SUNDAY JOY RIDERS.

asked that Sunday joy riding cease.
The pending scarcity of gasoline has
iInpelled the request
1t is hoped that by the suspension
OF the custom of driving automobiles
or Sunday to save vast quantity of
gasoline for the use of the army
abroad. If people at home obey the
request there will be no need for fur
Their restrictions upon the use of
gas" If the request is not needed,
tEen the government will make the
suspension of all motor traffic on Sun
day obligatory.
At present there is no binding OBJ
legation placed upon automobile own
ers to suspend operation of their
cars on Sunday; there is no penalty
attached for disobedience. There is
simply an appeal to the patriotism
Of all to help in the saving of gaso-
lire, and to help in the manner pre-
scribed by the authorities at Wash
ington.
All are included within the proyis-
ions of the request. The man who
rides melely for the joy Of riding, and
the taxi driver who drives for the
occasional dollar that he picks up on
the Sabbath are put in the same class
The oily exceptions to the rule are
tie doctors and undertakers, and even
these ale asked to use their cars only
in professional service-the physician
who carries his family for a joy ride
on Sunday displays a lack of patriot
ism equal to that of the taxi driver
who continues to operate, or the
transfer man who moves a trunk on
Sunday
Then there are the friends of auto
owners who will ride with some one
else on Sunday. During the continu-
ance of the shortage of gasoline, such
action is anything but patriotic. The
Times Recorder believes the man who
rides in some other mans car on Sun
day is even less a patriot than the
one who drives his own car and open
, ly defies the authorities in their effort
to decrease the consumption of gas
oline, and We appeal most earnest
ly to all citizens to obey the request
both in letter and spirit.
There is in the request no prohibi-
! ton OF the sale of gas" on Sunday
but we hope that dealers in Americas
will voluntarily cease selling oil on
Sunday, at least during the continu-
ance of the curtailment of it's use
Such action would reflect the highest
of patriotism upon their part. and
would result in a minimum of in
conl enience for all concerned. In
der the present system garage own
ers and employees have little season
Tor rest; they work on Sundays al
frost as regularly as on other days
I of the week, and many car owners
never pretend to get a supply of gas
olire ca Saturday for their Sunday
needs.

PRUSSIANIZING THE WORLD.

ional Geographic Magazine in a re
cent issue treats of this phase 70 the
German ruler most interestingly. The
magazine says:
Paltry indeed seem the dominions
of all the tyrants of the past, who
attempted to wade through slaugh-
ter to the throne of world empire
compared with the vaulting ambition
of the Hohenzollerns for Prussianiz-
ing the earth, as seriously proposed
by statesmen, diplomats, and military
experts of Germany during the last
few years.
At the time that Germany plunged
the world into war four years ago,
the area of her empire in Europe
was 20S,7S0 square miies-iarger than
that of any other nation in continent
tai Europe save her vassal, Austria
Hungary, and Russia. She had a pop
ulation at home of nearly 70,O00,000,
while her colonial empire, exceeding,
million square miles, had an add
tional population of more than a.,
10000.
But she was not content. These
possessions must be but the core of
RE great sphere of dominions which
she would accumulate in a rolling
tide of blood conquest!
Germany claims as her right
Through her spokesman, the leading
citizens of the empire), the following
All of Europe save Portugal, Spain,
the uninvaded portion of France, the
British Isles, and the as yet uncon-
quered portions of Russia. Ia brief.
she wants in Europe 100000 square
miles of the total continental area of
3,S72,0OO square miles and 279,OOO,-
600 of the 464OO0OOO inhabitants.
All of South America save the two
inconsequential colonies. of British
and French Guiana.
In Africa her modest claims EN-
brace 6,840,000 square miles of the
total area of II, 1922 900 square miles,
leaving less than 100000 square
miles, largely desert, for her sister
nations.
Considering the extent of the con-
tinent, Germany's Asian aspirations
would seem amazingly conservative
for her, were it not that much of the
land to which she valves claim is,
like that in Africa, an unproductive
waste. With Russian Turkestan, In
dia, China, vassal Turkey, and the Mo
hammedan realms of Persia and At
ghanistan-the area of which she
wants-the Central Empire would
have $685. 900 square miles of this
continent, sustaining a population Of
approximately 775,000,0O0 And there
should be added to these figures the
Dutch East Indies, Germany's by
right of the might of larger nations
over smaller neighbors - 735, 900
STUART miles and 4S,OOO,OOO people.
All of Australia, with an area of o.
5T4,5S1 square miles and a popula-
ton OF nearly 100000 people
Of North America the Pan-Germans
profess to covert only Cubt, General
America and Canada at the present
time, but some of her futurists see
the American people conquered by
the victorious German spirit, so that
IN hundred years the United States
will present an enormous German
Empire.
Thus it will be seen that the lands
and peoples which German statesmen
and would be empire builders actual
y claim as their right equal $4,000 =

