"GOOD BYE" IN GERMANY.
It looks as if the icrniau gov-
erumeni were determined to dis-
courage travel within the empire.
It is reported that placards are now
hung in all passenger stations or-
dering people to say their good-
bvs in (ierniaii and not in any en-
emy language. The I'tcnch "adieu"
has been commonly used in Cer-
inany. Now its Use is slliclly fur-
biililen. The ('lennau language contains
simple ea y words meaning "fare-
well" which to an outsider would
seem to be normal words lor the
departing traveler to use. But the
(ieiiu.oi gnviTiinieiit lor reasons
unknown does not permit its meek
citiens to y-.c -IK'li wonK as "lebc-
uohl." Instead they are tuld to
make their choice of parting words
from the following list :
"( jolt lie-chnelze 1 ieh ; I lo'.t
segne I'ich: auf w iedcrschcu ; auf
b:.ldige-w iedet'M hen : auf sehrbahl-
igesw tedi r-eheu" ; and "auf ein
lech theriges frohcsbaldigcs wicr-c-ben."
And while t tying 10 decide
between these teiidei phrases the
woiilil-lie traveler no iouit lets 111.-
train come and go without him.
It is ui) lunger possible to joke
about I 'i 11 ssjanism even m its most
absurd maiiifestat ions. Think of the
dumb su!iini--ioii of a people that
can be made to say it - personal
farewells in accordance with a gov-
ernment phi a-e list !

THE ANGELUS OF STRIFE
( liv !". Woodruff)
There's a little (own about oil miles south of llirniinlium on
Louisville & Nashville called Vtrheiia.
The town is well named.
It is redolent of the old fashioned southern flower. It is peopled by
simple farmer folk. Several substantial citizens of Montgomery keep
suinnicr homes there.
There are few sounds about the place. An occasional mule team
rattles down a red-clnv road drawing an empty wagon to the general
stores or bumps pleasantly back toward the Chilton County hills. Oc-
casionally a penile wind causes the leaves of the oak trees that shade
the town to sigh one of those sighs of content that men breathe after
a j;ood meal a good sermon
It is as peaceful a place
or a
:is can

Cut there's a new sound there

' U'ith heads uncovered and bowed each man. each woman eae
'each saint and each sinner repeats these words;
! "Cod bless our president our soldiers and the nation am

I When the sound begins the observance of its call is universal. Men
halt in the street; wagons are pulled up on the road; women rise from
their knitting or pause in their cookery for they have early suppers
i in Verbena the plowman halts his wink ami each repeats the prayer
j Verbena calls it "The Prayer of the Bell" and it is said that men
I who have never been know n to pray before answer its call dutifully.

And all the knighthood of romance.

The fanfare of the high in heart.
To serve by land or sea or air.
With any weapons any wear.

SPIES A BIG PROBLEM.
There Are However Some Things
That Would Go Long Way To-
ward Solution of It.
Electrical Experimenter: A man
forewarned is worth two so runs
the well-known French proverb.
Today being at war with Germany
we are facing a tremendously more
difficult problem of dealing with the
spies. And evidence is not lacking
that the latter are doing their work
quite satisfactorily to their govern-
ment just now.
When Admiral Sims took his fleet
to England Berlin knew the fact
four days ahead of the arrival of the
ships. Again when our first trans
ports were sent to France Berlin
knew that. too. days before our ships
i reached France; hence the flotilla
of submarines lying in ambush.
The ipiestion is: Tow did the
enemy get the intelligence? Our
officials frankly admit that they
don't know. Iu some quarters the
opinion prevails that the informa-
tion was sent by mail or by wire to
.Mexico in clever code of course
and thence sent aeros sthe Atlantic
over the powerful Mexico City radio
plant. This may be possible but we
much doubt it.
W'e can be certain that a nation
that attained as high a scientific de-
velopment as Germany will use sub
tler and surer means to convey
priceless intelligence. Besides the
roundabout route through .Mexico
is certainly far too slow and too
dangerous all messages being close-
ly watched by our alert officials.
No; we must look elsewhere. An
enemy usually attacks at the most
vtilueraine or exposeu spot. 1 inor-
dinately we have thousands of such
spots namely our endless coast-
lines. On the coasts of Long Island
.and Maine for instance there are
countless thousands of spots where
a human being is hardly ever seen.
There are hundreds of secluded in-
lets and sheltered spots from which
intelligence could be sent out iu a
ridiculously simple manner and
perfectly safe too. for the sender.
No; we don't think he would be
so foolish as to operate even a me-
diocre radio outfit for our navy has
too many ears. What for instance
is to prevent a spy from sending
messages daily to a submarine lying
still some ten or more miles off the
coast?'' This could be accomplished
by various methods. One is by
means of the Fesscndeli underwater
oscillator; twenty to thirty miles
can be covered very easily. And if
we don't know that this sort of
thing is going on we'll never dis-
cover
mo re
d
die spy.
that no

.nil we insist once
man in his right
a radio outfit it is
mgerous.
Then again what is to prevent
any enemy submarine from bringing
lover an electric calile ten or twenty
miles long unreeling it on a shal-
low sandbank (using a motor boat
to accomplish this) and establish-
ing a secure terminal in one of the
secluded spots on the coast? The
other end. twenty miles out in the
ocean could end in a submerged
I buoy w hile the land operator
presses bis key at certain prear-
ranged hours of the day. By means
of a nelect ro-magnet inside of the
buoy the metal shell of the hitter is
struck .spelling out the Morse or
other code signals. The sound can
be inutlled. of course to such an ex-
tent that only a submarine with
underwater microphones can hear
the sounds over a radius of a few
hundred feet.
Then by Using its own powerful
radio the submarine can send the
message across the Atlantic either
directly or by relaying it. I!y radi-
ating certain long undamped waves
detect ion becomes almost impossi
ble lor as soon as the message is
sent the I'-hoat submerges and lies
motionless for the next twenty-four
hours if necessary.
Now this may or may not be the
exact means how the trick is done;
at any rate we feel that the intelli-
gence leaves hv way of our coast
line; it is too vulnerable and too j
inviting.
The remedy? Intensified and in-I
telhgcnl coast patrols thousands
of them. Then let us sink super-
scnsiiivo microphones two or three
miles apart along our entire coast-
line. This will do two things: First
every underwater signal could be
heard no matter where; second
hostile I'-boats could lie heard
readily and accurately located.
We owe it to our soldiers to take
every precaution humanly possible.
We do not wish to wait till a score
of our transports have been sunk.

