THIS PARLIAMENTARY" WAR
(By Richard H. Edmonds, Editor
Manufacturers Record)

If Germany had waged it's war
without barbarism; if every soldier in
it's armies had been a decent man; if
there had been no outraging, no muir
der, no destruction of homes or Of
churches and cathedrals, Germany
would still deserve the utmost punish
ment that could be inflicted by civil
cation upon any country because of
this unholy war for its own material
advancement.
But the world has been engulfed by
awful woe; millions and millions have
died and other millions have been
manned for life; hundreds Of millions
have suffered in the agony Of seeing
their loved ones forced by Germany
into this awful war to save the world
from German domination and damna-
ton. Women and children have been
outraged, the chivalry of the high seas
has been supplanted by the foulest
campaign of Hell-deviced murder Of
innocent non-combatants that even the
devil himself, as expressed through
Germany, could devise; the very exist
ence of all civilization has been
threatened, and if Germany were to
succeed, the world would sink back
into the dark ages of atheism and
barbarism.
We are face to face with all these
terrific realities and all the fearful
possibilities the very thought Of which
staggers mankind.
And all of this has been brought
about wholly by this "Made-in-Ger-
many" war, started by Germany for
the sole purpose of forcing Germany's
domination and damnation over other
countries.
These are the facts which our peo-
pie should fully understand, and then
they will come slowly into a realiza-
ton of Germany's crime, surprising
all the crimes combined of all nations
from the very beginning of time. Then
they, will realize that this "Made-in-
Germany" war is indeed "Made-in-
He'll" and is a fight to the death.

CAPT. M'KAY'S DEATH REMOVES
LANDMARK

The death of Capt. Donald Mckay
veteran officer of the Confederate
army, veteran shipmaster of this Sec
ton of the coast and friend of hun
dreds of people in southern Florida
and our neighboring counties, re-
moves another andmark-another
pioneer who separates the romantic
Tampa of olden days from the pro-
gressive city of the present.
Born at Crystal River, Capt. Nc
Kay had spent practically his entire
life with Tampa as his home, and I'M
til few years ago was at all times
active in the interests of the city, sec
ton and state. His death brings sad
ness to many, and particularly to
those who lived in and loved the Tam
pa of yesterday" Tampa Times.

"WE HAVE GIVEN OURSELVES.
WHAT WILL YOU GIVE?" is THE
SOLDIERS QUESTION.
(By Richard H. Edmonds, Edito

| This question, carried on banner
lby Maryland troops parading some
months ago in the interest of the Lii
liberty Loan, comes home to every soul
when once more the nation is prepar-
; ing to call ON the country to over
subscribe another Liberty Loan. And
yet subscribers to the Liberty Loan
Bonds simply make an investment in
gilt-edge security, they give nothing,
and can give nothing, except it be
wholehearted, tireless support to Lii
berty Loan work, which should be CIV
en- with the enthusiasm of the soldier
when he goes over the top, risking his
life for the salvation of those of US
who are left behind.
| Millions of American boys and men
give up the comforts of home, the
pleasures and anticipations of life,
business and loved ones, and suffer in
the trenches, on the sea, and in the
I air, and offer their lives as a sacri-
flee on the altar of the nations life.
They have been called, through the
voice of the country, by God Himself,
to save this country from that fear
full barbarism which has made wreck
and ruin of millions in Belgium and
France and Italy and Serbia, and 9th
Yer lands, and which has caused the
battlefields of Europe to run red with
blood and the rivers and streams to
be chol1ed with human bodies. Our
loved ones have been called to save
civilization; to save Christianity, and

SUMMER WAR WORK FOR
 WOMEN TEACHERS

Mrs. Mary C. c. Bradford, president of the National Education Association and State superintendent of public in- struct;on in Colorado, has answered the question, How should women teachers pass their vacations, now that the country $ at war;" as fol- lows:
 T have been advocating in my own State what I think would be a good plan all over the Nation. Wherever the teacher is a resident of the school district she should act as the summer director of school and community war activities ill the district. The school house should be open one or two days each week, with teacher in charge. The Junior Red Cross, the war-savings associations, and such forms of nat ional service as may seem to be de- manded by the progress of the war should be attended to on these days. The summer might be good time for the organizing of the community coun- cils of defense, recently approved by In the inauguration of this work the teacher may become potent factor, and through this activity, will have a right to consider herself as actually

THE FIRST TANK
Who invented the tank?

