They are using waste hcmlock tan bark Instead Of expensive rag stock in the manufacture of felt roofing. From 20 to 30 per cent of the rags is being replaced in some mills by waste bark. This means considerable saving In the manufacture of felt roofing. The extent of the saving rendered poss.- ble by the new method Is pointed out by the fact that the roofing mills of the United States have a total esti- mated annual production of 237,OO0 tons of finished roofing of all kinds, equal to about 11,30O.OOO squares" Fly square" of roofing Is meant 100 square feet.

GERMANS = PLAN TO INVADE
q UNITED STATES.

!, Former Ambassador James w.
Gerard in a speech delivered by him
in Boston last week stated that Ad-
mirar Won Tfipitz instituted unre-
stricted submarine warfare against
England with the intention of sub
DUNG England by hunger, and. then
coming over to the United States and
collecting the price of the war from
US.
Mr.. Gerard added: THAT if we had
not gone into this war, Germany
would have fulfilled its intention to
come over here afterward and attack
us, and would have done SO almost
with the applause of the rest of the
world. I can tell you also that ev-
erything consistent with. honor was
done to keep us out of the war"
Mr.. Gerard has been this. icountry's
ambassador at Berth tor number
of years and undoubtedly knows full
we'll the intentions Of the German
Autocracy. 1t is now up to the Unit
ed States to forge it's immense re-
sources into fighting force and help
to defeat the plans of the men who
would make us pay the price of the
whole war.

ONLY OF LOCAL APPLICATION.

The assertion to be found in some
newspapers that this country has not
yet commenced to seriously consider
that it is at war with Germany may
be applicable to few localities but is
far from being applicable to any con-
siderable portion of the United STATES.
AS a matter Of fact, every industry
in this country is being modified
with impetuous speed, and will soon
be lined up one behind the other in
the ranks of war.
Party lines in Congress have dis
appeared. Both sides of the Senate
and House are heartily supporting the
President. Many of the bills which he
desires are being passed by unanimous
consent, and the vote is so unanimous
in many instances, that the Presiding
Officer declares them carried without
even asking for negative vote.

He could have avoided fighting. But

THE SEARCH FOR A PRECEDENT.

Since the days of Nero there is no
record in the annals of national burg
laries national robberies, wanton, un-
provokeG wholesale, frightful de-
struction of human life and property,
at all comparable to the Kaiser's
record in Belgium. ...
The nearest approach to it is found
in the destruction of Jerusalem by
the hordes of Pagan Romans nearly
two thousand years ago. Even then
the Pagans had considerable provoca-
ton for what they did. They killed
and starved to death, according to
Josephus, one million one hundred
thousand Jews, and took about one
hundred thousand of the most able
bodied back to Rome to work as
slaves. The Kaiser has the pagan
record beaten in several particulars. I.
The Belgians were peaceful, in
dustrious, God-serving people who
had never done anything to offend the
German ruler. The Jews were fight
ing among themselves and did many
things to exasperate the Romans.
The German Empire had entered in
to solemn treaty never to invade Bel
GUM. TIL Jews had no similar treaty
with the Romans.
After the destruction of the city
and the Jewish army, the Romans did
not continue their policy of starvation.
Not so with the Kafise4Fb his policy OF
starvation continues rtodthis day. His
submarines arei sinking the wheat-lad-
en- ships sent by kind-hearted people
to help feed the starving women and
children of Belgium.
The German people cannot be re-
sponsible for such frightfulness.
America has enlisted to help save the
soul of Germany from such horrible
inhumanity. Kaiserism has no place
in the civilization of the present time.
May the Lord of Hosts assist the
American people in this struggle for
humanity.

A CALL TO PATRIOTIC SERVICE,

(By Peder Petersen. Cedar Falls. dis
trict member of State War Emer-
gency Food Committee.)
1t is we'll for us to remember that
our country is at war with the
strongest military power in the world.
No one can foretell when the war will
end. No one can foresee what sacri-
fices we will be called upon to make.
It may be that the United States will
be obliged to make supreme effort
before victory comes. .
We cannot afford to take chances.
We must not only raise large army
and equip a large navy, but we must
also mobilize our industries. II there
is any one lesson that this war has
taught so. far, it is that it is a war
of manufacturers and farmers as we'll
as a war of soldiers.
The greatest contribution that To-
wa can make to this nation and to our
allies this year is to increase the food
supply. 1t is our solemn patriotic
duty to do this. The burden of food
production rest heavily upon us. How
shall we meet it?
Production in Iowa is limited by a
shortage of labor. The necessary la
Dor. however, is available in this
state if it can be trained and used
What is needed is one or more farm
labor bureaus in every county. These
labor bureaus should list the farmers
who need help and then set about
systematically to supply that help.
City boys under military age should
be enlisted in this campaign to help
during the vacation on some farm, or
to take care of garden, or to do some
other productive labor.
City girls should be taught how
to save and can or dry all surplus
garden and fruit products. This can
easily be accomplished through dem
onstratiOns in city schools. They
should also receive instruction in
gardening and be encouraged to help
in this work.
Arrangements should be made with
merchants commercial
clubs and others to release help TO
work on farms during the rush per-
iods. This can be done by taking
census of the city labor and locating
those who have had farm experience.
Fortunately the rush period on the
farm comes at the time Of the slack
period in the city and the transfer OF
help for a short period can be made
without serious sacrifice to anyone. IN
many cases, in fact, it may be al
vantageous to do So In any case: 1t
will be patriotic thing to do in this
year of labor shortage.
Many people who are retired Will
be glad to help so far as they are
physically able In fact many farm
ers who have retired have signif1ed
their intention to do all the work pos
sible this summer. Doubtless all will
be in the field as much as they are
able. Again there are people VINO
have retired who should be enlisted
in this food production campaign.
A sentiment against idleness should
be developed through the papers,
churches, schools, commercial clubs
and all other organizations that
will make it a distinctively unpopu-

MRS. LIBBIE MCCARTHY.

