Not Our War Germany's note, while coming as a surprise, is no surprise. There is no other course open to the German government after the allies flat i ootedly refused to enter into peace negotiations on a reasonable basis. England's food blockade is slowly starving Germany. The latter's only recourse short of admission of defeat and unconditional surrender in spite of undefeated armies, is to make use of her great submarine fleet to break the stranglehold England's fleet has gripped about the throat of the German Empire. Some Americans will say that this action of Germany is so serious an infraction of our international rights as to warrant the United States joining the Allies in the war. Such argument,' however, will be pure silliness or sophistry. In-j ternational risrhts and international law have!

both been wiped out during the course of this war. England has violated the neutrality of Greece, seized passengers and mails on American ships bound to neutral ports, and prohibited our trading with Germany through neutral countries ; all in violation of international rights and law.

Germany has violated the neutrality of Belgium,

and by means of her submarines has sunk passen

ger-munition ships, causing the loss of American lives on these British boats ; all in violation of in

ternational rights and law.

When some Americans urge the throwing of

this country into Europe's maelstrom of war, consider for what the war is being waged. It is a trade war pure arid simple. England is fighting to retail her foreign trade, to obtain the foreign trade of Germany and to destroy the latter's merchant marine. Germany is fighting for a free outlet lor her foreign trade and for as much more of England's as she can get. Both sides have invoked chivalry and humanity' and liberty as the ideals they are fighting for. They are. England is fighting for the English brand of chivalry, humanity and liberty and Ger many is fighting for the German brand of chivalry, humanity and liberty. Both brands, how

ever, when subjected to unbiased analysis are found to be the trademarks of their respective commercial products. Both nations have simply gone from- the plane of commercial competition for foreign trade to the plane of murderous warfare for international markets.

This sort of war can nofbe for Americans unless they have departed from the ways of the country's, fathers. Our wars have been fought for the principle of freedom of opportunity for individuals and nations. We fought to free ourselves from England's tyranny. We fought to free the slaves and to maintain liberty within the union. We fought to free the Cubans from Spanish injustice, tyranny and misgovernment. We have never fought to take markets away from other nations. In China we have stood for freedom of opportunity for all nations and England's allies Japan and Russia, are fighting our efforts there now and seeking to make that great and undeveloped nation their closed market. We have announced our willingness to fight for the freedom of South American nations from foreign,

domination and have unselfishly made no attempts to monopolize those markets. England felt the force of this policy in 1893 when president Cleveland gave her the alternative of war or yielding the territory she had unjustly grabbed from Venezuela.

The record is clear and honorable. We can not stain our heritage today at the solicitation of pseudo-Americans who, on the slightest pretext, would throw ua into this war on the side of England or of Germany. Both Nations are colonizing nations- land grabbers seekers after closed or monopolized markets. We stand for unmonop-

olized and free markets and fair opportunities therein for all nations. We must cease being pro-German or pro-Ally. We must become entirely pro-American, and as such we must resolutely fight all insane attempts to embroil us in the war. It is not our war. Let those who started it finish it as best they can and with what weapons they choose. In the meantime, as pro-Americans who have had their silly illusions about war and the likelihood of warfare among civilized nations destroyed, let use keep everlastingly at it to get a government without ostrich-like illusions, a govern ment that will heed our just demands and will enable every man of us to become trained and will have the equipment on hand to defend our nation; our families and our livelihoods against the aggressions of just such nations as are arrayed against each other today.

Lockwood was restless and could not help beating around In the underbrush, in the hope of turning up something. Now and then he would mutter to himself some threat if anything happened to Inez. I let him occupy himself, for our own, as much as bis, peace ot mind. Alfonso had joined his mother in the car and they sat there conversing in low tones In Spanish, while I watched them furtively. Of a sudden, I became aware thai I missed the sound of Lockwood beating about the under-brush.. I called, but there was no answer. Then we all called. There came back nothing but a mocking echo. I could not follow him. If I did, I would lose the

de Moches. Had he been laying low, waiting his opportunity to get away? Or was he playing a 'one hand? Much as I suspected him, during the past few hours I had come to admire him. I sent the de Moche driver out to

look for him. but be seemed afraid to venture far, and, of course, returned and said that be could jiot And him. Even in bis getaway, Lockwood had been characteristic. He had been strong enough to bide his time, clever enough to throw every one oft guad. It put a new aspect on the case for me. Had Whitney intended to capture of Inez for Lockwood? Had our coming so unexpectedly into the case thrown the plans awry and was it the purpose to leave them marooned at Rockledge while we were shunted off in the city? That, too, was plausible. I wished Kennedy would return before anything else happened.

