Pigs save TEUTONS
i FROM STARVATION
Neutral Traveller Brings Word of
Food Problem Solved.
Pigs Is pigs-even in Germany.

Pigs Is pigs-even in Germany.
The prolific porker has saved the
Teuton food situation. according to
q neutral traveller recently out of
Germany. who arrived here yester-
day. According to him the allied
armies are coming just in time, for
the hope Of starving out Germany
and the German army is gone.
The capture Of the Rumanian corn
crop saved the German pig herds,
and the German pig herds increased
and multiplied according to their
kind. Now every family has a house
hold pet or two which before winter
win be converted into bacon and pork
and all the other several hundred
things which German cooks make out
Of a pig.
Many Germans are doing with
less food than they would like, ac-
cording to this man. but there Is
enough to sustain everybody in good
health
This Is the first direct word of the
German food situation that has
reached this country since Ambassa-
dor Gerard left Berlin Reports at
that time showed an extreme scarcity,
particularly in animal fats.

II Pays for Farmers to Go to College

The most important thing that
principal found out was that the boys
town and country, both-who drop
ped out Of school in the seventh grade
earned, on an average, $225 a year
each, less than the boys who finished
three years of high school. In the
course Of forty years q figured only
thirty for the farm, but that's fair, as
We farmers can usually retire much
sooner than a town mani that means
that a man with three years Of high
school education earns 5000 more
than the boy who quits in the seventh
grade.
Moreover, that principal found out
that even If boy quits the farm and
goes to live in the town all his life,
he earns more in forty years, as an
educated laborer than If he had re-
mained uneducated, to pay him SO

Then, when the absorption of Austria
had been completed. Germany turned
on Russia and with hardly auy trouble
drove the Russians out of Austria,

She came to Austria's aid only after

Austria and laid of of Germany.
When she turned on the Russian ar

the Russian army and government had
prepared the way for her.
Through treason in high places the
Russian army was without ammuni-
tion-what shells had reached the

but did fit the German guns when
they were captured.
While Russian wheat was going to

No economic question must be al
lowed to interfere with the raising of
an American army large enough and
powerful enough to bring an end to
the war through victory on the fields
of France.
The government. through revised
regulations for the draft. seeks to pre-
vent to the utmost possible degree
hardships upon Industry and agricul-
ture-each a vital war pursuit-but
both must bow, as must every other
claim. to the main demand for an
army-a fighting force of millions.
That Is the message Of Maj. Gen
Enoch H. Crowder. provost marshal
general, and father Of the draft, to
the almost 5000 local boards of the
country as q toreword to the new
regulations which will become effec-
tive December Is.
Sketches Draft Agencies.
Gen. Crowder's message Is 1000
words long. 1t sketches the whole
machinery Of the draft, from the pas
sage Of the law to the present day.
1t explains the difficulties and reasons
why the government, through the ne
cessity Of speed. adopted the imperfect
system now being supplanted for the
drafting Of the first $4,000 men.
1t explains how the new rules cor
rect the errors of the first regula-
tions and contains words Of high
praise for the yeoman labor and pa
uiotic devotion of the local boards,
the members OF which sacrificed per-
sonal interest in hard labor for the
nation.
One Of the most significant para
graphs Of Gen. Crowder's message is
the prediction that before Class 1.-The
class in which married men with de-
pendent wives and children are listed
under the new rules-is reached in the
drawing Of future drafts, Congress
will have extended the law to youths
not now registered.
As Last Resort.
"In Class l." says Gen. Crowder.
I'VE find the men whom we shall take
as last resort. Before that class is
reached, 1t is perfectly safe to say
that by the addition of other classes
as to age. say those who have at
tained q since registration day and
perhaps adding the classes of 1s 49,,
and a-year old men. we shall have in
cluded two or three million men in
our available list and thus have saved

Joseph D. Sullivan Delivers Address
at Gaelic Club.

