Uncle Sam now has a standard air- | plane motor, the result of co-opera- tion between the greatest inventors and manufacturers of the United States. Announcement of the final motor and its success | the Secretary of War. | Since the Wright Brothers demon- strated the practicability of the heavier-than-air-machine, after the experiments of the late Samuel P. Langley, world has awaited the perfection of an engine that embodied ! lightness of weight, sufficient power to command high speed, and durabil- ity enough to warrant long journeys in the etherial regions. These things are said to have been attained in the new motor devised especially for Un- cle Sam, and with which he hopes to overcome all nations of the world so far as supremacy in the air goes. In the perfection of the Liberty motor the best brains of the mechan- world brought together. Two Amerlcan experts were put In charge of the work. They had un- der them a ocorps of two hundred draftsmen. Thev were given the right of way in all American factories where parts of the engine might be made. The result as foretold: Uncle Sam now has a standard engine, one the parts of which may be build- ed various parts of and assembled at any was made by the ical were is in the country given point. Manufacturers from Connecticut to California have exerted their efforts in this enterprise With the eff working of the plan outlined at the War Department the building of a great number of Lib- erty motors should not take long.

TUDOR JENKS, in Book News. “Der Blatt” Ceases Blatting. (Meriden Record) Various kinds and sizes of “blatts” with ornamental handles to their names, have been preaching scdition and conspiracy. An example has been made of the Philadelphia “blatt’ and its editor and his underlings have been | arrested. It is to be hoped this is the begin- ning of the end of the foreign lan- guage vapers during the period of the war. For months these sheets have heen a° veritahie hotbed of treason. Under cover of a foreign language they have provided material for the enemies of this country who wished to stab it in the back. They have proved fine vehicles for the devilish Prussian propaganda which has seeped through into various channels. While ostensibly preaching surface patriotism in their English columns, they have by innuendo and direct challenge advocated ideas which were contrary to all laws of loyalty. The raid in Philadelphia has re- vealed a characteristic of the Prussian method which has now become so common as to make people expect it. The German ‘bund” wherever they are, appear to be so cock-sure of their superior qualities that they overstep the mark. For instance, the Philadel- phia “Blatt” was so sure that the loyal American public could be fooled all the time, that they felt perfectly safe in actually advertising in their col- umns the way, via Sweden, by which information could be sent to Germany. The United States has been patient to a fault. The country is now at war and the safety and welfare of the na- tion demands that efficiency methods be employed in rounding up the trai- tors. A good beginning was made in Philadelphia. ‘Value of the Big Crops. , (Wall Street Journal). Farmers will value the crops in dol- lars. By that standard of measure- ment thére has never been a harvest 50 valuable. Based on Chicago prices for December delivery the promised crops of corn, oats, barley, rye and wheat alone are worth more than’ $6,- 300,000,000 When the %alue of the cotton crop is considered with its seed, nearly $8,000.000,000 is in these crops alone. Never have the farmers seen so much money coming from the soil. What will they do with it? The question is one that affects the money market. Most of these crops have their heaviest movements from Octo- ber to the last of Jamuary. For this movement bankers must be prepared. 1f the farmers are not dazed by their remarkable crop returns, if they pay off obligations and refrain from con- tracting new obligations, they will pa- triotically assist the country. It was the large crops that once helped the country when we went to a single monetary standard. So too, at this time when huge war loans are forth- coming, a proper attitude on the part of the farmers will make the great crop movement self-liquidating, and provide resources for government financing for war needs.

