THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
BY Herbert Quick

We should have had to accept mur.
der as thing against which we could
not defend ourselves.
We should have allowed this new
horror to become a part of all future
wars, and have been responsible for
its incorporation into international
law.
We should have proved that because
the fire which burns up our farms
usefulness is beyond the horizon, we
would submit to the kindling of 1t.
We might have accepted the sew.
enty cents for wheat and the six cents
for cotton, but we could not have done
it merely because we were command
ed to do 1t. BY SO doing we should
have accepted degradation. We should
have begun. after winning our free
dom in our own revolution and estab-
fishing union on the foundation Of
liberty in the blood and tears of our
war between the states, to knuckle
under to autoNTacy! We should have
basely yielded up our birthright as
Americans.
Such thought is intolerable Peace
at such price would not be peace,
but only a preparation for a future
revolt against subjugation. Better
1 any sort of war; better war forever,
kthan that.
Whenever the time comes for new
sacrifices, let us remember that we
flight, not for our liberties tomorrow
or next year or twenty years from
now, but for our freedom today Not
for the right to live in the future, but
for the right to make living this
year.
German oppression had begun to
pinch us before we entered the war.
If we had not declared war, but had
aceepte6 tba conditions of life ordered
for US by the kaiser, we should today
be a pOvefty-stricken people. Our fac.
tories would be shut down, our work.
men unemployed. our people starving,
our farmers ruined by the poverty Of
those for whose consumption they
grow their crops. There is loss and
sacrifice in the war, but there would
have been far more of loss and sacri-
fice in accepting the German terms.
We should have lost more in money
than we have spent in the war, but
we should have lost something far
more precious. We should have lost
our souls.
The third to be published next week.
Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1918-03-29

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers OF America
In it's ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss of profits, but slavery 10
the saber-rattler Of POtsdam. He pur'
posed to make us slaves by numbering
the people who took our products 70
market BY all the laws of Civilized war
fare, commerce under a neutral nag
was free from any hindrance except
the legal interference justified by war.
But the Germans not only stopped
merchant vessels, they sank them.
Sank them without warning, without
trace-the most devf1ish thing war
has seen since the savages scalped our
ancestors and threw screaming babies
into the flames of burning cabins.
The German plan Of sinking mer-
chant vessels without trace is based
on the murderer's maxim that
dead men tell no tales" 1t was exc
cuted by the massacre of men, wom-
en- and children. who, having COM
mitted themselves to small boats In
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed, were meTcilessly raked
with gunfire, and exterminated to the
last unprotected, unpitied soul! These
are the murders that stain the hands
of the kaiser, his advisers and min
ions These outrages were per-
petrated on neutral vessels; when all
that civilized warfare gave the Ger
mans a right to do even with the mer-
chant vessel under hostile. flag, was
to stop 1t at sea and make lit prize
of war
To kill the civilians on board, even
under a hostile flag, was. nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these mur-
,ders were committed in order that we
might be enslaved! Having the right
to take the sea with his feet, but be-
ing afraid to do so for fear he might
lose it, and being unable by fair
means to stop the selling of our pro-
ducts to his enemies. the kaiser de-
clared that he would do it by the foul
est methods ever resorted to in war
He declared the sea closed, and that
he would keep it closed, not by war,
but by murder.
To have submitted would have
cost us dear in prosperity; but that
would have been the least Of our
loss.
We should have had to grovel before
the German government.

CHAPTER XIV.
We Capture the Ship.


 They were in no way gentle about it. yet the work wasrnoiselessly done, and with sailorlike thoroughness. Dugan undertook to curse, but was so instant ly gagged that only the first muflled word reached me in the passage. Mas ters held the lantern, while the two mates refaStened the door, driving home the nails with the iron bar. The moment this was seeure.I was ready for the next act.
 ''Give the lantern to Olson, Masters. You've got to look after the engine room, and leave us to attend the deck job. Therell be those sea-cocks to see to first. and then keep enough fire un- der the boilers for steerageway. Down with you, and don't pay any attention to whatever we do."
 Heavy as he was he went down the iron rungs of the ladder like fireman answering call. and the three of us who were left behind in the passage, stared into each others faces, barely visible in the dim radius of light.
 "What next, sir?" asked Leayord anxiously. "There's only three of us now, an forty-three O them"
 "One leSs-you're counting Dade, and he's safe enough. The boy Moon is of no account, and I imagine there are twenty men out in those boats who have no heart in this business. They'd be with us now if they had any chance isn't that so, OlsonT
 'Yas, sir-but they won't likely git no chance"
 ''True enough; yet it is something to knew that McCann and his gang can not count on them either, if it comes to n fight. As things stand it is all mat ter of luck and nerve. There are only six in the boat hanging to the foot of the ladder, with McCann left alone on deck. We ought to be able to handle that bunch"
 Leayord dug the iron bar he held into the deck blanks savagely.
 "What did yer tell Masters to only keep up enough steam for steerage- way for, sil'?" he asked bluntly.
 "I was afraid they might notice, if he fired E9."
 "'Tain't likely, so the tunnels don't git ter blazin'. The only fellers with eny brains are in thet boat close in alongside, sir, an they can't see nuthin' frum thar. Them common fo'castle rats in them other boats never would notice a bit more smoke"
 sWhat is it, Leayord? You have a plan2 Speak quick, man; we can't stand talking here.' z--z-.

Before he could move to escape, or even throw up hand in Self-defenSe, 1 had him by the throat, my other hand twisted in his Waistband. He was a man nearly, if not quite my own weight, yet, at that moment. mine was the strength of a giant, and with one mighty effort lifted him clear off the deck, as help less in my grip as if he had been a child, and. with one desperate heave, swung him out over the rail, and let go. l staggered back. weakened for an Instant by my own violence; l heard him cry out, the sound muffled in his throat as. he fell: Vera gave utterance to a sob, and the whirling body struck the black water below with splash plainly audible, Still gasping for breath, I leaned out and looked down.
