WHY AMERICA FIGHTS

The committee on public informa- :

first of series of Publications enti-
tied, How the war came to Am eri-
ca,' in an effort to enlighten th 9
American people on the real caus es
OF this nations entry into the world
conflict. Prepared under the direc-
tion of Secretaries Lansing, Baker
and Daniels. and George Creel, the
tents of the pamphlet plainly indicate
that President Wilson also shared in
it's preparation.
A feature of the first publication is
the disclosure that before Count on

bassador at Washington, left this
country for Germany, he begged

MOSES BEGAN n

Registration for selective draft
was known thousands of years ago.
The first chapter of Number tells how
Moses in the second year after the
exodus from Egypt was commanded
to choose from among the various
tribes men to tabulate the names Of
the males over the age of 20 who were
able to go to war. The passage, in
part, follows:
Take ye the sum of all the congre.
cation of the children of Israel by
their families, by their fathers
houses, according to the number of
the names. every male by their polls;
from 20 years of age and upward, all
that are able to go forth to war, thou
and Aaron shaM number them by
their hosts, And with you there
be man of every tribe. (Here are
mentioned the men who are to assist
in the registration.)
"And Moses and Aaron took these
men that are mentioned and they as-
sembled All the congregation together
on the first day Of the second month;
and they declared their pedigrees
after their families by their fathers
houses. according to the number of
the names from 20 years old and
upward. -

AMERICAS GREAT MEN

America is filled with big men and
they are confined to no political party,
nor to any particular part of the coun-
try. Among these men are such men
as William Howard Taft and Theo-
dore Roosevelt, both former presi-
dents and men who. during the 1915
presidential campaign opposed the re-
election of President Wilson. Now
both of these men are doing all that
they are capable of doing to better
prepare the country for war, to put it
in position to win in the great strug-
gle of democracy against autocracy.
Then there is Senator Hiram john
son of California, the man who prob
ably more than any other republican
contributed to the defeat of Charles
Evans Hughes. the republican candi-
date, working hand in hand with the
defeated candidate and President Will
sons administration in endeavor to
demonstrate to the world that the
United States of America is united and
working as one man when it comes to
international affairs.
In this connection William j. Bryan
of Nebraska, once a member of Presi-
dent Wilson'S cabinet and pronounced
pacilist. should not be forgotten. Mr.,
Bryan was for peace and against war
SO long as there was tangible evidence
that war could be avoided in honorable
manner. Today he is one of the
staunchest supporters of the adminis-
tration's war policies and is using his
power of oratory and gift as writer
to further the interests of the nation.
Henry Ford Of Detroit, of automo-s
bile fame and almost equally famous
as a pacifst. the man who financed the
peace ship and party which visited
Europe during the year 1915, the man
who was understood to stand for peace
at almost any price. is today one of the &
strongest supporters in the country of
the administrations war policy. His
influence and the influence Of his mil
lions and his great working machine
are doing for the government every
thing that can be done to advance the.
cause Of Americanism which today is
but another word for democracy and
which ultimately will be known as the
dose that acted as the curative. the.
antitoxin for the ills of autocracy with
an epidemic Of which the world was
more certainly threatened than at any
time since the birth of the American
republic

PRODUCERS AND HIGH PRICES

When the producers of the country
realize that it is as much to their in
terest as to the interest of the con.
sumers that prices be kept within
reasonable bounds. a solution of the
present problem of high costs will be
near. If, on the other hand, they
either fail or refuse to heed the de-
mands made for readjustments. they
face certain ruin at the hand of a
much abused public. Government
control apparently is the publics
idea of solution and if the produc-
ers do not cooperate to relieve con.
ditions which have caused SO much
unnecessary suffering, the people
will demand that action be taken
which will exclude the interests of
the producers altogether.
The American people are naturally
patriotic and willing accept higher
prices in wartime as part of their
patriotic duty. They expect it. Bnt
when prices are forced to unpreced-
ented levels as the result of deliber-
ate attempts to reap enormous profits
they lmediately resent it, U United
public opinion can sway congress as
no other force in the land and if pro-
ducers continue their tactics the de-
mands of the people will force con-
gress to step in and handle the guilty
ones without regard to their real le-
gitimate interests. 1t has already
been demonstrated that the Ameri-
can people do without things and it
IS apparent that they are prepared to
go to the limit In economi2ing by re-
fusing to continue to purchase such
articles as long as the prices remain
at present high levels.
The attempt of the United States
Steel corporation to obtain huge pro-
fits from the sale to the government
of steel plants for ship building pur-
poses is an example of the profitable
patriotism which the American peo-
pie will not and can not tole rate if
we expect to wit the war. Before the
war the steel corporation sold it's
product at S21 to s25 ton. Con-
tracts to commercial ship-building
concerns at the beginning of 1915
were made at the rate of over S42 a
a ton and in few weeks that eorpor-
alton made price of 1896 ton on
steel plate to be used in the construc-
tion of the gigantic American mer-
chant fleet which is expected to go
far in solving the German submarine
menace.
Coal mine operators have decided.
Other producers must act quickly.

sacrificing its blood on the fields Of
battle in Europe, the mothers and

be taken until he had the chance to
make one final plea for peace to his
sovereign" This explains the long
delay, five weeks, in placing armed
guards on American merchant ships
after diplomatic relations between
the two countries had been broken
Oft 1t shows plainly President Will
sons reluctance to plunge the United

go long way in convincing those
