MUST FIGHT ON,
SAYSJJMOOT
Wisconsin Senator Preaches
Loyalty at Gathering
of Jews
"?lew Tork. United States
Senator Irvine Lather Lenroot, who i
led the fight against Senator La Fol-
Jette In Wisconsin during the recent
orimary election. In which 100 per
loyalty was made the main is
sue. and who won the fight handily,
spoke before the Institutional Syna
gogue, One Hundred and Sixteenth
street and Fifth t"enue. The talk
was on the subject of "War."
The audience frequently interrupt
ed the Senator to applaud his senti
ment*. He got a round of hand
clapping when he said that "the
man who. coming to this country,
sees the Statue of Liberty for the
first time can be as good a patriot
ns the man who is born here." and
still more when he said that "the
man who led the fight for war legis
lation In the Congress was born in
Germany. He was Representative
Julius Kahn, of California."
There are manv other men, he
• said, who are patriotically serving
in the Congress whose home lands
were Germany, Bohemia, Russia.
Treland and other countries, and he
remarked that his own parents came
to America sixty-three years ago "to
find a greater freedom and and op
portunity for their children."
"The present war is the greatest of
all wars and It must be fought out
until it Is won. We are more and
more realizing that this war was not
waged primarily for the making of
the world safe for democracy, al
though It was waged for that, too;
that It was not entered to save Bet
glum, although it was fought for
that, too; that it was not entered
into to give to the small states the
right to erovern themselves, and it
was fo-?Wt for that too. Primarily,
it was a war to .ave American ideals.
"Germany autocracy must
crushed and we must never permit a
peace negotiated by the Kaiser. He
knows no law, human or divine. We
cannot think of peace until the Ger
man people themselves take such
measures as will control their own
government.
"A man without a country in
America is a man who is a grafter,
even if his ancestors fought in the
Revolutionary war. He is without a
country if he votes against the best
interests of this country.
"Some people of alleged high
ideals would withdraw our troops
and stop the war. They tried this
in Russia. Any Socialist in the Unit
ed States who knows this and is not
willing to fight this wir in every
particular is not a good American."

Searchlights Rack
Nerves of Airmen
London.— Searchlights are the
most nerve-racking enemy which
the airplane pilot has to face In
night flying, writes an airman in the
"Dally Mail."
"Searchlights are cruel things," he
savs, "are far harder on the nerves
than high explosive or shrapnel.
They seem so altve, as though they
have volition of their own and were
great arms stretched out across the
night, sweeping the darkness with
an eager desire to find their quarry.
"Perhaps the airman is flying
placidly over the enemy territory in
an area which he knows has been
hitherto undefended. Suddenly he
sees immediately in front of him a
beam of light moving up and down,
up and down.
"Nearer and nearer it moves to
wards him, weaving its way in wide
sweeps across the sky until it flashes
over him, and for a moment the ma
• hine is lit up and he Is conscious of
a great pool of intensely brilliant
light, in which he seems to swim,
and then it passes beyond him—but
remains very near the machine.
"The pilot throttles his engine and
turns slightly u he glides silently
down the night. The beam is, as It
were, puzzled, and moves slowly be
hind him as he glides farther and
farther on, and soon he has left It a
long distance behind him.
"He goes on, light-hearted again
for the moment, feeling as a mouse
must do when It has been cornered
by a cat and has been playfully tap
ped a few times by a heavy paw, and
has then, by a sudden move of
strategy, managed to escape to the
safety of Its hole."
Five Men Dead; Believed
to Have Drank Alcohol
Windsor, Ont.—Five men are dead
here from poisoning caused, it is be
lieved by the police, by denatured
alcohol In nearbeer. The men are
• "harles McArthur. Dennis Foley,
William Ryan, Augustus Phillips and
Joseph Ryan.
The men were together on Thurs
day night, the police say, and either
drank the alcohol or put it in near
beer. The body of McArthur was
found at a hotel shortly after mid
night. Foley was stricken shortly
afterward. After Foley's death the
physician who attended him was
called by Ryan, who was found to be
suffering from a similar ailment,
dying in the afternoon. Phillips,
who assisted in taking Ryan to a
hospital, waii stricken the next morn
ing. dying a few hours later.