At the dear old home at Spring
Branch on Monday morning at half
past ten o'clock, we attended the fu-
neral services of Mrs. Libbie Nc
Carthy, which were conducted by
Rev. Hudson, of this city, and were
largely attended, as she was woman
greatly beloved and respected by the
community at large.
Libbie was born in November OF
the year 1S47; hence at the time OF
her death was in her seyentieth year
and had spent most of her useful life
in the old home near the Spring
Branch bridge, where she so recently
died.
Her son, George Packer, of AMMAN
dale, Mimi, and her daughter, Mrs
Lo. Davis, of Delaware, together with
her husband, two brothers, Charles
Grouse, of Minneapolis, and George
Grouse, Of Manchester, two sisters,
Mrs. Anna Dawson, of Chicago, and
Mrs. G. D. Elder, of Columbia Falls,
Mont, and several grandchildren, with
very many friends, are left to mourn
their loss.
She has been a great sufferer for
more than year, but has bravely and
even cheerfully kept up until the very
last moment of her life, and thus it
was that the blow came SO seVerlyot to
pastor E must. have ave been very soothing
to those bereaved, when he spoke Of
the great loss to the circle of friends
but the eternal gain that was hers.
Our sympathies are with the be-
reaved husband, and the immediate
members of the family, but the dear
old bo0klOf comfort tells of no pres
ent healing for sOrTpwA No chasten-
ing for the present seemeth Joyous,
but grieveous, but afterwards it
yieldeth peaceable fruits OF righteous
ness, and it is sure to come-sure as
spring and summer to follow winter.
We know it is hard to bear, and
the laugh dies on our lips, the lamp
burns dim through our tears, and we
of comfort, lest we seem as those
who mock a grief they cannot know;
but few emotions are more prevalent
than sorrow and no home is secure
from the invasion Of grief.
Interment was made in Oakland
beside so many others of the fire
side circle.
IT'S the grand central point of all
railways I'LL,
All roads center here when they end;
IT'S the final result of all tourists,
All rival lines meet here and blend.
All tickets, all mile books, and passes
II stolen or begged for or bought,
On whatever road or division,
Will bring you at last to this shop.
If you pause at the city of trouble
Or wait in the Valley of Tears
Be patient, the train will move on
ward :,
And rush down the track of the years.
Whatever the place is you seek for,
Whatever your aim, or your quest
You shall come at last with rejoicing
To the Beautiful City of Rest.
You shall store all your baggage of
worries
You shall feel perfect peace in the
realm,
You shall sail with old friends on
Z fair waters
With joy and delight at the helm;
You shall wander in cool, fragrant
gardens
With those who have loved you the
best,
And the hopes that were lost in LIES
journey
You shall find in the City Of Rest!
w. MRS. Ida ELDER.

WHY NOT FINANCE JAPAN?
(Register and Leader.)

| (Register and LeaderO
| 1t is hard to understand why
more is not made of the fact that
Japan has an army Of substantially
million men and could be mo-
bilized within few weeks, and
used with tremendous effect on the
eastern front, either to bolster up
Russia or to conduct an independ-
ent campaign in the southeast
against Bulgaria and Turkey.
If there is to be any question of
the stability of Russia why should
anything be CHANGED when there is
an army fully as we'll equipped as
the Russian army, and possibly bet
ter organized, that could be put
into Russia to sustain the govern
ment, or transported to the battle
front in few weeks?
1t has been suggested more than
once that the American part being
for the time being at least one of
financial backing to the allies, the
United States should extend to
Japan the assurance of financial
assistance in putting the Japanese
army into the field
Nothing could possibly have the
determining effect on the war that
I'm announcement of Japanese mo-
bilization would have. The German
military leaders who do not an
ticipate that the United States can
send an army in time to save the
situation, would labor under no
misapprehension with regard to
Japan The appearance of a Jap
anese army anywhere on the east
line would practically determine
the war. Whatever hope is being
bolstered by the Russians waver-
ing would be gone.
If objections be offered to the en-
ployment of Japanese troops in
Europe, we might just as we'll meet
that objection. France has brought
Singalese from South Africa, Eng
land has brought the natives from
India, and Germany has co-operated
with the Turk This is not a war
of select races or colors, but a
world war, in which world fortunes
are to be determined. If Japan
was worthy to be taken into the
partnership, Japan is worthy to
furnish part Of the fighting force.
Moreover, now is good time to
get over the anti-Japanese feeling,
for Japan is bound to come out OF
the war powerfully entrenched,
and might just as we'll be taken in
to the family of nations on even
terms. ) ...
Everybody knows today what the
outcome of this war will be, what
it inevitably must be. Why should
another million or two of the pick
ed young men of Europe be slaugh-
tered through this long summer?
Why should the war be allowed to
drag along until we may have lost
several hundred thousands of the
boys of America? The best thing
that can happen for Germany is to
bring the war to ID -Jspeedy end.
And what could 50 powerfully cShl
tribue to thatliend right now as a
Japanese mobilization?
The United States could do more
for the general cause by financing
Japan than in; any other way. The
Japanese could at least attend to
Turkey and Bulgaria. The Japanese
could keep Russia from going to
pieces, or at least hold the eastern
lines intact if, Russia should M go; to-
pieces: The japanese ara ready,
they have the men and they are
Within easy striking distance All
they need is the money, and money
is to be our chief contribution during
tho first year.
