IRVIN COBB TELLS
OF WAR TRAGEDY
Brings Tears to Crowd in Re
vealing What Red Cross
Women Do
Philadelphia, April 16.—Patriotic
outbursts of applause alternating with
suppressed sobbing frequently Inter
rupted the talk given by Irvin S. Cobb,
the noted war correspondent and
writer. "Thrice Is He Armed That
Hath His Quarrel Just" was his sub
ject.
The lecture was under the auspices
of the Independence Square Auxiliary
of the Southeastern Chapter of the
American Red Cross. Mr. Cobb made
an earnest plea for assistance for the
Red Cross.
He said: I think people in peace,
notably many women —I know this
from my own observation in Europe—
have a mistaken idea of what the work
devolving upon the Red Cross, both at
home and on the bttle front, means.
I used to think the conception of
the average women before the lesson
was brought home to her was that she
wore a most becoming and spotless
white uniform, and in a beautiful hos
pital, filled with the perfume of flow
ers, she ministered to the wants of a
hero who looked something like

Harrisburg Druggists Give an
Apt Illustration
THEIR VIEWS ON VINOL
WORTH LEARNING
This Is the Preparation That Is Bclna:
Much Talked About
A reporter asked in talking with the
druggists whose names arc appended
to this article the same question that
hundreds have asked the last few
years, "Just tell me precisely, please,
why Vinol is better than cod liver
oil Y"
One of the druggists mentioned be
low voiced the sentiment of all when
he replied in his genial way, "You
have given me a rather difficult task.
I can explain to you in a few minutes
the advantages of Vinol, but to do it in
a half dozen words would hardly be
possible. Perhaps 1 can illustrate its
value, however, in a brief manner. Sup
pose you had never seen a hen's egg.
A man who knew of them should tell
you to eat three every day. 1 do
not say that you would, mind you, but
1 am inclined to believe at the start
you would make an heroic effort to
get away with the whole thing, shell
and all. The meat of the egg would
be what you needed, the shell rather
superfluous. In fact, as a matter of
nourishment not quite the thing for
your stomach.
"There you are with cod liver oil. In
it .vou have a medicine, or rather in
th-> liver of a live cod there Is a med
icine known to be valuable for certain
forms of disease, a great strength cre
ator and tonic reconstructor. Doctors
have administered it for years. They
were like the man who had never seen
an egg before. They gave it to their
patients, just as they found it, shell
and all. Yes, that is exactly It. The
grease was useless and as bad for the
stomach, almost as would have been |
the shell of the egg. The kernel, or
the meat of the remedy, the vital prin
ciples that they were after, were con
tained in It. Science has stepped In
nnd done exactly what the man with
the egg might have done—found a
way to separate the healthful interior
from the worthless husk.
"Now we have the active' medical
principles of the cod's liver. We have
thrown away the useless encumbrances
that formerly encloaked it. namely,
the objectionable fat. We have taken
this extract, placed it in a delicious
table wine added boef peptone, Iron
and manganese peptonates and
glycerophosphates ai . , ncre .vou are.
Patients who have needed cod liver oil
and could not take it, have no trouble
in taking Vinol. Why, you would en- 1
joy drinking It yourself, so pleasant is I
it, If I did not tell you it was any
thing but a mild table wine. If you
needed It. however, for a medicine, you
would soon find it to be something dif
ferent. The medifdnal properties of
the cod's liver together with the other
ingredients above named, create
strength and revitalize weak, run
down, debilitated, feeble old people,
delicate children and as a constitu
tional remedy for chronic coughs,
colds and bronchitis there is nothing
like it, and the same principles give
strength to the weakened digestion
and enable the poor sufferer's worn
out stomach to digest nnd obtain nu
triment from everyday food.
"Yes, I am glad to have you come
any time that you care to learn any
thing more about Vinol. It has al
ready proved itself to be a winner.

WEDNESDAY EVENING,
Hackett, but more like Faversham,
wearing about his brow a slightly
blood-apotted bandage.
