**-?4¥ : JVC^i ? >L#^ America Aroused and United Is Followmo tKe Lining Fioares .Leaders URING the spring of 1917 certain of patriots la the East, particularly to New York and Boston, did a great deal of worrying about tjie Middle and West ern states. These Easterners would come together at luncheons and commit tee meetings, and after getting into a condition of collective depression about the apathy of the country, they would fe® tppoint one of their number to act as' an oratorical commission. "Rudlger, go out there," they would say 1|o him. "Rudiger, for God's rake, go out there and f:?; *k\ touse the middle West!" And Rudiger would go #ut on his rousing 'expedition and make speeches be- "'ore commercial clubs, and at larger meetings, and ea go back home without having noticed that the iddle and Western states were already passing their -iuotas for enlistments of fighting men, whereas Rudl- mefs own state, "at that time, had filled just about, posed to poison pas or" liquid Hre, felt that lt imposed4 a reputation tor patriotism to make virulent oratori cal attacks on these "swivel-chair warriors" who were remaining out of the zone of fire--remaining tn Wash ington, with the congressmen. And so, some of the departments, yielding to oratory and other pressure* threw out many men who had learned their jobs and were .working more hours a day than any union would have allowed; and then other men, some of them far less competent, and all of them beginners, were put into the swivel chairs, and the work of r;/. the war was thereby Just so much disarranged and \ just so much delayed--all of which means something in the casualty lists. / A -..jt We had to learn that criticism must know its . ih own job thoroughly; it mustn't be merely "blowing •>V off steam." And enthusiasm is useful only when It ^ never takes its eye off the ball. Thousands of unfit ̂men were themselves ill used and made a useless ex- 'v'VjR£EPflvjto Sam by too, much indiscriminate en- Bee-Keeping In New Zealand. At the late annual meeting of the Walkato Beekeepers' association at Hamilton, an assistant director of the horticultural division of the depart- ment of, agriculture stated that there were 4,391 apiaries registered, in New Zealand, representing 50,523 colonies of bees. One beekeeper last year re turned 30 tons of honey, which he sold at $487 per ton, while some was sold M high as $730 per tpn, thus making It a Very prosperous industry. H Planting Trees. •PemMtflvania is creating a forestry Reserve. Trie planting of trees is pro gressing In a way that has proved most gratifying to those taking a spe cial interest in the work.

About 100,000,000 people seemed to feel that the United States did not realize that it was at Rudiger*s name Was not legion, but populace; and yet he believed ^that he was almost the only person in America who "comprehended the seriousness of the situation/' He got a somber satisfaction out of >j£ls forebodin^8* "They'll see!" he would predict "They'll wake up and * °Ut What they're ln 'or,, some'day when it's too late maybe; but I tell t* they won't know what it means I They're at war with the greatest ^military power in the world, and they're sound asleep!

Then another day •f v^uld come, when the weight of the war would lie heavily on him, and - ^fte'd see some other Rudlger playing golf, and Rudiger would watch htm 4, **#roin clubhouse veranda, and groan and scold. "The big dunderheads !"• r he would sputter. "They just can't realize itl Nobody doing anything 1 • < ^ Nobody even worrying!" f'" * Yes; almost all of us had a* touch of Rudiger ln those days. We imag- .* ,$ned that we felt the war more than our neighbors did; the thought made ^jis instable, and thelre was a vast scolding* We produced many thousands » ||)f editorials and posters founded on the YOU theme. The kaiser will - 4>et YOU If YOU don't enlist, or if,YQU.don't subscribe to the Red Cross, t u don't buy Liberty Bonds. Are YOU doing your duty! If not <j, t YOU will be painted yellow. ^ Of course this going after YOU* In such an obstreperous way was con- w ^iddered by advertising experts to be the most effective form of rousing, but 4116 of later events one may venture to express^ doubt and to ex 's press also an opinion that the YOU campaign was inspired mainly by ? ;c|ts congeniality with the nervous irritability of the time. It was Rudiger- /„-• - ^sm. Whereas, what has really made things happen on the great scale is /<• ^either the attack on YOU nor YOUR susceptibility td scolding, but the 4 ~!