at frequent intervals.
The Cornell Club served only a buff

annual banquet.

CAN'T STARVE
GERMANS,
HOUSE MEMBER
Taylor De-
clares Fighting Is Only
Way to Win War.

Five things are absolutely necessary
to the successful prosecution of the
war against Germany. Representative
Edwin T. Taylor. of Colorado. de-
clared in an address last night in
the caucus room of the House Office
Building.
There are five things absolutely
necessary which We must do II We
are to win this war against Ger
many" he said.
Needs of United states.
Coordinate our efforts with those
OF our allies. We must conduct this
war as IL one government, one peo-
pie, one man was directing the great
fight against the Boche.
Enormously increase the amount
OF our tonnage. We have not the
boats today that we need and we are
not building them as fast as we
should
Our third great need is cannon.
We have got to manufacture thou
sands upon thousands n great can
non and send them to France for use
by our boys and our allies.
I'VE must have control OF the air.
Thousands upon thousands of air
planes must be built and men trained
TO fly them SO that We can beat
down the German flying machines and
see and keep track of every movement
the enemy makes back of their lines.
Tanks! We should build thou
sands of these. Unless We have tanks
and heavy artillery We are not going
to win this war without enormous loss
of life."
Representative Taylor told of the
recent trip to France by the party
of ten members OF Congress.
Must Fight TO Win.
I'VE are going to win this war. but
we are going to do IT by fighting and
not by starvation. Neither will We
be aided by a revolution in Germany.
The German people are behind the
Kaiser. and they will go down to the
last man behind him. There will be
no revolution in Germany during the
present war. There may be a revolu-
tion or at least very radical changes
after the war. but there will be none
while the war is being fought"
We are not building ships to take
the place of those sunk" he said, ''as
| fast as We should. II we don't supply
shipping the battle front in France
will move down through France and
across TO our Atlantic seaboard.''

The organized packers of the
country have refused to meet US,
or to cooperate with us, in any

They have brazenly Tepudiated the
solemn agreement entered into be-

The point is made that upon the
packing industry depends the daily

In this extremely entertaining story
of "Humdrum Brown" Henry Wal
