TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1917 Dtftirin* Peace We Stand By Preaident Wilson, and Too, We Stand by Bryan! Advice* from Washington arv to the affect thal Germany seeks to ivo|**n with this country the subject of the l - boat campaign she is directing affainst England, with a view to ascertaining upon what basis she may procetni with out offending this country and bringing about hostilities. This has the first appearance of a •omeufmt preposterous position on tier-' many’s part, and upon this first appear ance the jingoes of the l nited State* art basing an opinion that it is either a play for time on the part of Berlin, or a trumped-up arrangement of the coun try’s pacifists, led by William Jennings Bryan. With the country at the point of war, it is but natural to suppose that any op portunity to avert war without the sac rifice of our rights would be welcome, | but the manner in which the rumor of overtures from Berlin has been received by the jingo crowd indicates that we have in this country, in addition to our round ly-condemned peace-at-any-price advo cates, our war-at-any-price advocates. As uetween the two there ought not to be much doubt as to which constitute* the greater menace. Germany asks the United State* to suggest how she may proceed with a ruthless submarine campaign against her enemies and not give offense to the United States. It has to be readily admitted that it' Is not the ]iart of this country to tight Germany’s battles and that it would ap proach an unneutral act if we should go to the trouble of drawing up the plans and specifications of an attack to be made by one enemy country against an other. Our position as a neutral has to be that any plan of attack is satisfactory to us. providing we are satisfied as to its legality. But why shouldn’t a request from Germany for a further consideration of j her U-boat campaign and the possibili-; ties of grave consequences affecting the j relations between the two governments,. be welcomed, if for no other reason than the opportunity presented for us to re peat our position, provide against any possible misunderstanding, demonstrate that we mean business and by our very | ftmnes.s convince Germany that if we are found at war with her, the blame will rest upon her own head. Letters and telegrams are pouring in upon Washington with a tone that is de-j WWHTtrfce. There is a disposition on the part of the jingo press to discount these letters, if not to disregard them entirely, in the belief that Bryan, as remarked, is re sponsible for them and for the peace sen timents which they contain. Von Bemstorff » charged with being s part of this dreadful peace conspiracy, the object of which, we are told, is to divide the country and split the support of the president. Bryan is somewhat “notorious" in the eyes of those whom he offends at this time, for this same tendency to bring about divisions, but upon every occasion the sheep have always bran found »»n on*- side and the goats on the other, appar ently sensing at once their respective places. It might be recalled at this time, that the last bit of dividing by Bryan was that of the Democratic party, whf*n he routed the goats and succeeded in bring ing pressure to bear from the people back home to enable him to secure the nomination of the first Democratic ore-i --dem to have served two terms, consecu tively. since Andrew Jackson. And it might Ik? recalled at this time that the president whose course was *uj>- ported at the polls last November ha remarked that “Mr. Bryan and I *.« k the harm* ends; we differ'only in th« means of reaching that end.” Thus we have the end desired b> Br\- an already ratified b> the biggest popu lar vote ever given a president of the United States, and we find him criticised and snarled at only because there are those w-1.0 disagree witi. him as to t nt ;jw of reaching it. t T** on’ it seek* :* j Ep L. 1 e a l\f • y t. u ;v. ** * an BL Time® wants peace «nd conse quently s*and« with President Wilson. The Times wants a fair show for the president and stands, consequently, with jbCharlev Evans Hughes, who say* “sup b port the president." f Thu Times wants peace and uuiso* jquently grasps at the straw of hope that ‘Germany may consider a modification of J her communication on the way to this country from Germany that may result in !a U-lioat campaign to the point of full respect for American rights on the seas and the continued friendly relations of i Germany and the United States. The “New-Born” Firs: Is Only for a Select Few I ggs used to lx* good or bad. The good eggs were fresh and the had eggs were stale. Not so now. There art* as many varieties of eggs as th« re are j*w.ket- to pay (or not to pay) for them. There ar** “fancy eggs" which does not mean Easter dyes or anything so vulgar. There are “strictly fresh*’ and this might be supposed, by the uninitiated to j : be the acme of eggdom. Not so. Then are “new born." which does not mean that the young chick is nearly j ready t»» hatch by any means, but that, thr egg was laid Ibis minute, or some-1 thing like it. But this is not the quintessence, tho; we in Detroit might U* satisfied. In New York if you are a "four hun dred” or even a “five hundred,” you can ( >nly be properly nourished by new born i.