Washington News Letter
The taking over of the Sayville radio
wireless telegraph plant bv the Navy
Department last week, is regarded by
officials of the Department as a closed
incident. Any protests b¥^ tbe Atlan
tic Communicali(Mi Company, owners
of the station, will be regarded as
made merely for the protection ot its
legal rights. Apparently, the action
of the United States in seizing the
plant has met with approval ol the
German government. It has been
School tJonfer-
ence which was in session at the Sum
mer School last week, discussed thor
oughly eveiy question dealing with the
work of our schools.
One outstanding feature of the con
ference was the great interest mani
fested in moonlight schools and in farm
life schools. Thursday morning Dr. J.
Y. Joyner spoke in chapel on the great
work which the moonlight schools are
doing and as a result over 150 teachers
of the state offered their services free
obligating to teach at least one month
in some moonlight school.
Farm life schools also received at
tention at the meetings of the confer
ence. On Friday rcprebentatives from
every farm life school in the state
were here and told the teachers how
they had succeeded in building up their
schools. Dr. Joyner also outlined the
contemplated requirements for farm
life schools. Briefly these were: There
should be a farm of 25 acres, 2 teams,
a barn and 4 cows; that there should
be a dormitory with a minimum ca
pacity of 25 boys and 25 girls; a school
building to cost, at the lowest, $1300;
and a trained mun for farm demonstra
tor and a trained woman for home
economics work. Funds for the esta
blishment and nuiintenance of the
school may be secured from three
sources: $2500 from the state; the stme
amount from the country, and in ad
dition an appropriation as a county
high school. The meeting of the con-
fertnce were well attended and of
unusual value to the teachers oi the
state.

nephew of the former dictator of the

According to information received,
four vessels are involved. Gen. Diaz,
it is said, plans to have the four ships

has made public figures which show that

date, exclusive of those in the Italian

^ Why Not The Truth?
Germany has soug'ht to justify its
submarine warfaie against merchants
men on various groundc, but the ex
cuse ofteneat made use cf is that des
perate measures were necessary to
prevent the starvation of its civjl po
pulation. In most of its official utter
ances this consideration has been urged
with vigor.
The original German memorandum
of Feb 4 announcing the establishment
of a naval war zone said that Great
Britain had attempted “through star
vation to doom the entire population
of Germany to destruction.”
Feb, 9 Herr von Jagow, German
Foreign Minister, defended the new
policy because “Great Britain by meas
ures inadmisgable under international
law has paralyzed neutral commerce
with Germany in an attempt to force
upon the German civil population death
by starvation.”
Feb. 13 Ambassador von Bernstorff
notified the American State Depart
ment that “Great Britain was deter
mined to starve the populace of Ger
many as well as the army and that his
Government would retaliate by putting
aside the ordinary usag&s of naval war
fare and beginning hostilities based
upon unprecedented practices.”
Feb. 15 the German Foreign Office
in a note to the United States Govern
ment said; Germany has been compell
ed to resoi t to this kind of warfare by
the murderous ways of British warfare
which aims at the starvation of the
German people.”
Feo. 16 Admiral Behncke of the
German Marine Department notified
the American Embassy in Berlin that
“Great Britain nad in view the sub
jugation of Germany by starvation,”
and that, “since the shutting off of
food supplies ha'i come to a point
where Germany had not sufficient food
to feed her people, submarine warfare
was a necessity. ”
In this fashion Germany prepared in
advance its defense of the Lusitania
and otner atrocities. The German note
of May 30 answering the -first Ameri
can protest did not, however, refer to
the starvation issue. That was form
ally incorporated in the note of July 8,
which said that Germany’s adversaries
have aimed from the very beginning
and with increasing lack of consider
ation tit the destruction not so much
of the armed forties as the life of the
German nation.”
If it shall now appear from the tes
timony of competent witnesses that
Geimany is not starving and never
has been in any danger of starvation,
on what grounds can it defend the
misuse of submarines against friend
and foe alike?
In a recent publication by the Dis
con to-Gesellsch&ft of Berlin describing
Germany's economic condition it is
said that as to feeding the people the
empire “is not exposed to any serious
danger,” and that “it is in a position,
with economy, to dispense completely
with foreign imports and to feed the
country out of its own production.”
Ernest P. Bicknell, Director of the
American Red Cross, whose opprtunities
for observation have been very ex
tensive says that “any one who thinks
Germany has a food shortage or will
have one is deceiving himself,” and
that “Germany is in a splendid
position as to food.”
Six weeks ago in an unofficial j
statement Herr von Jagow himself,
who has diplomatically testifed to the
starvation of Germany, said “Germany
has shown, D think* that it cannot be
starved out.”
Thus the one excuse tor the
Lustitania massacre that has been
accepted in some quarters is over
thrown at a time when German Am
bassador von Bernstorff is holding
conferences with
THE NUMBER FORTY
estrange Coincidence That
This Nuir.ber Should Oc
cur So Many T imes.
Have you ever noticed anything pe
culiar about the number forty? These
figures seem to have had an unusual
bearing on events, both past and pres
ent.
We all know the story of the“forly”
thieves, and the old verse of the “for
ty” flags. Then there are the mem
bers of the French Academy known
as the “forty” immortals; and the old
slang f(-r “going some” was “going
like forty.”
But the most interesting list of oc
curences in which this mysterious
“forty” is to be found is in the Bible,
as shown in the following:
The rain that produced the flood
fell for “forty” days and “forty”
nights, and after it ceased it was
“forty” days before Noah opened the
ark. Moses was “forty” days on the
mountain fasting and the spies spent
“forty” days investigating matters in
Canaan before making their report.
Elijah fasted ‘forty” days in tho wil
derness, and Jonah gave the people
of Nineveh “forty” days in which to
repent. The “forty” days’ fast of
Jesus is known to all readers of the
New Testament.
That Horrible Gas.
Robert Bacon, a former ambassador
to France, says he has been in France
military hospitals and had seen the
agonies of soldiers who had inhaled the
asphyxiating gas used by the Ger
mans.
“Ic is not true,” Mr- Bacon said,
“that these poor soldiers die at once.
Some may do so, but most of them
linger several days, fully conscious
and enduring great suffering. They
slowly strangle to death through the
liquefying of the lung tissues, I have
heard. Even in the cases of those who
recover it is too early yet to know
the final effects may be, or what per
manent trouble may follow the effect
of. the gas.
Talent Attracts Attention
Anywhere.
Writing, of the Mayo Brothers, the
renowned surgeons of Rochester, Minn,
who “have made a little prairie town,
the center of a farming community,
famous among medical scientists the
world oyer,” the Asheville Gazette-
News thinks ihe Drs. Mayo have made
good the assertion so often attributed
to Emerson, but in recent years a mat
ter of- dispute as to authorship—that if
a man do a be£ter job of work than
some other man, thought he live in the
midst of a forest the world will make
a beaten path to his door. “Talent,”
says the Asheville paper, “recognizes
no such thing as geography;” and fur
ther;
“They (the Mayos) might have gone
to Chicago or New York, but they
stayed in Rochester. And not only did
patients come to them from the whole
country and beyond the seas, but fam
ous surgeons came from every nation
on the globe to learn at their feet. In-
recent years their private hospital has
