GERMAN PRESS
OUT FOR PEACE
EDITORS EXPRESS VIEW THAT
AN UNDERSTANDING MUST
BE REACHED WITH U. S.
CAN’T WHIP ALL WORLD
AMERICA MUBT PREPARE TO RE
PEL ANY FOE, ABSERT PEACE
MEETING SPEAKERS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Berlin, June 15.—The Lokal An
zeiger prints a noteworthy article on
German-American relations by its
general director, Eugen Zimmerman,
which, coming on the heels of Fri
day’s conciliatory article, is taken to
mean that influential representatives
of politics and business are standing
behind the paper, and exerting their
efforts for a German-American under
standing.
"President Wilson,’’ says Herr
Zimmerman, “desires nothing more
ind nothing less than an understand
ing between Germany and England,
concerning the forms of maritime
warfare, which, at the same time, will
insure the safety of American passen
gers. The task is not light, consider
ing the development of naval warfare,
but it can be solved, if all interests
display good will."
A new form might be given to na
val warfare, Herr Zimmerman con
tinues, on the basis that passengers
on ships with special marks of iden
tification, and sailing under the gov
smment guarantee that they are un
armed, should receive proper consid
eration at the hands of submarine
commanders.
The compromise must also involve
the withdrawal of the British admi
ralty’s instructions to merchantmen,
to attack and ram submarines at
sight.
The article ventures to indicate for
the first time to the German public
that there may be a second side to
the question of arms, on which the
press has been for months harping.
The editor of the Tageblatt, Theo
dor Wolff, also publishes an article
in favor of a policy aimed at the
avoidance of new conflicts and the
bringing in of new adversaries.
The Nachrlchten of Frankfort pro
poses, as a method for modifying the
hardships of submarine warfare, that
the United States government consent
to the stationing of German commis
sioners in American ports to examine
ships sailing for Europe, so that
those which carry no armaments, mu
nitions or troops, may be exempt from
attack by German submarines.
Peace and Preparation Conference.
New York.—Better military and na
val preparedness on the part of the
United States was urged here by
speakers of national prominence at a

National Security League, which held

Conference at which twenty - five
states were represented.
The speakers included Jacob M.
Dickinson and Henry L. Stimson. for
mer secretaries of war; Charles J.
Bonaparte, former attorney general;
Judge Alton B. Parker, who is hon
orary vice president of the League,

BE A PATRIOT YEAR AROUND.
President Wilson Urges True Ameri
cans to Enshrine Flag In Hearts.
Washington. President Wilson,
speaking at Flag Day exercises here
urged Americans io remember their
patriotism on othor days than nation
al holidays, and to carry the flag of
the country ever in their hearts.
The President made no direct refer
ence to the European war or to in
ternational questions, but he was ap
plauded whenever he made any refer
ence to patriotism of the people of
the United States. The -exercises
were held on the south steps of the
treasury building. When the Presi
dent arrived a large audience stood
and cheered until he waved his hands
for silence.
Introducing the President, Secre
tary McAdoo said the meeting was "to
pay homage to the flag of our coun
try at a time when It has a deeper
significance than ever before in the
world’s history, whan it is the hope
of civilization.”

AT POINT OF REBELLION
Jimmy Had Reached the Stage of Boy
hood When Kleslng Became
Rather Tiresome.
Little Jimmy had reached the con
clusion that everybody in the world
had kissed him or wanted to badly.
He could not help being a boy that
all the ladies wanted to pet and be
stow their kisses upon. In fact, Jim
my longed for the day when he would
have a say so In the matter of being
kissed. One day a famous woman
came to call upon his mother. Jimmy
chanced' to enter the parlor and was
directed by his mother to come up
and see the noted Mrs. So and So.
Jimmy knew what was coming, but
he could not prevent the occurrence.
The visitor took him by the hand and
gently gathered him up Into her lap,
and ns she let him down to the Boor
again she graciously bestowed a kiss
upon his pouting lips. Jimmy jumped
away from her and began to rub his
lips in a vicious manner.
"What, you are not rubbing my kiss
off, my little man?" questioned the
woman. Jimmy was puzzled for a
few moments, then replied:
“No, ma’am, I’m just rubbing it in,”
and then vanished through the door.
Not In His Line.
“What do you intend to do now that
you’re through college?” asked the
young B. A.’s father.
“I’m thinking of taking a post
graduate course in economics,” replied
his son.
“Economics, hey?” said the father.
“If that’s got anything to do with
economy, I don’t see what makes you
think you’ve got any special aptitude
for the study.”

Test of Judge Welch’s Neutrality.
The man whose brogue was thick
and the one whose brogue was thick*
er were arguing the question ol Inter
national courts on a Fifteenth street
car.
"There ain’t no International court,”
one stoutly affirmed.
"Shure, there is,” the other declared.
“I see by the paper that Austria may
sue for peace. Just tell me how she
is going to sue if there ain't no court
to sue in?”
He of the minor brogue was stumped
for only a minute.
“She might sue In Cas Welch’*
court.”
“Shure, but that would be a dirty
trick on Cas. Some of the Irish are
for Germany and some are feminst
her, and he’d have to offend a lot of
the Irish any way he’d decide it.’’—
Kansas City Star.
Needed the Hammer.
A gunner of the Garrlßon artillery,
who had successfully passed an armor
er’s course, was at home on furlough,
wearing the usual decoration of the
hammer and pincers on his right
sleeve, when he was accosted by a
civilian, who asked what the decorar
tion signified. “Oh,” replied Tommy,
humorously, “I’m a qualified army den
tist.” “I Bee,” said the civilian. “Of
course, the pincers are for extracting
teeth; but what is the idea of a ham
mer?” “Well, you see,” rejoined the
soldier, “some of the chaps are a bit
nervous, and are afraid to take chloro
form, so as a substitute we use the
hammer to knock them unconscious
with.”
There is a limit to human endur
ance. The friends who have to keep
“standing up for you" may have to
finally turn and “sit on you!”
