The Truth About the Meyer Gerhard
Affair.

The Herald, in common with many
other American newspapers, printed or
Wednesday morning disclosure made
by the New York Tribune as TO the iden.
tity of Ambassador Won Bernstorff's
peace messenger 10 the kaiser. Subse'
quent reports tended so to discredt the
story that we hesitated over its inter
probation until out OF all the smoke this
amount OF fire appears.
Bernstorff was undoubtedly guilty Of
deeeiying the president and Secretary
Bryan in connection with Meyer Gerhard
According 20 representations made by The
German embassy he was merely an at
tache of the German Red Cross. Inves-
/ tigation now establishes pretty conclu.
siyely that he was, in fact, one OF the
corps Of publicity men that Germany
has maintained in the United States.
on learning Of his real character the
British and the French governments in

ington 10 register protests with the state
department over the deception practiced
on us by Bernstorf. These governments
informed the state department that I'M
der the circumstances they would hence

nections OF any German for whom the
nited States asked safe conduct.

joined circle. of campfire girls, and
found that through the duties of the
home, the homely arts of housekeeping
she could win the coveted honors OF the
order, and was inspired to action &C.

to work together in the Kitchen and
about the house, and became real com

work and play as are their brothers in
the boy scout activities. The best thing
about these orders is their perfect adap.
tion to all classes of boys and girls.
There is no church that cannot take up
this work for its young people, to ad.
vantage. 1t is in no sense religious
movement, yet the great foundation prin-
ciples that make for high character are
insisted upon, and members are urged
to attend the church services with which
they are naturally affiliated. Through
leadership OF troops and circles clergy
men and teachers find it possible to know
their young charges better than they can
merely in their official capacity, ana
are improving the opportunity. In these
days whatever inspires the growing boys
and girls to become good citizens and
good homemakers, as well as strengthens
and develops them physically, mentally,
morally and spiritually, is surely worthy

lesser number of plants that will produce
nothing but small spindling stalks, en-
tirely unfit for market, but that every
plant should prove worthless. would be
livery rare indeed. Such q phenomenon
, would hardly be conceivable. Yet, ac-
cording to the rural New Yorker. it
might be possible. Adverse soil condi
tions are in most cases responsible for
such failures. Rhubarb, like all vege-
tables, thrives best in a we'll drained,
deep, rich sandy loan, but will do quite
well in any kind of good soil II well
drained. The plant is gross feeder and
should be literally supplied with old,
well-rotted manure. When set in the
field three or four shovelfuls to each
plant, thoroughly incorporated with the
soil. should be applied, and annual mulch
ings of coarse manure around the plants
at beginning of winter, should also be
given, and worked in the soil around the
plants as early in spring as the growth
appears.
Preparation Of the soil for a rhubarb
plantation should be quite thorough. The
plants make long tsp-roots that pene-
trate the soil TO quite depth, therefore
the ground should be broken up quite
deep. Some growers advocate subsoil
ing to depth OF Is inches, especially
il the suhsoil is naturally hard and
heavy. They claim it pays to 90 TO ex.

However, very good crops of this yege
table can be grown on ground that has
not been SUBSIDIZED. if plenty of good
manure and sufficient cultivation l. CIV

CURRENT COMMENT
Greetings to Gov. Slaton.

For his continuation OF the sentence
gia will receive the unmeasured approba'
ton of multitudes Of earnest mer
throughout the United States who have
studied this remarkable case from every
possible angle. The whole country
breathes sigh of relief and thankful
ness. Seldom has governor been en-
meshed in circumstances more tragic and
pathetic or which brought him more
dramatically to the attention of the ma
ton. lie has personally examined the
evidence upon which the conviction was
based, and the arguments and facts upon
which the friends of the condemned
man grounded their appeals. Having
reached a reasoned conclusion, he states
that his conscience did the rest. But in
one respect he is mistaken. This de-
eision does not necessarily mean that he
must live in Obscurity the rest of his
days. If those words were the simple
man who has been wrestling many days
and nights with terrible dilemma, there
are plenty of persons in Georgia who
sooner or later will rally TO him, just
as there are thousands of persons in his
state who would have condemned him
as coward, had he listened to the clam
oring crowds who have threatened him,
and rendered his decision accordingly. In
Georgia there will be no lack of appreci.
alton of n governor who would rather
BE- blowing in field than feel for the
rest OF his days that he had that mans
blood on his hands. Boston Herald.

The time for the allies to make prog.
ress against Germany in the western
arena of the war is when the kaiser ana
a good proportion of his men are en-
gagged in driving the Russians back into
their own country in the eastern arena.
When the latter job is done, the kaiser
will have opportunity to shift a vast
army rapidly from the east to the wesv
and oppose the allies during the long
period before the Russians recover
enough to become threatening again.
Therefore, the allies in the west are fac
ing their opportune time right now.

FILIPINO DANCE HILLS ii
!. LURE FOR YOUNG GIRLS

That through the Influence of GER
tain Filipino dance halls in the cOuD.
try districts, young girls are led astray
and turned into loose characters, is the
statement of Deputy Sheriff Richard of
HOnokaa, The deputy has personal
knowledge of such incidents, and he
is trying all he can to have the law
changed SO that such dances can be
prohibited.
1t appears that every pay day the
Filipinos hold dances at the various
plantations, and that the girls who
dance there are paid on u percentage
basis. That is to say that young Ha'
waiain girls are enticed to frequent
the dances, and for every partner they
secure they are paid percentage OF
the entrance money to the hall. 1t is
obvious that the girls, some of them
only fourteen and fifteen ears Of age
do their best to attract partners In
order to participate in the dividend
that it paid. "WalI flowers" are
about as welcome in the Filipino dance
hall as anywhere else. -.
That one-sided bargains are made
by the Filipino men, and that they de
mand some further inducement besides
the privilege OF tnngoing with the lit
waiian girls in return Tor taking then
as partners is the claim of people who
know all about the horrible state OF
affairs. Three young Hawaiian girl
are about to become mothers. TIVE
others Of very tender years have beer
married to Filipinos in order to quasi
legal proceedings, and still the merry
percentage dances continue.
Efforts are being made to get thu
Legislators from Hawaii to introduce
laws that will put an end to the shame
full dance horror. The matter is to b,
presented to the senators and repre-
sentatives in manner that will con
vince them of the truth Of the storie
told about the pay day dances.

The japanese press of recent