Who invented the tank?
 Easy" you say. Tt was an Ameri- can invention adopted by, the British and then adopted by the Germans.
 Wrong you are thinking merely of the tractor machinery-the 'cater- pillar arrangement by which it crawls over the ground. And the tank is chiefly and essentially an armored ve- hicle for use in warfare.
 As every schoolboy knows, the an- cient Britons dyed themselves blue and used a war chariot with curved knives attached to the hubs. These were armed vehicles. But the first armored vehicle used in battle was invented and perfected about 1420 by John Zizka a Bohemian nobleman and follower of John Illus. Incidentally Johns tanks also humbled a Hohenzollern.
 You may never have heard of John Zizka, but he was undoubtedly the greatest military genius of his age and the father of modern tactics. Certain ly nothing could be more modern than his idea for the tank. Indeed he had some ideas. forgotten long ago, which might even be revived on the fields of France today
 Zizka was fighting the full power of Rome and, as it turned out, the whole of Europe joined crusade against

quently shared our parcels with them and great friendship sprang up be. tween us.
 After few months togethed we had no difficulty in understanding each other. In fact. one of the most inter. esting features of prison camp life was the remarkable way in which we became tolerably good linguists, con versing by signs and using sentences made up of English, French and Ger man words
 Whatever may be the real feelings of the enemy soldiers in action on the west front, the morale of German civ ilians is down to zero. Only an influx of food would tend to restore their con fidence and ambition.
 One wonders how much longer Ger man civilians will be able to stand the strain, but I do not believe there will be revolution. The people have nei- ther the courage nor the strength to overthrow their government

him. Zizka won. And the way he won was this:
 Zizka's Novel Idea.
 His fighting forces consisted almost entirely of townsmen, small farmers, and farm laborers used to the iron mounted fail, the heavy club, and the short spear. With these forces he had meet horsemen in heavy armor- the picked chivalry of Germany and Hungary. His answer was the arm- orcd wagon.
 The German name for tank is as long as a snake-about 10 separately articulated syllables spoken like a burst of shrapnel. Zizka's tank also had a hard name-in several senses. It was called the Hradba-vozova (pro- nounced as it is spelled), which means "wagon fort" The wagon fort was iron or steel clad and was drawn by horses. When the Bohemian tank corps was on the defensive, however. the wagons could be opened so that even the horses could find protection inside. Women and children, habitu- ated to travelling with the Bohemian Army, also gathered within and often sent their arrows through the loop holes.
 Used Artillery, Too
 Against an attack of horsemen the wagon forts were linked together by heavy iron chains, and in four-deep columns formed practically invulner- able defense On the offensive they were terrible engines, for they carried artillery. Zizka placed on the seats, next to the drivers, his picked marks men, who soon became the terror Of the Germans. Their pieces were the bombards then just coming into use. But the tank corps also carried few heavy guns-unweildly weapons which would be toys today, but which set up among the intrenchments of the iron wagons did great execution. When the wagon forts got to moving we'll across the smooth Bohemian fields Zizka used to direct his drivers on the end of the line to speed up, thus fantng the enemy-a maneou yer which was considered extremely unfair in these days.
 The Bohemian leaders greatest vic. tory was it Zizka's Hill. near Prague. He had 10000 troops arrayed on a steep slope and protected by wagon forts. Against him there were flung < bout 15G,C00 troops, led by a number of German princes, among whom the chief was Frederick of Hohenzollern,

