Conductorettes Need Temper.

WASHINGTON, April /. - What
kind of women make the best con-
ductorettes? The choleric, quick
tempered woman, answers the "Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung," copies
of which arrived here today.
This German paper made canvass
Of the women on the street cars in
Berlin and has scientifically catalgued
and listed them for comparative eff
cienyc tests. 1t has brought to light
the facetious confederate, the moth
er conductorette, the move-forward-
conductorette and the good natured
conductorette.
"All these women" says the paper,
present class who are doing their
bit to enable us to hold out

still the days and nights were like the
essence of springtime.
The rain of Saturday night and yes
terday morning made the ensuing day
seem all the prettier, and Americas,
after all, enjoyed a fair Easter Sun
day. March, in expiring, appeared TO
atone for it's one instance of bad con-
duct
This has been year of extraordi-
nary weather conditions, but they were
never more so than in March.

TIME FOR STERN STUFF.

The American Defense Society has
recommended to Congress than a pro-
vision be added to the espionage law,
making it an offense to give utterance
to any expression calculated to ham
per the governmental war activities,
ard thereby hinder the progress of the
war plans.
Of course, the proposed act reads
somewhat differently, but that is the
intendment of it.
1t is needed, too.
There are too many pacifsts, too
many rumor-mongers, too many half
hearted people, who are constantly
mounting about the trend of affairs,
who ought to be silenced so that they
will not speak, at least where any
body can hear them, as long as this
terrible war lasts. The people who
pretend to be patriots, and yet who
go around belittling the efforts of the
men in charge, and who insinuate that
something is rotten up the creek, and
who show only feeble disposition to
comply with the unusual requirements
a. this time, they are the ones who
ought to be put in Jail. They do more
mischief than the out-and-out German
propagandists.
In addition if this amendment to the
espionage law is enacted, it would give
the authorities something on which to
work when seeking to reach the
mealy-mouthed, white-livered, thin
blooded kind who are constantly fight
ing the government in a sneaking, in
sidious way
Senator Overman is also proposing
in the Senate that the death penalty
be imposed on every German spy
caught in this country. He is right
about it. An American caught spying
in Berlin would not live long enough to
write to his folks back home Next
mornings sunrise would witness his
execution. But the German spies in
this country-and it is estimated that
there are many thousands of them
are treated entirely too nicely. They
are interned, usually, among the re-
sorts of North Carolina and every COM
fort and convenience is made for them.
They grow sleek and fat in their "im-
rrisonment," and really enjoy life,
without a single worry. War is harsh,
and harsh measures should be adopt
ed by those who engage in war. Par
icularly should stern stuff be melted
out to the spies who send information
tc Germany which may result in the
deaths of thousands of fine young
Americans.
Our espionage law needs repairing in
number of places and Strengthening
in some others. 1t should have claws,
in it that will reach out for those
members of Congress, who like La
Toilette and the junior senator from
Georgia, utter disloyal sentiments
in public speeches.

GERMANS PLAN TO SEND

is crushed-Egypt,
That in a r,Itsheil is the German

Although not quite so confident as
they were refore the spring offensive.
the Huns in the drive begun yester-
day to capture Paris and in a later
drive at the channel ports to occupy
the seacoast from Dunkirk to Havre.
That accomplished, a great army
will be sent to help the Turks seize
the SJez canal and place all northern
Africa under German Control.
"win War In East"
This campaign is made plain by
articles in government-inspired Ger
man newspapers, written by junke-
leaders,, who emphasize the fact thar
Germany can never become a world
power so long as she is shut up in
Europe. Due to the failures on tne
Western front, the German public is
being taught that the war will be
won in the Far East and in Africa
To allay the fear that no German
land victories can break the British
naval blockade and give Germany
access to the sources OF raw materials.
1t is maintained that the Germans
will oe able to strike successfully not
only at Egypt, but through Persia
and Afghanistan at India.
DR.. Paul Rohrbach in a recent ar
ticle in 'Deutsche Politik'' gives this
expression of the German plan:
The Washington herald., 1918-07-16

There must be a complete reversal
Of the situation on the Euphrate and
in Palestine as soon as we can effect
a great increase In our strength there.
The English may accumulate in Egypt
whatever they like; they are lost as
soon as, the war in Europe ended. we
come to the help of the Turks with
all our strength.
"suffoeate I'm Europe,
England cannot seriously risk a
collapse in Egypt. II her life line
running from Gibraltar through the
suez Canal to India is successfully
attacked. England is lost. Here we
have the possibility OF realizing
peace"
And DR.. Hans Ehremberg, writing
on the same subject in the "Voss-
ische Zeitung." says the German peo-
pie must realize that II they do
not win their struggle for world
position they will be thrown back
dpon Europe to suffocate there"
Possession Of the coast of Flan-
ders," he adds, would not make
Germany free as against America or
the Anglo-Saxon combination. To es-
cape from that position we must
gain a secured outlet to the ocean,
and to that end it is not enough to
possess Constantinople; it is also i'm
perative to gain control OF the Suez
Canal. This would give Germany a
pledge of victory in the future great
naval and colonial war"
