Unbelievable America.


In the chapter Of Hugo Munsterberg's
unfinished autobiography, published in
the Century under the title, Twenty
FIVE Years In America" the Harvard
professor tells some of the amusing
misconceptions of America current in
Germany a quarter of century ago.
"The one, however, who brought me
nearest to America was the historian
Hoist" wrote Professor Munsterberg.
"In the lecture room his real life work
was silenced. Who would care to study
American history? But In the drawing
room he did not talk Of anything else;
America and America again. Sometimes
we had to listen to American stories
through whole dinner parties. do re-

fascinated company that he had been in
a hotel in New York where his room

OUR PART.

France gaily bleeds upon her torn
frontiers and counts her waning
wealth of men and gold with still
unquailing heart.
Belgium, a shambles and house
of shame, superbly keeps the faith
with exiled flag and king beneath the
banners of conqueor.
Bewildered Russia, cropping, man
united surf, plays perilously with
sudden rights as children with toy
they do not understand, who, in the
search for revelation, break the
works beyond repair.
The path to Austria has taken an
Italian life in toll for every foot of
progress made, and after two years
spent upon the stubborn heights, the
farthest sentry on the last outpost
ing peak is not a night removed from
his own boundaries.
Rumania struck one blow and then
became German camp, looted
realm; and Servian Peter leads his
homeless waits on alien soil.
Britain in vain hurls her full
strength into the West, recruits un-
ceasing levies for the slaughter-heap.
Her constant transports ply the
Seven Seas. Pathan, Egyptian, An
zak promptly answer each fresh call,
and the astounding Prussian, with
never an invading foot upon the
Fatherland, calmly eats their steel,
presents unbroken fronts, maintains
his hold from Antwerp to the Darda-
nelles, and insolently challenges the
world from pole to pole to pool it's
might and come in arms against him.
The end of this grim war is not in
sight. Whoever thinks the Allied
cause is won has read his facts amiss.
We have our part to playa sad
and heavy dauntless part.
We cannot, dare not fail our
pledges.
Should Europe yield, as Europe
may, before we can assert our
strength, America, alone must meet
the Central Powers, free then to de-
vote their undivided fleets and
armies to our desolation.
This is the time for minutemen-
for the right-minute man--the time
for the best to lead and the rest to
heed for swift minds, for bold
minds; for vast, audacious plans;
the time for unity, for sacrifice, for
action by the fastest clocks.
We've sworn to save Democracy
If we delay, we may not save our
selves.-Herbert Kaufman in October

The Value Of Potatoes.

''There is no food which exactly
takes the place of the potato when
one is accustomed to it," says a
statement issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, urging
an increased consumption of this
vegetable now that the markets of
the country are we'll supplied. "It
has come to be such part of our
dinner that we miss it when it is
not served. Besides, any leftover
potato can be used in many very
-palatable ways for breakfast or sup
per, and this is convenience from
the housekeeper's standpoint, since
it helps her to make palatable meals.
Not only is it useful from the ease
with which it can be prepared and
the number of palatable ways in
which it can be served, but it is very
important for the food material it
supplies. 1t is one of the most
wholesome sources of starch and is
also fairly rich in the mineral matter
which the body needs. OF the
mineral salts one must not overlook
the importance of the mild alkaline
salts it contains, because these are
greatly needed by the body to count
erbalance the acid salts which meats
and eggs produce when assimilated.
In this we have justification of the
use of potatoes in the diet in liberal
quantities and of our common Gus
tom of serving them with meats.
When the price permits, potatoes
should, by all means, be made part
of the diet"

Lsnath Of Wireless Waves.

In articles on wireless telegraphy
such expressions as POO meter wave
lengths, GOO meter wave lengths, $1,000
meter wave lengths are constantly
used. In reply to correspondent who
asks how the length of the waves Is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
''The length of an electric wave is
determined by n wave meter. The nat
ural wave length OF an aerial is four
times its linear length, just as the
wave length Of note of a closed organ
pipe IL four times the length of the
pipe. and the wave length of the note
OF a tuning fork Is four times the
length OF the box which is resonant
with the note. However, other cOnsid-
erations make 1t difficult to measure
the wave length by a rule. and the
wave meter gives "a more correct result
than can be found by measuring the
length Of the wire"

Select Good Seed.

The matter of Improving crop
yields thru the use of better seeds is
one of the greatest opportunities OF
the farmer.
The federal department of agri-
culture urges all farmers to buy
farm seeds by label. The large
seed dealers have agreed to label all
seeds giving name of scotsman, kind
of seed, proportion of pure, live
seed present with month and year of
termination test and county or
locality of origin of the seed in the
cases of certain legumes. All this is
good, but in addition to this it is well
to give attention to the adaptability
of the variety, and, if possible, of
the particular strain of the variety
selected.

