American Gunners Shoot True.

Last Tuesday the American gunners
on the U. S. steamship Algonquin, a
$4,000 ton steel ship formerly in the
Pacific service, sighted German sub
marine and did not wait for attack but
promptly opened fire and with the first
shot sent the sub to the bottom. The
sinking took place near the coast OF
England. A curious incident is told
to the effect that the guns had all re-
ceived a name and the one that fired
the fatal shot had been named Teddy
Roosevelt. In this connection it may
not be out of place to say that so far
$4,000 men, none of whom are over
Is, have applied for admission to the
Roosevelt contingent to be sent to
Europe. Ten thousand of these are
negros.

peril and those ideas for which so
much OF the worlds best blood has
been spilled through the centuries will
be in danger Of extinction. 1t seems
to me common sense that we begin
our defense by immediate attack,
when the demon is occupied, and
when we can command assistance.
Let US make war upon Germany
not from revenge, not to uphold hair
splitting bubbles OF international law.
But let US make war with our whole
heart and with all our strength because
Germany worships one God and we
another, and because the lion and the
lamb cannot lie down together. One
or the other must perish.
LET US make war upon the Germany
of the Junkerthum, the Germany OF
frightfulness, the Germany Of arrogance
and selfshness. And let US swear not
to make peace until the imperial Ger
man government is the imperial Ger

WASHINGTON STATE
HARVESTFRS LEAGUE
Organizing the Stay-at Homes to Help
Harvest the Farm Crop Coming
Summer and Fall.

Mayor Hale received a circular the
past few days asking him to cooperate
with the league organized In Seattle to
marshal the stay at-homes to help
gather the fruits and grains the coming
summer and fall. The organization Of
this force can not begin too soon.
Their help will be needed. Every
body is urged to plant but unless the
yield is gathered and preserved the
planting will have been in vain. One
can plant as much as five can harvest.
The planting time is long but the
harvesting is short. Even if the war
should be over by mid summer all the
food that can be raised in the United
States will be needed. The fighting
millions OF Europe must be fed until
the 1918 harvest is made. The
circular is self explanatory and reads as
follows.
To render service to the country by
assuring the prompt harvesting Of the
states crops
To give the individual not otherwise
enlisted an opportunity to do his or
her Bit
To raise thousands Of dollars for the
Red Cross
These are the opportunities which
the Washington State Harvesters
League offers to the people Of the state.
The country must wage this war
with bushels as we'll as with bullets;
with the scythe as we'll as with the
sword. The last square yard of earth
should be cultivated and garnering
must follow the growing.
The state this summer and fall will
face shortage of farm labor unless re-
cruits are obtained from sources here
tofore untapped. Able bodied men
are needed in our shipyards, munition
plants, and in all our industrial pursuits.
Such works must not pause even for
the gathering Of crops, so we must look
elsewhere for our farm hands.

Some Reflections on The War
By The Editor.

On the battle field the war situation
has not materially changed this week.
The allies have made only slight
territorial gains. The fighting has
been more in the open and under
conditions developed in the present
war has been OF the most sanguinary
kind. Indeed it is said the bloodiest
battles OF the war have taken place
this week in the vicinity Of San Quentin,
on French territory. The stories OF a
German demonstration against Russia
in an effort to take Petrograd from the
rear have occupied prominent place
in the press dispatches.
Very little news comes out Of Ger
many. The very fact that such as
comes is of an ominous character
makes those who are keeping close tab
on the war look for something to
happen. A strike among the munition
workers this week seems to have been
put down with the threat to make all
who did not desist 60 to the firing line.
Later rumors, reaching the world thru
the Vatican, probably the most reliable
source Of German news just now in
dicates that the strike feeling has only
been suppressed and will again break
out next Tuesday, Mayday, which is a
labor holiday. The lack OF sufficient
food for even the munition workers,
not to speak Of the balance Of the at
home" population, is beginning to
give trouble.
There is every indication that the
German people are beginning to realize
that they have been duped by the Kai-
ser and his Yunkers. They also begin
to have doubts about the solvency Of

