Japan's Plea for Steel Japan asserts that her ship building industry is being ruined and thousands of men are out of work because our embargo on steel plates prevents shipments to that country. The point at issue between the Mikado and our country is to be discussed at a conference between our government and Japan's commission. The United States placed an embargo on steel plates because we needed them in our own country. The facts summarily stated are : Our government is rushing a ship building program. Ships are needed to transport our troops to France and to keep them supplied with provisions and munitions. If there were enough ships on our Atlantic seaboard to take care of our shipping, we would not need the plates and Japan could have them.

Japan might extricate herself from the embarrassment by offering to send ships through the Panama canal to relieve the situation on the Atlantic coast. She has steadfastly refused to do so, arguing that she needed ships to take care t "wn commerce on the Pacific coast. 7 Japan's demand for plates arises from the rreat i1hPetus 2iven to her sniPPin industry. 'She hiyf been constructing ships in increasingly large rl umber annually. Ve believe that Japan ought to see that as one cf Ue Allies her duty in this war is to turn over to tbte Entente powers enough ships to relieve the emergency caused by the Kaiser's submarine warfare, Will Germany Destroy Germany? Gracft-EIlery Channing, writing in this week's issue of The Saturday Evening Post, concludes an article with this paragraph : For Germany cannot destroy France: France and the whole world will prevent that. She cannot destroy and dominate the whole world: France, England, Russia. Italy, we ourselves shall

see to that. But it remains to be seen whether!

the whole world can prevent Germany from destroying Germany. Eefore she concludes her article, she intimates that some of the provinces which make up the German Empire may revolt against Prussian autocracy and lead a reform of the nation. Prussia was detested by many of the provinces when the Empire was .founded. Some of this animosity has disappeared. Part of it still remains. This may become a leaven that, with the overthrow of Prussian autocracy and bureaucracy, may bring about a new Germany dedicated to the principles for which enlightened civilization today stands.

Works Gets Out Former United States Senator Works of California has withdrawn from the People's Council of America for Democracy and Peace. That, organization "could be nothing else than an annex to the Socialist party," declared Works in explanation of his stand. Works should have possessed sufficient judgment to understand the working of the organization before he identified himself with it as an ally. The disloyal vagaries of the Council were pronounced enough to convince any American that true loyalty and fidelity to the Flag could not be found among its members. The former California senator has earned a notoriety that will cling to his name for many years. His name gave to the organization an element of prestige which it might not have gained in its inception. Not he but the organization was benefited by his membership.

Y.M.G. A. ARMY WORK PRAISED BY DUKE

T. Herschell Duke, Wayne county soldier who is serving in the fourth aviation squadron stationed at South San Antonio, Tex., praises the work don by the Young Men's Christian association !n the army camps, in a letter received here. Money contributed to the "Y" fund for welfare work is certainly well spent, he says. Duke tells of services on a Sunday morning and the eplendid talks made by men employed la the "Y." He says the soldiers feel that they get more out of the fcfrvices in camp than any services they ever attended.

have been guilty of disloyal statements and of

policies intended primarily and with purpose to alienate the patriotism and loyalty of a part of our citizenship is palpably plain to any one who reads their utterancese.

Our government will not be acting without
