As a matter of fact Germany has really been waging war against the United States since the out break of the European conflict, when the Prussian jugger assumed the role of an Lsliinael among the nations. Any one of the thousand overt acts perpetrated, would in or dinary times have caused a declaration of war. Some 200 American lives have been sacrificed to Prus sian ruthlessncss and several million dollars of American property destroyed. American rights have been trampled upon along with those of the rest of the world in the mad lust for world dominion. America has been patient and long suffering, making clue allowance lor abnormal conditions generated m a world at war. Insult, insolence and arrogance have how ever only increased until Germany is now openly waging war upon tne United States by sinking without notice and in defiance of international law unarmed American ships, thus violating the laws of nations and of humanity. The time has arrived when the nation can no longer tolerate German aggression, when self-respect and na tional pride demand vigorous defense, when the govern ment must guarantee to its citizens the protection and safety for which it was organized. President Wilson has justly broken off diplomatic relations with the aggressor, is arming ships for protection, mobilizing the armed forces and the national resources of the nation for defense of American rights and called congress in extraordinary ses sion to recognize the state of war existing and supplying the money needed to maintain national standards. The conflict is more vital to the world than our peace-at-any-prize zealots seem able to comprehend. It is the final struggle between autocracy and democracy the Armageddon of feudalism. There can bo no permanent peace until the cause of the war and most other wars, is removed and the cause of the war is autocracy, claiming divine right for privilege to exploit the people. The conflict is a matter of life and death to democracy. Any result that leaves autocracy in the saddle in Germany, means the never-ending aggressions of autocracy in other countries. Fortunately the German policy has "been such as to alienate and unite the democracies of the world against her. China, the youngest republic, the United States, the oldest republic, have been forced by the law less aggression to join the democracies of Europe in their struggle against a world cncirclinir autocracv. in which human effort and efficiency become the hand-maidens of militarism. The Russian revolution has overthrown an autocracv meaner and more ignoble than that of German v. because inefficient and incapable. And the overthrown fcudalistic Russian bureaucracy was seven-eighths German and its lntiuencc lias paralyzed Kussian war efforts by its trait orious crippling of military efforts. The Russian admy has been iinanced and led by the neoulc and the humbline- of Russia's incompetent autocracy unites that great nation in spirit antuact with the world league ol democracies. .iiuunirm tor Germany means a never-endmo- turmoil for the western hemisphere, for Africa and for Asia, as well as for Europe. South America is more desired as Ger man dominion than the African coast and Mesopotamia. There will be no opportunity for democracy to work out the problems of humanity as long as the Prussian iutnrcr is jamming his "kiiltur" with sword, submarine and Zeppe- iiu (town Humanity s tnroat. The real German view point is set forth in a letter writ ten to Hermann Yon tier lloehe in (lie Cincinnati Times Star, in which he savs: "Gerinnns aro the blond survivors in the last utniTOR nf tbn Rfrnpil fn- existence, tho sunermen. heralded hv Niotixhe destined tn ruin mw nmn- uinn, owing to tneir super or attainments.

HOW TO APPLY FERTILIZERS AND LIME WHEN THE GROUND IS READY FOR CULTIVATION WASHINGTON', March 21 A sim ple test to determine when garden soil is ready for plowing or working is to take a handful of earth from the surface nnd close the fibers tigtitly on it. If the earth compact ed in this way is dry enough for cul tivation, it will fall apart when the hand is opened. This test is appli cable only to 'comparatively heavy soils, but it is these which receive the most injury if they nre worked when wet. On such soils overzenlous rrar- deners not only wasle their time, hut frequently do actual damage by at tempting to work them too early. ' After plowing or working with n spade, it is usually desirable to apply some form of fertilizer. Barnyard or stable manure, which furnishes both plant food and limniis, is undoubtedly the best, 'nnd applications of from 20 to 'JO tons to tho acre arc satis factory. The manure should he dis tributed evenly over Hie surface, nnd later worked in, with u line nnd rake.

An application of H00 to GOO pounds of acid phosphale to the acre is usually sufticient. In or der to supply potash, if this is needed unlcoched wood ashes may he distrib uted over (lie garden nt tho rate of 1000 pounds to tho acre. Wet, or leached nshes have less fertilizer value. Two thousand pounds of these should be used. In order to star! the plants early iii the spring appli cation of 100 pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda arc sometimes used. It is important, however, to remem ber that no form of commercial fer tilizer will yield good results unless the soil is well supplied with humus. This frequently may be furnished in the form of sod or other vetrelation which has overgrown a garden spot and may be turned under with n plow or spado. In certain localities it is also nd visnblc to test the sod for acidity. Kalurally moist soils nre likely lo be sour nnd in such a condition are not likely to produce the most satisfac tory crops.
