REPUBLIC IS CRY OF SOCIALISTS IN REICHSTAG LONDON, April 2. There were ntorniy scenes in tho rebhstag Friday according to a Iteuler dispatch from Amsterdam when socialist deputies foroshadowed tho establishment of a republic and demanded that the rolchstag havo larger powers In the foreign policy. Dr. F.dunrd David, tho socialist leader Is quoted by tho Cologne Ga zette as saying: "My party has addressed uh appeal to foreign socialists for peace- with out annexation. It has been rejected. The French want absolutely to annex Alsace-Lorraine." lie declared that the Imperial chan cellor's words directed to the new rulers or Hussla had transgressed the n.

The reblislag must have the1 right to a voire In the conclusion of alliances, peace treat leu and derlain-, tlons of war. The Imperial chancel lor must be dlsniussed when the relchtag demands It." I Shouts of "lilgli treason" Inter rupted llerr I.edebour, and the presl- p RESIDENT WILSON will sprak to oonffrpss this afternoon. No one knows what the message will be. If the voice of America, however, is heard above the shriek of the pacifists, the muttering of the hyphenates and the wail of the slackers, it will be for war against the rotten old autocracy that for selfish greed plunged the world into a niaelstorm of blood and has increased the horrors by an inconceivable relapse to barbarism, and extended the ca tastrophe to neutrals with a ruthlessness born of despera tion. The United States' reply to German aggression, to the war being waged against this country by Germany, should be a declaration of war against Germany and the declara tion should be followed by placing all of our tremendous resources of men and material in the prosecution of the war that this hideous Frankenstein of militarism that in a futile attempt to bestride the world like a colossus, has made of it a slaughter pen, and a chamel house, may for ever be extinguished and that democracy may forever tri umph over autocracy. Such action by tho United States would hasten the end of the war. It would demonstrate that the people of the world are united to crush autocracy. It would sound 'the death knell of the llohenzollern and Ilapsburg dynasties, which for 500 years have made Europe a shambles. It would usher in the new era in which there will be no more kings and no more wars, with nations freed from feudal ists bondage to solve the problems of humanity. The United States lias never gone to war save to estab lish or vindicate liberty. In a war with Germany we would be fighting the same principle of tyranny and oppression that we fought in 1776. We do not fight for spoils or for territory we fight for humanity. American citizens of German birth or ancestry should remember that it was to csenrm nntocvnpv rvrrmmr nn,i lack of opportunity that they or their fathers came from Germany to America. In the Avar between the United States and Germany, it will be their opportunity to do their part in freeing their own kinsmen in the fatherland, from autocracy, tyranny and hick of opportunity, which drove Germans to America. It will be a war to free the German people and make possible the continuance of the German nation, for the war must continue until Germany is demo cratized to insure the future safety of the world either democratized or ruined. There can be no peace for the world as long as Prus sian militarism bestrides it, as loner as Prussian mitoer.nev is striving at world dominion,' as 0ng as dynasties count for more than people. The world can no longer tolerate the existence of a nation that nermits itself to ln o-nvoi-nrvl by a caste that is without conscience and which refuses j. : i i ; . i. i i 1 1 i , . . . 1 io recognize csiamisiiea jaw, tne loundation or civiliza tion for such a nation is a menace to the rest of the na tions. It violates treaties and pledges, invokes savage ter rorism, murders women and children, treats friendly na tions with treachery, and in its obession to conquer and enslave the world, proves a maniacal monster, knowing no law of God or man, save its own lust for power. Such arc not Gorman characteristics they arc char acteristics imposed upon Ihc nation by the ruling militar ist ic caste but as long as the Gorman people give slavish loyalty to their false leaders, they will continue to be out lawed by the world they out rage. The fate of the German people is in their own hands. A democratic Germany would give expression to the ideals of justice, progress and peace, the ideals of democ racy throughout the world, and such a Germany would have nothing to fear from other nations, because they have nothing to fear from it. Aside from the world struggle of democracy, the Unit ed States must declare war in order to protect its citizens and preserve its ideals or "sow within itself the seeds of dissolution." Tlu transgression of American rights, the destruction of American lives, force us to compel that re spect for our fiag Unit autocracy has denied.

Free cultivation Is desirable and the plants should be kept Browing rapidly. On tho other hand, many growers believe that fresh stable manure should not be used for eggplants, and that the land should not contain nnfermented vegetable matter to any large extent. A dozen good healthy plants should supply enough for the average-sized fumlly throughout the season. WASHINGTON', D. C, April 2. Sweet corn, to bo at Us best, should ho eaten within a few hours after it is piiki'd, for its sugar content dis appears very rapidly after it is re moved from the garden. For this reason ami because of its very gen eral popularity, it is an excellent vegetable to grow In the home gar den, it should bo planted on rich laud ami cultivated In the same man ner as field corn, lieginning as soon ..s the soli Is warm, successive plant ings may be made every two or three weeks until late summer. Another method of prolonging the supply is to plant early, medium, and tale va rieties. The seed should be planted about two Inches deep In drills throe fert apart, ami thinned to a single stalk every 10 to 14 inches. the varieties recommended by the specialists in the V.

The last named variety hits the largest ears and Is the most productive. Sweet corn should bo planted on rich land.

Chalmers 7-Passenger Touring Car Price $1350 Detroit Chalmers pistons are made from one of the lightest and highest-grade metals obtain able Lynite, a special alloy of aluminum. Most cars use heavy cast iron pistons. Much cheaper. Much reduced efficiency. 12l-Ounce Pistons Chalmers pistons weigh only twelve and a half ounces each. About one-third the weight of cast iron pistons. Each one of these Chalmers pistons is true to its die. All pistons are exactly equal in weight. No greater variation than J4 -ounce is tolerated in. any of the reciprocating parts of the Chalmers. Importance of Lightness A light piston insures smoothness and power. Light er pistons allow other motor parts of corresponding light ness. Lynite pistons reduce the strain on the bearings 160 pounds per square inch over the cast iron piston. The wonderful smoothness of the Chalmers at all speeds is largely due to the lightness of the pistons. So also is' the motor's remarkable power. Compression Power Chalmers pistons are pro vided with three rings of uniform tension, each three sixteenths of an inch wide. This means better compres sion more power. Below the lowest ring there are oil relief holes to prevent any excess of oil from reach ing the combustion chambers. The above is what we mean by quality in Piston. The hind of quality you need in the pistons in the car you buy. And the hind of quality you GET in the Chalmers.
