STERN REALITIES

This nation is at war. The gov
eminent IS straining every nerve to
meet the crisis, but a vast majority
of the people. while mildly interested
in the news from Washington, are
going about their usual ayocations,
unconcerned and indifferent. They
do not take our participation in the
war seriously and have utterly failed
to comprehend the gravity of the sit
uation. They seem TO think that all
the United States will be called upon
to do is to loan a few billions of dol
lars to the allies at fair rate of in
terest, to continue to sell them food
and munitions of war at profitable
prices, TO possibly send a small ex-
peditionary force of men to France
for sentimental effect. and to organ
ize and drill a large army to defend
our shores in case of invasion. They
believe and predict that the war will
end in few months with a victory
Tor the allies and that the present
preparedness agitation is merely a
tempest in teapot.
These people are living in a FOOLS
paradise and are not looking the
facts in the face. What are the real
conditions? We are at war with the
central powers of Europe which. up
to the present time. have been able
to successfully defy the combined
armies and nayies of England
France, Russia. Italy and Rumania.
Despite enormous sacrifices OF life
and money. these central powers still
nave ample resources to prolong the
war. The greatest danger which
threatens them is lack OF food. Con-
ditions in Russia justify the assump-
ton that her offensive campaign has
collapsed, and that in future she will
merely wage defensive war or. what
is more probable, WIFI either con-
elude a separate peace or form an
alliance with Germany. ANY one Of
these eyentualities will result in ire
mendous benefits to the central pow
ers. The cessation Of Russia's Of
iensiye campaign will enable them to
move a large part of their troops and
guns from the eastern to the western
'front.' and to concentrate their eff
forts against England, France and

Italy. If Russia makes peace or en-
tiers into an alliance with the central
powers, their food problem will be
solved and they will be enabled to
continue the war indefinitely.
The strain of the conflict is telling
heavily on the entente powers and
their resources of men and money
are becoming depleted. The activity
of the German submarines is becom-
ing a serious menace to their food
supply and unless some method can
be devised of coping with the U-boats
England and France are likely to eX-
perience an acute famine and pos
sibly to be starved into submission.
In the last event Germany would I'M
doubtedly take over the fleets of
| England, France and Italy as one of
| the terms of peace. Then she would
be in position to devote her un-
divided attention to the United States
and with her allies would enter the
!
and an army of millions of trained
veterans, flushed with victory and
confident OF their ability to recoup
their losses by levying tribute upon
the wealth of this land OF plenty. To
Withstand such an attack would tax
the resources of this nation to the
utmost and would require supreme
sacrifices by every citizen for many
years to come.
These are the actual conditions
which confront us, and in face of
| them ii is worse than folly to mimi
mlze the danger and gravity of the
crisis and TO waste time in argaing
over the question of whether we
should have entered the war or to
what extent we should participate
in the fighting. 1t is no longer Eu-
ropes war, ii is our war and we must
be prepared to fight to the bitter end
for our existence and the perpetuity
of the institutions which we love. AS
Secretary of the Interior Lane we'll
says: The only safe basis for this
country to proceed upon is to assume
that the United States alone is en-
tering upon a war with GERMANY
war which will tax its full resources
and its entire fighting strength"
Thus far the nation has not re-
sponded as it should to the call of
duty. Congress is wasting valuable

scriptions for the liberty loan asked

pointing. The nation is sleeping

Up TO THE FARMERS

In this great time, when every citi-
zen must do his part. the President
| has made his chief appeal to the men
who live on the land He is right
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
As 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
walton will be won or lost in Amer
lea. The kaiser can not whip the
| French and English armies and the
| English navy while England has food
But it is still possible that the Ger
man submarines may be able to keep
food enough from reaching England
to starve her into submission.
If the submarines win, the first
item in the kaiser's terms of peace
will be the English fleet. With the
English fleet in his possession, the
kaiser will be master of the world.
What will happen to us then?
Every man who stops to think knows
the answer. We shall have money,
food, labor, d-everything that is
desirable in the world except the
power to protect what we have. Ex-
perts estimate that it will take us
nine months to get ready to meet a
German amy of even 100000 men,
with modern artillery. Under such
circumstances, would the Germans
treat us better than they have al
ready treated Belgium and FRANCE?
Even if the armies of our allies
should crush the 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 if
they do not only one course can
make us safe, and that is to grow
Good enough on our farms for our
selves and our allies, and to put ships
enough on the sea to carry the food.
in spite Of the submarines. to the
men who are fighting our fight.
If the war lasts beyond this sum-
mer, it will be the American farmer
who will win or lose the war, who
will overcome militarism and au-
tocracy, or allow them to spread and
control the world ourselves in
cluded.
This is no fancifuI picture, but
sober fact. Many a man will make
light of it until he comes to think it
over, but / venture to say that few
will treat it lightly after careful
thought, It is no more impossible
than the great war itself appeared to
be, only a few days before it began.
1t 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 thoroughly, they will not
be enough. The final decision viii
still rest in the hands of the men
who raise our food in the first place
The clear duty of the nation is tc
: guarantee the farmers d fair price
for their crops when grown, and q
reasonable supply of labor at har.
vest. The clear duty of the farmer
is to raise food enough to win this
war for democracy against kaiserism
No such responsibility has ever
rested on any class of men since the
world began as rests today on the
farmers of America.
