Immediately he answered his own question. “We must exterminatc them!” he declared. “In the four years Wichtl said, “‘we must of many millions of That's good! The with these Slavs FOR of the war, have disposed fighting Slavs. | only way to deal to destroy their race so utterly that it will not be able to recover within perceivable time. We Germans have already annihilated Serbia, Montenegro, and Russia. So shall we also stamp out, root and | branch, the Slavs of Austria-Hungary. | Wichtl's speech was made befor friendly audience. The Styrians are the best fighters in the Austrian army, and they are also the most faithful to the Austrian cause. They are mostly | mountaineers, shut out from the | world and poorly educated. Like | their brother Teutons in Germany, | they show a disposition to swallow, line and bait, everything told them by the ministers of the government. Germany’s cleverest move, accord- ing to Wichtl, was the way she carried the war on to foreign soil. If the Wwar were now carried to Czech soil, he declared, no German would regret it. The next step, in his opinion, is for Germany and Austria to take all possible measures against the forma- tion of a Checho-Slovac or Jugoslav state. As the artisans of a Greater Germany, the ministers of the state must reduce these Siavs and dis- member them. Not until the Slavs are wiped off the face of eastern Burope, will Germany's hopes be realized. “And when that time comes: Deputy Wichtl, “there will no | be two states, but only one Great Ger- | many. It will be one Dbig (?f'(‘l\];ln! house, where only German will be | spoken, only German ideas thought, | | | | | ol { is Do United libers Subsc a LOAN said | longer and German battles fought. Then we shall wage a new war. We shall liver three mighty blows by forcing our way to America, subduing the | whole Orient, and establishing Ger- man power over Japan and China.” The dispatches say that Wichtl's speech was interrupted with tumultu- ous approval, applause, and cries of “He is right! Listen to him The incident is significent because it shows the way pan-German ideas have been sowed even in such remote places s | the mountain towns of Styria. | WOMEN WORK IN | AIRPLANE PLANTS de- Fair Sex Lend Hands and Brains to Ibportant Branch of English. Endeavo Women's adaptability to all industry has been shown in F where the production of airc fallen largely in their hands, ing to L. K. Yates. He in his story of women in war work, which has reached the department of labor: “The work is for the most part light, and the new factories, often erected in open country, ave bright, airy, and lursely free from the noisc of machinery. Added to these special attractions to the womai worker, there is apparently a distinct appeal to the youth of hoth sexes and to women of all ages in anything con- nected with the art of flying. It is no ot that our output of aireraft i adily increasing and | that during 1917 it has been doubled. Tn one factory in Loadon the output has been trebled within three months; in Lancashirc there are instancse where it ha been doubled, and other areas show an improved pro- duction from to 50 per ceat. increased demand for labor for this wark has always been immediately answered, and there is a steady fiow into the factories of the best type of women workers fron every class of society.
