THE CRY FOR BREAD,

The american pro-German organiza-
ton which says it is as much our duty
to send bread to the Germans as it
is to send war materials to the allies
must abandon this argument since
Germany is not in need of bread.
DIR. Karl Helfferich, the German sec
rotary of the treasury. says Germany
herself produces Everything needed
for the war;" She. is not dependent
upon America or any other country for
anything she needs. Hungary Austria
and Roumania can furnish her all the
wheat she needs.
This anxiety here in America among
German sympathizers that the British
blockade will bring the German people
to a condition of want, or semi-star-
walton, is without reason.
If Germany has all the food she
needs and can produce all the war ma
terfal she can use, how can the sale
of munitions of war to the allies pro-
long the war, or why should they
charge America with aiding and abet-
ting her destruction.
Germany is Independent. She is
great. She is ingenious. She can and
does snap her fingers in the face of
all the world.

THE MONEY LENDERS BEATEN.

The crops in the west and south are
about\ready to be harvested and short
ly the federal reserve banks will be
called upon to loan money for the
moving Of the crops, and the value of
these banks to the cotton and wheat
growers will be demonstrated.
The west and south have always
been short of capital to finance the
reaping and marketing of their i'm
mense crops and money in the past
was never forthcoming at reasonable
rates Of interest
When the stream Of money began
to flow out of New York, stock mar
1set operators were accustomed to bid
anywhere from 10 to 100 per cent. to
keep it in Wall Street. This was the
only country in the world that expe-
rienced such q barbaric financial pro-
ceedfng and improved the occasion to
fitch from the growers the money they
had fairly earned.
The Federal reserve banks will
knock out these financial pinchers of
the planters and farmers and will re-
discount notes issued against a bale
of cotton or consignment Of wheat
rs readily as they will rediscount notes
endorsed by men Of recognized fnan-
Dial ability,
II this reserve bank banishes the
speculative robbers and protects the
farmers It will be a splendid thing for
the people

OUR REPLY TO GREAT BRITAIN.

The notes of England to this govern
ment In defense of the violation of es-
tablished international agreements tare
likely to call forth a firm protest be-
cause wrong cannot be acceptably de-
Tended.
They call the attention of the gov
ernment to presidents, as though pre-
cedents had not been characterized as
''the bond and disgrace of legislation:
and as if they were Dnmindful OF
Tennyson's criticism of British law in
Aylmer's Field, when he says: MAS
tering the lawless science of our law
that Goddess myriad Of precedent, that
wilderness of single instances" Pre-
cedent be blowed! What Uncle Sam
wants is his rights.
There is no parallel between our
differences with Germany and with
England. The action and the spirit of
the two nations are entirely different
the difference between killing nom
con1batants in defiance OF law, and the
restriction Of neutral trade from ne
cessity.
Tho two issues cannot be met in the
same spirit and no one knows this
better than the Kaiser.
What President Wilson says to Great
Britain can have no possible bearing
upon our controversy with Germany

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Appreciation Of Col. Bryan.

An Appreciation OF Col. Bryan.
Mr.. Editor: Many of US may not
agree with the past or present political
ideas of Mr.. Bryan-but on the most
rnomentous issue OF peace or war, we
are with him. In the hour of need
he did not forsake the American peo-
pie. He quit the cabinet to be free
to render the people signal service.
When passion ran high, his manly act
of severing mis- connection with the
Ship of State. that was steering mad
ly for the rocks of discord, restor-
ed reason and sanity to the public
mind and gave it back it's self-pos-
session. The last note, to Germany
has been deprived of its sharpest sting
by the general realization that it does
not represent the present mind or the
last word of the American people.
His heriosm is of a higher order
than the, physical courage of the SOL
der. He has shown the spiritual
courage of the soul. When the mil
lionaires and munition-mongers, that
are trying to draw US into war, will
be fN'gotten-Bryan will stand out
in history-a true humanitarian-ev-
cry inch an American and a man.
Respectfully,
PETER c. CAHILL.

SANITARY cARELEssNEss.

