trucks, many of which embody the
very latest ideas in applying the
motor to farm work

performers this year will be seen on
Lakewood track.
The Women's exhibits will draw
thousands of women to the fair
grounds from every walk OF life.

Many Big Sacrifices

PETROGRAD, Apr. 1S.-The Russian
grand dukes. who have just ormally turned
over their 'appanges' or official grants, to
the new government. have made Il great fl
nancial sacrifice by this remuneration. The
grand ducal estates surrendered aggregates
more than 10000, 900 acres, including
thousands of prosperous farms and many
thriving towns and villages. The annual
income from these estates is estimated at

the necessity of making the imperial fam

emperor. Grand dukes who nave nj various
times incurred the di>plcasurc of the en-
peror and have exiled themselves, nave al
ways continued to receive their share of

was powerless to interfere.

The kaiser faces the ACKNOWLEDGMENT Oh
his dream of world empire and the end of
a personal power that has for many years
threatened civilization with the present
war. He is another of the long line of
reactionary figures who have taken the
feudal doctrines of the Middle Ages and
tried To drive back the irresistible growth
of individual rights and human liberty.
George III was n small character and stu
pid. Napoleon the First was a magnificent
tyrant. Napoleon the Third was schem-
ing and petty. But lone of these, though
they lived in supposedly less civilized
times, ever descended to the inhuman and

The indifference with which official and

on the common place that we cannot for

But we have already begun to affect the
military situation by affecting the tenn
per of Germany as a whole. We have al
ready begun to play a part in the war when
the Berlin Norwaerts can cry out fer an

SOUTH AMERICA AND GERMANY.

Brazirs action in severing diplomatic
relations with German provides cold COM
fort those German critics of President
Wilson who made so much of the fact that
other neutrals, and particularly those on
this hemisphere, did not Immediately foil
low the United States in breaking with
Germany after the declaration of unre-
stricted submarine warfare. Following
closely upon similar action on the part of
China, and the actual declaration of war
by Cuba, Brazilrs stand may he expected
TO have a still more far-reaehing effect
upon the other republics of South America.
Argentina's declaration of benevolent
neutrality toward the United States marks
but a stage in the development of a policy
that must become increasingly friendly TO
the allied cause and correspondingly hos
tile to Germany. Chile has declared her
self neutral, and for various reasons may
remain so, although it Is not anticipated
that Chile will, in the long run, be found
at odds with fhe other great Latin meri-
can powers. In the absence of definite ac-
ton by the smaller states. it may be as
sumed that in their own time most, if not
all, of the countries to the south. with the
exception of Mexico, will be lined up with
the United States and Brazil.
German newspapers professed to see in
the failure of South America to follow
tho United States Immediately in breaking
relations proof of a%ntagonism on the part
of South America against this government.
Now we doubtless viii hear hat the
United States has forced the weaker states
to take action. Such motives a. displayed
by Cuba and Brazil are incomprehensible

misunderstood, but it has remained for the
