AMERICAS TASK

France and Britain have sent some
Of their most distinguished sons on
q mission to the United States. They
came with a message. Briefly that
message Is: America. wake to your
gigantic task"
What is that task!
This country must feed the armies
that conquer monarchy and make
democracy safe. To feed those ar
mics she must not only raise the
food but must solve the transporta-
tion problem. Unless this country
can protect Britain against the effort
Of Germany's submarine campaign
to starve that country into peace.
We can no longer have the protec-
tion OF her fleet and war will be
brought to our own shores.
We are just learning how serious
IL the loss through submarine activ-
fty. We have awakened to the fact
that unless II Is checked or over
come, II will weaken most danger
ously the fighting abilities of our
European allies. II ever there was
q time when an Erickson. with his
modern Monitor to best the submar-
inc, was needed that time is right
now.
But until that genius arrives, this
nations big-mighty big-iob is TO
produce the food and get it across
the waters. Already the admins
tration at Washington announces a
campaign Of shipbuilding on a scale
which II hopes will replace the awful
wastage OF the submarine toll. And
we have il to do-unless We want to
see Prussianism rule the world.
We must speed up TO the tor
notch those industries directly con.
cerned in war making. and at tbs
same time must maintain as neal
a normal poise in the general run o.
business as possible SO that the in
dustrial fabric shall not know harm
full arrangement.
II Is a task worthy OF a great ma
ton. How long It will last. hov
great must be the sacrifices. no on
can toretell. But America is equa
to the task. With her vision lifte'
to the full height OF tremendou
duty and corresponding opportunity
hers shall be the glory OF winning
the world for the rule OF democracy

TREATMENT FOR AILING PIGS
Breaking Out Of Body Caused by Mar
row Ration High In Protein
Can BE Remedled.

When pigs are fed on very mar
row ration with high content of pro-
tein and limited amount of energy
and fat-forming material, they are
subject to breaking out of the body
which causes considerable irritation,
This has been noticed when pigs are
turned on a pasture very rich in pro-
tein, especially when the pigs had
previously been on a feed that was
lacking in this content. These pigs
will unquestionably improve if you
will feed a mixture OF IL parts of
cornmeal, two parts of shorts and
one part of oil meal along with the
separated milk. Spray these pigs
again with light crude oil and apply
over the worst spots of the body a
mixture Of three parts Of unsalted
lard and one part Of flowers of sui
phur.

URGE BRINGING CREWS.
ARMY VESSELS UNDER
MILITARY DISCIPLINE

washington, DID, 16.-Immediate leglsla-
ton to bring the crews of transports
mine layers and other army vessels into
the military service is urgently recon-
mended by Ouartermaster General Sharp
in his annual report made public tonight
Continual difficulties with civilian crews
are described, with the conclusion that
grave danger can be averted only by max
ing officers and men subject to military
discipline.
The report adds a new element TO the
controversy over the manning of ships
carrying troops and supplies to Europe. A
proposal to have all American overseas
merchant craft manned by naval reserves
has been rejected by the shipping board,
which recently announced that the navy
would operate troop ships and vessels
carrying solely military supplies. out tina;
all others would retain their merchant
crews.
Ever since the war in Europe created
an abnormal demand for seamen, Gen.
Sharpe's report says. there has been trou-

TOLERANCE SHONlVHt
By Entente Allies To-
wards Bolshe v TX i
Fuel Situation Serious
in Petrograd

London, Dec. 16.-While the Russians
were continuing to make progress IN the
ratification of an armistice arrangement
with the Germans, the Entente govern
ments apparently were approaching an
agreement for more sympathetic dealings
with the Bolsheviki government. the
adoption of a more tolerant attitude to-
ward Russia is said to have been urged
by the American delegates to the recent
Paris conference and this viewpoint no"
apparently has been adopted by all the
members of the Entente. Lord North
cliffe's Weekly Dispatch says today:
THE belief here is that the Bolsheviki
government is likely to remain in power
for long time. The principal aim OF the
Entente henceforth will be to try to as
sist in every effort to bring Russia reliet
from an economic collapse"
The serious fuel question in Petrograd
now has been complicated by strikes OF
employees in the fuel department, who re-
fuse to work under the Bolsheviki COM
mssioners.
The Russian church, which was one OF
the most powerful institutions under the
old regime now has received attention at
the hands of the Bolsheviki, which has
directed the confscation of ala church
property, money, lands, gold. silver and
precious stones and the abolition of all
privileges of the clergy. The government.
has also decreed the abolition Of religious
instruction in the schools.
