THE BIG THING.
By Abbie Farwell Brown Of The Vigil
antes.

We had war of independence: lit
tie democracy came into being and stoo'
for itself. The big thing was in EN-
bryo.
We had a war of liberty our growins
democracy stood for great human ant
national ideal, and forces were aligned
for the big thing to come.
We had war of righteous interior
ence; our great democracy stood for the
cooperation of neighboring nations; anC
the big thing doomed near.
The big thing has come! We have a
war to the death of right against wrong
Our mighty nation, equipped with power
and influence, proudly self conscious, uni.
fled by danger. has chsmpioned the prin-
cipes of world brotherhood, democracy
and justice. America has grown to her
chance! She stands now not upon her
own rights: not upon the rights of a
class or condition OF men; not upon the
rights of her neighbors or friends but
upon the rights of the whole free world.
Hers is the first national voice raised for
the broadcast internationalism.
A big thing indeed The biggest thing
that has happened since Christendom.
And we are in it! We ineonspicuous
individuals, chosen by inscrutable Provi-
dence to be alive to-day, we each share
it! We cannot escape. The privilege
of being alive in these hard, terrible, glo
rious times entails its responsibility
upon each one of us, to do our bit; as we
can. No one can be a spectator only.
" hoover is not helping by thought, word
or deed, is on the other side.
What is our part in the big thing?
We must each discover. And hten we
must put our individual shoulder to the
big thing and push, with all our might
All together now!
America TO the rescued Freemen allied
with freemen the world over against
tyranny. America helping "to make the
world safe for democracy" brotherhood
and peace.
Isn't that big enough thing to live

| be accomplished by dividing the garden
| into two parts, one of which is available
for cultivation, fowls being kept on the
other half and changed from one to the
other about every two to four years.
The gallworm is absolutely dependent
on the roots of the higher plants for its
| nourishment. If no such plants are al.
! lowed to grow, the pest is starved, and
in the course of year or two it can be
brought to a stage where its ravages
will not be serious.
Alternate Garden and Fowl Run.
The suggested alienation of fowl run
with garden may be brought about SOM
ply by fencing in the fowls. If possible,
it would be wen to arrange the divi-
sion of the land in the direction of its
slope, so that the drainage will not be
from the garden to the fowl run or vice
versa The idea is to keep the fowl run
free from vegetation for year or two.
This means that about the maximum
number of fowls for the area must be
kept and that the soil must be occasion
ally spaded or otherwise stirred. This
stirring of the soil is good thing for
the fowls and helps also to reduce the
nematode pest, for every time the earth
is spaded fresh soil is brought to the
action of the sun and air and becomes
more or less disinfected through their
action on the eggs and larve of the
pest.
There are thousands OF gardens where
this procedure is practicable. Definite
with regard to the existence
of the gallworm nematode may be oh.
tanned by submitting abnormal roots to
the department of agriculture for exami-

Admits All Pro-Gern,ans
Denour,ce His Actions

Mr.. Burleson has stated that he has
received more complaints about my
writings than about those of Mr..
Hearst. In view of Mr.. Burleson's rec
ord and actions, there is small cause
Tor wonder in this. Every pro- German
and anti-American, every believer in a
feeble American war and triumphant
herman peace, every man who follows
Mr. Hearst, would naturally appeal for
sympathy to Mr.. Burleson in de-
nunciation of what I have done.
"Messrs. Hearst and Brisbane
through their papers have been un-
ceasing in their attacks upon England
and Japan. The New York American
on December 20, 1917. said that the
offensive and defensive alliance then
negotiated between Japan and Eng
land was aimed at the United States
This deliberate falsehood was pub
iished at the very time that England
was defending US with her feet and her
army. There could be no meaner ex-
ample Of treachery TO our allies and
OF sabservience to our enemy. It was
thousand times more worth the at
tention of Mr. Burleson than anything
done by the small papers against which
the Postoffice Department did act.

language of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, of Washington's farewell
address and of Lincoln's Gettysburg
speech.
"This is one side of Americanism.
But there is another side just as i'm
portant. If man behaves as an
American it is an infamy to hold his
creed or his national origin against
him or to fail in any way to give him
the square deal as an American. If
the man is a straight American it is
our business to stand by him.

Palatinate by the armies of Louis XIV

these were ancestors of mine. At

Harvey Says Brzrleson
Is Encouraging Enemy

the Mort North American nns can Review W War ar
Weekly that Mr.. Burleson is en-
couraging enemy language publications,
by having special division whose
function is to assist editors of for
eign language papers 'in complying
with the law The Act of Congress
provides that all foreign language pa
pers should submit to censorship or
go out of business. The Postoffice
Departments duty is merely to sup
of reasonable practices Apparently,
as Mr.. Harvey points out, Mr.. Burle-
son, instead of suppressing papers that
preach sedition, establishes division
to show them how they can escape
suppression.

during the last year and quarter have
tended to serve Germany and have

Gus other papers published in English
or German which have been less i'm

"On April Professor Guernsey
Jones, of the University of Nebraska,
published an article in The Nebraska
State Journal on The Enemy Press
He quoted various articles that have
appeared in German american papers
since the war, and lsome of them as
late as January, February and March
last, championing the German-Ameri-
can Alliance, attacking England and
japan, announcing that the problem of
the German press is to save Deutsch-
tum in the United States demanding
a peace which would give Germany the

English blood took the lead against the
British King and his hackers.
I'm this war it should be the Ameri
can of German blood who takes the lead
against the Germany of the Hohen-
zollerns. the Germany that has become
menace to liberty and to justice and
to mercy and to honor throughout the
world. America has special and in
tolerablc grievances of her own against
Germany, for no nation is worth being
called nation if it permits such
wrong as Germany did this country to
go unpunished.
But in addition America is fighting
the battle of all we'll behaved nations.
1t is fighting for the right of free peo-
pies to exist. No nation can be of
iull effect in such a war as this unless
1t stands loyalty by it's. allies; and any
man who now seeks to embroil us with
our allies is a traitor to the cause of
America. W.
Nor can any nation make such a
ngnt effectively if it is not itself
united. We can permit no division
mere. Our ideals and our principles of
ness must be the same in Whatever
part OF the country we dwell and from
Whatever stock we came. Therefore
we must have but one tlag-the Ameri-
ca can flag, and but one languagewthe
Engllsh language. In our primary
schools nothing but the English Ian
ssuage should be taught or studied, and
lhe law should require that after a
reasonable period every newspaper in
'h's country be published in English.
Warns Lutheran Church
"As for our higher institutions of
learning, all foreign languages should
be taught in them insofar as it is con-
sldered necessary, but the language of
tne nigh school or college itself should
always be the English language, and
only the English language-just as it
is in Wittenberg college to-day, Just
as 1T is in Rutgers College, which nv
own Dutch Reformed ancestors helped
to found. And what is true of the
newspaper and the college is true of
the church. Let the Lutheran Church
profit by what befell my own church,
the Dutch Reformed Church, in New
York. That church clung to Dutch as
language and dwindled until it's lead
ers saw that it was doomed unless it
adopted English as it's tongue.
"1f the Lutheran Church tries to re-
main a German church, using the Ger
man language, either it will dwindle or
else it will be an alien body in the
American commonwealth. We Ameri
cans must speak in the school, in the