*VE, US and OUR spirit ; - 7 When a poster shouts at me, "YOU aren't ln the trenches," I am apt :o feel a little antagonized, and my thought may be: "What business 1s It of yours, you poster man, or advertising specialist? YOU aren't fn the intrenches, either. YOU are as safely at home as anybody, and YOU haven't the right to be screaming reproaches and warnings at me. YOU don't iJa ow wtiat *'m doin£ or trying to do for our cause. YOU seem to think It's more your war than it is mine, and YOU think YOU have to wake me jP" aQd YOU make me tired!" Or, if I'm a selfish and gnat-brained person, -the kind at whom the YOU shooting is chiefly aimed, my emotional process Way take this form: "Cut out the bull' Yelling 'YOU* isn't going to get Hue to do anything I don't want to do. You can't work ME, 'bo!" *'f Of course there were individuals who had to be shamed into war efforts, ,!*' , *nd no doubt the YOU work helped to 'get them into line, but <the really 1m- |K>rtant American pronouns have proved to be those of the first, person v Jplural. It was WE, US and OUR that reached those citizens whom we •|> formerly called "German-Americans." It was WE, US and OUR that i >i|eft nothing of the hyphen--and the hyphen had only smarted the redder I *nder the mustard plaster pronoun YOU. When the "German-Americans," | |Ms we called them, found that OUR country was at war, they erased the | tiyphen. They mlghf have remained "German-Americans" if we had gone war with any country except Germany, and this is one great benefit 'f-„ :3^at Germany conferred upon us when she attacked us: she killed the ; fcyphen. She counted on killing It and so far her calculations were cor- fect But she is not pleased with her success in the matter, for she made ^ " « mistake in an important detail: she thought the "German-Americans" ould drop the American side of the hyphen; she thought they were> really ians. They weren't The hyphen is gone forever, and there aren't "German-American" citizens any more in our country; there are only erican citizens. From August, 1914, until April, 1917, the "German- Americans" often said YOlJ, to the rest of Us and the rest of us often said JTOU to them; but now all of us say WE, US and OUR. -I A. young friend of mine, of German descent told me how It was with JWm. Until April, 1917, he had been pro-German, and at times critical .•f our government's attitude toward Germany. Only a week or so after Irar was. declared I met him and he was ln uniform--a fighting man's uni form. "Of course I am!" he said. **Oh, yes; everything was different ?fntil my country went to war- I loved' Germany, and I naturally thought ||hat Germany was right ln her struggle with other foreign countries. Don't ' ou take your old and admired Menu's side when he gets into a contro- ersy with people who are strangers to you? Well, I think I was all :ht to have felt that way and to have taken that attitude up to the time the United States went to war, and I can't be ashamed of It, even though $ may have been mistaken. But Germany Is no friend of mine now. No, fir! Not from the moment when she became the recognized enemy of country. My country's enemy is my enemy and I'm going to fight enemy of my country if it costs my life. Germany is my enemyl I'm to help get the kaiser, and we're going to do it!" . . . The "German-Americans" encountered skepticism from people %ho found it difficult to see how a viewpoint can change with changed cir- liumstances; and the doubt was galling and unhelpful as suspicious doubts pearly always are. A great many gopd Americans who Wouldn't get into fKniform and fight Germans felt the need of attacking somebody they could $0et at and make wince. They suffered from the natural and just anger Jttaipst Germany, but Germany was too far away, and too sheltered behind Hlndenburg, to be directly affected, and a lot of us just couldn't contain ourselves; we were so hot we had to let out and give something or some body within our reach a "good cussing." We cussed the "German-Ameri- pjans," and made it a little harder for them to declare their loyalty, but the *a8t majority of them behaved so well under the stress that after a while had to abandon this means of blowing off our steam. So we picked 'jjp the British "word "slacker" and used It tj> vent our irritation; and per- llaps we did a little good, here and there, with our "slacker" talk; and Certainly we did some harm. We were very free with the word, we editors, 'writers and speakers, who were not in uniform ourselves. We were espe cially bitter against what we liked to call the "swivel-chair warriors" ln ^Washington. There were men of draft age, it appears, serving ln some of |ibe departments in Washington, and without pausing to inquire how many ||Mf these were physically unfit for service In the fields or how many had be- ;febme indispensable in the positions they were filling, we raged against them, plrtuous congressmen, who themselves had no intention of ever being ex- | The Workers- ^ But it Is to you, y« workers, who do wready work, and are as grown men, ffcbte and honorable in a sort, that the Airhole world calls for new work and Itobleness.

