(, Gov. Harding has decided well in
deciding not to call an extra ses-
sion of the legislature to enact a
! law requiring Iowa people, to buy
government bonds. The people of
this state will do their duty in that
direction without an influencing
statute, and will do as much as 9th
er states of equal wealth.

A GERMAN TO GERMANS.

due in more than one educational
institution.
A GERMAN TO GERMANS.
Dr. Hermann Rosemeier, until re-
Gently the political editor of the
Berlin Morgenpost, now sojourning
in Switzerland for the benefit of his
health and to save his hide from
the shooting squad, has written an
open letter to the German people in
which he reviews the causes leading
up to the war and pointing to those
responsible for it. The responsible
ity is laid at the door of the German
Junker and the war lords, and the
evidence is adduced to prove every
statement. The Freeman-Tribune
cannot give space to all that Mr..
Rosemeier says, owing to the length
of his letter, but wishes every citi-
zen in the United States could read
it. 1t rings true for the Brother
hood of man and fastens beyond per-
adventure the responsibility for this
great war where it justly belongs.
In closing his remarkable and fer
vent letter, the great German editor
and democrat writes as follows:
German people, when will you
awake from your sleep? When will
your eyes be opened and when will
you cease to be patient as lambs?
Do you still not realize that it is for
your deadliest enemies that you are
fighting? You are fighting for the
factory magnates who would fain
crush you under foot. You are fight
ing for the spectators fattening
upon your property. You are fight
ing for an officers corps whose
ranks are sealed up SO that your
sons cannot enter them. You are
fighting for government which is
the tool Of your oppressors. You are
fighting for chancellor who, by
speaking Of solemn treaties as
scraps of paper" has destroyed
Germany's moral prestige through
out the world. You are fighting for
an emperor, who, as Bismarck fore
saw and foretold, by his irresponsi-
BILE, boundlessly ambitious foreign
policy has brought about the fatal
tension between Germany and Eng
land, and whose thoughtless, def
ant speeches have created the at
mosphere of suspicion and distrust
which weighed heavily on Europe
long before this war. You are fight
ing for a crown prince OF Prussia
for whom the war is pleasant ex-
element; for crown prince of Ba-
varia who is not ashamed to utter
scarcely yelled hints that Defense
less prisoners should be murdered,
and for whole pack of princely
families who are a useless burden
upon the country's purse. You are
fighting for general staff and an
admiralty whose cruel and barbar-
Gus methods of warfare in fragrant
violation of international law, have
made your once good name abhorred
by all the world today and will
make it abhorred by that of tomor-
row. You are fighting that the
rule OF the Prussian Junker may be
strengthened anew, and that the
Prussian corporaps stick may thrash
out of the men of southern and
western Germany what little free
dom and individuality they have
with difficulty succeeded in preserv-
ing. In brief, you are fighting for
the perpetuation of your own slav-
cry"

Bathe in Moonlipht.

The pale moonlight that bathes each
night the several hundred frame build
ings at Fort Benjamin Harrison which
house the student officers and the reg
ular army men, shines also over the
tents of two Indiana National Guard
companies, the First Indiana field hos
pltal and ambulance company No. 1.
Late In the afternoon is bath time
with the student officers, and with the
regulars, and the lighthouses, one for
each company, are about the busiest
places at the fort, especially after q
round Of trench-digging. But the men
of the field hospital don't care for
bathing in the afternoon. Night time
is the time for them. Their bath
houses are as open as the air, the
bathing facilities provided consisting
only of showers set up In the open
back of their camp. So, late In the
evening, guards are set out and forms,
pallid in the moonlight, emerge from
the tents, run to the showers, shiver
in the cold water, and beat hasty
retreat to the tents.-Indianapol

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

What is to become Of the flnda-
mental doctrine of personal liberty;
that man may eat and drink what he
pleases2 What Is to become Of the
theory that the development of stand
ard and sterling qualities in man can
only be accomplished by stress and
strain and temptation? These are Sc
riOus questions that go to the root of
human progress.
The right Of the individual to eat
and drink what he pleases and wear
the clothes that he likes Is restricted
by the fundamental principle that a
mans actions shall not threaten evil
to society at large. If one insists on
eating poisoned food and giving 1t to
his family, he threatens the existence
of the state. If one should choose to
walk the streets naked, he would Of
fend the rights of other people, and
thus threaten society. Doctor Mary
Walker found that woman's clothes
hampered her activities as a war
nurse. She had, however, to get an
act Of congress to permit her to wear
a mans garb undisturbed. This may
seem silly thing. In so far as can
see, woman does not threaten So
ciety In any way by wearing mans
garb. She only threatens convention,
and yet the law regulates wearing ap-
parel in the interests Of decency, pro-
priety, and good morals. The drink
ing Of intoxicating beverages is
threat not only to the man who drinks,
but to society at large, and thus, with
out interfering with the fundamental
rights of the individual or restricting
a proper personal liberty, the state
may say, "Thou shalt not drink"

CUT OFF THE SUPPLY.

