IlF YOU have never read an editorial in any newspaper
read this
u It is distnctivey personal; it covers subject of
monumental importance.
Over in France the giants of war are graphing Last
week the allies engaged in of the terrific and
cessful offenses of the
It part of series of drives against autocracy
that victorious, will make Americans vassals of a
despot.
Other drives will follow, but the question arises HOW
MUCH LONGER CAN THE BRITISH AND FRENCH
KEEP TT UP9
Much depends America, but not altogether
American power which is but feebly represented
The other side present and which be extensively
and effectively represented for some time.
MORE DEPENDS RIGHT NOW ON AMERICAN
FOOD.
The British and French will not quit, of course, this
side of positive defeat There is too much at stake for
them.
MOREOVER THEY HAVE A PRIDEFUL CON-
Germ IN PROSECUTING THE WAR AS FAR AS
POSSIBLE WITHOUT AMERICAN FIGHTING AID
1t is obvious that the harder they hit the enemy the
less arduous and hazardous will be the duties of the
American army when it gets into action.
This country is not trying to avoid any of its RESPONSE
btes to shirk any STEEL nor is the Capital News
making argument for avoidance We only state
dton to emphasize the point that the thing for all to-
do NOW to lend energies to strengthen the fighters
already in the field and to mpar to the coming efforts of
soldiers maximum of effectiveness with mini
of loss.
WE CAN BEST AID THE ALLIED ARMIES NOW
BY SUPPLYING THEM WITH FOOD.
If that shall not be done"they may be compelled
to abandon their aggressiveness and THEREBY PER
NIT THE GERMANS TO FILL IN THEIR GAPS AND
STRENGTHEN THEIR POSITIONS IN A MANNER
THAT WILL MEAN ADDED LOSS OF AMERICAN
LIVES.
Wheat, meat and sugar-they are the things most
needed on the other side
THREE LESS BITES OF MEAT A DAY in this
country will mean enough surplus from America to sup
ply the needs Of the fighters.
A FEW SPOONFULS LESS OF SUGAR A DAY will
supply the pressing needs in France.
SLICE OR TWO LESS OF WHEAT BREAD Al
DAY will provide surplus of wheat from America to
supply the needs of the fighters
1t ought to be easy to do that much. LET'S DO IT.

CONSPIRED TO
AROUSE HINDUS
TO REVOLUTION
Germans Had Worldwide
Plot to Make Trouble
In India
THAN 100
ARE INDICTED
Plans Formulated in San
Francisco Approved
In Berlin
(By Associated Press.)

San Francisco, July s.-Prepara-
tions for war with England were
being made in the United States by
German agents and Hindu agitators
| more than a year prior to the out
break OF the European war. accord
ing to a statement made here
by U. S. District Attorney John w.
Preston.
This assertion was in connection
with the fling of 139 indictments in
the United States court here in
connection with the alleged viola
ton of American neutrality. Two
separate sets of indictments were re-
turned-9s bearing on a Worldwide
plot to foment revolution in India
and Al on the socalled steamship
Sacramento case in which ii Is
charged an effort was made to pro-
vision German warships at sea.
Several of the defendants are men
toned in each set of indictments.
The socalled Hindu revolution plot
was summarized in a statement by
Preston in which he said:
One hundred and five men are in
volved. Ninety-eight have been in
dicted and seven named as Cocoon
spirators About half of this num-
Der are without the jurisdiction OF
the United States.
For more than a year prior to the
outbreak Of the European war GER
tain Hindus in San Francisco. and
certain Germans were preparing
openly for war with England. At the
outbreak of the war Hindu leaders,
members of the German consulate
here and attaches Of the German
government began to form plans to
carry out plan to foment revolution
in India, for the purpose of freeing
India, and aiding Germans in theiy
military operations. Hindus on the
Pacific coast were canvassed and
these willing to take part in the
revolution were registered Ennis
saries were financed by the German
agents here and Immediately dis
ratched to Germany. Shortly there
after what IS known as the India
committee. an adjunct of the Ger
man foreign Office was created in
Berlin. This India committee had
the personal attention of Alfred Zim-
hermann.
Thereafter the operations of the
plotters in the United States were
directed from Berlin. The conspir-
acy took the form of various mill
tary enterprises. Arms and ammuni-
ton in large quantities were pur-
chased with German money. Men
were recruited and sent to India.
Military expeditions were organized
to be carried on from America and
Siam. Arms and ammunition were
smuggled through China and Japan.
The whole conspiracy was a well
defined effort to create a revolution
In India for the purpose Of forcing
England to maintain large bodies OF
troops in India that otherwise would
have been for use against Germany
on the battle front"
Alfred Zimmerman referred to in
Preston's statement, is foreign sec
rotary Of Germany. Names of those
indicted in the Hindu plot case are
on the secret file of the United States
court.

