New York, Nov. 4.-The closing
of the campaign in the Middle At
lantic and New England states to-
day was marked by a general quick
ening of interest, in contrast to the
apathy that characterized the early
! days of the contests. There also was
apparent, as an aftermath of the
heated political discussions over the
Presidents appeal for support, a
greater interest In the contests for
Congressional seats. In many states.
however, gubernatorial and purely
local issues overshadowed all others.
In New York, the contests for
forty-three seats in Congress attract
ed but little interest as compared
with the bitter campaign between
Governor Charles S. Whitman, Re-
publican, and Alfred e. Smith, DEM
ocrat, for the G~overnorship.
Pennsylvania's voters seemed to be
chiefly interested in the liquor ques-
tion,- the Republican nominee for
Governor, William c. Sproul, running
on a dry" platform against Eugene
c. Bonniwell, Democrat, who has
been charged with being supported
by the liquor dealers.
Senatorial elections held the CEN
ter of the stage in many of the New
England states. Former Governor
David l. Walsh, Democrat, is oppos-
ing Senator Weeks, Republican, in
massachusetts,; Representatives G.. Il.
O'Shaunessy. Democrat, is fighting
for LIE Baron B. Colts seat in Rhode
Island; New Hampshire is concerned
in W contests between John r
Jameson, Democrat, and George II
Moses, Republican, I'M Eugene u
Reed, Democrat. and Governor
Henry w Keyes, Republican.
The New Jersey campaign for Sen

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick
Member Federal Farm Loan Board

The farms of this country could
clusion even i. all the rest of the ma
tions shca!d quit The rest will not
quit; but we co lid win it without
them it we had to do it. The farmers
of the United States can whip Ger
many. We can Unip them with guns.
We can whip them with our products.
We can whip the2i with our money.
Every farmer ii the United States
must remember that the war has a
first mortgage on every csnt he has.
The last spare cert n the pockets of
every farmer in America should be
devoted to the war.
The Kaiser becan foreclosing his
mortgage on our farms when he de-
clared ruthless submarine warfare.
The war is our answer to his bill of
foreclosure.
Our contribution is, first, our sons
and brothers for the trenches; sec
ond, the last pound of food products
which we can grow by mobilizing our
scanty labor supply, utilizing the men,
women and children and the towns
people about us; and third, money
for Liberty Bonds.
This is the crucial year of the war.
Our soldiers are at the front, hun
dreds of thousands of them in the
trenches, and million more ready to
go. The whole burden of carrying on
our own part in the war, and of aid
ing our sister nations in arms, rests
on the United States Treasury.
If the treasury fails or falters or
finds itself unable to respond to every
call upon it, the war is lost Do you
realize that?
Your son, and all the nations sons
are relying on the United States
Treasury to furnish things with which
they may fight.
Their lives are lost if the treasury
fails. Our country is lost if the treas
ury fails.
Germany wins if the treasury fails
Therefore every cent you can rake
and scrape together belongs to the
treasury, that our soldiers may come
back to us alive and victorious. Thi:
is literally true. We can whip the
Germans with our money; but no
with the money in our pockets o.
bank accounts. It must go into thu
United States Treasury in subscrip
.ious to Liberty Bonds.

March l.
5. Manufacturers using wheat prod
nets for non-food purposes should
cease such use entirely.
6. There is no limit upon the use of
other cereals, tiOurs, and meals, corn,
barley, buckwheat, potato flour, ct
cetera.
Many thousand families throughout
the land are now using no wheat prod
llctS whatever, except 4 very small
amount for cooking purposes, and are
doing so in perfect health and satisfac-
Uion. There is no reason why all of
I he American people who are able to
sook in their own households cannot
,subsist perfectly we'll with the use of
Iess wheat products than one and one
half pounds week, and we specially
ask the well-tO-do households in the
country to follow this additional pro-
sramme in order that we may provide
he neces Sary marginal supplies for
| hose parts of the community less able
adapt themselves to so large pro-
! portion OF substitutes.
| In order that we shall be able to
make the wheat exports that are alb
iolutely demanded of us to maintain
;he civil population and soldiers of the
allies and our own army, we propose
30 supplement the voluntary co-opera-
ion of tho uublir nv n f,lrtbar l;mifa
zion of distribution, and we shall place
1T once restrictions on distribution
which will be adjusted from time to
time to secure as nearly equitable dis
ribution as possible. With the arrival
of harvest we should be able to relax
such restrictions, Until then we ask
tor the necessary patience, sacrifice
and co-opera ton of the distributing
trades.

While Gerard was our ambassador
in Berlin, the Kaiser said to him one
day that he would stand no nonsense
from America after the war.
Do yon know what that means? Il
means that the Germans intend to
subjugate this country if they come
out of this war victorious.
The German Imperial government
has preached the superiority of Ger
many to all the rest OF the world un-
til the German nation is drunk with
megalomania. One of their great
writer's expressed the prevailing, Of.
fetal view in.19O3, when he wrote:
"The. Teutonic race is called upon
TO circle the earth with its rule, to ex-
plot the treasures of nature and Of
human power, and to make the pas
sive races servient elements in its
cultural development Who
ever has the characteristics of the
rTeutonic race is superior. All the
dark peoples are mentally inferior, be-
cause they belong to the passive
races The cultural value OF Z nation
is measured by the quantity Of Teu-
tonism it contains"
Are you one of the darker races?
Are you willing to be rated as one
of the ''servient elements" in Ger.
manys cultural development?
| You began to be one of the "servi-
ent elements" when peaceful people
were slaughtered as they carried your
produce to market Was it because
you belonged to passive race!"
This war is for the purpose OF say.
ing to that insane claim, with the
roar of hundred thousand cannon
MOI"
Never since the Turks threatened
to overwhelm Europe was the world
in such danger as now. Germany
must be defeated this year. Unless
we win, our place in the world il
lost, and our history as one of the
"servient elements" begins. We must
withhold nothing from the support Of
the war. We must give our sons. We
must bring forth food in abundance.
We must give into the treasury OF the
United States every cent We can
spare.
This summer the support Of the war
, is up to the farmers; and Uncle sam

15 A|RPLANES
 RAID LONDON
English Capital Suffers from Two Raids Last Night-One Raider
 Brought Down in Flames

LONDON, Jan. 29.-Fifteen ene- my airplanes appeared over the En- glish coast last night. flying at a height of about 10000 feet. five of which eluded the English scout ma chimes and reached the city of Lon- don dropping a number of bombs in inc streets. They were driven off by British flyers.
 A second raid occurred few hours later, only one of the fleet of ma chimes making the second attack reaching a position over the city. One aircraft was brought down in flames, falling from a height of 10.- 900 feet like a blazing meteor her crew of three burning to death before hey reached the ground.
 An indecisive engagement was fought with a German machine by a British pilot. while they were com- tng in over the sea. All the British flyers returned to their bases in saf- .ty.
 This is the first raid for several weeks. and the damage done was nominal.
