Rumors that the German raider which
successfully operated off the coast of
South America was headed in this di-

the presence of the ship.
That the raider is expected in this
vicinity and that the British men of
war expect to capture it was evident
from the nature of preparations.

SWAMP LANDS
FOR GENERAL
FARMING

In the north central states alone
there are 100000 acres of swamp
lands, consisting largely of muck soils
capable of being drained and brought
under cultivation, while in the entire
United States, according to the census
iB 1909 thnre yg1fs-a tataI Of hut 198 900
acres of cabbage, onions, celery and
peppermint and spearmint-all crops
that are frequently subject to over
production. From these figures the
conclusion is drawn that all the celery
onions, mint and cabbage nor requir-
ed to supply the demand by the whole
United States might be grown on and
are equal to one or two per cent of
the available muck lands of the north
central states alone. The obvious
moral is that any extension of inten-
sive agriculture commensurate with
the available area of muck soil is econ
omically impossible, and that it is
just as well to begin planning for the
utilization of these great and fertile
areas along lines of general farm
ing.-Michigan Farmer.

WAR MESSAGE
Continued From Page one)

peaceful and innocent people cannot
be.
"The present German submarine
warfare against commerce is a warfare
against mankind. 1t is war against
all nations. American ships have been
sunk, American lives taken, in ways
which 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 wa
ters in the same way. There has been
no discrimination. The challenge is to
all mankind. Each nation must decide
for itself how it will meet it. The
choice we make for ourselves must be
made with a moderation of counsel
and a temperatures of judgment be-
fitting our character and our motives
as nation. We must put excited feel
venge or the victorious assertion of the
physical might of the nation, but only
the vindication of right, of human
right, of which we are only a single
champion.
when 1 addressed the congress on
the 26th of February last, 1 thought
that it would suffice to assert our neu-
trail rights with arms, our rights to use
the seas against unlawful interference,
our right to keep our people safe
against unlawful violence. But armed
neutrality, it now appears, is imprac-
ticable. Because submarines are in ef-
feet 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.
1T is a common prudence in such
circumstances, grim necessity indeed,
to endeavor to destroy them before they
have shown their own intention. They
must be dealt with upon sight, if dealt
with at all.
"The German government denies the
right of neutrals to use arms at all
within the areas Of the seas which it
has protected, even in the defense of
rights which no modern publicist has
ever before questioned the right to
defend The intimation is conveyed
that the armed guards which we have
placed on our merchant ships would
be treated as beyond the pale Of law
and subject to be dealt with as pirates
would be. Armed neutrality is inef-
fectual enough at best in such cir
cumstances and in the face of such pre-
tentions it is worse than Intellectual;
