the sheep men are sharing their good fortune
represented by the unprecedented price they are
receiving for their wool with their employees, by
increasing the price paid for shearing 70 9 cents
per fleece. Last year when the price was raised to
eight cents it was thought that the figure was a
very generous one but an increase of one cent
over last years figure certainly makes the com

GERMANY AND SCANDINAVIA.

The German attitude toward Scan
dinavia, revealed in the last few days
is characteristicaly Prussian and illumi
mating to anyone who has not already
thoroughly assimilated the lesson OF
Belgium and Serbia.
The meeting Of the kings of Norway
Sweden and Denmark served as an un
mistakable warning to Berlin. Ii was
evident that those little kingdoms were
getting restive. They are bound by an
agreement to act together during this
war II required no great amount OF
perspicacity to guess that IL they joined
either side, they would join the Allies.
Norway the boldest of the three, has
shown unmistakable signs of hostility
to Germany.
The wrongs suffered by Norway were
recognized, even by the Prussians. as
justifying war. While observing strict
neutrality, Norway has had half her
merchant ships. more than 400 In all,
sunk ruthlessly by U-boats. with great
loss Of life. She has been especially
reused to righteous wrath by the mur-
derous shelling of her sailors in life
boats. II Norway had her will there
might be a joint declaration of war
against Germany. At least, there might
b expected mere friendly policy
toward the Allies.
The German government therefore
proceeded, with its usual delicacy, to
anticipate such a move. 1t announced,
through semi-official German newspa-
faI Of the
intention to grant Great Britain ana
the United States a naval base from
which they could proceed more advan-
tageously against the German fleet, and
that If Norway ventured to do so, Ger
many would consider il necessary to oc-
cupy Denmark as a counter-move.
There is little room to doubt that
Germany would carry out such threat
And what that would mean to Den
mark requires no elucidation Denmark
would be "Belgiumed." If the Danes
ventured to resist the violation of their
soil in the slightest degree, their homes
and public buildings would be burned,
their men would be shot, their women
would be violated, their cities would be
subjected to intolerable war levies. An
other charnel house would be added to
Germany's collection. And all that
through no fault of Denmark's-
no fault of Norway's even-merely be-
cause Norway dared to resent. in self
respecting way. the intolerable crimes
committed against her by Germany.
And so Scandinavia's hands are tied.
Norway and the Allies can hardly be
eynected to let Denmark suffer i'm
notation for their sake. 1t is like the
familiar device practiced by the Ger
man army on many fronts, of placing
women and children ahead of its troops
to check the enemy's fire.

PRISONERS TESTIMONY.

From Germany comes an interesting
account of the information obtained
form the first Americans captured as
prisoners of war. Our men were i'm
mediately subjected to the usual in
QUESTION. designed to extract informa'
tion valuable to their captors. 1t APP
pears that the matter of primary in
terest to the Germans in this case was
the opinion of the American army as to
why il was fighting. Three prisoners,
when asked why we entered war, are
said to have given the following reasons;
One replied that we had been driven
TO war by Germany's submarine at
tacks.
Another explained that we had gone
to war because we believed Germany
had wronged Belgium.
A third said that we wanted to help
France because of gratitude for what
Lafayette had done for us.
All of these statements We're true,
but none represented more than a small
part of the truth. The prisoners are
credited with rare tact i'm replying with
apparent candor and honesty, in a way
to disarm their inquisitors and refrain
ing from blurting out the whole dis
agreeable truth.
1t would hardly have done to tell
those Prussian officers to their faces
precisely what Americans think of
them and the brutal and murderous
system they represent. The time for
that will come later.

BIG EVENTS.

1t is always hard to appreciate the
sSgbificance of events when one is
close to them. Ii may be many years
before we get the full import of things
that are occurring in the United states.
1t is altogether possible that We under
stand what is going on in Europe better
than what is going on here at home.
When we finally obtain the pros
pective that time brings, we may decide
that the adoption of universal military
service was greater victory for de-
mocracy than the conquest of the u
boats: that the yielding of our giant
trusts to government control was a
bigger thing than the collapse of Rus
sia, and a gain amply compensating for
that tragedy; that the triumph OF IN
telligent teamwork shown in our pro-
duction of merchant ships. air fleets and
army trucks meant more than the
Austro-German drive into Italy; that the
pooling of our big railroad systems was
a greater victory than Gen. Byng's
smash at Cambrai that, in short. the
spiritual and economic changes now
taking place in the United States are
probably THE big things OF the war.
SO far as we are concerned-immensely
more important than any mere feats of
arms by our allies or ourselves.

TAKE DOWN YOUR
TATTERED FLAGS
By Pauline Worth Hamlin
of the Vigilantes.

All over this country there are now
flying faded. tattered flags.
If we do not respect The Flag our
selves whom shall we expect to respect
it?
The Stars and Stripes are our emblem
Shall 1t appear that We consider dirt
and tatters symbolic of our country
Never Our Flag should be as white
as the SHOWS, as blue as the skies. as
red as our blood and as whole as
our hearts. Let it be truly symbolic
and when the flag becomes bedraggled
take it down. If you cannot put up
another be happy in the consciousness
that you honor it far more by not fly
ing it at all than by flying it when ii
is faded, ragged and dirty.
