If War Lasts Beyond Summer
Farmers Will Win or Lose 1t,
SAYS Clifford Pinchot

should crush lne German military
power this summer. before the short
age OF food can reach the point OF
want. the world would still need vast
quantities OF American food. But II
they do not. only one course can make
US safe. and that Is to grow food
enough on our farms for ourselves
and our Allies. and TO put ships
enough on the sea to carry the food.
in spite of the submarine TO the men
who are fighting our fight.
II the war lasts beyond this sum
uer. it will be the American farmer
who will win or lose the war. who
will overcome militarism and auto
cracy. or allow them to spread and
control the world. ourselves includ-
ed.
This is no fanciful picture. but
sober fact. Many man will make
light OF II until he comes to think it
over. but l venture TO say that few
will treat IL lightly after careful
thought. II is no more impossible
than the great War itself appeared to
De. only a few days before ii began.
II is true that we can greatly in
crease the available food supply out
of grain now used in making liquors.
and by reducing household waste.
But when these two things are done.
and done thoroly. they will not be
enough. The final decision will still
rest in the hands of the men who
raise our food in the first place.
The clear duty OF the Nation Is to
guarantee the farmers a fair price
for their crops when grown. and
reasonable supply of labor at
harvest. The clear duty OF the farm
er Is to raise food enough to win this
war for democracy against Kaiser
ism.
No such responsibility has ever
rested ON any class Of men since tho
world began - resta today on the
farmers Of America.

The Record.
Canon City, Colo.
Dear Mr.. Hardy
In this great time. when every
dent has made his chief appeal TO
the men who live on the land. He
is right in doing so. for the safety
of our country just now is In the hands
OF our farmers. What mean is not
merely our safety and the safety OF
our Allies In the matter OF food.
mean that the safety of the United
States against foreign invasion
hangs on the decision OF the farmers
of the forty-eight States.
The two great weapons in this war
are arms and starvation. The war
against German arms will be won or
lost in France--the war against star
vation will be won or lost in America.
The Kaiser cannot whip the French
and English armies and the English
navy while England has food. But It
Is still possible that the German sub
marines may be able to keep food
enough from reaching England to
starve her into submission.
II the submarines win. the first item
in the Kaiser's terms of peace will
be the English fleet. With the Eng
lish fleet in his possession. the Kais.
er will be master of the world.
What will happen to us thenG Ev-
cry man who stops to think knows
the answer. We shall have money.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE
RED CROSS SOCIETY

Since the organization of the local
chapter OF the American Red Cross
society many questions in relation to
the organization have been asked by
people who were considering the mat
ter Of becoming members. To such
inquirers the following will be of in
terest:
The Red Cross had its inception in
an international conference held in
Geneva, Oct 26, 1858. which was at
tended by delegates from "A nations
and six associations. At this time a
proposed code of international enact
ments was discussed and the main
recommendations agreed TO were:
First The formation in each
country of committee TO cooperate
with the army sanitary service in com
munication with the government. Al
with preparing supplies of hospital
stores. and the training of nurses
and in time Of war 10 give attention
to the furnishing OF these hospital
supplies and trained nuress in aid of
their respective armies. Neutral
nations 10 be invited TO assist these
committees.
Second-The declaration of the
hospitals. OF the officials, of the san
itary service: of the nurses in active
field service, OF the Inhabitants of
the country aiding the wounded and
even of the wounded themselves.

emhodying these resolutions was
adopted at Geneva in 1864. 12 out
OF the l6 delegates signing II. Later
it was aeceded by every civilized ma
tion. In 1906 revision was made
and this too was signed by all the
nations who had previously signed.
OF all the associations in the world
that Of Japan is foremost with prop
erty and endowment valued at ss.-
0o0. 900. At the outbreak OF the Rus
sian-Japanese war this association al
once sent 800 surgeons and 1900
nurses and added to this later. The
association in France is second with

The American National Red Cross
was made a national association by
the congress in 1900 altho it had
