Our Work Is Cut Out!
We've Got To Beat Germany
Or Germany Will Beat Us!
Germany is not starving.
Rut Germany is hungry.

Germany is not starving
But Germany is hungry.
Procuring a satisfying meal becomes
daily more Of task and less of a possi-
bility.
The masses never know what it is To
have their hunger absolutely appeasea.
Every nope raised by conQuerng ne"
territory has been dashed.
The conquest of Rumania brought ht-
tie food to Germany.
Grain and other foodstutts found ia
Wallachia were largely used ln ieeal"g
the German armies.
The same will be true Of the Russian
territory overrun by the kaiser men.
The question Of transportation IS seu-
Gus in Germany
The railroads are breaking down Tor
want of repairs and lack Of new rolling
stock.
fit is impossible for the Germans to
keep their present lines in goor order
it is even more impossible 70 find men
and materials to build new lines to carry
food to the people at home.
The railroads are taxed 70 their iuii
capacity in carrying men and munitions
to the fronts and returning wounded and
sick men.
So Germany is confronted by the fact
that the larder is slowly but surely
dwindling.
A recent Josh" printed in German
paper makes this clear
Cards emitting the people to supplies
are issued regularly, but there are no
supplies to furnish what the cards call
for.
To emphasize this some wag issued
these instructions to puzzled cooks
Take the butter card, stew it down
with the meat card, and add the egg
card. In a separate saucepan cook the
potato and vegetable cards together, and
when done add these to the stew.
For desert warm up the potato card,
add the milk card, sweeten with sugar
card, and bake it with the bread and
biscuit cards.
Then wash your hands with the soap
card and wipe them dry with the table
linen voucher"
Now people who can print this kind
of humor andd laugh over it are not yet
In dire straits.
The starving man does not enjoy jests
about his starvation.
1t is just as well, therefore, for Amer
leans to steel themselves TO the thought
that Germany cannot be starved into sub
mission.
She must be beaten into submission.
She must be beaten so badly, so thoro-
ly that even German wits viii be unable
to extract humor out of the situation.
The German military machine must be
destroyed
The German military leaders and their
ruling caste must be toppled from the
places of power which make them a
standing menace to the peace and order
Of the world
Only when Germany is no longer a
war machine only when the people really
rule and democracy is established there.
will it be possible for this country and
the allies to lay down their arms and
take up once more the ordinary and sat
isfying tasks of civilization.
The job outlined is huge one
1t will call upon America for all her
resources Of men. money and materials.
But it's tob that has to be done.
We have got to break Germany now.
or Germany will break US.

IN AMERICAN PLANS

London, Nov. 1.-THE king and
queen this afternoon entertained the
members of the American mission to
the inter-allied conference at lunch
con in Buckingham palace. Walter
Hines Page, the American ambassa-
dor, introduced the commissioners to
their royal hosts. The king chatted
with each of the members concerning
the United States and displayed deep
interest in their work in England
Later COL House had a two hours
conference with Lord Northcliffe, who
yesterday declined an appointment as
chairman of the British air board
This evening COL House dined with
Premier Lloyd George.
Other members of the American
mission continued their conferences
with British officials on phases of the
war situation.
The work of the American mission
to the inter-alled conference is prov.
ing most satisfactory from both the
American and the British standpoint
The conferences of the experts have
resulted in an exchange of much fuller
information concerning the resources
and needs of the allies, both in the
military and the economic fields, and
the American ability to aid, than has
been Obtainable heretofore.

St. Paul, Nov. 1.-THE title of mid
dleweight champion, won by Mike o.
DOwd of St. Paul, Nov. IA and once
held by the late Robert Fitzsimmons,
descended to A. Mccoy through his
defeat Of George Chi, the Pittsburgh
boxer April 7, 1914. Though Mike
Gibbons Of St. Paul is frequently rated
as the best man in the world a. 15S
+ pounds, many critics recognized Nc
COy's claim.
Stanley Ketchel, the great Michl-
gan boxer, won the title from Billy
Pake of Illinois and the latter re-
claimed it when Ketchel died in 1910.
Frank Klause of Pittsburgh claimed
the championship next when he won
from Papke on foul in Paris in 1913
and Chi derived him of his rights to
it by twice knocking him out in the
same year
,s0 Chip held it uatil defeated by Nc
Coy. Gibbons experts said, defeated
Mccoy in@1914,| but Mccoy managed
to stay through the ten rounds OF
their battle and to O'Dowd belongs the
