SAVED APIA. FROM GERMANS
Interesting Now to Recall Commander

Teuton Captain.

Persons who have said the United
States had no case against Germany
prior to the sinking of the Lusltania
and events dating from 1914 perhaps
are unacquainted with the trouble over
the Samoan islands which occurred ia
the eighties. Attempts by Prince Bis
marck, then German chancellor. to
dominate the islands. had been frus-
trated and a German consul had been
Withdrawn after he had caused a crisis
py raising a German dag over Apia,
one OF the principal cities. Another
consul, Herr Becker, acting on his gov:
ernment's instructions. again precipl-
fated trouble by deposing the Samoan
King and setting up a ruler favorable
TO German interest.
The climax came when the German
corvette Adler prepared to shell Apia,

islands expecting trouble. An account
Of what happened is tribute to the
courage Of the American navy. It fol.

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
anu 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 colioquy with the German
captain was short and sharp: IL you

the ship which I have the honor to
command. l shall not be answerable
for the consequences So saying. he
took his leave.
Captain Fritze could scarcely be.

DR.. Crane Saws

Thrift is simply the application of
Intelligence to expenditure.
1t does not mean only saving. 1t
does hot connote skimping and penny
pinching. niggardliness and miserl;-
ness. That is often the most foolish
kind of waste, waste Of health, OF
sepirits and OF the poy Of life.
Thrift means intelligent spending.
To spend a dollar now may save
two dollars next month.
Thrift ituplies a budget. II you
have no wise plan. it makes little dit
ference how. much you make What
IS the use of forging ahead when you
don't know your destination?
Some busy money makers might
sing with Mr.. Dooley, We don't know
where we're going, but we're On our
way
Thrift implies foresight. 1t means
We can see tomorrow as we'll as to-
day.
1t is the opposite Of childishness.
The child can grasp only what is be

tare. He wants what ne wants when
he wants it," II he, had no older
heads to think for him he would. like

The savage eats when he finds
meat. He sorges and sleeps, and be
tween times starves The civilized
man lays up. In abundance he pre-
paTes against famine. He builds
barns and warehouses.
Thrift implies self control. We are
masters OF self. not slaves of sell.

The department. should take London

this department would keep the young
