POPE'S PEACE PLAN
BACKED IN Berlin
German Papers Say All Nations
Are Tired of Conflict
WASHINGTON DEFERS ACTION
Note is Now Before State Department
Plan To Control Coal
Industry

Since the Vatican organs have not
yet made public the full contents of
the Pope's peace message, the Ger
man authorities refrain from permit
ting its publication in Berlin A
short extract was printed by the
papers from versions known in
America, England. Italy and France
The German press remains un-
usually reserved, but as far as can
be gathered, the message is sympathe-
tically discussed by the German pub
lie.
There is one point on which no
German will agree with the Pope. and
that is as to the fate of Alsace-Lor-
raine, which is regarded as perma-
nently German and beyond the pale
of discussion. There are, of course,
931ther objections, which are not the
very sohar a,,1h a,t,1he Pan Germans. Even
not excluding Socialists, VINE &c Germans
of the restitution of Belgium without
an indisputable guarantee that all
English and French influence shall be
eliminated from the future conduct
of Belgian affairs.
1t is needless to say that the Pan
German organs either ignore all
reference by the Pope to Belgium,
the French provinceses and the east
ern territories occupied by the Ger
man armies or pass them over with
an irritated frown and the suggestion
that these questions might be dis
cussed later but that for the pres
ent it is for the Entente to ask for
peace, being at a great military dis
advantage
Washington Not In Hurry.
Pope Benedict's peace note, receiv-
ed Thursday by this Government, has
not yet been answered. Nor is there
any indication that President Wilson
and Secretary Lansing are in hurry
to respond. The regular Cabinet
meeting yesterday afternoon was very
brief, and there is reason TO believe
that the Pope's effort to end the war
was not discussed.
No doubt is felt that the President
has consulted Secretary Lansing on
the subject, but has not seen the ne
cessity OF having general Cabinet
discussion until he had studied the
Pope's proposals carefully
In these circumstances it is inn
possible to furnish any authoritative
statement of the attitude of the Ad
ministration on the latest peace move.
Speculation continues and if inter
ested officials and members of En-
tente diplomatic establishments have
accurately gagged the situation, this
Government can do nothing short OF
sending to the Pope courteous ex-
planation that it is impossible at this
time to enter ino peace negotiations
with Germany that are not founded
on German assurance of willingness
TO abandon conquered territory, make
reparation for wrongs done to Bel
gium and other nations, and furnish
adequate guarantees for the future.
Any suggestion that Germany is to
be let off scot free for her violations
of the laws of nations and the rules
of civilized warfare is repugnant to
the view of the United States Govern
ment

RACE FEELING SAID
TO PERVADE THE CITY
Reason Ascribed For Removing AL
legged Negro Murderer
OFFICIALS WERE ADVISED
Matter, However. Developed Prior To
Brandon Tragedy, Which Still
Remains Unsolyed.

That there has been more or less
race feeling among the residents of
Annapolis during the last few weeks
was among the points brought to light
today in connection with the efforts
of the police officials and others to
solve the Brandon murder mystery.
Not that it has any direct bearing
upon the Brandon murder. for IT en-,
anated from another case recently
brought before the police officials of
the city and which resulted in a dis
missal sof an assault charge lodged
against a white man in an escapade
with negro woman in the west end
of the city
There has been more or less ad-
negro snowden nseeafflry afresassst as to why the
charge of the murder of Mrs Bran
don should have been taken to Bal
timore City as a precautionary meas
use, owing to the fact that the county
in recent years paid for the construc-
tion of first-class Jail here But it
now develops that the primary pur
pose of the county authorities in
spiriting the negro away to Baltimore
as promptly as they did, was due en-
tirely to their knowledge of the feel
ing that had cropped up among the
white and eolored people of the city.
Under the circumstances. they felt
that it would be unwise to keep the
accused negro in the city over night.
That such a feeling existed among
the two races has been known by the
authorities and many other persons
for weeks, but it was deemed best
not to let it become a matter of pub
lie knowledge. 1t is known that city
and county officials alike, had been
advised by the colored ministers of
the city and others of their race that
good deal of feeling had been
aroused among those of the colored
element, because of the outcome of
the case. wherein the white man
twice knocked a negress to the
ground because she brushed against
the white mans wife, and the defense
on the part of the negro woman was
entirely the result of an accident.
and therefore, there was no provoca-
tion for the assault

