The boys and girls of America have contributed no little toward the winning of this war by their increased activity in growing gardens. Tn less than three months following the declaration of war, gardens In cities such as Birmingham had increased in number threefold. Their acreage likewise increased.
 Objection has sometimes been offered to the effect that the food grown in our gardens is perishable. Many of them are perishable. But it is our duty to con- sume these perishable foods, releasing a like quantity of foods that may be shipped, foods not perishable, and which will keep our soldiers overseas hearty, and happy and proud of the big l.. $. $. G. A. "back home."
 In our grand old state, under south ern skies. from three to five crops of garden products may be grown. We, in our plenty. In the years gone by have grown only one or two of these crops The biggest and best crop comes in the late summer and early autumn. We have missed this crop many times. Since flood will win the war" we can see to 1t that our gardens produce the full- est measure for the duration of this war.

STILL BEING DEMANDED
Pan-Germans Making Des- perate Efforts, However, to Save the House of
 HOhenzOllern

Washington, November 5.--Abdication of the Kaiser still is mooted question in Germany, according to reports reach ing Washington today through official channels. The military clique and pan Germans are making desperate efforts to save the house of Hohenzollern, while socialist leaders and others demand it's fall. Officials expect that events of the near future will reveal the full-extent of the numerous intrigues
 On the day that the German Emperor addressed his transcript to the chancel- Tor. saying that the "Kaisers office is one of service to the people," the semi official Wolff agency sent to Switzer- land and Germany telegram which of- ficials say may explain why the rescript. dated october 23, was not published un- til November 8. The telegram said
 Discussing the question of the Empe- TOT, the Lokal Anzeiger notes that the Reichstag parties have deliherated these last few days, and the result of these de- Alterations Is that the Emperor has neither any reason nor necessity to ab- dicate and the members of the center have already made known that they are I al liberals are unanimously of the opin- Ion that the Hohenzollern' dynasty must remain on the imperial throne.
 The radical party In general are also of this opinion. The women of the Chris tian social party have already manifest ed their attachment to the monarchy"
 It was pointed out today that the Lokal Anzeiger did not mention the attitude of the Prussian social democrats, who are said n favor ah6iCn fion IT al xvna rt- garded here as certain that the Lokal Anzeiger was incorrect in saying that nearly all the socialists of southern Ger many wish the Kaiser to remain in charge, for the Munich Post. the Mann helm Volksfreund and the Chemnitz Volks zeitung have demanded his abdi- cation.

Here are the central figures in the events which forged Turkey to plead for an armistice. General Allenby's forces drove the Turks from their strongest positions and their final and successful plea came after the fall of Aleppo. General Marshall's army, which kept driving on, really forced the Turk to show his last card. Enver Pasha, Turkeys young war minister, was responsible to great extent for bringing his country into the war and having it's army officered and di- |rected by Germans.

yasive tactics of the German-Austrian propaganda in this country, foollns the very elect and causing many patriotic Americans to sympathize with the Teuton as against the Anglo-Saxon, for England was held up as a menace to the Cnited States on account of her sea power. If our antagonisms failed to be aroused toward the mother country then pan Slavism, with the awful Slav peril to Eu- rope, was trotted out on the stage and the great white bear was made to emit terrifying growls. The central powers were great showmen when it came to frightening the American people. Ii the roar of the British lion failed to strike terror then they prodded the Russian bear.

 I reckon every schoolboy when the humiliating peace terms have soaked in, will know that it was not Russian az gression which brought about the down. fall of Austria Hungary, but listening to a false friend, the Mephistophelean Kali ser of the north who took their Emperor on high hill and showed him rivers. seas, mountains and wales to be had for the taking if he would only be sure enough Teuton and curb the insolence
 or the Anglo-SaXon.
 I wonder what the author-consul Lud- wig thinks now of this para
 graph in his highly misinforming volume: T venture that this war will be of short
 duration. Both sides will soon see the uselessness of continuing the struggle when the forces are about even and neither side can totally destroy the other" Then so sure is he that he is right that he italicises the following lines, T be- lieve, however, that the gain Will be with our side" He modestly admitted it might be only slight gain. I dare say the following would throw the Kaiser into a fit just at present if
 he could stop long enough to read it, for friend Ludwig gives us a reason for the faith that's in him in this curious rea- soning: T base this belief on the fact, be- coming more evident as the war is pro- gressing. that the people of Austria-Hun- gary and Germany are linked in much firmer union than the people of our present allied enemies.'
 
 Picture the feelings of tho war lord
 of Potsdam as he realizes that 1t was
 rope of sand with which he tried to bind
 up an empire in Mitteleuropa, and
 that now his friend, the Sultan. and his
 brother emperors have turned their backs
 upon him and none are so poor as to do
