SH ■ - I PAGE SIX. A THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. Thursday, U6C8l E CITE OP STETTIN WASHINGTON, D. C., August 27 "In few cities of the German empire would economic unrest and Industrial disturbances have a more profound ef fect upon the Kaiser’s prosecution of the war than in Stettin, where serious food riots are reported to have occur red recently," says a war geography bulletin, issued today from the Wash ington headquarters of the National headquarters of the National Geo graphic society, "It is in a suburb of Stettin that the great Vulcan shipyards are locate! where so many of the German war ships arc built. Even In peace times the Vulcan works, covering more than 70 acres, employed 8,000 men and this number has, of course, been vastly augmented since the Prussians began with feverish haste to multiply ths units of their sinister submarine fleets. "Stettin’s importance to German arms does not end with its shipbuilding activities, however. Locomotives, boil ers and machinery of various kinds are manufactured here while the cloth ing mills, employing more than 10,000 men, women and children are proba bly mobilised at this time fort he pro duction of uniforms for the Prussian soldiers. "Stettin Is 84 miles by rail north- cast of Berlin. It has a population of 235,000 and is built on both banks of the river Oder, about 17 miles above its entrance into the Stettiner Half, a land-locked arm of the Bal tic. Vessels drawing as much as feet of water can discharge their car goes here, especially in tho new Free harbor, adjacent to the suburb of Las- tadie, with quays having a total length of more than 14,000 feet. Next p> Hamburg and Bremerhaven. more ships annually entered and cleared from Stettin before the war than at any other port In Germany. The city may be considered the seaport for Ber lin. It is the capital and principal city of the province of Pomerania. "The authentic history of Stettia dates from the 12th century when it was known as Stedyn. For several hundred years it beloged to the Dukes of Pomerania, one of whom granted It municipal right! as early as the mid dle of the 13th century. The line ol Dukes became extinct in 1637, and It years later the town became a Swed ish possession. It was not until the following century (1720) that It was allotted to Prussia by the treaty of Stockholm. Frederick the Great great ly strengthened its fortifications, but these did not prevent Its surrender to the French without a struggle in 1806 Seven years later it was returned to Prussia. The city’s defenses were rased in 1874, thereby greatly facili tating its industrial expansion. "Stettin might be likened to Hart ford, Conn., for it is the home olfice o'many of the biggest Insurance com panies of tho German empire. "Although other cities have tried to rrb it of the distinction, Stettin may rightly claim the honor of being the birthplace of one of the greater wo men of history, Catherine II. of Rus- A Heinie on Barbarism In a recent number of the “Smart Set,” a moribund periodical which has grown so dull that it can’t even make vice attractive, appears an arti cle under a title in dog-Latin on th- general subject of the Ethiop and the difficulty of changing his skin. The main idea—so far as there is one—buried under a cloud of pidgin English which masquerades as ‘smart ’ and piquant, is that the negro has out stripped the whites in cultural and material development and that a race war looms Just over the hill which is going to make the war of the Titans look like a flat fight. But the piece de resistance—if we may trench upon humor from the mis- cegenous marriage of Latin and French in such expressions as “the Homo or picture or poem or scientific dis covery or political or philosophical idea or other sound contribution to hu man advancement.” Now Heinie Mencken’s only honest title to fame is the claim that he un derstands the German philosopher, Nietzsche—when Nietzsche didn’t even claim to understand himself. For ten years he has never been able to write cn anything from the beauties of Mar tin Tupper’s “Proverbial Philosophy” the divine attributes of Buddha, without dragging in the name of the lunatic of Naumburg. On this and his glorifications of sauer-kr&ut rest his- more substantial claims to immortal ity. If a poem or a scientific discovery w'ere to come out of Georgia it would never find lodgment in the Mazurian kultur” which FARMERS, SCIENCE APPLIED TO DAIRYING YIELDS LARGE RETURNS ON THE INVESTMENT Libel For Divorce.
