THE CONFEDERATE REUNION

The meeting Of the Confederate
Veterans at Washington in june
viii be a historic event of nation
wide concern.
The Gettysburg reunion viii long
be remembered. 1t demonstrated
the unity of the American people,
even to the most skeptical, and
had an immediate effect on public
sentiment throughout the country.
Today America wants to make
plain to the world that, whatever eff
forts are made to show dissensions
among Us, or to assert higher
claims to loyalty for other flags or
other institutions, are made in vain.
Here there is a unity in diversity,
wen CT MANY a hard hard fought field,
that inspires all citizens in their de-
votiOn to a common country.
rhe memory of our civil conflict
deepens this devotion. The deeds
of these four years are the glory
of a united people, and the flag of
the Union is all the brighter and
more beautiful because of the rec
ord of these veterans and the hosts
that marched with them under the
Confederate banner. Today we are
stronger because of that conflict,
for the stories of those battlefelds
and campfres are the common heri-
tages of both sections.
1t Is a long way from Appomattox
to Washington City, but the men
who wore the gray will in June re-
ceive their heartiest welcome from
the men who wore the blue, and the
whole nation will be their guard Of
honOr.-Louisville Post.

GREATER CARE IS NEEDED.

When it is estimated by the actuar- ial bureau of the National Board of Fire Underwriters that small electri- cal devices are causing fires at the rate of S0,0o0 or more fin the course of a year. it does not call for the abandonment of these devices but rather should 1t mean the exercise of greater care in their use, for it is in- variably the fault of the user instead of the device that fires are thus kim dled.
 It is we'll known what results when an electric flat is left upon an iron ing board with the current turned on, for 1t doesn't take long for the iron to spoil the fabric which is under it, whereas if the proper care was used to place 1t on a metal stand or even to shut off the current which can be done in the fraction of a second, the trouble would be avoided. It is thus which ought to be done away with. should receive the attention which they deserve.
 A large number of the fires which occur in dwellings can be traced di- rectly to this form of carelessness. The fire in the Boston residence of ex- Governor Draper causing damage to the extent of $350. 900 was due to an electric plate warmer in the buffers pantry, and the burning of the resi- dence of John Wanamaker. several years ago resulted from an electric pressing iron. The ease with which they could have been prevented shows how little effort is required to check such fires before they are started.

eERMANY,s STANCE CONDUCT.

It is surprising at this late date that Germany should be seeking through former Ambassador Gerard to have the treaty of 17es. which was reaflrm- ed in 1928, again reaf1rmed. That government must know that the United States minister lost his au- thority to enter Into any such nego- tiations when this country severed di- plomafic relations and it's affairs at Berlin were turned over to the Spanish ambassador. Mir. Gerard is now only a private citizen as far as such a matter Is concerned.
 But why has Germany waited until this late date to endeavor to secure a reafhrmation, or why has it considered it necessary to have such a step taken? This country has not declared that treaty a scrap of paper. it has not denied German subjects and prop erty the rights which exist thereun- der, it has even announced that 1t has no intention of seizing German ships and property even though war should be declared, and it has succeeded in getting from the allies the promise of a safe conduct home for Count won Bernstorff and party. insofar as the allies are responsible.
 In view of this evidence on the part of the United States to treat German interests and property justly, 1t is dis quieting news which comes from Ser lin to the effect that Gerard is pre- vented from leaving that country. Germany apparently considers that it is going to hold every other country to their responsibilities but that it is going to do as it pleases where it's own actions are involved

OPPOSITION SLIGHT THUS FAR.

Though the tonnage has varied the German submarines have averaged about ten vessels day since the un- restricted naval warfare was resumed. Tt has sent to the bottom some small boats and some large ones, and even though the most of them have been frefghters there has also been i'm cIuded in the list at least one large passenger carrying ship, so that there can be no question but what Germany is applying it's policy to all vessels regardless of their character, or the lives aboard.
 t is upon this destruction of the allied shipping. as we'll as that be- longing to neutrals. that it relies in order to accomplish it's purpose, the crippiing of the ocean traffic which Is allied powers. The daily tonnage de- stroyed thus far exceeds that which swas sunk previous to the new order present rate it will fall far short of the million tons a month which has been expected.
 Tn the meantime Great Britain claims to have made preparations which will to a large extent nulIify the activities of the subsea boats. Just what they are have not been dis closed for obvious reasons, and it has mot as yet shown that 1t has through their use caused the destruction of any Of the piratfcal raiders, but it must hs manifest that with ten or more ahips going down daily, with their car- goes and some lives. the effect of the opposition must be shown pretty soon ior Germany will have reason Co feel satisfied with the amount of destruc- ltinn it is bringing about

tons of snow Into the sewer. all of which represents the saving of ex- pense through shortening the teaming distance, but that is no excuse why the opening should not have been properly guarded or. what &e better, covered again after being used.
 Nothing but gross careIessness can be attributed to the city employe or employees who were responsible for leaving such a perilous hole in the street unguarded. It is all right to warn pedestrians to watch your steps but everyone has a right to rely upon protection from such death holes. es- pecially in a much used street.
 The disappearance of the citizen. who was caught in the rush of water in the sewer and probably carried in- to the harbor. reveals a condition which ought not to be tolerated in any community. The responsibility in that case ought to be fixed and rigid steps taken to see that such negligence does not occur again. Life doesn't amount to very much when 1t doesn't receive better protection than was accorded in that instance.

