POST GRADUATES IN ECONOMY.

While Americans of some classes
at least, are getting their elementary
lessons in household economy, Ger
mans are in the post graduate
course.
Germans are now wearing wooden
shoes because of the scarcity of
leather: clothing is being made of
preparation of paper pulp, which
is said to crumple under the first
rain that hits it. Billiard tables are
being stripped of their cushions. and
churches of their bells to provide
rubber and iron and copper for war
purposes. Soap is almost an I'M
known article. Actors are forbidden
to wear new clothes on the stage,
to avoid creating a desire for f1nery,
and the newest order announces that
the use of butter and fats will be
forbidden for nine months in the
year.
How many Germans, we wonder,
would trade their dreams of world
empire for a good bath, a new suit
uf clothes and square meal.
INsoLENcE OF WAR LORDS.
The utter insolence of German
propaganda and German plots and
German overt acts, which finally
drove the United States into the
war, has been outdone in Norway.
The Norwegian police and govern.
ment authorities became suspicious
of a certain courier to the German
embassy at Christiania. They seized
his baggage and searched it. 1t con-
tanned explosives prepared in dozens
of ingenious ways. The explosives
filled everything from fountain pens
to Jumps Of coal.
Explosives prepared in this way,
undoubtedly have caused many of
the mysterious fires and explosions
that have recently been reported on
ships of both the allies and the neu-
trails.
The insolence of Germany was on
a par with her barbarity. The Ger
man government did not seek to ex-
plain the presence of the explosives,
but has asked the Norwegian gov
eminent 20 explain why it dared to
open the baggage which bore the
German official seal.
Doubtless il it suits the pleasure
of the German war lords to drop
bombs on Christiania, the govern
ment will demand to know why the
Norwegians show their hostility to
German Kultur by lodging.

POINTS TO LINCOLN
AS GUIDE in CRISIS
Cannot Imagine Him Saying obey
Germany" Says Judge.

Can you imagine Abraham Lincoln
saying to US today. obey GERMANY
Judge William r. Norris, OF the De-
partment of Justice, faced a large audi
ence OF boys at the Y. II. C. A. yester-
day afternoon and had them on their
feet shouting when he told them what
Father Abraham would likely tell Ger
many.
THE German and Austrian govern
ments today are not governments Of or
for their people. they are governments
enslaving their people.
Father Abraham Is looking down on
US today, a living spirit and he says to
US, Go and finish the work started In
81. started in Cuba In '9s, and that faces
you today"
Judge Norris said that the military
idea of Germany crushed out the human
spirit and that by keeping an army OF
1000 900 men II has forced all other ma
tions in Europe to do the same.
THE guns Of the allied fleet and the
allied armies today are the voice of
God and IL need be our guns too will
speak the word of God I'm this struggle.
Germany is a government of force. a
government by the sword, and it has the
insolence to say to us, Stay out of this
part of the ocean or we will kill your
citizens and blow up your ships.
"If we obey Germany this time and
accept her blockade threats she will have
more orders for US tomorrow"

CALL LOBSTER NAMES
DECAPOD CRUSTACEAN
But Fisheries Bureau Is Planting Him
on Pacific Coast.

What is the natural habitat of a
lobster?
1t is not an amphibious animal-say
the fisheries experts.
1t is amphibious-says common Judg-
ment-
So here you have a difference of opin-
ion which is confronting the Bureau Of
Fisheries in its efforts to acclimate the
lobster
Hoping that old Noah Webster can
throw some light on the controversy, we
refer to him and find that he says:
"A lobster is an edible marine decapod
crustacean."
What a wonderfully lucid definition,
and not at all beyond the understanding
OF the lay mind.
Never knew you were eating all of
that when you cracked Mr.. Lobster's s
skull with a club and cut your hands In
struggling to get at the edible part of
him.
1t is true, as the fisheries experts say,
that the lobster lives in the water. But
they cannot deny that Holsters also live
on land. You come in contact with them
daily in the cafes, hotels, street cars and
in almost any public place. They may
not be Of the "decapod crustaceanF fam
ny, but could be classified under the
"deca plated group, which seems to bear
q striking similarity.
Therefore Holsters must be amphibious.
In its new work the Bureau of Fish
cries should have the cooperation of
every thoughtful man and woman, be-
cause In attempting to confine Holsters
where conditions appear to conform most
closely to their natural habitat, the
bureau is rendering a great service to
humanity.
In this connection the bureau acknowl-
edges its Indebtedness to Prof. Trevor
Kincaid, of the University of Washing
ton, for the efficient services rendered
by him In the efforts being made to ac-
climate the New England lobster on the
Pacific coast

MELTING POT SPELLS
PEACE, SAYS SPEAKER

Race mixing is the most important
factor for bringing about the abolition Of
war" was the contention of DR.. James
Hugh Kelley in an address before the
Washington Secular League at Pythian
Temple last night
'sThe United States affords the best op-
portunity for the demonstration Of the
benefit of race mixing in this regard be-
cause of the many race strains that have
been brought together in this country and
because of its democratic institutions and
principles"
The speaker also discussed whether or
not the United States should enter the
present war; ''The crime We want to
avoid is going to war when 1t Is not
necessary" he said.
