PAN-CERMANY MUST BE
CRUSHED
Moral: Grow a bee.

"Pan-Germany will be fact under
any peace that does not overthrow
Pussia or destroy it's power to shape
the destinies Of many millions of peo-
pie beyond it's own political frontiers, -
says The Chicago Post. This will be
true under whatever form Of camou-
fage Germany may consent to the re-
constitution of the occupied Russian
and Balkan states. It is not merely
the presence Of the Prussian armies in
France, Belgium, Poland, Serbia and
Roumania that demands continued
warfare. It is the yoke Of Prussia as
an arrogant, ruthlessly ambitious mill
tary autocracy. There lies tbs root
from which the evil sprang. Lop off
whatever branches you please, if you
leave the root the evil must be fought
again. Pan-Germanism is a bigger,
more insidious peril than its guns and
bayonets. These are merely the bru-
tai tools in it's hands"

GERMAN IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS

The board of education has wisely
decided to exclude not only German,
but all foreign languages FROM the
elementary schools. German will
hereafter be taught in the high schools
along with French. This is proper, for
the war has in no way diminished the
6esirability of learning German. 1t
is one of the great languages and will
so continue. 1t will be as useful after
the war as it was before the war, in
spite of the agitation against it. We
may be sure that the Germans are not
silly enough to abolish the teaching of
English, and we should not be silly
enough to abolish the teaching of Ger
man.
But the teaching of foreign Ian
guages in the elementary schools is
another matter. New York is a great
polygot city. Most of the children in
those schools are the descendants of

GERMANY'S SOLE HOPE

The kaiser cannot win. His gov
eminent recently appropriated $780,
100000 to help rebuild the merchant
feet, which, in July, 1914, was second
only to England's. But, unless the
odium that now rests on the German
name is removed by an acceptable
peace he had better save his money.
There will be no market in North
America, South America, Asia and
Africa for the Lusitania brand Of Ger
man dyes, or the deported Belgians
electrical goods or the Edith Cavell
cutlery. A highly evolved industrial
country like Germany, dependent upon
foreign trade for it's prosperity, cannot
live in a world that hates it. The
blockade of Germany does not depend

ROOT OF GERMAN TROUBLE

President Wilson is going to the
root of the matter in asking the Ger
man people to assume larger meas
ure of control over the army, the navy
and the foreign policy of Germany.
The question if a more or less demo
cratic form of the constitution is pri-
declare, secondary. If the ruling class
can be made to yield control over the
German army, navy and foreign policy,
the foundation of the whole plan Of
European domination will be knocked
from under. An autocracy which can
not carry thugs with a high hand at
home cannot carry things with a high
hand abroad. It's overthrow would he

disposition on the part of the German
people. 1t would be a clear evidence

part to give increasing security to
Europe by winning increasing self

HAIR-SPLITTING BY A JUDGE

And now we have ex-Justice r. D.
Marshall coming to the defense of
Governor Philip and declaring the
governor has performed his duty, to
the best of his judgment, in not call
ing a special election to fill the United
States senatorial vacancy.
In a way we probably ought to feel
thankful to Justice Marshall for such
an illustration of hair-splitting as he
exhibited in his defense of the gov

has not heretofore been known IN Wis

OWN A BEE

Not only in Bara 700 but everywhere
there is agitation to increase the pro
duction of honey. Here is what a
Pennsylvania bulletin says:
almost every plant blossom that
grows contains honey which cannot
be extracted in commercial quantities
except by the bee For this reason
the campaign which the United States
Department of Agriculture has started
to increase the production of honey is
a real war-economy measure. It does
not call for the planting of new lands
or the overworking of old ones It
is a method to use a food-supply which
otherwise remains untouched. The
important thing is to create new bee
keepers. The Department experts have
confined their attention to persons
who are already keeping bees. Bee
keeping is a much easier matter than
is generally supposed. Any man who
goes about it carefully should be able
to produce a good crop of honey the
first year."

ENCKE'S COMET

Encke's comet is back again and can
be seen somewhere in the skies with
a good telescope, says the Ohio State
Journal It comes around every three
and one half years, and so is quite a
common visitor It's orbit is inside the
orbit of Jupiter. It shows a slight tail
sometimes, but ordinarily is only a
fuzzy star, hardly entitled to recOgni-
ton as a comet. Some discussion has
sprung up about it's period Of revolu-
ton. it being reported to have gained
two and one-haIf hours Oh it's return
to perihelion. This was ascTibed to
resisting element in space, which held
it back and would ultimately retire it
over bodily to the sun or maybe to
Jupiter ITSELF We hope not to earth.
But all these questions are unsettled
and the Encke affair continues to be
quite an enigma to the astronomers.
But so far as the popular esteem is
concerned, it is a very poor comet,
and seeing it even through a telescope
will hardly reach the proportion Of "a
romantic desire.

