Their devotion to duty ap- peals to the imagination of the writers, for it is assumed they volun- tarily accepted almost certain death and only by something akin to a mira- cle could those who remained aboard to explode the charges have survived. Stories of survivors who have ai rived at Dover flushed with belief in { the full success af the expedition are not corroborated in every detail by the official account. The reported de- struction of the lock gates and conse- quent draining lack confirmation. If substantiated, this presumably would be the greatest achievement of the raiding squadron. Estimates of the time the Germar will need to remove the obstructions from the channel and repair the dam- aged Mole vary greatly. King George has telegraphed ns to Vice-Admiral Keyves Zeebrugge and Ostend. Admiral Lord Beresford, terview, while eulogizing the Zee- brugge achievement as a splendid thing and quite worth the sacrifices, warned against disappointment if the results do not reach the most san- guine expectations. He sald the blocking of a harbor is a most diffi- cult undertaking and it never can be certain that the obstacles have been placed just right. Moreover there is always the possibility of dredging a channel around the obstacles or find- ing a passage between them.

His appeal was for in- creased investments in the issue of the Third Liberty Loan and it is be- lieved his talk was effective. In part, he said: “The first thing that impresses one who goes to the front is the sight ot all the nations of the earth come to France to fight for civilization,— New Newfoundlanders, South Belgians, French, Italians, Portuguese, American ne- groes, African negroes and Chinese coolies. All come there to fight or work In the war; and not only men, but materials from the four corners of the earth. “I will tell you something about the general conditions in England and France. There is not a single pri- [ vate automobile running; there are no flags; you won't see a single flag in the strects or on the flag staffs ex- cept on the war offices and public buildings.

There are 4,750,000 women in uniform, including those in the fac- | tories of which there are a vast num- ber and who do wonderful work. In England you will see no mourn- ing. The women do not wear France on the other hand is aflutter with black. Business goes on usual, more or less. Some kinds of business are very flourishing but everywhere is visible evidence of the war. “The fcod situation acute than we realize. Sugar and but- ter are almost non existent 1 meat is sold only on a meat card. The war bread has a great deal of ‘war’ in it and there are no cookies, cakes, ples, doughnuts and candy, but still they are laughing about it. You would not know that the situation was so serious. T want to tell you a little about what England has done in war loans The rich people have practically turned their money over to the gov- ernment and hope some fine day to get some of it back. The great masses of the people in England, mechanics and workers in industries, have sub- scribed to war loans in a wonderful manner. In West Hartlepool, which is on the coast of the North Sea snd which was bombarded by the Ger- mans, in one week the people sub- scribed $187.50 per capita. This would be about eight to ten millions for a city like New Britain. They know what war is. I want to have you know that in England and France they have done a great deal more than we are doing here in supporting the war loans, “I woula like to tell you about the battlefields. 1 was at Messines and Wytschaete and Ypres, which is the “Wipers’ of the British Tommy. An active Dbattlefield looks like a vast dump. There are no trees, no bushes, nothing but the ground all torn up and the barbed wire entanglements The great guns can be heard for 20 miles and at night their flash looks like lightning on a summer night. Onz day I counted in the air 15 airplanes and one observation balloon. The small German shells sound like the bursting of a paper bag. “I was in Paris when the 75-mile gun commenced its bombardment. They thought it was a daylight air raid, an unprecedented thing. The stells dropped in the city every fif- teen minutes. The next morning was Palm Sunday and shells dropped very eight minutes.

It is a case of putting out hand to the plow and of not looking back. We must go on or go under. “And it all takes money. It costs $156 to equip a soldier to go to France and then he has to have two or three more pairs of shoes a year and two or three more rifles, shirts, socks and undercloths and by the end of the year an entire new uniform. It costs money to transport him across and three or four tons of freight to maintain him and furnish him with ammunition.

Any weaken- ing or any slackening on our part is worth more to the Kaiser than the greatest victory in the field. And remember this: we did not enter this v.ar for any other purpose than self defence; we did not enter it to save France, to help England, or redeem Belgium. We entered this war for the preservation of our constitution, our honor, our independence, our existence as a nation. “It is a case, gentiemen, of lend- ing your money to the government at a good rate of interest, on the best security in the world, or, later paying it in indemnity to Germany. “I appreciate the opportunity of talking to you men—men and wome~ much. 1 see many young women re, and the young women engaged in our industries is one of the things of which America should be proud. “Now, what we can do is to lend our money and subscribe to the Lib- erty Loan. Any sacrifice we make in subscribing is nothing to what the boys make, who are at the front line under fire, and ready to give their lives at any time that they are dc- manded.” en—ver: ¥ i NO SHUT-DOWN FRIDAY.
