POISON PRussIANIsM.
A Brilliant Address By Otto H. Kahn
 Delivered at Milwaukee.


 Tn an address last month at Milwa11- kee, Wisconsin, Otto H. Kahn. New York banker, called in ringing tones upon his fellow Americans of German birth to fight for America in the cause of liberty against Prussianism.
 Quoting this poem addressed to Ger many.
 Oh, land of now, oh, land of then,
 Dear God, the dreams, the dreams of
 men
 Ens'aved, immersed in greed and
 hate,
 Where are the things which made
 you great P
 MT. Kahn declared that the things which have made Germany great were not dead and could never die, but. for the time being. they had passed out of the keeping of the mass of the Ger man people and into the keeping of that minority of the Germans iron? whose eyes the scales have begun to fall. Above all they are in the hands of the ten or fifteen millions of Ameri cans of German decent many of whose ancestors were in arms in 1848 against EfuSsian oppression and for truth and freedom
 Mr. Kahns address has just beer published in a neat little pamphlet entitled The Poison Growth of Prus- sianism and it should be circulated by the million in this country. We abstract below certNin para graphs, but every person should pro cure copies of the pamphlet as well as copy of Mir.

Y. M. c. A. TO ESTABLISH
 HUTs FOR WAR WORKERS
To Preserve Morale and Provide Social
 Opportunities.

New York. Mar. l0.-A nationwide plan to preserve the morale of work CTS in war industries by providing them the same social opportunities afforded American soldiers here and in France was announced tonight at the inter national headquarters of the Young Mems Christian Association.
 According to this plan. Y. M c. A. hrts will be established within six months near most of the munitions plants and ship yards of the east and it expected that before the end of the year huts will spring up over the en- e 4. will offer to put trained secre- tsries in every large industrial plant.
 The plan, it was stated, was com rleted at conferences held here under the auspices of the Committee on Work in War Industries of the War Work Council The department of labor was represented at the. meetings, attended also by labor leaders, eTn- blowers. and social workers.
 At these conferences, it was said the need was recognized of offsetting ab- normal conditions produced in indus try by the war. It was asserted that night work had increased, that fire oaently unsanitary work rooms have been inflicted upon the workers owing to the urgent demand for floor space and that there was lack of suitable lodgings" It was explained that, al- Though wages had been raised.

equal to twice its own weight. A

ENGLISH PACIFISTS ARE

LONDON.-(By Exami-
nation OF the books Of certain pa

cifst newspapers which are known
to be losing propositions has been
demanded, following publication Of
a statement that $4,000 Of German
money recently has been sent 70
this country TO support the peace
by negotiation propaganda.
The Daily Mail opened the attack
with the charge regarding this
fund. The Sketch has followed with
a quotation from a political leader
charging that as much as a million
dollars similar money has passed
through the hands OF certain inter
national bankers One pacifst news
paper, it is charged, has lost as
much as 100000, only part of
which has been made up by British
supporters.
A striking example Of the use of
this pacifst money occurred recent

A man being asked which of his

In this covert classification Of the
bird with the cat, may be found an
other proof Of the absurdly low
value which mankind seems dis
posed TO place upon bird life.
With the household cat, when kept
within proper bounds, there need be
no quarrel, but 1t can be easily
shown that. as a beneficial agent in
counter balancing a force that tends
TO make human existence impossible
on this planet, the feathered crea-
ture so far outranks the one with
fur and claws. there is no compari-
son between them.
The cat, after all. is valuable TO
the human race only as it aids in
the destruction Of a single one Of
our innumerable small foes. For
this assistance, we are grateful, but
the killing of a million mice is no
compensation for the murderous
treachery displayed by the cat
