GERMANY has boon openly waging war against the
United States since the resumption of unlimited sub
marine warfare. 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. Tn snlutainrv rule r,.n nnt h

the United Slates, If a nation it is, cannot endure, becnuso It Is built

such sickening results as ono might legitimately anticipate. In Germany
wo no not allow such shallow seiilliuenlallsm to sway our Judgment. We
know that the kaiser anil his lieutenants, tho kings and grand dukes of the
empire nlono are girted with the necessary qualities to Insure a stable form
of government. Heredity has developed in them tho nobler traits possessed
ineir progenitors, until iney navo necnino u superior class union;; a sup
erfor nice.
"It Is to bo hoped that from now on all Germans will remain united
until Germany has fiillillled her sacred mission, viz: The elimination of tho
until races by assimilation, with tho result that tho earth shall finally bo
peopled by a strong villi raco of men, who will not shrink from using; the
sworn, lino ino sKiiiuii surgeon, when it becomes necessary to preform

Preparing the Garden Soil .
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.
Frequently, it is advisablo also to
apply coinmeroial fertilizer, especial-

ly phosphate. 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
