FOOD CONSERVATION
Hoover Asks America TO Help

The message Of Herbert Hoover, u
s. food admi nistrat0r, intended to be
read IN churches and lodges this
week, but the communication of
which 10 that manner In Ratbdrum
was prevented oy the Influenza clos
ing order, constitutes an appeal TO
the American people to save food
during the season Of l9l8-I9 TO
enable the shipment Of supplies TO
the starving nations OF Europe. The
message states that the people of
Belgium, northern France, Serbia,
Roumania. Montenegro, Poland,
Russia and Armenia rely upon Amer
ica for Immediate aid. In spite of
wheat supplies now being accessible
from India, Australia and Argentina
the demand upon America is greater
than ever TO prevent famine and
anarchy in the stricken nations.
"America", says Mr. Hoover 10 MS
message. "by her participation 10 the
war, has accomplished her objective
of self.defense and OF vindlcating the
efficiency of a government in which
the people and the people only, are
sovereigns. She has established the
foundations of government by the
people, thru the enemy countries and
this is the real bulwark OF world
peace. We have yet to build on these
foundations. No government nor

German Socialism Defined.
(E. A. Bryan, Idaho Commissioner
of Education.)


There have been many brands OF
socialism, or rather many uses and
misuses OF the term. Each man who
calls himself a socialist makes his
own definition and repudiates all
Others. So, whether his beliefs are
merely for a broad philanthropy on
the one hand, or verge to the opposite
extreme of red-handed anarchy on
the other, he describes his position
by this much-used and much'abused
word.
What / call "German socialism"
refers TO the third great movement
Of socialiStic thought 10 which the
leaders were practically all German,
and 10 which the system was charact.

all absorbing conception of the state.
Built upon this foundation, it has
CeFGdIu uIOdu Cudl dCtCll"OISo'
First. all the people in civilized
nations are divided into two distinct
aud opposing classes-the proletarlat
and the bourgeoisie. These are
foreign words and hard for the
American to use and understand, but
everybody belongs 10 the one or the
other group.
Roughly speaking, the proletarlat
are non. property owners and the
bourgeolsie are property owners;
roughly speaking, the proletariat are
the unattached wage-earners, the
bourgeois!e are property owners and
employers of labor. In Europe a
bourgeoise is middle-class man
above peasant or wage-earner, and
below the gentry, socially speaking.
He is farmer, merchant, manufac-
turer or business man. Professional
men are likewise classed as belonging
to the bourgeoisie.
Oftentimes, the educated, whether
owners Of property or employers OF
labor or not, are classed as bourgeoisie.
Oftentimes, too, socialist propaganda
lists, highly educated, and perhaps
rich, frequently described as the
.Intellectuals, class themselves with
the proletariats and espouse their
cause.
According to the theory, there Is
| perpetual and eternal war between
the proletarat and the bourgeolsle
Allegiance to the proletarat, oI
workers throughout the world Is
superior to any national allegiance
Indeed, it is generally assumed tha'
governments as they now exist art
but instruments in the hands OF th'
bourgeoisie for the exploitation OF th'

Practically the only possibility of their safety Is having been picked up by an east bound vessel. but because of the fact that they were slightly out of the regular course of the transatlantic vessels it Is believed that they have been lost.

 AT BRIDGEPORT

BRIDGEPORT. Conn, Sept. 16.- Hundreds of the strikers at the mu- nitiOn factories returned to work to- day, as was anticipated after the President had sent his message. Be fore returning the strikers held a meeting and formally declared the strike off. It is not thought that any have turned down the offer of the company to take them back under their former standing, but it is pos sible that some will be reported later. Those who have not returned will be dealt with drastically by the government. They will not be al lowed to return to work, and no claims for exemption on the ground of working at a necessary occupa- tion will be allowed, so that all who are physically fit will be drafted for war work and no matter where sta toned will have to work under the pay of soldiers. The local boards have been instructed to show them no leniency.

 WITH GERMANY

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 16.-A note from Lenine to the peoples commits saries hints that the Bolsheviki may form an allegiance with the Ger mans. He says that the Bolsheviki alone are powerless to continue the struggle against the enemy and that the leaders are daily becoming more convinced of the fact, and that the only way out is to conclude an ali ance with the nearby countries. and that they must not shrink from ally ing with imperialists. The only near by empire of any power is Germany, so the only conclusion winch can be drawn is that they are preparing the people for the alliance with Germany. which will, not surprise the allied leaders, who have long suspected that such a move was being con templated.

 NOT SO LARGE
 IN THE TOTALS

WASHINGTON. D. C., Sept. 16.- The draft registration returns which have been coming in from the nearby states show that the estimate of the officials. although it will be exceeded will not be exceeded by nearly SC many as was thought just after the registration. The returns from six teen states and the district of Co lumbia give total of 3.2SS,629, which for those states and districts, anG fails to justify the assumption that the estimate of the country will be greatly exceeded.
