AMERICANS HEART
AND SOUL IN THE WAR
Sir George Adams Smith So Declares
After ao,ooo-Mile Lecture Tour
in United States.

New York, Aug. IL. After travelling
more than 10000 miles and delivering
10 addresses in every part of the Unit
ed States, Sir George Adam Smith, the
Scottish clergyman who has been max
ing speaking tour of the country un-
der the auspices Of the national commit
tee on the churches and the moral aims
Of the war, reported to the bureau Of
information Of the British war mission
to-day that the American people every
where are fully aroused and heart and
soul in the war.
From a very wide experience in all
parts of the country and among all
classes" says Sir George, II am sure
and all the boundless energies of the
United States are thoroughly and intel
ligently enlisted in the war This is as
true of the more German eenters as of
the rest of the country. / had nowhere
more cordial reception for my message
than In st. Louis, Cincinnati and Mil.
waukee, and among men with German
names. My chairmen and other speakers
were frequently men OF German descent. I"
Sir George came TO America last March.
"The mission with which ] was
charged" says Sir George, was two
fold: to enforce the moral aims common
to the allies and to tell the part which
Great Britain has taken in the war
Il found everywhere an enthusiastic
response TO these sentiments and argu.
ments. know that the American people
are convinced of the justice of our com
mon cause and resolute to carry it
through on these moral issues which
Germany has forced on the world.
II found good deal of ignorance of
the scale on which Great Britain had
been fighting and supporting the war,
and naturally of the details of our war
fare. Most Americans had failed to value
the many fronts--on three continents
on which our armies have been engaged !;
the vast numbers Of our armies which
were raised before CONSUMPTION was es-
tablished; or the extent of our sacri-
fees Isupplied them with concise infor-
nation ON each Of these subjects. Many
audiences were amazed at the facts I
gave them; and it would have been well
worth coming to America for this pur-
pose alone"

LIFTS MEAT EMBARGO.
Food Administrator Advises Home Con-
sumption Of Lighter Beeves.

Washington, Aug. l2.-Restrictions on
consumption Of beef in public eating
places and the voluntary restrictions on
householders, were removed Saturday by
the food administration. The regulations
rescinded had prohibited serving beef
more than once day in restaurants and
hotels, and limited domestic consumption
to one and one-half pounds a person
weekly.
The food administration requests that
the use of beef be restricted as far as
practicable to cattle which dress under
AIS pounds. Retailers are urged to pur-
chase lighter cattle, and the public is
asked to accept it, although used to
heavier beef, SO that the military forces
and the allies may have the heavier
grades which are required for export.
Drought in Texas, Oklahoma and some
cattle states of the northwest, the food
administration statement says, is caus-
ing an abnormal run to market of cat.
tie below market weights.

When to shut Your Eyes.

In an article about Thomas Edison
In the American Magazine, William
Maxwell the vice president Of the
Edison company, said:
"One bit of executive strategy that I
learned from Edison has stood me In
good stead d dozen times. He had the
wise habit of knowing when to shut
his eyes. There are times in every
organization when controversies arise
between even the most loyal and best
intentioned subordinates, Sometimes
1t is the wisest thing for the man at
the top to know nothing whatever
about them, to let them work them
selves out. I learned a great many
years ago. said Lincoln, that in a
fight between man and wife, third
party should never get between the
woman's skillet and the mans AK
helve.'"

NOT A CANDIDATE FOR
BANK COMMISSIONER
Frank c. Williams to Run as Newport
City's First Representa-

Newport, Aug. l2.-Frank @. Williams,
who for many years has held the Office
Of state bank examiner, viii not be q
candidate for reappointment to the office,
according to The Express and Standard,
which last week said that it was author
lied by Mr.. Williams to announce that
he will be candidate for election as the
new city Of Viewpoints first representa-
tive in the legislature. The Express and
Standard has the following editorial;
Hon. Frank @. Williams, who has
been q most satisfactory bank commits
sioner for some years, and with head
quarters at Montpelier will no longer be
a candidate for that office when his pres
emit term expires. He feels that he has
held the position long enough, and as his
residence is still in this city, feels that
he would like to return and make It his
permanent home. He has always taken
a great interest in the future welfare and
growth of Newport, always using his in
huence toward its progress whenever an
opportunity offered, and was one Of the
Prime Hofcls IA PlaSlhS INC Ne"Pott
Wrapping Machine Co, in our midst. AS
a city we are now entitled to city rep
resentative to the Vermont legislature,
In response to our editorial of last week,
calling for candidate to run for that
Office, Mr.. Williams has vouchsafed his
name He will meet with no opposition.
AS it was proper that the Hon G. s.
Emery should be our first mayor, so it is
likewise proper that the Hon. Frank G.
Williams should be our first city repre-
sentative and it is evident the voters
will look at it in this light. So we take
pleasure in announcing the name of the
Hon. Frank G. Williams as candidate
for that office"

HOW COLD AFFECTS SOUNDS
but Exact Reason Is Hard
TO Explain.

