Whereas, The need of united conn

The department of agriculture has
been able to compute the movement OF
the present crop with more accuracy
than has ever been possible before and
from all the information available it APP
pears that not more than one third of
the marketable surplus of the crop of
1917 has been moved up to Dec. 81, In
other words, there remained to be moved
upon Jan. /, two cars of the crop of 1917

PEACE NOW GERMAN VICTORY.
Major Grayson M. P. Murphy Declared in
New York City.

New York, Jan. "A. Warning of the
atrocities, horrible, brutal, beastlv and
consistently Official" that American SOL
diers soon will be suffering at the hands
OF Germanys inhuman army, was voiced
IN an address here last night by Major
Grayson NJ. 7. Murphy, formerly i'm
charge OF the American Red Cross work
IN France, who returned to this country
Sunday, Major Murphy resigned from
the Red Cross to join the staff of General
Pershiug
Il cannot describe the horrible things
that Germany has done to women and
children and the poor, old suffering peo-
pie IN countries where she has set her
dreadful foot, Major Murphy said Brit.
1sb officers told OF scores of wounded
English soldiers piled in heaps, and then
bombarded with hand grenades. IL will
be but short time before our BOYS are
going to suffer the same thing. You
have got to build, and build and sacrifice
no matter what il costs to beat that
beast"
Building up the spirit of the people be-
hind the lines in Europe is the great
work of the Red Cross, the speaker de-
clared. Contributors TO the Red Cross in
this country have thus become one of
the largest factors in the war, he said
up to this day. Germany is victorious
IN this war" Major Murphy continued
ANY peace that is made to-day on the
basis of to-day's conditions would be
practically complete victory for Ger
many and for the German idea. Ger
many has lost nothing in this war but
blood. She had fought so far on the ter
ritory of others. She has drawn from
the territory of others vast supplies of
materials and vast sums of money. She