STORIES OF THE WAR
HoIIander'. Experisne. in Germany.


 Germany is underfed and depressed, according to a writer in the Amster- dam Telegraaf, who returned from Germany to Holland at the end of 1916. He tells the following of his ex- periences and observations in Ger many:
 T got a job in a large factory in West Germany. situated in a very fiourishing village, which a year and a half ago had 5000 inhabitants conn., posed of good-natured country people. resigned my position, which was otherwise an excellent one, solely be- cause unable to get the necessary food.
 sT am now going to remain with the theshpots of Egypt as the Germans call the Dutch fare, for realize that while I was in Germany I was grad- ually going under Yet in the canteen I was far more favorabiy circumstance ed than the ordinary town and coun- try population The latter are far from being well off They have no more fodder for fattening pigs: they may only kill very few, and then must often set apart a large portion, ac- cording to the size of the family, for the community.

though 1t seems to some people too common to hail with pleasure. When the appetite is right it never makes faces at coarse food.
 Here is truth from Richard Lee Gailienne: Humanity is not precious metal, but if you know how to use it, it is excellent clay-a clay not without streaks of gold" There is always something of the first quality in it, and it is not brought out by arrogance but by humility. Pride has the power to change angels into devils, but humility has proven itself to be the foundation and bond of all virtue. Those who are conscious of how much they owe others are usually the ones who dis cover the streaks of gold in the clay. Whoever has learned to forgive him self little and others much has put himself in the way to disclose the streaks of gold in the clay. Human nature does not shine much if it does not come Into the right relation to it's divine source. It may grovel and be abased, or 1t may look down upon it. self and be exalted. William Penn voiced this sentiment Sense shines with a double 1uster when it is set in humility. An able, and yet humble man, is a jewel worth a kingdom"

BLOCKING NEUTRALs

This country is not hurrying into a declaration of war against Germany. Tt Is keeping it's head and insisting upon it's rights although 1t is not rushing into trouble to do so. This IS indicated by the answer which has been given to the officials of the American line regarding the sailing of the St Louis. The state department hag decided that the vessel will not be conveyed but 1t has told the com pany that the rights of Amer fcan vessels are the same now as they Were prior to the issuance of the Ger man submarine declaration, and that n neutral merchant vessel may, if its owners believe that it is liable to be unlawfu1iy attacked, take any neces- sary means to prevent or resist at tack"
 Just what is to be done regarding been announced. but the indications are that it will sail within a few days and there is a probability that it will go armed for defense.
 But with the exception of the Brit 1Rh and French vessels which continue to leave our ports. there has been a halt put upon shipping by the sub marine order. From the number of ships which are getting through the war gone as well as those which are being sunk it is apparent that the al- lies are not frightened or blocked by the new policy. But business is being turned from neutral to British and French bottoms which virtually makes n blockade of neutral countries rather than of the bel.igerent and the aban- donmentwo of neutra1 rights upon the high sea WhEther this is going to be permanent ghing or is just the con- ditfon following the putting into eff feet of the unjustified German policy will probably be decided within a r0Fur4r4tfvelv brief time

in all the farms and there is also very little decent horsefiesh to be seen. Ow- ing to the enormous lack of labor the land has fallen into wretched condi- ton. Weeds are everywhere a great plague and crops of all kinds are suf- fering in conseq uence. Many fields are lying fallow, and the number of such fields must steadily increase, owing to the deficiency of labor.
 Fat or fat products are scarcely ever to be obtained. Hence the work men at Krupp's. at Essen, were glad to accept a tenth of pound Of fat as a Christmas present.
 ''The peoples drink, beer, Is very bad, indeed, and the quantity obtainable has become very much smaller. It Is generally reported that from Feb. 1 the distilleries will have to work ex- clusively for the army. Young fellows who had returned home owing to their having been wounded, told me that the consumption of strong drink in the army was enormous. It Is used, they said, especially before an attack, to keen the mems courage up.
 'The people speak more freely than a year ago about questions connected with the war. have repeatedly heard thoroughgoing Germans declare that Germany had willed the war. Hardly any one believes that Germany will now issue from the struggle triumph ant; but the people hope that she will come out of it without injury. They hope for it-but hunger Is sharp sword.
 ''It is to be noted that now and again great troop movements take place in the direction of the Dutch frontier, which appear to coincide with rumors that the English intend to invade Holland.
