SAVED APlA FROM GERMANS
Interesting Now to Recall Commander
Leary's Defiance of Overbearlng
Teuton Captain.

Persons who have said the United
States had no case against Germany
prior to the sinking of the Lusitania
and events dating from 1914 perhaps
are unacquainted with the trouble over
the Samoan islands which occurred in
the eighties. Attempts by Prince Bis
marck, then German chancellor, to
dominate the islands, had been frus-
trated and German consul had been
withdrawn after he had caused crisis
by raising a German flag over Apia,
one Of the principal cities. Another
consul. Herr Becker, acting on his gov
ernment's instructions, again precipi-
tated trouble by deposing the Samoan
king and setting up ruler favorable
to German interest.
The climax came when the German
corvette Adler prepared to shell Apia,
the natives of which had become hos
tile to the Germans. Commander Rich
ard Leary of the United States gunboat
Adams had been in the vicinity Of the
islands expecting trouble. An account
of what happened is a tribute to the
courage of the American navy. 1t fol-
lows:
"At the appointed hour, the Adler
steamed out with the German ensign
flying at her peak. The Adams follow
ed closely at her heels. Soon the Adler
slowed down and swung into position,
so as to bring her broadside guns to
bear on the helpless village. The
Adams dashed in between the Adler
and the shore, where she, too, swung
about. her guns at port and pointed
directly at the Germans. Presently.
Commander Leary in full uniform and
accompanied by his staff, boarded the
Adler. His coIloquy with the German
captain was short and sharp: If you
fire. he said, you must fire through
the ship which I have the honor to
command. I shall not be anSwerable
for the consequences So saying, he
took his leave.
Captain Fritze could scarcely be-
lieve his ears. Such audacity had new
er yet confronted him. He knew that
the first shot would be answered by an
American brGadside, and this would be
the signal for a war between his coun-
try and the American republic. He
faltered, and then. his heart swelling
with humiliation, he steamed suddenly
away."-Detroit News.

Music as Health Aid.

Doctor Saleeby, the British eugenics
advocate, suggests that the new min
istry Of health should have a special
department TO deal with recreation.
The department should take London
choirs and choral societies singing. In
which all could engage. In his view
this department would keep the young
persons off the-streets and out Of the
saloons.
A scheme for confederation OF
London choirs and choral societies

ings instead Of the senseless maffick-
ing that was in evidence on armistice

How U.Boats Were Trapped.

One of the novel devices adopted by
the British for the coordination of the
efforts of trawlers and submarines has
Just been divulged. A trawler would
drag q submarine by cable and main
tain communication with it by tele-
nhone. When the trawler sighted a
German U-boat the British submarine
would slip It's cable and attack the
German boat before the surprised Ger
mans could submerge or prepare to
give fight.

There are now in this district 800
or 400 of ex-service men whom while
in the service carried insurance in
the amount of $4,000, or less. That
through thoughtlessness or ignorance
of their rights large part of this in

would be a calamity, not only to the
ex-service men themselves, but to the
community in which they live. Peo-

EPISCOPALIAN
DRIVE SUNDAY
Members To Be Canvass
ed By Workers During
Afternoon

With the end of the intensive week
which began last Sunday, and after
weeks ana months of preparation on
the educational and spiritual side of
the nationwide campaign, members
OF the Episcopal church should be
ready to offer their personal service
and material means in pledges to be
made in the every-member canvass
Sunday afternoon throughout the
United States, church leaders an
nonnce. Contributions both of serv-
ice and money are to be made to the
general church as well as to the sup
port of each individual parish and
mission. The general church hopes
to raise $42,000,000, but this has not
been set as the high water mark that
must be attained as the principal OBJ
Ject OF the campaign. A survey of
the church has been made which
shows that this sum is needed to car
ry on the work of the church's mis-
sion at home and abroad, both for
current and for progressive work. and
three-fourths of this amount are to he
appropriated to propagate the
church's mission at home. The church
has prepared program that involves
a definite sum, and the results depend
upon the response that is vet to be
made by every individual member of
the church.
The program for work in the do
mestic field includes Christian Amer
lcanlzation; enlargement of the pres
ent work for the negro; a definite
program for rural communities in
volvlng competent leadership, build
lngs adapted to community uses and
social centers for farmers and viii
layers; strengthening of work in
church schools and colleges; appro
priations for the general board of re-
liglous education and the joint COM
mission on social service; and extern
sion of pressing needs in the foreign
field. Members of the church have
been assured by the campaign direc-
tors that nothing visionary, nothing
trivial and nothing unnecessary will
pass the scrunity of the nationwide
commission. Nothing is provided for
identifying buildings, for the COM
fort of worshippers, for paying debts
nor for endowments.
When the final returns from the
every-member canvass have been
made to the presiding bishop and
council, the first appropriation will
be made for the expense of the cam
paign. Following this will come the
current budget for the department of
missions After this the appropria-
tions will be for the department of
religious education and for Christian
social service and for strengthening
existing enterprises. Last will come
the new enterprises asked for in the
survey of each diocese.
$33,572 Georgia's Quota.
The general church has asked of
the Diocese of Georgia the sum of
