"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
(JKRMAN'Y NEEDS THEM
Vancouver Province: The state
ment of Voa Triflitz that Germany
must retain the financial, industrial,
commercial anil military control of
Belgium does not surprise any
person. Xo one has supposed for
a moment that Germany would give
up a foot of Belgium until she was
driven out. The emanation of the
admiral is simple and adequate. He
says that Germany will keep Bel
gium tx?o&use Germany needs the
minerals, the industrial resources,
the harbors at>d seaboard. For
the same reason she will keep the
Baltic provinces of Russia, the min
ing region of France, the oilfields
of Russia and Rumania, the mineral
wealth of Poland, anri anything in
Asia that sue thinks she needs. All
that is necessary in order to acquire
these properties is to win the war.
This Germany is trying to do.
CURBING A.N ENEMY
To the -amateur gardner the de
structive cutworm seems like an ac
tive and pernicious ally of the
kaiser. Young lettuce, tomato
plants, radishes and turnips make
up tW .bulk of a casualty list after
a c.ufworm attack, and the best way
to protect -them, is to establish a
regular trench system in the war
gardens.
Many chemicals hav® __ been
recommended as effective destruct
ive agencies, but some of them are
destructive to the plants as well
as to the cutworms, and others are
costly or uncretain in their effects.
The cutworm works just under
the surface of the ground, and
never digs deep to approach the
stem or roots of a plant. The as
sistant director of the New York
state farm bureau has finally de
Vised a simple and cheap way to
foil his activities. This is it:
What should be used Is a "col
lar" or cylinder of heavy paper
or light pastboard or rardboard,
five or six inches in diameter,
made from a strip about eighteen
inches in length and three or four
inches wide. The ends should be
brought together and overlap
enough to leav© no opening, and no
fastenings is necessary, a the ground
will serve to hold the contrivance to
gether. This collar is set into the
• lirt to a depth of about two inches,
and wherever it is used it is practi
cally certain that there will be no
cutworm depredations.
This paper or cardboard bastion is
the trench embankment -which kee
the enemy cutworm away from the
youmg plants. It is effective in
New York state .and should work
just as well in the war gardens In
Alaska.
"DONT USE YOUR HEAD—USE
MINE," SAYS THE KAISER
By John M. Siddall, editor of the
American Magazine.
Ivan S. Rossiter, a Canadian sol
dier, has just been in to see me. Foi]
a year he was a German, prisoner.
"When the Germans caught him he
-was badly wounded in the right
band. They took him to a hospital
where, without the use of an. anes
thetic, they cut off one of his fin
gers and removed five pieces of
bone from his mangled wrist. They
6aid that they had no anesthetics
to spare for use on a "schwein
hund," and added that they were
saving thir anesthetics for their
own wounded soldiers. Rossiter
showed me what is left of his hand.
It isn't much, and what is left is of
no use, except as a reminder of that
German surgeon who operated with
out giving an anesthetic.
While Rossiter was in Germany
he was moved about from one
prison canvp to another until he
and other prisoners were exchanged
for German prisoners held by the
Allies. This moving-about process
was the most interesting thing he
described. He was never allowed
to stay in one place more than a
few weeks. In the year that he
was there ho was in nine different
prison camps, located in various
parts of Germany. On each trip the
train that was transferring these
wandering prisoners stopped at
every station. German officers got
out every time the train stopped and
told people that the prisoners were
all new ones—Just taken! Rossiter
says that one excursion of this kind
began at 4 o'clock in the morning
and lasted until late at night. And
always at every station was a crowd
of people to jeer at these "new"
prisoners. many of whom were
French and Belgians who had been
in captivity for two years. It got
to be like a theatrical troupe play
ing one-night stands—only far more
boresome, for the prisoners were
never allowed to leave the trains or
to commuuicate , with the crowds
that came to see them. "Rossiter
says that one company of Brtyisn
artillery "takes the palm" for tour
ing Germany in the guise of "new"
prisoners. They were captured in
tne fall of 1914 and they are still
playing to packed houses.
In other words—to tool tne peo
ple is Germany's policy. Bismarck
believed in that idea. He once said
that it is impossible to overestimate
the stupidity of the human race. No
douht the Kaiser feels just as con
temptuous about lis. In his mind,
men are nothing but bo mauy tons
of flesh and bone to be used to
pusn back boundary lines.
This war is for the purpose of
preventing human beings from be
coming as boneheaded as the Ger
man emperor would .like them to be.
It is p war against the thick skull.
On one side are those great na
tions whose policy is to teach the
people to think for themselves. On
the other is the German autocracy,
which says: "Believe what I tell
you." Imagine trying in this coun
try to palm off a train-load of vet
eran prisoners as new ones! Im
agine trying to "get by" the New
York. Times or the" Chicago Tribune
or the Cleveland Press with that
kind of flubdub.

Juneau.—The Department of Just
ice has notiifed all United States at
torneys to cause indictments to be
returned against all citizens of the
Uaited States who have removed to
other countries in order to evade
military service. These indictments
will oe returned regardless of the
fact that there may be no immediate
probaDillty of apprehending- the
persons accused. The entire service
of the law department will be used
in ferreting out these cases and
accumulating evidence in support
of the charges. It is the determin
ation of the Government that this
J sort of slacker will be severely
dealt with on his return to the U
nited States, if he should ever
come oack.
