The civilian part of us is seriously engaged in conservation, isn’t it? Th people as a whole are sacrificing and| suffering for war's sake, aren't they?/ Nothing like hellish war to put the) pinch on, is there? We're getting! down to the bare necessaries, aren’t! we? The past fiscal year’s revenue re-; ports show an unprecedented con-| sumption, by us, of whiskey, cigars, | cigaretes and other forms of tobacco. | Read these official reports on produc- tion on which taxes were paid: Distilled spirits, 26 million gallons, The total was 164% million gallons, | or about 14% gallons for every man, | woman and child. a | Cigars, one billion more than last year, or about 9) per capita.

Pands blared patriotic music that stirred the fires of patriotism in the breasts of old and young. The presi- dent led the parade and behind him were Cannon and Clark and senators and congressmen, veterans of the Civil war, veterans of the Spanish war and government officials of almost every degree. Mothers, fathers, wives, sis- ters, sweethearts lined the st) some in tears, some with brave smiles. Thousands of clean, brave, strong lads were off for camp, to prepare} to do or die in war. Over all floated the blood-sanctified colors of Old} Glory! Oh! it was a glorious sight in ‘Pennsylvania avenue that bright) morning of Sept. 4, a8 our boys con- scripted for war marched away. 1 —————— The kaiser might eat his Thank giving turkey in Riga, being that Pari isn't Inviting him. = sig BE ON THE WATCH. {i In his reply to the pope President | Wilson has pointed out a way by! which the German people can secure| peace. He has sald the word of the German rulers would not be enough It would have to be endorsed by the German people. Of course, this is an invitation for the Germans to make their government a_ constitutional; monarchy or a republic or whatever| form suits them, just so the people themselves do the ruling. The United} States and the allies do not wish to do business with an autocracy which makes war or paace according to fits own sweet will, and drives the plain people to pay the price in blood and) gold. Spurred on by their desire for an armistice of five or ten years to pre- pare for the next war, there is every indication the Hohenzollerns will soon stage a false change in German gov-| ernmental methods, to befool the allies. Listen to the New York Staatszel- tung chirping: “The German nation long since discovered an earnest in- tention of setting its political house in order, a; determination to make its) cabinet officials responsible to the reichstag, and to create out of the; |tatter somethi 1 more than a gilded forum for discussion.” And again: “The German people are now to speak. more war or they can have peace ap- parently at once. The oniy thing asked of them is a thing which they expressed their intention of ing sooner or later anyway—a jonsible, ment.” Making the cabinet ministers re- sponsible to the reichstag and speak- ing of parliamentary government will not be enough. If the Germans do ‘to part company with their Hohenzollern tribe ,they must st make these descendants of prandenburg robber barons no more than gilded figureheads. At present, to speak of Germany as constitutional or limited monarchy a huge joke. Nominally the kaiser is limited by the bundesrath and if Actually, he imposes his truly as did the czar of all the Rugsias in his palmiest days. The bundesrath is packed with his partisans The reichstag is kept from iting the great masses of the The sparsely settled agri- cultural, districts of east and west Prussia have more cities. 2E | | than the largely populated industrial nich takes them aboard. i | real government, in which the irdd States and the allies could put + trust, would be made up as fol- \ kaiser who was a mere figure- head. A bundesrath or upper house not packed with appointees of the junk- but really representing all the people. A reichstag of members elected from districts equaling each other in population. A chancellor and cabinet responsi- ble to the parliament alone and drawn from the party or block of parties tem- | porarily in command, just as at times in England the cabinet is conserva- tive or liberal, according to the par- liament majority. Such a government would justify considering peace negotiations. Peace could then really be concluded with the German people and not with their| masters. And in the future there would be less danger of war, because | it would have to be declared by the| people. Anythiny chort of this would be| sham reform, an alleged parliament- ary goveriscu! shorn of all power the; moment pewe had been concluded. With the army at his back, the kaiser would quickly show who was master. The German government with which we deal about peace must be so firmly established that the army will be its servant. While fighting to make the world safe for democracy, we can’t afford to be tricked into making Germany safe for the kaiser. “Russia must be beaten first,” says Hindenburg, and he’s begun it. But there's considerable history to prove that Pussia must be beaten first, last and all the time. Russians sure are the blue ribbon come-backers. THE AIMLESS MEN. A man who has motored from Maine to California says nothing on the whole trip astonished him so much as the number of aimless men. It was his habit to slide out of cities carly in the morning to avoid the traf- fic, but he was never too early to miss the men who idle away their days in | the public parks and boulevards, And often he slipped into towns very late at night, but never too late to pass other loiterers of the same kind. Even in the parks of cities whose | papers are crammed with ads—“Help Wanted—Male,” these strays are al- ways to be seen. On cool days they lounge in the ‘cnn, on hot days they sleep on the vrass in the shade. They never seem have friends, or to want them. They walk aimlessly. They sit aim lessly. They look as ff aimlessness 0 toddle alone. Not much can be done to reform the habits of a man over 30 years of age. It is not likely any of these men will ever have a well defined! motive in his life. But the sight of them should be a warning to parents: Get your child to work toward an end. See that he is able to define his object. Success is a habit formed early in} iife And it can hardly escape the man who js able to rest quietly in bed every morning while answering the | qecstion, “What am I going to do to- day?” He who is trained in this habit will never have to hunt a bed in a park. “The Prussian is born cruel and civilization will make him a savage,” wrote Goethe. And civilization is now engaged {0 ‘king him a good say- age. Cablegrair iy that Wifson’s reply to the pope ii ic “a profound impres- sion” in Germany. We believe it.

