The Necessity of
Feeding Our Allies

The chances are many Americans are
puzzled every time Food Controller
Hoover issues a statement urging US 70
cut ont all waste People are apt 70
think with the bountiful crops this year
We should have an abundance.
But one Of the vital needs of the
time is that America should provision
France and England. Even in normal
times England does not raise enough
food TO feed herself And these are far
from normal times. And a large part
Of the food-growing country of France
has been temporarily taken away
France and England need food and we
should furnish it. We can, if we use our
supplies here al home with reasonable
prudence.
Why is it our imperative duty TO help
feed our allies? Because our allies are
holding the lines in France and Flanders
while we make ready 70 take up the fight
for civilization and for liberty. Only by
their work can We have the necessary
time TO prepare. Every battle they fight
is battle for America
We are giving them all the money they
need to supply their armies. We must
now give them food TO feed both the
armies and the folk back home.
The Germans and the Austrians are
rapidly approaching empty stomachs.
We simply can't afford TO let the English
and French have any starvation prob
lens on their hands.

Germany's Sin In
The Bible Lands

When the day of reckoning comes for
the kaiser and his advisers, not the least
of the sins charged up against them VIII
be the woe they have permitted 10 come
10 thousands, even millions. of Christian
men. women and children in the Bible
lands.
II will not do for the Prussians 10 seek
20 evade their blood-guilt by saying they
are not responsible for what the MoSlem
Turks do The. terrible record. smeared
with the blood of the innOcents. cannot
be explained away. Before the war there
were millions of Armenian and Syrian
Christians turnout the Turkish posses
sions in Asia Minor. BY their industry
their thrift, they were the worthieSt
portion Of the population. The instant
Turkey was dragooned into the war by
the PrussianS, a reign OF he'll unmiti-
gated began.
Thousands upon thousands Of Chris
tians were maSSacred. The women and
children were driven from their homes
and many of the former were sold IN the
streets for as low as 81 apiece.
In one instance the Armenlans were
ably defending themselves when German
army officers brought up cannon and dis
lodged the unfortunateS. Doubtless in
stances could be multiplied, showing
German participation.
But even aside from this, much Of the
guilt rests upon German shoulders be-
cause the servants Of the kaiser have had
a finger in every Turkish pie. They have
dominated the Turkish government.
This being the case, il is clear II the
Germans had wished 10 save the Ar
menians and Syrians, they could have
done So An order, or to put il more
mildly, a suggestion from them to the
Turks would have been sufficient. No
such hint was given. The Germans.
busily engaged in giving the Belgians
and the French a taste OF ruthlessness,
had no objection 10 their Moslem friends
and allies inventing their own peculiar
brand Of schrecklichkeit for the unfor-
tunates in the Bible lands.

DIR. Hills Insists the Shock
ing Ravages of Prussian
Soldiery Are Officially Incited

Those who heard DR.. Newell Dwight
Hills terrible indictment of the German
army at the Liberty loan mass meeting
were brought face to face with war as
made in Berlin.
Stories there have been in plenty OF
Teuton barbarism in Belgium, but, IN
general, they have been accepted at a
heavy discount.
II was hard for Americans to believe
that civilized men could be guilty Of the
shocking cruelties Of which the Germans
stood accused
individuals, it was thought, might
have committed such excuses, but sure
" they were only isolated instances. The
Germans as a whole,it was believed. were
innocent Of revolving crimes against non
contestants,
1t has remained for DR.. Hills. who
went to Europe as a judge and returned
filed with burning Indignation against
all things German, to drive home the
fact that the German army has been
guilty of wholesale outrage on a scale
unsurpassed in human history.
He has told in plain language the re-
voting truth concerning those incidents
which have been spoken OF only m y his
pers.
He has described in detail the commits
sion Of crimes against women and chill
dren so vile in character that the annals
of degeneracy scarcely furnish a parallel.
He backs his charges with evidence
sufficient to convict in any court OF law.
He deliberately accuses the German
government of having carried out these
crimes with scientifc4throroness and ac-
cording to a prearranged schedule.
Whether or not DR.. Hills is justi-
fed in his conclusion that these things
are done by advice and consent OF the
German government, he has convinced
all who heard him that the people Of the
conquered nations are groaning under
regime of barbarie cruelty uHequaled
since the days of Goth and Saracen-
His words should be pondered by those
who would make premature or incomplete
peace with the Teuton beast.