AMERICAS FOUR GREAT
DOCUMENTS

New York-The essential definition
of Americanism in politics is embraced
in four great historical documents Of
the United States, the last Of which
was President Wilson's "war message"
to congress on April 2, 1917, in the
opinion of Hartley B. Alexander, writ
ing in The New Republic. The first
important document, the writer shows,
was the declaration of independence,
signed July 4, 1875, which proclaimed
principles by which the United States
justified their independence Of Eu-
ropean domination; the second was
the message of President Monroe, de-
livered to congress on December 2,
1898, announcing Americas right to
pursue it's political destinies without
interference from old world powers;
the third was Linco1n's memorial ad-
dress at Gettysburg, November 49,,
1863, in which the rights Of Americans
to their own continents were affirmed
to be inalienably democraticaI, and
without democracy to be forfeited
President Wilson's message to con-
gress, the fourth historical document,
asserted the value of democratic pol
icy to the whole territorial world, and
the right to it of the entire human
race.

DID HE MEAN PINE TREES?

On the first day of this great war
the German Emperor, says Ambassa-

of his palace in Berlin and told the
crowds that were keen for war that
Before the leaves have fallen from
the trees you will be back in your
homes" So complete were the prep
arations for this war of conquest and

believe there could be any successful
resistance made to his plan. Some
one has suggested, however, that pos
sibly he meant pine trees.-FOrt At

In the Long Beach public library,
according to The Christian Science
Monitors western bureau, there have
been found numerous pamphlets,
newspaper clippings and other litera-
ture containing untruths, half truths
and wrong conclusions, calculated, it
is thought, to spread German propa-
ganda, create sympathy for Germany,
and encourage disloyaIty. Their dis
covery may be found in other Libraries
Of the country, and steps have been
taken to effect a survey of all Libraries
in the country in an effort to elimin-

SLOW PROCESS OF EVOLUTION

"The changes Of habits in any ma
ton come about by the slow process
of evolution and that applies to all
the occupations in which the people
engage" says the Omaha World
Herald. "The United States CONSUL
located at Teguicigalpa, Honduras,
tells how all efforts failed to get the
peasants of that country to use an
American ploy instead of a crooked
branch of tree pointed with iron
At last an American manufacturer
was persuaded to make a steel pillow
with only one handle, very much re-
sembling in appearance the old crook
ed stick with an iron point. The first
demonstration Of that pillow brought
universal approval A report was
made of it's work, in which the official
says that this pillow has given almost
incredible results and declared that:
Seeing the great advantage of this
pillow the neighbors have offered to
pay as much as 81 day silver equal
now to SO cents gold) for the use of
it. Large orders have been sent to
the United States for plows of that
kind. The evolution caused by the
adoption of that plow will not stop
there. After a while these peasants
will want the regular American pillow,
then disc harrows, moving machines
and harvesters, which heretofore they
have refused, in spite of all that Amer
lean agents could do to get such ma
chimes introduced into the country.
These peasants are not different from
the rest of mankind When railroads
were proposed they were universally
denounced as impracticable. Advance
ment is made by evolution That is
true in philosophy, in science and in
morals"

CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE

When one wakes up in the morning
he never knows what to expect. Times
were never SO abnormal, not only in
this land but in all others. The latest
edict in this country is the shutting
down of business over a great portion
of the United States to conserve fuel
which is needed in shipping, and to
give time to fill up the empty bins
Many believe this was largely due to
the government not fixing the price
early last spring. Had the informa-
ton been given as to what the con-
sumner was to pay many would have
filled their bins and now would not be
on the verge Of despair. The only
thing to do is to weather the storm,
follow the instructions of the govern
ment and save all the fuel possible.

no military power can batter down.
1t can be lifted only by a German ref
ormation of such sort that the re-
sources of the country shall never
again be at the arbitrary disposal of
the ponsible government which
trampled Belgium. Undoubtedly many
intelligent Germans know this. They
know that the country's industrial or
ganization is progressively disinte-
grating; that it can never be rebuilt
without the good will of the world.
They know that if German trade is
outlawed and boycotted throughout
the British empire, America and Asia,
precarious possession of some thou
sands of square miles of devastated
territory, whose inhabitants detest
their Prussion masters, will be a poor
offset. There is no way out for Ger
