Editor Of The Washington Herald:
Is it possible that any one can be de-
! ceived by the organizers and leaders
Of the so-called Peace Society in this
country with the great ma jority OF
the members bearing German and
German-American names? Is any one
SO unintelligent as not to see through
the shallow trick? Great Scott Ger
many. the most war-like nation on the
face of the earth, and a large lot of
her citizens over here in America with
lots of money crying for peace. II
is true they want peace. but 1t is
peace on the part of Great Britain.
France and Russia they want, while
Germany makes war in urder to be-
come The master and slave driver of
those nations and other countries of
Europe.
In the matter of selling munitions
of war by American manufacturers to
the belligerents il requires some nerve
on the part of the Germans (and they
have iD to object, when during our
own war with Spain, the Krupp and
other weapon makers of Germany sold
to Spain without protest on our part
all the munitions Spain could pay for.
Such is the statement of Andrew Dick
son White, United States Ambassador
to Germany at the time. And now is
same Germans because we are doing
the same thing they did to us, when
they sold munitions 10 our enemies a,
war in 1895
But il is to laugh at the complaint
that we are supplying the allies with
munitions when they, the poor Ger
mans, are unable to get them on dc-
count of the sea blockade. Why.
what do they want of more? For :ke
past twenty-five or thirty years Ger
something like IS per cent Of the out
put of American munition makers :ill
her magazines and storehouses were
we'll nigh bursting with her colossal
for this war. These. with
the addition of the Krupps and the
imperial government output, will en-
able the Germans as they boast to
carry on the war indefinitely So
what do they want of more?
And so having stocked up and got
her share from us beforehand (taking
time by the forelock) Germany now
wants this country to help her out in |
her war by depriving the allies of
their share of the means of defense, |
while she has a-plenty. In brief, she /,
wants America for her ally in the |
war without it being exactly SO de-
clared. 1t may be said in fact that
Germany wants the earth" 1t is |
doubtful if she can get II. though aid
ed by her peace-loving subjects just
now sojourning in this country. At
least she will have to fight for it. |
and the allies will probably give her
a hard run for the money she is SO |
Iavishly spending. H. NJ. S.

Testimony in the Frank Case.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
In regard to the letter received by
one J. A. Hennesy from Leo NJ. Frank
noted in your issue of Friday.
May I ask Mr.. Hennesy why should
even SO many as "ten little factory
girls appear against Frank at his
trial? Is il not strange that so many
as ten would get up and testify
against an honorable and upright su-
perintendent? May I ask Mr.. Hennesy
II Frank informed him of the sub
stance of the testimony of these ten
little girls and just why they should
appear and testify against him at the
risk of losing their jobs. and not for
him,
IL Mr.. Hennesy wants to know I can
furnish him with the names of six
of these little girls and they can tell
him why. w. c. EDWARDS.

A GROWING PARTY.

President Wilson pointed out in
his Indianapolis address that while
the Democratic party is minority
party, as the Republicans scornfully
maintain. the G. o. P. is even more a
minority party, and the Independent
voter holds the balance of power.
The New York World adds some
Interesting facts to the Presidents
pertinent observation. It has CON-
piled last November's official vote
for Representatives in Congress and
it finds that the returns show that
the Democratic party polled larger
percentage of the total Democratic
acknowledgements vote than it
polled in 1912, and that the Republi-
cans and Progressive combined poll
ed smaller percentage than in 1912.
In other words, the Democratic
vote was relatively larger than it
was in the Presidential year, in spite
of the great Republican gains in the
House due to the disintegration of
the Progressive party and the return
of the Roosevelt voters to their old
allegiance. In still other words, the
Democratic party is gaining in
strength and the Republican-Progres-
sive outfit is Il sing.
In view of these facts the Republi-
can National Committee, which has
already elected its Presidential can
didate for 1916, on paper, may find it
expedjent to revise its figures.

be very late in coming. You cannot
get them In late winter or very early
spring as you can with an incubator.
The hen sometimes thinks she wants
to sit, and then. again. she takes an
other think. She may stay on the nest
for week and then strike for more
wages or another place to work in.
After she Is given a lot Of fine eggs
she will make all sorts Of fuss and
give up the notion Of sitting entirely.
The incubator. on the other hand, Is
trustworthy. You can start 1t as soon
as you have the eggs. and If you at
tend to your business there is no rea-
son why you should not have sue
cessful hatch. Don't get the idea into
your head that some time everybody
will be back again Matching with the
hen. The Incubator has come to stay
and 10 already an Indispensable part OF
every modern poultry plant.

VALUE
IN POULTRY RAISING

The incubator has made a place for
itself in the country world and has tax.
en- upon itself the duties that used to
belong to the hen, as far as Matching ia
concerned, says the Kansas Farmer.
Instead Of wasting her valuable time in
Matching the hen can go on her way
laying eggs. That part of her duty
nothing can take from her. The large
poultry plants discarded the hen az a
hatcher long ago, and the fancy poul.
tryman has followed their example.
He can hatch bis chickens at any time
he pleases. II he wants his birds early
he must hatch them in January or
February, and there are very few hens
that want to sit during these cold
months. The modern incubator, wheth-
er large or small. fills the bill and
does the work of Matching in a much
more satisfactory way than the hen.
The hen works in natures way. and
when given chance to make good in
her own sweet way she will come out
all right, but you sometimes want
things outside Of natures way. For
instance. 1t is natures way for hen
to commence to sit in the spring and
summer. and If you wait on the sitting
hen your young fries and broilers will

