"The military masters under whom Germany is ideedin?. see very clearly to what point fate has brought them. If ihey fall hack or are forced hack an inch, th .ir power both abroad ami at home will fall to pieces like a house of cards. It is their power at home they are thinking about now more than their power abroad. It is that power which is trembling under their very feet; and deep fear has entered their hearts. They have but one chance to perpetuate their military poer or even their controlling political influence. If they can seurr peace now with th? immense advantage still in their hands which they have up to this point apparently pained, they will have justified themselves before the German people; they will have Kind by force what tTiey promised to Kain by it; an immense expansion of German power, an immense enlargement of German industrial and commercial opportunities. Their prestige will he secure, and with their prestige their political power. If they fail, their people will thrust them aside; a government accountahle to the people themselves will he set up in Clermany as it has heen in England, in the United States, in France, and 111 all the reat countries of the modern time except Germany. If they succeed they aie safe and Germany and the world are undone; if they fail Germany is saved and the world w ill he at peace. If they succeed, America will fall w ithin the menace. We and all the rest of the world mu-t remain armed, as they will remain, and must make ready for the next step in their agression; if they fail, the w or.d may unite for peace and Germany may be of the union." We are lighting the German people's battle then as well as our own. or that with our allies. It is not a war between peoples but a war aqainst the German military masters, under whose thumb the German people are beins crushed while they are blindly fighting to keep their masters from being crushed. The president has left little more to be said. He covers the whole ground. Germany realizes that the United States has entered the war, and her military masters the autocracy are steeling themselves to save themselves from the downfall which that entrance prophesies. They are fighting for peiice, now, almost as hard as they have made and are making war, believing no doubt in their ultimate defeat, and anticipating that they can save more from an unenforced than an enforced peace. Rut the United States, and the entente allies, can accept no peace that does not include the elimination of exactly those things which the German autocracy is trving so hard to save.

FIRE-FIGHTING BEES. It seems that bees may add to their list of sterlin? rpialities that of cool nerve in the face of danger. An observer of nature has found them staying by when their hive was burning, bravely fanning the honey to keep the wax combs from melting down. The outside of the hive was blackened and charred. The heat of the fire was sutticiently intense to burn away even the metal cover of the hive. Only one comb was melted, and that was the one next to the

i burning side of the

The way the oees protected the honey was by funning the combs with their wings. While the destructive lire raged on the outside, they kept the ventilating system working. Their fanning kept a steady current of air moving, driving out the warm air and drawing in the cool air. Of course, if the fire on the outside had not been eheckej bv external forces in this case it was

J probably a bucket of water thrown on by a fireman jthe work of the bees would have been useless. On th j other hand, even with the tire put out as it was, the

Somethinc has happened in the movie producing world. Instead of advertising new hints as "daring", "aud.ioi'iUfi", etc.. producers aie announcing them as "clean ". "vv hulesme", "for all the family", just as if the clean tilms were really the more popular.

J In the pa.-t. producers have complained that they ! couldn't put on clean films because the public demandj ed excitement, thrills, and slightly questionable stories. ! The public wondered a little at this, but 'n its usual ( meek wa n didn't say much. A large proportion of ' movie fans fell off. however, and even those who actually 1 raved the excitement begun to be bortd by the ! abnormal tpe offered them. J S- now it's to be clean tilms. There can be lota of "pep". The American public really likes that just as it like jeal thrills. But if producers have become as wi-e as they seem to be. there won't be th cheap and degrading thrills of a vear a so.

