SOUTH AMERICA
NO HUN REFUGE
August Wilhelm Better
Forget His Dream Of
New Empire.

Buenos Aires-Do German lmpeTial-
lists still dream of a German domlna-
ton OF South America?
Do the Hohenzollerns hope to stage
a comeback with this continent as
the base of operations?
Do they plan an empire here such
as vas dreamed of for Maximilian In
Mexico?
These are questions asked as it IS
learned that August Wilhelm and his
wife are planning TO come to Argen-
tina.
For thirty years Germany pursued
a program OF penetration in South
American countries. Sho colonized
till thousands of German subjects are
on the continent.
She has claimed more than 100000
native-born Germans are IN one sec

controlled the finances Of Argentina
and Chile.

countries.
Loss of Freedom.
Nowhere in the world do conditions
seem as favorable for a recovery OF
German prestige as in South America
if the Germans overlook the fact
that the people of these countries have
realized the loss OF freedom that comes
with Germanization.
German army officers have trained
the armies of Chile till the very uni
forms and personal appearance Of the
soldiers are German. But the Ger
man ideal is shattered in Chile.
Argentine business and government
al circles have been influenced and
controlled by Germans. But the Lux
burg expose was an awakening and
the popular demonstrations against
Germany and German agents was
convincing to the most ardent pro-
German that the dream was over in
Argentina.
President Irogyan, who was counted
on as pro-German, has come to be
considered radical and wilful," rather
than pro-German by those who OBJ
jected to his brand of neutrality dur
ing the war.
In Buenos Aires more than 200, 900
marched in a demonstration for war
with Germany after the Luxburg ex-
would be a poor spot for a Hohen-
zollern to get a fresh start.
Interests are Heavy.
The Hohenzollerns undoubtedly have
heavy financial interests concealed in
South America, probably in Argentina.
But the fact that France. Great
Britain and the United States still
live and that Latin and Teuton do not
merge, no matter how adaptable the
Teutonic ingredient tries to be in the
process, bars fear of German domi-
nation.
Maximilian. he Hapsburg. brother
of Francis Joseph, tried to rule in
Mexico and he had the army of the
French empire at his back. His policy
was the rejuvenation of Mexico"
When it failed he tried ruthlessness.
Yhen France withdrew support at the
urge of the United States and in 1861
Maximilian surrendered to he army Of
the republic of Mexico. was tried and
shot and his body turned over to the
Austrian government
1t was the last attempt OF an Euro
pean power to set up a government in
the lew world. Another would end as
disastrously.

THE AMERICAN.
nd Uncle Sam knows it!

Who are Americans?
Should the citizens of other coun-
tries on the North American continent
be properly denoted as such?
The issue has been raised, that the
Latin-Americans are as much entitled
to the nomenclature of American
as the people of the United States. who
are most known as such.
There is absolutely nothing to stop
Latin-Americans from calling them
selves Americans, but as long as they
persist in calling themselves Cubans,
MeXicans, Brazillians, &C, and insist,
as they generally do, upon being
known as such, it is not up to the citi-
zens of the United States to worry
about the matter, particularly as
Latin-Americans call us Amerieanos
and have done so for generations.
Only one nation on this continent
has star-spangled banner, and in
the literature of foreign nations the
star-spangled banner invariably con-
notes the American" flag.
In every city directory are listed
hundreds of firms and enterprises
whose names begin with American. j"
But the trade directories of Latin
American cities seem to be practically
bare of evidence that they need, want
or will tolerate any Americanizing.

WHAT THE FARMER GETS.

