A SUGGESTION FOR SPRING.

Spring is the season of the year
when Nature puts on her neatest
and cleanest garb 1t Is also the time
of the year when cities should do the
same thing.
In fact( spring cleaning in munich
palities should really begin in advance
o: spring, so that the town will look
its best by the time the trees are
bursting forth with verdure and the
lawns are radiant with fresh bios
SONS.
There are plenty of ideas in con-
nection with spring cleaning which it
is not untimely to suggest here, for
the consideration of all of the people
of Americas. For instance, The
imes-Recorder would like to see a
city-wide campaign, led by one Of the
ladies organizations embracing these
details:
DISCRIMINATING the mosquito by de-
stroying in advance the breeding
places. tE
Swatting the fly while the swatting
is good
Cleaning streets and alleys.
Cleaning Easements and cellars
Cutting down or digging up weeds
in vacant lots and gardens.
Making the front yards more slightly
by planting flowers or grass.
Repainting houses, garages, barns,
outbuildings and fences.
Starting a few more flower beds and
adjoining the porches with more flower
pots and boxes.
| Frightening UP, cleaning up and
painting UP generally.
If this campaign is conducted gem
/ orally, with fervor and intelligent eff
fort, Americas will be the prettiest
city in the south in every respect. At
least, let it be done before May first.
/ This is a uggestion-now let steps
be taken toward concerted action.

A FAILURE.

U-bpat depredations for the last
couple of weeks have dropped to about
one-third of their average for recent
months. At the same time it is an
nounced that our transfer of Ameri-
can troops to France is proceeding
three times as rapidly as before.
The two facts may not have any
thing to do with each other. 1t NAV
even be true that the lessened destruc-
ton of merchant ships is due to mobil-
i2ation of German submarines for a
concerted drive against our army
transports, and that they may actual
ly succeed in sinking a transport or
two at any time despite our navys ut
most precautions.
But such disaster, if it comes, will
be casual, not interfering with the
general trend of events The big, out
standing fact is that in spite of all
that Germany has ben able to do in
more than a year of utter ruthless
ness or lawlessness, we are able to get
our men and supplies across the sea
almost at will, and shall continue tc
do so with an Increasing margin OF
safety
We are doing what the Prussian gov
eminent considered impossible wher
it forced us into the confict-carry
ing the war to Europe on a scale com
mensurate with the size of the task
fighting already in force to stop tn,
German drive and preparing calml,
to face the battered Huns with a grea
fresh. perfectly equipped army whel
/ they have done their worst.
Thus, whatever sporadic successes
the U-boat may have now or here
after, it is set down once for all as
demonstrated failure.

IRELAND'S OPPORTUNITY.

Ireland is now to have self-govern-
nent-if she will stand conscription.
1t is a bitter condition, but a just one.
The sincerity and intelligence of Irish
Home Rulers everywhere may be test
ed by their agreement to this princi-
pie.
1t is no exaggeration to say that the
English, Scotch and Welsh are fight
ing today for Treland's freedom no
less than their own. If they go down,
Ireland goes down with them. And
no Irishman whose hereditary hatred
of England does not obscure his udg-
ment could imagine that Prussial
rule in Dublin would be of any differ
ent brand from Prussian rule in London
What that would mean is exemplified
today in every conquered province
over which the Kaiser has raised his
pirate flag.
Irish individualism, Irish tempera-
ment, Irish idealism, is indeed the
very antithesis of all that Germany
stands for And disagreeable as it
may be for many Irishmen to admita
Treland's hopes today rise or sink with
the success or failure Of the land she
has so long been linked with.
Ireland can never be free till she
has home rule. Neither can she be
free till Prussianism is defeated. To
be free, she must help with that task
Irishmen individually have already
been helping by hundreds of thou
sands, but the Irish nation as a whole
has not It is time for Ireland to face
facts and do her duty. And she need
hope no longer for American sympathy
if she shirks the duty or lets the great
opportunity pass away in further futile
pickering.