It is estimated that the traffic
teaches four out Of five of all Ameri-
can boys to drink liquor in some form
before they reach their majority. Deny
to this liquor traffic the channels Of
trade; do it nationally. You get, of
course, some results when you do 1t
locally. You get larger results when
you do 1t as a county. You get still
larger and better results when you
do it as a state, but do 1t nationally,
and ultimately internationally! Dry
up the sources of supply.-Richmond

Temperance
HOW ABOUT THE REvENuE7
Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union)

HOW ABOUT The REVENUE2
Upon one occasion when / was en-
gagged In prohibition campaign in
Canada" says Prof John A. Nichols
Of Boston, there came into the county
seat good-natured Irishman, the pos
SCISSOR of farm in an adjoining town.
One Of the would-be liquor sellers met
MN and at once proceeded to pour
forth his tale Of woe. Pat, said he,
l hear that you are going to vote to
continue this prohibition law. Now,
that means the ruin Of the county !;
grass will grow in the streets, and
business will be ruined. You have
farm over In Melbourne, and you will
not be able to sell your butter, your
eggs, or your turkeys With woe-be-
gone countenance he described the
scene, and told Of the awful calamities
that would befall the county unless
licenses were granted to men to sell
liquor.
Pat listened to the story with pc
culiar expression upon his face, then,
with a comical twist of his eye, with
one question, he punctured the bubble.
'Bedad,' said he, and would they take
away the mouth of you, thenT The de-
mand for food would still continue
and Pat felt that his farm was safe.
"Grass will grow in the streets, say
the liquor advocates, and the schools
will be closed, unless whisky can be
sold upon the street corners. Well,
II 1t III grass or whisky, / am in favor
Of grass. A cow will eat grass, give
milk, and keep someone alive, but a
saloon cannot run and do business
without debasing someone and adding
to the sum of human misery and sor-
row."

quoted as saying that not only does the
soul exist after death, but 1t can be

he thinks he is an original discoverer

less than ten seconds we had fired our

passengers hurried for their life
preservers, but no one was unduly ex.
cited. Some say the first shell we
fired hit her, but that was something
no one could tell. At any rate our
guns continued to fire for seven or
eight minutes, letting so thirteen
shells in all, and after that, there be-
Ing no further sign or sight Of the u
boat, we continued on our way.
"The captain of our ship, at the first
warning, started to hit q zlgzag
course, and all the other measures
now used on liners to clrcumvent the
undersea boats were brought into
play while the danger threatened.
Some OF these measures are very
novel and ingenious and have helped
other ships as well as ours In wardlng
Off attacks. It was the opinion on
board that to escape as we did, with
the perlscope so near US was miracu-
lous.
"'rhe man who sighted the peri
scope was the lookout on the port
gun. He had been scanning the
waters some time with his glasses
and was about TO lay them down for
minutes rest. However whim
struck him to first count some ships
which lay together at anchor close to
the shore. He called to his mates as
he did so, beginning: 'One-two'-
then his glasses accidentally slipped In
his grip and fell on the precise spot
where the perlscOpe was just poking
up Its nose. He was so surprised
and taken aback that II was some sec
onds before he could blurt out Peri
scopep No one else saw It, and
II Is certain that II he did not spot Ii
at the moment he did II would have
gained the necessary time to swing

Ruses to Lure Victims.
"The remainder of our trip passed
without exciting incident, although
we received the usual scares that are
passing up and down the ocean these
days.
"One of the ruses Of submarines to
lure ships to destruction Is to fit a
false exterior to the submarine and
equip her with a sail to. present the
appearance Of small fishing boat.
Another is to put collapsible lifeboat
in the water filed with dummy fig.
ures to look like the survivors of a
torpedoed ship and hide the perlscope
behind her. Another is to capture q
small vessel, put an officer aboard and
maneuver her TO conceal from an up
preaching ship the half-submerged
submarine which lies alongside.
There are others which It would not
be proper to disclose. A favorite
strategy Of the submarine, which,
however, can only be worked at GER
tain hours Of the day, is to lay well
Off in the path Of the sea and when
q ship is seen and her course and
speed noted, to submerge and come up
suddenly at a convenient angle and
torpedo her"