THE SCREEN TELEGRAM

From opinions expressed in factor ies where I have worked, the average German outside the military clique would consider peace at any price a Todsend. He is not elated by the Cownsal of Russia. The much-vaunted eEcIt cn the west front does not in sp;re him He just hopes for the war to end
 T think the great strike at the be- g-nning of the present year was a gen. u.ne expression of the enemy workers d;scontent and dissatisfaction with the junkers
 Six months before the strike allied prisoners engaged in government fac tories were sounded by German work CTS as to their attitude in the event of general stoppage of work Need less to say we assured them that Vt. would be among the first to lay down tools.
 Only the prompt measures taken by the authorities prevented the strike frCn reaching proportions dangerous to the war lords.
 .The German militarists organized processions carrying banners on which appeared portraits of Father Hinder- burg and huge notices imploring the workers not to dessert their brothers on the west front.
 But perhaps the most effective method adopted to arrest the strike was the offer of large money rewards for the names of the ringleaders, and these were invar;a bly betrayed.
 swarmng with Reserves
 Allied prisoners knew of the migra- tion of the German troops from the east front long before the great offen- sive took place last March
 The whole country seemed to be swarming with reserves, and we fre- quently wondered whether the British authorities were aware of the coming concentration

 We'll, Elector Frederick just walked up that hill and then walked down again. Incidentally great numbers of Germans were either killed or driven into the Vltava River by the Bohem- ians, who hurried down the hill after them in their wagon forts. Then, as today, the tank, properly maneuvered proved irresistible.

CIVILIAN MORALE lfi GERMANY
 AT ZERO NOW

The following article was contribut- ed recently to Sunday Pictoral. a Lon don publication, by an escaped pris oner who was employed in Germany in farm and factory work. and only racentl? reached England after threc years captivity.
 Life in Germany today is at a very low ebb. This is no random expres- pessimists.
 q was taken prisoner as far back as February. 1915. and during the past three years l have seen things grad ually grow from bad to worse.
 When I first arrived in Germany there was abundance for nearly every one except the unhappy prisoners of war
 oday the only place in the enemy land where it is possible for anyone but a plutocrat to live within the linn its of human decency is on a farm
 The farmers are the best-off class in Germany. It is true that they are compelled to surrender a large percen- tage of their produce to the state, but they manage to hoard a good deal, risking the heavy penalty for so doing.
 .'Rich townspeople walk miles to the farms in order surreptiously to pur- chase two or three eggs at d each. or a little fresh butter.
 'As far as have been able to judge the average German working man suS- sists on weeds and potatoes.
 There are substitutes for the most commonplace necessities. Cloths and even surgical bandages are made of sort of reinforced paper
 Tobacco is unprocurable. For the sum of 5s I was able to purchase thru the prison guard about ? OF. of camou- fiage tobacco, consisting of some dry leaves, which, when smoked, tasted like peppermint.
 Tt is still possible, however, to pur- chase cigars and cigarettes, in a linn tied quantity, the latter costing from 21ad to 34d each.
 The German Strikes.
 Generally speaking, the German people are disappointed in the results of the war. It is impossible for them to reconcile the splendid victories, claimed by the military marty with their increasing hardships

 cone special observance that has been recommended in Colorado by a joint proclamation of the State super intendent of public instruction and the State director of war savings, Is a children's patriotic parade and pro- gram on the Fourth of July in each school district in the State, the climax of which shall be the purchase by the children of all thrift stamps and war savings certificates that their previ- ous self-denial has made possible. It has been recommended that no mon- ey be spent by children in the pur. chase of firecrackers, fireworks, or ether usual methods of celebrating the Fourth of July, and that the money thus saved be invested in these Gov ernment securities. The Fourth of July this year is to be called the -'New Gunpowder Day, and the idea impressed upon the children that, in stead of indulging in the use of gun powder in the usual way, all the money that they may earn or save will be made available for the purchase of gunpowder with which to destroy the Huns.
 The supervision of community war gardens offers another means for the expression of the patriotism of the teacher in war time.
 Tt seems almost needless, however, to indicate to the teachers any special plan of vacation war service. They are already enlisted in the service Of the nation. not only for the duration of the war. but for all time, in the mighty struggle to keep unimpaired the stainless, practical idealism that America is daily demonstrating to the world. The vacation time of the teacher. like all her other time, will be consecrated to the service of the chill dren.'
