 WAR ON DOVES-Farmers in the Alhambra community and west on the Yuma Road, are almost desperate on account of the great number of doves and whitewings that threaten to de- stroy their entire crops of grain. In fact, they have declared war on the winged pests, and declare that if the Arizona hunters don't come soon to relieve them, they will put poison in the fields, and in this manner seek to diminish their numbers.

SAFETY FOR AMERICANS

TN the younger days OF the republic,
when we had more of spirit than
/ strength. to be an American citizen
was to be assured of protection any
where the flag was known. on more
than one occasion. with the odds
against it, the American navy has
backed up the demand of Washington
that American citizenship be respected.
But recently "watchfully waiting"
statesmen have amputated the long
arm of Uncle Sam at the elbow and
our citizens are not safe from the
plotting and murderous designs of for
eigners even within our own bound
aries. Life after life has been snuffed
out in the munition factories at home,
our people have been warned to leave
their livelihoods and their properties
in Mexico and get out of the country,
and now congressman, with no dis
approval from the White House, are
demanding that American citizens re-
main off the passenger ships of bel
ligerent nations.
The latest outrage in Mexico is the
elimination of the administration s
weakness and folly.
When Rome was at the zenith of
her power. TO be Roman citizen
meant immunity from harm wherever
the power of Roman arms was known.
Take the incident OF Paul at Jeru-
salem. When they would have scourged
him he demanded: rs it lawful to
xcourge a man that is a Roman and
umcondemned? And when the GEN.
turion heard this he went to the cap
tain and said: "Take heed what you
only that, but Paul was not scourged,
and the chief captain was afraid"
because Paul was a Roman and he had
bound him.
But that was Rome, and this is
America, and who is there to-day
abroad who dares not treat with scorn
an American or take his life IL he
so desires. If that accords with his
murderous will?
The spirit OF John Hay must weep in
sorrow at the changes that have taken
place so recently in Washington. We
have lost the respect of the world.
our diplomacy is the laughing stock
Of the great governmental powers of
the earth. And yet there are those
who would continue the vacillation
another four years, and others who

4 WORRIED PARTY

TIME disingenuous attitude of Pres
ident Wilson and his apologists
in the matter of the one term
plank of the Baltimore convention is
proving a serioue handicap for the
present occWPant of the White House
in his ambition TO succeed himself.
Bryan having previously repudiated
the plank when he was in the Wilson
cabinet is now hamstrung in his de-
sire to make use of the same weapon
as a big stick in his anti Wilson propa-
ganda.
II has not been forgotten either that
the President declared to a party of
women suffragists on one occasion that
he would be controlled in his judg
ment and action upon matters of such
moment by the declarations of his
party in the Baltimore convention.
But it has been long since proven that
Woodrow Wilson is exceedingly nim-
bic when it comes to changing front
on any proposition which may in any
degree affect his ambition or personal
interests.
II Is SOlllS 10 ne TdInSr ullilCulJ
year for Wilson defenders, owing to
the fact that the President has so fire.
quently found it desirable from his
standpoint to declare what was blue
yesterday is a vivid green to-day. So
generally has this come to be under
stood that even the foreign govern
ments to whom he has been sending
frequent notes do not take them Sc
riously. They are simply scraps of
paper" to be treated with contemptu-
Gus Indifference in some cases, and
with ridicule in others.
For the relief Of his party and those
who are still supporting his alleged
poiticies the President should write
the platform OF the st. Louis conven-
ton this year so that it will not be
necessary for him to repudiate its
pledges in the brief time left to him
as chief executive after the November
elections. With his facility of express
sion it ought to be easily possible for
him to write any plank so that it may
be susceptible of at least two con-
structions.

