France’s war mission, headed by
Rene Viviani, Marshal Joffte and
Admiral Chocheprat, spent more
than a half hour on the floor of the
Senate Tuesday and stirred that
body and galleries crowded to ca
pacity, first to vigorous applause and
then to roars of cheers.
After the senators and members
of the House had grasped the hands
of the distinguished visitors and>M.
Viyiani, vice premier and leader of
the mission, had delivered an ad
dress that thrilled his hearer^, the
greatest outburst of enthusiasm
came. It was a tribute to the hero
of the Marne, who in response to
rousing cries of "Joffre! Joffre!
Joffre!” responded with eight words
of French and English which all un
derstood: >
“I do not speak English. Vive

“ED’’ KKABNEV, A
WITH A CAREEB OF STRANGE
CONTRADICTIONS, ^VHO BLEW
OUT A PRISON W’ALIa AND LIB
ERATED HIS COMRADES IN
CRIME. /
Ed Kearney was an all round bad
man. In the language of several
post office inspectors who had track
ed him for years, he was one of the
^-orst men ever designated as a yegg-
man. He was cool, calculating and
as shrewd as the shrewdest of that
little hand of thief takers maintained
by the Post Office Department.
Bad at heart and as unscrupulous
as it was possible for a man to be.
yet there was an innate love of fair
play—perhaps a sporting instinct-^-
about him which endeared him to
friend., and foe alike. Even those
who spent years in pur-juing him—
olten risking, their lives in the chase
- high when they mention his name,
and after telling of his vicious traits
always conclude with this:—"But he
was a man a man and every Inch
of one ’*
With "Prftnrou "Slim and aeverml
other yegg celebrities Kearney rob

; die. to he concluded that his beat
j chance lay In extractfng the explo
sive properties from It. reducing .It
to nitroglycerine and thereby mlnl-
I mixing Its bulk. This was a task he
was thoroughly familiar with and a
simple one were he at large/ ' But
to do this within the narrow confines
of his cell, where he well knew a
vigilant guard was at all times with
in a few feet pf. him, was.anolher
matter. To reduce this dynamite to
'♦VKtifP* nitroglycerine was a long and dell-
ente operation. First a vessel con
taining boiling water ^rnust be pro
cured, and furthermore the water
would have to be kept at the boiling
point for at least an hour. As the
water boiled the sticks of dynamite
were whittled or shaved down to al
most powder form and then wrapped
in a gauze cloth. This gauze bag
was then immersed in the boiling
water and held there until there cov
ered the surface of the water a thick,
gummy scum, which emitted a sick
ening sweet odor. That scum which
arose to the surface of the water
was the nitroglycerine, and from be
neath it the water must be drawn
off. This was readily accomplished
and the remaining solution transfer
red to a rubber bag for safe’keeping
until such time as Kearney was ready
to spring his mine..
Meanwhile "Hutch" selected the
men he Intended to let Into his se
cret. There were an even docen to
whom he confided. To each he swore
that H there was the slightest leak
of what he intended to do he would
square accounts by blowing the en
tire ffrlson and every man In It Into
eternity before he would run the risk
of being cnlled before the warden
and confronted with the additional
charge of plotting to deliver the prte-
»n and Its wards. All wer# sworn to

Aa tha editor of a large Uhlcago
paper remarked: “If the embalmed
hcef scandal is repeated. If typhoid
camps are erected again and If men
a
willing to sacrifice thenitfidves for
the cause are sacrificed without
cause, the Jacts will be told and the
responsible editors will accept the
penalty."
The duty of an. editor is clear and
the majority of them will follow it,
regardjess of punishment. Patriot
ism demands certain concessions, but
it also demands even stronger pro
tection of the people against ignor
ance and rincompetency anywhere.
The editor who neglects this duty
will be more cowardly a creature
than the man who refuses to should

The definite admission of Sir Ed
ward t ar-on, fir*t lord of the ad

ha* increased,.If possible, the anxi
ous interest of the pt;ess in the pro
gress of the submarine war.
The subject is djscu^sed in all v
aspects In the newspapers. The
Daily K’ewg ami The Daily Mail ...
call for more publicity on the sub
ject. The Daily News says it would
be far wiser for the government to
take the country into its confidence,
explain the actual situation and then
call upon the people for any sacri
fice that it deemed necessary. The
Daily Mail. In making a like de
mand. declares that anything else
will destroy confidence in the gov
ernment itself.
The Times asserts that the effort*;
of the ministry to emphasize the
gravity of .the situation is largely
nullified by misleading official re
turns and that the situation can not
be fully -faced by the nation unless
the necessities of the case are plain
ly understood. . - .
Nobody, says Tbe Times, believes
♦hal there is a risk of panic fror/l
knowledge of the truth. The real
danger, it adds, is Rst the public

remarkable stories -of the strenuous
exploits of the U-boats,, which are

fashioned submarines with a length
of about 120 feet.

marine wore an elaborate disguise
of s fishing host. This- submarine
carried a gun which had a range of
nearly five miles. In at least two
