been made, and funds for it's erection are al

at Mount Vernon and to place the
tomb of the Father of his Country on
a higher plane than that of COM

be introduced in Congress within the

Many patriotic and public spirited
residents Of Washington and neigh

the alleged facts presented in the

tain two main provisions the enlarge

inclined to doubt this story, have TO
do 70 confirm il is to ask old Uncle
Tinsley Davenport. an aged darkey
who declares he is the owner of the
fowl which laid the egg.
When Uncle Tinsley'' returned from
church Sunday. he went out to gather
eggs from the nests. When he thrust
his hand under one OF his choice lay
crs, he pulled out an egg which at
tracted his attention. The egg was
the size Of an ordinary egg but In
the small end of the shell little hole
was seen.
Upon investigation. small chick
was found alive inside. which was
about the size Of n hickory nut. The
chicken was not fully developed. but
1t was alive and lived two hours, he
says. The egg contained a perfect
yolk and the white was undisturbed.
but In the small end. wee chicken
nestled.
Uncle Tinsley'' was greatly excited
ever the egg and took pleasure in
showing IL to his neighbors before he
broke 1t open. Uncle Tinsley" would
not be surprised II that hen laid a
full-grown frying-sized chicken next
time, as he thinks she is capable of
giving birth TO nearly anything now.

Where Germany Fails

Blent with German efficiency is stup-
idity. Not to know that sinking the
Lusitania would be bad business for
Germany was to lack intelligence. Not
to know that Germany could not afford
to shoot woman who acted from mo-
tives which all generous minded persons
applaud, was as bad, finally, as not to
know how to run the commissariat
properly. 1t raises up regiments in OPP
position; puts barbed-wire entangle-
ments in the path. Inability to Guilt
vate "a decent respect to the opinions
of mankind" is positive, tangible
handicap, for it involves inability to
deal with an important factor in the
problem which has to be worked out.
OF course Junkerdom knows that
good will is an asset and i'll will liabil-
ity, but it does not understand the
terms upon which either is to be had.
No one could have read Bernhardi' s
book, with its worship of war, without
being struck by certain boneheaded-
ness-a sheer inability to understand
modern thought and conditions.
What makes Germany fearsome to
the neutral world is not her efficiency,
but this dull ruthlessness. 1t is not be-
cause the military caste knows how to
fight, but because it does not know how
to be humane, that it's successes cause
misgiving. There is a great breach
here in the Imperial Governments eff
cheney. Saturday Evening Post.

Socialist for Preparedness

A call for Americans to arm them
selves and prepare for death grapple
with Germany at the close of the pres
ent war in Europe has been issued by
Charles Edward Russell. of New York,
author and socialist, in an address on
"After the Whirlwind."
Germany, according to Mr.. RUSSELL
belief, will win the gigantic contest in
Europe and establish the greatest en-
pire the world has ever seen Canada,
he said, will be seized by the Germans
and chain of forts will be established
along the Canadian-American frontier.
The German empire will be without
conscience or morals and inspired only
by lust of conquest.
In answer to question from the
audience as to whether he did not be-
lieve that his plea for preparedness dis
qualified him as member of the So
cialist party, he snapped back: IF my
convictions on preparedness interfere
with my being a socialist, which be-
lieve they do not, then l will get out of
the socialist party. If Germany wins,
good night to socialism and every pro-
gressive cause. The whole world will
be turned into an armed camp"
