government in solving the food problems
of England, which he said We're still seri-
Gus but appeared to be very we'll in hand.

time since the beginning Of the war, he
said Indeed, the food situation in Eng
land is as serious as present as 1t has been
at any time since the war began, but it
is being greatly relieved by what you are
sending US, especially cereals. And what
ever there is, is being distributed equally

holden we are to America for the supplies
which we are receiving, more particularly
of food, at this moment and during the
last few months. The value to the Allied
cause of these exports is incalculable The
representatives of France and Italy have
been working in close cooperation with
me at Washington, and We have found the
greatest goodwill in and received the
greatest assistance from both Mr. McAdoo
and Mr.. Hoover

The officials also indicated much APP

people OF the United States to respond

ing Government Changes
by Force Barred.

The Senate yesterday passed unani-
mously the walsh-King bill declaring
the Industrial Workers Of the World
and organizations OF similar character
to be under the ban Of the law. The
measure is aimed particularly at acts
Of violence and makes It unlawful for
any person to be a member Of an
association or organization which
teaches. advocates or defends such
acts.
An amendment proposed by Sena-
tor King to permit the Postmaster
General TO bar from the mails any
literature of such organizations WAS
rejected upon the ground that suffi-
cient power in this direction has been
given to the Postmaster General by
the sedition bill.
Senator Reed secured the adoption
Of an amendment to change the word
ing Of the bill to physical force"
rather than force" He said that
under the broad use of the term It
might be applied to boycotts. Senator
Hitchcock suggested the bill might
also operate against persons who ad-
vocated lynching in certain cases.
Senator Thomas, OF Colorado, urging
the passage OF the bill, said that the
existence of the I. w. w. was a ''libeI

to find out.
This little school has a total enroll

sale of S1,965 worth of stamps. The
school was divided into two sides and

in stamps among total enrolment Of
only 200 boys.
The total amount Of sales In the
State Department for the period from

OVER THE TOP
THIS is FIGHT TO FINISH
BETTER BE DEAD THAN LOSE
By United States Senator Key Pittman.

We have got to win this war no matter what it may cost in
human life, money or property. Germanys brutal and deceptive
treatment of the Russians has conclusively proved that Germany
went into the war with the purpose of dominating the world with
military force and that she will voluntarily accept nothing else.
Germany is the last stronghold of autccratc government. With its
downfall democratic rule of the people throughout the world will be
established and war will be practically impossible. This is a fight
30 the finish between militarism and democracy and we had better
be dead than lose. 1t is not the fight of the Government but of each
and all of our people. Unless every citizen of our country gives all
that he has to give we will not win this fight but will be AFFECT
vasas for generations to come to the most inhumane military auto
What have we to sacrifice by comparison? If the humblest and
poorest citizen realized the value of his support in this great war;
no matter how small it may be-the fight would soon be over and
happiness would again return not only to our own people but to the
entire world.
The people of my state have proven their patriotism. They
were the first to give their quota of volunteers to the army and they
supplied that quota five times over. They doubly subscribed their
FIRST Liberty Loan. They met the demands of the Red Gross and
the Knights of Columbus. They have done everything required OF
them in the past and I am confident that they will continue to meet
the necessary demands of our people in the same patriotic, self
sacrificing manner.

Woman's Committee for
Twelfth Federal Reserve
District to Form an
Organization
By MRS. A. S. BALDWIN
Chairman Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee, Twelfth Federal
Reserve District)

Now that we are actively in the war
and our men are in the front line
trenches, are being killed: are being
gassed. are being manned for life, it
would seem that every woman in the
land should be in the front ranks of
the civilian workers to help the mel
win the war.
Each of us has her part to play,
however small it may be, and whether
it be great or small it is of importance
that each shall perform her part to
the utmost of her ability.
Some can buy Liberty Bonds, some
can influence others to buy. Perhaps
some al only help by conserving the
omizing in household expenditures,
thus liberating and a~ugmenting the
essentials which must be sent "over
there" for the use of our army and
for the destitute civilian population Of
our allies.
In whatever way each woman OF
this Twelfth Federal Reserve District
can help, let her do her utmost that
we who are farthest from the front
may sustain our part OF the struggle,
and keep for ourselves and our chill
dren the blessings and privileges we
have inherited, and thus make it pos.
sible to win like blessings for the mil.
lions who are now in actual bondage.
We should not only save to help,
but the great lesson to be learned also
is TODD now without non-essentiais and
to make sacrifices so that the labor
which produces what we consider TO
be even essentials may be used to
produce those things which are actu.
ally essential for the support and
safety of those who are carrying the
burden of this unprecedented struggle
for freedom and democracy.
The aim of the Woman's Liberty
Loan Committee is to form an organi.
cation which shall make the woman
in every home in the land realize
these conditions and her RESPONSE
bility. that the message shall not
reach her only from one direction, but
from many. so that she shall be
brought to a full realization of her
responsibility.

what Hart says:
Every American who has accepted

and has lived the large and free life
bought by the blood of many brave
and devoted men, and passed on to us
a priceless heritage. has a chance
now to repay.
1T Is for him at this instant to
testify to the world what he knows
he owes his country.
He should at once, and cheerfully,
give a little of his goods that his
country has secured to him.
He should promptly say to the
world, which is listening, and perhaps
cynically criticising:s When my coun.
try asks me for life or for money
.c~heerfully offer BOTH
HE should demonstrate that pa.
triotism is something greater and
more sacred than an Idle sentiment.
And in contributing according to
his means for the high purpose placed
before him by his President. he should
appreciate that in reality he Is max.
