DEFIES THE WORLD AND GOD

While the submarine war as conducted by Germany
violates all rules of and is practically piracy it is but
trife to attack she has made civilization IN another
way Carl Alderman who was the United Press cor
respondent at Berlin from the inception of the war until
he left with Ambassador Gerard when the United States
severed diplomatic relations with Germany, and who had
excellent opportunity to know all the facts, tells the
story without comment stating the bare facts and back
ing them up with statements from officials and city
ordinances. This is story Of deliberate attack on the
Institution of marriage. According to this writer giving
birth to legitmate child is considered praiSeworthy
act and girls encouraged to bear children the sup
ply of material for the kaisers armies may be kept up
The cities provide physicians and hospitals for these girls
give them vacation of month under full pay and assist
in caring for the babies Due to this encouragement and
that the girls are taught believe is patriotic duty
to raise children for the Faherand the birth rate of
egitmaes has increased in the cities from Is per cent
in 1914 to 45 per cent in 1916.
Dr. Engleman one of the aldermen of Berlin stated
there 100000 legitimate children born in Ger
many since the started and that this number in
creasing in Berlin at the rate of 10000 annually. Ony
vigorous rich increase in childbirth make up for
the loss OF life which the brings daily,
said this same doctor.
In striking at marriage as he does the kaiser is str
ing at the very foundation Of civilization He lays the
foundation instead for unmarried and therefore
homeless world. He calls the divine function Of
motherhood to supply the material for his soldiers He
would destroy the homes of Germany break up the family
relation and strike the word virtue from the German
vocabulary for the sole purpose Of pepeuatng Pssan
ntarism. To put it brutaly he would the German
girls just stock breeder does his cows to increase his
herds While the German soldier is at the front offering
his life for the maintanence of this PruSsan SYSTEM his
kaiser would prostitute his wife and his daughters to
raise soldiers Surely the German soldier must have
patriotism different from any other to stand this kind
Of treatment
1t is not difficult to cause such conditions as Ackeman
describes; but when the is what? When ma
TONS taught that chastity is wrong how long
will it be after this lesson has been well learned, before
its effects are counteraced? The ruthless submarine
warfare is defiance of the laws Of civilized nations but
the teaching of utter disregard Of the martial relation is
defiance of the laws of God If anything was needed to
emphasize the necessity Of utterly destroying the rule of
PIussianism this surely should suffice.

REGISTRATION DAY QUIET
THROUGHOUT THE NATION

Last Tuesday was registration day
when over 10,000,OO0 of Americas S
young men between the age of 81 and
81 years of all shades and nationali-
ties solemnly subscribed to uphold
the nation in its determination to
forever rid the world from Prussian
rule D
AS on previous occasion, when
our congress had declared war ON
Germany, and the Kaiser had said
that he had one and one-half millions
of reseryists in this country to guard
his interests, even so had the Ger
man government boasted that with
their excellent spy system, aided by
American sla ckers and pacifists, the
presidents call fer the regi istration
of 10000. 900 men fer military train
ing. would be attended by riots and
general disorder of government au-
thority.
But these enemies of free institu-
tions had reckoned without their
host. and little understood the ties
thar transform those from every clin e
into freedoms melting pc: when once
they land upon Americas liberty low
Ing shores. The few American Tor
les, |, w. w. German sriss and an
archists, had made preparations to
thwart the powers of the government
and bring the stain Of apa hy upcn
the escutoheon of this fair republic,
but the youth of the lard. initiating
the example Of their foresar hers. raj.
lied to the protection of that starry
bedecked banner that was born
amidst carnage and bondage. and car
ried to freedoms heiRhih when Lord
Ccrnwallis surrendered at Yorktown,
and wherever it's silken fields have
been unfurled to the breeze, has 1t
waved for peace, unity and plenty.
Although 1t was said by the paci-
fist that blood would flow from the
carrying into execution Of the law,
the day was observed throughout the
nation with no material disturbance
or acts Of mob violence. showing con-
clusively that all nationalities appre.
ciate and love the land that makes
welcome the stranger who Genes to
Its arms. The rro-German and paci-
list have played their trump card and

Luminous Ewes.

Cats among mammals, and owls
among birds, says w. II. Hudson in his
book "1dle Days In Patagonia" are the
most highly favored of any creatures
In the matter of luminous eyes. "The
feline eyes, as of n puma or wildcat,
blazing with wrath, sometimes affect
one like an electric shock; but for in
tense brilliance the yellow globes Of
the owl are unparalleled" Mr.. Hud-
son asserts that nature has done COM
paratively little for the human eye
either in these terrifying splendors or
in beauty. He says that in Brazil he
was greatly impressed with the mag
nificent appearance of many of the ne
gro women; but that II they had only

their "unlque loveliness" would have

To Make Book Plates.

One way to make effective book
plates is to have a stencil, through
which you can work up the slips in
water-cOlOrs. Stencils are cut from
oiled stencil paper or board, but If
you are going to make very many,
it might be well to have a metal stem
ell cut, as the paper or cardboard will
soon wear out. Look through the maga-
zines for some appropriate design or
group and trace it to your stencil pa
per. Cut 1t up into little portions, as
you would jlgsaw puzzle, so that all
the design is in parts, all Joined by
small bridges" to each other. Cut
out the design. leaving the bridges
firm, with sharp knife. holding the
stencil over glass or marble as you cut.
When complete proceed to color
through the stencil onto thin cardboard
or water-color paper. A dozen or so Of
these book plates at n time will not be n
strenuous task and the result will
easily repay labor.

The Flood Legends.

Some have sought an explanation Of
the food legends in the story Of the
drowning Of the mythical continent Of
Atlantis. This Is fascinating exer-
else for the imagination, rendered more
attractive by the faint indications from
geology that there may once have been
a continent in the midst Of the Attain
tic ocean. But If so, we are carried
back to an age so remote that it Is
virtually impossible to correlate\ 1t
with the existence of man, and particu-
larly with man in such state of de-
velopment as that which the legends
depict.
The deluge story is so persistent in
human annals that 1t must have had
an origin in some actual event, or
series of events, but science, at pres
ent, can throw no definite light upon
1t, and study of the myth-making fac
ulty, so strong in primitive humanity,
must be relied on to clear up the mys-
terry Of Its universal diffusion.-Gar.

Back Yard Agriculture.

A movement for backyard agricul.
ture." inaugurated in Ontario, should
be extended to this country, says the
Providence Bulletin. 1t is not neces-
sary to have large tract of land for
gardening. Much can be done ut small
expense on city yard of ordinary
size. An area of 40 by 80 feet is worth
cultivating. Tomatoes, lettuce, rad
ishes, beans and onions, all valuable
food products, can be grown within
the limits of house lot. Backyard
agriculture" will not support the peo-
pie, but 1t will add materially to the
food supplies Of the country, and thus
VIII have effect upon prices. The
Canadian government is wise in its
advocacy Of "a vegetable garden for
every hOme."
