WE WERE GLAD TO SINK BABIES; DECLARES HUN Expressions Voiced by Subma- rine Sailors Show no Sign of Remorse Over Engaging in Murderous Warfare By EDWIN HULLINGER HARWICH, Eng.—(By Mail.) — What kind of fellows personally e se. German submarine sailors— who used to go about sinking ssenger and hospital ships without warning? This is a question every American has asked himself at some time. From a British launch today I saw hundreds of them—standing in gro- tesque groups on the U-boats’ decks, tumbling from the submarine into the launch, and leaning against their kits as the launch hurried them to their transport—and I talked person- ally with dozens of them. The first personal impression as your launch draws up beside sub- marine is the boyishness of the faces before you. Many seemed from 15 to 16. Several admitted they were 18, one, 17. The next, is the remarkable e pressionlessness of their featu You had expected to find sullen or dejection, or spite, Instead find yourself looking into a group of absolute masks, registering neither joy nor sorrow, relief or strain, pleasure nor hate—absolutely noth- ing giving the hint as to what is going on You never realized befurs fl of the German physiognomy to conceal feel- ing.

They were | | mostly inland b They knew nothing of the trad tions of the sea. Several years ago) had never seen salt water.! Which probably partly explains the absence of depression. They were! not so much concerned with the fact that the German navy had been the in history to deliver itself almost intact to an enemy in sur- render, as they were concerned that this was the final act necessary to end the war. Occasionally, of course, face told a different story, It seemed such an incongruous pic- ture—that of these youngsters scurrying down the steel ladders, snapping shut the hatches and rush- ing to the torpedo tubes to commit murder of the worst kind. Standing} there right at your elbow, they look- ed so harmless. The officers, however, were of a different stamp. There was one in particular, a 20-year-old lieutenant, from Hanover. He was a fine-look- ing chap, light hair, clean features, friendly blue eyes and an easy smile} _which served to accentate the per-| a sober How increditible it sounded when} he replied, with a smile, ‘Certainly, | submarine commanders willingly car- ried. out orders to sink passenger} ships with women and _ children! aboard. They were glad to do it.| That is war!” | It seemed so incredible, from a) fellow like that, I asked him to re- peat. He said the same thing over again, slowly with the same smile, and seemed to see nothing odd in it. He rather appeared a bit amused| that the question should arise. i There were very few officers, however, Most of the captains and lieutenants had preferred to let their subordinates do the surrendering. More than one U-boat was surrender- | ed by a petty officer, or a junior} grade lieutenant. ~~ DEBARKATION OF YANKS SHOW FOR THE NATIVES.

But Future ene Peoples alissetidan cae A food map of Europe today shows not a single country In which the fu- ture does not hold threat of serious difficulties and only a small part which is not rapidly approaching the famine point. With the exception of the Ukraine only those countries which have maintained marine commerce have sufficient food supplies to meet actual needs until next harvest, and even In the Ukraine, with stores accu- mulated on the farms, there is famine in the large centers of population. ; Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different reta- tion from the other nations to the peo- ple of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and Is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those of Serbia, must be incladed in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and must have immediate relief. The gratitude of the Belgian nation for the help America has extended to her during the war constitutes the strongest appeal for us to continue our work there. Thé moment the German armies withdrew from her sofl and she eWas established once more in her own seat of government the little nation's first thought was to express her grati- tude to the Commission for Relief in Belgium for preserving the lives of millions of her citizens. Germany, on the other hand, need not figure In such a map for Ameri- cans because there !s no present indl- cation that we shall be called on at all to take thought for the food needs of Germany. Germany probably can care for her own food problem if she is given access to shipping and {s enabled to distribute food to the cities with dense populations, which are the trou- ble centers, England, France, the Netherlands and Portugal, all of which have been maintuined from American supplies, have sufficient food to meet immediate needs, but their future presents seri- ous difficulties. The same is true of Spain and the northern neutral coun- tries—Norway, Sweden and Denmark —whose ports have been open and who have been able to draw to some degree upon foreign supplies, Most of Russia ts already In the throes of famine, and 40,000,000 people there are beyond the possibility of help. Before another spring thou- sands of them inevitably must dle. This applies as well to Poland and practically throughout the Baltic re- ISLE OF WIGHT PICKED BY HUNS FOR LANDING PLACE IN PROGRAM FOR INVASION OF GREAT BRITAIN.

