The Reds have won the first game and

The first game showed that the Reds

It here for the Liberty Loan drive.
though I feel that such stimulants are
not needed to insure the success of the
campaign"
Lieut.. Aston was in Germany after
the signing of the armistice. He said
there Is no foundation for reports that
the German people are In position to
renew the war II the peace terms rouse
the national feeling to the fighting point
The Germans have had all they want
Of war" he said. II had an opportunity
10 see good zeal or the German people.
They were not emaciated and there was
no conspicuous lack of food. But they
are sick OF war. That was plain to the
most casual observer. On top Of this
their navy is completely gone and they
haven't the tools to fight with IL they
wished to-"
Lieut.. Aston praised the spirit of the
navy. The men with whom che made
his last voyage. for he IL TO return to
private life. were ready enough to praise
him.
He Ia real sailor" said one of the

ITO you, men of Europe and America in
whose nobility still believe to-day as l be-
lieved yesterday, am | directing my appeal!
As a wireless operator on sinking YES
sci in the thick blackness of the night sends
out his last appeal, Help, quick, we are
sinking, save US! so ], moved by my faith
in the goodness of man, am sending out into
distance and darkness my prayer for my
people who are sinking.
If you only knew how dark is the night
around us, if my words could only convey
its density and depth! Whom am | call
ing? know not. Does the wireless oper-
ator know who may intercept his call? For
thousands OF miles around the ocean may be
deserted and not living soul may overhear
his appeal.
The night is dark. The sea is frghtful
But the operator has not lost faith and
he calls persistently, to the very last minute,
until the last light is gone and his apparatus
is silenced forever.
What does he trust in? He trusts in
humanity, and so do l. He trusts in the
law of human love and life. 1t is impossible
that one human being will deny help to
another in his hour OF perdition. 1t is i'm
possible that one human being will abandon
another to perish without attempting to
help. 1t is impossible that such an appeal
for help will not receive any response"
