FRIENDS OF ENEMY
IMPRISONED in A

Rome, Jan. Touring the last
fortnight anti-war propaganda in
Italy has been depressed with un-
precedented energy. In different
parts Of Italy people who extolled
n power of the enemy in public have
been denounced to the police, COM
mitted for trial and sentenced to
terms Of imprisonment and fines for
attempting to demoralize the spirit Of
the people and weaken the resistance
of the country.
Three members Of parliament, two
Of them Socialists, who spread false
reports about the good treatment of
non-combatants in the invaded re-
gions probably will be tried for anti
war propaganda. Several enemy resi-
dents have been arrested. One of
them was the manager of the electric
plant at Genoa, an industrial concern
Of German origin, who was a reservist
in the German army and remained
unmolested in Italy.
The energy displayed by the police
in REFRESHING anti-war propaganda
and espionage IL continued will lead
to sensational developments, as it i.
well known that the activity of enemy
Fagents in this country has been ex-
ceptional and the Germans themselves
admitted that they have more friends
in Italy than in any other allied
country.

friends OF German
Democracy Support
Presidents Speech

New York, Jan. 19.-The national
executive committee Of the Friends of
German Democracy. Of which Franz
Slgel Is chairman, has issued an APP
peal to all men and women. OF Ger
man extraction in the United States,
urging them "by every means in
the side Of democracy~tn the war.
This war;" the appeal states, lis
not a war on the part Of America
against the German people. It is
rather a war against an antiquated
system OF government that unhap-
PLY dominates the German people to
their own and the worlds undo,ng.
Again and again President Wilson
has distinguished between the Ger
man people and their rulers. In en-
phasixing this fundamental point the
president has performed a service to
Germany and the whole world. This
distinction cannot be too highly re-
garded or too much emphasized,
both by the advocates Of democracy
in Germany and by the friends Of
democracy in America.
President Wilson. has likewise
very clearly pointed out that the war
must &C on until the triumph of
democracy is complete. This mat
ter is no longer debatable. All
American citizens Of German birth
or descent must now realize that
they are face to face with a known
fact and not with an open question,
America and the allies are going to
win this war against the emperor and
the ruling classes of Germany.
During the last seventy a over
100000 Germans have come to
America. The first great German
immigration, following the German
revolution. Of ~1S4s-49, sprang from
the desire of freedom-loving men
and women to take up citizenship in
a country where political freedom
was established. More recently
there have come to us millions Of
Germans who have sought both free
dom and an opportunity to make q
! better living here than was possible in
I the fatherland.
I'VE now find that the principles
for which many of our immediate
ancestors or we ourselves suffered
exile are threatened by the very
powers which forced 30 man Of US
out Of Germany. In this crisis our
sense of duty and Of honor will per-
NIT OF but one course Of action. We
must rally with our /fellow-Ameri-
cans against the tyranny which has
SO long cursed the country Of our
fathers, and wbichs now rises as a
dangerous threat against the liberty
of the whole world.

racy urge all American men and

AMERICAN RED CROSS
OFFICIAL POSITION
DEFINED BY WILSON

Members of the Council Of National
Defense at Washington recently is.
sued to their state organizations a
bulletin defining the official position
of the American Red Cross in rela-
ton to the state and national coun-
ellis of defence and expressed the hope
that the bulletins could be placed in
the hands Of all members of the Red
Cross chapters.
The bulletin states: The official
position of the American Red Cross
has been defined by the president Of
the United States as follows:
Battlefield relief will be effected
through Red Cross agencies operating
under the supervision of the war de-
partment but civilian relief will pre-
sent q field of increasing opportunity
in which the Red Cross organization
is especially adapted to serve, and I
am hopeful that our people will real
iZe that there is probably no other
agency with which they can associate
themselves which can respond so eff
fective!y and universally to allay suf-
fering and relieve disaster
The American Red Cross is organ.
lied under act of congress. Its pres
id>rt is the president of the United
States. It's charter requires hat one:
third Of the members Of the govern
ing bOaFG Shal be appointed by the
president. and that there shall be one
representative Of the war, navy, state,
treasury and justice departments. The
entire war council of the United States
is appointed by the president of the
United States. Congress. by its char
ter. directed that it should act in mat
ters of relief in accord with the milf
tary and naval authorities Of the Unit
ed States n as 4 medium of COM
nunication between the people of the
United States and their army and
navy. The charter of the Red Cross
provides hat its accounts shall be
audited annually by the war depart
ment.
Therefore it is unnecessary for
your council of defense. to call upon
the Red Cross to report as to organ
ization, audit and accounts. The
name of the Red Cross should withou,
further preliminaries appear at the
head of n list of approved organi.
cations published by. YOU council. Au.
thorization should not be granted t.
solicit funds for or otherwise tc
benefit" the Red Cross unless the re.
quest for. such authorization has the
endorsement of the Red Cross. The
presumption should be strongl,
against authorizing any unofficia
groups or organizations to function IL

The directions given for knitting by
headquarters are only general in
their nature, and if the yarn receiv-

the yarn varies in weight with al

for the k%nitters- to use their own
judgment in making the various
knitted articles. For illustration,

The Milford Chronicle insists that
the farmers of Delaware must awaken
to the fact that the old systems for
farming have got to pass, and that
means to save labor of both animal
and man shall be the first object of
every farmer who hopes to get any
profit from farming. This thought is
commented upon by the Philadelphia
Press of recent issue. as follows
"Our stocks of horses have been
depleted by the demands of war. The
supply of labor has been made insult
ficient by the same cause in almost
every field of industry. The farmers
feel both these shortages more than
any other class. England has had
the same experience in an even severer
form. and she has found relief in the
greatly increased manufacture and use
of steam tractors. Farmers are rather
slow to make changes, but in this
country, because farm labor has
generally been scarce, the farmers
have been quick to adopt labor saving
machines. The sickle and the scythe
gave way to the reaper and the mower
as soon as these appeared, while the
use of the once familiar fail IS un-
known in these days of the steam
thresher. The farmers, particularly in
the West, make free use of the auto
mobile. 1t is but step further to
the sTeam tractor. which will do the
work of several teams and requires
the employment OF fewer men. This
is appreciated by the farmers, and a
new demand for farm tractors is the
result. The manufacture is checked
by the difficulty Of getting sufficient
steel. This should be remedied.
The Government should wake up to
this special situation. which seems to
have escaped its attention. For unless
it takes the matter in hand and grants
priority to steel for the manufacture
of tractors, the American farmer can
not do his part as he should in sus-
tanning the country in this period of
exhaustIng war.

Government plans for a billion
bushel wheat crop next year to help
the United States feed its Allies have
received setback. 1t was disclosed
by the December crop report of the
Department of Agriculture, that while
winter wheat was planted on the lsrg
est acreage ever sown to that cereal,
its condition on December l was the
lowest on record for that date. A
winter crop of $40, 900. 900 bushels
was forecast by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates. The actual production will
be greater or less than that quantity
according as conditions hereafter are
better or worse than the average.
Through a great spring crop it still
is hoped to bring the years total to
somewhere near the billion mark.
An area of more than 47,0OO, 900
acres was the mark set by the govern
ment for farmers to plant to winter
wheat this fall, but the December can
vass shows that AZ, 10, 900 acres
were sown. The farmers did their
best, Department of Agriculture Off
cials say. but conditions were against
them. The very dry weather in most
of the winter wheat belt was large
drawback, while late harvest of othel
crops and shortage of farm help wer'
