AMERICAS MAN
QUITS SERVICE
ON BATTLESHIP

After having served three years
aboard one of Uncle Sans battleships
Joe Coleman King is again in Ameri-
Gus, and will doubtless enter upon
some other occupation here. He was
granted an honorable discharge a
lew days ago, in view of the fact that
his term of enlistment was about to
expire, while his ship was preparing
TO sail for foreign waters. As mat
ter of expediency he was released
now, while in the States, rather than
that he be taken many thousand miles
away, when his enlistment would ex-
pire in few weeks. He saw service
at Vera Cruz when the fighting ships
were there, and was recently in Hay
tien waters. He is an expert cleo
trician, and talks interestingly of his
travels over the world during the past
three years.

You need not go far to see what it
would mean to England, if Germany
wins the war. In Belgium at this hour
several million Belgians are making
war material or Notifications for their
conquerors. They are given enough
food to support life, as the German
thinks it should be supported. BY the
way, l believe the United States Of
America supplies a large part of that
food.
In return, they are compelled to

all that civilization means, to the
simple question of kill or be killed.
Up to the present, as far as we can
find out, Germany has suffered some
100000 casualties. She can suffer
another 100000, and, for aught we
know, another 5000 after that. We
have no reason to believe that she will
break up suddenly and dramatically
as a few people still expect. Why
should she? She took two generations
to prepare herself in every detail and
through every fibre of her national be-
ing for this war. She is playing for
the highest stakes in the world. 1t
seems to me that she must either win

abomination that the mind of man
can conceive which the German has
not perpetrated, is not perpetrat-
ing, and will not perpetrate if he is
allowed to go on. Those horrors and
peryersions were not invented by him
on the spu of the moment. They
were arranged long beforehand
their very outlines are laid down in
the German war book. They are part
of the system in which Germany has
been scientifically trained.
1t is the essence of that system to
make such a hell of the countries
where her armies set foot that any
terms she may offer will seem like
heaven to the people whose bodies she
has defiled and whose minds she has
broken of set purpose and intention
In the face of these facts it is folly
for any fit man to waste one minute
in talking about what he would do If
our system of recruiting were chang
ed, or to wait on, as some men are
waiting, in the hope that compulsion
may be introduced.
We shall not be saved by argument.
We shall most certainly not be saved
by hanging on to our private jobs and
business. Our own strength and our
own will alone can save us. If these
fail the alternative for us is robbery
rape of the women, starvation, as a
prelude to save us. Long as an IN
broken Germany exists, so long will
life on this planet be intolerable not
only for us and our allies, but for all
humanity.
And humanity knows it. At present
six European nations are bearing the
burden of the war. There is fringe
of shivering neutrals almost under
the German guns who look out of their
front doors and see, as they We're
meant to see, what has been done to
Belgium, the German guaranteed neu-
trail.
But, however the world pretends to
| divide itself, there are only two divis-
ions in the world today-human be-
ings and Germans. And the German

GERMANY WOULD RULE EUROPE AND AMERICA
WITH IRON HAND IF KAISER IS VICTOR

Over and above this, no pledge We
can offer, no guarantee we can give
will be accepted by Germany as bind
ing. She has broken her own most
solemn oaths, pledges and obligations,
and by the very fact of her existence
she is bound to trust nothing and to
recognize nothing except that of i'm
mediate superior force, backed by her
inimitabIe cruelty. So, you see, there
are no terms possible.
Realize, too, if the Allies are beaten
there will be no spot on the globe
where soul can escape from the
domination of this enemy of man
kind. There has been childish talk that
the western hemisphere would offer a
refuge from oppression. Put that
thought from your mind. If the Allies
were defeated, Germany would not
need to send single battleship over
the Atlantic. She would issue an
order and it would be obeyed. Civiliza-
ton would be bankrupt and the west
ern world would be taken over with
the rest of the wreckage by Germany,
the receiver. There is no retreat pos
sible. There are no terms and no re-
treat in this war.
The German has spent quite as
much energy in the last 45 years pre-
pairing for war as we have in con-
vincing ourselves that wars should
not be prepared for. He has started
this war with a magnificent equip
ment, which took him time and heavy
taxation to get together. That equip
ment we nave had to face Tor the last
10 months. We have had to face more.
The Germans went into this war with
a mind which had been carefully
trained out of the idea of every moral
sense or ligation-private, public or
international. He does not recognize
the existence of any law least of all
those he has subscribed to himself, in
making war against combatants OF
non-combatants-men, women anc
children. He has done, from his OWE
point of view, very we'll indeed.
All mankind bears witness today
that here is no crime. no cruelty, ne

or bleed to death almost where her
lines run today. Therefore we and
our allies must continue to pass our
children through fire to Moloch until
Moloch perishes. This, as I see it, is
where we stand and where Germany
stands.

with the gritty spirit that wins.

with the gritty spirit that wins.
George c. Humphrey of the college
of agriculture of the University of
Wisconsin, advocates a complete ra-
ton which should consist of corn
silage, clover and alfalfa hay, and
mixture of concentrates.
The mixture of concentrates should
consist of three or more feeds, at least
one of which should be higher in pro-
TEN than the ordinary farm grown
grain. Such feeds as wheat bran,
dried distillers' grains, gluten feed and
the efficiency of farm grown grains in
milk production.
This Badger dairyman believes that
each COW should be fed one-fourth to
One-third as many pounds of grain
daily as she produces pounds of milk.
Cows yielding a higher rate of butter
fat must, of course, receive CORES
pondingly larger ration of grain. Corn
meal corrects tendency to become
too thin, and the concentrates men
IlOH0u previously dCI do lou CO1 OS-
tives.
Herewith are three economical and
well-balanced grain rations for dairy
COWS. Prices vary so much from time
to time that it is impossible to desig-
nate the most efficient and economical,
but the following are good if fed in
conjunction with silage and alfalfa
or clover hay at the rate of one to
one and one-half pounds of the hay
and two and one-half to three pounds
of silage for each 100 pounds of live
weight: Cd Distillers' grains, 80
pounds; bran, 80 pounds; ground
oats, 20 pounds; corn meal, Is
pounds, and oil meal, 5 pounds. (2)
Bran, 40 pounds, gluten feed, 10
pounds; ground feed, 20 pounds; corn
meal, 20 pounds oil meal, 10 pounds.
co Ground oats, rs pounds; corn
meal, Is pounds; bran, 20 pounds;
malt sprouts, 20 pounds; oil meal, 10

Cardinal Principles of Maintaining
Constant Milk Flow.

I. Get rid of Ioafers and board
ers.
2. Breed for fall and spring
calves.
8. Watch the feed the COWS are
getting. Learn to calculate rations
which will give the best results
at the least expense Cows must
not get too thin and neither must
they be over-fat
q. Kindness is always rewarded
by more quarts of milk and more
butterfat per quart.
S. Supply regularly, cool, fresh
water in summer and warm, pure
water in winter Eighty-seven per
cent of milk is water.
6. Keep a box of salt or lump
of rock salt where each cow can
get at it when desired 1t is es-
sential to the best results.