The dog is coming in for close
scrutiny from the economic view
point. 1t seems inhospitable, to say
the least, to count the value of de-
votion in dollars and cents, and
mans best friend" has always here
tofore been regarded on a senti-
mental basis, but war is war, and
there is a growing inclination to in
vestigate.
1t is estimated by 1.-THE Manufac-
turer's Record" that there are 25.-
100000 dogs in the United States.
AS a source of revenue they would
produce $50,000,0OO If taxed at the
rate of 50 a head, provided the own
ers of a lot of worthless ours did not
kill them rather than pay the tax.
The same writer estimates that the
average dog consumes food worth
10 cents every week. Authority for
this figure is not given, but the argu-
ment that much of the food a dog
eats would not be consumed by hui
mans in any event can be anticipated
with the statement that If IL were
fed to other animals, such as pigs
and poultry II would be converted
into food supply for the people

1t is to be hoped that those having
the nation are sufficiently acquainted
with the needs of agriculture and OF
it's place in the economics of the ma
ton with relation to the war to see
the necessity of exempting farmers
and their sons. We are making nc
plea for sentimental or personal
views or desires, but if the subject is
considered with reference to doing
what is best for the nation in its
present undertaking, it is the duty OF
those in charge to exempt farm
labor, especially farmers sons.
The sons of farmers have always
been the most dependable, efficient
and satisfactory farm help. In fact
it may be truthfully said that they
have been the main dependence OF
most farmers. Without their sons
many farmers would be forced to
shut down business tomorrow. II
those in authority think that the
sturdy sons of the farm may be taken
and their places filled by other boys
and inefficient men, they will find
themselves nightly mistaken. The
farms cannot and will not be run
with such help. The experiences III
this direction during the past sum
mer prove the falacy of such a
proposition. England and France
tried it and failed, and they have
warned this country of their mis-
take. 1t would be equally short
sighted and disastrous to take them
after October 1, as has been pro-
posed. Much of the heayiest work
of the year is required between that
and January l. Beside that, if we
may depend upon the advice of the
government, next years operations
will be more important than this.
1t is strange that farmers organ
izations and all farm papers are not
alive to the situation and presenting
the actual labor conditions on the
farms to government authorities and
fully demonstrating the economic
necessity of eXempting farm labor so
that this country may not pass thru
the experience of a food shortage,
and the hunger of other nations be
increased.-Pennsylvania Farmer.

To Start Training At

Once.
Lieutenant NJ A. Leahy, Navy Re-
cruiting officer of the Maryland Dis
trict. has been notified by the Bureau
of Navigation to send all recruits
enlisted in the, future directly to the
training stations either at Norfolk,
Va, of Newport, r. I. This means
no more recruits will be forced to
await further orders at their homes,
but will be able to start training at
once.
Owing to congested conditions in
the training stations on account of
the rush of recruits since war was
declared, it became necessary for
several months to hold a great many
of the recruits in their homes. Con-
ditions in the training stations have
now been relieved by extension of
accommodation.
With these new orders Lieutenant
Leahy also received an urgent re-
quest from the Bureau OF Naviga-
tion to enlist as many mess-attend-
ants as can be attracted from the
Maryland District. There is an
urgent need for men in this branch
of the service, the only necessary
qualifications being experience as a
waiter, good health and morals.
Maryland stands we'll among the
other States in Navy enlistments
since the war began and Lieutenan;
Leahy and his recruiting staff are
anxious to maintain the record of the
office Special stress is laid on the
statement that the Navy is still in
need of men; the erroneous impress
sion having been gained in some cir
cles that the complement had been
filed Full particulars of Navy en-
listments can be obtained from the
nearest postmaster; directly from
the Navy Recruiting Station, Cal
vert and Lexington Streets, Balti-
more, or from the Navy Recruiting
Sub-stations at Cumberland and
Hagerstown.
All applicants should take with
them to the recruiting Office a Ger
tificate of the date of their birth
This will expedite their enlistment
if presented with their application.

Annexation Causing Strife Among
Democrats and Republicans.

According to the Baltimore press
Annexation is the platform plank
that is going to cause trouble during
the campaign this fall.
Close friends of Senator John
Walter Smith have said that he fn-
tends to see that justice is done the
city on the annexation question and
that he resents the criticism of his
course in the annexation fight in the
1916 Legislature, and intends to
demonstrate the unfairness of that
criticism. But none of these close
friends of the Senator know ap-
parently what he thinks is justice for
the city. So far as can be learned,
he has not stated his views in the
concrete.
The indications are that Ovington
E. Weller, the Republican candidate
for Governor in 1915, has made him
self the real boss of his party in the
entire State. There seems to be little
or no doubt that he wrested control
of the city organization from Will
liam F. Stone in the recent pri-
maries; and control in Baltimore,
with the fact that he is the inside
manager of the Jackson organization
in the counties, will put him firmly
in the saddle.
Mr.. Weller has but one more test
to endure. That will come in the
reorganization of the new Republi-
can State Central Committee for
Baltimore city. He and his friends
have determined to make James A.
Gary, Jr., son of E. Stanley Gary and
grandson of General James A.
Gary, years ago the Republican war
horse of Maryland, chairman of the
committee. They have no doubt
about their ability to put Mr.. Gary
over, and the facts seem to be that
they have around three-fourths of
the entire committee membership.
If, as appears practically certain,
Mr.. Weller puts over Mr.. Gary and
thus establishes controlling power in
both city and counties, he will have
achieved something that no leader
in either the Rpublican or Demo-
critic parties has matched in the
memory of man. For years there
has been one boss in each party In
the city, and one or more bosses in
each party in the counties. There
has been no man who could direct
the organization of either party in
both counties and city.
And Mr.. Weller has won his power
without anyone realizing it. One
man said that he had put the "ball
over the plate" without anyone see
ing him do it. He began soon after
his defeat in the Gubernatorial cleo
ton. He believed that he would
have been elected had the party or
sanitation, particularly in Baltimore
city, been Efficient. He linked him
self with former Senator Jackson,
who had then, as he has now, the
immediate control of most of the Re-
publican county organizations. and
together they appear to have turned
that trick completely.

Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin
has been a persistent and consistent
opponent of Prohibition, yet he voted
for the Prohibition amendment TO

democratic principle.
His position is thus stated In his