Varieties Of Winter Wheat.

ssOesOo W vvsUkOT "u06Ss
Useful information in regard to the
varieties Of winter wheat best fitted to
various states in the eastern half Of
the Union is contained in bulletin Of
the department Of agriculture.
Since the introduction of hardy va.
rieties Of winter wheat from southeast
ern Europe the winter wheat area in
this country has expanded steadily
northward. 1t has been found by expe-
rience that winter wheat In general
gives larger yields than spring wheat
because Of its greater drought resist
ance and its earlier maturity. which
enables II to escape hail. winds, dis
ease, etc. In Iowa, for example, the
average yields for five years show an
advantage Of As bushels in favor df
winter wheat over spring wheat, and
four year test in Minnesota was even
more favorable. showing an advantage
OF S.5 bushels. A great number of va
rieties. however. Of winter wheat make
q careful selection on the part Of the
farmer advisable.

VOTES FOR WOMEN.


The woman suffragists might well
heed, though they probably won't
the lesson of their second defeat in
Congress. 1t ought to be apparent
to them that female suffrage by ma
tional constitutional amendment is a
long way ahead, If it ever be achiev-
ed. Even were Congress to adopt the
resolution the House has just reject
ed, the proposed amendment would
have to run the gauntlet Of 48 states
and secure the endorsement of three
fourths of them, an impossible con-
tingency in view Of the natural and
deep-rooted aversion of the southern
states to placing the ballot in the
hands Of a horde of negro women.
If good sense outweighs stubborn
ness in the councils of the woman
suffragists they will abandon the
hopeless effort to secure constitu-
tional amendment and confine their
fight to the individual states. where
they have made much progress. The
states are the proper arbiters Of the
qualifications Of their celebrates.
and the women will find that many
who are unalterably opposed to q
national constitutional amendment
for female suffrage viii offer no OBJ
lection to votes for women as grant
ed BY the various states under the
conditions which they alone should
have the power to impose.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION.

Tea and Cocoa the Only stimuIants
Used by shaekIeton's Party.
Before starting on his present ex-
petition to the antarctic Sir Edward
Shackleton. the explorer, spoke, among
other things, Of the value of sugar as
food to travellers in that region. The
craving for it is very strong, he de-
clared. and then he added:
ITO show you how valuable sugar IA
to the explorer. there was an occasion
when we marched 321 miles, drawing
laden sledges. in fourteen days and a
half. Every two hours we each took
two or three Jumps Of sugar. within
ten minutes Of eating them we could
feel the heat go through our bodies.
The highest temperature of that march
was 62 degrees below zero.
I'VE shall take with us no stimulants
except tea and cocoa. We drink the
tea at midday to refresh us for the
afternoon march. The cocoa 10 taken
the last thing at night to preserve
bodily heat during the hours Of sleep.
The greatest temptation that assails
an arctic explorer is the desire to drink
on the march, At his feet there IL no
tential liquid in unlimited quantity.
But the snow IL at 40 degrees below
zero and must be melted in the mouth.
The heat required to melt It's much
too precious to be used in thatiway: II.

THE FATAL BLISTER cANkER.

Causes Great Destruction Of Apple
Trees In Kansas and Adjoining States.
More than million apple trees have
been killed in Kansas and the adjoin-
ing states of Missouri. Oklahoma and
Nebraska by disease known as the
blister canker. This disease, says D.
e. Lewis, assistant in horticulture in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
was introduced from the east fifteen
years ago.
The normal resistance Of apple trees
has been greatly reduced by drought
the past four years. making ideal con.
ditions for the work Of the fungus.
The blister canker is a wound para.
site, and experiments have shown that
it is unable to enter the healthy bark
Of the apple tree. Entrance is gained
through broken bark and wounds in
which the heartwood is laid bare
The disease is carried by wind or rain.
The first appearance is in the darken-
ing Of the bark near the wound. This
dark area increases in size and re-
mains moist the first year, but the sec.
ond year it becomes dry and cracked
The disease cannot be successfully con.
trolled by spraying because the spores
are developed in slightly raised areas
one-fourth of an inch in size, which
appear below the outer bark, but over
the surface Of the canker.
Ben Davis and Gano trees are very
susceptible to this disease and die in
two years. The Missouri Pippin. Jon.
athan. Grimes Golden and York I'm
perial are much more resistant. If
the infection is noticed before it has
gone to the heartwood 1t can be cut
out and the wound kept painted with
waterproof paint until the wound
grows over. If it is in the heartwood
it Is best to cut down the tree and
burn 1t. If the fungus attacks branch
1t may be cut of and burned.
Exceeding care should be exercised
In the pruning. The pruning should
be done early in the fore part Of the
growing season, giving the tree a
chance to heal. General sanitary meas.
ures. such as removing and burning
all the brush and dead trees. opening
the trees SO as to light all parts of the
bearing surface. careful spraying to
prevent other diseases and insects from
harming the trees and cultivation
where possible. will be of great value
as general preventives.

We are glad to note that Theodore
Roosevelt repudiates the interview
with him printed in London news
paper, in which he was quoted as
very uncomplimentary re-
marks about the United States pre-
sent foreign policy. The storm of
indignation which the interview,
now termed fake aroused, in this
country must have convinced the
Colonel that his waning popularity
is not to be revived by unjustified at
tacks upon government which is
struggling along as best it may be-
reft of his direction and control.