Will Follow the Directions
Of the Food Admin
istration
EVERY WOMAN IN
COUNTRY WANTED
Wheatless Meals and Saw
ing of Fats Especial
ly Urged
CBy Associated Press.)

Washington, July "A million
American women have signed pledges
to follow the food conservation di-
rections of the food administration.
Within the next three weeks the ad-
ministration hopes to enroll virtually
every woman in the United States.
The first list Of directions was sent
out Saturday to be posted in the
kitchens of women who have Joined
the administration. They follow:
One wheatless meal a day, use
corn, oatmeal, rye or harley bread
and non-wheat breakfast foods.
Order bread "a hours in advance so
your baker will not bake beyond his
needs. Cut the loaf on the table and
only as required. Use stale bread
for cooking, toast, etc. Eat less cake
and pastry.
Beef, mutton or pork not more
than once daily. Use freely vege-
tables and fish. At the meat meal
serve smaller portions and stews in
stead of steaks. Make dishes of all
left-overs. Do this and there will
be meat enough for everyone at a
reasonable price.
Save the milk, the children must
have milk. Use every drop. Use
buttermilk and sour milk for COOK
ing and for making cottage cheese.
Use less cream. Save the fats. We
are the worlds greatest fat MASTERS.
Fat Is food. Butter is essential for
the growth and health of children
Use butter on the table as usual but
not in cooking. Other fats are as
good. Reduce use of fried foods.
Soap contains fats. Do not waste it..
Maka yoY1r own wa shinp soan at
home out of the saved fats.
Save the sugar. Sugar is scarcer.
We use today three times as much
per person as our allies So there
may be enough for all at reasonable
prices use less candy and sweet
drinks. Do not stint sugar in put
ting up fruit and jams. They will
save butter.
Save the fuel. Coal comes from
distance and our railways are over
burdened hauling var material.

WILL COMMANDEER
STOCKS IN BOND
Enough Distilled Liquors
on Hand to Last Sew
eral Years
fRx Associated Press.l

Washington, July 9.-The senate
went on record Saturday in favor of
bone dry national prohibition dur
ing the war so far as whisky and
other distilled beverages are con-
cerned.
Liquor legislation which would
strike consumption of distilled intox-
i~ants by communicating stocks in
bond in addition to prohibiting their
manufacture or Importation was
written into the food control bill in
one of the senate's bitterest contests.
The be-r and wine industries would
be left undisturbed.
In lieu Of the section of the house
bill to prohibit the manufacture Of
foodstuffs into beverages of any de-
scription the senate substituted a
provision prohibiting manufacture and
importation Of distilled beverages
during the war. and added further
clause directing the president to take
over all distilled spirits in govern
ment bonded warehouses and pay for

cent
While the prohibition resolution
will be evolved in conference be-
tween the two houses it is generally
regarded as possible that the house

Limit Consumption.
The provision will limit consump-
ton to stocks in retailers hands OF
withdrawn before the law goes into
effect. Stocks of distilled beverages
in bond are estimated at between
200,000.CO0 and 3n0,0CO,000 gallons
and the annual normal consumption
ct 120C0C.000 gallons. To purchase

is estimated that the government
would have to spend from 5000. 000,-

The probable less in federal rev
enues is placed at from 5000, 900, 900

Means More Delay.
The senate's action promises in
definite DELAY in enacttng the war
tax bill, further delay on the food
control bill and indefinite postpone

The revised $1.610, 900, geo war tax
bill was withdrawn Immediately fol-
lowing the final vote upon the liquor
question to seek sources of revenue
in case taxation on distilled liQuorC
is eliminated.

nosal to authorize the president to

Immediate and probably enormous
withdrawal CT distilled liquors from
