American Efficiency.

(Metal Worker, Plumber and Steam
Fitter.)
German efficiency has been held up
as degree of excellence unattain-
able by a democracy. The accom-
plishments of the United States
since April S last refute the truth Of
the claim. In the short space OF
time since that day the United States
has accomplished the following:
Declared state of war as exist
ing between this country and Ger
many.
Seized 81 German ships and began
repair work on them.
Authorized unanimously a. war fund
of $7,OO0,OO0.OOO.
Appropriated $6O0,oO0,o 900 for mer-
chant shipping and as much for air
fleets.
Agreed to loan our allies ss,o0o.-
100000, and advanced them a large
proportion OF that sum.
Passed selective draft law, and
in a single day registered nearly ten
million men for military service
Enlisted 100000 volunteer soldiers
in the regular army and in the Ma
tional Guard of the states.
Sent a commission to Russia to
aid democracy there and a body Of
railroad men to Russia and another
to France to advice and assist in
railroad transportation in those coun-
tries.
Begun the construction of 80 camps
| for our soldiers.
Sent to England a fleet of Destroy
ers and to France a detachment Of
| troops.
Authorized and now enforcing en-
barge, whereby our enemies will re-
| ceive no more food or material from
us.
Passed a food conservation law.
| Organized many voluntary commits
| sions and boards who are aiding the
| government and the people in the
! speeding up Of work, conservation OF
food, and other national movements.
| Drafted by lot 1000 men for
| military service.
| While the government was accom-
| plishing these things the American
people have loaned the United States
s2,OOO,OOO,OOO and offered $1,000
| 100000 more, over four million citi-
zens subscribing to the loan.
| In addition, they have given over
S1OO.OOO,OO0 to the American Red
Cross and 100000 to the Young
| Mems Christian Association.
| All these things were accomplished
| while our soil>was not invaded, Or
even threatened with invasion, and
| without any disturbance of business
conditions. All was done with the
calm determination and judgment OF
an earnest, patriotic people perform
ing a service for civilization and
mankind. and maintaining the rights
the dignity, and the honor OF the
greatest nation in the world.
The German leaders derided Amer
ica's entry into the war as bluff
! This Is our answer.
The German imperial government
was nearly fifty years in perfectitne
its military efficiency. In less thar
four months the American republic
has made such strides as to indicate
that in less than two years time the
| hoasted superiority of German etfi'
cienry will have been dlscredlted

aciency. and time will prove sha'

ASK WEALTHY

New York Food Situation Causes Ap-
peal to Country
Residents.

Mineola, n. Y, April 14-Nearly
two hundred wealthy residents OF Mas
sau county were urged in letters sent
out recently by the county farm bu-
reau to devote greater part OF their
estates this spring to the production
Of crops. The letter pointed out that
the food question in New York City
Is serious and that increased produc-
tion is important.
Two remedies were suggested by
the farm bureau to overcome a pos
sible shortage in labor. One was to
abandon all landscape work except
that which Is necessary to prevent loss
Of trees and plants and use the labor
that would be- thus employed in crop
production. The other suggestion was
for owners of estates to rent some OF
their land 10 neighboring farmers.
The bureau estimated that twenty
thousand acres OF additional land are
available in the county for farming
operations.