The November meeting of the Gaelic
Club was held in the Hickman studio.
1340 New York avenue northwest. at
which Joseph D. Sullivan delivered
an address on THE influence OF the
Ulster Irish on the Development OF
American Liberty"
He said the Scotch settled Ireland
originally about 1918 and became oc-
cupants Of the soil, holding title from
the proprietors. who were called "un-
dertakers."
In five generations. declared the
speaker, comprising R5 years, the
planters kave brought the land to a
high state OF cultivation. in conse-
quence of which the "undertakers"
have become more greedy and exact
without payment Of a ruinods bonus
and dispossessing those tenants who
could not pay increased rental.
This condition gave rise to an agra
rian war between tenants and propri-
etors, and from 1727 TO the American
revolution vast numbers of Ulster
Irish came to America. They were de-
termined, courageous and enlightened,
he said, and founded numerous schools
and one university (Princeton). besides
assisting in establishing Yale and Har-
ward.
The principal contributions made by
them to American freedom were
through these educational institutions.
The speaker said that through the la
bors of James Madison in the constitu-
tional convention they were able to
incorporate many OF their ideals into
the Federal Constitution.
Several Presidents, including Andrew
Jackson, James Buchanan, Chester A.
Arthur. William Mckinley and Wood
row Wilson. were descendants of emil
grants from the north Of Ireland.

dreds of thousands Of men -necessi-
tates an inroad into the man power
Of the nation. We are committed to
this war and we ought to fight It in
the most effective fashion possible
to US. q
THE necessity Of raising an army is
paramount. The decrease in labor
supply must be adjusted in some way
other than by shutting of recruit
ment. The problem is not to MAIN
tain the labor supply of agriculture
and OF every industry intact. It is to
make the withdrawal of men in the
most scientific manner possible. 1
think we have done that and that
what is offered here Is the basis for a
nice balance between our two necessi-
ties.
In Role of Sutler.
There are those who say that we
must win this war in the economic
field. with an inference that the rais-
ing Of an army is a side issue. To do
so would be to relegate the United
States to the role of sutler of the
fighting nations.
I'VE shall, Of course, increase our
production. We shall become more
and more effective as a nation and
we shall supply our new ARMIES and
do all that can be expected Of us
to supply the armies of our allies.
But we shall not, under that guise,
confine our participation in this
conflict to the baking of bread and
the sharpening Of the swords of other
men.
This war will be won militarily
on the devoted fields of France.
Doubtless it will be won by the side
which is able to place behind its
army the prevailing ounce of pro-
vision. But the blow that skaters
the German line and extinguishes au-
tocracy from the face of the earth
will be the blow OF mans right arm
and not the insidious stroke Of a
shrewd trader"
Army's Needs First.
While this message Of Gen. Crow
der's Is. externally, a review of the
situation for their beneht, 1t is in
reality a direct order-a command
that in their selection Of men-the
classification Of registrants under the
new system-they keep ever before
their minds the fact that the army s
requirements come first, and guide
their actions accordingly.
Gen. Crowder explains that the new
method so simpliies the work that
1872 complicated forms are abolished
and that in future only one form is
necessary as far as the registrant
Is concerned-the QUESTIONABLE.
Eight other forms, a grand total
OF only nine, comprise all the forms
which will be necessary for the

Campbells wish was carried out to
the letter. Shortly before the funeral

was dug and on each side of it a

THE DAILY RECIPE
Whole. Wheat or Graham Bread

whole. Wheat or Graham Bread.
1la cups lukewarm milk.
3 tablespoons brown sugar.
"a teaspoons salt.
cups whole wheat or graham flour.
" yeast cake.
Scald the milk together with the
sugar and salt. When lukewarm, add
the yeast mixing it first with a little
of the milk. Add the flour, beat well,
and let it double it's volume. Beat it
thoroughly. put into a pan, and let it
rise. In pan Of standard size ii
should come nearly to the top.
The above recipe may be used in
preparing bread from home ground
meal. There are many homes. par
ticularly in the country. where the
housewife can obtain unground wheat
at moderate cost. If ground in the
ordinary coffee mill, such wheat
makes a coarse bread, not very light in
texture, but of such good flavor that
it may well be used occasionally to
give variety to the diet. 1t is useful,
too, in places where good bran cannot
be obtained easily and where coarse
breads are desired as a means of pre-
venting con stipation. In making such
bread with a view to economy the
housekeeper should compute what it
will cost her per loaf. including labor
and fuel, as compared with other
breads she makes. Skim milk instead
of whole milk can be used home
made yeast, either liquid or dry cakes,

the bread with less sugar or unsweet-
