DEFIES THE WORLD AND GOD
yesterday, and a tacking of the spade and garden rake
on the first of the three days the citizens are supposed
to devote to gardening. In every block in the residence
districts could be seen the evidences of the back to the
farm movement. Hubby had the spade, sometimes, un
less some of the boys were big enough to handle it; and
the lady of the house was there with her head tied up in
a sling and busy as the bugs will be later in the garden
patch. The same condition prevailed this morning w ith
perhaps a slight falling off in the number answering the
call. This was quite natural for foiks who are not used to
that kind of work are apt to find 'hemselves a trifle sore
after a day of it. Tomorrow will be the last day. for a
short time; but now that the garden is planted it will
have to be taken care of, and that means many mornings

story without comment stating the bare facts, and back
ing them up with statements from officials and city
ordinances. This is a story of a deliberate attack on the
French especially. Today at 3 o'clock they started for a
trip through the west and a visit to some of the larger
cities. They will learn on this trip of the resources of
institution of marriage. According to this writer, giving this country, which despite their general knowledge of
- . . t i . Ill 1 1 . . -
birth to an lllegitmate child is considered a .praiseworthy ! tnem, will prove the surprise of their lives. They will
act, and girls are encouraged to bear children so the sup
ply of material for the kaiser's armies may be kept up.
The cities provide physicians and hospitals for these girls,
give them a vacation of a month under full pay and assist
in caring for the babies. Due to this encouragement and
that the girls are taught to believe it is a patriotic duty
to raise children for the Fatherland, the birth rate of
illegitimates has increased in the cities from lo per cent
in 1914 to 45. per cent in 1916.
Dr. Engleman, one of the aldermen of Berlin stated
there were .1,000,000 illegitimate children born in Ger
many since the war started, and that this number was in
creasing in Berlin at the rate of 20,000 annually. "Only
a vigorous, rich increase in childbirth can make up for
the enormous loss of life which the war brings us daily,''
said this same doctor.
In striking at marriage, as he does, the kaiser is strik
ing at the very foundation of civilization. He lays the
foundation instead for an unmarried, and therefore a
homeless world. He calls on the divine function of
motherhood to supply the material for "his soldiers." He
would destroy the homes of Germany, break up the family
relation and strike the word virtue from the German
vocabulary for the sole purpose of perpetuating Prussian
militarism. To put it brutally he would use the German
girls just as a stock breeder does his cows, to increase his
herds. While the German soldier is at the front offering
his life for the maintainence of this Prussian system, his
kaiser would prostitute his wife and his daughters to
raise more soldiers. Surely the German soldier must have
a patriotism different from any other, to stand this kind
of treatment.
It is not difficult to cause such conditions as Ackerman
describes; but when the war is over what? When a na
tion's women are taught that chastity is wrong how long
will it be after this lesson has been well learned, before
its effects are counteracted? The ruthless submarine
warfare is a defiiance of the laws of civilized nations, but
the teaching of utter disregard of the martial relation is
a defiance of the laws of God. If anything w7as needed to
emphasize the necessity of utterly destroying the rule of
Prussianism this surely should suffice.
Among others to be jolted by the war is the long with us
hobo. With bridges guarded and suspicious characters
forbidden to approach them the bvakebeam Pullman will
fall into disrepute. The lordly tramp who like the wind,
"bloweth where he listeth," will have to quit the blowing
stunt and remain in one place or take across country. He
can't even count the ties any more for the hardhearted
militiamen will not permit him to cross the bridges, the
brakebeam must be abandoned and there is no place for
the tramp unless he goes to work, Just now there is no
room for him either, for in these days a man must either
work or go hungry. There is plenty of work and enlist
ment offices or conscription headquarters will be numer
ous enough that even a tramp can find them, or they him.
A dispatch from Amsterdam yesterday stated Chile,
too, had severed relations with Germany. Just why this
was done, if it was done, is unknown. According to
recent statements, Germany and Chile had a secret treaty,
which bound Germany to aid the latter in grabbing some
of Argentine's territory. Maybe it was a desire to placate
Argentine that this move was made.
know when they have seen the valleys of Ohio, the rich
tarms ot Indiana and the great corn fields of the
prairies of Illinois and Iowa, that America's boast that
she can feed the world is no idle one. Despite crop short
age there would be no trouble in supplying the allies
were it not that in doing so we are also called on to
furnish millions of bushels of grain and countless tons of
other foodstuffs as playthings for the German submarines.

Before my beautiful baby bov was
a week old I had learned to love Tom 'a
mother. All her dignity which had
seemed so fearsome to me, her critical
attitude, had vanished in her delight
at the birth of her first grandchild;
and her sympathy and care for his
mother. No one coma have been more
tender, more thoughtful thun she was
during the days of illness. And her
delight in her sturdy grandson, who
she declared a dozen times a day was
the image of Tom at the. same age knew
no bounds. My own mother could have
done no more, meant no more to me than
did she.
I shall never forget, the first time
I called her "mother.". The baby was
about a week old when she brought
him to me, her lace illuminated with
love and tendem
baby. . . . 1 " "
Isn't he sweet mother?" J asked,
almost embarrassed.
"Yes, daughter," she replied'" and
bending down she kissed me. Often
since when I have heard of the un
happiness caused by the feeling be
tween a mother-in-law and a wife I
havo wondered if they really under
stood each other, or w-ero i
the dark as I was before baby came.

What a time we had deciding on a
name for this to we three the most
wonderful baby, ever bom. Finally
with a laugh Tom, and his mother,
who had waited to rihme him after
lorn s father, gave in to rne and ho
was christened "Thomas Randall,

But as soon as I was able to again
attend to my household duties, the
question of ways and means loomed
large before me. I wanted MY baby
to have everything any other baby
had. And I myself needed many new.
