A THR i'l LING STORY
I (Continued from page 1)
Now this seemed bitterly wrong. These passengers had paid their good money for return passage. They had consented to take inferior accomoda¬ tions. Many of nhem had expended their last shilling to reach tbe boat. But the same thing happened at both Liverpool and Southampton. But sup pose we put ourselves In the place ol the government, then we see It wat one of the things made necessary by the exigencies of war. Liners are obliged to have a large amount ot food and supplies. Every provision must be made for the accomodation of flve thousand souls. This is no slight task, and their reasonable safe ty must be looked after also. Thest conditions could not be complied with. Steam must be kept up every moment and everything ready to cast off at ai inttant's notice, for soldieis were mar cuing by day anu by nlgut to connect with the ship. Had notice been given to pas.sengers that they would not be received .on board, the German spie. would, have informed their govern ment and our ship would have been sent to the bottom. While in London I saw many cases of tourists from the continent who had been deprived ol their last piece of baggage, all having been taken from them by force or lost in the wild confusion that everywhere prevaileu. I met one lady who woir what had originally been a handsome tailored suit. I leave it to your ima¬ gination lo picture her condllions a ter siandfng all night long at an un I covered station in a beating rain. She flnally escaped the storm by creep¬ ing into an empty coal car and crouch Ing in tue darknes.s. oue remain tnen thirty long hours. Did I say the car was empty? Se was a convincing ar¬ gument that it was not empty, and yet she left It more nearly so for she certainly carried a goodly portion of the dust and grime on her clothes anu person. How intensely wearied and beraggled she looked.
The small German boy is the em¬ bodiment of thrift. I think he has even the typical .Scotch "nearness" beaten to a frazzle, and the Germai family would delight Colonel Roose veil by its numbers. As far as six miles from the frontier these little German urchins would come pushing the family baby carriage. Some of the pushers were so very small tha they really should have occupied the vehicles themselves rather than to have furnished the motive power. Then they would hire the rig out at exho'ibltunt rates to the stranded tour¬ ists. The shaky little concern would be loiided to its utmost capacity with trunkft find grips, and away it would KO, of: en pushed by men and even women, who, if at home, would have scorned to walk a single block, and Iha Ktu.'dy little German, who had col¬ lected ills fee in advance, would trudge placidly on to recover his property and continue business,
I was asked by a military friend to look up one of his f'-iencs tnat he had lost track of. He had seen her name given as attending a militant meeting Ihat had been raided by the police. I am verv glad I tried to execute this cijnnuitfion, for It gave me a chance 10 see very much of this class of wq- •ncu wh.im we have heard so much. And I went'among, saw and talked with all classes, the Arson Squad, the Hecklers, and all typts. To my sur- prif-e 1 found <hejn clad in crepe de chine and clothed In good breeding, peaceful but quietly determined. And let me tell you that stranded Ameri¬ cans have every cause to remember iliese women with gratitude, for maiiy uf them dug dowu into their hand b.igs and aided with money and every means in their power to alleviate tho sufferings caused by war. Without exception I found these women beau¬ tifully and tastily dressed, using good English, prefect In their manners, de¬ lightfully courteous and shod In ex¬ cellent footwear. What more could one Ak?
If we wish to be broad minded, or thought so, for often the desire goes no deeper, we are quite likely to mask our disapproval by saying: "I do not make judi^ment because I do not under stand." And I am very glad that this opportunity came to me to thus meet these women face to face, and now to bear witness to what I saw concerning then. While many of our people do not or may not openly condemn these Kngiish women, yet sub-consciously I think, they have been blackened and defamed when they really merited praise and commendation.
There is a cold, dull gloom over Kngland these days. The war is not the people's war. It does not arouse their enthusiasm and ardor. And there Is the tragedy of the women. These young English girls have bid¬ den farewell to the lover going to the front. Neither one knows whether he will return or not. And we must also remember that even In these pip¬ ing days of peace, thera are 200,000 more" women than men on the little Island. It is impossible to plumb or measure the gloom and sadness of the |
average -woman In these war strick¬ en countries.
In the beginning all classes and both sexes seemed quite cocky over th^ prospect of war. But this soon changed. I once saw one hundred and and fifty-seven men who nad been ex¬ amined as to their fitness for active military aervice. The examination had been very strict and only six were fully up to that standard. Tbls Is at Qrst. The examinations grow less strict as the necessity for men In¬ creases. And please consider how ra- :>ldly this lowers tbe standard of man¬ hood In a country. And even those men who are left feel the depression of being left, and tbe imperfections that were the cause of the'r rejec¬ tion.
In Scotland I saw splendid speci¬ mens of manhood. We met that fam¬ ous troop, the splendid Black Watch, near the historic battlefield of Ban- Qockburne. It seemed both sad and hrililng that at that ramous fleld where tbe best blood of Scotland had been shed, at the same point, now tbe best manhood of the country was marching out to meet a foe—not for country—not for right—but going to battle because another man, a fore¬ igner, had dishonored a treaty. When a country goes to war for a great cause, for freedom, for Justice, there ire cheers, waving banners enthus¬ iasm. Men hold life lightly, or rath¬ er they feel that they are getting the price of life. But I saw thousands of men marching to the front, the streets In many cases were crowded, but not a single cheer greeted my ears. It was tragic. For once Tommy Atkins seems going forth to battle like cattle to the slaughter. The English people seem to realize the dreary, sodden gray of the whole sad picture.
The night before I left London I, attended the historical pagant of i "Drake." It is an elaborate, wonder- j ful exposition of England's supremacy |
on the sa and the destructXn of the Spanish Armada. It was received with great applause. The last scene shows the West porch of St. Paul's Cathe¬ dral. Queen Elizabeth comes in with a great procession of Lords and La¬ dles. Patriotic Hentlnient, is c ailed upon by the attempted murder of Sir Francis Drake. The pageant ends most gorgeously. The great audience refused to leave their seats but called "Tree! Tree! Speech." The curtain rose slowly and revealed the splendid form of Sir Herbert Beerbohn Tree.
He was evidently laboring under great em.otion. At last he said in a strained voice, 'Friends, this is a great and terrible moment for our country. We players must stay and work here happy to be doing our part and duty to keep up the entlnislasni which is so vital to England's suc¬ cess."
Well, we Anally secured passage in the "Adriatic." Our windows were darkened so no light could stream over the waters, betraying our pres¬ ence to the watchful enemy. Danger" Well, certainly it looked so. We pass¬ ed out of the passenger traffic chiss In Queenslown Harbor at 2 a. m. Sat-
COOL, CLEAN,
(CONVHNinNT) The electric current is a cool, clean, convenient performer. As a cook, electricity attends strictly to busi¬ ness; no redhot stove, no kitchen turned into a place of torture, no smoke and smell, no af rmath of dirt and ashes. Whatever work electricity performs, it requires no preparation, no assistance, no at¬ tendance—it Is a synonym for con- vtnlene.