I saw the actual fact In stables
crawling with vermin and heaped
with the accumulated filth of months
and with the unutterable odors of the
living flesh that rotted on the dead
bones. I saw noble women, tired
and bedraggled, and worn and weary,
doing the most nauseous, the most
self-sacrificing, the most noble things
any human being could be called
upon to perform. I never knew that
a slop jar could be as sacred as an
altar vessel until I saw it carried from
the side of a dying soldier by a tired,
weary woman.
I saw in one hospital at the front,
three women engaged in a common
service, and one, they told me, was a
countess, a nobly-born woman, no
longer young, and plainly not strong,
but to the best of her ability and to
the limit of her strength doing what
ever service she might be called upon
to do. The second member of the
trio, and the head of the force, was a
professional trained nurse, and to her,
1 suppose, this was part of the routine
of her avocation, although she was
bringing to it a full measure of mercy
and kindness to tlie poor, stricken
fragments of humanity lying there.
And the third was a prostitute from
the city sidewalks, whose lover was at
the front, and she, too, had volun
teered, and, wearing, the same uni
form and sharing the same fortune,
for the time being, as her more fa
vored sisters, on tlie same social level
with the others, she was doing with
them those beautiful services for the
afflicted.
And the old doctor looked at that j
woman, and said to me, "My son; in
this war every day somewhere, over |
and over again, the story of Mary j
Magdalene is repeated."
Must Expect Some Losses
Personally, I confess I have not
much sympathy with the people who
believe —and there are many of us
who do believe it—that we can go to
war against another nation and not
have war made on us in return. If
vou knew something of the spirit be
hind all'wars, and particularly the
spirit behind Germany in this war,
you would know that that cannot be.
We have got to give a measure of
our manhood to die on the field.
Without the shedding of blood there
is no remission of sins. And every
one here, and every man and every;
woman and every child in America is i
going to have to give, and give, and
give, and keep on giving. I have no j
doubt that there are mothers in this j
audience who will give their sons to ;
die for their country, and sisters who j
will send their brothers to death, and I
every one of us who does not go to j
the front must serve behind the lines, j
either in money or in the work of our
hands, or in that which means more j
to a nation in peril than any material i
force, in whole-hearted loyalty to our i
flag, our President, our soldiers and |
our country.
It was because I did see what war
meant in Europe and some things so
unutteralJly horrible that I dare not
try to tell them, and because I realized
then as I never had realized before j
that given similar conditions and a i
similar foe to fight, our soldiers might j
suffer what I had seen the soldiers of •
Belgium and France suffering, and;
our own American people, might be
visited by the same afflictions which
lie so heavily on poor little Belgium,
that I. who am the son of a soldier
and the grandson of a soldier, and |
had been brought up to believe mill- |
tary service might be a beautiful and |
noble and glorious thing, came home j
cured forever of that delusion, and j
because I did come home cured and
hwause I realized tliat the country
which puts itself into the state of a
large, ripe, rich flabby oyster without!
a shell, is only inviting qu'-k destruc- j
tion, and because I realiztu that the j
best life insurance ever conceived was,
a state of complete preparedness
I against the other contingency, im
bued with the idea that our country,
not to make war, but to keep it away,
should have the best army, the best
navy, the strongest coast defenses
American dollars could buy and
American manhood could man.
Conduct Efficient Warfare
And still another thing we must re
member is this: We must remember
that to the German —T have no word
of reproach for the German soldier;
99 per cent, of the German soldiers I
saw at the front struck me as being
courageous, manly men, and by the
same token 99 per cent, of their of
ficers were what we call rotters —but
we have got to remember that, train
ed as they are in the system in which
they are trained, war to them is not a
time for mushy hysteria, not for wav
ing the flag, but conducting warfare
after the most efficient and incidental
ly the most barbarous and the most
thorough-going fashien ever devised.
