It is possible that Spain and Swe- den will accept such explanations but they must realize before long that they are simply for the purpese of gaining time. Germany is determined that ships of belligerent or neutral will be sunik on sight and the quicker the neu- trals realize this and take steps to protect themselves the better. The acceptance of such excuses simply aids and abets Germany's course. SAVING DAYLIGHT. Long ago in the natlons which have been engaged in the war from the start, or from the early days at least, the wisdom of saving daylight made its appeal The setting forth of the advantages to be obtained resulted in lesislation being enacted which caused the setting back of the hands of the clock and the utilization of the ex- tra hour’s time in the morning when artificial light was not required and permitting the people an equal amount of time for tilling the soil or engaging in other work which results to the benefit of the country and to the in- alvidual. It is but natural therefere that the movement should find much support in this country, that it should be urged as an emergency war measurc and that a daylight saving bill should be presented to congress for approval. The need of/eliminating waste in other is recelving thoughtful at- tention and there is ne good reason why this matter should not also get consideration. There 1s, of eourse, nothing to hinder anyone from get- ting up in the morning and doing just such work at that time which they would do after the day's work was completed. Many do just that thing, but there are others who follow the customary method of rising at the blowing of a whistle or the ringing of a bell and have only sufficient stime to get to work and by that time sev- eral hours of daylight have been lost. If everyone went to work earlier by an hour the idea would work out with- out a hitch and the same uniformity as to working hours would prevail as does at the present time. The daylisht saving plan will atd materially n the Increase of foad pro- duction, as has been demonstrated In eleven Buropean countries. It will mean a saving in coal, electricity .and mas by using daylight in place thereof and when it is estimated that such a plan will result in the saving of $40,- 000,000 during the five months 1t would be in effect, it Is certainly worth at least a trial NO SEPARATE PEAGE. In econnection with the paming of the new coalitfon ecabinet in Russia which promises so mueh in the es- tablishment of a stable govarnment for that country under the new condi- tions, significant statements have been PROTECT THE CONSUMER. The federal trade commission has been spending much time in conduet- ing an investization of the coal situa- tion. 1t has been endeavoring to find ©out the reason for the exorbitant price of coal wien it is claimed that mere coal than ever is beine mined, that there is plenty to be had and that the producers hate not advanced rates, mnd yet at the time of year when the = bé the lowest and the arious sections the opposite prevails, the uation being, as one dealer de- decidedly up in the air. Following its search for facts the federal commission finds that the lack ©f transportation has had much to do ®ith the trouble. The railroads have been driven as never before and among things which have had to suf- the work of moving the coal frem the mines, but that is not the enly thing which has made coal al- most a lux caused great anx- iety for industries as weil as individ- uals. The commission finds that the preducers and brokers are sharing ex- Grbitant prices for the commodity and they are attributing it to the transpor- tation trouble, but the fact of the mat-| ter is, as xvme have admitted, that they are tAking this opportunity to cover up some of the lean years In the past and the consumer Is s made to fork over at a time when every- thing else is at the h: point and when he can least afford it In view of this situation it must be recosnized that the federal commis- sion has taken the proper course in recommendinz in its report to con- gress that there should be a govern- ment regulation of the coal industry, including the fixing of prices. It i4 time that the people received the pro- tection they ought to get. If they can- not be properly treated by those who have the say now in resard to coal ihe step cannot be taken any too soon to see that fair treatment is assured, for no one is responsible for such a recommendation except those who are taking an unfalr advantage because they happen to be in a position to do so. This cannot come to an end sny too quick SHIRKING THE BLAME, Spain has presented sharp protests to the imperinl German government Because of the sinking of several of ifs ships. Its indignation has risen to a higher pitch even than in the case of Sweden, where three vessels carrying supplies to Swedish ports were sunk after they had been prom- ised safe passage. In reply Germany has sent its regrets to Spain because of the loss of its ships and it has, in saying that 1t was sorry, expressed the hope that there would be an un- derstanding on that part of that coun- try that the responsibility lles as much with Great Britain as it does with Germany. This alonz the same line that Germany argued when this country protested the sinking of.its ships, for we were told that the ruthless subma- rine poliey was put into effect be- cause of the blockading of German ports, and that the promises to respect our rights as neutrais was dependent upon the ability of this country te swerve the allies from the course which they were following. Spain is told that it was because England held its ships in port that they were sunk. As a matter of fact _if