The Kaiser's JaiI-Bird Friend.

Alexandria Town Talk, June o2d
The Kaiser is apparently becoming
reconciled to the idea of his dear
friend and fellow criminal. Lieut..
Franz Won Rintelen. serving out his
term in New Jersey penitentiary for
fomenting strikes in American muni-
ton factories. At any rate nothing
further has been heard from the Ger
man Government since Secretary Lam
sings stinging reply to the German
note demanding his liberation.
That note itself remains of the most
curious revelations of Prussian men,
tality i'll all the strange diplomatic rec
ords of this war. The Berlin states
man solemnly asserted that this fla
grant criminal. caught red-handed COM
mitting a penal crime against Il
friendly nation, and convicted for it
as any other criminal. native or for
eign. would lie. was imprisoned CON
trary to international law They ad-
ded the delightful comment that ''the
Government of the United States was
apparently not sufficiently cognizant Of
it's international obligations toward a
German subject
It is beautiful to hear the arch
yiolator of laws and treaties preach
ing the s;inctity of international law,
especially in. defense of 4 criminal
whose crimes were committed by order
of that government itself.
1t may he that, as was threatened
III that charming communication, the
German Government still '.contem-
plates some appropriate measure Of
repfisal," in case the United States
| does not free Won Rintelen in exchange
for some unknown prisoner held by
| Germany and alleged to be an Ameri-
can citizen. But it is not likely. AZ
Secretary Lansing blandly pointed out
| there are far more German subjects III
America than there are American citi
Zens in Germany. and if it comes to a
game of reprisal. Uncle Sam has a fine
strategic position.

What We Have Missed.

National War-Savings Committed
Gypsy Smith says: You have never
seen the havoc. witnessed the slaugll-
ter. suffered the agony, felt the heart
break that have come to the allies OF
Europe ut the hands of those people
who are not fit to be named in Il civ.
iliZed community. And all this to sat
isfy the diaholical ambition of the
butcher of Berlin
Well, there is only one way for us t.
stop this, and that is by: getting back OF
our Government with every power al
our command. Aud we can begin by
pledging ourselves to save to the ut
most of our ability and to buy War
Savings Stamps that there may bt
more money, labor and materials fol
the Government with which to tigh

purchased his small farm there were
several peach trees which had been
given no care. He started trimming

because if they did they would have no
peaches He trimmed his trees SO far

thought he had either killed or ruined
the trees. However. the severe prun-
ing was what the trees needed. New
wood was produced. and Oh the new

that raSpberries would not grow in this
country. He sent East and secured
several dozen plants and set them out.
They not only thrived but produce two
crops Il year, so that he practically has
ripe raspEerries all the time.
People just get it into their heads

never try" said Mr.. Joseph. That is
the reason people here do not have in
their yards things which 90 to sustain
life. l find that anything in the fruit

Through Education.
Mrs. Preston's message to the wo-
men Of the country reads in full:
"Proclaim Liberty"
"'Proclaim Liberty throughout ALL
THE LAND unto all the inhabitants
thereof
"These words were written about
1890 years before Christ, as part of
the Law of Holiness in the Book of
Leviticus. Our fathers inscribed them
upon the Liberty Bell which called our
mighty nation into life.
To-day all the inhabitants enjoy
liberty, the Jew and the Gentle, the
rich and the poor, the native and the
alien-bOrn, the weak and the strong.
The old Liberty Bell is silent, for it's
voice has been heard throughout all
the land
aced along the battle fronts of many
nations, our own among them, and
America requires new motto for her
old Bell: Proclaim liberty through
out ALL LANDS unto all the inhab-
itants thereof Until liberty is safe
in all lands, it can not be safe in our
own. Hence the task to which Amer
lea has reverently and unselfishly ded-
icated herself.
"Make Motto Real"
1.-The Fathers of this Republic, men
of many races, with common love OF
liberty, wrought into law our ancient
motto, thus giving liberty chance to
enlighten the world.
To-day we, their descendants, are
called upon to make real the new
motto, and thus to give liberty the
undisputed right to bless the world.
"This can be done but only after
heroic struggle and self-sacrifice. A
premature peace would mean failure.
1t would be only less disastrous than
complete defeat. Against all tempta-
tions to compromise the women OF
America should stand firm and united.
"Peace and Safety"
Victory means peace and safety
for our children; defeat means hui
| initiation and practical servitude for
them; while q negotiated peace, with
| the military machine of Prussia I'M
| broken, means that everything in th;sr
! lives must be subordinated to the task
of preparing for another war with
Germany. We can win now If Amer
lea can be held steadfast and nm
swerving, and the women of America
can hold her steadfast."
