met one day a little French girl
who told me with her own lips that
she saw her sister pinned in the mar
ket place and ravished by regiment
of German soldiers. -
How would American boys feel if
they should see the heads of their
brothers and friends stuck ON the
trenches? That's what we've seen
over and over and that S the reason
that we are determined that there
can be no peace until Germany is
punished
"We do more harm to the Germans
in the winter than at any other time.
We give them rest neither by day nor
night. We pour rain of shells upon
their trenches. They can It get warm
they can't cook their food they can t
hear = they can't talk = they are
imbeciles.
eff they could only fine gui6e the
whole German army would surrender"
"We found the unspeakable Turks
clean, honorable, straightforward,
brave-fghting men, but it took us only
few hours in the trenches of France
to discover that the Germans had
the appetites of beasts and the brains
of devils. -
"You can It tell me that the German
people are not behind this war. You
can't tell me that this is Kaiserized
war. The German people will blame
their government, not for going to war,
but for going to war at the wrong
time.''
"The war must be won on the west
ern front. The farther the Germans
go into Russia and Italy the greater
is the chance of victory in Flanders
and at Verdun where the war will Ill
timately be decided.'
"Of all the things that crawl, the
vilest is that which sucks the blood of
one who fights for him-a pacifst.' -
"Any man who excuses German
atrocities is an enemy of peace and
a condoner of crime"
81 never dreamed that men could be
so fine. In the trenches where wound
is luxury and death release, vile
things drop from them like mantle.
Boys who before lived selfish lives are
at the front living that life that
breeds men-and men spelled with
capital 'M.'"
eff you're going into this fight for
England or France, you re not wanted.
There is not single British soldier
who wants an American soldier to fight
his battle You are not fighting for
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Aus
tralia or Canada, but for American
liberty. In that great day of peace
there will be some satisfaction in know

"The bravest thing God ever made

Motor Car Is Worlds
Greatest Time Saver

Our most valuable resource is time.
Now we must take time to do double work
and carry double the burden. And the mo-
tor car is the worlds greatest time saver.
Use the motor car. Multiply the
hours in day. The time saved by the
motor car means more time for actual
production purposes. This means great
cr national prosperity and more taxable
wealth to aid our government.
Take out your pencil. Figure out the
time YOU can save for yourself with a
motor car. Total tip the increased num-
Der of things you can accomplish in that
time. Multiply that by the number of
people in a position to buy car. Then
YOU see how vast becomes the aggregate
good the motor car can accomplish.
Evening star., 1917-04-26

This isn't the kind Of job that carries
much tinsel and glitter with it, but it is
the essential job-our job-yours and
mine, until our government calls us to
some different war service.
Through conscription, in which we
heartily believe, the government will
make known to us the particular and in
dividual duty it has for each one Of us.
Until then let us simply .Dork harder.
The cost Of the war must be paid for
out of our production-ou national busi-
ness. And your help is needed. Briefly
do more and better work Of just the work
you are doing now. That is your job.

Message to the People.

ment at hand that can assist him. With
an automobile he need not trust to slow
horse and buggy when his reaper breaks
down. He can go to town and return to
continue his days labor without losing
but fraction of the time he ordinarily
would have lost.
His wife and family can use it to mar
ket the butter and eggs while he is in the
field In dozen different ways every
day the automobile will prove its economy
and efficiency for the farmer.
In work or war the time-saving eff
cheney Of the motor car is recognized.
Thousands and thousands Of motor cars
are at the front now. Motor cars have
twice saved France-once at the Marine,
again at Verdun. Our government will
purchase $4,000 trucks and great num-
bers of motor cars All ambulances are
built on motor car chassis.
Wherever time counts in the efficiency
of work or war or in saving life motor cars
are inevitable, and they area blessing.

A s7,ooo,ooo,ooo Order

The U. S. Government loan soon to be
made is really a monster order which the
government of the United States will
place with the farmers, manufacturers,
miners and all business men.
It all comes back to us in the shape Of
purchases Of supplies. This means that
the whole business machinery Of the
country will run at higher speed than
ever before.
This loan itself will be a mighty slim
ulus to hundreds of lines of business
foods, clothing, motor cars, trucks, shoes,
underwear, steel, iron and all their kin
dred products.

YouCanHelp
Here's How!

There is one thing every man, woman,
boy and girl in America can do to help.
And that is-do the thing you are doing
now better. Work harder, work longer,
and make your work produce more.
The European war has taught us that
for every man at the front there must be
ten people at home at work supporting
him. To feed and clothe and arm and
transport one frst-class fighting man
there must be ten hrst-class working peo-
pie behind him.

Our President Says:

1T is evident to every thinking man
that our industries, on the farm, in the
shipyards, in the mines, in the factories,
must be made more prolific and more
efficient"
Put senseless hysteria aside; don't
mistake froth for patriotism.
Let us address ourselves to our in
dividual and particular duties calmly and
collectedly, but purposefully.
In the need Of the nation let us find
stimulation to greater industry.

