THE FOOD PLEDGE

There are those in the county
who are not only refusing to sign
the food pledge, but are advising
others not to do so. We have
some very cautious people when
it comes to doing anything in the
interest of the government in its
efforts to whip Germany. They

Others signing the food pledge
card is not only disloyal to the ma
ton, but is rendered subject to
severe punishment under the es-
pionage and other war acts of the
recent congress
Rutledge Smith, chairman of the
council of defense, says that
pledge card food conservation
work is as much a government ac-
tivity, as much a part of the war
program of the government as was
registration for service under the
selective draft law. 1t is as much
part of the war program OF the
nation as the making of munitions
or equipage for the soldiers. The
president has given his cordial en-
dorsement to the movement; it has
the approval of Governor Rye and
of every other governor in the
union, and no one, under these
circumstances, can advise or coun-
sci any interference with the food
pledge without rendering himself
or herself subject to criminal pros
ecatIon. The.penalsies are severe.
The government, those who
are giving it their time and labor.
in most instances without any sort
of compensation, are desperately
in earnest in this war work of food
conservation. Recognizing the i'm
perative necessity for it, no pro-
German sympathizers or selfish
aud unpatriotic Americans can be
permitted to interfere in any way
with it. We are hoping that those
who have given countenance to
this seditious talk will take warn
ing and make unnecessary more
drastic steps,"

impeachment late in July. Governor
Ferguson later called the entire legis-

passage of the state university bills
which he had vetoed. The senate took
up these bills on August /, the day of

washington, Aug. 23.--Germany is
increasing her economic pressure on
Holland and now refuses to let steel
go into the Netherlands for ship build
ing purposes unless the Dutch agree
to devote the ships to German uses
for a period of five years after the
war.
Secretary Lansing said today he had
received unofficial advices to that
effect; also that Germany has refused
to let Holland have more coal unless
Dutch miners are sent to her mines to
get it out. The state departments in
formation is that Holland has replied
that If the terms regarding the steel
are insisted upon the Dutch shipyards
will be shut down. The allotment of
coal by Germany to Holland is ex-
hausted and Dutch industries are said
to be in need of fuel. 1t is not known
what Holland will do regarding the
German coal.

on both the northern and southern

Russian Retreat.
East of Riga the Russians have
fallen back before the enemy all along
the line from Raggedzem. on the Gulf
of Riga, through Tukkum and Kam-
mern, to the upper reaches of the riv-
er Aa. Fighting Is going on along a
twenty-mile front east OF Riga In the

German gains in this region. says the
Russians evacuated positions without
offering battle, previously having de-
stroyed villages behind them.

To the south in volhynia. the Ger
mans also have delivered attacks
against the Russians for gains of ter
ritory but later were dislodged In
counter-attaoks In the Rumanian
tboater the Russo Rumanian troops
have taken the offensive in various
sectors or repulsed Teutonic allied
counters attacks. No important gains
in this region have been made by eith-
er of the combatants.
In Russia the political situation
again is to the fore. Petrograd news
papers take the pessimistic view that
unless an agreement between the con-
tending political groups is reached at
the approaching extraordinary nation
al council to be held at Moscow, open
conflict must follow. The constitu-
ent assembly elections have been
postponed until November 25.
The situation remains acute in Fin
land owing to the difficulty of estab-
fishing a new cabinet and to the per-
sistent efforts of the socialists to re-
convene the dissolved lantag, against
which latter action Premier Kerensky
is said to be opposed, no matter what
the cost. al
