present session of the congrsss Gur
whole attention and energy should be
concentrated on the vigorous, rapid
and successful prosecution of the great
task of winning the war.
We can do this with all the greater
zeal and enthusiasm because we know
that for us this is war of high prin-
ciple, debased by no selfish ambition
Of conquest or spoliation; because we
know, and all the world knows, that
we have been forced into it to save
the very institutions we live under
from corruption and destruction The
purposes of the central powers strike
straight at the very heart of every
thing we believe in; their methods Of
warfare outrage every principle Of hui
mainly and Of knightly honor; their
intrigue has corrupted the very
thought and spirit of many of our PEG.
pie; their sinister and secret diplo-
macy has sought to take our very ter
ritory away from us and disrupt the
union Of the states. Our safety would
/ be at an end, our honor forever sullied
and brought into contempt were we to
permit their triumph. They are strik.
ing at the very existence of democracy
and liberty.
1t Is because it is for us a war Of
high, disinterested purpose, in which
all the free peoples of the world are
banded together for the vindication OF
right, war for the preservation OF our
nation and of all that it has held dear
of principle and Of purpose. that we
feel ourselves doubly constrained to
propose for it's outcome only that
which is righteous and of irreproacha-
BILE intention, for our foes as we'll as
for our friends. The cause being just
and holy, the settlement must b. Of
like motive and quality. For this we
can fight, but for nothing less noble
or less worthy Of our traditions. For
this cause we entered the war and for
this cause we will battle until the last
gun Is fired.
have spoken plainly, because this
seems to me the time when it is cost
necessary to speak plainly, in order
that all the world may know that even
in the heat and ardour of the struggle
and when our whole thought is of car
rying the war through to its end we
have not forgotten any ideal or princi-
pie for which the name Of America has
been held in honor among the nations
and for which it has been our glory
to contend in the great generations
that went before us. A supreme mo-
ment Of history has come. The eyes Of
the people have been opened and they
see. The hand of God is laid upon the
nations He will show them favor,
devoutly believe, only If they rise to
the clear heights of His own justice
and mercy.

MAYOR SAYS EMPLOYERS CAN
HELP BY BEING FAIR
WITH EMPLOYEES
Mayor VIM. Hale Thompson this
morning called attention to the fact
that the big employers of Chicago
have got a big share to do right here
at home, along the war lines.
I'VE all know that this war means
tremendous increases in taxes and
food costs. Prices have not really
begun to 90 up. The feeling has al
ready been shown in many cities
against the price of living.
''If the working people do not get
increases sufficiently large to meet
the living cost there will be terrific
suffering. 1t is up to the employers
to do their best for their employees"
The mayor discussed the war
question further. Now that war
has been declared, ne Salu, the
most important thing is for congress
to grab control of the food supply.
Now is the time for real prepared
ness against the tremendously high
prices. which are bound to come.
Charity begins at home. America
should be considered ahead of Euro
mean nations. The war means that
there will be a big increase in taxes
and food cost"
Thompson was asked what he
thought of Bill Mason voting against
war. Said he didn't exactly know,
but that the election of both Aid.
Kennedy and Johnson, Socialists,
showed that there was some strong
feeling against war.

FOOD SWlNDLING.
Woman las Skyrocket Career i
Eeriir-Trappcd by Police.

Berlin, Jan. "A gigantic scheme
in food .swindling has just been un,
covered through arrest of Frau kup,
fer and her daughter by police yes
terday. BerIin's first citizens, It is
now revealed, have been swindled
out Of millions of marks in q story
of financing and manipulations that
rivals 6ctRn.
Frau Kupfer came from Leipzig
at the start Of the war, and borrowed
400 marks ($92,) with which she
opened a small office. She pur-
chased artificial honey, and later
resoId at great profit. 1t was but
short time until she had 10000 marks
($2,300(, and this she invested in
other food products, resclling them
at extravagant prices.
Her fascinating manners gained
her hundreds of thousands of marks
from investors, and she finally or
ganized a 100000 mark ($2,200,-
000) concern. Almost unbelievable
dividends were paid by this great
company. Frau Kupfer forged con-
tracts for army food, and as her
business grew she established
smuggling concern. Her headquar-
tiers in Berlin were always filled with
food.
The; the rich people of Berlin
bought willingly at cxtortionatc
prices Hotels bid for change to
purchase her products. Frau Kupfer
began quietly obtaining enormous
sums on promises for future Geliv-
cry. Then she was trapped By the
police.
Careful search was beng made to-
day for man coworker of the fas-
cinating Frau Kupfer.
The Berlin Vossische Zcitung de-
clared today:
"Berlin's first citizens have been
swindlcd out Of millions Of marks.
Tie number OF creditors grow
