The Unseen Foe Germany's shock troops and picked Bavarian fighters know the war game. They constitute a foe whose fighting ability is not underestimated by the Allies. They are men who appear on the battlefields to brave shot and shell. They are known.

But greater yet than the visible German army is the legion of unseen soldiers whose activities extend to every belligerent and neutral camp. This unseen foe is made up of the spies which Germany has, planted in every country. These invisible foes, whose punishment is death if detected, are not novices at the game. They were working in the United States long before the war was declared. They were recruited with care, trained in Berlin, picked because they were admirably fitted for their nefarious work.

meanness of blackguardism to attain Itk ends, even callously conducting official houses of prostitution for the

entrapment of the unwary. It is the most unlovely fruit of the appalling latter-day German logic of expediency. It is the last word In efficiency as efficient as the German Army and almost all persuasive. Corruption and furtive destruction are the blind arms of the German Army, often more dangerous than the visible army in the field. The Russian armies fell before the stealth of the German spy rather than before the charge of the Pomeranian grenadier. The world is literally acrawl today with the spies of Central Europe. They are recruited from all national

ities, and are paid mostly according to the value of each

piece of work. Some are working to earn promised Ger

man commercial and nolitical support after the war; a

motley host are working upon the inspirations of a long

time-cultured patriotism; and a fanatic few are actuated

by desires for German social advantages and orders in the gift of the Emperor. Some of the most highly placed and

influential of the foreigners in the ranks of the German spy machine are those desirous of winning promised German political and commercial backing in the days following the war. These agents are playing for high stakes, and there are many shrewd traitors among them!

Americans are an easy-going and tolerant people. They dismiss the spy danger with a laugh, believing that it is not real or menacing.

Their wrath is slow to rise. It is high time that we are shaking off this feeling, and appreciate the extent of the invisible foe that is thwarting our war work at home. Our soldiers on the front must fight not only the Germans in the trenches but also the German spies in this country. We have manifestations of German propaganda and spy work in our own community. Highly sensational charges against the Red Cross work, allegations against the honesty of the persons in charge, silly statements that Red Cross sweaters are not sent to the front but are appropriated by workers, and scores of other foolish but damaging utterances are craftily engendered and spread by the spies of the Kaiser. Some good Americans are gullible enough to swallow the bait, and so the stories are told from house to house until almost irreperable damage is done to a noble cause. How can this sort of talk be stopped? We believe that one effective cure is this. The next time a man utters an anti-American thought, impugns the work of the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A., expresses sympathy for Germany, hit him as hard as you can. Smash him in the face. Don't argue with him, but smash him. " Then, let's see whether public opinion won't back you to the limit. A few incidents of this kind will convince German ' sympathizers that Richmond is an unhealthy place for a person who is not loyal to his country. Another effective method is to report disloyal

statements of all kinds to the police and to Postmaster Beck. Don't hesitate but act. Tell the police and federal officers exactly what was said and by whom. You'll not be disappointed in the speed with which Uncle Sam acts. If you still believe that we are exaggerating the condition, read the following citation from an article written for The Saturday Evening Post by J. Curtis Roth, formerly United States vice-consul at Plauen, Saxony: Scientific spying is a Prussian product. It knows no ethics, owns no friendships and enjoys no code of honor. It delights to operate through degenerates, international highbinders and licentious women. It shrinks before no

Use the Wood that Is Wasting Fuel is going to waste in Indiana. Not because we are overheating our rooms but because we are permitting it to go to waste in wood lots. Richard Lieber, state forester, suggests that thousands of cords of wood, are rotting in pas

ture and timber lots. Fallen branches cover the ground, unused, and losing their fuel value as the days pass. Hundreds of poor persons could lay in a supply of wood that would help them through the winter months if they knew where to get it and could obtain permission from the owners. Hundreds of farmers in Wayne county would be glad to permit worthy persons to gather the fallen limbs and take them home. Every cord of wood retrieved from disintrigation means so many pounds of coal saved for war work Or, go one step farther. If the farmers were able to find the time, which many of them cannot because of corn husking, they could cut enough wood to enable them to use this for fuel instead of coal. This would release thousands of tons of coal which are used in rural homes. Add this tonnage to the supply needed for the factories that are making war munitions, and the railroads would be relieved of part of their transportation troubles, giving them additional cars to haul the supplies and munitions needed for war work. This kind of intensive co-operation may seem over-exaggerated to most of us, but before many weeks pass it will become a reality. As war efforts become more intense, the necessity of the most intimate kind of co-operation will become increasingly apparent.

HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ENTERTAINED AT COLLEGE

The Gary Idea

From The Chicago Tribune.

HE following quotation gives the Gary idea of a

school plant: "It is a playground, garden, workshop, social

center, library and traditional school combined under the same management. It is considered of the greatest importance that right conditions be provided for the pleasure and recreation of the child and adult. In addition, a properly organized playground, workshop, and school secure the same attitude of mind toward reading, writing, and arithmetic that the child normally has for play.

"Also the shop and school features greatly increase the value of the plant as a recreation and social center for adults. The school day may be eight and a quarter hours, but the organization is so flexible that children may get all of their academic work during four hours in the forenoon or four hours in the afternoon, and if the parents can convince the school authorities that the children's time can be wisely used elsewhere the children are excused from the other four hours' attendance. "The peculiar features of instruction in the Gary plan are departmental instructors throughout the entire school and a system of industrial education in which artisans are employed as instructors, and the regular repairs and additions to school furniture and buildings furnish the basis of instruction."

A New York banker has returned from England and cays in an interview that business conditions are bad in Europe just now. We can almost believe that he is more than . half right.

"They are booming LaFolIette for president," says a prominent Socialist, President of what an old woman's home? i In New York they are going to play Shakespeare with modern settings and costumes. Fortunately for him, the author will not be able to appear and make a curtain speech. A cattle raiser's journal anxiously states that there is a scarcity of calves this year. Take a look along Main street That's where they are. Following close upon the capture of Beersheba, the British have taken Gaza and have advanced to within twenty-five miles of Jerusalem. Looks as though the good old book may come back In style for reference and map purposes, at least.

If the average person huntsaround long enough he will be able to find several things to be thankful for on the 29th of this month. THE TURK AND HUMANKIND Now doth the young ambitious turk fill up on golden corn. His menus are the finest that he's known since he was born. He struts a"bout in conscious pride and glories in his weight. This gay Thanksgiving bird does not know; of his doleful fate. How much like folks some turkeys are, who strut from morn till night, not knowing that the hungry horse will gobble them at sight. Full many a man with' swollen bean has lost proportion's sense, ignoring fate that waits-just rouDd the corner of the fence. IF EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE LINE OF FOOD FAILS, WE CAN EAT OUR WORDS. THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS UNPLEASANT TO TAKE.

Dinner

S tor i e

.In a small west Texas town, out in the Cap Rock country, interest was centered about the registration booth, and the atmosphere was becoming

pretty solemn and funereal when a well-set-up young cowman clicked up to the official in charge and gave a well-known name. Glibly answering the questions put to him, he was met with the question: "Ever have any accidents?" "Accidents? Nope." "Never had an accident In your life?" "Nope. Rattler bit me once." "Don't you call that an accident?" continued the questioner, eying the easy, going young fellow severely. "Hell, no! The blamed thins bit me on purpose!" .Two brothers who live in an East Lancashire manufacturing town were noted for being exceptionally wellserved with nasal organs. One of the ring spinners at the mill where they worked invited them to a wedding and promised to send a cab for them. The cab duly arrived and the two brothers entered and planked themselves down, one at each window. In order to create an impression during the drive to the wedding, the two brothers were looking out of the

cab, one. cn either side, so that the people could see them. All went well until the cab came to a rather narrow railway arch, which our travelers had to pass through. The cabman looked back to take bis bearings and, seeing the two brothers' noses sticking out of the windows on either side, shouted: "Put them elbows in, please!" A suburban minister during his discourse one Sunday morning said: "In every blade of grass there is a sermon." Next day one of his elders found the good man mowing his lawn. "Well, sir." he said, "I am glad to see you engaged in cutting your sermons short."
