1T Is Of the highest importance that
public opinion in the neutral countries
shall not turn against us. The neu-
trails cannot understand how 1t Is pos.
sible that the Allies. claiming 10 fight
for right and justice. can permit one
of the Allied nations to place a whole
race outside of the pale of law and to
attempt its determination.
The Russian atrocities against the
Jews gravely endanger the material
interests OF the Entente and especially
OF Russia herself. The Allied powers
need the financial aid Of the United
States more and more. but it can only
be had IL there is a reconciliation be-
tween the American republic and the
Russian Empire.
!. The prosecution OF the Jews in
Russia must stop if we want to win
the war. England and France who are
protecting the Jews OF Russia under
the treaty of Berlin. will have to act if
irreperable damage to their cause is
TO be averted. The Russian govern
ment must be compelled to change it's
policy and to treat the Jewish race
humanely."

THE AERO CLUES EFFORT.

For a long time the Aero club of America has recognized the failure in this country to develop the flying ma chine. In spite of the fact that it was this country which first showed that a heavier than air machine was feas- ible, it has been the nations of Eu- rope which have grasped the import ance of it and proceeded to develop it to its highest pitch.
 The necessity of awakening in creased interest in aviation, having been recognized by this organization. it has gone about it's task in a de- termined manner. It has striven to create greater enthusiasm in the de- velopment of the aeroplane not only for military purposes but for commer- cial purposes, and the recent offer of attractive prizes for flight across the continent is but one of the methods which it has adopted to such an end.
 Whether this will suffer from the same trouble as did the effort of the postofffce department to secure bids for aeroplane service in the carryins of mails remains to be seen. The builders of flying machines are busy on military orders but the coast to coast flight doesn't tie the contestants down to fixed service and 1t doesn't, mear large forfeiture if it is not carried out, such as would be the case in car rying the mails. It does, however offer an incentive for lively compe- tition and for the displaying of the merits of the different kinds of flyers and 1t is just such competitions which are needed to bring about better knowledge Sf aeronautics. There is no telling but what this very contest will show that mail carrying contracts can be undertaken without the ele. ment of uncertainty which seems tc prevail at the present time. It is one of the several ways in which the Aero club is rendering valuable assistanc, to aviation

Stories of the War
A German Officers Letter.

The following letters found upon officers and soldiers of the German army taken prisoner around Verdun, are given out at French headquarters as indicating the state of mind of the officers since the failure of the first assault, and of the feeling of the sol- diers' families at home:
 A letter written by Lieut.. Hordes of the S1st German infantry to his par ents says: Our losses in officers are so considerable that I was obliged to take command of the Sth company. We are now in the first line, and I am crouched in a little mud-hoIe that must protect me from the fragments of the enemy's shells that come unin- terruptedly. I have seen a great deal in the course of this war, but I had not yet been in a situation so indes- criba.bly frigntful. We are day and night under a frightfuI artillery fire
 The French are making a monstrously stubborn resistance. On the 11tf, when we made an assault upon the French trenches after a considerable artillery preparation of twelve hours, we found the French machine guns were still absolutely intact, so that our first wave of aSsailantS was i'm mediately moved down on leaving the trench. At the same time, the French opened up a barring fire that made it impossible to think of any further at tack. We were unable and are still
 unable to bury our dead. There they l lie, most lamentable sight, the poor devils, in their muddy holes, for all the routes are swept without ceasing
 by the French artillery. We have
 dead and wounded every day. Whether we are taking our wounded back to
 safety, or whether we are going back
 for our rations two miles in the rear
 to the movable kitchens, the danger of death is the same, until our men pre- fer to suffer from hunger than to go l after anything to eat Tn addition to l the danger of death from shell fire, nearly every man in my, company is 1 i'll, exposed as they are to the rain all | day and obliged to lie in the mud all night during eight consecutive days ] and nights. I hope that I will have i the good luck to get out of here alive, i because there is no means here of even I being properly buried"
 l A letter from a woman in Aplerback to a soldier made prisoner, recounts i incidents indicating a very efferves- cent state of mind among the popuIa- i tion at DoFtmund: "A woman asked 1 for help, because her husband is in the
 army and she is unable to support her six children. As further help was re- fused, she slapped the commissariat of | police, who killed her. A crowd o1 I women collected in the Lentenstrasse

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Potato Seed.

Mir Editor: In a recent Bulletin it is stated that a lecturer in the Con- necticut Agricultural institute has off, fered S25 for a single potato ball, and that search of the state has thus far proved fruitless. If I knew his address I could put him in the way of getting more seed than one ball would contain at 8 cost of 25 cents or less. Of course I'D balls are to be found at this season. but as there are balls on my potatoes every year September at much less than his quot ed figure.
 About the year 1860 my father had small field of potatoes of the old Peachblow variety which, according to my remembrance. had about as many bushels of seed balls on the vines as there were potatoes, and the yield was by no means poor. Some va- rieties produce balls far more freely than others, and the Peachblow was one of the prolific ones. The writer of these lines has often thought of the difference in yield of balls in those days as compared with recent years, and believes the soil has been depict ed of some element needed for the production of potato seed. Yet why the same family, and grows seed in abundance. Possibly if the tomato was grown as is the potato wholly from cuttings. it's seed producing dis position would grow less in the course of years. Still there is an abundance of potato seed for all the experimenters, Aybridizers and would be originators of new varities.

