Editor Hustler

Editor Hustler:
In a communication sent the Hustler
some time ago your correspondent pre-
dicted a long and bloody war with the
Central powers and also referred to the
submarine warfare as a deadly menace
to the allies ane one that if not speedily
checked must bring disaster and de-
feat. Evidence is rapidly accumulat-
ing that your correspondent diagnosed
the situation correctly. Jas. w. Ger
ard, former ambassador to Germany,
addressed at a banquet at the Congress
hotel fourteen hundred members of the
Illinois State bar association. He
gave forth a cry to battle and a sol
emn. warning that the United States
was in a war that would be a long and
bloody one. He secuted the idea OF a
German revolution and asserted that ii,
would be a physical impossibilitv to
starve the Germans out. He de-
nounced the German government very
bitterly and declared that the present
war could not have been avoided as it
was Germany's fixed purpose to Invade
America in event it triumphed over
the allies. Coming as he does direct
ly from Berlin his words may
prove prophetic. I quote America.
must whip Germany by force of arms.
s. Germany will starve, neither
will the German people overthrow
their government.
It will be a long and bitterly fought
war.
Let us make no mistake about that.
Before me are copies of three of
London's greatest newspapers, the
Mail. the News, and Chronicle.
The Mail says: @In war nothing
counts but success.
Command of the seas is passing
into the hands of the U.boats.
can admiralty board which allows
German U-boats to sink fifty five Brit
ish ships in one week should be
changed at once"
The News says: "The admiralty
must be overhauled. Our losses are
tremendous and will imperil our sue
cess, unles a remedy is soon found"
Gen. Joffree the hero of the Marine
is a guest of Chicago today and will
with the French premier Vivianni be
Wined and dined.for the next 4S hours.
Hundreds of thousands spectators
along the line of march cheered him
to >the echo. He is a short chunky
built man and does not look the great
general that he is. He is urging the
West t arm, equip and send to the
French front American soldiers as
quickly as possible. He does not
speak English.
Your correspondent is panied to an
nounce the passing of two of Chicago's
mightiest citizens, viz: John Kulczyk,
whose weight was $50 pounds, and JOS.
Toula, weight 400 pounds. \ When Kul-
czyk was placed in a specially con-
structed casket. it was necessary to
chop away a partition and two doors to
remove it from the house.

PRISON BARS SUGGESTED
FOR THE FOOD SHARKS.
Or "String Them to Lamp Posts" Is
Advice Given i'm Hot Debate
in The Senate. =

The rising sentiment in Congress for
legislation to meet the nations food
problems broke out in-the Senate today
in a debate that started over the high
price of seeds, but, developed into de-
~nunciations of food spectators with as
sertions that the best way to deal with
them was to string them to lamp posts
or put them behind prison bars.
Senators from farming States denied
hat there is any real shortage of staple
foods in the United States. Senator
John Sharp Williams declared there
had been a hysteria throughout the
country and that the cause of high
prices was largely psychological. He
said he believed the German corruption
fund recently unearthed in a Federal
court in New York have been RESPONSE
BILE for the hysteria.
Word should go straight out from
the Senate, Senator Williams said, that
there is no shortage of food. Senators
Nelson and McCumberi agreed that
there is no reaso to fearA shortage.
The attack on the Spectators was
led by Senators Thomas and Borah.
The Colorado Senator declared they
were the real enemies of the nation
expressed the hope Congress would not
dUJOuEu WILuOuL AOSAS14C1OA IAd WOuAO
remedy the evil. and said the lamp post
Is the thing to cure such speculation.
Before the debate turned to other
things, Senator Thomas introduced an
amendment to the espionage bill m
towering the President by proclama-
ton to suspend during the war the
operations of boards of trade and
chambers of commerce which deal in
futures. He had it sent to the table
for later consideration.
Senator Borah predicted a world
famine if the war lasts two years and
if extraordinary sustained efforts are
not made here to meet the food prob
lem.
Senator Nelson suggested that if
| some of the Statesmen concerned
about this situation" would go to Min
nesota and assure the farmer Of good
climatic conditions, the wheat CROP
there would take care of itself. Sena-
tor McCumber said the nation should
lhaye a wheat surplus this year of morn
than 20Q,OO0,0O bushels after feeding
itself and providing for seeding

CALOMEL DYNAMITES
A SLUGGISH LIVER
Crashes into sour bile, making
you sick and you lose
a days work.

Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts Like dynamite on a
sluggish liver. When calomel comes
into contact with sour bile it crashes
into it, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a so cent
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without max
ing you SICK you just go back and
get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may saliYate you, while if
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you
will wake up feeling great, full of
ambition and ready for work or play,
It is harmless, pleasant and safe to
give to children; they like it.

Bradford KnapD Tells Bankers and
Business Men How They May Help
To Bankers and Business Yen:
Just a final wore before we get TIC
the end of the planting seaso in the
South. The Southern farmer is fully
aroused; there is now no necessity for
talking to him about the growing of
food crops. The only thing to be
done now is to help with financial
credit. Action, not words, will count
now. The farmer has not mad an easy
time in some sections, unless there IS
help instead OF mere talk, acres VIII
remain implanted which otherwise
would grow some food crop for this
season. The farmer is willing to run
some risk for his countryIs sakes are
merchants and bankers any less pa
triotic? tNAM1
cessity uponRRR: 124356 - 6--6--6 {
TO impress upon business men the me-
cessity of looking after e Now
there are three things you can do:
1. Take hold and act. Find out
he farmers needs in the way of seed
by making careful canvass of the sit
uation. as many counties are doing,
then go out and buy the seed n fur
nish it to the farmer on credit at cost.
2. A good many acres are remain
ing implanted because of lack OF team
power and implements. You can
finance the farmer so he can purchase
needed implements and team power;
you can assist by purchasing ploWs'
and other machinery and renting them
to the farmers at reasonable rates, or
you can purchase tractors and ploWs.
as some are doing. put a crew on them
and pIow the land for the farmers at
so much an acre. You can also see
that every available plOw and team is
being used, and then if there is a short
age take some action.
g. You a look up the idle labor
about town and see that it gets out into
the country to help the farmer who is
ready to put in crops and needs the
finances pointed out above and the Ia
Dor to do the job. Get all unneces-
sarH road work and public improve
ment to stop until the needs of the
farms are supplied.
The season has been late and much
may yet be done. This is no time for
the holding of meetings to which the
farmers must be called out of the HELD.
You must go out and look this s1tua-
ton over yourselves and furnish the
credit, the finances and the power OF
your business organization for the SER
vice of the farmers. The President APP
pealed to all, He said, SThis is Your
opportunity for signal service. efficient

THE GREATEST BENEFIT.

Some folks are fond of specializing
about the benefits of war; We don't
believe there can be any benefits of
war equal to its losses. sufferings and
degradations. Certainly no sane and
soundly moral people would go to war
for the sake OF its so-ealled benefits.
Sometimes nations are compelled to
fight to- preserve precious things
which their forefathers have won, and
when a nation is in this position it
should derive all the benefits it can
from its misfortune. This nation can
reap some benefits from the present
war, and the nor vigorously it is
carried on the earlier the greatest
good will be secured. The greatest
good is peace for all nations In the fu-
ture.-Exchange.
