The congressional party brought
back MANY stories from the fighting
fronts in France.
"At q camp for German prisoners
behind the British lines" said mem
Der of the party In Washington, "a
detail was called out for some ditch
digging. None of the British guards
could speak German and none OF the
Germans seemed to be able to under
stand q word of English.
Under the circumstances 1t was
difficult to give orders, and the Tom
mie' had a terrible time showing the
prisoners what they wanted done. For
this reason they drove the diggers a
little harder. perhaps. than the union
rules allow.
Finally one big German, his face
aglow with perspiration dropped his
shovel, Strengthened UP painfully and

A prosperous farmer Of the old

he hadn't drunk a glass OF water for
twenty years. While on a journey
one day, the train was wrecked while

boat hook, and when they got him on
shore one of his friends rushed up,
crying: Are you hurt? p

the support of German financial interests and the
determination Of foreign policy toward practical
results"
Among it's avowed plans was the consolida-
ton of central Europe by the annexation by
force of the Teutonie regions surrounding Ger
many-Belgium Holland, Switzerland, and Den
mark. Another was the practical annexation
of Turkey, by the extension of the Bagdad rail
way with the redemption and colonization of
Mesopotamia. Other plans involved the seizure
of northeastern France, notably the port of
Boulogne and the iron region Of French Lorraine.
These plans were, in general, opposed by the
German Government as involving risks few

crisis or stream Of events" which would leave
him no choice. Brailsford asserts that it is "the
function of the prime minister to have his hands
forced" Almost every prime minister since
1891 has had this experience at the hands Of the
Pan-Germanists.
While the general scheme was of the nature
Of conspiracy one could hardly call it "secret
plot" as its purposes were proclaimed "from the
house tops by retired officers and by it's sub
sidized press. It's purposes, some of which were

The "lust for annexation" was the avowed NOV
ing spirit of the league. The Vaccinations of
this group operating under the shelter of dynastic
power were directly responsible for the attacks on
Serbia and Belgium, and therefore for the incep-
ton of the world war.

The action Of the government in requisition-
ing wheat held on farms Is in accord with en-
lightened patriotism. The government used all
persuasive methods at its command to get this
supply from the farms to the evelators. When
farmers refused to heed the urgent calls Of the
federal authorities, there was only one recourse
left-to requisition the what.
Food Administrator Gilbert has given far
mers ten days to market the wheat they have
stored on their farms. If they fail to comply,
he will! haul the supply to the market.
America cannot win the war, if all our re-
sources are not effectively administered. Wheat
stored in barns and graneries assists the Ger
mans in defeating us, for it keeps from our civil
ians and soldiers foodstuffs that are urgently
needed.
The price of wheat was fixed last year. 1t
meant good return to the farmer. The price
gave him profitable return for his investment
and his time.

The Pan-Germanist Union
rBy David Starr Jordan]

Of the various combinations looking at once
toward monopoly, exploitation, nationalism, and
war, the most noted, as we'll as the most powerful
is the "Adeutschtum Verband," or Pan-Ger-
manist Union This was founded in Berlin in
April 8, 1891 The immediate occasion was the
exchange at the instance of the young Kaiser Of
the island of Zanzibar for the island of Heligo-
land. Zanzibar the key to vast colonial
empire, while Heligoland was useful potentially
as naval shelter. This transaction appeared to
many to sacrifice great colonial interests to Sec
ondary matter of coast defense.
The Pan-Germanist Union was opposed to all
policies of Cancellation of whatever kind. This
placed it in opposition to acts of the ministry in
power, for no government can exist without
certain degree of Cancellation and compromise.
It's center was with the agrarian nobility With
these were associated the great iron manufacture
ers, exploitcrs of Asia and Africa, the military
generally and large group of "intellectuals,"
professors, editors, Travellers clericals, imperial
lists, expansionists annexationists, militarists,
titled gentlemen Of leisure, supporters of "a Wig
orous foreign policy"
The society numbered in 1914 about 100000
persons; $500 in foreign lands It's primary
function was the exaltation of the German world
state, the control of all education in the interest
of world politics, the support of all natonalistic

Idle Acres.

Nearly every farm has some portion
of it that is either not used at all or
is used in such way as to produce
very little. On many farms there are
patches of low ground which can not
be titled because they are too wet.
Usually when drained these wet areas
are the richest land on the farm.
Just at present, when the world is
engaged in the most gigantic struggle
in its history, the forces of democracy
against those of autocracy. the pro-
duct of these idle acres is needed.
This is an excellent time to put them
into use. Small patches of wet land
can be drained at small expense. Be-
tween now and the opening up OF
spring work there is ample time to do
the work. This year the farmer has
been able to sell his products at a fair
price and has the money with which
to buy the tile. Every farmer, part
of whose farm is unproductive be-
cause it needs drainage, should take
advantage of the present opportunity
to add to his cropping area by supply
ing the necessary drainage. These
lands will produce more than average
farm lands. Every product will help
to win the war.

These were good general lubricants,
but unsatisfactory for watches. One
of them had tendency to evaporate,
another would creep all over the move
ment thus reducing the amount nee
essary to keep the pivot fabricated

oil producers sought for new source
of supply.
The Smithsonian institution was
called upon for aid and after much

of North Carolina, inshore from the
Diamond Shoals, were found to be tie

FINE LURRIcATING OIL
FROM JAW OF PoRPOiSE
Industry Finds New Source Of Supply
OFF North CaroIina-Substitute
Never Discovered.

The oil that 1ubricates the wheels
Of watches is obtained from the jaw
bone of that interesting animal, the
porpoise-commonly mistaken for
fish. The porpoises which supply the
oil are found on the Diamond shoals
off Cape Hatteras, some distance from
the mainland of North Carolina.
The beaches of this desolate region
are accessible only by small boats.
Here the sturdy fishermen lug in the
sleek; graceful porpoise, which for
many years was considered useless
and supes'iuous by the residents Of
Hatteras, who devoted their time to
catching the shad, mullet, kingfish
drum, pigfish and sturgeon, which are
still found there in abundance.
1t was an old whaleman from New
Bedford, Mass, who discovered that
the fluid melted from the marrow and
jaw bone of the porpoise acts as 4
first class lubricator for delicate ma
chinery when properly strained. At
the time of his discovery the most del
icate machine was probably the chroD-
years voyage without oiling, and T.
is from this discovery that the por'
poise oil industry developed.
Engaged in the catching of porpotse
for this purpose at one time were
some of the best known families OF
New Bedford, but the whaling indus
try declined with the discovery of pc
troleum and, with the passing or the
whaling industry the production OF
rorpoise oil also waned. At the same
period the production of instruments
Of exquisite precision increased and
It became possible to manufacture
watches so cheaply that scarcely any