miIitarism we are fighting. But their
ignorance or stupidity furnishes no ex-
cuse for their arrogance. They're
perfectly capable of learning that their
speech and manners are Objectionable
tC all loyal Americans
Pro-German utterances of the most
harmless kind-if anything pro-Ger-
man can be harmless-must not be
permitted They stir up bitterness,
and keep the truth from sinking home
to the minds of otherwise sensible peo-
pie who might in time become gem
timely loyal American citizens.
It's no time to spare the feelings
of these pro-German takers. They
must be told plainly that they cannot
talk down Americanism in American
homes, American street cars or thea
tres or public places of any kind. If
they still cherish the mistaken idea
that Germany today is an essentially
good and well-meaning country, let
them keep that thought to themselves.
We not only don't want to hear it,
but we must not let them utter it.
If they have not wit enough to
realize what American freedom has
meant and will mean to them, or cour-
tesy enough to avoid giving oflense,
they should learn that Americans have
no use for their friendship or services
in the community.

SILENCE PRO.GERMAN TALK.

Backed by drastic laws and public
approval, government authorities are
to deal with German spies from nov
on in a more satisfactory manner If
the signs of the time read true. And
as the pressure of the law is brought
to bear on the paid agents of Berlin,
SO the pressure of public approval
should fall upon all in this country
who, though not engaged in any plots
against the government, still are talk
ing propaganda that is decidedly un-
American.
True, many of the pro-German talk
ers today are ignorant people who
aren't capable of thinking in any but
Teutonic way They've got the
habit Of calling their former country
all-powerful and its rulers all-wise,
forgetting that they or their parents
left that country to escape the very

DOLLAR SILVER.

Silver at last has come into it's own
again. The goal of dollar silver
has been reached. The government
has fixed the price at 81 an ounce, and
because of this country's predomi-
nance in silver production it expects
to stabilize the value at that level.
So lately as 1915 the market value
of pure silver was only 40 cents m
ounce. IN 1916 the government
bought all it wanted for Il cents an
ounce.
Nobody should jump to the conclus-
ion that a silver dollar is now 100
cents in intrinsic value The treasury
department is planning to melt up a
lot of "cart wheels" into bullion, TO
use in settling trade balances with
countries that are on silver basis.
But any private citizen who tries that
will not only find himself in trouble
with Uncle Sam, but will suffer an
actual loss. The dollar is only nine
tenths silver, the rest being copper,
and its bullion value is now only IT.

twice what it was three years ago.

FINAL FIGURES OF
THE SUGAR surrey

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25-There
were about / 500, 900, 900 pounds Of
commercial sugar stocks on hand Au-
gust 81, 1871. compared to 1000, ,OOO,-
1000 pounds on the same date in 1916,
according to the first War Elmer
gency Food Survey, figures for which
are issued by the United States De
|partmcnt of Agriculture. Large de
creases were reported by mills and
reffneries and by storage warehouses,
although stocks in the hands Of whole
sale groceries and all large users of
sugar showed increases in 1917.
Increased Per Capita Consumption
The returns indicate that the am
cunt of sugar consumed i'm 1917 was
about SS3 pounds per capita, where
as the average annual consumption
for the five-year period ending in
1916 was S4.T pounds per capita. The
Ievident increase in consumption, says
the department, is due in part to the
Increased manufacture for export Of
commodities like condensed milk,
land to an increase i'm population,
coupled with an increased consump-
/ ton by individuals and to an increase
1 in consumers stocks.
Where Sugar Was Held.
I OF the total stocks of sugar report
ed, more than 53S million pounds or
I4l per cent was held by sugar and
sirup mills ana refineries. Wholesale
erocers held about 2S5 million pounds
or 1913 per cent, and storage ware-
Iushoes about 2G7 million pounds, or
|l5.S per cent. Retail dealers came
next with about 134 million pounds,
or lO.4 per cent of the total
New York reported the largest
stocks, about 323 million pounds, fol-
lowed in order by California and Loui-
siana,. both of which held over 100
million pounds. Details of the sugar
survey may he found in Circular 90.