They were in no way gentle about It, yet the work was noiselessly done, and with sailorlike thoroughness, Dugan undertook to curse, but was so instant- ly gagged that only the first muflled word reached me in the passage. Mas- ters held the lantern, while the two mates refastened the door, driving home the nails with the fron bar. The Moment this was secure I was ready for the next act. “Give the lantern to Olson, Masters. You've got to look after the engine- room, and leave us to attend the deck Job. There'll be those sea-cocks to see to first, and then keep enough fire un- der the boilers for steerageway. Down with you, and don’t pay any attention to whatever we do.” at Heavy as he was he went down the fron rungs of the ladder like a fireman | answering a call, and the three of us} who wer’, left behind in the passage, | | stared iuto each others’ faces, barely visible ju the dim radius of light. | “What next, sir?’ asked Leayord | anxiously. “There's only three of us now, an’ forty-three o’ them.” “One less—you're counting Dade, and | o's safe enough. The boy Moon is of no account, and I {imagine there are twenty men out in those boats who have no heart in this business, They'd be with us now if they had any chance isn’t that so, Olson?” “Yas, sir—but they won't likely git no chance,” “True enough; yet it is something to knew that McCann and his gang can- hot count on them either, if it comes to a fight. As things stand it Is all a mat- ter of luck and nerve. There are only six in the boat hanging to the foot of the ladder, with McCann left alone on deck, We ought to be able to handle that bunch.” Leayord dug the iron bar he held into the deck planks savagely. “What did yer tell Masters to only keep up enough steam for steerage- way for, sir?” he asked bluntly. “IT was afraid they might notice, if he fired up.” ; ““Tain't Ikely, so the funnels don’t git ter blazin’. The only fellers with eny brains are in thet boat close in “CONTRABAND” A Romance of the North Atlantic by RANDALL PARRISH Author of “My Lady of the North,” “i : sionseide, str. an’ they can’t see nuthin’ (Copyright A.

Speak quick,.man; we can’t stand talking here.” “ain't not much o’-a plan, gir,” he explained briefly, “only I don’t see why, we couldn’t just naturally heave thi enss McCann overboard, er else kill him just as you please. Eny‘two o’ us could keep that quarterboat crew from comin’ up the ladder, an’-then, if Mas- ters had his boilers het up, no darn |. rowboat could ever catch us. Thet would leave us one hand at the wheel.” It was true, the very simplicity of It making me curse my_own stupidity. I stared into his face without uttering a word of comment, yet with my mind grasping instantly. the necessary de- tails. With a single step I was bend- ing over the ladder peering down into the depths below. A faint far-away light appeared at the bottom. “Masters!” I called, my voice thrown downward through hollowed hands. I saw his shadow emerge into the’ lifted him clear off the deck, as help circle of light. “Aye, aye, sir.” “Have you any pressure now?” “Fairly good, sir.

