OCT. 10, 1917 ANOTHER ANGLE The German government's efforts to secure peace by negotiation pos sibly may be sincere and it is even conceivatfle that the Berlin diplo- mats, gathered about the blue cloth, ,, , . p r;n,l n would be m a frame of mind to Kive the other nations some sort of fair deal, though one has no reason fur assuming any such thing. I . , 11.. Th U thought was prompted, how- , , . ' ,,. ... I ever, by the various pullinps within the German empire. There are the easternors, who insist on taking a big slice of Russia, including- Riga; there are westerners, who want Bel- gium ami part of France; there are Mitiirnrnm n,Vhnr..nt.. who ec Gernum power in Turkey and Ser- bia, and finally there are the adher ents of a larger colonial policy. If, Electrical Inspections. . r,rf "Electricity furnishes power and the UK,uum"uu "v woul.l have to win over several groups which urged it to make war, and that in Germany, as the von Tir- pitz following shows, would be a big task. Mavbo Emneror William would like u.. , n ,a Kncia nf tn . , . , . . . status quo ante, but his lusty arm cnair supporters win nave none 01 that. They want everything and they will let Germany bleed to death in the vain hope that they can im- pone their will, which turns in ev- cry direction, on the rest of the world. 1 Tho German government, so far , , , . as we know, may be sincere, but one , ', , would judge from all that has hap- pened in this war that it is up to its old tricks. If it could fool sen- sible men in the several countries at war. it would impose a peace by ne- gotiation that would leave for a fu- turo generation the task of defend- .r , , . , ing the world against more German aggressions. 1 ' IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW" " Judge Jas. L. Webb has refused to issue a rule holding in contempt of court Assistant District , Attorney Pooling of Nov; York for his fail ure to turn over certain papers de sired to bo retained indefinitely in this state by the attorneys of Gaston P.

General Ifaig's latest drive, ably assisted by the French, came as sud denly as that of last week, and while it did not penetrate as deeply into the German defenses, the blow fell at a point where it will do most good. The Franco-Britisih have driven a circular-like wedge 10 miles wide about six miles deep into the German defenses, striking at the rail- road from Ostend to Lille. This road already is dominated by artillery fire and something should happen here soon. The Germans either will be compelled to make another retreat or sit in the low country and receive the fire of the enemy all winter. Record readers will watch for the Dollar Day number of this paper next Monday with more than ordinary in terest. The advertisements show that the merchants have extended them selves to submit unusual values for this one day, despite the fact that tho goods cost them more than for merly. There will be a big crowd hero next Thursday.

Special at Pastime Thursday October 11th 'THE LONESOME CHAP" FEATURING HOUSE PETERS and LOUISE HUFF A PARAMOUNT PICTURE. AN AMERICAN SCHOONER Springfield Republican. It was hardly to be expected that in this era of steel craft and turbine-driven engines, the American schooner would gain new celebrity m the world's greatest war. Yet the mysterious German raider Seeadler proves to have been the American three-masted schooner Pass of Bal maha 2,800 tons, captured by the Germans on her way from New York to Archangel in August, 1915. It was evident however, that while schooner-rigged, she was equipped, as so many sailing craft have been of late years, with gasoline engines. But the statement that she was able to make 12 knots under power indicates that these engines were put in her by the Germans wrhen fitting her out as a raider. Twelve knots is not high speed in these days, yet it is more than the auxiliary power plant commonly put on a sailing ves sel is able to accomplish. With her sails for ordinary cruisine it is ap parent how the Seadler was able to keep the seas for many months, drawing on her supply of gasoline only when circumstances required. The final destruction of the Seead ler by stranding on Mopeha island in the Pacific is a reminder that the fact German commerce destroyer Carlsruhe, which committed serious depredations in the Atlantic early in the war and showed her heels to British cruisers, also ran on an is land reef in the Caribbean, ac cording to the commonly accepted ptory of her disappearance. The Karlsrhe was a much mroe serious menace than the Seeadler. The Karlsruhe with her 27 knots and com paratively powerful armament able to prey upon main-trnvcl J routes, while the Seeadlerr coul. ' only be of service on the byvny-. rather than the highways, of oeen travel and could only deal iwtk. comparati vely small and unimportant craft. Yet that she should have been, so carefully fitted out for this purpose is anotner examnie oi uerman thoroughness. She could not hope i to sink any big trans-atlantic liners; nevertheless, the vessels which she was able to dispose of in the south Atlantic and later in the Pacific were a net loss from the world's total ton nage available to the allies.

A Metro Won. derplay in five parts. The follow, ing is the story: Thomas Leigh owner of the Leigh Shipyards, is awarded an important government contract. John Gray of the secret service is sent to watch Leigh who the government learns has a criminal record. Gray falls in love with Dorothy, Leighs daugh ter. iHer mother is dead and she ana ner latnet- nave adoptea a little Belgian orphan, Philippe. Through a ruse, Charles Bergeie, a spy of a hostile government, gains the acquaintance of Dorothy. Then he meets and converts Shifty, a good for nothing, who tells him of Leigh's past. Armed with this knowledge, Bergere hopes to foice government plans from Leigh He threatens to tell Leigh's daughter if Leigh does not give up the plans. . Bergere goes to Leighs house to demand the plans as his price for silence. Leigh's better nature tri umphs and he refuses to give them up. Dorothy enters the room and her father tells how his mother died because of his neglect and of his cru el treatment of his wife. He re lates how Dan Varone, a stool pigeon, framed it so that .his' wife would be arrested, of the thrilling fight be tween his gang and that of Vernone in a dance hall which was raided by the police, the fight endine in his being wounded first and then imprisoned. When he got out of jfrison he found that his daughter was all that was left to him. He took the name of Leigh, determined to live straight. and did so. Dorothv has nothing but pity for her father and contempt for Bergere. The latter makes a final play to get the plans by force, but Gray, the government argent, overcomes him, arrests the spy and Shifty tells Gray that the government knows of his past and is proud of him and he wins the a hand of the woman he loves. Bergere and Shilty are killed and truth and justice are rewarded. RIDELESS HORSE WINS THE RACE AND THEN FALLS DEAD Briston, Tenn.-Va., Oct. 10.
