This Is not g. bad idea that LouB Fl. sohmitt of Plainville suggests. He writes: Each American vessel that Europe should carry the largest num- Der of German prisoners who could be controlled. The Kaiser's Govern ment should then be notified of their presence. and if he murdered he would murder his own. As each ship went down his subjects could line up on the torpedo side and thank the Kaiser for his many blessings.''
 But why expose even German pris- oners to the mercy of the Kaiser?

SOCIALISTS HERE BALK
Denounce Stockholm Conference As Being Kaiser's Plot For Casl,dng In His Military Victories.

ILLS Mu1t&Iy v1CIOE1G9s
 Washington, May s.-A meeting of prominent socialists here yesterday under the leadership of William Eng fish Walling, Charles Edward Russell, and Ernest Edward Poole issued . statement describing the forthcoming International Socialist Conference. to be held in Junh at Stockholm, as '.ths most dangerous of all the Kaiser's 5 plots for cashing In his military vic- tories." The statement declares that as the dominant sociaHt parties of England, France. and Belgium will not attend, the conference will be under the control of German delegates whose purpose will be to lure 8 large Rus sian delegation to the Swedish capi- tai, and induce them by any and all sorts of pressure to, work for a sep arate Russian peace.
 This statement by prominent Ameri- can socialists. which brands American delegates to the Stockholm conference as pro-German, is regarded as highly important by the state department. government of the other allies, had been watching developments in Rus- sia with strained attention. The re- cent VlCSOTy OI IA10 spIOVlSlOudl SOV0IA~ ment over the council of workmen's and soldiers deputies has confirmed reports from American Ambassador Francis that the new republican re- gime is determined on A vigorous prosecution of the war. But this vic- tory was achieved by 8 narrow mar gin of less than forty votes in an as- sembly of well over 2,000, and 1t is not expected that Germany will ac- cept her first defeat there as final, but will continue her efforts for Russian disunion within the Russian separa- ton from the Allies.

ALIEN ENEMIES ID
 BE SENT TO CAMPS
German Sailors to Be Detained in z North Carolina

WdSulHStOu, May O.-ArTanSem0nt9 for placing all informed alien enemies in permanent detention camps, where they will be well housed and given work at fair wages. have been com pleted by Secretary Wilson of the Labor department. An official an- nouncement says the first camp vii! he established on 500-acre tract of. agricultural land in the mountains of North Carolina, and that the 1.s00 of ficers and sailors taken from German merchant vessels in American har- bors will be the first aliens to go there
 The statement adds that Secretary Wilson expects the necessity will soon arise for the establishment of addi- tioEal camps.
 Tn addition to enemy aliens the de- par tnent plans to care for other aliens who cannot be admitted to this country under the immigration laws, and whose deportation is impossible on account of the war. as we'll as for feeble-minded immigrants. Those placed in camps will be segregated in three classes-enemies, other aliens and the Predetermined.
 Sailors Go This Week.
 The first detachment of 50 to 100 German sailors will go to the North Carolina camp this week from Ellis Island. There is a summer hotel on the camp tract. which originally was des.ined for club purposes. In addi- ticn to large central building there are forty cottages, with accommoda~ tions for from seven to fifteen men each. All buildings are well fitted. and up to date in construction and sanitary arrangements. A large lake affords opportunity for swimming ana boating.
 Some two hundred acres are under cultivation and the interned men will De employed on this work at first, while plans are being made for the development of industries in which :heir labor can be turned to profitable account.
 Secretary Wilson pointed out that win the approach of warm weather, it was necessary that opportunities be provided for interned persons to work and obtain recreation in pleasant sur
 
 "The government desires" he said, "to treat interned persons with the greatest courtesy, and make the con- ditions under which they must live as pleasant as possible.
 Under The Hague treaty." he said, 'thi.' government is empowered to ! work the interned men or to farm them out to individuals or corpora tions. When worked by the govern ment they will receive the pay of sol- dsers. anl when farmed out will be remunerated at prevailing wage rates After making deductions for their maintenance, the interned men will l be given at the time of their dis l charge by the government whatever sums they shall have earned. "The men in the camp in North Carolina will be used to cultivate the l tract, and will be farmed out for | l,lm herihg and road building. In view Of the necessity for guards these two ! latter occupations appear to be the only one in which they can be con- veniently worked by private capital. Arrangements have been made with the department of agriculture for l the employment of a number of men 1 at road building on the Vanderbilt tract that adioins the camp. and

satisfied to assume passive part for
 the remainder of the war. the task of overcoming German autocracy is one
 that staggers the imagination. Russia,
 at peace with Germany, would open
 her granaries to the Teutonic alliance
 for her own economic and financial
 ends., and this would mean that the spectre of starvation that now over
 hangs Germany would be dissipated.
 Furthermore. German, Austro- Hun
 garian. Bulgarian and Turkish troops
 that are now holding the line on the
 east, would be released for service in
 the west. The combined forces of
 England and France would hardly be
 sufficient to block the way of such an
 avalanche of man-power. The Entente
 Allies would have only one source
 from which to draw men-America.
 It is not entirely improbable that Rus main inactive for the duration of the war. Tn fact, military chiefs of Eng land and France have already begun to discount Russia from the standpoint of cooperation on the battle field.
 And so, it is seen that the menace>tq America Is actual, and not imaginary. We have opened our purses to aid the Allies. We have opened our hearts to give them moral support. Now we must close our fists to give them that physical cooperation which Is neces- sary to the downfall of the Kaiser. Men. more men! That will be the cry within a few months. Is the cry to fall on needless ears? Are we to con- tinue to be nation of takers?
 Supreme sacrifices must be made. Homes. families, everything we hold dear. must be given up for the great task. The blood of Americans must mingle with the blood of thousands of brave Frenchmen and Englishmen who stopped the fonrush of the mon- ster. The tears of American women must mingle with the tears of thou sands of the brave women of Europe, whose husbands, sons and fathers laid down their lives on the altar of But this will notsbe in vain. To counterbalance these sacri- iices will be the knowledge that vic- tory will kiss the Stars and Stripes ih the final hour, that Old Glory will be the means of stamping out everything that is hateful and repusnant in gov- ernmsnt and that the flag of our fore fathers will be fying triumphantly over the field when the smoke of bat tlet clears away and :, the Angel of Peace descends to ease the sorrows of the world.
 It is Americas battle from now on. The fate of autocracy rests with Amer lea If you ard an American real you will not hesitate in your country's hour of stress. If you are . young TT xyssu will gladly sraily to the hags keA though you die for 1t. If you are . 1sother you win tear self lsh. but Ap1yG lovs from your heart and bid your son to % forth to battle. that the cause is just and. that God Is with the rightaous.

 One recommendation of the depart nent Of agriculture for getting rid of flies, is powdered hellebore. This when sprinkled on the manure heaps im which the flies lay their eggs destroys the larvae and does not in any way spoil the manure.
 The Journal of the American Medical Association says the hygienic IahOra- tory of the public health service has found in salicylic acid an eminently satisfactory agent for killing adult flies This. It says. is not an Objec- tiOnabIe substance to handle, and there Is little danger of toxic effects from ac- ridental consumption of considerable doses of It. A per cent solution of salicylic acid should be sweetened and left in shallow saucers where flies will easily find It.
