ed with Christianity; they sheer at
those works of American literature
which we recognize as classical. In
short. they keep up a continuous can
nonade against every revered American
tradition, against every established
political ideal, against every accepted
article of our public and private NOR
atty, against everything admirable IN
our social aspirations, against every
thing characteristic of the common
sense of the American people. On the
other hand, they celebrate the bio
logical-political ideals of Prussian
statescraft, the biological immoralism
of Nietzche, and the literature of Berlin
and Vienna. especially that nastiest
part of it which they are certain will
offend what they scoffingly call the
Puritanical sensibilities of Americans. 4"
To combat this propaganda. Professor
Sherman pleads for an American propa-
ganda which will avoid the dangers of
"mendacity, hatred, and megalomania"
which beset the path of the foreign
propaganda. He urges that it is the
duty of the educated men of the country
who have been neither hot nor cold"
to carry on more aggressive cam
paign of AUGMENTATION, and adds
that the ideals which they are invited
to defend are the ideals of inter
acknowledgements men, of scholars, and
lovers of peace. The Ideals of America
and the Allies, he says, "have been the
ideals of just men in all ages; so that
we may find them, most of them, ex-
pressed in all the great literatures of
the world, ancient and modern, includ-
ing the literature of the great Germans
of the eighteenth century. Contem-
porary German thought is prehistoric,
reverslonary, paradoXical. 1t seeks to
fly against the great winds of time, to
row against the deep current of
human purposes, to ignore the grand
agreements of civilized men, and to
seek it's sanction in the unconscious law

CAMPAIGN TO CRACK
THE MELTING POT
New Publication of the Commit
tee on Public Information to
Meet This Danger

American and Allied Ideals" is the
title of the latest publication issued by
the Committee on Public Information,
which may be obtained free upon ap-
plication to 10 Jackson Place, Washing
ton, D. C. Its author is Stuart P.
Sherman, professor of liturature in the
University of Illinois. and its basic
principal is that 1.-The American who
has not been Thoroughly indoctrinated
with American ideals is menace to the
republic "
IT'LL the outbreak of the present

the Roumanian into loyal sons and
daughters of the republic. In ninety
nine cases out of hundred. this trans
formation has been the work of our
schools, the colleges, the universities.
Since the beginning of the war there
has been in this country IAN aggressive
campaign to crack the pot, to smash
the mold of national life." The pro-
gram of the men engaged In this work
is summed up as follows: Attack
England; praise Germany; attack every"
thing in America that is due to Eng
lish influence; praise everything in
America that is due to German in
fluence. Accordingly, they sneer at
the professions of democratic govern
ment; they sneer at the Pilgrim Fathers
and at the Puritans who since the
seventeenth century have constituted
the moral backbone of the nation; they
set themselves against every move
ment of moral reform: they sneer at all
the humanitarian movements assc at

GOVERNMENT BADLY
NEEDS TRAINED MEN
10000 Specialists Wanted in
Army and Navy Civilian
Branches.

How many of US realize what would
become of our forces in France if the
organization at home for producing the
material of war should fail? Charging
armies and laundering battleships are
easy to visualize, but not so easy to ac-
compllsh. There can be no going cover
the top" no paralyzing broadsides,
unless, to sustain the blow, there is
material in abundance to back up the
human effort.
Right now the civilian branches of
the Army and Navy are in urgent need
of thousands of highly trained workers,
and before this year passes these
branches must be increased by at least
20, 200. The Ordnance Department of
the Army needs great numbers of men
who are trained as mechanical engine
ers, mechanical and other kinds CT
craftsmen, chemists, metallurgists,
and the like. Literally thousands of in
spectors are also wanted for the work
of passing upon the quality of every
thing conceivable in the way of or
dnance, ammunition, and other NUM-
tons. For office work the Ordnance
Department wants great many statis-
ticans, accountants, experts and assis-
tants in business administration. and
clerks trained in special lines, such as
clerks qualified in business administra-
ton, index and catalogue clerks, and
clerks qualified in statistics or account
ing. The Qusrtermasters Corps of the
Army is in need of several thousand ex-
aminers and inspectors of everything
that enters into the personal and camp
equipment of the soldier. Passenger
and freight rate clerks are also wanted
in this branch. The Signal Corps of
the Army is short of aeronautical
mechanical craftsmen. The Navy has an
unlimited number of places for drafts
men of various kinds and for long list
of technical workers. Practically all
branches of the service are in need of
stenographers, tYpists. bookkeepers,
statistical clerks, multigraph operators
and calculating machine operators.

mission, whose duty it is to fill these
civilian positions, urges, as patriotic
duty. that qualified persons offer their
services for this work. work vital to
pushing the war. Good salaries are
offered, and the work is all in the Unit

few of the clerical positions, applicants

Wheat has no higher food value

at home its consumption can we'll be
restricted to those who, for weird
reasons Of their own, must have
bread that will stand banging about
for two or three days or which will
hang around until they make up their
selfish minds to eat it.
In hotels and restaurants whore
there is a capable chef, and in homes
where there is a competent cook the
substitute cereals meet every demand.
On the other hand, the use of wheat
in bread or pastry is generally sign
either of small skill or less loyalty.
Where bread has to be bought, pick
out baker who provides a good quick

doing he proves himself both a fine
baker and true American. Patronze

which every victory-seeking American
is urged by Herbert Hoover to eat at
least three a day in order to use up
the balance of the 1917 crop of one Of
Mother Natures most paIatable gifts
to mankind.
There was record crop of spuds
last year. Railway congestion and
other things have kept millions of
bushels away from the market up till
now and unless they are consumed by
early June, heap of cheap but spIen-
did food will go to waste. Worse
than that, the zeal to raise potatoes
which was aroused last year may fade
away and we may find ourselves face
to face once more with a mighty serI-
Gus food crisis.
Remember that an acre planted In
potatoes will feed far more people
than an acre sown in wheat or de-
voted to pasture. Remember also that
the United States has half as many
more mouths to feed than II had be-
fore the war. Don't make any German
peace with the potatoes. Be patriot,
be potatriot, and intern at least
three Of them every day till the 1917
class Is wiped out.
