like sheer romance. That they are
trvie in every particular.- however, no
one doubts who is familiar with the
youth's reputation for veracity, while
the letter received some tiii}e ago by
his father from the Norwegian shipping
firm announcing that his son
was detained in the German capita!
following his capture as the result
of the sinking of the Storskog by a
submarine bears out the lad's stirring
narative of shipwreck in the
treacherous waters of the war zone.
Young .Moore as a lad of 15 left
York three years ago and after drifting
from point to point in the North
finallv shiDued from Newport News,
Va., as an able seaman on a vessel
bound for France. After crossing
the Atlantic he made voyages to various
pairts of the world under the
flags of several different nations. He
experienced many vicissitudes, but
nothing specially out of the ordi'
nary occurred until Feoruary S, when
the freighter, Storskog, on which he
was an able seaman and the only
American on board, was torpedoed
by a German u-boat. The vessel was
carrying.a cargo or grain and was
bound from Buenos Ayres to Queenstown.
The story of what happened
is best told in Moore's own words:
"It was about midday when the
torpedo crashed against our ship and
I was sound asleep. The explosion
was terrific and, of course, awoke me
instantly. The vessel seemed blown
clear out of the water and then settled
"down, listing heavily forward.
Everybody was excited, but there was
no panic. A hurried attempt was made
to launch the six lifeboats, but three
were crushed against the sides of the
ship. The other three were successfully
launched and all of us, with the
engineers and firemen, crowded in.
"We pulled clear of the sinking
ship, which was now being .shelled by
the submarine and in a few minutes
it went to the bottom. After the
Storskog had been disposed of the
u-boat turned her attention to the
life boats. All three were wrecked
in as many shots and the first thing
I knew I was struggling in the water,
which seemed icy cold and chilled me
through and through. Why they did
it, I will never know, but maybe the .
sight of us struggling for life in the
water caused the Germans to relent
a little, for seven of us, gasping and .
benumbed, were taken aboard the
submersible. The only injury I suf- j
fered during the affair was a bruise ]
to my right knee which still causes <
me to limp a little. 5
! ^We were treated fairly well on ]
the U-60, being given a fair allow- i
ance of bread and water twice a day. (
We were closely guarded and given
no opportunity to do any harm, even <
if we had been so inclined. Their j
fare s^med almost as meagre as \
ours, though they had a few sweets
to give variety. Nearly every mem- t
ber of the crew of 33 men could ^
speak English and the commander <
hajl lived in the United States sev- t
eral years, could discourse in our i
language almost as fluently as an i
American. The Germans were not q
averse to talking to us, but could not i
be induced to discuss the war. De- (
^ spite our crowded quarters and em- (
barrassing predicament, we were not t
as uncomfortable as might be imagin- j
ed, though I could not say that life t
on a u-boat is especially attractive. s

for vessels. They found them, too, (
and in the 23 days that we were <
aboard the u-boat,/11 were torpe- j
doed. None of them made any re- (
sistance. At last, after life in our <
new quarters had become monoto
nous and irksome to us, the subma- ]
rine ran into the harbor of Heligo- 1
land. At this place we were put :

INVINCIBLE DEMOCRACY.
How the President's War Message
Has Stirred the World.
| President Wilson's war speech is
J ;
to he read in every school in France, j
It is publicly posted in France and
Italy. It was hailed as a charter of;
democracy in Britain, which before
the war was fast becoming a republic
in all but name. Supplementing the
revolution and followed by our own j
declaration of irreconcfliable Rus-|l
sia. a sister nation in the creed that
"the world must be made safe for
democracy." The anxious small powers
now see in it safety from greedy
neighbors.
Such ferment of thought as makes
these times worth living in. despite
the shock of battle and rapine, could
not leave Germany unmoved. The
speech, garbled at first, has now been
printed there, as they say. in full.
What effect it is expected to have is
shown by the futile rage with which
the obedient press receives it and the
epithets with which they pelt its author.
America was not forgitten if the
emperor really bade the chancellor
prepare plans for liberalizing the
Prussian electoral system, including
the upper chamber of the reactionary
diet. But the inevitable reforms are
to be deferred until "the home com- <
ing warriors" can "join in the counsel
and the voting on the progress
of the new order."
Delay until the war ends may
prove impracticable. German Lib- '
erals know how reforms promised in
1S4S were snatched away. Longing
for peace., the most powerful motive,
spreads the new ideas. The United
States has i}o quarrel with the Ger- i
man people. New Russia borrows |
our phrases to hold out the olive .
branch to German democracy on the
basis of racial freedom. Soldiers in
q
the trench.es put the case tersely in
big: sogns/for the enemy to read:
"Get Rid of Your Kaiser!" t
The kaiser has no idea that Ger- 1
many can dispense with him. His J*
champions propose a "Yolkskonig- ]
turn" or popular monarchy, not yef
defined. Nothing hastens action like T
events. Democracy is swiftly be- J
coming invincible. Germany, at i
heart, must be facing the fact.?New