And should the Germans succeed In
invading our country, as they might, I
can imagine a picture like this—and
it is not beyond the bounds of imag
ination to conceive it; it is shown by
the facts of what has been done in
Europe —I can see the mayor or the
congressman or the leading citizens,
the principal clergymen of some
Pennsylvania town held as hostages,
to be shot against the wall should an
other John Burns get out his gun and
tight for his home and fireside; and
did another Barbara Friotchie lean
from the casement and wave the flag
of her own country in the face of the

FEATURES OF MARKET
United States and Bethlehem Steel, Republic Iron and
Anaconda Copper Higher With Upward' Tendencies
Registered by Other Leaders
New York, April 18.— (Wall Street)-r-
Rails were the strong features at the
irregular opening of to-day's market, g
Beading and leading Pacifies rising a j
point or more while some of the minor
issues of that division notably Pitts- j
burgh and West Virginia common and c
preferred, also made striking gains, j
Other leaders, including U. S. Steel, ?
Bethlehem Steel, Republic Iron and An- s
aconda Copper, were higher by half a
point to a full point, with heavy ten- j
dencles in Utah Copper, Industrial Ai- J
cohol and Distillers' Securities. The
motor group was again heavy to weak. J
Changes in shipings were slight but
Ohio gas gained over four points.
The uncertain tone of the morning's r
trading which was marked by alter- J
nate rallies and declines, left little i
doubt of its speculative character.
Prices became moderately unsettled '
soon after the opening on the set back J
in motors but hardened again on a
general inquiry for steels, except |
Sloss-Sheffleld, which lost 3% points r
on the passing of the dividend. Rails, :
oils and shippings also improved and '
Utah Copper more than recovered its i
early loss, Ohio Gas meanwhile ex- |
tending its gain to 5%. This was off- j
set by a break of 6 % points in Detroit I
Edison Company. At midday most j
gains were largely surrendered. Bonds ;
were steady.

invader, I promise you, from what 1 j
have seen, that if it were a Prussian
Stonewall Jackson they would shoot j
her old gray head. And an American
Molly Pitcher, serving the gun at
which her husband was killed, would
be shot on the spot if she were cap
tured: for what we in America call
acts of patriotism they call acts of the
franc tlreur and punish with instant
death. ,
And that is the enemy we fight to
dav, and he is going to employ against
us the same methods and the same re
lentlessness as against those countries
over yonder. •
Mr. Cobb told of his experiences in
the war zone, many of them humor
ous, many of them pathetic. He told
of how he and another "were caught
and brought before" a German gen-
I eral who "had so many medals on
that he made John Philip Sousa look i
positively nude." And of another be
speckled individual, all covered with
medals, "who was the fourth son of
the Kaiser" and whose "pictures look
just about as inntellectual as he
looks." "And let me tell you another
thing about the family," he said.
"That family is the only prominent
one in Europe that so rar has not lost
one of its members.. Draw your own
conclusions."
He told of a trip In "a prison
train." in which he "slept in the aisle,
and was continually annoyed by
strangers, whom I really did not know
at all. walking all over me," and of
how, outside of Louvain, an old priest
said that, "Your great and wonderful j
country will not permit them to wipe I
my little country from the face of the I
earth." He told of the murder of the
little Belgian girl, who, after her fam- |
ily had fled, stuck to her post, tele-1
phoning information ,to her nation's
army. "And that is just the way they I
would treat our own girls if they ever
get the chance," he said.
"What I want, to see now," he said
in concluding his address, "is Old
Glory floating over a trench In Flan
ders. I want to go and see. There is
an obstacle in the persons to whom
I am closely related by marriage. But
I will do my bit. We all must. That
cablegram," he said, referring to the
Northcllffe message, "now shows that
hands across the seas is a fact. We
are in it, and we are going to win."
The stage was draped with Ameri
can and Red Cross flags, and Boy
Scouts stood about it at attention. At
the conclusion rousing cheers for
Cobb were given, and the "Star
Spangled Banner" was sung by the
entire assemblage.
