WASTE is CRIMINAL

"Ero waste now is nothing short of
criminal" Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo.
The duty of The American people to
cconomize in consumption Of food and
all other materials as well as save
money, can not be too often or too
strongly urged upon them. The duty
is so imperative, its observance so
vital to our country's success, that it
should be kept constantly before
them.
The proposition is plain and un-
dcrstandable. We have lessened the
productive powers of the country by
taking 100000 men away from the
productive forces of the country; in
stead of producers of one kind or an
other the soldiers are consumers of
the products of our farms, factories,
and mines, and when the munitions
they expcnd and will cxpend against
the enemy is considered they are trc-
mendous consumers of the manufac-
tured products of the country
A tremendous amount of the manu-
featuring energy of the country has
been withdrawn from manufacturing
the things we use in peace and
put to manufacturing the things we
use in war. The total loss to the
country Of the productive energy Of
our soldiers and sailors and the di-
version of a great portion of the other
productive energy Of the country to
par purposes lessen to great extent
the amount Of material and supplies
produced by the country.
TO this condition of lessencd pro-
duction and increased consumption Of

will play large part in the dctcrmi-
nation of the question.
"rhc same order which forbade sol.
diers taking strong drink contained
the most rigid regulations to prevent
the spread of the social diseases. The
two questions are connected closely
Thus far the record of the army in
both respects has been most excellent.
1t is highly gratifying to me and is
testimonial to the high character of
the American soldier. Everything pos

morals and his health and to make
him an honor to himself and his

and by our own men must be added
the extraordinary demand made upon
this country to supply the armies Of
our allies and to great extent their
population with food and other ma

We must meet the condition that

strictest economy in consumption, for
every pound we refrain from using

PROHIBIT SALE LIQUOR TO sS

General: Pershing Says That Matter
of II Keeping Intoxicating Drink
Away From Troops Is Being Dis
cussed With the French Govern
ment. a1
With the American Army in
France, Dec. 29.-Gen. Pershing, in
an interview with correspondents to-
day, said the question Of prohibiting
the sale of all Intoxicating liquors to
American troops, which he favors, is
being discussed with the French gov
ernment. He explained his recent
order prohibiting the sale of all in
toxicants except light wines and beer
and the conditions prevailing in
France which caused it to be drawn
as it was.
"The question of prohibiting the
sale of all ,intoxicants to American
troops is under discussion with the
French Government" said Gen. Per-
shing, "but, Of course, there are diff
culties here in France that do not cx-
ist in the United States. The gen
eral order issued December 18 was
long step toward the prevention Of
drinking among our men.
"It was not by any means intended
to convey an injunction to the Ameri-
can troops to drink light wine and
beer, but quite the reverse. 1t was
drawn to conform to French regula-
tions on the subject.
cit stated only that light wine and
beer would be permitted and pro-
hibited the purchase of and accept
ance of gifts of whiskey, brandy,
champagne Or similar beverages. 1t
ordered that all drinking places where
such articles are sold be forbidden
American soldiers. 1t is the same
regulation made in France by the
British army and by the French.
"Although I am heartily in favor of
prohibition for the American cxpc-
dtionary force, the situation in
France and the United States is not
the same. Comparatively few French
people drink water as we do; they
drink wine instead. This is partly be-
cause the French water supply is not
as pure as ours. French wine is light
and much less Intoxicating than is
generally supposed. An intoxicated
Frcnchman is rare sight, indeed.
French beer also is by no means
strong. The French government is

ration. Obviously there are obstacles
to forbdding wine shops in the zone
of the army to do business at all,
which practically is what the French
would have to do. Local sentiment

THE MONTH OF MARS

March is the month of desperate
fighting and of the initial development
of great strategic plans. Last March,
says a news dispatch, the French and
British made their most effective joint
attack of the war, in the west, which
was followed by the great German re-
tirement to the famous Hindenburg
line on March 1920. At the same time.
the British army at the other end of
the war area, in Mesopotamia, moved
forward, and March II captured Bag
dad.
In 1916, March saw the maximum eff
fort put forth by the Germans to cap
ture Verdun. The beginning of the at
tack on the fortress was advanced by
the Crown Prince to the last week
in February, for the purpose of secur-
ing the benefit of a surprise assault.
But, the heaviest fighting fell in
March, and it was the March defen-
sive of the French army that broke the
back of the German movement.
In March, 1915, the British started
their first spring offensive, which re-
suited in the capture of Neuve Cha
pelle. The Russian advance in Gal
icia broke through the Austro-Hun-
garian defences, in March, 1915 and
captured the great frotress oil
Przemysl, and further to the south, IN
vaded Hungary.
The closing days of March, 1918,
have seen the opening of a campaign
which bids fair to eclipse similar oper-
atoms in all the worlds history of war
fare

ment of the inevitable triumph of the
forces of democracy. Soldiers of the
autocratie Prussian regime may be
driven to the lannon's mouth in mass
formation to be moved down by the
thousands only for limited period.
There is an end to all things, and the
time cannot be far distant when the
supply of men willing to march to
certain death is exhausted 1t has been
kept up thus far by the immense re-
serves concentrated on the one sec
tor.
The attitude of the people of Cor
dova in these trying times may very
well be taken as typical of the atti-
tude of the people of the nation. The
fateful news of the past few days has
been received, not with despair. but
with new determination to carry on
the war to a successful finish to the
extent of the country's resources in
men and material. 1t has had the eff
feet of opening the eyes of the people
to the fact that every resource at the
command of the nation will be needed
But there is not the least doubt of the
ultimate outcome of the war A feel
ing of sorrow for the brave fellows
who are giving up their lives in
democracy's cause, and a knowledge
that many more must make the su-
preme sacrifice, but strengthens the
conviction that while the successful
termination of the war is postponed by
each German success, the victory is
certain.

WHERE THE FUNDS WENT

Another highly interesting fact that
has been brought to light in the con-
gressional investigation relates to the
fund raised by German-Americans in
the earlier days of the war for the re-
lief of war sufferers in Germany. AS
is we'll known, the Red Cross of Ger
many is a government institution, ad-
ministered by army officials. In 1914,
shortly after the war began, when the
American Red Cross was raising funds
for relief in Belgium and Northern
France, the German-American ALI
ance started fund for the German
Red Cross" Faint notes of warning
were heard that this money would
never reach the war sufferers, but
they were not needed, and gave the
pro-Germans the opportunity of max
ing themselves particularly obnoxious
in this country. DR.. Bernard Dern-
berg, head of the German propaganda
in this country at the time, and who
later was politely asked by the gov