Considerable misrepresentation in the
country as to the return which the
farmer is getting for his different
grains, is shown by communications
received by the Food Administration.
Wheat now brings the highest return
to the farmer, per bushel, of any SCI
real crop, as it usually did in pre-
var times
The following tabulation of the
prices receied by the farmer for the
different cereals has been compiled
from data published by the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
available to anyone who cares to
verify the facts for himself:
Wheat; Average price received by
farmer during three pre-war years, per
bushel, $0.S69; price received by far
mer now, per bushel, $4,000; percent
age increase of present over pre-war
price, 131.
Corn: Average price received by
farmer during three pre-war years.
Fer bushel, $O.665; price received by
farmer now, per bushel, $138S; per-
centage increase of present over pre-
war price, 100.
Oats; Average price received by
farmer during three pre-war years, per
bushel $O.4O4; price received by far
mer now, per bushel, $O.7S7; percent
age increase of present over pre-war
price, 1O5.
Barley; Average. price received by
farmer during three pre-war years. per
bushel, $O642; price received by far
mer now, per bushel, $tS19; percent
age increase over pre-war price, 105.
From these figures it is clear thai
the price of no other grain has adj
yanced so much respecting net return
tt farmer as compared with pre-war
conditions, as has that of wheat Corn

increase to the farmer, as against 131
per cent. advance in wheat The trans
portation difficulties have operated to
create higher prices to the consumer
because it has not been possible for
the railroads to get grain tot primary
markets as fast as the demand for ex-
port and domestic use could and would
have absorbed This has resulted in
maintaining an artificially high differ
entail between farmer and consumer.

THE NEWSPAPERS OF TODAY.

A Syracuse, ~ Y, exemption Doard

sential industry, necessary for the sue
cessful prosecution of the war, and on
that ground has granted the appeal OF
Young man who had been put in
Glass /.
We do not sympathize with the
newspaper man making this appeal to
escape army service. We think he has
all the symptoms of slackerism and
the trench is the place where he be-
longs.
However, we do agree most heartily
with the exemption board that the
newspaper is one of the most essential
Instruments for the carrying on of the
war,
Without the newspapers, the United
States, even Great Britain, would to-
day be the helpless prey of the mon
strous Hun
Napoleon estimated that even in his

hundred thousand bayonets. doubtless
meaning that they had that much
power for influencing public opinion
The public may be led by newspapers
where they cannot be driven by bay
onets; it was so a century ago, and it
is even more true today For there
are now more newspapers, they are
more generally circulated, and they
are more widely read.
Wendell Phillips declared that the
morning misrepresentation he said
that the morning newspapers were
overwhelmingly in the majority-real-
ly did more of the governing of the
nation than the lawmakers in Wash
ington.
Without the newspapers, the gov
eminent today would be helpless
floundering, unable to make any prog
ress.
The newspapers put both Liberty
Bond campaigns over the top
The newspapers, more than any
other factor, made the Red Cross cam
paign success.
The newspapers have contributed
most materially to developing the sale
of thrift and war savings stamps.
The newspapers have awakened the
public to the importance of food con-
servation
The newspapers have stimulated pa
triotic impulse to a degree it never
would have otherwise attained
The newspapers are doing mighty
work, more valuable for the welfare
of the country than they have ever
been called upon to do before. They
are doing this, the most of them, at a
sacrifice; for the war has hit them
heavily, increasing their expenses, re
quiring larger tax payments of them
and making their labor difficult to OBJ
tain and higher in price when it is
secured. IN spite of many obstacles
too numerous to lenumerate here. the
newspapers have put their shoulder to
the wheel, and are cheerfully I'M

WATCH OUT FOR
THE ARMY WORMS

Two kinds of army worms may be
troublesome in Louisiana during the
next few months. Farmers should watch
their fields carefully for appearance Of
these pests as control measures, in order
to give most satisfactory results, must be
practiced when the worms are small.
The fall army worm is especially fond
of grasses, corn, and alfalfa, but feeds
also upon many other cultivated crops.
Upon various factors, such as the nature
of the crop attacked, will depend the
method of control to be used. Grass and
alfalfa can often be saved by cutting it
and making it into hay before the worms
have damaged it. Attacked plants may
be sprayed with an arsenical, as arsenate
of lead or Paris green, or poisoned bats
such as are used for the control of cut
worms, may be distributed in the fields.
When they are moving from one field
to another the worms may be trapped
and killed in bitches with steep sides.
