seasoned flirt.
The Philistines noted his fondness
for the girl and decided that moth
ing could be better.
'He is going to put his knob in
the moose this time like house
afire," they said. Patience, bre-
thren."
Delilah was the queen vampire of
the whole cast. She was the finest
chef in the trouble kitchen.
Delilah didn't have a chance to
lose. Soft boiled conversation was
her forte. She had Samson woozy
inside of five minutes, and in ten
minutes he was ready to give her
his motor car and unlimited credit
at the gas filling station.
Delilah strung Samson until he
looked like perch trailing through
the water back of a rowboat at the
end of a perfect fishing day.
He was mountain of muscle, and
she was a frail little thing, but
when she gazed into his eyes Sam
son lost his last vestige of judg-
ment and fell with a plash that
shook the whole river.
OF course, Delilah had been fixed
with a nice fat bride.
You are the strongest man in
the world, Samson" Delilah fiattered
him. you've got them all leary of
you. Tell me how you do it. Where
do you get that stuff"
Take the ferry for Hoboken," he
jollied.
Now, you are teasing mel" she
pouted. mix on the stalling! If
you love me, you'll come through"
Told His Secret
She had him roped and branded
at last.
IF my hair was cut" he said, "I
wouldn't be any stronger than any
other bald headed gent. I wouldn't t
have enough pep to punch railroad
ticket
Then Samson went to sleep and
Delilah took the scissors and re-
moved his Seven Sutherlands Sis
ters, which had been his pride and
joy.
The crowd rushed in and gave him
the once-over and tied him. The
terrible giant was in their power.
They made him prisoner and
put out his eyes with hot irons. I"
He could hear the laughing and
jeering of the mob that had once
fled before him.
With a sudden strength he groped
his way blindly to the pillars of the
temple, torn by despair and rage and
agony.
With a last desperate prayer on
his lips and a last desperate heave
of the temple in his hands, bent his
giant body until the sweat oozed
from every pore, and then a surge
of returning strength and power
swept through his veins.
The mighty temple above him
creaked and swayed-and fell in a
crash of ruin and death.
Samson's finish was as foolhardy
as his life had been.

SAMSON BROUGHT
RIGHT UP TODATE
A Leaf From Billy Sundays
Book of Bible Love
Stories

Billy Sunday has published book
of love stories. They aren't original
but almost 1.-The book" he eX-
plains in his Foreword, "is the de-
Velopment of a project to clothe
the outstanding characters and les
sons of the Bible in the language
and environment of to-day
Billy Sunday objects to the criti-
cism of people who don't want TO
see themselves as God sees them;
people who are looking for "a tall
cum powder, violet scented, ladylike
proposition" There are plenty OF
fellows, he argues, who will pass
out the gospel done up in tissue
paper and pink baby ribbons" But
the Bible, contends the Rev. Mr..
Sunday, lis mirror of life-not
the life of one period, but of all
periods" So he sets out the men
and women of the Bible from the
viewpoint of the men and women
of the Twentieth Century"
All the love stories he retells are
decidedly interesting. But perhaps
the two that stand out with the
greatest poignancy (punch, one
should rather say in this connection)
are the stories of Adam and Eve
and of Samson and Delilah.
Curtailed in the telling, the Sam
son and Delilah story runs as lol-
lows: ... .-.
Samson in a Panama
Samson was the first strong mar
to exhibit before large audiences
but he wasn't strong enough to eX-
hibit before himself in private.
He thought he was making a big
hit because he was making Dig
noise-and had Buffalo Bill hair.
He was just like a kid home from
college for the summer vacation,
when he breezed in on his dad one
day in his fathers office.
He was all dolled up with pur-
pie band around his new Panama
pushed down onto one ear over the
flowing locks, and he was wearing
purple socks, and a purple necktie,
and a silk handkerchief with n pur-
pie band falling out of his breast
pocket.
Also he flourished a dinky bamboo
walking stick, and altogether
thought he was the original Big
Noise.
His father was trying to answer
the telephone and dictate a letter
at the same time, for it was the
rush season in the cattle trading
market.
But a little thing like other peo-
pies business never bothered Sam
son.
He pushed his Panama a little
further over his ear, blew out a
cloud of cigarette smoke, thinking
that this made him look like a real
man of the world to the blond ste
nographer, and said:
1--WE come to tell you / want to
get spliced, governor. And it's up to
you to come across with the velvet
and arrange for the wedding BELLS.
She's the original sweet dream, and
l want to cop her before the alarm
clock goes off and wakes her up"
who is she?" asked his father,
hanging up the telephone, and tell
ing the stenographer to come back
after lunch.