*ggs of a certain variety—say Leghorn. Cochins, Wyandotte*, etc. When you consider how much just plain eggs, laid anywhere fr-m a month to six weeks ago cost: when you realize what the variety so charmingly named “new bom” (bought in threes for in valid and l«abie-) do to a dollar bill, you w ill not be surprised w hen you learn j that “new lorn Leghorn eggs" affected by the New Yorker, who lives in or J near the sacred precincts of Fifth-ave.. j should bring the tiny sum of (shut; your eves and cover tin your ears! $3 ner dozen, or 25 cents each. When» there i* added to thi* the cost of serv ing, the overhead, rent, or cost of in vestment on Fifth-ave., butler, cook, housemaid, waitress, china, glassware, table linen. COAL and salt, and instead ■>f the egg without salt, of which the old proverb has much to say, the aver age person would be likely to take the salt without the egg.

The Seamy Side of War ■ V DR. FRANK CRANE (Copyright, 1915. by Krank Crane) It is not news. It is an old, old story, and Cod foririve this world! It is not 'nous. The last move of Mackensen, or speech of I*loyd-< ieonfi', or blasphemy of some royal vicegerent of Cod sitting cod dling his egotism on the hacks of the : people, is new. , But it’s going on just the same, the horror of hunger, the slow diath by frost und fever, among the innocent victims of ,the unspeakable Turk. \S hen war’s dogs are loosed no one can t«dl where they will raven. When the accursed vanity and stupidity of the ruling class of Christian I'urope decided to s<*ek glory by the red rut of war they called in the Turk. Blind; bigoted and j blood-thirsty he took the opportunity to glut his biood-lust upon the unoffending Armenians. Without excuse, from no military necessity, and moved by pure tiatiolism the Turkish authorities have fai!«*n with wolfish ferocity t’i*on those victims of their dislike and the result is ja chapter of horrors in this twentieth i century that exceeds anything we read >f the age of Nero. Thousands have been massacred. They were most fortunate. Their living fel lows drag out an existence that is hell. Old men unfit for military service arc breaking stone or doing some other hard work, on food barely enough to keep them alive, driven to their tasks by mer ciless gendarmes. The population of whole regions has been forced to emigrate. Their corpses line the mads. A’l along the Kuphrates are enramp ments of the exiled ones. The victims, torn from their homes, r«>bbed of their possessions, shut up in oj>en pens like cattle, without shelter, suffer the tor ments of the damned, from hunger and disease while armed guards stand ready to shoot them should they attempt to es cai’e. An eye-witness tells of seeing in differ ent plai «*s mx who had escaped and were dying in the desert, in the Last hiccups of agony, while hungry dogs waited around for them to sink into quiet, when they would leap en them and devour them. He counted some 4,500 Armenians b*- tween the town of Meskene and the Eu phrates, living phantoms, receiving but little food, and often going three or four lays without anything at all to eat. The children especially are subject to drt*a*iful dysentery, for they devour eagerly all they can find —herbs, eartii,'- md even excrement In one small tent he saw about 4f>o :hildr n packed in i«*ll mell, covered with filth and vermin. They died like Hies. At one place where his carriage stop ped he saw a numl>er of women, so gaunt and wasted they could scarcely move, -earthing in the offal of horses for barley seeds to feed on. He gave them some bread. They threw themselves on it like dying dogs and ate voraciously with retchings and epileptic tremblings; the news spread, and over 200 other human animals, who had received no food for seven days, rushed from the camp, ex tending their skinny arms, imploring with heart-cries a piece of bread. And so on! / It seems unlxdicvable, unthinkable. This is the seamy side of war.
