LOOK AHEAD A LITTLE, GENTLE
MEN!
The American citizens of German
and Irish extraction who are form
: ing an organization for the purpose
of influencing the selection of presi
dential nominees, and more specific
ally of opposing the renomination of
President Wilson, really ought to look
ahead a little.
This war isn't going to last always.
' It may end much sooner than any
body expects. It won’t be long until
all the excitement engendered by the
present conflict and, incidentally,
most of the reputations gained by
contributing to it, will become part
and parcel of the past.
When the clouds have rolled away
and everything has resumed its nor
mal course, how will these gentlemen
feel as exponents of the principle that
the selection of a president of the
United States, or of any other pub
lic official, for that matter, ought to
be largely influenced by internation
al considerations?
How will they look, as sponsors for
in organization got together on the
heory that the attitude of the na
ional administration to this or that
oreign government is a primary con
sideration-compared with which all
>ur domestic issues and interests
nust pale into Insignificance?
Just at present, when imaginations
ire a little overheated, it is perhaps
jatural for gentlemen of fervid senti
uents to Imagine that there is a
Ireat call for such an organization,
tnd that, even after the present ex
' itement is over, it may survive as an
effective political instrument. But
hey are wrong.
They ought to consider carefully the
hanee that the plan which today
eems sublime will ^ tomorrow look
ery foolish.—Chicago Herald.

Former President Taft, in a Wash
igton’s birthday address at Morris
wn, N. J-, gave counsel meet for
le times to every American.
Calling attention to the various in
ovations of the European belliger
fits upon formerly' accepted rules of
Iternational law with respect to neu
il commerce and to the fact that
e “serious invasion of our rights”
us threatened brings us “face to
ce Wyth a crisis,” Mr. Taft contin

WASHINGTON, March 11.—It is re
ported here that three British war
ships chased the German cruiser Ei
tel Fredrich up the coast when on
her way to Newport News, having
gained information of her leaving a
South American port for an American
port where she could receive repairs.
THE GERMAN AIRSHIP
RAID UPON CALAIS
CALAIS.—Warning of the approach
of the Zeppelin which bombarded this
city was given to the sentries by the
throbbing of the engine as it ap
proached rapidly from the sea at a
height of about 1,000 feet. The air
ship flew straight across the city to
ward the Fontinette station, dropping
no bombs on the way.
The first missile fell when the Zep
pelin was above the point where the
railroad tracks intercept. It went
through the footbridge and struck the
track leading to Dunkirk. The air
ship then rose somewhat higher in
the air and dropped five bombs in
rapid succession. All fell in the vi
cimty ot tne rauroaa. une Dursi in
the courtyard of houses close to the
grade crossing, demolishing a shed
and breaking windows. The occu
pants of the houses, awakened by the
explosion, escaped without injury.
Other bombs fell in the garden and
on the roof of a little house in the
Hue Dognien. An old man and a lit
tle girl asleep in the garret, and the
family which occupied the cottage on
the ground floor, consisting of the
father, mother, and two children, were
buried in the ruins. All were killed
except one child, a baby five months
old, which was taken uninjured from
the twisted mass of brick and plaster.
The front of the house was cut off
as cleanly as though it had been
done by a gigantic knife.
The violence of the explosion shook
the neighboring houses to their foun
dations, and broke all the windows
within a wide radius. After dropping
the bombs the Zeppelin disappeared
rapidly over the sea. It evidently was
manned by pilots well acquainted
with the locality, since it came from
the sea directly to Fontinette, cross
ing the city at the point of its great
est width. A long German pennant
attached to a sack containing sand
was found on the roof of a house
near one of those demolished, and
handed over to the military governor.
SAYS GERMANY’S VICTORIES
HAVE BEEN GREATEST
In any review of the military
achievement of the great nations who
for half a year have waged a strug
gle greater than any in written his
tory, it is necessary to point out in
advance that in this period the great
successes, conquests, victories have
been with the Germans. Measured by
what they had to do by what they
expected to do, it is possible to em
phasize failures and it is natural to see
the points at which German military
strategy and strength has broken
down. But viewed as a feat of arms,
the thing the German soldiers have
done in the past six months is rival
led only by what the French revolu
tionary soldiers did against Europe
in arms more than a century ago.—
Hugo Klist.
“That handsome woman over there
is a widow of one of the Jaggs broth
ers.” “Which brother is she the wid
ow of?” “The dead one.”
