GETTING RID OP DIPLOMATS
It isn't necessary to bold any ani
mosity., ugainat,^CPpi^Ih Bby-toJ and
Von Papen, tho naval and mUHary at
taches of tho Gorman embassy whoso
.recall our government has asked for.
Their offenses have been irritating,
but it isn't likely that those gentle
men are much to blame as individuals.
They have done thou* duty BB they
saw lt;
In co sar. as thoy may have acted
?? on their" own initiative, they are
cul pablo ; but presumably their courue
of action over since they began tu
enrry tho war into America has been
. Inspired and directed from. Berlin.
. At any rate, they are thc. agents of
their government,' and tue-responsl
? ??iiiiy i-r *n c; r ? -conduct ? rests with
thoir government. "Their dismissal lo
therefore a direct rebuke to the mill
tarlst-statesmon ri Berlin who havo
not. scrupled 'o disregard American
fovcreipnt" and ride rough-shod over
American rights.
Thoro will, ot course, bo an- outcry
to the effect thst our government dlB
criml?at?a against Teuton diplomats.
: When anybody can point to a repre
sentativo ot any of the allied powers
, who has abused pur hospitality, and
y patience as ..these gentlemen havo
dono, ttie.ro should be no less delay
itt handing him his passports. Thus
far it has not been shown that any of
the at ilea nations, or their diplomatic
representatives, or their American
. nympathisers, havo subsidized disloy
alty and crime in the United .Staten
or directed a propaganda against our
Tjcnco and safety.
Berlin and Vienna should i take thia
I?r?on to hoart. In a spirit of chastise
ment rather than' indignation. Dr.

OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER ;
In Paso, Texas; a man lay ill,
in tho last stages of tuberculosis. His
; .^fe^wh? had been dol-jg washing all
.;<. day. had. gone tb town to earn a blt
more; f^r.^ her family by washing
?dishes :.c a restaurant. The two little
boys, bab four, one three, had said
goodnight to their father and tumbled
into their bcd across the room ir. tho
little, cabin.
The ftUher foll asleep and was
awakened by smoke. The root bad
caught fire from the chlmnby.* He
Xx?i^i^?^^at?i children but tho
fumen stifled his weakened voice. He
had not been able to move more than
! ulr hand for dayfi, but somehow he
managed, Inch by Inch, to drag him
self off the bed and to take a step or
two towards the children before he
i fell unconscious. Tlie children burn
I cd to death. The fathor is In a se
j rioua state. The mother la on the
j verge of a mental collapse,
i When one studies a case Uko tbirj
with a view to preventing future ac
cidents of similar type, one ls led in
many directions.
I Why did the roof catch fire? Be
leueae the cabin was so flimsily built
as to be unfit for human habitation,
I but the community was careless
enough to let humans Inhabit lt, ;
Why was tho mother away? Be
cause tho family needed her' small
earnings badly, and the community
, was careless enough to allow her to t
go out ut night on one Job after a
day spent at another one.
' Why couldn't she earn enough ot ? i
I one Job to keep the family comfor
I (aldo? Because she had not been edu
cated by the community Into any sort
i of skill. Her labor was rough and <
untrained and worth but little.
j Why couldn't the father Bupport
the family? Because he was dying of 1
the white plague. The whole country
ls carcloBK enough to let people con
tract and die of tuberculosis, a per
fectly preventable disease.
This kind of thing happens right
along every day everywhere. Often
thc circumstances aro not quito so
, ghastly, but they are bad enough.
I Fires and disease and unskilled labor j
and malnutrition and bad housing aro
all preventable. Each person thinks
it's the fault of soute one else. .
And Coln said to Jehovah "I am not j
my brother's keeper."
SENSIBLE RELIEF
A group of fashionable New York.
Women recently fellator ono of tho
ronny freak preparedness schemes
that are sweeping tho country. Their
organization, known BB the Special ]
Relief Society, Is listing summer
homes for emergency hospitals and
planning all sorts of relief work for
I the war they evidently anticipate in
tho near future
' lt ls to be wished that tholr ardor ]
and patriotism had been captivated ,
by a saner and more immediate noed.
? There 1B much In our daily life that
could very profitably occupy tho time
and attention of tho Special" Relief .
'? Hocioty. .. . ,_".r/. j
j They could begin right away by
i'opening their country homes not In
j imagination to future convalescent
' soldiers, but right now to tho many i,
convalescent turned .out cf public
: hospitals before they are quite well. -
I Without walting for a chance to sew j
shirts for soldiers, they can sow right
now for tho ixtmy of babies who need (
warm clothes before the Invasion of \
winter."
But they probably will not do any
thing ot tho sort. Thoy knew about
tho poor and needy before and have
undoubtedly belonged to - several
"charity" organizations in tho past,
havo worked frantically at them for
a while apd then dropped them for
the newest thing in relief work.
Until thoy acquire imagination and
insight enough to find the proper ap
plication ror their energies and sanity
enough to -keep their beads in any sit
uation, they will always be flying off
to organise now societies of some
sort, leaving undone tito work ot
hand.
I Somebody should organize a Special
Relief Society for tho women-aad
men-who are always so frantically
pursuing impracticable schemes to
uso up their, surplus energy and ig
noring tho humdrum services and ob
ligations of life. They ought to be
taught that these very humdrums re
quire true'patriotism and are worthy
and beautiful.. .
BRITISH PIRACY
We don't mind Brittania ruling the
wave, as long as she rule lt fairly.
We don't object to ber pre-eminence
In international trade, os long as she
gains and keeps lt in fair competition.
But we do most seriously object when
she Uses her naval power to Increase
her shipping and swell her trade, at
our expenso.. , '
The commandeering bf the Hocking
and Oenhessee for her own use by a
friendly and supposedly honest power
ls an insolent denial ot American
property rights at pea. It ls on a
par with Gorman denial o' nur rights
of lifo at sea, au! only lesa serious as
property ls subordinate in impor
tance to human rights. Que fohn ot
aggression Is no more to be tolerated
Utan the other. I
These two ships were bought from J
a Danish line by tba American Trans- :
atlantic company of lj-elaware. Thus
there was no, taint of belligerent 1
origin. They passed from ono neu? 1
. tral flag to another neutral flag. Great
j Britain entered a protest at ?
'of the transfer, charging that der- .
many owned an interest in the v?ase!.
Our department of commerce mado n
full investigation and decided (hat
there waa no ground for refusing to
udmit tlie ships to American registry
That Hhould have settled the matter
Great Britain, however, seized the~?
nt the (irst opportunity, as she has
seized many other American vessels,
and then, without even awniting judg
ment in her own prize courts, re
quisitioned them for her own trade.
Such action ?B not only In defiance
of American rights but it ia contrary
to British law. If thc British gov
ernment isn't disposed to he'd the
protests of the United States, it will
do well at Inast to heed tr 3 advice
given in tho House of Lords hy Vis
count Bryce, thc former American
nmbnssador, and Lord Landsdowne,
loader of tho conservative- party,
against abusing their power under the
plea of "necessity."
If the British government means
to follow the Karl of Portsmouth, who
urges it to "sweep away all Judicial
niceties" and all Hiich "rubbish" as
prize court law and the declaration
ai London, and resort to "the old sea
laws of our ancestors," lt is no better
than the Gorman admiralty in its re
cent, and now repudiated, period of
"frightfulness,"
Wc don't expect tho British to act
.ike piratee In dealing with Ameri
can shipping. If they persist, there
may bo a demand in this country that
we act as wo did In 1812, and treat
them ns pirates.

