"Thi3 speech has been called *Flght Through or Pall Through,' The subsidized German-American ppess has attacked me for referring to the submarine warfare of the imperial German government as acts of piracy, on the ground that these boats as the commissioned vessels at a government, can not commit, acts of piracy. "Can they? Let us turn to the dictionary. Here we find piracy to be 'an act of robbery or depredation | eommitted on the high seas without: authority from some civillzod gov- j rnment.' j "Can a nation 'that has plunged this world into a war that it did not want, and that has committed the t acts of atrocity that have been com- t mitted by the German submarines be t called civilized? - t s "I shall not refer to the 'Imperial t * government of Germany,-' but I have > aa expression of my own that fills c the requirement, from both a de- i p=== I Mt II STARTING SAT II a-little over a wc || emphasises in th< || wonderful valuer Plain Pumps Already there is an e anticipated months ago splendid variety of stylei leather in black Russia heel also straight heel at 1-.

The crew and pass- 1 mgers sought the lifebdats, and one * ?oat manned by officers and men of 1 he sinking merchantman was sum- 4 moned to approach the submarine. * rhe British obeyed for they knew :hat. to refuse meant to be blown to < pieces. i "They were orderod to climb on 1 the boat. The captain was sent be- 1 low a prisoner, while the others were tiuddled on the forward deck, their i boat destroyed, and then the submarine slowly submerged, leaving the rorty helpless captives to be washed Into the seg, and of that forty, thirtysight were drowned. Is not that piracy? "In February a submarine was disabled and brought*- to the verge of sinking by two American gunboats. The crew of the sinking pirate swarmed to. the deck, waiving their arms and shouting 'Kamerad,' and then dived into the water and swam toward *the American boats. * "These pirates were helpless on board, some so weak that it was necessary to throw out ropes to help them on board and one so near complete exhaustion that two American seamen sprang into the water and lifted him on board. They were taken below and given warm food and dry clothes. That is the difference in spirit between the German and American navies. "Germany prepared for this war long before there was an ostensible excuse for hostilities. In the summer or 1914, before the crown prince of Austria had been assassinated, I saw In Luxembourg, from whence the first attack was made against neutral countries, German troops roll in by every train. "While Ashing in a qutet little stream with some German friends, ^ Inquired why so many troops were mobilizing, and my German friends said that they were giving the soldiers a change of air, and that the air was very good at this particular place. "France at the outbreak of the war had a comparatively strong army, but it was in a stale of reorganization and was not concentrated.
