the appendices to the German MEM
orandum, which came by mail and to
which the Photographic copies were
attached, but was not ready at this
time to state his views on the sub
ject.
Department officials emphatically
denied a rumor. which had been pre-
viously denied in the house by au-
thority of President Wilson to the eff
feet that some sort of warning would
be issued to Americans to keep off
armed merchantmen. No warning OF
any sort would be issued. it was said

IF THE G. o. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH
VOTERS Of the 0. S. A.

VOTERS Of the q. S. A.
We, the Republican party, being at
our Wits end and desperate. put il
up to you:
For nearly four years now Demo
cratic Administration has been in
power. Contrary to every law Of
reason, every principle Of progress,
the country is at peace and alive,
nay, humming with prosperity. Bust
ness is rushing. Wages are high. The
only discomfort is the discomfort Of
those who are reaching for bigger
chunks Of plenty.
We are flabbergasted. All this has
happened during a period when the
rest OF the world has been agog, when
international crises were impending
on all sides, when we would have
sworn only Republican craftsmanship
could pull the nation through.
No war has engulfed us. No panic
has paralyzed us. No nation has
with impunity continued to infringe
upon DuN AlSHtS.
We can't deny what has been done.
All we can do is take our oath we
could have done 1t better. How, we
do not know. II only we said it loud
and long enough we hoped the coun-
try would believe US.
But the country is busy and our
voices grow hoarse. We are having a
hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing to
show but what he has accomplished.
He has none Of the glamour of the
what-might-be. We, on the contrary.
have our old promises and policies,
melIowed by age, but still bearing
the stamp Of the nations solid inter
ests. Protection, privilege, govern
ment by infiuence-surely the country
has not given them their last trial.
Wall street is with us. Big busi-
ness is with US. But o, Voters, we
confess it, we need you. Don't keep
looking at the peace and prosperity
around you. Try to get our point OF
view. Whatever Wilson has done, the
man is a Democrat and neither Fed
erill Government nor Federal offices
were meant to be forever in such
hands.
Let's forget issues and talk as
friends. Tarn him out and give US
a chancei

FARMERS IGNORED
BY REPUBLICANS
But Democratic Administration
Quickly Gave Them Justice
in Rural Credits.

Don't forget Mr.. Farmer. that
through your Farmers National Con-
gress, National Grange, National
Farmers Union. American Society Cf
Equity. and similar organizations you
have for years dersapded and have
lmportuned Republican admlnlstra-
tions for legislation you needed.
WHAT DID YOU GET7
Through all the years since 1864
the Republican Party was deaf and
blind to the farmers financial needs.
This In the face Of the fact that sue
eessfuI systems OF Rural Credits were
In operation throughout Europe for a
century. When this great Democratic
measure was put TO vote In the SEN
ate or May 4, 1915, only five Re-
publlcans dared vote against III Three
Of thelc were on the subcommittee
who wrote the Republican Platform
Of 1916.
Was 1t because you were not Big
interests? You were. many Of you,
highly financed and High Finance
held the mortgage-and to that extent
you belonged to High Finance. But
you paid big interest to associate with
Big interests. A stack of wheat
wasn't as good collateral as a sheaf
Of scraps Of paper held by a stock
gambler. Nor did the Political Bosses
Of the Republican Party care to
give you financial justice They we're
too busy protecting" themselves.
THE PROMISES OF THE DEMO
CRATIC PLATFORM OF 1912 -
written in courage and honesty and
with sympathetic understanding of
the needs Of every honest American
interest-RAvE BEEN KEPT.
The Republican Party refused to do
these things, which the prosperity OF
the American Farmer required.
The Republican presidential candi-
date, Charles p. Hughes, denounces
the Democratic party and President
Wilson for having done these things.

AS an Indirect result of the valu-
able service rendered by power boats
during the conflict abroad, some little
attention has been aroused In this
country to the advIsability of organic
ing a mosquito feet" for mhe patrol
and scouting duties. A plan contem-
plating the registration Of all pleasure
craft Of this kind. so that they might
be available for service in an event Of
war. has even been proposed. OF late,
however. another step has been taken
in this direction which is particularly
significant and interesting. According
to Popular Mechanics Magazine. sew
eral Fasteners are having "scout
boats" built for their private use.
These have been designed by naval
architects and are not merely suit
able, but in part equipped, for naval
purposes. and would be practically
ready for immediate use If Necessity
should ever require that they be
turned over to the navy department.

Make Hand crenades Now.

The number of accidents in British
factories during the year 1915 was
206 above the average for the last ten
years, according TO the annual report
Of the inspectors Of explosives.
The number of deaths in manufac-
ture was p and the number of per-
sons injured In factories during the
year was 170, SO of these cases being
Of a trifilng nature. In view of the
vast increase in the number of per-
sons employed in the manufacture Of
explosives. this result may be regard
ed as fairly satisfactory.
Very little work has been done in
ordinary fireworks. nearly all the fac
tories having been engaged in filling
hand grenades or In making signals
for war purposes. This work they
were specially fitted to carry out, and
they have thus been enabled to keep
going at time when the public pro-
hibition Of firework displays would
have compelled them to close down.
