Three Ways to Aid.

There are three lines on which
America can lend great material help:
First. by doubling her output of
munitions: second. by constructing
large merchant marine quickly; third,
by using this merchant marine to send
raw materials abroad. In mobilizing
industry America may have to sacrifice
her luxuries. Factories which are max
ing touring cars should be transform
ed into war factories. America can also
help greatly in increasing the allies

geo airplanes. She can do it and it
would be decisive element.
Summing up. VI. Loucheur said:
Never despise or underrate the
strength of your enemy. That is

strongest. We have, indeed powerful

TOBACCO MEN TO PROTEST.
Merchants Object to Chamberlain
Plan to Bar Weed from Fighters

NEW YORK, April "A protest
against the provision in the Chamber
lain military bill prohibiting the sale
and use of tobacco by the army and
navy a places used for training pur-
poses was sent TO members of Con-
gress today by the Tobacco Merchants,
Association of the United States. The
association declares that this provision
is' in "amazing contrast with the policy
followed by the belligerent nations in
Europe of not only encouraging the
use of tobacco by the men in the
trenches. but of actually supplying
them with tobacco part of their
daily rations."
We respectfully submit" the pro
test continues, that the enactment of
such law. besides inficting a serious
blow upon the entire tobacco industry
would indeed be most harmful to the
morale OF the military and naval serv-
ice of the country. Actual experience
of the existing war has demonstrated
beyond doubt that tobacco is an abso-
lutte necessity to the men in the
trenches"

No Aims of Usurpation.

None of the allies indulges in aims
of usurpation. We all desire that the
territories wrecked by force shall be
restored and that frontiers shall be
definitely established in accordance
with nationality. In other words, the

slider their victory complete only when
they have attained the fundamental
conditions of the Presidents program

rope, especially to the southeast, upon
lines which will insure durable peace
and eliminate every pretext for new
conflicts. We can speak of a peace
without annexations, il by annexation
we mean usurpation. With this i'm
portant reservation, the words peace
without annexations represent the
formula suggested to the allies by the
German social democrats.
"A stalemate peace. a peace based
upon the statu quo, all these formulas,
mostly of German origin. accord COM
