The true story Of Prussianism and its
brutal aggressions Is told by the Ger

much boosted, is shown by its flag to
be but a footstool on which the king
of Prussia wipes his feet, for in its
center is the black eagle of Prussia,
crowned, and the black cross of Prus-

Prussia; a military autocracy holding
Bavaria, Wurttemberg, Saxony and all

A flag is a symbol, a sign, as the

digs his grave and covers him over in
his last bed. On the ground lie two
bits of wood. They are nothing but
bits Of wood, to be burned, or to be
left to decay. The dead mans COM

Of our flag are nothing; not until they
are assembled in the stars and stripes

An American soldier in France was
given n fork but no knife when he sat
down to dinner in a French restaur
ant. He held up the fork and
"Camerade, camerade," he said.
"Ah, oul, Oui," said the waitress,
dashing off to the kitchen, to return
with another fork.
Here was a poser for the soldier. He
spent a moment in deep thought, then
beckoned to the waitress. With the

From the beginning of the war to
June 30, 1913, the last day Of the past
fiscal year, contracts were placed by
the Ordnance Department Of the Unit
ed States totalling $4,000, 600, 900. The
estimate for the current year is over
81 GOO, 100000. The major items of
last year were as follows:
ARTILLERY, $105O,0O0,OG0; automatic
rifles, 100000, 600; small arms, $780,.
100000; artillery ammunition, $780,

tion), 100000; armored motor
cars, $1O0, 100000.
Some other expenditures by the

field stores, $2,7OO,OOO for carpenter,
and $224,000 for blacksmith tools,
81, 500, 900 for shovels.

CONSCIENCE PERVERTED.

When the preachers and church members in
Germany rejoice over the sinking of the Lusi-
tania and the dabolical outrages of the Huns,
it's sure sign that there something wrong
with their consciences.
We've wondered why so-caed Christian men
have gloated over the destruction of Red Cross
hospitals and ships containing wounded soldiers
and their nurses.
It's no worse to be "connscienceless' than it
is to have a conscience wrongly traned-so far
as practical results are concerned.
The conscience is a safe moral guide only
when it has been morally developed.
The mother who throws her child into the
alligator-infested River Ganges in India-in
order to please and worship God, although
knowing that her child will be eaten up, may
have conscience" but it hasn't been given
the right bent.
There is no natural inner influence in man
which is an nfallible guide in his moral con-
duct. Goodness and virtue are matters of train
ng and conquest of ones self.
The German preachers and church members
nave been too long under the influence of a
false philosophy of life to see straight in this
present war. They have been taught that the
kaiser is the "All highest"-which is rotten
theology, to say nothing about bad politics.
The kaiser is responsible for the terribly per-
yerted consciences of the German people, 1t
will require generation after the war-to set
the Germans straight on matters of common
morality and justice, and to knock out of them
The perfectly silly notion that they are "super-
men,"
This means in substance, that Germany will
have to develop a new conscience.

HELPFUL HINTS
FOR SAVING COAL
MUCH FUEL CAN BE CONSERVED
IF you AND NEiGHBORS PRO-
FIT BY THESE SUGGESTIONS
(By The Associated Press.)

(By The Associated Press.)
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 14-.Var-
ious ways to save coal and still keep
warm are pointed out by the General
Committee of the Anthracite Coal
Operators in series of suggestions
given out here on conservation of The
fuel during the coming winter months.
Briefly they are:
Start furnaces and kitchen range
fires as late as possible. Forget the
fast few cool Fall days.
Raise window curtains during the
day to admit sunlight, for that is free
neat. dispense with awnings as they
shut AZ the sun.
Membership all doors and windows
and put asbestos around a., F.srnaces,
boilers and cellar pipes USED for
heating purposes
Reduce the home temperature to
81 degrees. Do not wait until the
mercury shows "a degrees before
Closing drafts. BY this time that ex-
ira amount of coal will have been
consumed and wasted according to
all economic rules.
Bedrooms, where windows are open
ed for the night or otherwise, should
be shut off from heat. Use blankets
and feel better in the morning.
Wear heavier clothing. This ma
terially saves body heat.
Thoroughly clean SCOT from pipes
and boilers and do not mind doing
little work in the cellar seeing that
window panes are tight and weather
stripped bike the other parts of the
house.
Burn oil, wood, coax and bitumin
Gus when possible. Use gas for cook
! ing and heating. Gas lighting at
night aids in heating the home, stores
and buildings where used
Use heavy draperies ON doors and
windows for interior home decora
ton. This aids in outstanding in
terror heat supply.

A LESSON IN sELF-GovERNMENT.

War is teaching our people to understand
themselves. 1t is developing numerous practical
demonstrations Of democratic self-government.
Most of the food-saving was brought about
by appeals to the people to govern themselves.
Meatless and wheatless days were enforced by
voluntary self-restraint
All Hoover had to do was to make plain what
was necessary for the people to do-and they
did it.
The latest demonstration of self-government
was the appeal of the fuel administration for
gasoline saving by the owners of gas-drven
Fehices.
With but few exceptions auto owners kept
their cars out of commission. The exceptional
Few who ignored the appeal thought they were
safe from policemen, but forgot to take into &C
count the effective police power of public
opinion
Those who ventured forth on pleasure rides
were made uncomfortable by the stony stare
Of disapproval directed at them from the side
walk by the sedate adults, but were actually
shan1ed and driven from the city streets by the
conten1ptuous boots and cries of Stacker that
came from boys who are brutally frank in Civ
ing expression to their emotion.
The violators of the governments appeal Of
Tended the public sense of patriotism and de-
cency. Frankly expressed disapproval was as
effective as a policemans authority 1t was too
much Those who braved public opinion will
probably not try it again.
No governmental order will be needed No
law is necessary. Though the offense be not
lawful, it is immoral. The people won't stand
for it. They know the reason for gasoline
saving.
Such experiments in democracy are helpful

THE WHITE HOUSE FLOCK

There is something strikinEly pathet.
ic in the announcement that President
Wilson has decided 10 introduce a
flock OF sheep to the rich grasses OF
the White House lawn. This is CON
seryation in the high places. indeed.
We want wool, and sheep give wool.
hence the White House contribution TO
our imperative necessities. And this
incident suggests the inquiry. why
haven't we enough wool for our needs.
and what has caused the decrease in
the sheepfolds of the country? The
greatest factor. that contributed to the
decline OF the sheep industry of the
United States was the false economic
policy Of the Democratic party, 1t
can't be denied. because it has been
proved. And now we have the pitiable
spectacle Of the leader Of that party
assembling little flock on a back lot
to recoup in a measure something the
Democracy helped to destroy.
Under the protective tariff Of the
Republican party sheep husbandry
proSpered. Under the free trade poll
cy OF the Democrats it was stricken
down. Many blame the decline Of the
sheep industry on dogs, which has. it
is true, been one OF the discouraging
features. but the biggest dog in the
pack has been thn Democratic tariff
in 1900. under Republican rule. We had
in the United States so sheep per
capita. In 1917, under Democratic
rule. the figure had dropped to .46 per
capita. nearly half. But there Is a
still clearer revelation in the record.
In 1890. just before the disastrous pc
Rod Of the Wilson-Gorman tariff. we
produced 40 pounds OF wool per
capita In 1917. the country reverting
again TO a dominant Democracy, we
produced only 2.72 pounds per capita
And We are reduced to such extrcmi,
ties that the Democratic President
! himself must needs take up the shep-
herds staff. God bless the White
House flock. and Amen,