By M.
Note from Fditor Every day
sees mure American Socialist lead-
ers coming out against the stand
their party has hitherto taken to-
ward the war. They demand that
the party take its place with other
elements of the population squarely
behind President Wilson. The fol-
l :.. ....' i
lowing article uy .ir. itaranov gains
its significance from the fact that
Mr. Barauov is an influential mem-
ber of the Socialist party and for
twenty years has been oil the edi-
torial staff of the Jew ish Daily For-
ward the largest Socialist daily in
the country. Liven more significanct
is the fact that this article boldly
criticizing the pacifist elements in
the Socialist movement appeared in
the Forward of -April 9 1018 with-
out any comment or qualification.
That which is happening now on
the other side of the Atlantic is no
longer a struggle iu which classes
or nations alone are interested. All
mankind is interested in the result
of this .struggle.
It no longer is a capitalistic war.
or an imperialistic war. or a nation-
alistic war. It is a war of humanity-
It is a war between the Middle
Ages and the twentieth century be-
tween feudalism and democracy be
tween reaction ami progress be-
tween darkness and light. The war
was not such at the beginning. It
has become what it is lately. It is
possible that those that plav the
leading role in this struggle do not
understand it. The kaiser and lliu-
denburg evidently do understand it ;
they are fighting for the darkness
of the .Middle Ages. Otherwise they
would not have carried on the war
willi such enthusiasm. The states-
men of the oilier side are begin-
ning to sec this. President Wilson
seems to understand best of all that
the allies are fighting against the
dark forces of medievalism.
To a war that has assumed such
a character only weak theorists
peanut politicians and narrow-
minded egotists can remain neutral.
Living beings men and women who
think must take a stand for the
Germans or against them. And
THE WAY OUT
The allies realize it takes time for
a uemocratic nation such as Amer-
ica to pull itself together and get
into war harness. We cannot im-
mediately send shiploads of air-
planes munitions and trained men.
But we can immediately send the
allies shiploads of wheat. To save
wheat requires no machinery no
long months ot wailing. All that is
necessary is the willingness to eat
so uk thing tl.se in its place.
The allies are lighting and dying
for us. willing and ready to hear
the full brum of the war until we
can prepare ourselves to shoulder
our share of the burden. All that
I hey ask is that w e should sustain
their bodies while they do this.
) i. inconceivable under the cir-
cumstances that we should be un-
willing to give them our wheat
ye-" to the last pound if necessary.
Certainly we can get along without
wheat pastry and desserts and as
for wheat bread we can get along
without this. too. by eating com.
hat It y. buckwheat or rice not breads
for one meal a day. and the other
meals eating iore of rice hominy
and otatoes in place of a patt of the
ordinary amount of wheat bread.
INptcially does the latter vege-
tab'e offer a "way out." Give your
family plenty of potatoes and let
them go without bread entirely.
"But my family will get tired of
so many potatoes" you say.
There is no need of this com-
plaint tor there nre hundreds of
ways to disguise the humble potato
which can play such a big part iu
winning the war if we will only let
it. The following are but two of
the hundreds:
Potato Peanut Loaf.
One pint mashed potatoes. 1 cup
ground peanuts or l-J cup peanut

HUMANITY
Baranov.
thoughtful people can take only one
stand: Down with the military and
autocratic beast of Germany and
Austria. And one program: War
until the twentieth century is vic-
torious over the Middle Ages un-
til democracy has shattered imperi-
alism until" progress has crushed
reaction until light has drowned the
darkness. And until the human
race has been made secure forever
against feudalism reaction and
darkness all without regard to
classes and parties must stand
united and fight on the side of
progress. Democracy is light.
Progress is in danger. The future
of the human race is at slake. To
look down upon this gigantic strug-
gle at such a time from philosophic
heights and quibble or even con-
demn both sides alike is more than
idiocy. It is criminal .
.And in such a time Victor Bergei
of Wisconsin declares that if he is
elected to the United States sen-
ate he will demand that our coun-.
try withdraw its armies from F.u-i
rope. We have no doubt but thatj
he earnestly means it just as Scheid-j
cmann earnestly means what he
says just as the chatterer Trotzky
earnestly means what he says. But
to withdraw the .American army
from F.urope at this moment means
help the German junkers drown thej
democracies ot Prance England)
and Italy in blood and finally;
when they will have made away
with these to put back Nicholas
Romanoff on the Russian throne.
Who can fail to undertsand this
now? Everyone now admits that
if this government had not enter-
ed the war a year ago then it would
have to do so now.
Are the Socialists standing out-
side the human race? Can they
win when the human race loses?
Do the Socialists expect lo initiate
the Socialist order in heaven and
not upon the earth. ' .nu wncu
the whole civilized world lies under
the heel of the German junkers do
the Socialists expect to establish
democracy and brotherhood tindwr

burg? When ready to use season them
