FOR SERVICE | Those Interned in Philippines Will be Used by Government MANILA, June 28?(Correspondi once of The Associated Press)?The first of the smaller of the commandeered German vessels in the Philippines to approach the completion of her repairs will be put into commission within two or three days, to be followed by two more. These three vessels probably will i be the first of the Inter-island fleet which the Philippine government expects to establish with the seized vessels. The 23 steamers seized In the Philippines at the time of the rtipJnrn nf eolations with ftermanv lmd I in aggregate tonnage of 84.000. Thei Philippine government .while rccog-j nlzing that the larger steamers should be put either Into the Pacific or At- j lantic trade, as the National Shipping j Be ard thinks best, made a plea to Washington that ten of the smaller vessels representing perhaps a third of the total tonnage, be assigned to, the government for such service as the insular authorities deemed wise. While the chief use to which the German steamers will be put will be cither In inter-island traffic or in the sea trade between the Philippines and the China coast, the insular government has in mind the possibilty of employing one of the vessels perhaps in trade between the islands and Spain. There is a population of close to 10,000 Spaniards In the Philippines. They alone provide a market for many Spanish products. Meanwhile, work on the larger German steamers Is proceeding rapidly. Two already have sailed. The mitfittlnn- nf so manv vessels and 111 bo short a time has exhausted the supplies of naval stores In Manila and of the China Coast. Some vessels may have to watt for the arrival of these stores from the United States. The manning of so many vessels also virtually has exhausted the supply of sailors In the Philippines, as well as ship's ofTicers. To fill the ranks of! the sailors it is probable that some of the vessels will recruit Chinese crews In Hong Kong. Offfficers will have to be imported from the United States, M 1 i . BIG PROFIT IN PEACHES. HUNTINGTON, W. Vo? Aug. 7.? In a basket of peaches a local grocer purchased from a local commission I merchant he found Interesting Information. In the bottom of the basket was found a note from a Texas girl, explaining that her father had sold these peaches for {1.20 a bushel and asking the ultimate consumer to write and tell her how much he paid for them.

With many of us there abides a. profound conviction of the righteousness of the American cause In this war, and a deep realization of the peril that menaces the freedom of the world through the possible victory of German arms. But the prevaiing spirit in the country, except in spheres of military preparation and activity, is apathetic towards the impressive dangers that confront the Nation. It is not a lack of patriotism, or a slackening loyalty to the priceless traditions associated with the heritage of liberty which we enjoy, but a relapse of the people into a false security, who are singularly deluded by our remoteness from the shambles of war. This woeful indifference must have a rude awakening soon. It will come .with the first gruesome message form the western front that tells oi the mangled American manhood that has been sacrificed for the security of those of benumbed apprehension at home. Arailnst this nnathv there Is an ac tivity that is insidiously eating its way throughout the land that is provocative of disloyalty, because it pretends to question the everlasting justice of our intervention In this horrific human tragedy. It is designed to create discontent at home and weaken our effectiveness aborad. It is now fomenting treasonable resistance to the selective draft. It is suggesting riot and rebellion. And somnolent apathy sleeps on. This sudden demand for the reasons and aims of the United States in this war is most significant of the source or the sympathy of its inspiration. It is the leaven of the same bread that the crafty German intriguers are feeding their Russian dupes. It is the poison that drips from the pens of certain editors of German language newspapers, who, while professing loyalty, are cunningly spreading a propaganda of a false peace. Hear this suggestion from the New York Staats Zeltung: "Common sense and all the experience of history dictate the wisdom of adopting the line of least resistance, and that is the way of peace." What kind of peace? Why, that which would would continue the repulsive right of might to oppress the weak. To legalize conspiracy against humanity to murder ,to ravish and dishonor again whenever the imperial will of German military despotism so ordered It?a new conflagration liable to spring up before the ashes of the presnt besom had cooled. \So far as the "experience of history dictates" it wholly contradicts the wisdom Indicated by the Kaiser's assistant on the Staats Zeitung, In 1S64, a year after the blood-drenching of the battle of Gettysburg, and the fall of battered Vicksburg, the peace party of the North met In convention and nominated a candidate for the Presidency on a platform that declared the war to have been a failure. That was adoptng the "line of least resistance," but does the experlJY HAS A VALET! , aiR, I ? ? ! Cm ? ?0* ' Cm ^ ' i ' in iha city limits.

They hare been stated time and again. What la the sudden call for their restatement. Who is it that wants to know? They are those who, while In declaring enmity to the preposterous assumption of the anointed divinity of kings, sre inconsistently opposn(the war against absolutism; those who are paid to exploit the false professions of Prussian Junkerdom and who are In sympathy with the balked conspiracy against the peace of the world. The United States cannot be a pcrty to any peace but that which shall come of the complete subjugstion of the German idea. We cannot be safe without the unconditional surrender of the principles despotic military rule. The peace we desire and must have, H we expect to survive is a free. Christian democracy, will take us down Into the valley of the dark shadows. We shall pass through tribulation and unutterable sorrow. It will be black night lor awhile, but joy wlll snrelv coma with the morning. The situation has never been more distinctly outlined than In the words of Elihu Root, on his return from Russia: "Dpn't argue about why we are in the war, but realize that the time has now come when American liberty, American Justice, American Independence and freedom is the stake for which we must fight."
