RATION FAMILY SHOWS WHEAT
LESS PATRIOTISM OF THE
RIGHT SORT

Albuquerque, N. NJ, April 81
One of the first and most gratifying
responses received by Food Admins
traitor Ely to the appeal to citizens
to sign the wheatless pledge was
from Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. johnson and
Miss Emma Johnson, Ration, N. M.
This family joins the Total Absti-
nence Club" and gladly offers its
stock of flour to the country.
Mr.. Ely received the following let
ter from these patriotic people:
Gas a patriotic American family
we wish to forward Immediately our
pledge to refrain absolutely from the
use of all wheat products until such
time a9 our government shall again
add, further, that we have on hand
over one hundred pounds of wheat
flour which we will gladly consign to
government employees to be used in
any wav they may see fit to aid in
supplying our allies. We acquired
this flour one year ago last Septem-
Der when a Santa Fe strike seemed
imminent and -four prices fluctuated
very much. During that period, using
a small. amount which we had on
hand at the time of this purchase
nd Hooverizing closely since the cal
came to do so, we have succeeded in
limiting our wheat flour consumption
to about seventy-fve pounds. If al
any time -four is commandeered
please let us know so that we may
promptly give over the little stock
we have on hand. Yours for an allied
victory. W. l.. JOHNSON.

TRIUMPH OF FREEDOM DEPENDS
ON SACRIFICES CHILDREN
OF LIBERTY ARE WILL
ING To MAKE

Lloyd George, Englands prime
minister, recently wrote the follow
ing:
81 never believed that the war
would be a short war or that in some
mysterious way, by negotiation or
compromise, we could free Europe
from the malignant autocracy which
is cndeavoring to trample il into sub
mission and moral death.
81 always believed that the machine
which has established its desposic
control over the minds and bodies Of
its victims and has then organized
and driven them to slaughter. in or
der to extend that control to the rest
of the world. would only be destroyed
if free peoples proved theselves strong
and steadfast enough to defeat it's
attempts in arms.
"The events of the last few weeks
must have made il plain to every
thinking man that there is no longer
room for compromise between tho
ideals for which we and our enemies
stand. Democracy and autocracy have
come to the death grip; one or the
other viii fasten It's hold on mankind
81 have no doubt that freedom will
triumph. But whether it will be soon
or late, after a. final supreme effort
in the next few months, or long drawn
agony, depends on the vigOr and self
sacrifice with which the children of
liberty, especially those behind the
lines, dedicate themselves to this
struggle.
"There is no time for ease. delav
or debate The call is imperative, the
choice is clear. II is for each free
citizen to do his part"

Awful Price Paid by Germany

IN great numbers today represent
ing the awful price paid by the
Germans for their attack. This
morning the allied lines in Flan-

forward yesterday. AT one time
yesterday the Germans appeared
to have had some men on the
lower slopes of both Mont Rouge
and the Sherpenburg after they
had succeeded in driving a small
wedge into the French lines be-
tween these two elevations.
Things looked critical but the
French counter attacked deter
minedly and established vir-
tually all the cid positions.
