Of him than he can possibly do. he will

The governmental policy is designed
not merely to check extravagance and
waste. but so to lessen demand that
the smallest number of workers possi-
BILE must be subtracted from the total
available to the national need. The
consequence is that just what food is
absolutely needed is manufactured and
just what cloth may not be done with

Germany has plenty of coal. but she
lacks men to work it.
Every Ounce Of Energy for War.
In summing up. it may be said with
out exaggeration that every ounce OF
energy possessed by Germany today is
directed toward the one purpose-that
of fighting out the war.
All the external things which make
life pleasant have been cast aside. The
whole nation is fighting in sense
which is not equally true of any allied
nation. and which it is to be hoped
need never become true of any one OF
them. These things must be realized by
America, together with the fact that
Germany's advantageous position and
her thorough initial preparation enable
her to get greater value from each
foot-pound expended than can any Of
the allied nations.
Germany is despondent and overtax-
ed and undernourished and overworked
to an extent that cannot be compre-
hended except by some measure of per-
sonal contact. She fears the future in
fashion that cannot be exaggerated.
But as yet Germany is not ready to
quit.

ed. Occasional meetings of prime min
listers do not in any way answer the
demand of the situation. The neglect
of the Russian developments is trace
able to this lack of permanent au-
thority sufficient to give unity to en-
tente policy and action. Today no one
is responsible for the common inter-
ests and action. Each nation follows its
own policy. Each nation has it's own
war>aims.
Even today the situation in Switzer-
land is very serious. German agents
with ample funds have done their work
among the extremists and socialists
to produce disorganization in the state
and dissatisfaction in the army. Ger
man military engineers are also at
work over the country. The feeling
exists here that the next German
drive may come through Switzerland
concerning Swiss action if Germany
attacks.
Conditions in Germany. and especially
IN austria, are worse than with the
entente SO far, and drive the armies to
a renewed effort to end the war There
lore we may expect the Austro Ger
mans to deliver renewed blows on the
western front. especially since many
troops are now re-
leased from the Russian war zone.
Hope is expressed that tie confer
ence will be the forerunner of an au-
thoritative body and of less accidental
meetings than in the past. The mat
ters that have to be considered are
continually changing and cannot be
handled by. spasmodic deliberations of
the chief statesmen of the entente who
are conducting the war. Many should
be spared from the routine of govern
ment and politics at home to confer
adequately concerning questions of
united action. on which the success Of
the allies depend.
Newspapers here complain that the
allies have done little in Switzerland
to counteract the work done by Ger
man agents.
1t is conceded that America in the
present situation holds the master
hand and has the power to bring about
closer unity and force a single united
command.

NATION FEARS FUTURE
BY HERBERT COREY.

| BERN, Switzerland, October 26.-
Much has been said of the manner in
which the German empire has been
converted into a great war machine.
That this is literally true can only be
| icomprehended in it's entirety by those
who are now living in Germany. Even
across the border, however, it is possi-
| BILE to discern this much:
Not one wheel is turning in Germany
| today unless that wheel is directly or
| indirectly engaged in the furtherance
of the war.
1t is not every German who is so
favorably situated that when he needs
| something for Office or house he can
drop into factory and buy it over the
counter. Very well, then. If there
were any considerable manufacturing
in Germany, outside of war manufac-
ture, the fact would show in the
freights.
No Freights Except War Freights.
There are no freights except war
freights in Germany.
The arrangements of the various
railroads have become mere bureaus of
the general staff. The roads are gov
ernment owned and wholly militarized.
as is well known. For time a pre-
tense or continuing the general buSf-
ness of the first two years of the war
was kept up. The freights were listed
under three heads:
War freight.
Contributory war freight
Freight of the usual civilian charac-
ter.
War freight was given preference,
of course. Next to it came the CON
tributory" freight, such as raw ma
terials for munitions and food for the
people. In this connection civilians
are considered as war material" I'm
less they are kept in condition to work
the army must eventually fail to func-
ton. Last of all came the freights of
purely civilian character, such as
baby carriages and brooms and table
china and mahogany bedsteads. If
there were room and freight cars left,
this class of freight was hauled. It
is still on the classified list, but the
Germans have given up the effort to
ship it.
There are not men enough in Ger
many. outside of those engaged in war,
to handle this freight. Nor are the
German railroads in condition to ham
die it. The demands OF war are ex-
hausting them. Germany's supply of
valid men has been completely taken
over for the army.

