Rules for D~isloyalists
LITERARY Digest.

The insidious and subtle character of lat
ter-day pro-German propaganda is noted by
the Boston News Bureau. DR.. Edward T.
Devine has pointed out in The Survey New
York; that many of those clamoring fol
peace the loudest have had to make nice
calculations as to how far they can go in
opposition to the national will and still keer
out of jail" The Independent (New York;
has compiled, with the utmost care and re-
g~ardless of expense, ten rules which, il
says, Summarize in a nutshell the methods
and experience of the most successful prac
titioners of disfoyalty." Here are its "rules
for dfsloyalists:"
II. When driven to make an unequivocal
statement protest your loyalty and then
change the subject.
20. Assert on every occasion that Wal
Street made the war. Never mind explain.
ing when, how, or why.
90. Get in all the sneers you can at any
professions of ideal motives If you can find
any flaw in our democracy say that we are
just as bad an autocracy as Germany Use
the word hypocrisy at every opportunity.
Place the war in as sordid a light as pos
sibIe..
a. 1t is dangerous to denounce the
United States directly. But rake history
from end to end for mud to throw at the
allies. Especially, twist the lions tail.
SO. Profess great concern lest sending
food to Europe will starve America. Sup
port every embargo movement that applies
to the allied nations int none that does not.
"6. II the president asks for any extern
sion Of power rave about dictatorship and
the overthrow OF the liberties for which our
fathers. etc
81. Spread rumors that the allies are go
ing to betray us or take advantage of us
as soon as we are deeply enough involved
in the war.
g. Accept CONSUMPTION In principle but
hamper its working in every possible way.
One good way is to start scares about revo-
luton and internal disorder as a pretext
for Keeping a large part Of the army at
home.
80. Demonstrate that the enemy is I'M
conquerable and victory hopeless. Play
the candid friend and act as a depressant,
10. Be very Jealous to prevent 'entang-
ling alliances and be much concerned about
the Monroe Doctrine if we mix ourselves
in European quarrels.' A permanent league
VI nations would emDdIIdss your JunkeT
friends il they remain in power after tho
war. Germany can only hope to conquer
other nations If they act seItishly and in
ISOLATION
TO these the Chicago Herald would add;
Oppose sending our boys to France to save
the country and insist on the war being
fought on our own soil" and when caught
in the hamstringing act mention the names
Of Washington and Lincoln"

Fail If Risa

The official announcement tnat Hussia
has evacuated Riga recalls a prediction that
was made a short time ago when the posi-
bilty Of such action was discussed by anna
of Bothnia, the entrance to which is COM
suggestion was made at that time that the
loss Of Riga might lead to a decisive naval
battle in the Baltic. II such action should
result in an allied victory 1t might spell
the early collapse OF Germahy's defense.
Riga is the great Russian naval base,
The action reported from Petrograd ind,
Gates that the Gulf of Riga along with the
city has been surrendered to the Germans
The withdrawal does not menace Petrograd
directly, but threatens Finland and all Rus
STA that could be reached through the Gull
of Bothnia. tn entrance to which is com
manded by the Riga base. The loss OF RI
ga might enable Germany to land north
west of Petrograd and start an attack from
the rear.
The loss of the Russian base at Riga is
almost certain to develop naval activity
in the Baltic. The Russian fleet probably
has withdrawn to Revel, at the entrance oil
the Gulf of Finland, which leads to Petro
grad. But with a German base at Riga. q
clash between the two fleets probably will
not be long delayed. The suggestion has
been made that the additions Of our force
to the allied feet has given strength enough
to warrant going into the Baltic and ami
hilating the German war craft.
II a force sufficient to destroy the Ger
man fleet should be sent to the Baltic and
win a decision, the entire north coast Of
Germany would be open to invasion. This
allies could land troops, lombard ports ant
carry on a back fire that would force heavy
Withdrawals from the present war fronts
and probably make an early end to the
fighting.
The Kiel Canal has been the stumbling
block in the way Of an allied Offensive fl
the Baltic. The allies did not dare to risf
reducing the strength Of the feet in tbs
North Sea In order to send an adequate
force into the Baltic. The Germans in
stead Of giving battle in the Baltic might
have escaped through the canal and broker
through and defeated the weakened block
aiding force In the North Sea. .
The success of the campaign in the Bal
tic would depend upon having two allied
naval forces, each equal to the task of cop
ing with the German navy. 1t is argued
that the allies have such strength now and
that the time has come to remove the men
ace of the German fleet and to release the
great allied naval force for something more
active than mere patrol duty. The fall OF
Riga may be preliminary to a new and most
interesting phase Of war activity.

