SEES WAR FOR US IF GERMANY WINS PINCHOT THINKS LUSITANIA TRAGEDY HAS AWAKEN ED AMERICA ALLIES' VICTORY WOULD BE OURS Say? They Are Fighting for thc Principles for Which the United State? Stand?, Milford. Penn., May '?2.-In a Maternent Issued here today Gifford Tim hot, who recently returned from Europe, ?aid: "What ii ri Urs nie mont on getting hack from Europe is that the dellb erste murder of men, women and chil dren on the Lusitania has brought the war home to the i nited States. I do not believe that our people have real ized until now what this war ls, or what lt means to us. The right of mon to ruc themselves is at stake. '?ur countrymen on the Lusitania were killed because an autocratic military empire ls trying to seize the domina Hon of the world at the expense of the self-governing nations. "This war ?B a death struggle be tween- democrat:w on the other. France Is our sister republic, England is a great and free democracy. Russia is a great and free democracy,. Russia itself ls on the high road toward de mocratic government. Germany, on thc other hand, is not ruled hy the people, but hy Prussia and the Kaiser. The victory of Germany wobld not be tho victory of hei- people, but the successful effort of a restrict ed military caste to get more power. Bernhardt expressed the belief of thlB caste when he said that Germany must control the world or go under. "If the people did rule in Germany the invasion of Belgium, the calculat ed atrocities committed on helpless people, and the murder of our own citizens would not havto taken placo. The people of Germany would never have done theBe things of their own accord; they were done because they >were ordered to be done by military autocrats. In remorse, for killing a woman and a child. a wounded German said to .his nurse, sister-in-law of a man 1 know. Do you supposo ll makes any difference thnt my officer held his pistol to my head until 1 did It? "If the German war lord should win, which lt has long been evident he can not do, we should have to face the certainty of a conflict with German militarism because we should stand between it and world empire Just as the allies do today. We should then bc forced either to have our rights treated ?fa thu rights of humanity have been treated by the ruling Ger man military class in this war, or to defend them. Wc should have to take our turn tn protecting the principle of self-government againt imperialism in arms or lose our self-respect. In that event, of course, we should have to fight. "Out if the allies win no such choice will be forced upon us. Their success will not mean war- tor the United States. On thc contrary, lt will mean victory for the free Institutions which wc hold dear and thc chance for every nation to work out its own destiny in peaco. Thc allies are fighting for the principles for which wc stand, and out* people' are eight in hoping and believ ing that they will win. It ls almost as important for us that they should win as lt ls for tho allies themselves. "The worst calamity this war could bring upon tho world, next to the suc cess of military imperialism, would be a half-baked, inconclusive peace-a peace which would permit the Ger man military class to get ready for a second attempt to dominate the world. That kind ot peace would do nothing but Insuro another war. We want a just and lasting peace, and not a mere Intermission In the fighting." Rifle Thai Shoots Around a Corner. A rlflo that shoots; ovir Ute parapet whllo the user sits in comparative safety In tho trench wtthout necessity for exposing himself to the fire of the enemy Is a late invention brought out by a well known sportsman and de scribed, with Illustration, in the June Popular Mechanics Magasine. Thc feature of this invention ls that the rifle ls held vertically while the pro jectile is fired horizontally. This is accomplished by a curved deflecting tube, fixed jo the muzzle of the gun, that changes the course of the pro jectile from the evrtlcal to the hori zontal as it leaves the gun. In spite of tho enormous friction that ";ust accompany this change of direction, the tube, as shown by. actual tests, Is not subject to excessive wear,.while the effective range of a'rifle equipped with this device la between 100 and 150 yards.

The Serbians aro a grateful people, and they have boon deeply touched by the help which America has given, especially since they have no claim on that help. The name of the United iStntos will smell sweet In unhappy places-and one of them ls Serblu. "Wc may succeed in saving the peo ple If the help ls kept up. We In England moan to keep it up. and I am sure Americans dn. It is ali the more necessary now. because If wc cannot get tho refugees living In tents,, get them new clothes, and provide sanita tion, cholera will coma when the warm weather arrives. They cannot prevent it themselves. You must re member that the. ordinary Serbian hospital is an old tobacco shop or an old stable, where there arc no beds or bedding, and where the wounded ond sick must lie lu the clothes they came in." . Mr. Trevelyan had been Introduced by Brock Trowbridge, chairman of the ? Serbian Agrlcultral Relief Com mittee, who aaid that, although Amer icans had been loath to* bel love that the reported atrocities were more than the acts of individual drunken soldiers, the loss of tho Lu-.'tan! i and the Bryce report made them ac cepted now us part of u definite policy of terrorizing. . Miss Helen Lozanltch, a Seri, i who came here to organize relief under the sanction of her government, sppke briefly of her experiences as a volunteer nurse in Nish during thc early part of the war. "There were times," she said, "when we could not- make bandages for thc wounded because of lack of material. I worked as a. volunteer nurse, as did others, because there are no trained nurses.! Many times we did not have milk, eggs, or meat with which. to make light soups for our patients, and it waa terrible to think wo were caring for those In valids and yet were not able to get the absolute necessities they requir ed. Nish is a town of about 80,000 population ordinarily, and now there are many more than 100,000 there? and it is this that causes 'the sickness and the lack of food. . "The need of the refugees is great. Any help they get Immediately will be two or three timon a8 valuable as If lt came a few months! ter. If t" .> typhus Is to be stamped out-we must' go around making the people burn up their furniture and clothes and live in tents, and if you.tell them to-do that you must have something tp give In place ot what is destroyed." SMALL TAX ON CURRANT WINE Leas Than Fenny \ Bottle French Claret Tu Will be Fifty Cents. London, May 22.-Currant wine made In England, often with an alco holic strength aa high at 27 degrees, pays a tax' of less than a penny a bot tle for the sugar used, while light French clareta would, under the pro posed liquor tax bill, pay fifty cants a bottle. Californian and. AustifcUan wines suffer the same handicap as the Preach, for by au . anomaly of the proposed law, current wine., which must contain a heavy i percentage - ot alcohol as a preservative, nevertheless seems to be classed as ? teetotal drink. Australian wines have been under a heavy disadvantage In England for a long time. Owing to tho long_yoyage. colonial hock baa been shipped in bottles while German hock has hean imported In bulk. Owing to the -dif ference in duty between bulk and bot tled gooda, colonial wine has had to pay nearly double tho duty chavged on German wine. * COMMENCEMENT AT v COLUMB^COLLEGE Begins Friday Evening* May 28, With Play by Senior Class.