LONDON, Apr. S.-The Germans launched a powerful attack on the British positions about eleven miles almost due South of Arras near Bucquoy but were subjected to such an intensive and destructive fire that their efforts all ended in dis sstrous defeat with severe losses. The British had recently brought up a large number of pieces of new artillery to replace that lost earlier in the battle and it was these new guns that practically pulverized the German assaults.
 Bucquoy is on the heights and is an admirable position for defense.
 In the South at Hangard wood which is about ten miles Southeast of Amiens the British followed the German assaults by powerful count CT attacks and on two uInerent uc- casions succeeded in capturing num-

LOOK LIKE GERMANY MAY
 FORCE SPAIN TO ENTER WAR

order to protect herself and in so doing she will also protect the in terests of the Central Empires.
 Spain has reached the crisis for her in the world war she must either boldly proclaim her rights as a neutral and be prepared to enter the world conflict in defense of those rights or she must bend the servile knee to the War Lord and strangle her pride-that proud Spanish trait for which the Spanish as a race have been famous for for cen turies-and soon be brought to realize that in backing down in this instance, in attempting to keep out of the world war, she has simply jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Within very short time the small countries of Europe and the rest of the world are going to be forced into the conflict whether they will it or not, so they may just as we'll prepare now to protect themselves as best they can when

WASHINGTON, D. C., Apr. s. Another situation, which in reality is nothing short of a crisis, in the great world war, has now appeared in the shape of another German threat against a neutral.
 Germany has just forwarded de- mand to the Spanish government which practically amounts to an ultimatum. She demands that the existing trade agreement with the United States be immediately abro- gated by Spain.
 Spanish shipping is at present be- ing used, to great extent and at a large profit to the owners and scamen, in the shipment of large quantities of supplies from the United States and other countries to Spanish ports for the American forces at the front. The German government has looked with dis favor on this increasing amount of valuable commerce, not so much that she envied Spain tho large
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-04-09

profits made, on the Yankee trade, but that she really regards the Spanish shipping and the trade agreement that makes that shipping possible, as giving much aid to the enemies of Germany.
 This agreement has been a thorn in the side of Germany for some time and she has at last resolved that since she has failed through peaceful means to make the Spanish shipowners and their gov ernment understand the German view of the situation she must, as a last extremity resort to force.
 Germany makes it very plain in her demands on Spain that unless Spain ceases at once to transport American supplies both by ship and by rail that Germany will immedi- ately institute ruthless submarine campaign against all Spanish ship ping. This method of arguing with Spain will, she believes, be ~effectual in forcing Spain to act at once in
The daily Nome industrial worker., 1918-04-09

that time comes.
 If, at this time, Spain is forced, to abrogate her trade agreement with America, it will not only be blow to Spain but also a blow to the United States and the Allies; as at this very time large quantities of much needed supplies for Per shings men are now in Spanish ports awaiting shipment across country by rail into France.
 Should these supplies be held up it may result in seriously handi- capping the effectiveness of the Am erican forces at the front.
 The Spanish Ambassador has held a long conference with Secretary Lansing but so far the results of the conference have not been made public.

for whether it Illuminated Ibsen or not it

Gilbert Z. Chesterton, locking ovsr

worse than a golden rule, fetter on the