FRUIT GROWERS FIGHT
INCREASED RAIL RATES
CONTINUED from first pagel

Concerning the proposed increase j..
Curtis Robinson chairman of the
transportation committee Of the Fruit
Growers Agency and Traffic Manager
OF the Northwestern Fruit Exchange
wired the Wenatchee World:
The tentative permission granted by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to the railroad to file supplemental
tariffs for general increase of IS per
cent in rates is mistake so far as the
apple industry is concerned. This
will mean ~ cents additional freight
for each box OF apples to Mississippi
river and eastern points. The burden
means still further disproportionate
handicap against US in our competition
with Eastern fruit in Eastern markets.
We will be able to show that it is not
W Tic lulCIcStS vi TIC idllIOduo thCui
selves to advance their rates. The
ventilated freight rate to consuming
markets to points mentioned is equal
to $1.65 per barrel, while apples from
most Eastern districts Approximate a
rate OF so cents a barrel. That is the
present handicap we have to overcome.
When you add IS per cent to each oil
these rates our handicap is still greater.
A car Of apples from the Northwest
would be burdened an additional $45
in freight; I have little doubt as to
the views Of the apple industry on this
question. Our burden Of freight rate
to Eastern points is largely too great,
and feel confident also that the rail-
roads themselves will appreciate our
protest once it is called to their
attention"

the partnership composed Of Me Und
Gott." When they fully realize that
they have been used merely as pawns
to further the ambitions of the Kaiser
something will crack. The German
people are all right. The worst that
can be said about them is that they
have allowed themselves to be duped
by the German aristocracy into believing
they were attacked by England before
the Emperor drew his sword. The
world has much to learn from Germany.
We do not want to see Germany dis
membered but we do hope to see the
Kaiser and his Yunkers driven into the
deep sea for the good of the civilized
world. German civilization deserves
to be preserved. Nay, it will be pre-
served, not by the Kaiser but by the
people themselves. They will set up
d government based on the consent Of
the governed. They will not tolerate
secret diplomacy and intrigue, one of
the worst foes to freedom, and the
strong support OF autocrats. If not
today, they will tomorrow realize with
what tremendous price in German
blood they squared their loyalty to the
ruling class. They have begun to real
ize that God was never with them, or
is he was he has now turned over to
the allies. verifying an old adage, that
God always fights on the side Of the
strongest.
Yes, the world may look for some
important news from the seat of war in
the good month of May, unless all
signs are misleading and indications
point no where.

In washington there are thousduuo
of lawyers, doctors, dentists, bankers,
preachers. architects students, ac-
countants, stenographers, statesmen,
clerks (both Office and store),
musicians, merchants and people OF
many other callings who are beyond
the years from which enlistments for
military purposes will come. The one
great question Loyalty stirring within
them is: what can I do to help1"
On hundreds OF thousands OF acres
and on hundreds OF thousands OF trees
within the state sustenance TO keep
warm the blood of the United States
and her allies is sprouting. How can
it be gathered when it is ready for the
harvest3.
All the doctors, lawyers, and others
make practice OF having at least two
weeks holidays each summer. The
purpose OF the holiday is for recreation
in the form OF active and energetic out
door exercise. A man will expend
more energy in rolling stump down
to the beach for a bon fire than an
ordinary farmland will expend on
days work; young woman will exhaust
herself more completely at swimming,
tennis or golf than will the girl who
picks fruit from dawn to darkness.
1t is the leagues desire to harness
this holiday energy to the agricultural
necessities OF the state.
Spend your holidays on farm or in
an orchard!
Do your bit in a way that will bring
you all the physical advantage that the
usual form of holiday provides and in
addition, the mental satisfaction OF
knowing that you are doing your bit in
practical way to help your country on
to victory.
The farmer will pay you for the work
but the glow will be lessened if it is
gilded-and the Red Cross is urgently
in need of more money than it can
hope to collect.
You have saved for the holiday you
have been planning. Let your savings
remain in the bank; retain from your
pay check the actual amount expended
by you in reaching the scene of your
work and return home, and give the
rest to the Red Cross.
Committees will be organized in all
the centers Of population in the state.
Applicants will be enrolled by them.
Pending their organization, applications
should be addressed to the League,
$50 Central Building, Seattle.
Application forms may be obtained
from the mayor of any city or from any
Chamber OF Commerce or Commercial
Club.
Fifty thousand names are necessary.
In July, August and September the
crops will be ready. If you will serve
two weeks in one of those months you
will be rated as one man or woman; if
you can serve one month you will
count as two people towards the fifty
thousand. Boys and girls from 16 years
and upwards are needed.
In addition to enrolling there is I'M
limited opportunity for you to help by
urging your friends and acquaintance
to join with you. The whole move
ment is a volunteer one; the members
nj the committee nil give all Of their
time that is necessary to the work.
DO YOUR BIT!
Make up party OF your friends and
we will assign you to work together.
II you are interested and wish to
help write the Washington State
