You must be either for or against
the soldier boys now marching to the
trenches in France. You must be
either for or against your country.
There is no halfway station; no be-
twixt and between.
Your dollar cannot be neutral.
Uncle Sam needs your financial
assistance. American success in this
war depends upon our sending an
army fully equipped, efficiently train
ed, amply supplied with every re.
quisite of the field. Every link in the
military chain must be strong. We
dare not take chances.
Germany's tremendous aggressive
ness in this conflict has been made
possible only by the highest efficiency
in every detail. The Germans were
prepared at every point when they
loosed the dogs of war and sent
their armies hurting through Bel
GUM on the way to Paris.
Let's not send to France the pride
of Americas young manhood the boys
for whom in any other emergency we
would make any sacrifice, any whit
less prepared.
Take care of your loyalty to the
army and your loyalty to the country
will take care of itself.
There are numerous ways of serv-
ing the Kaiser. And Withholding
your support from the world at large
in watching closely and expectantly
is by no means the least of these.
You would bitterly and instantly
resent any other charge of disloyalty
to your country. But calmly think
it over for a moment and you will
get the point.
You cannot afford, even uncon-
sciously, to leave open this wee loop
hole for question.
1t will be far cheaper and more
self-satisfying to buy Liberty bond.

LONDON, December 6.-The British
official communication dealing with the
operations in Mesopotamia says:
AFTER the action of October 20. in
which we established ourselves on the
Jebel Hamrin range (north Of Bagdad)
and on the left bank of the Diala river,
the Turks continued to hold position
in the hills and on the right bank or
that river north of Dely Abbas. Gen.
Marshall reports that this position was
attacked on the morning of Monday by
conyerging columns. one of which sue
cessfully bridged the Diala near XIII
Zobat.
"The enemy attempted to delay our
advance by flooding the area between
Nabrin and the Diala river close to
their junction, but by the morning OF
Tuesday our troops had driven back the
Turks and were in possession of the
sakal Yutan pass. through which the
road from Dely Abbas leads north.

Private Dealers Cooperate
With Officials for Delivering
10000 Pounds.
TWO CAR LOT SHIPMENTS

Private dealers today co-operated
with the District food administration
to supply Washington consumers with
sugar.
One hundred and twenty-nine thou
sand pounds Of sugar was turned over
to the food administration by the
Chapin-sacks Company for distribution
among wholesalers. The sugar arrived
yesterday In two car-lot shipments.
The combined efforts OF the District
and the national food administrations
were necessary to secure it's quick
movement to Washington, 1t was said
today. 1t was from a New Orleans
firm.
Clarence R. Wilson. District food ad-
ministrator. announced today that $50
barrels Of sugar were given over to
food officials by Christian Heurich, the
ice manufacturer, for distribution to re-
lieve the shortage here. The Connecti-
cut Pie Company gave ten barrels for
this purpose and promised fifty more
for that concern. This sugar was turned
over to the food administration three
weeks ago to relieve an acute shortage
at that time.
Several wholesale dealers will meet
Wilson this afternoon to
determine on the most equitable dfstri-
button of the sugar in order that fami-
lies in many sections of the city may
be supplied.
