Dear Sir:
Yours of April 10 to hand and con-

President has so many important
matters on his mind do not know
just how to go about botherng him
with your patriotic suggestion The
poor man is worked to death almost.

friends are uneasy lest he will break
down under the load.

A BENIGHTED PEOPLE
philadelphia Record

Germany has weighed the Lithu-
anians in the balance and found
them wanting. After a preliminary
survey, she has decided that these
people do not possess that degree
of kultur which would qualify them
for the Prussian conception of
autonomy"
A vivid, not to say lurid. picture
of that preliminary survey which
brought Germany to this conclusion
has been given to the public press.
Here is the report (the German ver-
sion is doubtless on file in Bellin
with ether scientifically accurate
state papers); IAN orgy of rapine,
pillage, crucifiXion and drunkenness
beyond description witnessed by
Lithuanians since their country was
overrun by the Germans.
The Huns have given free rein to
their lust for flesh and blood. Count
less bodies of girls of tender age
sacrificed to the brutality of the
German officers have been found in
the deserted German trenches
Having drawn her conclusion
from this thorough survey, Germany
has determined to forcibly annex
the country in order that the Lithu-
anians may become possessed of
sufficient kultur to deserve Prussian-
i2ed autonomy. Could missionary
zeal for a benighted people go far
ther? In just what the lack of the
Iithuaniaus consists, wherein their
kultur is insufficient, it may be lit

WOMEN ALIEN ENEMIES

The espionage bill passed by the

well as to men. And why not? Wom-
en- in Washington were undoubtedly
of great service to Won Bernstorff IN
supplying him with desired informa-
tion which they could ascertain
through social agencies better than
men. They were useful, too, to Won
Papen in New York.
These women and many others of
their class are perhaps in Washing
ton yet and may be known to the
government. 1t is high time, there
fore, that means should be taken to
round up such spies and, as a pre-
liminary, to require them. as well as
enemy alien men, to register. Not
all enemy aliens are spies by any
means or unfriendly to the United
States, but all alike. because of the
peculiar conditions. must be more or
less under suspicion and must sub

grace they may. If they are inno-

THE BEST SIGN

TIE Germany has been looking the
situation over in the United
States with the hope of finding
n lurking inclination toward an in
elusive peace, as developments in
Europe appear to indicate, her rep
resentatives must be grievously dis
appointed with what they have
found. The best sign of the times
is the steady, unshakable conviction
of the people that we are going to
win the war. one and all realize
that we may be, and probably are, in
for hard, gruelling contest of lons
duration. That We recognize this
and are willing to face the condition
cheerfully and confidently is a fact
that should give the German mill
tary group pause for thought. We
are young and strong in men, money
and resources, and we have not
yet begun to fight. Germany is
tired and her supplies of men,
money and the munitions of war are
no match for ours. All we need,
then, is the will to win, and, thank
God, we have it in an unmeasured
. degree.

Introduce q certain topic of con-

It's a shame the government
doesn't do something to these pro-
German spies and mischief workers.
Every day or two we read how some
enemy of the United States has been
arrested for carrying off valuable
plans, or for trying to blow up n
munition plant or for tampering with
American airplanes so as to make
them deathtraps for our boys flying
in France. And what does the gov
ernment do with them? Why, pack
them off to an internment camp,
where they are we'll fed and so well
treated that they do not even have
to work. It's a shame; that's what

Bad as egotism is, it is infinitely

They are gloom-spreaders and

Self-pity is the most exquisite
form of selfishness, the camouflage
of impotence, the acme of disagree
ableness.
Self-pity requires no brains, no
capacity, no worth. 1t is sheer and
utter no-accountness.
If you pity yourself, you are hyp-
Noticed by yourself. Come out of it!
No self-pitying clerk ever rose to
