Newport News, April 12.—Coal, fresh water, meats and provisions for three days were sent aboard the German merchant raider Kron Prinz Wilhelm, which arrived here yester- day. Supplies intended to prevent the spread of beryberi, caused by unwholesome food were also placed on board. The cruiser Wilhelm left New York August 3, and has been on the seas ever since.

Commander Thierfelder, commanding the vessel, wants the ship surveyed by the United tSates officers before taking time for re- pairs and supplies. He conferred with government officials this morn- ing. The Wilhelm sank the Norwe- gian bark Somantha, carrying wheat to England on b. 5, which may cause international complications. The commander sald the cargo was contraband, and he had to sink the ship. The charge that the Wilhelm left New York uncleared is being in- vestigated. Naval patrols have been established around the vessel. Pursued to Virginia Capes (By Assoclated Press.) Newport News, April 12.—W. J.

D EVENING TELEGRAM BOOST-REMEMBER THAT SATAN STAYED IN HEAVEN UyyiL HE BEGAN TO KNOCK HIS HOME TOWN MEAL TIME IN A GERMAN CAMP IN POLAND e IRVING COBB SEES NO IMMEDIATE END.OF THE GREAT WORLD WAR {IS BACK FROM EUROPE AND DE- CLARES PEOPLE OF AMERICA DON'T REALIZE THE AWFUL- NESS OF WAR San Diego, April 12.—Declaring that the real cause of the European war was the jealousy between the belligerent nations for commercial supremacy and expansion, Irving Cobb, noted war correspondent, does not see any end for the gigantic struggle until one side is decisively beaten and its resources exhausted. Cobb, who has just returned from Europe and whose articles on the war in the Saturday Evening Post are attracting widespread attention, is a visitor at the San Diego Exposi- tion. “I came here to drink in the beau- ties of this great exposition,” said Cobb, who is a daily visitor at the grounds. ‘““As I stand here and look over this wide expanse of beauty and peacefulness, what a striking contrast it makes to what 1 have Vjust seen on the European battle- fields. There all is strife and dev- astation. Here all is prosperity and happiness. Over on the other side they want to fight it out, the coun- tries urging peace are those which have no war but if there is any-, thing nearer hell than war 1 don't know what it is. General Sherman was right.” ! (‘obb declares he is taking a mueh needed rest but plans to go back and resume his work in Europe in May. Cobb does not appear to have lost his humorous vein even though he | has been associated with an atmos- phere conducive to all things except- ing comedy. Good nature _rndlntps' from every inch of him and the fact that he had never been accused of being a handsome men he considers quite a joke. He is never nettled when a jibe is given about his per- sonal appearance or build, and leu! humor in such references as: Cobb; is not a prize beauty.

TO PRESERVE WORKS OF ART WHEN POSSIBLE Amsterdam, April 12—The Ger- man General Staff has issued & formal reply to numerous letters and communications expressing & desire that monuments of art and civilization in the war zones should be preserved by the German armies as far as possible. “These appeals,” says the Staf's statement, ‘‘show how deeply root- ed in our people is the understand- ing of such culture questions. The German army is equally inspired by such sentiments, and always spares monuments when they are not either destroyed by the enemy or used in the enemy's scheme of battle.” Hamburg, April 12—A Jewish newspaper in Flamburg reports that the number of Jews promoted from the ranks in the Prussian army to positions as officers, was 43 up to the first of February.

No ome, dreamed of her coming. She was dressed with what I can only describe as relig- fous simplicity—a severely plain costume and a tourist cap. Her companions were a Belgian officer and her physician. So far as I could hear, no ward was spoken. “Her Majesty fascinated me. She was as one who is weighed down with grief; her eyes were the eyes of one who has cried long, and could hear, no word was spoken . ing at the burnt and battered walls of the sacred building, awe-inspir- ed, broken, crushed.

London, April 12.—The school for training officers, established by the British general staff, is located close to the general headquarters in France, and now has more than a hundred students, all picked -from the ranks. The course occupies & month and combines theory with practice, although special emphasis is naturally placed on the practical side. The school occupies a comfortable old mansion. A group of barns and sheds have been fitted up as dormi- tories. In the courtyard is a great sand bank, where the students con- struct model trenches, and apply the theory of the textbook to practice. There are several class rooms equipped with blackboards on which the instructors fight over again some of the early battles of the war. There are courses in mathematics, in hygiene, and in other branches nec- essary for the equipment of a young officer. Not all the students prove to be of suitable material for commis- sioned rank. Part of the business of the school is to test the students as to their mental and moral capa- bilities for assuming rank as an of- ficer in the field. Every week the student goes back to the trenches for twenty-four hours in company with an instructor, to observe and apply what he has been taught dur- ing the six days at the school. Mary Louwood.
