What tickled the Major was when
Mr.. Hughes said Germany had only
one hope Of winning the war, and
that was for America to falter. And
America, he said, wasn't going to
falter In its fight against tho un-
speakable brutality OF the Germans
and their disregard Of everything sa-
cred and humane.

THE THIRD HUN OFFENSIVE"

The third offensive which the Ger
 man generaissimo thinks will knock the ll's out of the allies is destined
 to gc the way of the first. The truth is-a truth that in time will be recognized by the German people that the German military machines power had been definitely ascertain ed and a combination of greater pow CT opposes it. It cannot defy the laws of nature and force it's way to the sea or to Paris in the face of greater
 numbers, better equipment and sup crior resources.
 The German people unfortunately
 believe everything told them by the
 kaiser, Hindenburg or Ludcndorff And as these three worthies spill all sorts of fantastic tales regarding the
 certainty of allied defeat, the disillu- stoned Teutons meekly admit this trio is truthful.
 The two drives of this spring, al though disorganizing the allies to
 some extent, failed utterly in attain
 ing their objects. German losses
 were prodigious; in fact, this, as much as other causes, resulted in stopping the costly push.
 With Hindenburg trying it again, the losses will be in proportion to the former drives. By the time this bull
 dog Teuton is through smashing the Teuton skull on the allied stone wall there will be little left of the once
 tremendously powerful German mili- tary machine. How it can outlast a year of such tactics it is difficult to see

W. s. S.--- HOW CITIZENS OF ITALIAN BIRTH CAN HELP

Citizens and residents of Italian birth in the United States can hell check the Huns, even without bearing arms. They can write to their rela- tives and friends in Italy of the exact situation in America and thus check the mischief being done by German propaganda, which seeks to lead the Italian people to believe that the United States will not send a big army to Europe, and that the people here arc divided over the war.
 An attache of the state department, whose name was withheld from publi- cation, speaking before a meeting of the Italy-America society in New York, declared:
 "The state department has re- ceived astounding reports of the elaborateness of GoMman propa- ganda in Italy. The Italian people and troops are being told that America will never send troops in any considerable number to Europe. because the army which is being raised will be absolutely needed in this country to keep down the for eign born population, which is on the verge of revolt.
 "They are being told that the Italian born citizens of this country are on the verge of revolt against being forced into the American army: that America was forced into the war by the moneyed interests, that had grown fat on tho profits from the manufacture of munitions and having lent money to the allies, forced an unwilling people into the war to protect their interests.
 'They are being told that these interests have no real desire to win the war, but that the real purpose is to secure mortgage on an impover ished Europe and thus monopclize all her trade after the war and reap huge profits from loans that must be made to rehabilitate."
 As a part of the Italy-American Day celebration Friday, May "A, ef- forts are being made to have Italians thruout the United States write to their relatives and friends in Italy describing the war preparation of this country, and giving a true picture of

y Dr. S. J. Crulnbine, Secretary of the Kansas Board of Health, who states that loss of six million dollars a year in food alone is being sustained in his state because of rats.
 He estimates that the rat popula- ton of typical American city such as Wichita kans.. is equal to the human population, while in the rural districts the rat population compares with the human population in the ratio Of ten to one. In brief, the rat population of Kansas is estimated at three million, and an estimate of two dollars worth of food for each rat is no doubt conservative. In addition to tie loss in food, rats arc responsi- bic for much other damage.
 Tue situation in Kansas represents a fair average of conditions through out inc country. It is evident that millions upon millions of dollars worth of food is going to waste every year in the | ,ited States as a result of rat dcpredations.
 If small percentage of the amount of this waste were spent in an intelligent campaign against the

rat. it would result ill saving many times the cost. But the crusade against the rat should be national.
 The county farm agent of certain county in Kansas has made public an estimate that is interesting. r. is to the effect that the six thousand dogs in his county are consuming enough food each day to feed one thousand Belgian orphans. Each dog in that county is consuming $34.00 worth of food year.
 The same county has only two thousand sheep. A sheep will yield five dollars worth of wool and ten dollars worth of meat when slaugh- tered, as against a nominal killing value of dogs in case their hides arc turned into gloves. While the dog makes an intelligent ! pet and has many commendable rpints, the fact remains that the coil ditions pointed out in this western county do not reflect a commendable condition of thrift It would be much better if the sheep population of that county were six thousand and the dog population two thousand. These two instances serve well to illustrate the point that. while we have made great progress ip the prac-
 tice of thrift, we still are very far
 from being thoroughly thrifty na- ton.
 All European countries have a wholesome respect for America be- cause of its tremendous resources. How much greater would this re- spect be if we were a truly thrifty
 nation and could add to our re- sources the billions upon billions of dollars that now represent our an- nral hrr.-de, of thriftlessness
