EXCEPT that the Hirano Maru carried fewer passen-
gers than the Lustana the sinking without warning
Of that Japanese passenger vessel differs but little from
the destruction Of the great Cunarder more than three
years ago In both deenseless civilians including
many and children we're murdered wantonly The
Hrano Maru went down in minutes in a rough sea
Save for the timely arrival Of American destroyer there
would have been absolutely survivors and the disaster
would have been an example Of sinking without trace a
method OF butchery approved by the German admiralty
and the kaiser, supreme over all Teuton sea lords
Here then is fresh evidence il any needed that the
Germany Of today is not different from the Germany Of
yesterday The creed OF frigh,ulness controls the
hostile operations Of the Hun by land and sea he is
baby killer still slayer of helpless civilians a monster
who soops the lowest depths OF savagery in hope Of
winning what he longer hope TO win by honorable
feats Of The Hun has not changed since those Au
gust days OF 1914 when his lustiu hosts were loosed on
peaceful Belgium to wreak such atrocities would have
shamed At,ia and his ancient marauders
Nor is the Hrano Maru exceptional example to be
excused by possible error The days news which
told Of the disaster to the japanese vessel related the sink

WOMAN'S PLACE,

The mossback who would oft proclaim
That woman's place is In the home.
And not In search OF passing fame
Where manly feet 10 often roam,
And not within the changing mart
Where masculinity prevails,
Should note how woman does her part
When war clouds ride adown the gales
Could he but get his second sight
He might reverse his point OF view,
And shake his aged Egyptian night,
And cease to sputtfr and TO stew
About the freedom woman takes,
And her new part In world affairs.
or how her action nearly makes
Him break his heart with wsishty
cares.
Now woman breaks the stubborn slebe,
And tends ths forge, and runs the mill;
The proud patricisn and the pisbe
Some useful occupation IN
That fighting men may be released
To put the kaiser on the skids,
And chase his legions I'LL they've ceased
To execute his warllks bids.
Now woman does q work In war
As well as In the peaceful walks,
And knows what we are fighting for
As well AZ orator who talks
Until he strains his silver tongue
To rouse the patriots TO cheers
With which the well-known welkins rting
or move his audience to tears
She sells the bonds and buys a bale
TO aid In putting loans across,
And her small change and other kale
And she hslps raise the Red Cross rocks
To purchase goods which her deft hands
shall shape 10 bandages and socks
And other needs Of warning banda
