To Expose Imperialist
Hand Behind "Day"
BY MAX sHAcHTMAN

The American Communists
are the only ones today engaged
in militant opposition to the
Mobilization Day maneuvers
which are to take place today
under the official guidance of
the War Department of the
United States.
The Workers Party of Amer
lea and the Young Workers
League, in a statement de-
nouncing the day" are calling
upon the workers of America to
refuse to have anything to do
with capitalist mobilization days
but to join, instead, in the
mobilization of the workers to
carry on the struggle against
their exploiters.
Backed BY Mlitarists.
For months the militarists of Am
erica have been engaged in feverish
activity to push the plan for Mobiliza-
ton Day. An auxiliary committe, to
aid the War Department in the dem
onstrations, has been formed, COM
posed of such lingo capitalist organ
izations as the Daughters of the Am
erican Revolution, veterans of various
imperialist wars, the American Legion,

In New York State.
From the Savannah News.

Two things may be set down as certain
One is that the New York democratic ma
chine much prefers state victory to ma
tional victory The other is that if necessary
to win a state victory it will sacrifice the
electoral votes OF New York in the national
campaign Now it remains that if the demo-
Gratis see that a state victory will not need
this sacrifice, that it can be won easily any
how, Mr. Davis will have better chance to
win New York than otherwise he would
have Young Col. Roosevelt perhaps does
not expect to win the governorship; he has
hopes of that but the chances are that his
outlook is for another appointlve job IN the
event of Mr. Coodge's eection-he will de-
serve something for having acted as the re-
publican sacrifice in New York He is going
I'D against a harder fight than his father ever
had in politics except the fight OF the pro-
gressive party against the late Mr.. Wilson; his
opponent is man who has not only per-
sonaity that is pleasing to the public, but
who also has made good in his job-the job
he seeks. The democrats in New York Will
fight for Smith; maybe they are not so much
interested in Mr.. Davis They do want the
patronage that lies in the gilt OF the state OF
New York, and they are gong to nave II:
They will take no chances on losing 1t. IL
the republicans threaten to take 1t from them
there will be trading. A weak race tor the
governOrship on the part OF the republicans
NAV mean the loss of the state to MIR. Davis
as well as to Smith; but strong race against
Smith would likely cost Davis the electoral
vote in New York 1t remains to be seen
what Young Roosevelt can do to work up
opposition; he hasn't done anything yet, and
his career does not indicate that he can be
expected to do much.

No Mistaking the Season.

II the rustling OF the dried blades OF corn
and of leaves on the trees fail to indicate to
the Indifferent observer that autumn has
come. or if the chill OF dawn and twilight
makes no impression, there still other de
velopments that should suggest to anyone
that this is a different season. For one thing,
football scores have already appeared in the
news OF the day That ought to mean at
least that fall is here and that Thanksgiving
is not far away.
Football scores and the world series games
of the big leagues feature the news in a way
that provokes- complaint from political lead
ers. Nobody cares much about campaigns Tor
public office-except those who want the
obs-at such a season.
There is no mistaking the season. Ii Riley
were alive he might suggest that autumn
was here because the frost was on the pump
kin and the fodder was in the shock, but the
interest in football and the world series prob
ably convey the idea somewhat better, even
if in a manner less poetic. Getting IN the
winters supply OF coal does not begin to be
as impressive as what Is going on IN the
athletic world. The harvest, too, fails to
produce a quicker interest than does the
sport to which the whole country now turns
its attention Once a year it happens like
this and for millions OF sport loving citizens
if is the season of seasons with all the rest
as mere stepping stones of approach. On with
the games, and may the best men win. The
presidential campaign and election can take

Odors as Weevil Traps.
From the Macon News.

We all know that odors play an important
part in the life of the insect world. Grant Al
Ian regarded it as probable that insects OF the
higher social instincts, such as ants prob
ably communicated with one another IN a
kind OF language made up OF certain doors
emitted somewhat in the fashion that sound
or light is used for conveying the Morse al
phabet.
A deeper knowledge of the fondness OF
the boil weevil may now set us on the track
of working his overthrow at last The Mont
gomery Advertiser says:
"A copyrighted dispatch from Tallulah.
La. where the United States Department OF
Agriculture maintains a noted experiment
station and laboratory equipment, reports
that chemists believe they are at last on a
trail that will lead to the undoing OF the boil
weevi.
For several years these chemists have
been studying the cotton plant with view
to iso1ating the particular odor which at
tracts the weevil. They think they have found
the secret, but they are not yet sure enough
to make a claim Experiments will continue
for another year or so.
"Tf the attracting odor can be isolated it
IS believed that the method OF attack upon
the weevil will be simple and easy. 1t should
not be difficult to bait traps and lure the
pest to his destruction
The men who have achieved this result,
saws the dispatch ARE not letting their hopes
run too high. But they are rejoicing in the
fact that they have made step forward
IF the boil weevil is blessing in disguise
the discovery of method OF Graduating HIM
from the cotton fields OF the south would
be a blessing undisguised.'
The warning not to attach too much I'M
portance to the experiments now going on
is entirely timely, OF course. The same might
be said OF any other experiments on which
high hopes might be based only to result
in final disappointment.
Intrinsically, however, there is no reason
why the experiments in question should not
be successful That an insect could be lured
to his destruction by certain odors is feasi-
Bile enough on the very face OF it. Whether
it could be done on scale large enough to
be OF economic value is another question, but
future developments will at least be watched
with interest

French Ingratitude.

The Hurley plan for the payment OF the
French debt to the United States seems to
have aroused the press OF that republic to a
new fury of attack on America. Most OF the
Paris newspapers resent the suggestion that
the debt be paid in full Others take the atti-
tude that it should not be paid at all A Jew
defend the American position, and recall to
their readers the terrible days OF March, 1918,
asking whether the French would have hest
tated then between choice of the Prussian
heel or the American obligation.
La Liberte was especially unkind That
publication characterizes Uncle Sam as
Shylock The San Fills replied to La Liberte S
attack by the suggestion that when the
French needed American help OF men and
gold there was no question as to where the
obligation should fall The Sans Fills, in re-
calling that NJ. Clemenceau, then premier
accepted both, asked: WAS it too dear tc
paw for the liberty, honor and glory OF
France? We collected, and we must pay.
America has not been harsh or unkind to
France. The harshness and unkindness has
been from the OTHER side. Incidents OF the
kind recently furnished by the French press
go far to disturb American trust in the
French character If the French never paid
America would not worry as much over the

you purchase it is not cheap if you can grow
it Yourself Raise your own corn, oats, wheat