TO.DAY'S EDITORIALS

The Public Ledger. Philadelphia. -
Those statesmen by courtesy who
are screaming in the halls of Con-
gress for an embargo" on our ex-
ports have already given an amusing
example of the effect of q very sue
cessful embargo on their part through
the absurdity of their arguments.
These have been developed without
any recognition that the United States
went through very sad and dis
astrous embargo period in the days
of Jefferson and Madison. The en-
barge that Senator Gore and his as
sociates have already put into opera
tion however, is an embargo on the
facts of political history. They re-
fuse to see or to profit either by the
experience of the country or the gem
eral lessons of the past.
The Philadelphia Press. - The
death of a student from injuries re-
ceived in the annual bowl fight at the
, University of Pennsylvania is an eX-
ceedingly sad and every way deplora-
BILE event. These so-called bowl fights
are regulated combats between the
Sophomore and Freshman classes.
They call for the extreme output of
the physical strength and endurance
of the combatants, but they have not
heretofore been attended by any
fatality or serious injury.
The New York World.-Mr. Choate
is in error when he says that the peo-
pie generally are awakening to the
importance of national defense. They
are not. That is where the trouble
lies. The apathy of Congress is a re-

In the East and on the Pacific
coast sentiment in favor of national
defense is strong and aggressive.

\ WORTHY APPEAL

HISTORY holds no more horrify-
ing tale of mans inhumanity to
man than the sufferings of the
Jews of Europe during the present
war. OF the millions of men on the
battle front, none are fighting with
greater bravery than the hundreds of
thousands of Jews. And upon none
have the hates Of kings fallen more
terribly.
In America sorrowing coreligionists
have heard the sobs of heart broken
mothers. of weeping fathers, of hungry
ba bies. in the devastated states of
Eastern Europe. How we'll they have
needed the call is written in the finan-
cial statements of the American Jewish
Relief Committee.
The Jewish people of Harrisburg
have contributed their share toward
the sufferers fund, but another great
demonstration of the popular spirit of
helpfulness and sympathy has been
planned. Sunday afternoon at 2.S0 is
the time; Technical high school audi
torium is the place.
The committee of arrangements is
composed of Harrisburgs representa-
tive Hebrews. David kaufman is
chairman. To-day a personal letter
was sent out TO every man, woman and
child of the faith urging attendance at
Sundays meeting. Help, cooperation
these are the keynotes of the spirit
that prevails among the Jews of Har-
risburg and surrounding towns.
The cries for aid for Europe's s
wounded, starving men and women
and hungry babies will be answered by
their coreligionists of Harrisburg in
the voluminous voice of one of the
greatest gatherings ever held in this
city.

THE FERTILIZER FAMINE
By Frederic J. Haskin

,ornia that contains immense deposits
of potash. but the technical problems
involved in getting 1t out and trans
forming II into the proper form for use
in fertilizer have still to be solved. In
the meantime, the ownership of the
lake is disputed. and before title to the
property Is clear the crops of several
seasons will probably have been har-
vested. So the potash of Searles Lake
as the dry bed is called, cannot relieve
the situation, although there is unde-
niably plenty of Ii in view.
There are two minerals found in con-
siderable quantities in. different parts
of the United States which might save
the day, rs they contain a certain per-
centage of potash, but the emergency
has arisen SO. suddenly that the indis-
for putting any technical process on a
commercial basis has not vet been done.
one of these minerals is feldspar. found
does not carry enough potash to make
it pay to work for potash alone, but 1T
would grow into profitable industry
the market Cement, made in the pro-
product. But. the brands of cement al
such q fine point that it would be hard
to sell a new variety in competition
with them, Meantime, the farmer
Alunite is the other mineral with
potash possibilities. II occurs in fairly
large quantities in the central Rocky
MOunIa1nS. bSSluCS potash IL contains
much aluminium, which is turned out
as a by-product and helps to swell the
profits. One company is manufactur-
ing potash from alunite, and another is
said to be about to begin: but obviously
two companies cannot do much to sup
ply a nation.
The possibilities are narrowed by
elimination back to the Pacific kelp-
beds, and the Department OF Agricul-
ture is planning to send experts to Cali
fornia TO study the situation. 1t is ad-
mitted that there is little hope of quick
results. for to produce the potash need
ed by American farmers would require
an investment in plants of between
81, 00n 900 and S5.000000. and an addi-
tional capital of S2.000.000 or 5000, 900
for operating expenses, after all the
minor technical problems involved in
production are solved. Considerable
legisla ton is also needed to protect the
investor. because at present the kelp
beds are public property. and the maj
who builds a factory would have no
guarantee that this raw material would
not be taken away. Some system of
leasing patches of the ocean is impera-
tive, and real estate on the Pacific will
soon include choice sea-lots as we'll as
rose gardens.
Summing up the situation. experts
say that even under the most faVorable le
conditions of law and labor. the kelp
beds could not possibly be put on a
working basis in time to help the 1916
crop. The possibility of again import
ing potash from Europe before that
time is obviously slim.

