PAN-GERMANS DENOUNCED BY GERMAN PRESS
Frankfurter Zeitung Warns that Their Hour of Reckoning Is Coming. HAGUE. Netherlands. Feb. 12. PanGermans who "did what they could to make the war Inevitable," are denounced by the Frankfurter Zeitung and are warned that their hour of reckoning is coming, In an article published in that newspaper. The article is a reply to a criticism by the Pan-German writer, Herr Elgenbrodt, who accused the newspaper of entertaining an antimilitarist spirit." Retorting to the critic, the Frankfurter Zeitung asked "What has happened in this war?" and answered the question by saying: "The army which enlisted at the beginning of the war has failed by a long way in numbers. Masses of men have had to be added to it and trained within a time for shorter than that which even we contemplated. "The conception that England desired to seek a decision by arms in any circumstances was the basis of the Pan-German policy. They cherished the Idea of the imminence of this world because they longed for it. In the first number 'of the Pan-German News, et that time the chief organ of
Pan-Germans, these words were writ
ten, 'The hour we have longed for at
last has struck, the holy war.' "
"It is impossible to say that the war
was desired abroad but it is not difficult to cee what one is straining every
nerve to bring about. Anybody who
did not go. about with his eyes shut, knew that Germany, except for a small group, did not wish for war. but what that small group, Just these PanGermans, could contribute towards making it inevitable, that they did. "If we along with others have any reproach to make to ourselves It is that wo did not more carefully watch the doings of such people. They were talkers whom one thought a nuisance but did not take as seriously as the damage which they subsequcntly did proves that one ought to have done. "The effect of Pan-German outbursts upon foreign public opinion was not considered at the time but they alone can account for the flood of hate towards Germany which showed itself at the beginning of the war and which found the German public comparatively unprepared. We could not. understand It and we asked ourselves how it was possible. Now we have found out. From the writing of Baumgarten and other publicaitons we have seen that not the good German people but the Pan-Germans earned a bad name for Germans in the world. We are not so foolish as to look upon the enemy a3 angels. The consciousness of the Innocence felt in Germany at. the beginning of the war, though undesirable, was not justfued, for now we see that agitation on the part of PanOermans which they carried even beyond our frontiers created a false im
pression upon foreign public opinion, an impression that the German people and their government were animated by plans for conquest, and deeds of violence, and this opinion was encouraged by chauvinists in those countries abroad. "German people do not yet know the extent of the damage done to them by the Pan-Germans, but the hour of reckoning for them is coming."

MURRETTE Two distinct relics of the day of the padres in Southern California appear in the Triangle's latest seven-reel feature, "I Love You," whose scenes are laid in Southern Italy and France. These are a tpam of oxen, the property of the Triangle's Hartville ranch studio, and an old mission bell which the fathers used to call the Indians to worship. This historic relic was
obtained from one of the first missions
founded by Father Junipero Serra the Franciscan monk, who was the first to spread the word, of God among thp
natives of California and the man who
built the chain of missions from San Francisco to SanDiego. This historic bell was used to toll the Angelas in

