No longer do a few cyclists stand guard “l‘"‘?. over {important landing places, as they did for many days after war was declared. “The danger of invasion appeared very great to Us in those days,” sald the commander of one of the cyclists’ battalions the other days. .We had to put forth the most colossal efforts to ' get our defense ornnintlon up to adequate pitch. “ I the Germans regarded an in- | vasion of England as a fearsome task then, he must regard it as a hopeless impossibility now.

In 1914 the German in- vader would have been opposed large- l ly by half-trained troops straight from workshops and offices, while to- | day he would have to meet men the j equal in physique and fighting ability of anything the world has ever seen.” The actual work of protecting land- ing places has long since been taken out of the hands of the cyclist bat- talions, who have become more pure- ly & coast patrol. Their duties now- adays occasionally are varied by the | capture of various objects of interest ‘washed up by the tide, such as mines, bodies, wreckage and lifebuoys. The mines are destroyed by guncotton, af- fording a few moments of pleasant excitement for the patrol. Hundreds of sailors from torpedoed ships have received their first wel- come to land from cyclist patrols | along lonely coasts. Company head- i quarters’ contain dozens of ‘accounts ) of such encounters, always in the stiff 1 official language in which the British army and navy alwayg clothes its | deeds ‘of heroism. Heré is such a ! report from a cyclist, patrol, culled at nndom from a file at headquarters: “Sighted, small open boat drifti towards shore. This about dawn 'dur- ing blindiig snowstorm. Occupants too exhausted ‘to use oars.: Big sea running. Boat reached breakers and’ !overturned. Patrol with assistance | from nearest huts summoned by rock- ets, succeeded saving all but thres who too numbed from exposure i make any effort. One our motor transports arrived promptly took sur- vivors farmhouse. Bodies . thres drowned later taken headquarters.” On. dark nights, the patrols fre- quently encounter small ships: which have gone on sand bars owing to the lack of. guiding land lights. A patrol must take every precaution against some enemy ruse in such a case. As soon as word is received that a ship is approaching the shore, a force of reserves is summoned énd takes up a defensive position with machine guns. Then a boarding party is sent aboard the vessel to examine her and make a report. Even if there 1s | nothing suspicious about the vessel a guard is left aboard to.prevent any- one coming ashore or possibly com- municating with hostile agents on shore. The coast patrols are on duty on practically every mile of British to CLINTON N. ROWAKD. $1. Men’s Patent-Leather Shoes and Ox- fords, button or lace, & pair.

Menus S 398 Main' Stréet night and day. A cyclist patrol is usually on his “beat’” for three hours, returning to quarters for a rest pe- riod which is followed by the day’'s routine of physical training, musketry practice, bayonet practice, and man- oeuvres similar to that followed in regular infantry camps. Most of the cyclists forces hope one day to be called across the channel. The day for which. they look .is the time when a great mobile force will be required in Belgium and’ Germany to pursue a retreating and demora- lized enemy. ACCUSES U. S. OF SELFISH MOTIVEI LA North German Gazettc Says tered War to Stave off Financial Collapse ot Our Debtors. Berlin, via London, June 15.—Un- der the caption “Submarine Warfare and War Costs,” the North German Gazette has the following to say: “In none of the warring countries has the question of war costs attracted that degree of attemtion one was pre- viously led to believe it would. One | would be almost inclinied to assert the | higher the war costs amount to the less attention they aroused and Lloyd George's word concerning the last sil- | ver bulletin will never come true. Iinto the war is accounted for in no | small degree by the circumstances. They long since became the ‘creditors of our enemies, whose bankruptcy they saw approaching and desired to avert as far as possible. In connec- tion with the participation in war of the United States and their far reach- ing ship building plans it is especially desirable to project the question of the costs of submarine war into pub- lic discussion. “The answer is quite plain. Oftset- ting the monstrous values which the Entente powers are losing dally in ships and cargoes, not to mention the costs of meeting the submarine war, our. losses are almost inpfinitésimal. { They consist only in lost U-boats and | munitions. The wholly unequal pro- portion becomes more pronounced as the submarine campaign goes on. The moye capital our enemies invest in ship bullding the greater will be the, ratio of values wiped out. “To be sure our enemies set up the Tt will be This is a union platform meet- Frederick G.

Serlously they are. hard- ly expecting to realize such a pence congdition. Such prospects never did obtain and today they are more re- mote than ever.
