STATE CHIEFS

Adiutant General, Horace e.
lis, and DR.. Hurry Urge
Success Of Campaign.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 3.-The ire
mendous importance OF the 1917 Red
Cross Seal campaign is emphasized by
letters received at the headquarters OF
the Indiana tuberculosis society from
scores Of prominent Indiana citizens.
The three following extracts show
that state officials are urging the sue
cess of the Seal sale.
Adjutant General Harry 3. Smith
says, 1.-The work of the antitubercu-
lcsis societies is certainly worthy OF
the highest communication, and the
sale of Red Cross Seals should re-
ceive the support Of everyone inter
ested in saving society from the raw
ages OF the white plague heartily
endorse this work and wish you the
best of success in it,
The following para graph is quoted
from letter from Horace Ellis, state
superintendent OF public instruction:
The insistent efforts of the Society
for the Prevention of tuberculosis has
already, in my humble judgment, con-
forred multitudes of lasting benefits
upon our people, but its work must
be continued in order that we may be

Christmas Seals, they will be neglect

fight against tuberculosis must con.

race more fearful than the German en-
envy. It's conquest is more difficult.
The war against tuberculosis must so

make greater efforts than ever be-

GERMANY MAY STARVE BEFORE

Washington, March 10.-The U. S.
government is preparing for the
worst.
Warned by Germany that she has
spoken with finality as to her sub
marine intents, the government to-
day looked out upon prospect of ac-
tuaI war, following order to arm
American merchantmen.
Some officials fear Germany will
be as ruthless toward armed AmeTi-
can ships as she has been toward en-
envy merchantmen.
Another group, however, believe
that Germany will be more consider
ate of American shipping, eXercis-
ing international law mandate Of
visit and search before tOrpedOing.
Government meantime is relying
upon Pan-American cooperation to
aid in stamping out TeutOn intrigues
in western hemisphere, shatteTing
war schemes that would involve the
United States near home.
Looming out and above the war
cloud, however, is tremendous pos
sibility that peace may be just
around the corner.
Germany is hard pressed for food.
The fact is admitted by her leaders.
It appears to be a race between
war engulfng the two nations and
starvation swallowing Germany.
This government itself has no in
tention of making a war declaration;
Germany must force war, if it comes.

mendacious and malicious attacks on the.
allies Of the United States; his constant,
although indirect attacks on our own peo-
pie: his effort to distract attention from
fhe need of attacking the formidable and
ruthless German autocracy by slanderous-
" and falsely assailing our own country:
The Hun within our gates is more evil
enemy Of this republic, even, than the Hun
outside our gates; and his will be the re-
sponsibility if we are ever invaded by an
alien enemy.
Of these Huns within our gates those
who do most mischief are the men who
hold Office and the men who edit neWspa-
pers. The former having taken special
oath Of allegiance as public servants are
even more blameworthy than, although
perhaps not as influential as, the latter.
Their position as regards this war is pre-

perheads in the civil war.-From Roose-
