HE noise made by the Revolutionary press in Germany over T belated evidence confirming the truth—that the former Im- perial and Militarist German Government did cause the war— need not be taken too ingenuously, The tone of it is pitched right enough. v Dr. Karl Licbknecht’s organ, the Red Flag, “the immediate convening of a Revolutionary Tribunal for the purpose of passing sentence on the Hohenzollerns, father and eon, and on Von Bethmann-Hollweg. Wilhelm II. must be commanded to return and give an account before , this Tribunal.” “They committed high treason,” pronounces Die Freiheit. “We cannot lay hands on William and his son, but it is to be hoped that they will yet be brought to justice. Their fortunes, “That gang of murderers,” warns the Berlin Vorwaerts, “are still planning to re-establish themselves,” ‘ Admirable, in so far as it represents actual present feelings of . Germans toward the Hohenzollerns and the militarist party. But behind these denunciations is there recognition of the unfortunate} but equally significant truth that for four years a substantial majgrity “gang of murderers” and went on backing them until the stronger force of law and humanity struck -them down?

It is not unfair to say that Admiral Dewey at Manila Bay reaped the highest honors; nevertheless, the purt Played by our Atlantic Squadron un- der the command of William T, Sampson was of great importance, As may be recalled when the Spanish fleet set sail for Cuba the two coun- tries were in a state of war and the strength of the Spanish fleet was wholly unknown, It was possible that on its voyage to this country many American merchantmen would be probably captured, In those days nations at war still observed the traditions of true sportsmen and scorned to sink a ship with non-com- batants and women and children on board, The Spanish record in Cuba was none too savory, but when con- trasted with the career of the Ger- mans in Belgium and Flanders tt becomes a performance of respecta- bility and decorum, The advent of the Spanish fleet on the high seas created intense interest throughout the United States, As it was before the days of wireless, a week or two was bound to elapse be- fore any news would reach America, Two of our famous Atlantic liners, the New York und St, Paul, were em- ployed as scout ships (rechristened the Yale and Harvard), Their great speed was relicd upon to keep them out of reach of harm and enable them Got Their Names By Henry.

The Spanish managed to evade at- tack on the high séas, but their dan- ger increased as they approached the Island of Cuba. Their dash for the Harbor of Havana, where they would have received the support of land fortifications, was frustrated by the vigilance of the American scouts, and they were forec1 to seek refuge in Santiago Harbor, Lieut. Hobson and @ volunteer crew succeeded in sinking the collier Merrimac at the entrance of the harbor, They were captured and subsequently released, but thelr ex- ploit created the wildest enthusiasm in the country at large. The At- lantic Squadron, under the command of Sampson, had by this time taken up its position, Upon one eventful day the Spanish sailed forth tn a vain attempt to resume their journey. Overwhelmed by & superior force, the Spanish squadron was captured and destroyed, The losses on the American side were one killed and one captured, A more bloodless en- gagement on the high seas with such stupendous results had never before been recorded,, Shortly afterward terms were made by which we came into possession of the Philippine Islands and Porto Rico, Sampson re- ceived great credit for his handling of the situation in front of Santiago, The new torpedo boat, named for him, which is one of the largest in design and construction, will always remind us of his exploits, LASS was manufactured for the first time in America 808 G years ago by the people of Jamestown, Va, John Smith, com- menting on their success in produc- ing @ satisfactory quality of glass, lumented that “the labor of the colony has been miisdirected tn the manufacture of ashes, soap, glass and tar, in which they could by no means compete with Sweden or Rus- sia.” John Smith's opinion, how- ever, did not seem to worry the en- terprising people of Jamestown, for not long afterward they began the erection of a plant to manufacture ginss on a large ecale. The com- pletion of this factory was inter- rupted by the Indian massacre of 1622, The first real glass factory in North America to attempt the in- Glass Made Here 303 Years Ago dustry on an ambitious scale was built in 1780 at Temple, N. H., by | Robert Hewes of Boston, The build- ing was sixty-five feet square, snd the workmen, thirty-two in number, were German deserters from the British army. The carelessness of drunken workman caused the de- struction of the plant by fire in 1781. In 1803 a glass factory was estab- lished in Boston and since that time the industry has grown to great proportions. —_—_— ALWAYS HUMORED HIM, Muggins—Can you truthfully say that in all your life you ever had your own way?