THROUGH HERSHEY
1.-THE Hershey Press. I

No large public improvement in
Pennsylvania is of such direct inter
ert to Hershey as the William Penn
Highway. 1t will pass directly through
the town and will be of the highest
possible value to us.
AT present we suffer a little because
of the fact that we are off the main
track, which is the Lincoln Highway
running south of us through Lancas-
ter.
The William Penn Highway is the
more northerly line and it offers larger
attractions to the motorist because it
has fewer grades. 1t will mean an in
creased motor travel TO Hershey and
Harrisburg from Philadelphia, New
York and eastern and northern points.
We commend the truth and spirit
of this editorial in the Harrisburg
Telegraph:
There can be no doubt of the sue
cess of the william Penn Highway. 1t
is as certain to come Is the flowers
of Spring. There are back of this
proposition most of the livewires of
the commercial and motor organiza-
tions between Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh. Harrisburg is radiating east
and west a strong influence on the
side of this proposed route. 1t ap-
peals so strongly to the populous
towns and districts throughout the
central part of the State that there
can be no doubt of its success. With
the Chamber of Commerce of this
city pulling a strong oar it is certain
that the new year will not be very
old when definite steps shall have been
taken"
Why not have Harrisburg invite the
aid and interest of those "populous
towns and districts" and get them to
send delegates TO a meeting in that
a.4 fc
trouble and progress can best be made
by cooperation.

Farmers are being urged to burn chips

ashes are worth saving nowadays.
ing the floating Pacific kelp may soon
be in demand, and all this is because
face to face with a famine in fertil-
iZers.
With the rest of the world apparent
ly headed for bankruptcy, the United
States is getting rich by raising billion
dollar crops. This country has half a
world to feed, and the strength of the
soil is being, strained as never before
TO meet the demand. The land is work
Ing overtime. 1t calls for refreshmcnt
in the shape of fertilizers, and fertil-
izers are scarce. The question is of first
Importance not only to the farmer, but
to every American without an lndepen-
dent income. Through its effect on ma
tional prosperity it strikes at his pay
cheek.
There are three classes of fertilizers
which are essential to the productive
ness of the soil. OF one such class we
class is yet procurabie at greatly ad-
Vanced prices, but the supply of the
third has been cut off entirely and there
seems to be no way OF replacing 1t. This
lost fertilizer Is potash, which we for
merly imported from Germany at the
rate OF s20,0C0.000 worth yearly, and on
which the German Government has now
placed an embargo.
Thrown on it's own resources in the
matter of potash at a time when 1t is
imperatively needed. the country is in
Vestigating domestic resources in the
matter. The great kelp beds of the Pa
cifc coast, running all the way from
Lower California to Alaska, seem to
be the most promising; but many diff
f1culties will have to be overtaken be-
fore the industry is on the commercial
basis. Kelp is the big sea-weed that
grows in great profusion along the Pa
cifc coast, so thickly In spots as to
keep the waves from rising even in a
high gale. 1t is utilized by drying and
grinding. The product contains a va
rety of valuable potash salts in soluble
form, as we'll as iodine and several
other marketable chemicals. 1t has an
almost ideal consistency for use in mix
ed fertilizers, and great things were
hoped from it for n time.
Three large concerns have started
manufacturing potash from kelp, but
they are offered such attractive prices
for their product for other uses that
none of it is going into fertilizer. NUM-
tionmakers need large quantities of
potash. and Just at present they are in
a position to pay for It,. II also goes
to make matches. glass, liquid soap and
variety of other commodities, the
manufacturers of which are outbidding
the fertilizer men. Moreover. the pro-
duction of potash from kelp is still
so limited that it would not greatly af-
feet the situation in any case.
