WARNED SUBMARINE
 MAY DECIDE THE WAR

LONDON, May A grave warn ing that the submarine menace may be an importan, factor in deciding the outcome of the war was sounded to- day by Sir Albert Stanley. president .of the British board of trade. Ad- dressing a luncheon of business men, Sir Albert said:
 We have not yet found way of dealing with the submarine so as to remove the danger of their being an enormously important factor in de- termining the outcome Ot the war. The effect of the submarine war upon the existence of the British Empire is simply this-that we cannot con- tinue to bring into this country all the material and supplies required for our existence for the continuance of the war and for the actual needs of our industries"

EVERYBODY CAN HELP

EVERYBODY cannot so to war,
neither could the government OF the
United States use them if they could,
for while some men must bear the
brunt of the battle at the front, yet
others must remain at home to sup
ply the army and navy with materials,
ammunition and food stuff, and also
to see that the women and children
remaining at home are supplied with
the necessities of life.
While the government is now call
ing for soldiers and sailers they are
also calling for men to till the soil
and produce more food stuff. The
United States must supply great
part of the civilized world in this
war and this will be a heavy drain
upon the country unless every man,
woman and child is modified into
one common mass working to that
end.
In Washburn and vicinity there
are thousands of acres of land that
could be planted to crops, and in the
