In many villages there are neighbor-

tons. temperance or fraternal, meet
Ing regularly and considering all sorts
Of matters touching the neighborhood
welfare. These clubs have been Civ.
ing a good deal OF attention to food
conservation. as their programs the
past winter show. The result has
been helpful. and 1t is noteworthy that
where these neighborhood clubs have
taken an active interest in food and
other patriotic questions there the
pastors of the churches have paid at
tention to the matter from the pulpit.
The neighborhood club speaks we'll

THE GERMAN SLAVE MARKET

Some idea Of the savagery to which
the German nation has descended
may be gained from the following
proclamation signed by Governor
General Won Beseler Of Poland and
posted in conspicuous place in Was
saw. The proclamation reads:
"The Government suggests
that Mothers having children
should send them to Germany to
be brought up and enducated.
Mothers who are willing to make
this arrangement will receive
the sum Of $50 marks for boy
and 100 marks for a girl. No
other aid will be given"
The beastly inhumaneness of such
a proposition is without parallel in the
annals Of the dealings of enlightened
people with their equals, and only
goes to show the total depravity of
character to which the German phil
osophy Of force has led them. That
the doctrine Of might makes right is
inhuman and will lead to any extreme
needs no further proof.
Germany is suffering from a huge
drainage population. The death rate
is running far ahead Of the birth
rate, the former having risen rapidly
and the latter declined in alarming
proportion. This explains the brutal
aid offered to Polish mothers by the
Potsdam savages.
A boy is worth fifty marks more
to the militarists because he can be
made into a soldier while the girl
can only be a mother. The cool COM
mercialism of the discrimination in
price stamps the plan for just what it
is-a shameless traffic in human flesh.
Our only wonder is that fiat rate
was not offered instead of one based
on weight, physical condition and age.
The cruel lash on the last sentence
of the above proclamation is typical
of the modern Huns. mo other aid
will be given," or in other words if
you will not sell your children into
slavery then you and they may starve
to death.
Fortunately something like mil
lion American soldiers are now in
France and two million more will be
there before the close Of the present
year, to avenge such wanton savagery
and inhuman practices. One is COM
PEELED to wonder what excess the
German rulers will resort to next. In
view of their past deeds it would moi
require very great stretch Of the
Imagination to find them next resort.