TRANSPORTING OUR TROOPS

The world has been astonished al
the great number of American sol
diers transported to Europe in the
last half year. The number now ap-
proximates 100000, and the loss
of life in transporting them has been
almost infinitesimal.,
The success with which we have
moved our troops from the scattered
camps in this country and across
5000 miles of ocean to the battle
front is great evidence of American
efficiency. We have not only surpris-
edour enemies; be have surprised our
friends and ourselves.
The British controlled of shipping,
Sir Joseph Maclay speaks of this
bovement across the sea as "a trans
port miracle We have been in
clined to attribute this achievement
safely to our navy and our shipping
but the British controller speags in
high praise of the share the Ameri-
can railroads had in the work. He
says:
eff the American railroads had not
been operated with success the whole
transport movement might have
failed, because it was essential to
quick TRANSPORTATION that the troops
should be- ready for the ships"
Director General McAdoo seems
justified in his statement that while
the development of the policy of the
railroad administration requires time
progress has been made toward the
goal.

ID. S. s. DESIGN ATTACKED

AMERICA-The National Sculp-
ture society has lodged a protest at
Washington against the present de-
signs of the new Distinguished Ser
vice Cross and the Distinguished
Medal, on the ground of lack of ar
tistic merit. The society asks that
American artists be called on to de-
sign better ones.
The Distinguished Service Cross is
the only one of the two decorations
the design of which has been seen
to date by the A. E. F. While every
member of the A. E. F. would be glad
to win the D. s. c. or the d. S. NJ, or
both, regardless of their design one
criticism of the d. S. c. in its pre-
sent form has been made in several
quarters.
1t is that the decoration as now
constituted, seems trifie too ornate,
too regal to be in keeping with the
democratic nature of the government
which confers it, and that some
thing a little more Spartan, might
conform better to the nature of the
deeds performed to win it, and to the
spirit in which it is bestowed.-The

PREDICTS ALLIED
TRIUMPH IN YEAR
Premier Clemenceau Believes War
! Will End Shortly; Praise for
American Troops

PARIS-It is the belief of Premier
Clemenceau that a complete triumph
will b e won during the present year
by the arms of the allies. and that
the war will have ended before an
other year has passed, according to
Senator ]. Hamilton Lewis of Illinois
who had lengthy conversation with
him. The grist of the conversation,
with the consent of M. Clemenceau,
has been given to the Associated
Press by Senator Lewis.
Premier Clemenceau paid high tri-
butte to President Wilson as con-
structive leader and said he was
greatly impressed by Secretary Baker
as man of great resources. The
premier said when American troops
arrived, uncertainty existed as to
whether they could bring their un-
doubted courage into immediate ac-
ton after having been trained to a
life of peace, but the first showing
Of the American troops had amazed
France with their bravery and solid
perfection.
The premier declared that the
work of the American troops on the
battlefield did more to terrorize Ger
many than any other thing the enemy
has met.

ONLY NEEDED GARMENTS
TO BE MADE FROM WOOL

That the millions of Red Cross
knitters may know the plans of the
Red Cross for future knitting, George
E. Scott, acting manager of the
American Red Cross, today issued
the following statement:
when the war industries board
sometime ago advised the Red Cross
that future production of knitting
yarn would be greatly reduced we
Immediately commenced to purchase
all yarns suitable for our knitting.
AS a result we have today in stock
or on order 100000 pounds of
yarn for distribution to our chapters.
1t is hoped that we may obtain some
additional yarn from wool unsuitable
for government uses. The expected
total will however be considerably
below the ten million pounds used
last year. While the total of yarn
we can secure is being determined,
we are studying how to use our sup
ply to produce only garments which
are most essential. When a conclu-
sion is reached we will announce our
full program of knitting.
"In addition to this stock of yarn,
the Red Cross has ready for distri-
button 100000 sweaters, $4,000
$4,000 wristlets,. 228,O0O
helmets and 1,328,OOO pairs of socks,
a total of 3,674,000 articles. We are
hopeful that these and such addi-
tional garments as we shall be able
to make will enable us to meet the
more urgent requirements of our
men during the coming winter. In
this connection it will be Of interest
to the women who have been knitting
to know that from September 1,
1917 to June 80, 1918, the Red Cross
distributed $4,000 knitted gar
ments to the army and navy of the
United States. During the same per-
iod $4,000 knitted articles were
sent to the Red Cross commissioners
in France and Italy for distribution
to soldiers, sailors and civilians.
AT the request of the war indus
tries board, with which the Red
Cross works in close cooperation, we
have urged chapters and individual
workers not to buy wool in the open
market but to secure their materials
thru our department of supplies"

Traffic rules of the air are so we'll

France there have been only two.
One was fatal to both avaitors.
The other harmed neither airman-

Machines No. 313 and 1923 crashed

Together they fell several hundred
feet. Then they separated and both
airmen made a safe landing several
hundred yards apart. Both ma
chimes were so badly damaged that
they were classed as a total loss.
After the landing, the two avia-

each other.
