TITUS, Notary Public Kings County, Certificate No, 168, filed in New York County, U (My commincion expires March 80, 1918.) TO GERMANS IN AMERICA. OR men and women of German birth and German sympathy living in this country events have been shaping a truth which resolves itself into a direct, imperative appeal. The worst foe of the German people at this moment, the formidable obstacle in the way of their return to peace, happiness and the respect of other nations, is the Prussian autocracy whose lawless policies and acts have outraged civilization and brought dium upon the German name, Toward the German people themselves the democracies of the world feel no hatred. The President of the United States has made that clear in our own case, Statesmen speaking for Eng- land and France have said the same. But never again can governments of nations faithful to prin- tiples of freedom, justice and humanity consent to treat the Ho- henzollern dynasty either as representing the German people or fs the recognized Government of Germany. There is the truth. Obviously there are many reasons why Germans in Germany should be slow to grasp it. On the other hand there is no reason why enlightened Ger- mans in America should not by this time grasp it fully, along with the finality of the evidence on which it rests. What is more, there is no reason why thoughtful Germans, lovers of a greater, truer Germany, should not be doing their best to get this same truth into the minds and hearts of Germans in Germany. Prussianism has poured its propaganda, its spies and agents, its political conspiracies and intrigues into free America, Now let Germans in America organize and find a way to pour back into the Fatherland facts, arguments, assurances needed to convince the German people that democracy is a surer national salvation than any dynasty can ever be. So far that is the great lesson, the bright hope evolving out of frightful conflict. For Germans it points the way to a newer, freer Germany. It points the way back to brotherhood with other nations. It points the way to peace, SS ANOTHER BLUNDER. T* President's address must have sent a chill of disappointment through that part of Prussian statecraft which had counted on the spectacle of a war-scared Uncle Sam taking thought ouly for himself and hastily cutting off the supplies of food and muni- tions America has been sending to the Allies, Not only did the President make it plain that the United States must co-operate “in counsel and action with the Governments now at war with Germany,” at the same time extending to them “the most liberal financial credits,” but he further pointed out specifically and in the clearest terms that there must be no diminution in the volume of war material we send them: “We should keep constantly in mind the wisdom of Inter- fering as little as possible in our own preparation and in the equipment of our own military forces with the duty—for it will be a very practical duty—of supplying the nations already at war with Germany with-the materials which they can obtain only from us or by our assistance. “They are in the field and we should help them in every way to be effective there.” ‘This must make dismal reading in Berlin. The fond hope that the United States might wage war in selfish isolation greatly cheered those Imperial German statesmen who thought that to provoke this nation to declare war would be to cripple other foes of Prussianism. That dream is now dispelled. The United States fights with the Allies, beside the Allies, with all its immense resources to support and strengthen the Allies.

While ‘April 6& is generally the date for planting the early varieties in this section, it will probably be better to wait a week or so later, The late varieties should not be planted until two or three weeks later. SEEDING ECONOMY. The cost of seeding can be greatly reduced if, instead of using a whole potato for planting, you will cut out cone-shaped pieces of flesh, each con- taining an eye of the potato. In this way only from one-fourth to one-fifth of the flesh of the potato will be need- ed to provide seed and the remainder of tha potato can be cooked for table use, Tho cuttings then should be spread out on a plece of paper in a moderately cool room (about 50 de- grees F.) and allowed to remain there until they have cured, that ts, until the cut surface has become dry. A day or two should suffice for this, and potatoes then should be put In a shal- low box or tray and placed where it{ ia still cooler, Any storage condition that will Insure them against frost on the one hand and undue ehriveling on the other should prove satisfactory, ‘These seed pleces can be started in- doors provided it 1s posible to secure By Lafayet Mothers of American Patriots te McLaws ANNAH SIMPSON was @ slen- der, self contained girl when in 1821 she married Jesse Grant. ‘They set up housekeeping in a cabin of two rooms at Mount Pleasant on the north bank of the Ohio River.
