THE DECLINE AND FALL
OF THE GERMAN EMPIRE

We are witnessing the greatest, the
swiftest, the most dramitic tragedy
the world has ever beheld. When
one thinks of all the great things that
Germany has accomplished for the
world, it's contributions to art, mu-
sic, literature and science, when one
thinks of what Germany might have
done for the world, but for her false
leaders, one feels like echoing Capt
Philip at Santiago: Don't cheer,
boys. the poor devils are dying" I'm

spects, the greatest nation of our
times. May it be the last of the

guish and travail may there arise in
the future, without foreign inter
ference, a new, and honest, and a
glorious democratic State to help

FIRST SKIPPER TO
FIRE L. s. GUN DIES

New York, Jan Capt. Emery
Rice, who commanded the Mongolia,
the first American steamship to sink
a German submarine, and who made
forty-one voyages across the Atlantic
during the war, died to-day at the
New York navy yard hospital of pneu-
monia following influenza. He was
ill only a week.
1t was on April 1897, a few
days after the United States entered
the war, that the Mongolia fired the
first gun for America. Naval gun
ners, who sighted in British waters
a submarine about to attack the great
steamship. shattered her periscope
and sank her. Delighted with this
clean hit at 1000 yards, they named
their gun Theodore Roosevelt"

ALLIES ACCOUNT FOR
DOB GERMAN U-BOATS

London, Jan. 4.-The Allies de-
stroyed or captured 2O2 German sub
marines during the war. In addition
o these, fourteen German submarines
were destroyed by the Germans them
selves, 10 in the Adriatic and four off
Flanders. Seven others were intern
ed in neutral countries.
The surrender of German subma-
ines is not yet completed. The num-
Der already brought into British ports
is 1872. There are at least fifty-eight
still to be surrendered. The Germans
still are busily engaged in building
submarines and to this the Allies are
making no objection for they will be
at the disposal of the Allies when
completed.
German surface warships actually
brought into British ports were less
by one battleship than stipulated in
the armistice terms. The reason for
this is that neither the Saxon nor the
Mackensen has been completed by the
German yards. The German battle
ship Baden is to be handed over in
stead. She will leave German waters
for Scapa Flow within a week.

WONDERFUL AND LIT
TIE KNOWN ISLAND

White Island thirty miles distant
from New Zealand, is probably the
most extraordinary island in the
world. 1t consists of an enormous
mass of rock nearly three miles in
circumference, rising 900 feet above
the sea, and is perpetually enveloped
in dark clouds which are visible for
almost 100 miles.
The island is rich in sulphur, which
for some reason has not yet been
adequately utilized. In the interior
is lake full fifty acres in extent, the
water of which has temperature of
ITO degrees Fahrenheit, and it is
strongly impregnated with acids
Great quantities of steam escaping
from craters on one side of the lake,
form the cloud that continually en-
velopes the place.

that following the signing of the ar
mistice so many people in Europe,
whose activities had previously been
closely associated with the prOsecu-
ton of hostilities were released for
other services.
This situation has resulted in a
considerable number of people reach
ing the ports of embarkation after
having made all their plans for Eu-
ropean service. Many who had
planned to go had said goodbye to
barrassed when their sailings were
cancelled.
The officers of the Red Cross have
been greatly distressed at the necessi-
ty of disappointing so many who had.
with fine spirit and loyalty, made
plans and sacrifices, to go to Europe
in Red Cross service. 1t is felt, how
ever. that full understanding of the
circumstances will make every one
appreciate the unwisdom of sending
abroad anyone whose services are not
needed. This is especially true be-
cause of the extreme difficulty of ar
ranging for return passage for those
who go from now on. To send addi-
tional personnel under such condi-
lions would be fair neither to them

GERMAN PREMIUM
ON WOMAN'S SHAME

With the American Army of Occu-
patton, Coblenz, Jan. 4.-There used
to be n story going the rounds of the
American press to the effect that
during the war the German authori-
ties were openly countenancing and
encouraging illegitimacy.
We always rather doubted that
yarn, but because of statement made
by one of the most intensely German
women we have ever encountered we
are compelled to believe that there
was considerable truth in it. She is
about the last person who would
make such a statement unless 1t were
true. She Is a woman who is still
thoroughly loyal to he country. She
attempts to justify every act of her
people in the war. However. she is
a frank critic of many things the gov
eminent did.

child during the war she received 100

However. all the clergymen
preached real marriages and the pro-
pagation of children. Any time a
woman went to church she was cross
examined as to her status and the
number of children she had. If she
was married and had no children she
was rather chided. If she was single
but of manageable age she was also
rather rebuked for not marrying and
having a family.

the war she got pension of about

she got 1000 marks in lump sum,