One of the first precautions taken in August, 1914, was to place close restrictions on persons trying to land upon or leave the island. From Harwich to Hamp- shire along the south and southeast ts of England, nests of German spies and agents were engaged in desperate missions in the early days of the war. One of the urgent tasks of the British Secret Service was to stamp out the operations of these men. For a long time the authorities were unable to discover the origin of Morse signals that were being flashed out to German submarines seafront and Pevensey. Special watch was kept on a certain cottage and altho no lights were! shown, the patient observers finally solved the mystery.

The case was developed at the instigation of E. B, Foster, a local real estate dealer and prose- cuted. by Attorney M. W. Purcell.

Several times he stated he had .approached the father of the children requesting that he contribute toward the support of his children and each time elicted such a promise but nothing else. The parents of the children were severely censured by the court and were compelled to provide a $1000 bond to insure their payment of $100 a month for the support’ of the chil- dren, the money to be paid to Mr. Foster who will have charge of their well being im the future. SPANISH INFLUENZA--JUST GRIP The Last Epidemic in 1889-90 | Came From Russia by Way | of France and Was Given a | French Name, La Grippe. This Time It Comes by Way | of Spain. | Origin of the Di Spanish influenza, which appeared , in Spain in May, has swept over the ; World in numerous epidemics as far, | back as history runs. Hippocrates re-| | fers to an epidemic in 412 B. C.! | which is regarded by many to have been influenza, Every century has |had its attacks. Beginning with | 1831, this country has had five epi-! | demics, the last in 1889-90. The Symptoms | Grip, or influenza, as it is now) called, usually begins with a chill fol- lowed by aching, feverishness and) sometimes nausea and dizziness, and| a general feeling of weakness and| depression. The temperature is from! 100 to 104, and the fever usually! lasts from three to five days. The! germs attack the muscous membrane, | or lining of the air passages—nose, | throat and bronchial tubes—there is usually a hard cough, especially bad} at night, often times a sore throat) or tonsilitis, and frequently all the | appearances of a severe head cold. i The Treatment { Go to bed at the first symptoms| —take a purgative, eat plenty of| nourishing food, remain perfectly | quiet and don’t worry. Nature her-| self is the only “cure” for influenza and will throw off the attack if only you conserve your strength. A lit-| tle quinine, aspirin or Dover’s pow-, der may be given by the physician’s| directions to allay the aching. Al-) ways call a doctor, since the chief danger of grip is in its weakening | effect on the system, which allows} complications to develop. These are chiefly pneumonia and_ bronchitis, sometimes inflammation of the mid-| dle ear, or heart affections, For) these reasons, it is very important that the patient remain in bed until) his strength returns—stay in bed at| least two days or more after the; fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four lays or more, according to the se- verity of the attack. External Applications | In order to stimulate the lining! f the air passages to throw off the! grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open, thus making the breathing eas- ier, Vick’s VapoRub will be found effective. Hot, wet towels should be, applied over the throat, chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub! CAMOUFLAGED UNDER A NEW NAME | Most Authorities Now Agree That This Disease is Simply the | Old-Fashioned Grip, the Same That Has Swept Over the | World Times Without Number. | States Has Had Five Epidemics. Since 1831 the United until the skin is red, spread on thick- ly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose around the neck as the heat of the body liberates the in- gredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication direct- ! ly to the parts affected. At the same | time, VapoRub is absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. No Occasion for Panic There is no occasion for panic— influenza or grip has a very low per- centage of fatalities—not over one death out of every four hundred cases, according to the N. C. board of health, The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking prin- cipally patients in a run-down con- dition—those who don’t go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too early. Evidence seems to, prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human’ ¢ontact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting: So avoid persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds —common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bodily strength by plen- ty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Keep Free From Colds Above all, avoid colds, as colds ir- ritate the lining of the air passages and render them much better breed- ing places for the germs. Use Vick’s VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon ard inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an or- dinary tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boiling water, put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time— keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. NOTE—Vick’s VapoRub is the dis- covery of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, menthol, and Camphor, with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cubebs, etc., so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingredients are liberated in the form of vapors, VapoRub can be had in three sizes at all druggists. While comparatively new in certain parts of the North, it is the standard home remedy in the South and West for all forms of cold troubles—over. six million jars were sold last year. VapoRub is particularly recommend- ed for children’s croup or colds, as it is externally applied and can, therefore, be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects. should be rubbed in over the parts —Adv. | Ms grotesque nondescript uniforms.