The public health service Of the
government doesn't hesitate to tell US
we are unclean and need an education
al campaign to get US out Of our filthy
habits.
Typhoid fever is a filth disease and
classed among the preventable dis
eases. There were 40o,0 cases of
this fever in the United States last
year and 10000 deaths. a big tax for
our disregard of the laws of health.
Too little attention is given to keep
ing watersheds clean. locating wells
so they will not get surface drainage,
and keeping all purifying matter In
the earth instead Of on top. The germs
Of this fever are carried In water and
have been traced for 25 miles along a
watercourse.
The Providence Journal commenting
upon the vaccine portion of this Off
cial report says:
can interesting section Of the report
is the one on anti-typhoid incubation
or vaccination-the popular notion that
this remedy is infallible Is contra
dicted. The protection is relative, not
absolute; incubation is not to be re-
garded as a substitute for sanitation,
the report says. Life and health are
best conserved by keeping the typhoid
germs out of water supplies"

The United States is their friend and
any movement which strengthens the
confidence of these nations in this gov

friendship which exists here for that

wondered. too, whether she cry at
bed time. when no little white figure
clad in his "nightie" would kneel at

But that would never do. Where
was he going to sleep tonight?
Perhaps he had better return home
until he could bring his bed with him.

Stories of the War
Proud to Have Served.

George Stuart Fullerton of Columbia
University writes:
The Whole subject of the German
standing army and the reserves" is
absolutely incomprehensible to the
American unwilling to rince out his
mind and to approach the subject
without preposessions. To be soldier
in America or in England does not at
all mean the same thing as to be
soldier in Germany. In Germany, ex-
cept for officers. it is not a profession
at all. Those in active service in time
of peace are at school, and are there
to get out of school and back again
to their work. Those who are well
educated, and are willing to pay the
expense of their military training can
graduate in one year. Most boys have
to stay two years. Some, those who
have to do with horses, must stay
three. These young men are not paid.
Most of them are allowed two dollars
and fifteen cents a month as pocket
money. for they are poor boys, and
could not buy as much as a cigarette,
if they were allowed nothing. They
are drilled, they are taught some
music, history. etc, they are put
through a course OF gymnastics which
limberS them up and makes them walk
like self respecting human beings, and,
above all, they are taught discipline
and strict obedience. The stupid, the
idle, those who detest restraint of any
kind. do not like their years in the
school. But I have talked over the
matter with vast number of Ger
mans of all classes, men servants, cab
drivers, walters, clerks, university
men, businessmen, capitalists, noble
men, and the overwhelming majority
look back with pleasure to their mil
itary training and are proud to have
served" Those who, from any sort
of physical disability, have been ex-
cused from the duty are ashamed of
their immunity. My own man-servant
blushed when it was referred to, and
said that it was not his fault that his
cheSt-measure was inadequate.

THE WAR PRIMER
BY National Geographic Society

koVno.-Kovno, the key to the rail-
way system Of northwestern Russia,
behind which the Germans are endeav-
oring to strike the great interior lines,
is described as follows in a primer on
war geography by the National Geo
graphic Society:
''Kovno is the central fortress in the
Russian northwestern chain of frontier
strongholds. 1t stands at the conflu-
ence of the Niemen and the ViIliya
Rivers, east Of central East Prussia.
Petrograd lies $50 miles by railroad to
the northwest, while behind Kovno,
and between this fortress and Petro-
grad. the Russian plain is strewn as
thickly with lakes as fallow meadow
lands with July and August daisies.
Mitau. Kovno, Grodno and Lemberg
lie nearly in the same line, north and
termination of the line Of the Bug to
which the Russians may retreat, and
of which Brest Litovsk forms the
central fortress.
The railway from Eydtkuhnen, East
Prussia, to Wilma runs through Kovno,
and. at it's terminus, joins the trunk
lines between warsaw and Petrograd
which the Germans are endeavoring to
sever. Kovno Is a fortress of the first
class, and has been considerably
strengthened in recent years. Its main
defense consists of a girdle of IL
forts. surrounding the town in an arc
with a radius of about 1-2 miles. The
fork of the river junction is an inn
portant feature of the city's strength.
Here, 1t is guarded by three forts in
the direction of Wilma, one of which
commands the Wilma Bridge. The
fortress is 55 miles from the East
Prussian border.
'Kovno has shared in the expansion
caused by the demands of the present
generation of Russians for a home
Industry Of sufficient development to
hasten the supply of the young nation
with the material elements of modern
civilization. 1t has developed several
important metal industries, and has
large factories producing nails, wire,
barbed-wire, and machines. 1t has also
developed a large commission business
and was an important entrepot for
timber, cereals, fax. -four, spirits. fish,