VORTH TEN IN HVJ
KAISER PLEASED
WITH NEW GUN
Sends His Congratulations to
Krupp For Succcess of the
Long-Range Cannon
London.—The Kaiser has tele
graphed to Krupps:
"Your new gun has stood the test
brilliantly by the bombardment of
Paris from a distance of well over
100 kilometers. With the construc
tion of this gun you have added a
new and glorious page to the history
of the house of Krupp. I, therefore,
express to you and to all collabora
tors my imperial thanks for this
demonstration of German science and
German Bpirit."
The gun is discussed by General
Rohne—& German artillery expert—
in the Vosslsche Zeltung. He says:
"The Initial velocity of the projec
tile must be 4,500 feet a second, the
weight of it must be 600 pounds, and
600 pounds of powder must be used'
for every projectile, if not another
and more powerful material is used, j
A shell which travels seventy-five'
miles reaches a height of about nine- j
teen miles and passes through a very
thin stratum of air.
"It is of great importance that
these cannot can be placed behind
woods without the shell grazing the
tops of the trees. Moreover, the can
non cannot be detected by enemy
airmen. The projectile takes per
haps two and a half or three min
utes to run seventy-five miles, and
the explosion takes place one mijnute
later."
All Claim Creillt
Humorous enough Is the effect pro
duced by the bombardment in Allied
ordnance circles: "I told you so,"
says one, with satisfaction; another:
"Why, of course, we've had the idea
tor years, but —": and yet another:
"It's one of my own Idea* xhe Ger
mans have Improved upon. I sub
mitted it to the War Office, only —"
There has been tremendous specu
lation regarding the new weapon.
The view la generally accepted that
the great range is due partly to the
fact that the shell is rifled as well
as the cannon, the barrel of which
might be 260 feet long. A high
British authority, who is an expert
In gunnery, informed a newspaper
man that in his opinion the German
scientists have discovered some new
method of propelling sheila exceeding
the strength of cordite. "It is pos
sible that they are utilizing liquid
air or hydraulic power or something
of that form, but it is impossible to
say definitely."
Another gunnery expert said that
the shelling of Paris had raised an
absorbing problem which was being
carefully examined. There were'
many theories regarding the myste
rious weapen, he said, but the view
inclined to was that the enemy had
made a gun of enormous length and
high muzzle velocity, or that he had
adopted what Is known as the rocket
system, and had Inclosed a number
of shells of diminishing size within
each other.

Soldier Asks Waitress
to Wed Him After War
St. IJOUIS.— Often there Is time for
a waitress to hear the whole life
history of a customer while he con
sumes his order. Of course, some
waitresses and some custodiers make
better use of the time than others.
One soldier, while getting outside
an order of four hard-boiled eggs,
delivered himself of a proposal of
marriage. His home was on a farm
In Oklahoma, he said, and it has
been a bum farm until they struck
oil in the midst of It.
"Now," he said, "X have a house
worth $3,500 and I have an income
of 1100 a day from my oil wells."
"My goodneM!" exclaimed the
waitress, "I wonder they ever let you
escape. I mean, I wonder you *r
not married."
"Well, I would be," responded the
soldier, "but the trouble is all you
good looking women are already
married."
"Not all. of us; some of UB are
widows. Don't you like widows?"
volunteered the waitress.
"You bet I do," he replied heart
ily, and with equal alacrity he ask<vl,
"Are you a widow?"
"Yes, I am a widow," admitted the
waitress.
"Well,•I'll be—well, I'm coming
back after the war and see if you are
still & widow."

i personal efforts of Peter Norbeck,
Governor of South Dakota, a num
ber of the convicts In the Sioux Falls
i Penitentiary are being 'given useful
employment outsfile the prison walls.
A number of the more trustworthy

i services are being utilized in beauti
fying a state game preserve which
is situated in the most romantic and
most picturesque portion of the
Black Hills.

ditions of the semlliberty will b vio
lated. The convicts are being em
ployed In the construction of roads
through the game preserve and in
the erection of buildings and the
making of other improvements in
the preserve. Plans for the improve,