It was not long by the clock before Kennedy did return. But it seemed ages to me.

He was not alone. . With him was a man in a uniform, and a powerful dog, for all the world like a huge wolf. "Down, Searchlight," he ordered, as the dog began to show an uncanny interest in me. "Let me introduce my new dog detective," be chuckled. "She has a wonderful record as a police dog. I got O'Connor out of bed and he telephoned out to the nearest suburban station. That saved a good deal of time in getting her up here." I mustered up courage to tell Kennedy of the defection of Lockwood. He did not seem to mind it especially. "He won't get far, with the dog after him, if we want to take the time," he said. "She's a German sheep dog, a Scbaeferbund-" Searchlight seemed to have many of the characteristics of the wild, prehistoric animal, among them the foil, upright ears of the wild dog, which are such a great help to it. She was a fine, alert, upstanding dog, hardy, fierce, and literally untiring, of a about the same size and somewhat

of the type of the smooth-coated collie, broad of chest and with a full brush ot tail, Untamed as she seemed, she was perfectly under Kennedy's control and rendered him absolute

and unreasoning obedience. They took her over to the abandon

ed car. There they let her get a good whiff of the bottom of the car about the driver's feet, and a moment later

she started off. Alfonso and his mother insisted on

going with us and that made our

progress across country slow. On we went over the rough country, through a field, then skirting a clump of woods until at last we came to a

lane.

We stopped in the shadow of a

thicket. There was an empty summer home. Was there some intruder there? Was it really empty? Now and. then we could hear Searchlight scouting about in the underbrush, crouching and biding, watching and guarding. We paused and waited in the heavily-laden night air, wondering. - The soughing of the night wind in the evergreens was moumfuJ. Did jt betoken a further tragedy? There was a slight noise from the other side of the house. Craig reached out and drew us back into the shadow of the thicket, deeper. "Some one is prowling about, I think. Leave it to the dog." Searchlight, who had been near us, was sniffing eagerly. From our hiding-place we could just see her. She had heard the sounds, too, even before we had, and for an instant stood

with every muscle tense. Then, like an arrow, she darted into the underbrush. An instant later, the sharp crack of a revolver rang out. Searchlight kept right on. never stopping a second, except, perhaps, in surprise. - 1

"Crack!" almost in her face came a second spit of Are in the darkness, and a bullet crashed through the leaves and buried itself in a tree with a ping. The intruder's marksmanship was poor, but the dog paid no attention to it. One of the few animals that show

Editor, The Richmond PaUadium: It is a shame that 1500 dollars of the amount given by kind-hearted citizens of Richmond to charity must go to pay the salary of a man, whose only purpose is to decide whether the applicant for charity is a humbug or not I believe it is a recognised fact in Richmond that there is a great deal of poverty in our midst and also that the Wayne County Social Service Bureau has failed to remedy this condition or even made much headway. The real trouble in Richmond, as in very other city, is not that charity is not handled rightly but that we are trying to abolish poverty by feeding it. All the charity that the kind-heart-ed citizens of this city may give to the victims of poverty will not in any way aid to abolish it The time has come hen we must not try to alleviate the sufferings of victims of an unjust social system but must take tbe pains to go to the root of social diseases, poverty Is one of them, and find the cause of it. It is a recognized fact that the causes of poverty fall under three heads: (I) insufficient wages to kep a family, (2) misfortune and (3) carelessness. I believe you will agree with me when I lay the bulk of the blame of poverty on the first named cause. Take a list of those dependent of charity in Richmond atod I will venture to say that the average dependent is receiving less than $500 a year- Doesn't it stand to reason that the best way to abolish poverty in

Richmond is to raise wages.

You can't kill a tree by trimming some of the branches off the top you'll

have to strike near the roots, you can't abolish poverty by feeding its victims, you'll have to strike at the root of this disease of society and abolish the private ownership of the means ot ife, abolish a eystem of society that allows a'hy man or group of men to control the food, and demand their own prices for it in spite of the hunger of many unfortunate victims of our social organization. Yours truly, VERLON T. BALLINGER, ?20 Lincoln Street.