FARMERS FLEE FROM TORRENT
EVANSVILLE. Ind.. Feb. 12. The Ohio river continued to rise today while ice held fast in the gorge between Evans ville and Newburg. Flood rescue work is reported from many point:) above Kvansville and farmers are hurriedly fleeing to escape the new flood which will come with the warm weather and thawing snows. The bottom lands around the mouth of Green river are inundated aud a Red Cross party from Evansville rescued several persons from their homes which were menaced by the ice, which is following the waters across the cutoff which is now carrying water from the river here past the ice gorge and which empties into the river again near Henderson, Ky. Live Stock Will Perish. Fifty head of mules and L'OO hogs were taken from the bottom lands.
Much stock in the bottom lands will'
perish. Preston Mann lost 15.000 bushels of corn and seventy-five hogs, and Otto Rettig reports he has lost 500 bushels of corn and thirty hogs through the flood. Light draft boats in Green River are towing out barges to rescue what grain and stock may be saved. The Scuffletown Island was covered with water today and 100 living there have taken refuge at New burg.
WASHINGTON Versatility is really the middle name of Tom Powers, who plays Bob Wharton in "The 'Auction Block." the big feature of the Rex Beach Pictures Corporation. All the time Mr. Powers was playing the dissolute young millionaire in the plctureized Beach novel, he was singing and dancing his way into the hearts of scores of matinee girls nightly at the Princess Theatre, New York, in the musical comedy hit, "Oh Boy," although he is now working in serious problems with the U. S. Aviation Corps. Although a young man Mr. Powers has had wide experience both in the screen and the spoken drama. He was in the first Vitagraph Company to be sent to the Coast when that concern started to take pictures in Los Angeles. Powers was the cowboy hero of scores of the short Western dramas which at tmat time furnished thrills for movie audiences. Then he went into vaudeville and headed his own act for several years.

DRUGGISTS KNOW A GOOD MEDICINE
MURRAY Espe and Dutton, two versatile young men, at the Murray the first of this week put on one of Uie most novel acts here in a long time. Opening with a singing and dancing number and springing a line of comedy that is new one thinks he is about to see the regulation singing and dancing vaudeville team, when, all of a sudden a curtain in the rear is pulled up and one sees a lot of different kinds of heavy weights which the one member of the team balances with the same ease that one could expect if the object were an ordinary base ball instead of the iron ball. From this feat they turn to head and hand balancing closing with a whirlwind finish. Kelley and Rowe offer their original comedy sketch entitled. "O. V. Dummy" which kept their audience in an

QUEEN OF ITALY LAUDS RED CROSS
GENOA. Italy, Feb. 12. Correspondence of The Associated Press. From Queen Helena of Italy, the American Red Cross Committee for Genoa, has received a telegram expressing her appreciation and that of King Emmanuel for its "high and beneficent work" ia opening a canteen and refreshment place in the railroad station at Genoa. The Genoa Committee was organized early in November, erected a chaplet in the station yard and served as many as six hundred refugees in a single night,' during the height of the Teutonic invasion. Now that the influx of refugees ha3 decreased, the scope of the canteen woTk has been expanded to include Italian, British and French soldiers passing through. The new work was formally inaugurated this week in the presence of municipal and army authorities. Paul Grosjean, manager of the Genoa Branch of a New York bank and chairman of the local committee, spoke in behalf of the whole Red Cross organization in Italy. A Belgian, he has enthusiastically undertaken the American work. "The small nations, overwhelmed by the barbarian, have stronger faith than ever," he said. "This is an example to us. To these little nations have come in aid the great nations in an outpouring of high idealism of justice. The American Red Cross represents the spirit of humanity that ani
mates the entire American people. It has given immediate aid to unfortunates forced to abandon their homes. It works throughout Italy in harmony with the country's institutions. It intensifies the bonds of solidarity and sympathy between the two countries. Out of the awful struggle a good has come. Nations understand each other, draw nearer together, and strengthen their friendly relations. The American Red Cross and the Italian Red Cross will work together in a holy mission of giving comfort and aid." Consul General David T. Wilber expressed America's appreciation of cordial collaboration shown by citizens of Genoa. The mayor of Genoa responded warmly for the civilian authorities and General Garione for the military. "American, Italic and Red Cross flags were flying, aim the station was thronged with a cheering crowd."

LONDON, Feb. 12. In his speech at the opening of parliament today, King George said the struggle had reached a critical stage which demanded more than ever the full use of the country's energies and resources. Until recognition is offered of the only principles upon which an honorable peace can be concluded, the king declared, it is the duty of the British to prosecute the war with all the vigor they possess. The proceedings of parliament probably will be full of interest and importance and may cover the whole field of war effort. Political circles have been buzzing the past few days with various rumors, showing ttaj severe criticism of the government is to be expected in the debate.
