WOODEN STOCKINGS?

Turning trees into silk. stockings has
become an important industry in the
United States in recent years. During
the last fiscal year more than 5000, 600
pairs of stockings made from artificial
silk, obtained from wood pulp, were ex-
ported, the National City Bank says. The
United States has now become one of the
leading world producers of artificial silk.
From being large importer of this
product, this country has become con-
siderable exporter. While the textiles
made from the artificial fiber are not yet
fully equal to those produced from the
natural silk, the growing use of the arti-
fetal silk is illustrated by the fact that
our imports Of artificial silk, chiefly in
the form of yarns or threads, aggregated
about $50, 000C0O in the last decade.
With the opening of the war the supply
from Germany and Belgium was entirely
suspended and that from Great Britain
and France materially reduced.

How to Stop the War.

Do your part to put an end to the war!
Put an end to your part OF 1t. Stop
fighting! That's the simplest way. You
can do it you soldiers, Just stop lighting
and the war will end of its own accord.
You are not fighting for anything any
way. What does it matter to you who
owns Metz or Strassburg, you never saw
these towns or know the people in them,
so what do you care about them? But
there is little town back home in the
little old United States you would like
to see and if you keep on fighting here in
the hope of getting look at these old
German fortresses you may never see
home again.
The only way to stop the war is to stop
fighting. That's easy. Just quit it and
slip across "No Mans Land and join
the bunch that's taking it easy there
waiting to be exchanged and taken home.
There is no disgrace in that. That bunch
of American prisoners will be welcomed
Just as warmly as you who stick it out
in these internal trenches. Get wise and
get over the top.
There is nothing in the glory of keep
ing up the war. But think of the in
creasing taxes you will have to pay, the
longer the war lasts the larger these taxes
at home will be- Get wise and get over.
All the fine words about glory are
tommy rot. You haven't got any bust
ness fighting in France. You would be
better fighting the money trust at home
instead of fighting your fellow soldiers
in gray over here where it doesn't really
matter two sticks to you how the war
goes.
Your country needs you, your family
needs you and you need your life for
something better than being gassed, shot
at, deafened by cannon shots and rem
dered unfit physically by the miserable
life that you must live here.
The tales that they tell you of the
cruelties of German prison camps are
fairy tales. OF course you may not like
being a prisoner of war but anything is
better than this internal place with no
hope of escape, except by being wounded
after which you will only be sent back
for another hole in your body.
Wake up and stop the war! You can
if you want to. Your government does
not mean to stop the war for years to
come and the years are going to be long
and dreary. You better come over while
the going is good. --.-e

ANOTHER TRUTHFUL GERMAN.

DR.. Steinager, professor of law, writes
in Der Tag of Berlin as follows:
mo criticism could be too strong be-
cause the Emperor's action was unkingly,
unsoldierly and unmanly and served TO
give the death blow to the monarchical
idea in Germany. A monarch cannot
run away like a schoolboy. A man, wi o
like this last of the Hohenzollerns repre-
sents five centuries of history, commits
by such conduct a crime against the
dynasty and the people.
"If he thought himself incapable Ct
retaining his position the battle front
offered him an opportunity of at least
making a kingly and dianified exit, cast
ing q fresh lustre on the monarchial idea. I"
