And Some Think We Should Wait
For a German Invasion.

The hideous thing which the AL
lies are fighting in Europe is more
clearly revealed BY nothing than by
a little item Of news which has come
out Of Russia in dispatches appear
ing during the last few DAYS. II is
lsimpIe statement to the effect that
every member Of the wonderful wo-
mems battalion which has been
thrilling the world by its bravery
and effective fighting carries in a
pocket Of her blouse little phial
containing cyanide Of potassium,
ito be taken in case Of capture by
the Germans"
1t is a simple statement OF fact
ia itself so significant that 40 en-
bellishment or elaboration can pos
sihly strengthen it. German armies
have swept into Russian territory at
many points. German soldiers have
passed through Russian cities, towns
and villages. They have ,overrln
the farm districts. Women and
children have remained behind at
ter the troops they have counted on
to protect them had fled.
Aye, the women Of Russia know
what to expect Of these soldiers o.
Germany, the evangels Of kultur. :
And those daughters of liberated
Russia who fear rot German bull
let's, but go into the trenches or
terms Of equality with their owr
brethren, carry phials Of the dead
Hest Of poisons on their persons be-
cause they know full well what theil
fate would be as prisoners of war
in German hands. Albany Herald

DO NOT FOLLOW
COTTON WITH COTTON

The practice of following cotton
with cotton is considered poor farm
ing practice, but in weevil territory
it is considered dangerous to the crop.
The College Of Agriculture is urging
through county agents and others that
the farmer be persuaded as far as
possible to use cotton fields for other
crops and put the cotton where it did
not grow the previous year.

Germans chiefly counted, are fading, even
a. German crops are whitening. These
signs are all encouraging This should
not on any account cause the public to
forget or neglect the need to meet the
submarine peril.
As the whole entente world has by
now wisely said, the U-boats must be
checked 1t remains to be seen how far
the intensified patrol system now in force
will help to mitigate the length and Sc.
verify of the new German submarine
raid. To stop the U-boats altogether,
it seems more and more likely that new
methods of dealing with them will have
to be furnished by invention. Awaiting,
or it may be failing, adequate help from
inventors, there is one thing clearly to
be done, and that is to launch new ton
mage.
What. then, is to be said of the dis
agreement and delay in the organization
charged with building the projected

ting back the whole shipbuilding pro-
gramme. These men are at variance, not
over any question of methods of work,
but over the very basis of the whole pro
ject, the question whether to build in
steel or in wood. Let the best method be
what it may, the worst method obviously
lies in failing to decide on one way or
another.
The most urgent need of the moment
perhaps, is for America to start replacing
the losses of merchant tonnage. With
out such action on this eountry's part,
the raising of armies. which would later
lack means to reach the theatre of war,
can have little significance; without it
neither the successful course of the mill
tary operations, nor the failure of Ger
man crops, nor any other favorable in
fuence can exert its full force. The
greatest opportunity and the greatest re-
sponsibility on the whole allied side rest
quite possibly with the two gentlemen
at Washington, whom we have named
New York Evening Sun.
