Oct. is. into the gathering of hard-headed busi ness men of the South, men meeting In New York to plan for gieat commercial deelopment. a little note of human sacri fice crept jesterday. It broke down their conventional attitude completely, for they got such a close glimpse of tho war, Its suf ferings itfcd Its IdealN, that they were forced to forgpt business In sensing the greater struggle for humanity. It was Harry Lauder who did It, the stubby little Scotch comedian, whose humor has mado New York laugh, but who, by the war, has been turned Into a speaker who can wring the hearts nf his hearers. Lauder was talking In tho Hotel McAlpin ofthe Of rm an and his cruelty Stephnne Lausanne, representative of the Kiench Ooernment, nat near him; also Dr. Toyo klchl lyenago, Oscar Straus nnd other prominent men. He told of the turning of naked Kngllsh rloncrs loose to go back to their own lines, and then mowing them down with rhnchlno guns "I know that's true," mid I-iuder. 'lie cause my only son told me When I say my son I know you will bellevo me, for ho fought and bled nnd died for France " Ho turned to Mr. Lnusantic and put out his hand as he said Blmplv: "1 love France.

They forgot dollars In listening to the stirring words of Mr. Lausanne and Doctor lyenaga. hailing the former's slogan of "All the Allies for All the War" with cheers and catching the contagion of his national Idealism. "Wo are not lighting for territory, for money up for other material gain," Mr. Lausanno said. "We are fighting for what you hnvo fought and bled and struggled for In this country an Ideal.

Several thousand pebple viewed the ex hibits during the evening after J. Sillier Frazler. president ot the Pennsylvania State Hotel Association, formally opened the exposltlon He said: This exposition must be taken as a tribute to the hotel men. Few people leallze the enormous Influence of this Industry, and while the displays here are fairly representative of hotel life there are a great many other displays which would have been added to the list but for the present war conditions. There weie many extraordinary exhibits, rerhaps the most novel was the model ot the new Commodore Hotel being erected In New York. This perfect model was built at a cost ot (5000. Its Interior Is lighted with electricity. The Hotel Walton had a completely equipped room and bath typical of the rooms which are being added to that hotel.

The medal was struck following tho sink ing of the Cunard liner by n German sub marine, which torpedoed the vessel without warning Friday, May 7, 1915, off the Irish roast with, a loss ot 1195 lives, of which 111 were women and lilnetj-four children the act which moie than any other, aroused American Indignation against tho Prussian Government. The copper-colored memento, designed by K. Goertz, of Munich, was captured from ,i German Hubninrlne commander and taken to London, where it eventually came Into the hands of James Potter, passenger agent of the company. Jt Is two and one-half Inches In diameter and in high relief. Mr. Potter described tho medal as fo" low s : "On one side Is shown tne vessel sinking and on the other the figure of death selling tickets at the office of the steamship com pany. The three German words above the sinking ship 'Kelno Bairn Ware' stand for 'no contraband of war.' Plainly to be seen aro a cannon, an airplane and an armored car occtipj lug tho deck. Although the Lusltanla carried rifle cartildges on her fateful trip. It has been Indisputably ptoved that she carried no weapons of defense or offense, the cannon, airplane and armored car being' pure Invention-." A translation of the legend beneath the ship reads: "Steamship Lusltfinia, sunk by a German submarine May 0. 1915 " "For what reason a dato two dajs prior to the attack was placed on the medal leaves a wide field for conjecture." contin ued Mr. Potter. "At the top ot the re verso hide appears this sentence: "'Geschaft Uber Alles' (busliicts above eveyrthlng.