GERMAN FORESIGHT

Germany is preparing for warrior
the NEXT war! 1t sounds like a
joke, but it is fact. Information
coming from Germany proves that the
learned war specialists of that coun-
try are actually laying their plans for
a new and improved military ma
chine, bigger and more terrible than
the present one. They expect to end
this war with an inconclusive peace
"a mere truce, during which they ex-
pect to get ready to finish the job a
few years later.
The main feature of the new plan
las far as the German newspapers
have revealed IT'D is a more efficient
industrial organization. Every fac
tory in the empire is to be organized
so it can be turned into a munition
or military supply factory on "a
hours notice, and be turning out ma
terials for murder by the third day.
Women's labor, food distribution, raw
materials, and many other matters
are to be put upon a better basis of
efficiency. Whether any moral inn
provement is contemplated, the pub
lished accounts do not disclose.
This is German foresight and Ger
man thoroughness with a vengeance.
~ olOWS Wlal VIC dIC ldClIB. lHcIt
was a time when conservative Ameri-
can opinion did not favor crushing"
Germany, but that was in the days
when we were afraid of Russia under
Romanoff rule. We felt that Ger
many must be preserved in some de-
gree of strength as bulwark against
Russia. We also were not at war
with Germany then, and the carnival
of German atrocities had barely
begun.
1t is different now. Russia is no
longer to be feared, but Germany
looms up ten times more menacing.
Germany has become the enemy of
the world, and her denominations have
Disguised all Christendom.
1t is now fight to the finish. Am
erica has no motive for sparing Ger
many in any degree. 1t is simply a
question of what must be done to
Germany to render her harmless. If
the allies, once having got Germany
down, allow her to get on her military
feet again they will play the part Of
imbeciles and their blood will be on
their own heads.-Adrian Telegram.

Once to every man and nation comes
the moment to decide,
In thes trife of Truth with Falsehood
for the good or evil side:
Some great cause, Gods new Messiah
offering each the bloom or
blight,
Parts the goats upon the left hand,
and the sheep upon the right,
And the choice goes by forever 'twixt
that darkness and that light. 4
Then to side with Truth is noble when
we share her wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
and tbs prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave man chooses,
while the coward stands aside,
Doubling in his abject spirit, till his
Lord is crucified,
And the multitude make virtue of the
faith they had denied.
IT'S as easy to be heroes as to sit the
idle slaves
OF a legendary virtue carved upon
our fathers graves,
Worshipers Of light ancestral make
the present light crime;
Was the Mayfiower launched by cow
ards, steered by men behind
their time? eSHa
Turn those tracks toward Past and
Future, that make Plymouth
Rock sublime.
New occasions teach new duties; Time
makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still, and onward,
who would keep abreast the
Truth;
Lo, before us CLEAN her campfires!
we ourselves must Pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayflower, and steer
boldly through the desperate
winter sea,
Nor attempt the Futures portal with
the Past's blood-rusted key.

KEEP WITHIN THE SPEED
LIMIT

The speed limit on the streets of
our city and inthe country for auto
mobiles should be carefully adhered
to by the drivers. The very large
number of cars now being run makes
it exceedingly dangerous for pedes-
TRANS not only to cross the streets
but on the highways as well. Many
owners of cars and chauffeurs get
careless at times and exceed the
speed limit. 1t as the careless ones
that cause the trouble and also make
it necessary that the law be invoked
to restrain them and put the motor
cop on the job of rounding up offend
ers. The city officials do not want to
be arbitrary but must safeguard the
citizens. 1t is not their purpose to
have the automobile owner and driver
hauled into court unless they fragrant
ly violate the law.