Eyes of the World
Are Upon Detroit

Detroit is the motor car center OF the
world Upon Detroit will fall the prlvl-
lege and responsibility Of filling the needs
of the country for cars. Detrolt-made
cars will do their part in making the
world safe for Democracy"
More than ever before are the motor
car products Of Detroit coming into
demand.
To the efficiency and economy Of the
modern automobile is largely due this in
crease It has removed itself from the
class Of luxuries and proved its place as
an economic necessity.
1t is the worlds greatest instrument for both
work and play. 1t pays for itself once by saving
time and promoting efficiency, and again by
providing recreation and rest and furtherlng
health. The war won't be won by an over
worked, careworn, frazzled people, but by
healthy and efficient people
The mind that said All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy was great mind. The
place of recreation as aid to more and better
work is recognized by the men doing the worlds
biggest Jobs everywhere.
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd George
know the truth OF that old saying. Both OF them
even in these pressing days-take time to
motor and play golf. Not for fun, but because
they know it is their duty to keep fit. Sir Doug
las Halg rides horseback every afternoon not
for fun but to keep sound, so he can endure
strain of his job and think straight all the time
And the proper light for you to look upon
YOUR investment in motor car is as an aid to
business and promoter Of heath-and there
fore OF your all-around efficiency
You will find justification of your purchase
of any Detroit-made car in the sound and thor
ough goodness of the car itself and real economy
of its service.
Saxon cars are good cars. The 2-passenger
roadster model is priced at s4o5. The big, spas
senger touring car, Saxon Six is S865 until
May 1st. Both models can be seen at the local
salesrooms.

The Nation
Looks to the Farmer

Upon the farmers Of the United States
is laid the greatest obligation.
From the soil they must wrest more
than they have ever before harvested.
And Of course they will continue to
get the highest prices in history for the
products they grow.
The farmer must make every minute
count. And the automobile is one imple-

Turn a Deaf Ear
To Idle Talk

Now is no time to spend listening to
idle talk.
We must be up and doing. We must
coordinate and concentrate to push bust
ness.
Every effort we can muster from farm
er, mechanic, miner, manufacturer-every
kind of labor-1nust be exerted toward
utilizing and developing the great re
sources of this country.
We must be economical it is true. For
economy is one phase Of efficiency. But it
is we'll to remember that Economy is the
judicious expenditure of money
Everywhere in America today we
want development, not retrenchment.
"Put on more steam" should be the
industrial slogan.
We must plant more, grow more, har-
vest more, build more, advertise more,
buy and sell more, be bigger and better
business men-in a word, "Do more"
Evening star., 1917-04-26

Attend to your particular business and
business in general will take care Of itself:
From here and there come rumors OF
slackening business and need for stern
retrenchment.
This is hysteria. not common sense.
Business is good and will be better as fast
as such misguided stories are. suppressed
and the energy that evolved them turned
to productive labor.
Again we say-attend to your partlc-
ular business and business in general will
take care Of itself.

APPRECIATE THE EFFORT
MADE IN WATERFOWL

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mayor Mulberger from the
American Red Cross War Finance
committee through it's secretary, Har-
old Braddock, at Washington, d. c.:
"The call of America for a Red
Cross war fund in her greatest crisis
has been answered. Men and women
of every nationality and station in
life have contributed alike to it's sue
cess The War Council cannot directly
express appreciation to every person
who has rendered service in this great
movement, but the success of the cam
paign would be incomplete were we to
fail to convey personality our regard
for the splendid service rendered by
the men and women of Watertown.
The tangible results accruing from
this campaign, great as they are, will
be less than the intangible benefits,
just as the material gifts are small in
comparison with the giving of self. 1t
is the spirit of any army that WINS
battles, and the spirit Of our citizens
is what will determine our country's
future"

STATE FISH AND GAME
MEASURE HAS PASSED

The fish and game bill which is to
be signed by Gov. Philip this week
is the most comprehensive measure on
the subject ever enacted in Wiscon-
sin, according to Assemblyman F. N.
Graas, Sturgeon Bay, who with New
comb Spoor led the fight for the bill.
Mr. Grass thinks the bill is not fully
on the commercial side, but is such a
step in advance that he believes flu
ture legislatures will easily be able to
make it effective. He says game fish
are by it protected n every way against
pot" fishermen. Among important
changes are:
Nonresident fishermen must pay a
license fee OF 81 and coupons attached
permit the shipments. A coupon must
accompany every shipment of fish.
The bill allows nonresident fe-
male to fish without a license, but if
she desires to make any shipments of
fish she must have a license
Resident hook and line fishermen
need not take a license but are limited
to shipments within the state, and to
ship outside the state must get a per-
NIT. This provision is also designed
as a check on pot" fishermen.
The season for black bass fishing,
which formerly opened May 81, will
hereafter open June Is, except that in
a few inland lakes Oswego or green
bass may be caught after May 20. This
provision is incorporated to preserve
the fish during the spawning, it having
zen demonstrated that black bass
caught on or about June l were still
filled with spawn. This bill also pre-
vents the sale of black bass.
In commercial fishing the important
change is the legal size of trout, white
fish and perch 1t will be unlawful TO
ship white fish of less than thirteen
twelve, and perch less than eight This
feature resulted in a protracted de-
bate. The state is spending thousands
of dollars for Matching trout and white
fish, and this provision, in the opinion
of Mr. Everett, will conserve the fish
until they mature The mesh of nets
for fishing clubs on the great lakes,
was placed at two and one-half inches
while that for taking trout and white
fish was placed at four inches.
The license fee on all commercial
ishrmen was increased slightly.
A separate resolution was passed,
petitioning congress to have the fed
eral government take over the super
vision of the fish industry on the great
lakes.
Shortened Ten Days.
The lone buck" law was repealed
and in its place d provision was incor-
porated permitting the shooting of
one deer of either sex. The season has
been shortened ten days.
The muskrat season has been left
practically as before.
The shooting of partridge has been
prohibited for two years while the
opening and closing of the rabbit sea-
son was provided for to meet the re-
quirements of each county
The open season for ducks and
aquatic fowls was specified in the new
bill from September to December 10.
