Near.Potato Cominu.

Enter the imitation potatoi It Is called the dasheen, is member of the tuber family and fiourishes fn Trini- dad. Recently the dasheen has been introduced into the South. and it is expected that cultivation of the plant will help to cut down the cost of high living, as represented in the potato.
 A frostless season of seven months is required to grow the dasheen, which cannot be cultivated farther north than South Carolina. As an ar ticle of food it is said to have less wa ter than the potato, and increased pro tein, starch and sugar. These qualities would be likely to render it even more palatable than the familiar potato, and we may soon be confronted with res taurant bills reading: "Dasheen Lyon naise" or "Dasheen a la O'Brien."

not be. The present German subma- rine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind.
 Tt is a war against all nations American ships have been sunk American lives taken, in ways winch it has stirred us very deeply to learn of but the ships and people of other neutral and friendly nations have been sunk and overwhelmed in the waters in the same way. There has been no discrimination. The challenge is ID all mankind. Each nation must de eide for itself how it will meet il. The choice we make for ourselves must be made with moderation of counsel and appropriateness of judg- ment befitting our character and our motives as a nation. We must put excited feeling away. Our motive will not be revenge or the victorious as. sertion of the physical might of the nation, but only the vindication ef right. of human right, of which we are only a single champion.
 When I addressed the Congress on February 26 last, I thought that it would suffice to assert our neutral rights with arms, our right to use the seas against unlawful interfer- ence our right to keep our people safe against unlawful violence. But armed neutrality, it now appears, is impracticable. Because submarines are in effect outlaws, when used as the German submarines have been used against merchant shipping, it is impossible to defend ships against their attacks as the law of nations has assumed that merchantmen would defend themselves against privateers or cruisers, visible craft giving chase upon the open sea. It is common pru- dence in such circumstances-grim ne cessity, irdeed-to endeavor to de- stroy them before they have shown their own intention. They must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt with at all.

 If there should be disloyalty, it will be dealt with with firm hand of stern repression but if it lifts it's head at all 1t will lift it only here and there and without countenance except from a lawless and malignant few

It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disas- trous of all wars. civilization itself seeming to be in the balance. But the right is more precious than peace, and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts-for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own govern ments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal domin- ion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safe ty to all nations and make the world itself at last free
 ITO such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes. everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the princi pies that gave her f.rth and happi ness and the peace which she has treasured God helping her, she can do no other"

Use All Resources To End War.

The German government denies the right of neutrals to use arms at all within the areas of the sea which it has prescribed, even in the defense of rights which no modern publicist has ever before questioned their right 10 defend The intimation is conveyed that the armed guards which we have placed on our merchant ships will be treated as beyond the pale of law and subject to be dealt with as pi- rates would be. Armed neutrality is intellectual enough at best; in such circumstances and in the face of such pretensiOns it is worse than ineffect- ual; it is likely only to produce what it was meant to prevent; it is prac- tically certain to draw us into the war without either tEe rights or the effect iveness of belligerents.
 There is one choice we cannot make. We are incapable of making: We will not choose the path of sub mission and suffer the most sacred rights of our nation and our people to be ignored or violated. The wrongs against which we now array ourselves are no common wrongs; they cut to the very roots of human life.
 What this will involve is clear It will involve the utmost practical co- operation in counsel and action with the governments now at war with Ger many and as incident to that, the ex- tension to those governments of the most liberal financial credits, in or. der that our resources may so far as possible be added to theirs.
 Tt will involve, also. of course, the granting of adequate credits to the government. sustained, I hope, so far as they can equitably be sustained, by the present generation, by well-con- ceived taxation.
 T say sustained so far as may be equitable by taxation because it seems to me that it would be most unwise to base the credits which will now be necessary entirely on money borrow ed. It is our duty, most respectfully urge, to protect our people so far as we may against the very serious hard ships and evils which would be likely to arise out of the imitation which would be produced by vast loans.
 Tn carrying out the measures by which these things are to be accom- plished we should keep constantly in mind the wisdom of interfering as lit tie as possible in our own preparation and in the equipment of our own mil itary forces with the duty-for it will be very practical duty-of supplying the nations already at war with Ger many with the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our as- sistance. They are in the field, and we should help them in every way to be effective there.

 autocratic government could be trust ed to keep faith within or observe it's covenants. It must be a league of honor, a partnership of opinion. h. trigue would eat it's vitals away; the plottings of inner circles who could plan what they would and render ac- count to no one would be a corruption seated at it's very heart. Only free peoples can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own
 Germany Had Spies Here Before
 War.
 The autocracy that crowned the summit of her political structure, long as it had stood and terrible as was the reality of it's power, was not in fact Russian in origin, character CT purpose; and now it has been shaken off and the great, generous Russ.c.a people have been added in all their na- tive majesty and might to the forces that are fighting for freedom in the world, for justice and for peace. Here is a fit partner for a league of honor.
 "One of the things that has served to convince us that the Prussian au- tocracy was not and could never be our friend is that from the very out set of the present war it has filled our unsuspecting communities and even our offices of government with spies and set criminal intrigues every where afoOt against our national unity Of council, our peace within and with out, our industries and our commerce.
 Even in checking these things and trying to eXtirpate them we have sought to put the most generous in depreciation possible unon them, be- cause we knew that their source lay. not in any hostile feeling or purpose of the German people towards Us (who were, no doubt, as ignorant Of them as We ourselves were) but only in the selfish designs of government that did what it pleased and told it's people nothing. But they have played their part in serving to convince us at least that that government entertains TO real friendship for Us and means to act against our peace and security ct it's convenience. That it means to stir up enemies against us at our very doors, the intercepted note to the Ger man minister at Mexico City is elo- quent evidence

SOCIALISTS PROTEST
AGAINST U. 5. IN war
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
ST. LOUIS. Mo-. April "a mighty
protest against the participation Of
the United States in the war will be
the first action of the hastily-called
national Socialist convention meeting
here tomorrow.
Although the convention was ORR
ginally scheduled for September. in
view Of the perilous international
situation, it was convened at once in
order to go on record as opposing
any hostile move by the United
States.
From every part of the country
delegates will gather at the Planters
Hotel TO take part in the protest.
More than two hundred Gre
dentialed delegates will represent the
,aHaanXerhfCHI TAESOTEA cmfm
different sections of the country.
Probably the first action OF the
convention will be strong resolu-
ton of protest against any course
that would bring the United States
into the war; said Adoph Germer,
national secretary of the Socialist
party.
"Of course war. except to repel IN
actual invasion. is contrary TO the
principles of the Socialist party. We
condemn entrance into the war upon
the present grounds. A resolution
will be adopted and then submitted
to a referendum vote OF the entire
party. We moved our convention date
ahead five months because of the
war cloud. We want to get our
stand on record"
At the convention a revision Of the
platform of the national party will
