The Elder Metzdorff The arrest of Hugo Metzdorff, father of the young German taken into custody two weeks ago, informs the public that the County Council of Defense is sincere in its intention to wipe out every vestige of pro-Germanism in this community. Developments in the last four weeks show to the casual observer of our civic life that an ultraeffective crusade is in force against disloyalty even If those who entertain it try to camouflage it under varying guises. Metzdorff 's arrest is a blow at the fountain head of a disturbance that has given the authorities concern and worry for some time. Even if he is not a paid agent of the German secret service, nevertheless his pronounced apathy toward America's entrance into the war and his attempts to discourage his American associates make him a dangerous man to let run loose and justify his detention until the war is over. If a man of Metzdorff's ilk can succeed in influencing only one American citizen to become an apostate to absolute loyalty, he has done irreparable mischief. For this one misguided American carries a contagion that is communicated quickly and easily to other Americans, creating in short time a cancerous sore in our community that calls for a surgical operation.
It js needless to discuss the reasons why the
elder Metzdorff prefers the Kaiser's dominance to American success in. arms. Kultur has left its
mark on him and . he , subscribes to its tenet
"Soldat sein, Steuer zahlen, Mund halten," (be a
soldier, pay taxes, keep yoiir mouth shut) . Of course, a German propagandist in this country cannot observe the injunction of silence. He has to talk, and his utterances reflect the opinion of his heart, "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh," says the Word.
stand why the saving of a little piece of butter each day will help win the war, the conference will give you so many reasons that you may feel like a traitor and slacker. If the necessity of increased food production has remained a mystery, the war conference speakers will solve it and fortify you with facts which are unanswerable. The speakers come from many walks of life. Two of them have been in the steel-swept trenches of Flanders. They will give you first hand information, based on realities and actualities.
The War Conference Again Doctors, dentists, lawyers, school teachers, business men and ministers hold meetings and conferences at stated times for the purpose of broadening their knowledge and of acquainting themsek-es with new methods and systems. r The war conference, scheduled to be held at the Coliseum on February 4, has a similar purpose. The County Council of Defense proposes to bring together all the citizens of Wayne county
for a study of war aims and purposes. Noted speakers will impart information and ask for the opinions of the people who reside in this community. The exchange of views will help solve questions that remain unanswered in our minds or upon which the government wants enlightenment. The great war is drawing on every resource of the American people. It is challenging them as no other question has. It is affecting their homes and lives as no other problem has. It is drawing their sons into the army, their money into Liberty bonds, their enterprise into increased crop production and food conservation. Obviously there are many involved points that we do not understand. In the nature of the amazing ramifications of this war, we cannot grasp them all without hard and long study. The war conference aims to explain some of these points. If hitherto you could not under-
Conquest and Kultur "At the close of the Spanish-American War, I was returning on the Santee I think it was from Santiago, Cuba, to Montauk Point. On board there was a military attache from Germany, Count von Goetzen, a personal friend of the Kaiser. There was also an attache from some South American country, possibly Argentina. "Apropos of a discussion between Count von Goetzen and myself on the friction between Admiral Dewey and the German Admiral at Manila, von Goetzen said to me: 'I will tell you something which you better make note of. I am not afraid to tell you this because, if you do speak of it, no one would believe you and everybody will laugh at you. " 'About 15 years from now my country will start her great war. She will be in Paris in about two months after the commencement of hostilities. Her move on Paris will be but a step to her real object the crushing of England. Everything will move like clockwork. We will be prepared and others will not be prepared. I speak of this because of the connection which it will have with your own country. " 'Some months after we finish our work in Europe we will take New York and probably Washington and hold them for some time. We will put your country in its place with reference to Germany. We do not purpose to take any of your territory, but we do intend to take a billion or more dollars from New York and other places. The Monroe doctrine will be taken charge of by us, as we will then have put you in your place, and we will take charge of South America, as far
as we want to
country. I like it, but we have to go our own way. Don't forget this, and about 15 years from now remember it and it will interest you.' " Statement of Maj. N. A. Bailey to Dr. W. T. Hornaday, given in a letter from Dr. Hornaday in New York Tribune, August 11, 1915.