Engiand dia hold the Spanish ships In safe harbors it means that they were getting protection which they would not have received on the high seas at the hands of the German un- derwater boats, for as soon as they aid set sail for home they were followed and sunk. Germany had no regard for the rights of the Spanish ships, no respect for the freedom of the seas which all neutral nations are entitled o and it cares not whether it sinks ‘he vesseis of nations which are Fiendly to Germany and symva- made by three of the leaders which show the attitude of the mew overn- ment both in regard to its policles con- ecerning its own part in the war and the manner in which it intends to support its allies. Premier Tvoff in speaking of Russia being degirous of a speedy peace and a peace hout annexations or in- demnities deeiared *Tt is not & _ques- tion of passive qefense. Free Russla wiil not consent to leave under the yoke of German militarism territories which were abandoned owing to the criminal negligence of the old regime. Neither can Russia remain indifferent to the fate of Belgium, Servia and Rumania nor forzet its duties towards them He further declgred that Rus- sia has no interest in such a separate peace as Germany has been striving for. 1t was the same position which was taken by M. Tereschtenko, minister of foreign affairs, when, in spesking of the declaration of the new government he said: “It understands that an in- ternational war can only be concluded by an international peace. New Rus- sia_must look forward, not behind.” The same determination to stick to the end, to fight for the success of the allied cause and to remain loyal to the mations with which it is aliled was also manifested In the address of \. Kerensky, minister of war, when he declared “So long as T am minister of war no attempt at a counter-revo- lution is possibie. Our new regime has for its soul complete union with its_allies.” These speakers indicate what sort of a reeeption the recent address of the German chancellor to the reich- stag has had upon this new govern- ment, which has for some time past been the cause of much uneasiness on the part of the entente. The ldea and possibility of a separate peace, if these leaders speak as thep appear to for the nation, is entirely banished. EDITORIAL NOTES. The many vaeant lots which have been turned over, ought not to be al- lowed to go to sleep again. Raising two billlon is a different thing than putting it down on paper, but the country not only ecan but will o 1t. The man on the cormer says: The average man is a glant who can do blg things without talking about his strength. The U-boats continue to sink Span- ish vessels, and yet Spain clings tena- clously to the method which proved unavailing in the case of this country, that of protesting, — Rintelen, Lemar and Martin should consider themselyes fortunmate that they escaped with the sentence which. they did. The stiffer the sentence in such cases the greater the lesson. Thepe s enough that needs to be done In congress without Congressman Stone taking up a lot of valuable time talking about Colonel Roosevelt be- cause he happens te be ready to fight for his country. ‘With the claim that 7,000,000 have been killed thus far In the war, and the statement being made by others that the conflict will go on for three years more, there is still a tremendous toll to be exacted on the battlefields. It the German plan is for such a strong central empire as 1is ciaimed, Bulgaria, Austria and possibly Tur- key will have a chance some day to thank the allies for the manner in which they have been rescued from such vassalage. ‘With all but twe of the Central American countries breaking off rela- tlons with Germany, the attitude of one of the two unknown and the other ving this country the use of its har- German !n(:s doesn’t appear to have much in that region. “Whatever you do," begged the Hyde Park man, addressing his friend from, Woodlawn, “whatever = crimes and mistakes there may vet be in your young life, don't, 1 beg of you, don’t move Into a house without any back stairs! “Huh!” retorted the Woodlawn man. “It may be different with you —but_as for myself T've never been able to go up more than one flight at & time, 8o what's the use of having ‘em front B Ss man srosnod. “How e I emoransaly " ha pe marked in the face of the boy who was selling him a newspaper, to_the great_indignation of that youth. “Say, I couidn't begin to tell you of the hayoc our one staircase house has wrought! Imogene was so glad when we took the place because she said there would be so much less work without any back stairs to keep clean. To have heard her talk you would have thought that the maid had nothing to do inasmuch as there were no back stairs, except to sit and fan herself all day while she ate chocolate creams and read novels! Every time a girl applied for a place Imogene ended her list of advantages by concluding de- lightedly that there were no back stairs. . “She grew quite rabid on the sub- ject and openly pitied those of her Iriends who suffered from two flights in_their homes. Whenever their maids left she would nod pityingly and com- prehendingly and murmur: ‘Well, Qear, of course you realize the work is heavy in your house—you have back stairs, you know!' So perhaps it was coming to her. Yet the inno- cent—meaning me—suffered with the guilty in this case “T tell you, I never got out into the kitchen on a Sunday morning, un- shaved and unshorn, clad in a torn bathrobe, to fix the gas heater which had been sputtering the _previous week, that the Likkletons didn’t ar- rive, desiring to know whether we didn’t want to hop into thelr car and go to church.