Her dvor stood side open, but| with no signs of, confusign. within, What had happened? There was nothing to;tell me the truth. Had M Cann succeeded in inducing her to ac: | company him on deck? Had he taken her there by force? or; :had the girl finally yielded to his insistence, after exhausting every formsof delay, her last faith in my return#having van- ished? Nothing remained but to: follow them, and find out what had occurred, and, if not already too late, attempt a rescue. : “There's no one here,” I said in a whisper. “We'll try the deck; quiet both of you.” i We reached the head of the stairs on our hands and knees, J had my re- volver gripped in my fingers, Leayord| the darkness scemed to swallow them Mis fron bar, while Olson had found a! completely, hatchet somewhere in ‘the darkness, The companion door was’ but half dosed, and I squeezed «my body through the opening, assured no one occupied that immediate portion of deck, The other two followed noiseless- ly, and we huddled close’ together in the black shadow. of the cabin, So still it was I could hear their breathing, and my eyes, trained by long service in the darkness below, were able to dis- unguish objects forward beyond the mmainmast. . There was nothing, living visible; to all appearances the ship was totally deserted; the last strag- glers had taken to the boats. Olson, who lay next me on the deck jerked my sleeve, his uplifted hand’pointing to- ward the starboard rail amidships. “There's two of ’em,” he whispered. My eyes caught. the indistinct out- lines, unable for the instant to make} them appear human. Indeed I was ctill In doubt when Mc€ann’s voice, with the old hateful sound in it, called into the darkness: “Below there; are you still fast?” “Aye, fist enough, an’ blamed tired| 0’ holdin’ on,” grumbled someone below testily. “Why don’t yer come along down?” E 3 “In a minute. Is everyone in the boats?” ‘ “I don’t know. nuthin’ *bout- the steward; nobody. ain’t'.seen him yet, ‘less he got in’ somewhar, else; nor Tom Dugan. Tony sez~he's in the cabin.” Es i “Well, he isn’t; I just come up from tein the other boats. there. We won't wait for the: blame fool. You flooded the engineroom, Tony?” “Sure I did, with both cocks wide open; there's five fect o° water in her by now." “Good ; then it’s time we're off. Send a hard up hereto help me, Liverpool— the girl won't go along”. The men below laughed at his trouble, “Can't yer handle thatilittle bit o’ a thing, mister?” sang out a new voice, “without the help o’ a sailor man?” “Stow it, Joe Sachs,” roared Red, and there was the dull thud of a fist blow. “Now up yer go to give the lady a lift,,me lad. Jump er I'll take the tiller ter yer next.” ‘ Sachs must have started -his upward climb, for McCann drew baek from the rail, and, as he did so, the’girl broke free from his grasp.

I staggered back, weakened for an instant by my own violence; I heard him czy out, the sound muffled in his throat as he fell; Vera gave utterance to a sob, and the whirling body struck the black water below with a splash plainly audible. Still¥ gasping . for breath, I leaned out and looked down. The only light was a lantern held up ‘in the hands of a man in the boat at the foot of the ladder. I could see his face, and the dim figures of three or four otpers; beyond that narrow radius all was black. I coud not even perceive Sachs, hulf way up the ship’s side, yet I knew he was there, clinging tight, be- cause of the tautness of the rope strands. There was no need to conceal the facts longer; we must fight in the open now. t “Leayord,- come here,” I ordered, “And you, Olson, take the wheel, and ring the engineroom for full speed ahead, Jump into. it lads.” I sent my voice below, stern with threat. “Get down that Iadder, Sachs, just as quick as God will let you. Let go, you man with the lantern, or we'll swamp you alongside... Do you hear the steam, Liverpool? It's full steam ahead, you foot!” seas It was Red’s voice which replied: “Is that you, captain? What hap- pened? Who went overboard?” “McCann; he’s astern of you, and you better pick him up as you go. Move quick! You haven't a second to lose. Man, you'll be sucked under, if youidon’t let go!” { They were seamen enough to realize the imminent danger.of their position. Liverpool and White both called’ out, and the others, grasping their oars, backed water furiously. I saw Sachs tumble back into the boat, and a face or two staring upward. Voices roared at us, the fellows cursing lustily; then and I knew from the tremor of the deek planks that we were underway. I sprang to Vera, and lifted her to her, feet. “You are not hurt?” ahs “No, only frightened and bruised, He threw me to the deck. Are we safe? Have they all gone?” “Yes, all who can make any resist- ance. Hold her just as she is, Olson; there’s a bone in her teeth alrendy; it will take more than oars to ovethau! us, Does anyone know if those fellows picked up McCann?” “I think most likely they did, sir; they wuz swingin’ the lantern along- side.” _ “Bring me the night-glasses, Leayord —aye, they're on the shelf in the cap- tain’s stateroom.” : He returned with them before I had finished whispering a word ‘of nope into the girl’s ear, but even that short time had so broadened the expanse of water I could: conceive, few~ details through the lens, Three. of; the boats, were close together, bunched'‘as though, their occupants were: ctill unaware sof just what ‘had- oc-urred; ‘the fourth. bont—the one we had just: left, no doubt—was much nearer, and must be entirely out, of sight of-the others.