HOROSCOPE SATURDAY, .UWr. 16, 1917. Astro'ogy reads this as an unfortunate day, for Mars. Saturn. I'ranu?. and Venus are all in evil place. It l a day in which to cuard against dicouragem "nt and depression, for planetary influences all tend to a pessimistic outlook on life. .Mars rules with power, makinc for growth of the military spirit and increase of patriotism through emphasis on national danKeif. The suns give foreknowledge of a period of many army problems in which questions concerning promotions and assignments of othcets will brini? about criticisms in the public print? as well as among soldiers. Under this rule of the stars me 1 past 40 are believed to be at a disadvantage. Veterans will be superseded everywhere by the young, for this is written In the skies and it applies not alone to the llghtins: strength of the c ountry, but to every branch of activity. t'ranus in adverse mood is supposed to make likely damage through explosions, and both NewYork and Washington have a sinister direction of the stars. Women should he exceedingly careful while this sway continue' as they may speak and act unwisely. While the planets presage illnesses of many :sorts. especially diseases of the nerve. the seers pror "lesy through the growth of knowledge of mental control. Socialists are warned of danger through wronu' leadership of peace advocates. Kiots are indicated and women as well as men may be involved. This is a most unlucky day for contracts or partnerships and it will be well to delay signing papers of any sort. Plotters of every kind gain power while the stars have such sway as rules this day's horoscope. Persons whose birthdate it is uhould beware of their conduct with the opposite sex during the comingyear. They may expect anxiety over money matters. Children horn on this day may have troubles 'n both business and domestic affairs, but they may enjoy periods of success and happiness. They are likely to be investigators and fond of experimental science. (Copyright. KMT.) Diseases and Insects Menaces To the Eggplant I)iseae and insects both will conspire to ruin your ei;g plants, if oii uo not practice garden preparedness, advises today's bulletin to the home gardener, issued be the national emergency food pardon comI mission. The only incurable disease that attacks the healthy plants in th? time of prime growth, is blight or wilt. The whole plant droops and wilts when this disease starts. It should then be pulled up and burned. As with all other incurable and contagious vegetable diseases, it is recommended that loo gardener next vear crow other kinds of vegetables on the around where infected plan In grew this year. Anthracnose is a less dtirieult disease to control when it attacks the egg plant. This disease shows dark shrunken spots on the fruit and the leaves crack and split. It vou spray the plants with bordeaux when this disease makes its first apoearanc and repeat every ten days, it may be successfully chfeked. Leaf spot disease is also often found among ecg plants. The fungus causing this disease produces brown spots on the leaves with small black specks on the spots. If this disease is at all destructive you should use Bordeaux spray. Po no! grow ei; plants on the same ground next year. IJordeaux is a good spray t - use regularly on eg.; plants. It will not only check any developing disease. hut it will keep the worms and hettlc.s from the crop. The Ilea beetlle is especially attached to the eg plant. This is a tiny, jumping l.eettle which eats the leaves and can completely destroy the foliage, but docs nt affect' the fruit. The Colorado potato hug is as I fond of the esg plant as of the po tatoes.

BITS OF INFORMATION In his deathbed delirium Napoleon kept murmuring "Head of the Army!" The last words of King George's grandfather, prince consort, were "Good little wifie!" and no one deserved them better than Queen Victoria. Americans in some mvsterious way have gained the impression that the national food of Mexico is chili con came. a hot composition of peppers and meat. Americans also hear much about frijoles and tortillas, the rirst being a preparation of beans boiled and then fried, and the second being a preparation of (ornmeal cakes somewhat resembling griddle cakes. Ask a Mexican what the national dish of his country 1. and he will no doubt answer "lole de tuaiulgla."

Five Minute Talks By National Leaders

L.x-congressma n John .1. Lent ot Columbus. Ohio president of the American Insurance union, was tepponsible for he first organization of "dry democrats" in the United States, formed last .January. In the following article, written at the request of The News-Times, he tells why he believed prohibition, woman suffrage and insurance working together some day will banish war by ending human w.T.t on earth. Hy lohn .1. Ixmt., Former Congressman from hir. Society and government have fought their way step by step to 1 free press, fre? school, fiee speech and a free pulpit, knowing that all four of these agencies are necessary to promote and procure a correct public opinion. We live in an ace that is curs;ed with the speed craze in formingopinions as well as driving automobiles. Shallow pates come to a conclusion on a f?w facts. Opinions of today may be as far wrong as were those of the past. Half a century ago public opinion on opposite sides of the Mason and Dixon line justified a Civil war in which hundreds of thousands of men murdered each other. Today public opinion on either side would brand a man a traitor who would suggest that th? controversy over states' rights be opened up again. Universal education. through a free press, free school, free speech and a free pulpit is enriching and ennobling- the average mind and equipping it to practice the deliberations of a great judicial tribunal and attain a more wholesome and righteous public opinion We now have a world-wide war demonstrating that the rulers of all these nations have not taken their own prayei s seriously, or. if they have, it demonstrates the inetlicacy of prayer and the impotency of deity. Silently, persistently, and to mo-t men unconsciously, there are three forces at work which will kill the war germ prohibition. suffrage and insurance. War. prohibition and equal suffrage will hold their places on the first page for a short time and then all three will become relics on the junk heap of a barbarous age. There will be no more tyranny of war, 110 mr -e diseases and death due to alcohol: no more serfdom for women. Insurance will remain teaching preparedness and protection against want and the fear of want. The Hottentot does not injure, civilized society does, and as society and government lift themselves above the level of the white and the black Hottentots so vill thev provide by insurance against every possible contingency that would petrify the mind of man by the fear of want. The importance of insurance wilt increase, and mankind will soon have vision enough to see that through all Hie centuries nothing has cursed the human family more than the fear of want.
