Requisitioning Wheat - The action of the government in requisitioning wheat held on farms Is In accord with en

lightened patriotism. The government used all persuasive methods at its command to get this supply from the farms to the evelators. When farmers refused to heed the urgent calls of the federal authorities, there wasonly one recourse

left to requisition the what. Food Administrator Gilbert has given far

mers ten days to market the wheat they have stored on their farms. If they fail to comply,

he will haul the supply to the market.

America cannot win the war, if all our re

sources are not effectively administered. Wheat

stored in barns and graneries assists the Ger

mans in defeating us, for it keeps from our civil

ians and soldiers foodstuffs that are urgently

needed.

The price of wheat was fixed last year. It meant a goodTeturn to the farmer. The price gave him a profitable return for his investment

and his time.

The Pan-Germanist Union

By David Starr Jordan Of the various combinations looking at once toward monopoly, exploitation, nationalism, and war, the most noted, as well as the most powerful is the "Alldeutschtum Verband," or Pan-Germanist Union. This was founded in Berlin in April 9, 1891. The immediate occasion was the exchange at the instance of the young Kaiser of the island of Zanzibar for the island of Heligoland. Zanzibar was the key to a vast colonial empire, while Heligoland was useful potentially as a naval shelter. This transaction appeared to many to sacrifice great colonial interests to a secondary matter of coast defense. The Pan-Germanist Union was opposed to all policies of conciliation of whatever kind. This placed it in opposition to acts of the ministry in power, for no government can exist without a certain degree of conciliation and compromise. Its center was with the agrarian nobility. With these were associated the great iron manufacturers, exploiters of Asia and Africa, the military generally and a large group of "intellectuals," professors, editors, travelers, clericals, imperialists, expansionists, annexationists, militarists, titled gentlemen of leisure, supporters of "a vigorous foreign policy." The society numbered in 1914 about 300,000 persons; 2,300 in foreign lands. Its primary function was the exaltation of the German world state, the control of all education in the interest of world politics, the support of all nationalistic

movements at heme and abroad, and especially the support of German financial interests and the determination of foreign policy toward "practical results."

Among its avowed plans was the consolidation of central Europe by the annexation by

force of the Teutonic regions surrounding Ger many Belgium, Holland, Switzerland, and Den

mark. Another was the practical annexation

of Turkey, by the extension of the Bagdad rail

way. with the redemption and colonization of Mesopotamia. Other plans Involved the seizure of northeastern France, notably the port of Boulogne and the iron region of French Lorraine. These plans were, in general, opposed by the German Government as involving risks few prime ministers would care to undertake. Hence

the necessiay of developing, from time to time, a

crisis, or a "stream of events." which would leave him no choice. Brailsford asserts that it is "the function of the prime minister to have his- hands

forced." Almost every prime minister since

1891 has had this experience at the hands of the

Pan-Germanists.

While the general scheme was of the nature of a conspiracy, one could hardly call it a "secret plot," as its purposes were proclaimed "from the house tops" by retired officers and by its subsidized press. Its purposes, some of which were

above reproach, were all vitiated by absolute re

liance on military force and financial corruption for their accomplishment, in utter defiance of the rights or the feelings of the peoples concerned.

The "lust for annexation" was the avowed mov

ing spmt of the league. The machinations of

this group operating under the shelter of dynastic power were directly responsible for the attacks on

Serbia and Belgium, and therefore for the incep tion of the world war.

Casualty Reports From Indianapolis News

ENERAL MARCH'S determined stand for the eup-

pression of dates and addresses in casualty lists

suggests there are valid reasons for the new pol

icy. In explaining how the old method gave information

to the enemy, he said:

The raids which are being conducted along our fronts are for the purpose of capturing one soldier, if pos

sible, with the object of obtaining from him information

about the organization which is opposed to the German lines at this point. With the publication of the address of the nearest relative the German agent in the United

States approaches the relatives and obtains from them the

information which Germany is attempting to obtain from

our front by attacks on our forces. .

With the rapidly changing conditions on the west

front it would seem that the process of getting informa

tion in such a way would be altogether too slow to be valuable. But if the government thinks the addresses

should be suppressed the public will accept the situation, of course.

The other reason given by General March for the change in policy was that relatives were bothered by claim agents offering to get money due the government for a fee. It would seem that the government could, and should, put a stop to this sort of thing in a more drastic way than by withholding information. If laws do not ex

ist to stop such activities they should be passed at once

suppression or tne addresses in casualty lists will not stop their operations since the addresses will be obtainable promptly in every locality, it will be noted that

while the French advised a change in policy that would

avoid giving exact information to the enemy, the plan for

the suppression of addresses seems to have been worked out by the American war department.

Moment

A post-mortem statistician has discovered that pork was $30 a barrel in Michigan just a hundred years ago. Which is the height of something or other, but wc can't think just what. The output of beer is to be again reducedthis time by 30 per cent, whicn leads our old friend, Col. Walter J. Davis, to remark: "Put away the little growler That our papa used to rush. Ileer grows weaker and eke scarcer. And we can't support a lush. I'apa, he is on the wagon. So is ma and Sister Nell: Doth the boys are in the army. War is just what Sherman said." Our father wielded well The Sword of Bunker Hill. It's up to us to get The sword of Junker Bill. The German bombing raids on Paris fcliouldn't worry Secretary Baker much, after the way he was bombarded here at home. They had a sixty-mile gale in Washington the other day and never noticed it, they are so accustomed to the terrific gales in congress. THK THRIFT STAMPS WILL STICK TO IT UNTIL WE WIN THE WAR. The way it looks now, we will be pretty well prepared when the war Is over, even If we weren't when it started, and that won't be a bad idea either. When everybody else is groggy, we will be hitting our hardest. According to Director McAdoo's latest ruling, upper berths must be saved, and no man will be allowed to buy a whol section on one ticket. That's right. Save the uppers. Save all of them, so far as we care. We never want one. BEING ON OUR UPPERS IS NOT A PLEASANT PROSPECT. Oldeat Inhabitants. Seth Bull of East Liverpool, Ohio, says he can remember when folks used to eat a lot of eggs at Easter time. Grandma Perkins of Sleepy Hollow, jN. V., claims she can remember when i the butcher used to throw in a pound

of liver with an order for a half pound of bacon. These old folks probably mean to tell the truth, but one's memory often plays tricks in old age.

SKATE

TUESDAY, THURSDAY and SATURDAY

DINNER 5 TORI EX The congressional , party brought back many stories from the fighting fronts In France. "At a camp for German prisoners behind the British lines. said a member of the party in Washington, "a detail was called out for some ditch digging. None of the British guards could apeak German and none of the Germans seemed to be able to understand a word of English. "Under the circumstances it was difficult to give orders, and the "Tommie' had a terrible time showing the prisoners what they wanted done. For this reason they drove the diggers a little harder, perhaps, than the union rules allow. "Finally one big German, his face aglow with perspiration dropped his shovel, straightened up painfully and said in a tone of genuine disgust: '"Ach! Why in h-1 did I ever leave Baltimore!'"

A ' nrosDerous farmer of the old
