Midsummer Nights
Dream, 1918
By Sarah Addington

IF YOUR grandmother came to town and
Il you should take her bobbing around in
taxicab, the dear old thing would clutch at
her glasses, flap her gloves at the dizzy
landscape and give gasp for every bounce
For that would be New York, the expected.
to-be-exciting New York.
But put her in a seagoing hack, that
gentle relic of an older world, and see if
grandmother doesn't lean back as happy
and content as if she were back home in
the old family carriage, with high beaver
hat beside her and q hand in hers that
used to be grandfather's For to grand

that to climb in one of those rare old

Our Socialists Abroad
, the Editor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In Introductory note to an arti-
Gle by John Spargo you make the following
statement:
John Spargo. who is now in Europe as a
member of q delegation sent with the approval
of the State Department to confer with Socialist
and radical groups in the Allied countries has
been ntrusted with mission of great impor-
tance. His purpose is to cement the labor and
particularly the radical. elements of Europe in a
closer relation with those elements in America
and thus to show Germany that labor throughout
the world wants to crush Teutonic militarism
A Socialist writer of international reputa-
ton, who bolted the Socialist party because OF
its anti-war attitude and who came out souarely
in favor of war to victory, Mr.. Spargo was
given special facilities by Secretary OF State
Lansing and others in Washington to 90 to the
Allied countries
This statement is entirely correct except
as to the personnel of the mission. The
chairman Of the mission, as submitted to
the government at Washington, was not Mr..
Spargo, but Mr.. A. NJ. Simons, formerly a
member Of the National Executive Com
mittee of the Socialist party, editor of sew
eral leading Socialist publications. includ-

Sir: wish to express my hearty approval
Of your editorial entitled "Snobs and the

many Of our o-called intellectual people,
seems to fail utterly in understanding, as
you say, "this great democratic war the
country is wagine. the unity Of our nation
trench with home and home with trench
blood boiling in every loyal American,
whether he is fighting or not, at the despica-
bilities of German warfare"
Our nation owes a debt that can scarcely be
estimated to such papers The New York
Tribune for their powerful and loyal edi-
torials in arousing the manhood Of our
country. If we had been left to the guild
ance Of such journals as "Tho New Repub-
lic' land would have been led into
course that would have been our eternal
disgrace. The great heroes in the war of

ITS A LONG, LONG WAY TO TIPPERARl!"
Hideous Partners
BY Theodore Roosevelt
(F'rom has Lafayette Dar speech)

n is sometimes announced that part
Of the peace agreement must be a
League of Nations which will avert
all war for the future and put stop to
the need of this nation preparing it's own
strength for its own defence. Many of
the adherents of this idea grandiloQuently
assert that they intend to supplant ma
tionalsm.
In deciding upon proposals of this
nature it behooves our people to remem-
ber that competitive rhetoric is poor
substitute for the habit of resolutely look
ing facts in the face.
Patriotism stands in national matters
as love of family does in private life.
Nationalism corresponds to the love
man bears for his wife and children.
Internationaism corresponds to the
feeling he has for his neighbors gen.
orally.
The sound nationalist is the only type
cisely as in many private relations it is
the man who is most devoted to his own
wife and children who is apt in the long
run to be the most satisfactory neghbor.
To substitute internationalism for
nationalism means to do away with pa
triotism, and is as vicious and as pro-
foundly demoralizing as to put prom1s-
cuous devotion to all other persons in
the place of steadfast devotion to mans
own family. Either effort means the
atrophy Of robust morality.
The man who loves other countries as
much as his own stands on a level with
the man who loves other women as much
as he loves his own wife. One is
as worthless a creature as the other.
Test the proposed future League of
Nations SO far as concerns proposals to
dsarm and to trust to anything except
our own strength for our own defence,
by what the nations are actually doing
at the present time. Any such league
would have to depend for it's success
upon the adhesion Of the nine nations
which are actually or potentially the
most powerful military nations; and

