The New National Spirit

One of the significant events showing the growing solidarity of the American people the subject of war; is the accession of the United Hebrew Trades of New York to the cause of the This assoca- ton, which contains some 100000 members, in the beginning antagonistc to the war. large number of its members socialists Many of them natives of Germany, Austria and Russia They opposed to in theory AS an organ ization, the association had declared against war
 This action has been reversed and the organiza- tion has declared it's support of the and has decided to take active part in promoting war financing The chief factors in determining the attitude of the Jewish organization the demon straton in Russia of the complete failure of radical socialism and the spectacle of disorganized Russia lying prostrate, by German hordes.
 It the high devotion of the American republic to the principle of democracy. that brought to the Hebrew association the realization duty and it's interests lay the side of the government in the Radicasm has demonstrated in Russia that it will simply lead to the enslaving of the people under the domination of powerfully organized nations
 The history of the present war has demonstrated that the spirit of conquest as powerful among the Germans it in the days when the Huns overran Europe. People unable to defend themselves being ensaved and their institutions plotted out These lessons not lost the Jews of New York ply proof that in the fires of the war the American people being welded together and national spirit is being developed.

South American countries The city of Valparaiso for the moment, has become the city of refuge for Teutonc notables who have found their positions in the countries to which they had been accredited longer tenable.
 The result is according to travellers who have turned to this country, that German influence has sensiby increased in Chile during the last three months. These efforts directed the surface toward keeping Chile neutral but in reality they supposed be aimed at the ultimate of the countrys destinies
 When these activities first reported, 1t supposed that they being directed control of the congress which was shortly to be elected and it then predicted that the work of the ploters would be manifested in the proceedings of the con- Whether not congress has been controlled. has been made apparent but manifestations have occurred in the army and the churen.
 Apparently the pro- German organizations have plenty of money-whether supplied by German resi- dents the German government, is known though that is detail that does matter. One of the active of the societies has for it's object the mutual interests benefits Chileans and Germans yet it is defined in It's own textbook printed in German as league to propagate "Kultur" and the of the German language and customs, It has branches in nearly all the important and is rapidly increasing in membership, this latter sisting of Chilean born Germans who may be de- pended upon to support German interests in Chile.

The White Carnation

The annual celebration of Mothers Day will cur next Sunday. Though this is the youngest of holidays, there is other more feelingly observed by those who participate in the celebration. We may not enter fully the spirit of Christmas which to most of is only day of good cheer So, like wise is Thanksgiving which to many of us has en- tirey lost it's original significance The Fourth of July does inspire that degree of patriotism which the founders believed would be re-aw awakened each recurring natal day. All of them have become sea- sons of festivity. We would dispense with none of them All in take back to the great events they were designed to commemorate
 But Mothers Day, the day of the white carnaton will never be dmmed by the dust of ages; time rob it of it's significance; it never become a day for any other purpose than that for which it intended. Though it may become old, it will be Each year will bring celebrants Each year will find who for the first time have realized the saeredness of mother and will fully weigh the great debt they owe her. That realization can come only with separation She may have passed away; the celebrant may have wandered away Lone iiness and regret will have overwhelmed him, and there comes to him for the first time the true ap- prasement of her who bore him. of her great sacrifice. of her and protection of him during his years of heplessness and of the unnecessary pain he her in the waywardness of his youth
 He may think of these things often; doubtless he would do with unavaling regret if there were no Mothers Day. But that day these things will come to him with peculiar force. It will be a day of repentance and of worship. The introspection which will be induced will make him better man. It will place him again under the influence of his mother which the sheet anchor of his youth. If ais start in active life unfortunate, the awaken ing of the memory of his mother will give him start He will proceed upon his journey with chart of the pitfalls which ensnared him before He will again be mothers boy.

GERMANS WOULD BUY CHILDREN

There appeared recently on the walls of Warsaw the following proclamation:
 The government suggests that mothers having children should send them to Germany be brought up and educated Mothers who willing to make this arrangement will receive the of 15O marks (S351O) for a boy and one hundred parks (s23.4O) for girl. No other aid will be given"
 The proclamation signed by Governor Gen. eral Besser.
 Germany is suffering from huge drainage in population The death rate far exceeds the birth rate, the former having risen tremendously and the latter declined in alarming proportion. This explains the brutal bid to Polish motherhood for children
 A boy is worth fifty marks than a girl to Germany because boy be made a soldier in time, while girl can be only mother The cool commerciaism of this discrimination in price stamps the plan for what it isa shameless traffic in human flesh. Our only wonder is that flat rate should be offered rather than based on weight physical condition and age.
 Note the cruel lash of the final sentence: "No other aid will be given" In plain words, If you will not sell your children then you and they may starve to death"

Put the loafer at Work

The town of Amarillo Texas has decided that it will harbor no loafers during war tme The pro- posal has been made that Phoenix adopt similar resolution and since it be done eventually why not now? Sooner later the whole country must come to it. and the come, the better.
 We have something more than 1OOOOO,OOO people men, women and children. At least 3OOO0oO men, the flower of the land. will be actively engaged in military service. Some millions more will be oc- cupied with activities at the front or in the camps. Other millions will be busy in the manufac- ture of munitions and supplies, in the construction of ships and in various unusual duties imposed by the war;
 Thus there removed from their ordinary vo- cations, many millions of citizens. the who would be most effectively engaged in useful industry if they at home And the demand upon the in dustries they have abandoned for the war will be greater because of the That is especially true of the agricultural industry, for have more food than ever. We see, therefore that there must be drafted into labor many thousands, some millions of men who have labored.
 The population will have to be thoroughly "combed out" in search of to take the places of those who have been withdrawn The rich loafer and the poor loafer be drawn into the service of the country To find them, raids must be made upon the clubs and the park benches alike upon the pool rooms and upon every place where loafers loIl or congregate

Under the proposed amendment every young man physi- oITry f;t .;II the country coming of age and the further sug- gestion has been made to raise the age limit to 40 years
