MY Country-Right or Wrong!
If Right to BE Kept Right;
II Wrong to BE Set Right. -Schurz
THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

An outstanding feature of the Sec
ond Liberty Loan campaign, aside
from the amount of bonds sold, is the
fact that it has indicated beyond
doubt that people of German descent
have come to the conclusion that the
parting of the ways has come for
them, between the Glove OF the
Fatherland" and the duty that the!
owe to this land of freedom whic
has done so much for them! The land
where they and their children will
continue to live and make their home
after the war is over, and world
wide, everlasting peace has been es-
tablished.
In many German communities the
subscription to the bonds was very
generous and was seized upon as an
opportunity for proving their loyalty,
to indicate that they felt a real in
terest in the war, the future welfare
of our country and to indicate that
they feel a personal pride and in
terest as part and parcel Of our great
nation. Many are also realizing that
in buying bonds they are doing
something to free their own beloved
"Fatherland" from the iron rule OF a
ruthless militarism and war crazee'
autocracy. They now realize that if
they can help the United States to
victory, it means the same freedom
and liberty for those of their relatives
and friends who are nov in the "old
country"
Peports of the State SafesI Com
mission on the loan indicated d great
change of sentiment among people OF
German descent along these lines ana
the raising of money for war pur-
poses along these lines has had a
wonderful effect in uniting and slim
ulating patriotic sentiment every
where.
1t might be said that the part
ing of the ways" should have come
months ago, but when we realize the
fast that the great problem of the
war has been the education OF sent-
ment for the war from the ground up,
the fact becomes apparent that our
nation has had quite task on ITS
hands.
We have done in few short
months what has taken German!

ing of the duties of their citizenship
to this country, against which love
of the Fatherland" cannot hold.

Iuorrote Doc Eaters,

During our trip through the Philip
pines we visited the dog market, where
the IgOrrotes bought and sold half
starved CANNES with visions of great
feast off the protruding ribs. The Igor
rOtes are about as much like the cultur
ed Filipinos as they are like cultured
Americans or cultured japanese. But
the fact that the Igorrotes eat dogs has
done as much to prejudice us against
the FilipinOs as has the story that the

not eat rats, but even have distaste

DECREASE AUTO PRODUCTION.
Parts of Plants to Be Diverte to
Manufacture of Shells ind
Airplanes.

Washington, Nov. transcription
of industries to supply the needs OF
the army was discussed yesterday by
the war industries board with auto
mobile and accessories manufacturers,
who pledged their full cooperation to
the government in whatever is neces-
sary to win the war.
The plan is to divert part of each
plant to the production of war ma
terial.
1t was made plain to the manufac-
turers yesterday that while their help
is required, the government has no in
tention of taking any drastic actor
which would cripple the industry.
It was arranged to have the manu-
facturers, represented in the Natior
Automobile Chamber of Commerce
and Motor and Accessories Manufac-
turers appoint committee to worl
with the automotive products section
of the War Industries board in plan
ming how the big automobile factories
of the country can be of the greatest
service.
Yesterdays conference was the frs
of man yto be held with makers OF
non-essentials as the progress of the
war makes greater demands on tn
country's resources. y
Curtailment Of production of motor
vehicles was said to have been taken
up first because of the manufacturers
voluntary offer of cooperation, be-
cause of the highly organized nature
of the industry and because the prob
lem of obtaining raw materials, also
used in the manufacture of munitions
had become serious for the automobil
men The extent of the decrease IN
production probably will be every sub
,tantial," to be effected gradually as
portions of the plants are diverted to
the manufacture of shells, airptane.
and other necessities.
Figures quoted show that the value
If automobile and accessories pro
lucts during the past year was nearl:
;wo and a half billion dollars an
hat the industry employed approx
nately 100000 men, who supported

ion.
