SUPPORTING THE PDESI-
DENT

The Office of the president of the
United States represents the dignity
and glory of Americas past, the re-
Sponsibilities of the present and the
hope of the future. Americas presi-
dent is at once king and premier. He
is the active ruler of a nation, yet
about his person cling all the tradi-
tions, national aspirations and patri-
otto sentiments that surround a mon
archial figurehead. In showing defer
ence, respect and loyalty to their pres
ident, then, Americans are simply ex-
pressing their renewed faith in the in
situations of their government, their
pride in the nations past and their
hopes for its future.
Plainly, therefore, partisan bitter
ness should never be allowed to mud
dy the Office Of the president. Healthy
political opposition to the party in
power is wholesome condition for the
nation; but when opposition takes
the form of personal abuse of the pres
ident, it ceases to perform a useful
function and moves into dangerous
ground.
When an opposition party deliber-
ately manufactures personal misrepre-
sentation of the president and invents
stories as the basis for abusive criti-
cism, it is undermining the pople's re-
spect for their government and its in
situations.
The exception only proves the rule
that presidents gather superhuman
strength to live up to their high Of
ute which the people render. Presi-
dents devote themselves to their duties
so intellectually that their health
soon becomes a matter of concern.
President Hoover is maintaining, and
even improving his physical condition,
but the worries of his office are turning
his gray hairs white.
A presidents personality should be,
and usually is, dwarfed by the magni-
tude of his office. Citizens do obei-
sance, not so much to the individual
as to the office This attitude on the
part of the public is matched by self
abnegation on the part of the presi-
dent Although he maintains his indi-
viduality, he loses his individualism.
He becomes a puppet in the hands of
fate.
In real and intimate sense he be-
comes a servant of the people, whose
time is never his own. Again and
again the president may retire to his
camp for a weekend of well-earned
relaxation only to plunge into a fresh
problem that requires his immediate
attention.
A nations choice pays heavy price
for being president. Nobody has bet
ter expressed this thought than Calvin
Coolidge in his post-presidential writ
ings. 1t is a painful process to tear up
by the roots all the ingrained thoughts
of self, and completely efface ones in
dividualism in sacrifices to the coun-
try's welfare. Is it asking too much
in return of the citizen to support the
man in the White House during his
incumbency-not, mind you, to agree
with him always, but to show him the
Difference due his office?

HE German terror OF the deep, COM
mander OF the famous submarine
U-35, so ferocious and daring in battle
that, despite the combined efforts Of
the allied forces, he sank 204 of their
ships, IS, nevertheless, a man so humane that
monkey abandoned on a rapidly sinking enemy
ship
That Is Capt Lothian Won Arnauld de Ia
Periere, the greatest of Uboat operators during
the World War and commander of the cruiser
Emden, whose sense of humor enabled him to
enjoy heartily the diplomatic breach" fiasco in
which he was involved recently at New Orleans.
The "internationar incident grew out of Gov
Huey P. Longs informal" reception of Capt
Won Arnauld, who called to pay an official visit.
The governor leaped out of bed clad in green
striped pajamas to greet the commanders party.
The governors informal attire brought de-
nand for a formal apology from the German
consul, Rolf Jaeger. The following day the
ludicrous, semi-serious affair was amicably set
tied after Gov Long, attired in borrowed for
NAL dress, steamed up to the Emden aboard
borrowed river boat and offered apologies for his
pajanas, which he thought "were pretty nice,
anyhow"
Later, Capt Won Arnauld, as he sat in COM
Portable armchair in his trophy-filled cabin on
the Emden, was in such a good humor after
discussing the incident that he was induced to
relate his war experiences. This man, who de-
fed death under the net mine and destroyer
infested European waters for two and half
years, recounted tale of high adventure that
some day will form a glamorous page in the
history of world heroes.
COMMISSIONED in 1906 as a Subleutenant,

which was sunk during the war. When the war
broke out he was aide-de-camp to Grand Ad-
miral Won Tirpitz. Unable to tolerate the in
active life at headquarters, he entered a SUBJ
marine school in 1915 to prepare "for some real
action" In 1916 he was given command of his
first ship the now famous U-35, and the real
action" started.
The U-35 sailed from her base at Pola, ON the
Adriatic Sea, and a few days later Capt Won
Arnauld encountered his first enemy ship,
which nearly turned out to be his last

surface at a safe distance from the big ship.
He Signaled for her to bring over her sailing
papers for Identification. Presently two small
boats were lowered from the ship, but they
would not come toward the submarine, so the
captain began to maneuver his underwater craft
around the ship.
"She looked perfectly innocent" he explained,
and he smiled at the recollection, "but had my
watch officer, who had more experience, to pass
his judgment on her. He said he was certain
that she was just Dutch steamship. But I
was still skeptical"
BY this time the two small boats. loaded with
men. had drifted 200 or 800 yards astern of
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-04-20

and the boatloads of men. The ship was risking
the lives Of her own men to get the sub.
Get below and dive!" Capt Won Arnauld
said he shouted. The matches banged down
and the U-35 began to plunge. The water was
tapping high up on the coming tower when sud-
denly the captain discovered that the watch
officer had failed to reach the hatch in time
and was struggling to hold on to the mast wire
as the boat sank lower.
The sub was ordered back to the surface and
while the Dutch" ship rained shells around
her the crew pulled the drenched and frightened
officer into the hatch. The U-35 disappeared
beneath the surface and Capt. Won Arnauld
had experienced the first of his thousand adj
ventures as q submarine commander.
1--WE tried to maneuver under the water to get
a shot at that Q-boat, but when we poked our
periscope out of the water about Is minutes
later she had gone," the captain explained.
A FTER this thrilling encounter, Capt. Won
Arnauld began his first cruise Of the Medi-
terranean Sea, which within three weeks raised
him to the rank Of one of the leading U-boat
commanders of the Germany Navy. On this
voyage the U-35 sank 81 allied ships, the great
est number sunk on a single cruise by any sub
marine. When she returned to her base at Pola

into frenzy Of delight and the new commander
and his crew were showered with honors.

believing that If the ship had concealed guns
she would not endanger the lives of her own
men by firing on the submarine.

destroyers around, we would give the crew
plenty of time to get their luggage of. After
sinking the ship with gunfire or by explosives
placed aboard. we would tow the crew near
shore and bid them farewell"
Records Of the allied nations show that
Capt Won Arnauld never sank an unarmed MR.
chant ship without giving warning and he often
risked his own life to help the crews of his
victim ships to reach land safely Among the
genial commanders many relics of the war
are letters from ship captains whom he took
to his base at Poa as prisoners of war. Each
expresses appreciation for the generous courtesy
with which they were treated while held on
the U-35. The crews were always released, as
the submarine was too small to carry them.
AS Capt. Arnauld recounted his ex-
periences playful spaniel pup romped around
the cabin on the Emden and the captain was
asked II he had had any pets on the U-35.
The question resulted in an unusual tale which
revealed the humane nature of the man who
during the war sent more than 500, 900 tons Of
dreds of human lives aboard.

under the surface before any of the cruiser
patrols arrived.
