GERMAN EDITOR
DEFENDS WILSON
AMERICA RIGHT, WE ARE WRONG, is
WHAT HARDEN TELLS HIS
PEOPLE IN HIS PAPER.
(By Associated Press.)

COPENHAGEN, Apr. 80, via London,
May 2.-Maximi.ian IIarden publishes in
the latest edition of De Zukunft another
daringly frank article exposing to German
readers the 'sharls, pretenses and mis-
takes of their governments policy. Z
The article is devoted to the entry of the
United States into the war, which. Herr
Harden warns the people, must be taken
more seriously-both from the moral side,
as a sympathizer of the weakness of Ger
many's appeal to the neutral world, and
the failure Of her foreign policy, and be-
cause of the physical aspects of the weight
that American will ultimately be able to
throw into the scale.
He declares that Germany's peace over
lures were put forward only as a bridge
over which German could pass to %relent-
less submarine warfare.
Herr Harden has only words of praise
for President Wilson and his policy and
reveals a sighting opinion of DIR. Alfred
|Zimmermann, which he did not conceal nj
the time OF Zimmerman's elevation to min
~-terial rank.
Another article H. Herr Harden culmin-
|ates in IN appeal to Germany to put the
interior of her house in order and intro
luce democratic conditions, which the
writer says j. the only sure basis for flu
ture peace.
Scarcely less noteworthy than this
>cathing critisism of German diplomacy
but not that of Count Won Bern,torff, for
mer ambassador 10 the United States.
whose work he prai>es), is Herr IIardcn's
justification to German readers of Ameri-
cas- attitude during the war and his demo-
|%lition, for example, Of the ~favoritc pam
German arguments that the United States
was inspired solely by dollar chasing and
looked upon war only as a source for enor-
nous profits FROM munition supplies.
The United States, Herr Harden declares.
could nave continued to amasS unmeas-
ured riches, not from munition contracts.
from which only a minute part of its in
come was derived, but az u worlds source
Of supply.
Instead, he adds, the United States
chose for an ideal To reject a continuance
of its profitable neutrality to load itself
with a burden of expenditure which no
other country could safely bear.

ELECTRIC FAN FOR DRYING.

From a warm weather Instrument
primarily the electric fan appears tol
be applicable to the problem of the
hour-the conservation of our food.
The United States department of
agriculture has suggested the use of
the conventional electric fan for dry
ing vegetables. In a bulletin on the
subject it states that tests have
proved that many sliced vegetables
and fruits placed in long trays three
feet by one foot and stacked in two
tiers end to end before an electric
fan can be dried to the requisite dry
ness within twenty-four hours. Some
vegetables require even less time.

sells seized by the United States, and
other German civilians. Their depor-
tation, which ordinarily would take
place, is improbable, in view Of the
international situation.
These aliens receive no compensa-
ton from the government except such
as is allowed them for work actually
performed, and the wages paid them
are not exorbitant at all. In fact, If,
from their labor and other sources
they receive more than moderate
amount Of money month, all in ex-
cess of a reasonable amount for their
care and comfort is withheld from
them and placed to their credit in the
postal savings banks or some other
safe disposal of il.
The Department of Labor also Off
cially states that these aliens are not
allowed an excessive amount Of
food, but three meals day of plain
but thoroughly palatable, substantial
food are given each. There is no
waste in these detention camps and
the same measures of economy and
conservation are being practiced
which are being urged upon every
American household.

He WAS TAKING NO CHANCES
Careful Buyer Was Suspicious Of Bar

Real Estate Dealer.

The real estate agent was driving
round town with a prospective buy err
and trying to interest him in GER

shown the same man several pieces
Of property for sale below current

that he would never buy, no matter
how tempting the offer might be.
Finally, the agent, eIasperated 40
his clients faultfnding, said to him.
well, Mr.. Bickering you don't
want to buy anything. 1 don't ex-
Psct to sell you anything. no matter
how good it is OF how low the price"
"T'l buy something good. You
show me a real bargain, end you can
sell it to me-" replied Bickering.

dozen good bargains, and 1 DONE
believe you would buy a dead-sure
cinch for big immediate profit. III
prove it to you right now. Here, I'll
sell you this silver dollar for go
cents"
Bickering took the dollar, exam7
ined it on both sides, ''hefted" it in
his hand, and asked: ais it a good
dollar?
"Of course it is a good dollar" re-
piled the agent. 'Gfs not even
scratched, as you can see."
'"Weli, 1 hardly think / want it,
answered Bickering.
"I'll tell you what I'll do" inter-
rupted the agent. "I'll sell you that
dollar for rs cents. There Is 33 1-3
per cent profit in it for you OF once"
Bickering examined the dollar
again very closely, sounding it and
netting" it repeatedly, asked sew
eral more questions, and finally
handed it back to the agent, saying:
"Well, you can keep this and give
me the 25 cents"

FROM THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.

let there be no misunderstanding.
Our present and immediate task is to
win the war, and nothing shall turn us
aside from il until II is accomplished.
Every power and resource we possess,
whether Of men, Of money, or of ma
terial, is being davoted and will con-
tinue to be devoted to that purpose
until il is achieved.
I'VE shall regard the war as won
only when the German people say to
us, through properly accredited repre-
sentatives, that they are ready to agree
to settlement based upon justice and
the reparation Of the wrongs their
rulers have done. =
when this intolerable Thing, this
German power, is, indeed, defeated
and the time come that we can dis
cuss peace-when the German people
have spoken whose words we can
believe and when those spokesman
are ready in the name of their people
to accept the common judgment of
the nations as to what shall hence
forth be the bases of law and Of cove
nant for the life of the world-we
shall be willing and glad to pay the
full price for peace and pay it un-
grudgingly. We know what that
price will be. 1t will be full, impair
tial justice-justice done at every
point and to every nation that the
final settlement must affect, our enc
mics as well as our friends"
