FOR The Farmer

1t has been repeatedly pointed out
that in purchasing Liberty Loan bonds
the farmers Of the United States were
furnishing the means to their best
customers 20 purchase the product Of
their farms. Much Of the proceeds "
the Liberty Loan, both that used by
the United States government ana the
amount loaned to the allies, is to be
expended in purchasing food and slip
plies for their armies from the farm
ers Of the country.
There is another aspect Of this IN

THE ARcM-PIRATE 'TORRFIED" BY LITTLE ACTS
OF PIRACY


II VERY time the secret acts and speeches Of Kaiser
~ Wilhelm are revealed he becomes more brutal,
more evil ngure-menacing the world
Back in 1904 when Russia locked in bitter warfare
with Japan several Russian vessels did things which
utterly shocked the German Kaiser he took his trusty
pen hand and wrote to his dear Nlcky" about them.
In OF these notes Wilhelm complained Russian
steamer stopped German ship and carried of the post
bags containing correspondence to Japan. The Kaiser
said this was a violation Of international law. Nlcky
humby apologlzed.
little later Willy complained Russian cruiser oar
red off the steamer Seandla TO unknown des
tnaon He denounced this open violation Of in
ternatOna law and nearly adequate to piracy Nicy
once spoogzed but said in extenuaton that ships
were carrying contraband TO Japan.
Now the point about this is how sensitive the Kaiser
is 70 international law when few German mail bags
and shipments OF German materials concerned
how indifferent when the lives and property Of other
people involved.
The sinking Of the Lussna, with the resultant as
sasslnation OF men, women and children, violation
OF international law. The sinking Of vessels flying tho
American nag. when at peace with Germany,
was piracy The deliberate shelllns Of fe-boas was
nothing but the brutal act Of who delight In the
code OF the most depraved pirates OF history.
