WAR NOTES Z
For today we proffer this earfuI to
William Hale Thompson, mayor Of
Chicago:
AS a nation we are in a war now
with Germany, the strongest military
power that ever went forth under a
banner Of war. Our plans say we
must send food to our allies or the
war will be lost and Prussian sUzeT-
ainty established over North and
South America. Unless food for the
soldiers and wOrkmen of France and
England gets across, Germany wins
the war. Two ways are open to Ger
many in its purpose to starve France
and England. One way is to torpedo
the food ships and sink the wheat
and beef to the bottom of the sea.
This way is already partially success
full Another way is to stop export
of food through action of the presi-
dent and congress by an embargo.
This way has failed. BernstOrff, Won
Papen and Boyd couldn't put it
over.
Mayor Thompson's open declara-
ton that a curb must be put upon
our export of fOOdstuffs" is the most
exciting thing in local government
and politics today because Of the fact
that if the mayors advice is followed
Germany will win the war and the
United States will become a string Of
German colonies.
A young man cleTking in the Nc
CIUrg book store was fired from his
Job yesterday. He was told his work
