Germany Win Never Starve-
While We Have 100000 Prisoners
Baron der KsihoFer.
Bundesrath Senator Csnnibasc Speech Declares Eating
Of Prisoners Thoroughly Justi6abe if Black Wolf
of Starvation Faces Empire

Rerne, Switzerland, (Delayed)'
June 11.--In one of the most barbaric
speeches ever uttered in the high
chambers of Bundesrath, Baron VIII
helm Won der Keilhofer, Of Bavaria,
with typical Teutonic cruelty, declar-
ed it was useless for the enemy to
presuppose that Germany could be
starved out, because Of the added
harvest their conquest of Russia en-
tailed and the fact that the Father
land already holds 1,OOO,OOO Ameri-
can, French, British and Belgian
prisoners. He said in part:
Survival Of the tittest and self
preservation has always been the pre-
dominent features of existence. Were
Germany to face the black wolf of
starvation, it would be our sheer and
bounden duty to our brave soldiers,
wives and children, to slaughter such
prisoners as God may have granted
us in the same manner as we would
any other swine, and thus relieve the
hunger of our noble race. / might
take you back through the history of
the ages and show you how, when
forced to this point of extremity, all
nations have subsidized on the carcass
SEES of their prisoners.
Fortunately, however. Germany
will never be forced to such an ex-
tremity; for God, in his righteous an
ger, has smitten the enemy and given
Russia-with her thousands upon
thousands of grain fields-unto us in
our hour of need, and while our mill
tary genius has been turning out sci
Ientifc monsters of destruction, our
wizards of chemistry have been de-
veloping equally startling discoveries
of life conservation.
To-day we possess a marvellous
product, which ranks as the greatest
single achievement in the annals of
modern chemistry-one fve-grain
tablet Of which, when added to the
ordinary vegetarian meal, serves as
full equivalent to half-pound Of the
best porterhouse steak or to one and
one half pounds of sausage. There
fore, Germany need never resort to
the necessity of the admittedly un-
pleasant thought of eating her prison
ers, although it is well known that hu-

One of the great troubles in hand
ling war activities these days is the
fact that every man seems to be de-
veloping a tendency to appoint him
self judge and advocate general in
passing upon the quality and quantity
of his neighbors' patriotism. Such
matters ought to be centralized into
a responsible and authorized public
committee which could speak for the
whole community. It should not be
self-chosen but rather selected by the
community at large. 1t is the only
way to get away from the prejudices
that affiict all of us more or less, and
especially more when some fellow
doesn't "come through" as we think
he should.

Why not have registered men drill
with home guard units until they are
drafted, and thus save time?

The plan to enlist selected prison
ers from the jails and penitentiaries
of the county is one that might have
been followed with advantage long
ago. There are many thousands of
prisoners who would make good SOL
diers and whose crimes have not been
such as should bar them from serving
their country in the army or navy if
the are willing to do so. There are
thousands of prisoners who have got
into trouble through having nothing
else to do, or who, under some excite
ment or sudden impulse have broken
the law, but who are not criminals at
heart and who need only such employ
ment and restraint as they would get
in the army to make good men Of
them. Such should be selected out
from the prison population and, if
they are willing to enlist, should be
taken into the army or navy, distrib-
uted among the regiments, clothed in
the uniform of the United States and
their prison history hidden from their
comrades. Give them chance and
most of them will make good and the
country will be the better for their
having lived.

After all, the name by which
American soldiers are to be known
may be, "Yanks." That appears to
be the name generally used by the
British and it is soming to be seen

Some time ago the club women of

announced that they had decided to
make great sacrifice for the cause
of humanity and would send their
daughters out to cook for the farmers

be for the ladies to send their maids
out to cook for the harvesters while

Purity Gives Power.

There are still many persons in the
world that need to be impressed with
the fact that the purer the blood ID
the greater is the power Of the sys-
tenn to remove the disease and the
less the liability to contact it. Per-
sons whose blood is in good condition
are much less likely to taks cold or
to be long troubled with 1t, or to
catch any contagious or infectious
disease, than are those whose blood
is impure and therefore impoverish-
ed and lacking in vitality. The best
medicine for purifying the blood is
Hoods Sarsaparilla, and persons suf-
fering from any blood disease or any
want Of tone in the system are urged
to give this medicine a trial. 1t is
especially useful at this time Of year.

He asserted the language of the

that many of the Presidents points