Yet this course would be in- complete if it did not contain a brief review of the events that remained ‘‘no other means of defend- ing our rights.” The soldier of an autocratic Kaiser may fight best when he understands least of the truc meaning of the war. To tell him the facts would be chill his enthusiasm. But the citizen soldler of a democracy is entitled to know for what purposes he enters the struggle. He fights best when he sees most clearly why he fights. The resolution of Congress declar- ing a state of war (April 6, 1917) expresses the immediate cause in these few words: “The Imperial German Government has committed repeated acts of war aainst the Government and the peo- ple of the United States of America”. Chief among the acts of war were attacks by German submarines on American ships and on unarmed mer- chant ships of other nations carrying American passengers. ‘‘Vessels of every kind,” said the President in his address to Congress on April 2, 1917, “whatever their flag, their character, their cargo, their destination, errand, have been ruthlessly sent to the bottom without warning and with- out thought of help or mercy for those on board, the vessels of friendly neutrals along with those of belliger- ents. KEven hospital ships and ships carrying relief to the sorely hereaved and stricken people of Belginm, though the latter were provided with safe conduct through the prescribed areas by the German Government it- self and were distinguished by un- mistakable marks of identity, have been sunk with the same reckless Jack of compassion or of principle * = * The present German subma- rine warfare against commerce is a warfare against mankind.” German Insults and Aggressions. There were other acts of hostility in addition to the submarine warfare. In Wis Flag Day address delivered at Washington June 14, 1917, the Pres- jdent summed up the events that brought on war as follows: “It is plain enough how we were forced into the war. The extraordin- ary insults and aggressions of the Im- perial German Government left us no self-respecting choice but to take up arms in defense of our rights as sovereign Government. The military masters of Germany denied us the right to be neutral. They filled our unsuspecting communities with vici- to corrupt the opinion of our people in their own behalf. When they found that they could not do that, their agents diligetly spread sedition amongst us and sought to draw our own citizens from their allegiance— and some of those agents were men conpected with the official embassy of the German Government itself here in our Capital. They sought by violence to destroy our Industries and arrest our commerce. They tried to incite Mexico to take up arms hostile alllance with her: not by indirection, but by and that, suggestion »udently high, seas and repeatedly executed tkelr threat that they would send to tWeir death any of our pecple who Xentured to app:o'wh the coasts of Europe.” ©ur Liberty and Safet Yet oven this list of insults and aggressions” the whole story. .Our - motives for war go even deeper. Not only our rights and self-respect, but our lih- erty and safety, are involved. Speak- ing on July 29, 1917, at the officers training camp at Madison Barrac N. Y., the Secretary of State said: “The evil character of the German Government is laid bare before the world. We know now that that Gov- ernment is inspired with ambitions which menace human liberty, and that to‘sain its end it does not hesi- tate to break faith, to violate the most sacred rights, or to perpetrate intolerable acts of inhumanity * * *. Let us understand once for all that this is no war to establish an abstract principle of right. It is a war in which the future of the <nited States is at stake.” The record out of which grows our deep conviction that il is necessary at once to out a curb on so powerful and unscrupuplus an enemy is set forth in an official publication “How the War Came to America.” «Judging the German Government Tnvolved. ~ xtraordinary does not tell now in the light of our honest at- tempt to keep the peace, we could see the great autocracy and read her The Team Leaders. 15. : of our war with the German Govern- | finally forced us into wer, when at last there | to | | found that record damnable. their | | given no offense. + gium | Government’s a free people and of our honor as a ' ous spies and conspirators and sought | against us and to draw Japan into a | from the foreign office in Berlin.

And we .o With a fanatical faith in the destiny j of German kultur as the system that must rule the world, the Imperial Government’s actions have through years of boasting, double dealing, and deceit tended toward aggression upon the rights of others. And if there still be any doubt as to which nation began this war, there can be no un- certainty as to which one was most prepared, most exultant at the chance and ready instantly to march upon other nations—even those who had The wholesale dep- redations, hideous atrocitles in Bel- and in Serbia were doubtless part and parcel with the Imperial purpose to terrorize small nations into abject submission for generations to come. But in this autocracy has been blind. For its record in those countries, and in Po- land and in northern France, has given not only to the allies but to lib- eral peoples throughout the world the canviction that this menace to hu- man liberties must be utterly shorn of its power for harm. “For the evil it has effected has ranged far out of Europe—out upon the open seas, where its submarines in defiance of law and concepts of humanity have blown up neutral ves- sels and covered the waves with the dead and the dying, men and women and children alike. Its agents have conspired against the peace of neu- tral nations everywhere, sowing the seeds of dissension, ceaslessly endeav- oring by tortuous methods of deceit, of bribery ,false promises, and intim- idatlon, to stir up brother nations one against the other, in order that the liberal world might not he able to unite, in order that the autocracy might emerge from the war. “All this we know from our own experience with the Imperial Govern- ment. As they have dealt with Eu- rope, so have they dealth with us and with all mankind. And so. out of these years the conviction has grown that until the German Nation is di- vested of such, democracy can not be afes’” Not Hostlle to German People. One thought which you should keep always in mind is the clear dis- tinctlon between our attitude toward the Imperial German Government and our attitude toward the German people. The President sald in his speech of June 14, 1917: ‘“We are not the enemies of the German people and they are not our enemies. They did not originate or desire this hideous war or wish that and we are vaguely conscious that we are fighting their cause, as they will some | day see it, as well as our own.

