EUGENIST SOLON WHO
EGGS HENS ON TO LAY

New York, Dec. 11.-A special dis
patch from Washington says: Out OF
the din and clamor for federal legisla-
tion to deal a solar plexus to the high
cost of living came n unique and eu-
genie suggestion from southern re-
preventative.
This legislator announced his inten-
tion OF introducing a resolution for
compulsory egg control for hens. He
expressed belief that 1t might be easy
to curb output, but was perplexed as to
the practicability of speeding up the
lay to any appreciable extent
He says, however. he believes his plan
makes the Fitzgerald suggestions pale
into insignificance.

Press War Summary

ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
Indications point to the probability
that the defensive line of Rumanians
will be drawn along the Buzeu river.
Meanwhile, as Rumanian forces are
concentrating, the Russians are ham
mering away at the Austro- Germans
on the western front of Moldavia and
report making headway in the valleys
running towards the west.
HOLD INVADERS BACK.
Additional reports from Petrograd
indicate considerable measure of sue
cess by the Rumanian northern army
in holding the Teutonic advance along
the railroad from Ploecht, north Of
Bucharest. to the town of Muzeu. To-
Gated about the center of the Buzeu
river line. 1t Is necessary to the ap-
parent purpose of the Rumanians for
them to prevent the Austro- German
advance here until the Rumanian
forces further south in eastern Wal
lachia, retreating from the region be-
tween Bucharest and Tchernavoda,
have reached the Buzeu river line, un-
less the Rumanian military authori-
ties have decided to retain hold on more
of eastern Wallachia than it now seems
their purpose to defend.
These Rumanian forces are threat
ened not only by Field Marshal Won
Mackenzen's Danube army, but by new
contingents of Bulgarians which
crossed the Danube between Silisia
and Tchernavoda.
LITTLE FIGHTING ELSEWHERE.
There has been little fighting of an
important nature on other fronts In
Macedonia the Serbians report having
driven the Bulgarians back in one Sec
tor northeast of Monastir.
On the France Belgian front little
has developed beyond intermittent ar
tillery activity in the Somme area and
aviation operations on considerable
scale.

Abraham Lincoln was a decisive VIC

Abraham Lincoln was decisive VIC
tory won by the North.
"The Emancipation Proclamation
set at liberty 100000 slaves, but
1t did more than that. 1t emancipat-
ed the United States from a moral
Inconsistency which was a source OF
weakness in its relation to the ma
tions of the earth. We hold these
truths to be self evident that all men
are created equal, that they are en-
dowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights, that among these
are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness But in practice we de-
MED our theory, for we held in bond
age four millions of human beings.
when, therefore, slavery was
abolished, this nation had new
birth of freedom, SO that when 1t
spoke in the interest of the oppress-
ed in Cuba and elsewhere 1t spoke
with authority and its voice was
heard throughout the world.
"The Civil War put an end, once
and forever, to the theory of States
Sovereignty.
This had always been vexed
question. Was the national govern
ment supreme, or was the state? If
the federal government was supreme
then no state could secede. II the
state, then no power had the right
to hold it against it's will.
Abraham Lincoln saw that the
union Of the states was absolutely
necessary to the conservation of the
priceless blessings of liberty, and
went to the White House pledged to
uphold the Constitution of the Unit
ed States. August %, 1862, he wrote
to Horace Greeley, My paramount
object in this struggle is to save the
Union, and is not either to save or
destroy slavery George Washington,
in his valedictory address. saw the
danger which would confront the
American people, and so he wrote,
The Union of these states is a5so-
lutely necessary The Union was
preserved. The nation had endured
pie, by the people, and for the peo-
ple,' did not perish from the earth.
THAT we may appreciate this
blessing, suppose that the Confeder-
acy had succeeded. What would have
been the consequences ?There would
have been at least, two nations.
There might have been thirteen, and
on this continent we might have had
another Europe. 1t is well known,
that at that time Napoleon was plan
ming to seize Mexico and the Missis-
sippi Valley.
"'What mean these stones?' They
speak of sacrifice and service, of suf-
fering and sorrow. They proclaim
you men and women AS the saviours
of your country. What message have
they for us? They call us to a new
on the affairs of service.
This call is imperative. They cry
out. America First!' When the
President from within, and distin-
guished citizens outside the govern
ment ere crying out against the hy-
phenated Americanism, 1t is time for
sll who love their country to Rally
Round the Standard. There ought
not to be a divided allegiance. We
should be Americans, and neither
German, Irish, English nor French
Americans, but one Nation with one
great purpose, to conserve inviolate