Views of the Vigilantcs TESTIMONY OF AN EX-PACIFIST. the By Amelia Josephine Burr of Vigilantes. Tn Julyw of 1914 1 was an extreme pacifist, believing it unchristian under any circumstances to Oppose agEres- sion with physical force. (Like many others 1 did not scrupple to avail my- self of the services of the police. but the inconsistency of this did not oc- cur to me then.) When the Great ‘War broke out, I clung to my senti- ments, though admitting that in the event 'of my mother being attacked I woukd not hesitate to defend her with any weapon that convenient. Tt is 80 much easier to be a martyr in person than by deputy! T still main- tain that such action would be a re- version from Christianity to high- class paganism of the Old Testament type, and belleved in disarmament as a preventive against the nation being over taken by such backsliding as I expected in my own case. A nation vie)ding itself meekly to martyrdom might be the salvation of the world, true. We have vet to see the result of Armenia’s sacrifice. But time and thought have made me realize that such_exalted harmony of action would not be possible in a_country of this size and build, even if it were desir- able. While some of the units might lay down their lives rather than take up the sword, others would inevita- bly fight to the death. Are Wwrong? Are they unchristian? these Among the last words of Christ were, “He that hath no sword, let him seli his gar- ment and buy one.” An inspired man has interpreted that as meaning. “Bet- ter face the winds of the world naked than not be armed to protect the weak and the oppressed.” That is the be- lief which I hold today. T do not believe there are left in the world any thinking people who believe that war in itself is a good thing. It is undeniably the contrary, and there are those, who agree with the editor of a New York magazine that, “any peace is better than a con- tinuance of this ldiotic butcher: Here is another point of view, how- ever, from a man who has seen at close quarters on the Tastern and Western fronts that very “idiotic butchery,” and still can say, “Thene can be nobody in this country who hates war and desires peace as earn- estly as those men do. Remember they are living day by day the things it sickens you to read about. But they feel that the only possibility of enduring peace for the future is to fight this through to a decision now; and if that fight is to cost their lives, they give them freely to establish a better order for those who shall came after them. They are fighting the last great war against war.” Or read —it you have already done o, read again; it 1§ worth remembering— Lol Dunsany’s preface to his last book. “Just now the eivilization of Europe seems almost to have ceased. and nothing seems to grow in her torn flelds but death, vet this is only for a while and dreams will come back again apd bloom as of old, all the more radiantly for this terrible ploughing, as the flowers will b.oom again where the trenches are and the primroses shelter in shell-holes for many seasons when weeping_Liberty has come home to Flanders. To some of you in America this may seem an unnecessary and wasteful quarrel, as other people's quarrels often are: but it comes to this, that though we are all killed there will be songs again, but if we were to submit and to sur- vive, there could be neither songs nor dreams nor any joyous free things any more.” This Frenchman and this Irishman whom T have quoted are not theorlsts who have formed thelr opin- lons at a safe distance. They are men who have jeoparded their lives for their faith in the high places of the fleld. Dunsany wrote his brave words in a barrack hespital. There are many among us to whom the conviction has come that we must bear our part in this great conflict, with eorrow that war is, with hope that war may never be again. Some feel, like a friend of my own, “I'd rather risk my life twenty times than set out to kill an- other man, but if T believe the cause is worth 'fighting for, and _ex someone to fight for it, why should 1 put _the dirty work on the other fel- low?” For others, it is impossihle to use force under any circumstances, Dut the magnificent example of the Quaker ambulance men and mine sweepers in England proves that a non-resistant can be a hero in a cause that he feels to be just A man must follow his conscience: but in such an hour as this, let him be sure it is his conscience he follows, rot any meaner guide. Let him wear the knees of his heart jn prayer to whatever God he serves—and these are the davs that expose the faise Zods!—et him cleanse his mind as with fire. This is a time when we must know ourselves. Catchwords and formulas will not longer serve us. Upon o person of violent enthusiasm and sympathies there lies a particu- larly strong ‘necessity for distinguish- ing really living faith from tradition, hearsay and mere sentiment. In my own winnowing, there have been mo- ments when there has seemed to be very little jeft but the bare thresh- ing-floor. But faithful striving after truth finds at last the grain by which one can live—even though the way of life leads through bodily death. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The Betrayal of Ireland. Mr. Editor: The “attempt of the emissary from Great Britain to be- cloud the Irish question will fall up- on deaf ears. Their philisophy of thouzht is the sincere confidence in Americar ingenuity and gullbilits The press of the country Informs the public that the Irish question is now up to the Irish themselyes. if they can agree upon any scheme of Home Rule. A clever piece of propaganda. Anyone versed on Ireland knows that the close familiarity between English and Irish political parties is the corrupt base Wherein is founded the real cause of Ireland’s trials and tribulations. The Redmondites are hand in hama with the English liberals, and we find the Irish unionists handcuffed to the English Torles, and each of the Eng- lish parties manage their Irish allies to better their own ends. Break this alliance and then Irish politics will run on strict Irish lines. The Irish party has betrayed Ireland by consenting to partition, a proposal that the minorl ty are entitled to override the majori- ty, that the people of one section are superior persons, and that people of another seetion are inferior erea- tures, that politically the vote of one individual in the superior reglon out- weighs the vote of four in the con- demned section. This is the panacea we are told will right Ireland’s wrong. The price to e delivered for this b trayal is the control of the patronage. Redmond and his colleagues will have it in that secton controlled by the sham government in Dublin; and Car- son will be the dictator in the ex- cluded section. And the fate of Ire. land (so they tell us) will be decided Dby the result of a wrangle as to how many English government jobs Red- mond and his hirelings, and Carson and his clique will be able to hold. To the people of Ireland, it will not mat- ter who w#is. Both factlons are loy- alists and will do the work for which their masters pay them well. Instead of a golden opportunity for the unity of Ireland the wedge of discord will he driven deeper, it will fan the fires of existing antagonisms. and- arouse a fiercer agitation for the rights which reland must and will have and that is self-government. This covetous wrangle disgusts every decent man. In Ireland it has produced a remarkable result. The Protestant bishops there have joined with the Catholic bishops in a public declaration against parti- tion. It is the voice of clear-sighted men, who see their country about to be sold and betrayed by the plots of political traitors. What Ireland needs today is more of the spirit of Wolfe Tone, the Emmets, Parnell, who _died true ‘to the cause of Ireland. With them departed, the best, the mightiest of her sons were gathered to the si- lent tomb, and with the anthem of dirge-like solemnity was sung, as the darkness of the grave closed over them, Ireland's star of brilliancy had set. ' And when this frenzied hour of strife ‘has passed away, when the minds of men ere calm, Ireland may then recall the long arreas of gratitude she owes to the only champlons her peovie ever had, Alas, today we find reland ruled by those, who, to all in- tents. are born, bred, and educated to all_their -political ideas in the swirl of English radicalism. ~The influence 500 Doctor Says Nuxated Iron Will lnmase Strength of Delicate | People 100% in Ten Days told agony for doctor- yearn “weakness, ntomach, New \York, N.

In all the belligerent countries women have been taking men’s jobs. In of- fices, in factorles, on_farms, driving street cars, as chauffeurs and me- chanicians, women have Deen substi- tuted for men gone to the fromt. A similar substitution has begun in_this country. A number of railroads have announced their intention of employ- ing women In all departments possible where men leave to join the army or navy. The public employment bureau in New York city has received calls for women to operate elevators. Some machine shop work has been ogened to women. There has been taik in Cleveland of empioying women on the strect railways as conductors. One large hotel system has decided to put women and girls in as bellhops. o far there is an attempt to confine this needs sofl so finely pulverized. so free from weeds, or any richer than does the onion. It will mot do well in clodded clay, and it does its best when land has been planted to onions for three or four scasons. Therefore it is particularly recommended fo those who cutivate the same garden place year after vear. New gardens are not 2pt to produce good onions unless the soil is naturally soft and rich, The seed should be sown at ‘once in special beds. planting good seed thick- iy in rows 3 or 4 inches apart, If | fortilizer ls used it should be placed | on top of the sofl, as_the onion roots feed at the surface. . The seed is cov- ered shallowly. When the plants are 3 to 4 inches high it is time to trans- plant them. The ground for the plants should be carefully prepared. The tops shouid be trimmed off one-third.