A close observer describes two phe-
nomena of nature not easily explained /:
First, that natural rounds are very
different in the colder than in the
warmer months Of the year; and, sec
ond, that waters have different tints
during the colder and warmer months
A number Of examples occur to
prove the first phenomenon. Who has
not noticed the contrast in the noise
Of the wind in different seasons when
II blows around the corner of the
house--in summer what a soft, mellow
tone II has and in winter what a
harsh, rough whistle?
Then, again, let US stroll along the
banks of a stream in May, June or
July, and we will observe that the wa
ter will then make a gentle, babbling
sound, while in November or winter
1t will, with not great volume, make a
hoarse, gurgllng noise.
Sdll again, If we ramble In the
woods during late spring or early sum
mer, we cannot but notice with what a
softness and mildness the wind has
been blowing through the tops Of the
trees; on the other hand, what roar
ing II makes In cold weather.
Perhaps the trees being with or
without foliage may cause some diff
ference, but II viii be observed in May,
before the leaves are out to any ex-
tent, there is even then marked diff
ference between that time and Decem-
Der. Often we have heard il along
telegraph wires during the summer
and winter, and have noted the con-
trast.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Artificial Sponge PropsaatIon.

The growing scarcity of sponges has
warned those familiar with harvesting
them that unless means are provided
to augment the natural supply the
sponge industry win be seriously Grip
pied in a few years more. An Eng
lishman, living in Florida, some time
ago selected a site Off the Florida
coast, where he started sponge farm.
At present he has about 100000
sponges, which are capable by subdi-
vision of increasing about tenfold ev-
cry three years. At the end of three
years an annual yield of 100000
sponges can be had. - Portsmouth

ough investigation The matter Of ex-
emption, the prevention of duplication in
taxation and the ironing out of those
technicalities through which some people
have escaped the payment of their just
share must also be settled before the
means Of raising additional revenue is
definitely decided upon.
One thing seems positive. The law
makers say they are determined that the
nations business shall not be hampered.
Ii also seems certain that the people of
America will not be compelled to bear
the heavy burden of taxation that has
been placed upon the English.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-01-30
Adjustment Needed

Now that full. particulars are at hand
for the observance of "Heatless days ,
a word of caution may not be an1lss to
each and every citizen who is likely
to feel the inconvenience OF closed shops
on Mondays. 1t has always been
well-known fact that the family larder
IS usually low on Monday, following
a closed Sunday. This always meant
an exceedingly busy day in most places.
Customers should make the burden upon
business places as light as possible by
accepting cheerfully the Inconvenience
and by rearranging their habits OF pur-
chase so that dealers may not be caused
unnecessary loss and may not be forced
TO over work and rush on Monday fore
moons or Saturdays to keep up. The
closing order would be blessing to the
retail stores if it would mean that house
wives would divide up their buying days
so that a more even run OF trade might
result. Perhaps Garfield had this figured
out.
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1918-01-30
HOW TO WIN THE WAR

Get word to the German soldiers and
civilians that the United States is a
country with opportunities open to the
whole world, for labor on terms assuring
the laborer his entire product. Add
to this assurance that all German soldiers
surrendering can have the advantage
of these conditions, as we'll as American
citizens. With this once understood,
the Kaiser's army would dissolve in a
month and permanent peace would
quickly follow. But it would first be
necessary to establish conditions in the
United States in accordance with the
promises. To do that, all unused and
inadequately used land must be opened
to labor, and to accomplish that the
Single Tax unlimited must be estab-
lished. Congress could make a start
at it with a Federal land value tax and
by doing away with taxes on labor.
The States should do the same. Those
who oppose this procedure are needlessly
prolonging the war, making harder the
task of the men in the field and increasing
losses and sacrifices. Besides, they are
making it possible for Germany to do it
first. Work for the Single Tax is the
most effective work for speedy victory
and peace.