Nightmare for All Civilizations.

THE Turk must be driven from Europe
and Christian and Arab freed. Only in
subject peoples tyrannized over by the
Germans, Magyars and Turks. Only
in this way can we remove the menace
Of German aggression which has be-
come a haunting nightmare for all
civilizations, especially in the case of
small, well behaved liberty-loving peo-
pies.
By declaring war on Germany's allies
we do not commit ourselves to asking
anything that is not just for our own
allies, but by failing to declare war
on Germany's allies we ourselves are
guilty Of injustice to our own allies.

Ends Card Game, Kills Child

Perry, Ga, Sept. 5.-On the ]. e..
Haslam plantation in the western
portion Of the county, lightning
struck barbed wire fastened to
negro cabin. The bolt tore through
the weather-boarding, and several
feet further, at right angles, burst
through the ceiling into the bed room
where several negro men were play
ing cards, gambling. The game was
broken up and the players hastily
went elsewhere.
The lightning then skipped diago-
nally across the room, demolished
the chimney, tore down half of that
end of the room, and, Is feet from
the chimney, struck fence post, en-
tering the ground. Five or six feet
from the demolished chimney in the
room, three negro children were
sleeping. One of them was killed in
stantly, and the other two we're
knocked unconscious, one being bad
~ burned. In an adjoining room
was an aged negro woman, who was
not even stunned.

convention declared the interest of
the Russian people in the war had
been undermined blythe activities Of

tions.
"Riga was captured by United
states Senator'S La Toilette, Gronna
and Stone," Mr. Russell asserted.
when the Kaiser gives out the dec
laration OF victory he should give
full credit to these three men. They
and the peoples council and men like
the mayor Of Chicago are doing more
to prolong the war and to slaughter
American soldiers than all the sold
iers OF the Kaiser"

IMPORTANT POINT RAISED.
Care Should be Taken to Have War

(Greenville Piedmont, 9Th.

(Greenville Piedmont, 9Th.
An officer of the law has no legal
right to make an arrest under war
rant that has not been sworn to by
the person furnishing the informa-
tion upon which the charges contain
ed In the warrant are based, accord
Ing to ruling by Judge Mendel l..
Smith this morning in passing on a
motion for directed verdict in the
case Of the State against Ellis, Wade
and Hamp Turner, charged with as
sault and interference with an officer
in the discharge of his duties.
The Turner's had been bound over
on these charges as the result OF q
visit Of Officers Plumley and Crane
to the Turner home \several months
ago to arrest Walter Turner on a
charge Of drunkenness and disorder
ly conduct. Two of young Turner's
brothers and his father, according to
the testimony, attempted to prevent
the officers from entering the Turner
home, and one Of them was alleged
to have brought gun into play dur
Ing the ensuing confusion. No shots
were fired, Officer Crane gaining pos
session Of the weapon, but one OF the
defendants is said to have struck the
rural policeman.
1t developed in the course Of the
testimony during the trial yesterday
afternoon that the warrant under
which the officers claimed the right
to arrest young Turner on the charge
of drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct had not been issued under oath.
After the State had rested its case,
Attorney Price, for the defense, rails
ed the point that the defendants had
a perfect right to take the course
they followed in attempting to pre-
vent the execution Of an illegal and
void warrant, "even to the point of
taking human life If necessary" The
court sustained Mr.. Prices position
on this question and merely submit
ted the question Of whether or not
the defendants used more force and
violence than was necessary. The
jury, after Is minutes deliberation,
returned verdict acquitting the de-