THE PIE HUNTER'S LAMENT Back, back, back - To the gravel pit, Oh, Gee! And I thought that Woodrow surely Would have a job for me. Alas for the days I have spent In writing to Washington. Alas for the stamps I have spent, And nary reply not one.
We hear a good bit about those little groups of sincere thinkers in New York. How about the little groups of sincere drinkers?
No group of men has achieved greater publicity during the war than those famous gentlemen, "Reading from left to right." There is nothing we enjoy more than sitting down of an evening before a cheerful grate fire and trying to find a punch in a "Statevepost" editorial. It's a game. Dean W. Horace Hoskins, Of New York University, Advises th housewives who are Banded together for food conservation, To fat horsemeat. He says the Meat of Frank and Lucy, The faithful old livery steed?. Is cheaper and more wholesome than beef. He says in New York city alone Ten thousand pounds of horsemeat Is consumed every week and folks don't know it. Therefore, he advises all housewives to
Eat horsemeat and be happy and prosperous. - . Very well. Let the housewives eat it We can name one house-husband who won't. Among the prominent citizens who will be permanently missing after April 2 are Tom and Jerry.
The upper classes in Russia seem to be downtrodden. Everybody in Russia seems to be getting what is coming to him. In a week or two the Bolsheviki will get theirs. Now that Uncle Sam is running the railroads maybe there will be enough red oil for the switch lights at last
THE NEW BATTLE CRY: "HUNWARD, CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS."
Next Tuesday, Pruneless Day. If the national food dictator wants to get busy he will never have a better chance. We have been waiting some months for the show to begin.

COSSACKS DECLARE WAR ON GENERAL KALEDINES
Quakers Calmly Considered From the New York Times TO the exemption of Friends, or Quakers, as they are more commonly known, from direct participation in the activities of war, no general objection has been made or felt. The reality of their "conscientious scruples" against taking part in the actual work of ending human life has been recognized and respected. The great majority of the Friends, too, have been content with
an exemption that went no further than this. They have not criticised neighbors who took a different view of war, and in many instances they have given those neighbors effective assistance in caring for the soldiers and providing for their needs. Thus have the Friends earned something more than tolerance, in spite of their disinclination of refusal to per
form what is recognized under all governments, and by democracies not less than by monarches and autocracies, as the fundamental duty of a citizen. In return for this tolerance, it becomes the Friends to retire from and to keep out of positions which in ther very nature involve the declaration and teaching of patriotism as it is understood by a majority of human being3 so large that its members have a right to consider themselves normal and everybody else abnormal. For these reasons it seems to us that a Friend, at this time, is distinctly out of place as a teacher in a public school that if well advised 6uch a teacher will resign, and that if not docile to good counsel, he or she, as the case may be, should be dismissed. This problem is now before our Board of Education. There should be no delay in solving it or in solving it correctly.

Mike had seen nearly every clock in the shop, but had discarded all of them as not being good enough for his purpose. The weary shopman had exhausted his whole stock except a few cuckoo clocks, so he brought these forward as a last resource, and vowed he would do his best to sell one or know the reason why. "Do the clocks strike the hours? asked Mike. "I'll show you what they do," said the shopman. And he set the hands of one to a few minutes to 12. When the little door flew open and the cuckoo thrust his head out, cuckooing away for dear life, Mike was thunderstruck. But when the bird disappeared be looked glum, and pondered in gloomy thought for a moment. "Well, how do you like that?" asked the shopman. "That's a staggerer for you, isn't it?" "Faith and begorra, I should think It is," declared Mike. "It's trouble enough to remember to wind it without having to think of feeding the bird."
PETROGRAD, Jan. 28. An official statement issued today by the Bolsheviki government says that on Wednesday the congress of Cossacks from the front was inaugurated at the military stations of Kamensky and passed unanimously a resolution declaring war on General Kaledines and relegating all authority to the congress.

By Major G. P. Morton (Of the 4Ctli Canadian Infantry) I'll tell you my first experience with a whiz-bang, that is, at close range. It was on the Yimy sector last winter. V.'e wre making inspection down the liDe. When we came to the last post we called out to the sentry on duty nnd asked how everything was. "All right, sir," came the answer. At that place at the end of the line they had fixed up a place where the boys could go in and smoke, corrugated iron covered the top with sides of sugger sheeting to keep the wind and rain out. And there I found a few of the patrol inside. I asked what they were doing there and the Corporal in charge explained he thought it was not dark enough for them all to stay outside. I was just telling them
they had better get out on duty when