Concerning the Ignorance of
Grown Folks

Now / have a granddaughter, and
the damsel is two years and three
months of age. And she climbed up
on my knees, and she said:
Grandpa, Tell me Mother Goose.
So l told her about Bopeep, and
Jask Horner, and the Man in the
Moon.
And she said, Tell me some more.
And she mediated, and thus she
spake:
Grandpa, dost thou know
Fire, fire, burn stick;
Stick, stick, beat dog?
And | was amazed, for | had not
told her that one, neither did / re-
member it distinctly, nor did / know
who had told it to her.
But she looked into my face, and
fos the the First Time she wondered
if she had found Something which her
Grandpa did not Know.
And did some Thingink, Mighty
Fast. And / recalled the Incident,
how the Old Woman was driving
home her Pig, and the Pig would not
get over the Stile and she called upon
the Dog to bite the Pig, and when the
Dog did it not, then upon the Stick
to beat the Dog, and the Fire to burn
the Stick, and the Water to Quench
the Fire. And thus she organized
series of Labor Unions in which all
Creation was called out into a SYM
pathetic Strike to the end that the
Old Woman's Pig should be Persuad-
ed to get over the Stile. And the
whole Poem came back to me, and /
told it to the Little Maiden, and thus
postponed the Evil Day when should
say to her, No, my Darling, / know
not.
But that day will come, and will
come again and yet again. And she
will stand before me with a Latin
Book, even with the Commentaries of
julius Caesar, and will say, Grandpa,
thou didst study Latin. Tell me,
what meaneth this,-Gallia est omnia
divisa in parties tres?
And again she will come with
Geometry, and will say, Grandpa,
show me how to Demonstrate that
the Square upon the Hypothenuse
doth equal the Sum Of the Other Two
Squares.
/ have stood before the Great AS
semblies, and have been able to cause
men to say, Behold. Safed is a Wise
Man; and / have found it an hard
thing to Fool them; but / Humble
myself and am Abased in mine own
mind when l consider the day that
this little maiden shall say in her
heart, Behold, how many things there
are which my Grandpa knoweth cot.
For that day must surely come.
And save for the Dread Day of Judg-
ment when every soul shall stand be-
fore God, there is no more solemn
day for any man than that when his
own Child shall say within his heart,
Behold the day hath come when /
must consider my Father, whether he
be as Wise and as Good as he seemeth
to be. aa3lnW4
May God in his Mercy spare us all
in that solemn day. For what shall
it profit man if he gain the whole
world of knowledge or of Reputed
Goodness If his Child or his Grand
child shall say of him, / once thought
him possessed of all Wisdom and
Goodness, and behold, he is no better
nor wiser than other men?
Oh my God, may the day never
come when / shall not seem to mine
own children a man both Wise and
Good. Grant me this. and / shall ask
little beside. For. i am made to think
solemn thoughts because little

of these is a simple one colored paper
yarn used in exactly the same way

Mr.. Herbert Hoover, the nations

poultry. chickens, turkeys. ducks and
geese. Mr.. Hoover pleads as fol-
lows:
What can you do to help in this
worldwide meat emergency?
Every farmer can raise more AMI
better poultry and do it far more
proftably by disposing of all surplus
males. by keeping only the yearling
hons. and the earliest and best ma
tured pullets,> thus keeping no dead
heads or "slackers" to consume what
should so to the profitable producers.
It is crime to dispose Of a laying
hen or pullet that is just about to
lay. Keep the hen house neat and
clean. Repair the roof. the windows,
and stop any direct drafts that are
possible by knot holes or cracks. Too
much glass and not enough open front
is bad. Write your State Expert
ment Station for needed information.
Every State in the Union except Flor
ida and Wyoming maintain poultry
which are pleased to aid
the home folks with their poultry
problems.
Poultry is profitable. No source
of meat supply is as rapid or as
cheap. Every pound of poultry pro-
duced will help in sending a pound
of meat across to the boys that are
fighting your battles. Every farm
should have a carefully culled flock
Of not less than zoo fowls. The lar
ger the farm, the larger the flock,
and such a flock should be maintain
ed largely from economical reasons.
Poultry will pick up 90 per cent of
It's living from scattered and wasted
grains. They act as scavengers in
a large part of what would
otherwise be lost. Poultry will prove
valuable in eating obnoxious bugs,
grasshOppers, worms and insect pests,
hat would otherwise destroy food
hat is valuable. To the dweller in
, village, town or city, a well kept
flock of dozen or twenty-five good
laying hens will prove profitable.
They can be kept from the lawn. gar
len, kitchen and table oifal, all Of
which makes the choicest kind of
poultry feed with but small addi-
ion of grain. 4
During this next year every ef-
ort should be made to raise and con- .
ume every pound of poultry flesh
possible. 1t is one of the easiest and
Quickest ways of helping to increase

'ry red-blooded American must do
