DISCUSSES PROF. MEYERS WORK
Tells Americans of German Birth to
Help Win War.

From the Kansas City Star.
Prof. Max F. Meyer of the Missouri
State University is pointing a way for
Americans of German origin to help
win the war-a way that realizes the
ends both of America and of democ-
racy in Germany. That is through
the organization of branches of the
Society of Friends of German Democ-
racy, formed with the approval of
the Council of National Defense.
In urging this action Professor
Meyer appeals to Americans of Ger
man origin as one of them. He was
one of the fifty-nine-sixtieths of the
German population, before he left
that country, that is ruled by the
other sixtieth. 1t is for this vast ma
jority of the German people that he
speaks when he asks Americans of
German origin in this country to help
break the power of the German mil
itary and ruling class and give de-
mocracy to the empire.
German militarism, Professor Mey-
er told his audience at Carrollton,
makes a strong argument to the
German people of the fact that it is
their only protection from invading
armies. The wars it has fought, it
points out, are always on the enemy's
soil. For a short space only in this
war Russian armies penetrated Ger
man territory and the German people
had lesson in the meaning of in
vasion. Homes were burned, farms
and villages. devastated and popula-
tons subjected to terrorism. Mill
tarism points that out as a warning
and bids the German people to con-
template the fate that awaits them if
the kaiser's ring of steel is broken.
But the kaiser and his group well
know what militarism protects in
Germany and from what. 1t protects
German class and German privilege
alone. Only by breaking that ring
that hedges the German people about
can the friends of German freedom
carry the truth to this beleaguered
nation.
When the power of German mill
tarism is broken by a military de-
cision it is reasonable to suppose
that strong organization of Friends
of German Democracy could obtain a
hearing and an influence with the
German people that would be of ma
terial help to them in reorganizing
the nation on democratic basis.

Moss, Mrs. Max Meyer and N. D.
Evans on the committee, which met at
8 o'clock this afternoon.
"Most of the money which keeps the
workroom going has been given by
women and raised by women" said
Doctor Defoe Outside of membership
fees, the men have done virtually
nothing. 1t is unfair to let the women
do the work and supply the funds
too"
The invoice committe, appointed
last month. made report showing
the articles bought since the commit
tee was appointed. There has been
shipped 11,795 articles. Thirty-eight
hundred dollars is owed for materials,
and the board decided that the sum
would be ready in time to pay the
bills. All purchases hereafter will
be made by the invoice committee,
headed by Mrs. Stephens.
The treasurer reported that the Red
Cross mas s354.4S in the bank and
something like $4,000 due from the
Christmas membership drive. This
money cannot be paid over to the local
board until the cards are classified,
which will be done soon.
In St. Louis, Mrs. C. W. Greene said
she was told at the Red Cross head
quarters that the workers must keep
at their knitting steadily. Even if
they work all summer not enough
garments will be ready for next win
ter. she said.

POTATOES ON SUBSTITUTE LIST
May Take Place Of Other Cereals
During Shortage.

Potatoes may take the place of
some other cereal with every flour
purchase where a shortage of wheat
flour substitute exists. On account
of a temporary scarcity of these sub
stitutes in some parts of the state, F.
B. Mumford, federal food administra-
tor for Missouri, has announced that
four pounds of potatoes may take
the place of one pound of other
cereals when wheat flour is bought.
This applies, however, only to those
commodities where the authorized
substitutes cannot be obtained.
1T must be understood" said Mr..
Mumford, that potatoes are proper
substitutes only until the cereals
heretofore mentioned are received.
Dealers will not be permitted to con-
tinue the sale of potatoes indefinitely,
but must promptly provide them
selves with or attempt to obtain the
required substitutes.
Wheat flour may not be purchased
against potatoes already on hand. 1t
can be bought only against purchase
of potatoes. Potatoes on this basis
are the only authorized exception to
the official list of substitutes. Deal
ers who can obtain authorized sub
stitutes in the required quantities,
but who sell potatoes instead, will be
held to be violators of Food Admin
istration regulations"

Daily Food Hint

Especial attention must be given
to seasoning of dishes which have as
theft foundation beans, rice or other
foods having little favor of their
own.
Use peppers, onions, garlic, leek,
celery. catsup, Worcestershire sauce,
etc.. for increasing flavor. Bean and
nut loaves should be seasoned with
highly seasoned sauces.

ToDAY'S ADJUSTMENTS
ALHAMBRA, VIVIAN MARTIN.


It is a well known fact that dainty
Vivian Martins indefinable charm
has made her everybody's friend. In
her latest Paramount picture. "a Pet
ticoat Pilot" which is being shown
today, she is simply irresistible.
There was never a story with a more
charming star. a more tender. appeal
ing story, and a more steady grip Of
suspense than this Miss Martin has
succeeded in drawing a marvellous
picture Of her heroine, from the days
of pigtailed Bingham to winsome
young womanhood. A charming love
story with the son of a defaulting
partner Of the three old sea captains
who adopted her, runs throughout.
The fact that the father OF her sutton
ran away with the wife of one of his
partners, who was also the sister Of
another, increased the bitterness OF
the old man when he learned that
she wished to marry his boy. "All's
well that ends we'll" however. and