Fighting With Knife
and Fork

When you pick up your knife and forh
say this to yourself.
with these two weapons | can helr
America win the war as well as the soldier
who is digging a trench"
Our wheat crop is small this year and
this Is true in all parts Of the world from
which the allies can receive wheat by ships
The less wheat bread we use the more we
shall have for our armies, the armies oi
our allies, and the men, women and child
rem of our allies who are nov fighting in
the trenches.
Do not try to do entirely without wheat
but try to see how little you can do on,
We have lots Of corn this year; mix a lit
tie wheat flour with a lot of corn neal and
make it into bread. 1t will be cheaper, just
as good for you, and better for your cour
try.
Or you can use oatmeal bread, rye bread
or barley bread. All these are good. AL
these help America to feed some of our al
l.es who have neither wheat, barley, rye
nor oats.
Whenever you do use wheat bread, see to
II that not a crumb is wasted. Make bread
puddings Of any scraps OF 1t that happen
to be left.
II you put too many slices of bread on the
table, some may become stale and hard,
OF course this should be used for toast OF
buildings, but isn't it better not to cut the
loaf before the meal? Just put the loaf on
the table and cut the slices as they are
needed. Then the bread will be fresh until
all used.
This year we have many, many potatoes
They are splendid food, cheaper than wheat
and Just as good to the taste. Many ma
tive Americans who live on farms never
eat bread OF any kind when potatoes are a
part OF the meal. In place Of one slice OF
bread, eat one potato.
Do these little things each day; in the
the end you will have 0 a very great
deal for your country. Do your duty with
your knife and fork and then you can safe
" leave the rest to the soldier with his rife
and entrenching tool.

tion is subject to limitations. The people
at home constitute the reserve support OF
the soldiers In the field. Just as the gov
ernment has to restrict freedom in the
trenches 1t has to determine IN certain

To which might be added that the right
OF free speech and all other rights enjoyed
by the citizens are absolutely dependent
upon the preservation of the nation. More.
over, the citizen who enjoys rights owes

AFTER MY LAST SONG

Where Ishall rest when my last song is

The air is smelling like a feast Of wine;
And purple breakers Of the windy clover
Shall roll to cool this burning brow of
mine;
And there shall come to me, when day is
told,
The peace of sleep when l am gray and old.
I'm wild for wandering to the far-off places
Since one forsook me whom I held most
dear.

Beyond East seas; but l will win back
When my last song is sung, and veins are
cold 4
AS thawing snow, and | am gray and old,
oh paining eyes, but not with salty weep
ing,
My heart Is like a sod in winter rain;
Ere you will see those baying waters leap
ing
Like hungry hounds once more, how
many a pain
Shall heal; but when my last short song is
trolled
You'll sleep here on wan cheeks grown
thin and old.

I saw a little quiet town,
And the whitewashed gables on the hill,
And laughing children coming down
The laneway to the mill.
Wind-blushes up their happy faces glowed,
And they were happy as could be.
The wobbling water never flowed
So merrily and so free.

To pick a pebble from the sands.

be too late to make your generous wish
accomplish anything but maddening regrets.
This is the time to put that wish into ef.
feet and it can be done SO easily BY filling
or helping to fn one of the Good Cheer
bags.
Anyone can fiji a bag. Don't you remem-
Der what fun 1t was to fill the children's
bags for Christmas? The Sammies in the
trenches are Uncle Sans children and you
can have the same fun and slot more sat
i~sfaction by sending them q few useful,
comforting little things that WIN make life
easier.
Were you ever SO far away from the
U. s. A. that you couldn't get an ice-cream
soda on a hot day? The Iittie things that
seem unimportant because we always have
them on hand are the first things we long
for when we can't have them. That's the
way a soldier feels when he is thousands
Of miles from home and can't get tobacco,
or tooth-paste or a scrap OF paper to
write on, or-whisper 1t gently-chewing
gum.
You don't have to bother with parcel post
or express or even wrapping the parcel IN
brown paper-just bring the bag, filled with
from five to ten articles, to Mrs. Smith at
the Art Shop and the Sammie viii receive
it with a Merry Xmas in December. That
is, he will receive it if you get it to the Art
Shop by December 20.
Everyone should fill a bag-should be
glad to do that much toward the Sammies
holiday. Whether you belong to the
Woman's Auxiliary or the Red Cross or the
Navy league-by the way, isn't it about
time this small town was consolidated I'M
der one organization since they are all do
ing the same work? Whether you are a
member of these organizations or not, won't
you please take a bag and fill 1t? And
if you can't make the bag, Mrs. James
Seligman of the Patriotic committee will be
glad to have it made for you and let you
fill it. And still further, if you are un.
able to do either of these things and would
like to put one article in a bag, bring that
along to the Art Shop and it WIN help you
fill a bag.