No doubt the word "slacker" has had its uses; but it is possible that we should have done better not to adopt it; and one thing is certain; those of us who have never worn a uniform nro not well entitled to use "slacker," ln Its military sense, as a conde- ' of any other man who is not in uniform. We can use the word .aiU'i" when'we can make It good by proof, but we should leave "slacker" to soldiers and those who have been soldiers. We must judge not l&t we be judged. Let us save our bitter ness for our enemy. To a nation war comes as a great trouble comes to a family. When a great trouble comes to a family the members of that family draw closer; they depend upon one another as never before; and they are kinder to one an other than they have been in happier times. They forget differences that have come among them, and they make sacrifices to help one another. Thej find many goodnesses, and nobilities in one another that they have not dls- eovered before. Their strength to meet their trouble comes from their unity: they cannot meet it if they bicker and fall apart. If one does not do his share, the others will get le$s from him by scolding than if they stfy "Come, brother!" . . . One day last April we had a "Liberty Loan" parade in Indianapo lis. Some 40,000 of us marched and the rest looked on and helped to cheer, and perhaps tried not to cry when the flags went down the street wltfc the people who carried them singing "Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! There were soldiers--Infantry and artillery--In the parade, and hospital units, and' linos and lines of surgeons and nurses, and there were state and city officials, and governors and senators and ex-ambassadors; but the great part of the marchers were Just the people of a city at war. Factory owners marched with their men; labor leaders* marched with millionaires, and unless you knew them you couldn't tell which was which. The mer chants, the bankers, the lawyers, the doctors, the dentists, the clerks, the railroad men, the barbers, the bricklayers, the steel workers, the canners, the carpenters, the plumbers--they all marched and they all sang when the bands played and when the bands didn't The Catholic organizations marched, and the Protestant organizations marched. Thousands of ne groes marched in their church orders, singing and free and In the war, like the rest. And there were great clubs and organizations that had been called German, but would no longer be colled German, they marched and sang and were most absolutely and violently a part of the war on Ger many. There were Bulgarians, shouting the allied battle call. Singing "The Battle Cry of Freedom," and there were Roumanians, and Serbians and Greeks and Russians, all Americans and all in this war. There were Chi nese and there was a band of Jnpanese, dressed as antique bowmen. No where in the dty was there anything that wasn't at war with the Germans. And overhead sailed the airplanes. But it was not so with Indianapolis alone, or with all the cities and towns and villages and countrysides of Indiana alone. The same manifestation was visible all over America where there are 100,000,000 people! So we said: "if that Itosenkranz and Gullderstern pair of worthies In Germany, Hindendorff and Ludenburgh, could only get a bird's-eye view of what is showing forth today, if they could get but a glimpse of this America roused, they might also get a glimpse of what Is coming to them!" . . . America not only roused, but America united. Our trouble has taught us our unity. We have said: "Come, brother!" and we stand together, steadfast. We are at war with militarism. The kaiser, knowing that he is the front and symbol of militarism, said: "Those who wish to de stroy us are digging their own graves." He knows well enough what we mean to destroy, and in his rage he talks graveyard to frighten us. His worst mistake has been his thinking that "terrbrlzatlon" terrifies; that murdering a man's child subdues the man and keeps him quiet! Zeppelins, submarines, 70-mile guns, poison gas^ rape, setting peaceful towns on ore, turning machine guns on women, children, priests and old men--these are the raw head and bloody bones he uses, hoping through fear to make all the wide world his own private ogre's castle. But America will not have it so. Let him wave his raw head and bloody bones; let him threaten us with graves, and let him make the German people believe that it is Germany we mean to destroy; he knows \ifhat this republic means to do he knows what the united democracy of the world means to do--and it is he that is afraid, and proves his fear, like a coward talking big in the dark. America is marching. Leaders go before us, mighty and implacable for America and for the freedom of man, and we see them not in diuiuess, but as shining figures, alive today and alive forever, at the head of the na lion: Washington and Franklin and Hamilton and Adams and Jefferson and Patrick Henry and Francis Marion and Paul Jones and Light Horse Harry Lee; and Decatur and Madison and Scott, and William Henry Har rison and Zachary Taylor. And the solemn, great figure of Lincoln marches there, at our head, with Grant atad Sherman and Sheridan and Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson. We know what these men said to us: that the word to us was always the same, yesterday and today and tomorrow-^ ways their word to us Is "Forward!" And we follow them. Their way lies straight upward over emperors and kings. For a while, ln our prosperity, it /seemed that we had forgotten our leaders, that we had forgotten that the power of the spirit is greater than the power of dollars, that we had even forgotten to keep ourselves a nation, one and Indivisible, and had become a collection of grabbers, living on fat and laughing at cor ruption and shame--and it was thus the German thought of us. Never was there so false a He! The time has come that brings us our test America woke and woke in arms.
