IN HONOR OF AMERICANS
West Siders To Call Mud Creek "The
Marine"

Many cities in the United States
among them Kansas City, have nam
ed streets and boulevards, after
General Pershing, but Abilene west
siders have found new plan. Mud
creek runs thru the central portion
of the west side and whenever vis-
itor comes to town and asks what
creek it is, the unpleasant name
Mud Creek is always given.
And now the west siders have hit
upon a plan and will honor the
American soldiers by calling the
creek "The Marine over in France
the Marine means the first American
victory In Abilene it will commem-
crate that first victory and anyway
Marne is SO much nicer than mud.

VOLUNTARY ENLISTMENT
OUT OFF ENTIRELY NOW
Not Even Glass Four Men Can En-
list in the Service

An order issued from Washington
states that voluntary enlistment III
the army and navy were complete
IL suspended today to prevent ais
ruptiou of industry pending DISPOSE
tion of the bill proposing to extend
the draft ages to include all men De-
tween IS and As years. Orders were
issued by Secretaries Baker and Dan
iels directing that no voluntary en-
pistments he accepted after today
until further orders.
The order also exclude civilians
flom appointments to onicers
training camps until further notice.
1t was explained that the view OF
the government is that many of the
older men are indispensable in their
nresent occupations but the natural
result of the debate on the draft age
question is certain to lead to rush
to the recruiting offices. 1t is regard
ed as essential that men greatly
needed at home should be prevented
from rushing into the army under a
mistaken idea that they are certain
to be drafted anyhow and prefer
TO ioin the service voluntarily.
1t was quite evident that plans
for applying the new draft limita-
tons to the older men include
yerv careful classification Of each
individual to determine his position
at home and probably a far more
liberal construction of industrial ex-
emption rules than has heretofore
been the case.

How Germany Made War
on Us in Time of Peace
BY w. A SCOTT, Director of the Course of Commerce,
University of Wisconsin

In the short period of three years
Germany transformed the United
States from a friend and admirer, into
an enemy at war. This fateful change
was due to a number of causes OF
these the most wide-reaching was the
war of the German government on our
country during time when we, in our
blindness, supposed we were at peace.
The war in Europe was not three
months old when there was established
in New York an advertising agency"
under the charge of German named
Won Igel. This Office was raided one
day in April, 1916 by four United
States secret service agents. They
forced their way past the giant who
always stood guard over the inner Of
fee, and after a fierce struggle in
which Won Igel fought like a tiger
arrested him and seized the mass of
papers in his possession.
The reason for Won Igels tiger-like
fight became clear at a glance. Here
in the form of letters, kilograms, re-
ceipts, account books, etc., etc., was
supplied detailed and absolutely con-
vincing evidence that the German gov
eminent had been engaged for
eighteen months in war against the
United States.
Among the papers were those show
ing that Won Papen, the military at
tache of the German embassy, had
paid out money for placing bombs in
American merchant ships, and that
Ambassador Won Bernstorff himself
had signed checks to pay certain
American newspaper men to spread
the pro-German gospel, while they
posed as disintereSted American citi-
ZeE5,
Other entries showed Germany
using our territory to work up an Irish
revolution against Great Britain, main
tanning a spy system, supporting a
bureau for the purpose of stirring up
strikes in munition plants and else
where, and paying stated sums of
money to certain newspaper owners
who were glad to place their newspa-
pers at the service of the German gov
eminent for value received.
The Won Igel papers cover only a
comparatively small part of the Ger
man war against the United States in
1914-16.
Won Igel and Won Papen, it appeared
from other sources, superintended per-
sonally the making of bombs on the
German steamer Friedrich der Crosse,
interned in New York harbor, and saw
that they were slowed away safely in
the holds of outgoing ships.
Another member of this band Of
plotters was Dr. H. F. Albert, He ar
rived from Germany with a letter of
credit for four million dollars in his
pocket, and the assurance that he
might have forty million altogether.
He was to use it to manufacture pub
lie opinion, to purchase the votes of
Congressman, and to do whatever else
would advance the great cause.
Still another star performer was
Robert Fay. He did his bit, in part,

Who Gets the Money?

The United States department of
agriculture estimates that only 46 per
cent of what the consumer pays for
agricultural products gets back to the
farmer. In other words, the farmer
manages to hold 46 per cent as his
share of the dollar which the con-
sumner is forced to pay for farm prod
ucts. 1t is not essential to our pur-
pose that the figures are absolutely
correct. The main question is whether
the farmer is receiving all that right
fully belongs to him or whether he
should organize more thoroughly and
receive a larger ratio of the retail
price. If the present charges of manu-
featuring, distributing and retailing
farm products by private concerns
were not excessive, there would be no
object in changing the system.

by hiding bombs in the coal bunkers
of ships and tying them to rudder
posts. At his trial models of bombs
of his own invention were exhibited.
By his own confession and that of his
partner the money for this cOmbina-
ton of treachery and murder was sup
piled by the German secret police.
In this dirty business the directing
spirit was the ambassador of the Ger
man Government, Johann Won Berns-
torff. An ambassador is a guest of
the nation to which he is sent and is
supposed to behave as such. But for
nearly three years before his recall
he devoted himself to intrigue and the
plotting of violence and murder. His
best remembered words while among
us will always be those of his letter to
his government in which he asked for
authority to spend fifty thousand dol
lars, in order, as on former occasions,
to influence Congress through the or
garization you know Of"
Not contented with waging war
upon us directly, Germany tried to stir
up bad blood between us and our
neighbors by treacherously violating
our hospitality. Her agents used our
territory as ground on which to make
plots with discontended Hindoos
against India. They helped to promote
movements which were intended to
tear Ireland and Canada from the
British Empire. From our side of the
border they made number of direct
attacks upon Canada, such as the
dynamiting of the international rail-
road bridge at Vanceboro, Maine, and
the attempt to destroy the locks of
the Welland canal.
Mexico received much attention
from these gentlemen. Germany hand
ed over six hundred thousand dollars
to the exiled Huerta to enable him to
stir up a new revolution in his unfor-
tunate country, placed one of her war
ships at his disposal, and supplied him
letter, of January, 1917, will be re-
membered by everyone.
In this letter the German minister
of foreign affairs proposed that in
case of war with the United States,
Mexico and Japan should join with
Germany; and promised Mexico she
should receive as her share of the
plumber New Mexico, Arizona, and
Texas.
In this long list Of outrages nothing
has been said about the submarine
warfare waged against us. 1t began
with the sinking of the Lusitania, May
7, 1915, when ia American citizens,
men, women and children were fou1ly
murdered on the high seas. 1t con-
tinued till the toll of American lives
had cached twice that number
The German government stops at
nothing She has become danger to
the whole world. The danger from
her, when we at length broke off rela-
tons, was not remote and problemat
ical 1t was at hand. She was actually
making war upon us.