new MARvELS
IN Wire INVENTION
ARE REPORTED
40 Telegraph Messages Can
be Sent Over Same Wire by
New Discovery.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-New mar
vels In the telegraphy and telephony
were announced today by Postmaster
General Burleson, in making public a
report from Theodore N Vail, presi-
dent of the American Telegraph and
Telephone Company. BY new discov-
cries CT his staff 40 telegraph mes
sages or five telephone conversations
can pass simultaneously over the some
pair Of wires, or combinations Of tel
egraph and telephone messages in the
same proportion.
Previous discoveries had made pos
sible the sending Of IL telegraph mes
sages over the same pair Of wires, the
use Of two pair of wires for three tel
ephone messages simultaneously, and
the use OF a pair OF wires for tele-
phone and telegraph circuits at the
same time, but no such multiple sys-
tenn is this now announced had been
hoped as commercial possibility.
Early in the life of the telegraph the
duplex system came into being, by
which two messages were sent over
the same wire at the same time. This
system is now the common one en-
ployed. Later Edison discovered the
quadruplex system by which four mes
sages passed simultaneously. In the
early '90's the dual use of the same
wires for simultaneous telephone and
telegraph purposes came into COM
mercial being.
The new method has been in opera
tion between Baltimore and Pittsburg
for more than n month and has stood
up under the severe tests Of the
weather conditions during that time.
Government officials accompanied by
telephone and telegraph officials made
in inspection this week, and all agreed
on the commercial possibilities Of the
new discovery.

HOW TOGROW
MORE WHEAT

BY GEO. c. BRYANT, Field Agent.
Indiana farmers are the best in this
country. Last fall they increased the
wheat acreage in the state 25 per cent.
This fall another increase is asked.
Will they come across? l have no
doubt but what they will exceed the
acreage asked for by the government.
The labor situation makes it impera-
tive that the farmer SOW more wheat
this fall than last. The government
needs the wheat and the Indiana far
mer gives the government what it
!! wants, even the boys from the farm,
and father and mother and sister go
out in the fields and take the boys
place. Can you beat that? Indiana
is proud of the record the farmer has
made in this state and everyone takes
great pride in telling what the Ind
lana farmer has done to help win the
| war Besides furnishing more SOL
diers, per capita, than any other
state, she has furnished more bread
stuffs than any other state, with one
exception, in the winter wheat raising
states. Some class to the Indiana
farmer in my opinion.
/ would like to put in a few words
| of advice though, on putting in the
wheat crop this fall, for some of them
| do not think as seriously as the city
| business man: Pillow early and let
the ground lie fallow as long as pos
sible; harrow frequently after rains
so that the ground will be thoroughly
pulverized. Use fertilizer and treat
the seed. Of there is no county agri-
cultural agent in the county to show
you how to treat the seed write to
| the Department of Agriculture, Wash
| ington, D. c., or to Purdue University,
Lafayette, Ind If possible select
ground that will not be exposed to
the cold north winds. Unless the
ground is we'll covered the fields slop-
ing to the north and northwest US
ually show more winter-kill than do
the others. These precautions will
more than repay the farmer.
The average yield per acre for the
| 1918 crop was Il bushels, for the state
as whole, which is nearly 6 bushels
above the 1O-year average. The ex-
! ceptionally favorable winter of course
| is to be given some credit for this
yield but the same yield could be

And then don't you believe that the thought
steals into their minds that the fellows back home
can take life easy, that they can buy whatever
they want, that they've got snap in comparison
with the life overseas.
Don't you believe that the sailors and soldiers
value their lives just as highly as you do yours.
No shell is going to cave-in your house or knock
your front porch into smitherines while you are
smoking your cigar or pipe. But that's what may
happen to their trench any minute and take their
lives with it.
If their lot can be made easier, their minds
be made more content, their spirits vitalized by
letter from home, isn't it your duty to be
letter-writer?