TIE APPAM CASE.

Secretary Lansing's decision which has just dbeen made public regarding the status of the AppSm. the British shin which was captured by the Ger man raider Moewe on the other side of the Atlantic and sent to this coun- try under command of German of- ficer, shows that the request Of the German ambassador that the vessel be allowed to remain in this country un- til the war Is over cannot be com piled with.
 In asking that the vessel be in- termed, reference was made to the provisions of the treaty between this country and Prussia which was nego- tiated back in 179s. A careful study has been made of that document with the result that the secretary of state finds that the case in question is not covered thereby. The portion of the treaty which was depended upon to support the request refers to the vessel of warwhich has brought In prize and elsewhere throughout the treaty sirni- lar reference is made, but nowhere does it speak of such a case as that in question, for the Appam was not brought in by warship but came to this country under it's own steam, fly- ing the German flag and with an off, cer in command from the German navy.
 The situation has been complicated by the case being carried to the courts of this country, which was the req son for the delay in announcing the ruling of Secretary Lansing, but when 1t is held that the Appam can enjoy only such privileges in American waters as are usually granted by maritime nations, including Germany, to prizes of war, namely, to enter neu- tral ports only in case of stress of weather, want of fuel and provisions, or necessity of repairs, but to leave as soon as the cause of their entry has been removed', it must be real ized that there is nothing in the agreements between this country and Germany which would permit of any other position being taken.

STRENGTHEN THE NAVY NOW.


 When the naval committee of the house. in consideration of the plan to strengthen the navy. puts aside the plan of Secretary Daniels of scatter Ing such additions as may be made over a period of five years and decides to get busy at once in bracing up the weak points in the first line of de- fense, it shows an attitude that ought to have been manifested some time ago. It means getting down to bus ress on a question of vital import ance, and certainly there is nothing of 1eeper concern in providing an ade- 1uate defense. and in making provis- on for the maintenance of friendly citations with other nations, than a 5trong navy.
 The committee favors the construc- acn during the 1917 fiscal year of 42 vessels for the navy, 20 of which would be submarines and ten destroy srg. but first of all it calls for the con itruction of five battle cruisers. This s a type of vessel of which this country is sadly in need. It has DOW rful and modern battleships, and it bad scout vessels and destroyers with peed, but it lacks that combination R {" Af1W AlOdlAIlB IOTLTeSS ana peed which is to be found in the bat le cruiser.

A Capitalists View of SociaIism.-By
 the author of From Boyhood to
 Manhood; introduction by Ben
 jamin Paul Blood. Published by
 Parker, Austin & Lipscomb, Inc, New York. Cloth, PA pages.
 The anonymous author, says MT. Blood in his introduction which has caught the familiar and intimate tone of the work, lis capitalist easy enough-some think multi-capital ist-but he regards his personal iden- tity as irrelevant at this time; and at best it could but aibet the mani fest assurance that this book is cordially intended to do some good. He is known to have had more and other than the common experience, lader at both ends: and now, when the westering pathos glooms the fer vent hours," he feels it just and be- coming to give as has been given him, with no more pretension than has come from a rather voIuminous and miscellaneous correspondence. The author does not pose as a 'highbrow but to the judicious, who can read between the lines there will appear in the leisurely pages a generous spirit which prosperity could never spoil, and a-native force and sagacity, which, unwearied by the strenuous life, react and overflow for the good of humanity with the world wisdom which has been at once the growth and the secret of a phenomenal success"

Tobacco Habit Easily Conquered -
 By M Mac Levy. Published by
 Albro Society, New York City. Cloth, 157 pages. Price $1.25 net.
 There are thousands of men-and women, too, for that matter-who use tobacco mot wisely, but too welr' and, entirely possessed of the fascinating habit, they over -indulge-.at lengtf J discovering that their nerves are shattered = their constitutions sadly impaired-yet, try as they may. no employment of will power or determi- nation seemingly can rid them of their shackles.
 To such as these, Prof. Mac Levy's somewhat unusual volume has been addressed and his intimate knowledge of his field is quite evident. He does not fall into the error of sco1ding or beseeching you to "see the light" A cheerful helpful optimism pervades his pages which tell you clearly, calm Iy and sympathetfcalIy what you can do for yourself if you would escape from the bondage of the weed.
 Written in the plainest and most di- rect style, the book is hound to fill a want hitherto unsupplied. It will be the means of bringing tranquility, better health and prosperity to many who are now in the thra1dom of ex- cessive nicotine addiction, whether the habit be that of smoking, chewing or snuff using.

 It is of course a fact as plain as yilght that this country has profited scatly by the war. This Is because ere have been avenues of trade pened which did not exist before his country has been looked to to Hnish supplies not only to those in- Mved in the war but to countries hich had previously depended upon o heiligerent. nations and which be- luse of the situation at home were tt able to supply the wants as they Ia ln the past.