KED CROSS SEAL FIGURES
225,?00,000 Holiday Stickers Already
Distributed In United States.
- Few people i.;avo any conception of
the magnitude of tho T:3d Cross
cnristnias seal campaign. Hero are a
few figures that will show what a gi
gantic movement this is. Airea,ly
225,000,000 seals have been printed
and practically that entire number
distributed to agents In every state
and ?territory of the union from Alas
ka in the north to the canal zono In
tt:e south and from Porto .Rico In the
east to Hawaii In the west. Adver
tising circulars, pesters, cards, etc.,
to ?the number of severa 1 million have
also been distributed. Not less tuan
1,000,000 personal letters asking peo
ple to buy seats have been sent out.
It is estimated that the army of
workers, nearly all of whom aro vol
unteers, engaged in selling the seals
numbers well over 500,000. Tao ad
vertising an<* publicity donated to tho
campaign amounts to several hun
dred thousand dollars. Evary effort

PUT HA V UNDER COVER
Leaving Hny Exposed to Wintor
Weather ls Wasteful.
ClciuoGu c?i?cge, Dec, 7.--Au un
; usually heavy crop of. hay was made
in South Carolina, this year and on
many farms a largo quantity of this
hay has been left In stacks in the
open. In some cases this is Cria to
tho fact.that t>':e barb has been filled
and there ls no move storage space.
If this hay is baled, room for R can
probably be found In the barn by
baling enough ot that already pot.
In to allow for tho bales brought In
from the field.
To leave hay exposed to the rougTi
weather of winter is to waste a lot
of it. Where the stack ls made on
the ground and left for. a long timo,
the part of the hay near* the ground
will be spoiled. Moreover, all the
hay on tho outside .of tifo;stacie will
be weatherbeaten and . unpalatable
Baling hay not only euvos room, but
also lessens danger of fire In - the
barn...
By this time . farmers who owh
hay .presses have probably " finished
using them". These eftould bo rented
If possible by. other farmers and all
unsheltered hay baled at . the. first
opportunity.
