The Hun in Trade
Plans for Enslaving America
and the World

THE LrTuRE or GERMAN INDrsTRlAk, re-
PORTS; BY 5. Iiorzog Translated by N, r. -. j..
Tufrentnc. Emo pp. 1876 Doubleday, rage
Il Co.
Bernhard and others long ago told US
OF Germanys plans for the military
conquest Of the world Herzog mere
tells of that malign powers designs
for the Industrial and commercial sub
jugetion Of the world, and particularly
OF America of course. as a sequel to
German victory in the war. The book
was written by an eminent German
economist and engineer at about the
end of the first year Of the war, when
Germany still had and with reason,
high hopes Of winning the war. We
must assume that it was meant rot for
worldwide circulation. but. like many
other German prints. for distribution
where it would "do the most good III
Germany itself. To secure d copy,
translate it and publish it to the world
was an achievement Of incalculablc SER
vice.
The whole spirit of the book is that
Of the principle enunciated by Freder-
ick, miscalled the Great, quoted by
Messrs. Hoover. Kellogg and Walcott
(thc United States food administra-
tion) in their preface: "1f there IS
anything to be gained by being honest.
let us be honest; if it is necessary to
deceive, let Us deceive" That is the
lnoral-or immoral cornerstone of the
German Empire. We have already
learned by bitter experience how liter
ely it forms the basis Of German diplo-
macy and militarism. Here we are told
with cynical frankness how German in
duStry and trade are also to be built
upon it. Deceit. lying. forgery, trick
cry, counterfeiting, outright theft, are
10 be the methods of German economic
promotion: and when these are not suf-
ficient ruthless force is TO be applied.
Now, all this would be bad enough
in any case. But in the present case
the damnation of the Hun is doubly
deep because of unspeakable hypocrisy.
For from the beginning of the war
down to the moment of this writing of
these words tho Germans and their as
slstant Huns, here and elsewhere, have
not ceased profusely TO profess that
all they wanted was "a place IL the
sun" and "room for legitimate eNpan-
SION and "freedom Of the seas" and
the like. Yet here, in work which we
must regard as of seml-Offlclal author
ity, and which VIC know exactly eX-
presses the intent 2nd purpose OF tne
German government and people, are
the most deliberate and explicit pro
posals to deny ether nations their place
in the sun, to prevent their commercial
growth, to make the high seas a Ger
man lake, and to make all other peo-
pies. particularly the United States OF
America, the commercial and industrial
scrfs of kultur
1t cannot be too strongly commended
10 the thoughtful reading @ every
American, and especially OF those who
are for any mistaken cause hesitating
to urge timely and stringent measures
for the industrial. commercial and eco
Nomic reorganization Of the world after
the war If there be any one who has
been deluded into thinking that at tho
end OF the war Germany should have
her colonies restored and should be
taken instantly into the equal economic
fellowship of the nations, let him read
this little volume and be wise.

FROM THE DIRECTOR OF
PUBLIC INFORMATION FOOD
ADMINISTRATIONS. LANSING


Women's societies and social clubs
who make it practice TO serve re-
freshments during afternoons or eve
nings, and particularly those who have
been in the habit of serving ice cream,
are expected by the u. s. food admin
istration to desist from such practice.
This is an authorized statement by
George A. Prescott, federal food adj
ministrator for Michigan. Mr.. Pres
colt stated emphatically today that
the food administration is unalterably
opposed to any deviationfrom a strict
three meals per day program and
will consider unpatriotic and un-Am-
erican any departure therefrom. He
SAYS the consumer Of ice nream
(which is rich concentrated food
full of sugar" at any between meal
period, is a food Stacker.
Between meal eating, no matter
what, when or where, is altogether
inconsistent with the United States
food regulations. People are expect
ed to eat enough wholesome food at
meal time to last them until the next
meal, and particularly without any
midnight indulgence. We have not
yet reached a point where we are
ready to shut off altogether the manu-
facture or consumption of ice cream,
but we must insist that it be given
its proper valuation as food, and as
such, conserved the same as other
staples must be conserved, if we are
to maintain an adequate supply of
food, Mr.. Prescott says

No rattle of drums, no parade or
patriotic music dispensing band told
of the departure of the six young men
from this city last Friday noon, when
they left as volunteers to the call for
experienced men In motor machine
work, to go in training at Ann Arbor.
The six young men were: Aioysius
Cichy. Tom Bracken, jr., Orvey Foss,
Chester Fuller, David Sewers, Ray
Kidd and Virgil Harness. All of the
boys have had some previous mechan-
ical experience and when County
Clerk George w. Moulton let it be
known that he needed certain num-
Der of men for this line of service to
be made up in this county, the above
mentioned young men volunteered

c'issitates the employment of some
other method of selection. In the
breeding of high producing animals
through several generations ii has
been observed that there are certain
characteristics of the conformation
which are correlated with large pro-
duction. These characteristics are
namely: ID Extreme angular form,
carrying no surplus flesh, but in good
physical condition. (2) Prominent de-
velopment of the udder and veins. (3)
The symmetrical development of the
barrel with large capacity. After one
becomes familiar with these external
characteristics it is possible TO select
cows producing 300 pounds of fat per
year from those producing $50 pounds.
The difficulty comes I'm picking the anil
NAL that will produce 500 pounds of
fat per year compared to the one pro-
ducing 400 pounds.
The selection of animals by this
method is rather uncertain. Until rec
ords are. kept of more animals or some
other means devised for selection, the
selection by type should be used and
IL is up to everyone interested In
dairy cattle to bc-"me faniliar with 1t.