Even Billy Sunday OCannot Imitate George Ade and “Get Away With It” (F. H. Young in Providence Journal). There is a style in writing, as in anything else a man may do, which places a distinctive label upon the performance and identifies it as the work of its producer. After you get to know a man well you can place him by the sound of his voice, by certain pecullarities of intonation or of vocabulary or even by his gait at a distance. There are marks of many kinds by which any man may be ‘*‘spotted” if one Is sensitive to the differentiations of individuality. What fools most of us in this re- spect many times is the natural ten- dency of human nature to take on the characteristics of environment. The individual tends all the time to be- come more or.less lost in “type,” and the more typical a man becomes the less does he show a distinctive per- sonality. This tendency is especially marked in writing. Men who have had the same training or who have long buen subject to the rules of the same institution incline to write some- wha’ in the same mould. And of course the human animay s naturally imitative, and when he is deliberately so the results are all the more confusing. There was an Eng- lish author some years ago who had a very poor épinion of Charles Dickens and demonstrated it with several clever travesties. He wrote a con- tinuation of ‘“Pickwick Papers” that he called “The Piokwick Club Abroad,” and astute critics declared that it was a decidedly better and more amusing work than the original. Nevertheless, Dickens’ work llived, while very few persons in these days ever heard of his talented imitator. Any capable writer can fool us in this respect if he sets out to do so. The other day we were reading a newspaper essay entitled: “Of to the Countryside and Give Your Think Tank a Rest.”” These were the open- ing paragraphs: “Whenever I hear a City Slicker exit a Hoot at a Guy from the Rural Districts and Plaster him with the Title of Hick, it gives me an Inward Grin. “For I am a Hick at Heart, and T know that, from a Good Many Angles, the Boy from the Backwoods has it on the Aleck from the Atlantic Sea- board forty Ways from the Ace. And if I had a Choice in the Matter, my Domicile would be so Far in the Brush that the Hoot Owls would be 1 Roosting with my Chickens. Now if the H. C. of L. were not quite so burdensome at this time we would be willing to offer a liberal prize to the person who could cor- rectly the name the writer of these pungent Unes. What did you say, you literary expert? George Ade? Well, that is what we thought at first, and it does sound something like the Mod- ern Fable stuff, but it was a bad guess. The author's name was at- tached to the effusion, and the name wag “Billy Sunday.” It goes to show how adaptable Mr. Sunday is. He is supposed to have one of the most characteristic per ~nalities in the country, and yet hc.e he is disguising himself with the greatest ease. But it is one thing to imitate George Ade and something else to assume the lit- erary garments of others who might be named. When Mr. Sunday begins to imitate Shakespeare, we shall re- gard him as what the vaudeville bills call “a protean performer.” ‘Women in Trousers. (Cincinnati Times-Star). Let us not become alarmed over tie threatened appearance of bifurcated costumes for women. We that few of the dear ladies will wear 'em. Now and then a sot of these sartorial abominations may nppear on Fifth avenue, New York, or Michi- gan avenue, Chicago, or even on our circumspect and rather prosaic Fourth street. But we seriously doubt that the satin pantaloon will appeal to the fair sex in numbers sufficient to chal. lenge the masculine monopoly in that article of apparel. Every now and then the arch plot- ters who connive darkly in the back roome# of style factorles break into print with some freak idea. Last: winter it was a standard two-piece costume for women suggestive of the Russian peasant. We recollect alsd reading of purple evening olothes for men. None of these things has ma- terialized. Therefore, no ‘one need worry seriously about the coming of trousers for women. The treat stm- ply will not come true. And one of the things which will prevent it from coming true will be the deadly cer- tainty of never ceasing the heartfelt jeers from the masculine side of the human family. Therefore, let us be calm. The Fly in the Ointment. (Ohio State Journal.) Every time we see that a promi- nent Prussian militarist has risen to his feet in Berlin and declared his impassioned way that a policy based on might alone and not on right is doomed to lose this war, leading us to think it's about 6ver and maybe we can loosen up a little' and buy something we need now. we discover in the second paragraph that he thinks his side’'s policy is based on right.
