KAHN DECLARES
LOYALTY TO u. S.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. l4.-Ameri-
cans of German birth will not permit
the blood in their veins and the cali
of race to go beyond the call of honor
in this war, but will show their allie
glance to the United States and wear
as badge of honor the abuse and
spite of the few in this country who
love Germany better than they love
America, Otto H. Kahn, New York
banker, declared in addressing a mass
meeting here last night
st is not enough for we Americans
of German birth merely to do our.
duty and be loyal to the United
States" said Mr.. Kahn 1--WE must
speak out. Fair-minded men will
understand that we are not merely
/ blatantly patriotic in so speaking but
that we are proud to let it be known
that the blood in our veins can not
drown the conscience in our breasts;
that the faint of Germany is not in
the blood but in the system of ruler
ship.
Il was born I'm Germany | served
in the German army. | was closely
connected with German business in
terests until the outbreak of this war
know Germany and know the real
causes of this war Thirty years ago
almost to the day-Germany began
laying her plans for world conquest.
The true German saw this war COM
ing and fought against it, but there
was no chance against the system.
Germany can not offer the Russian
mobilization as all excuse. 1t was
provoked by Berlin and was a me-
mace only to Austria.
81 know Of my personal knowledge
that the stage was set fer it six years
ago, in connection with the Agadil
episode. | know that the pan-Ger-
mans meant to have a footing in
South America and once there
would have threatened and had pre-.
pared plans to threaten this yer,
country of ours.
"In 1913 Austria planned to con.
quer Serbia, and So informed Italy
then her ally.
"The spirit which brought abou
Ito war was expressed by Neitzsche
a great German, who wrote, years be
fore the war started, the following:
"'You shall love peace as mean:
to prepare for new wars. You say
that good cause may hallow ever
war, but l say ITO you that it is IT,;
good war which hallows every
cause
"And Vorwaerts, before the wa
started, declared:
The Camarilla of war lords i
working witlE absolute, unscrupulou
means to caE-y out their fearful de
signs to preEfpitate a world war
"AmericarE of German blood know
that it was hot the old Gcrmany-o
which we stre proud-that brougl
about war, But the German system.

 During War
Denver Millionaire -Sociolo- gist Starts Startling New
 Economy Fad.

Denver. Col, May 1'25.-Edwin A. Brown. Denver sociologist and repu. ted millionaire, author of stories or men who are down and cut, as a measure of war time economy, has an nounced that he will wear only sults of ,blue jeans, until the war ends. ne already has appeared in his new garo at two Sunday services at the E1rst Presbyterian church, one or the most fashionable in Denver.
 Mir. Browns first appearance at church caused more than ordinary at- tention to his clean and nearly iron ed "war suit" It drew almost as much attention as the sermon ms 1ei' low parishioners said.
 MT. Brown says he made the cnange from the conventional clothing or a man of his position to be "square with his conscience"
 "It was one way I found Of purcn' asing a Liberty bond" he said. A suit of the best cloth costs as mucn or more than a Liberty bond, l felt that the boys in tho trenches slve no thought to what they wear or eat and that I could do likewise ana use the difference in the cost, Of my clo'n- ings in buying bonds. '.
 The Denver man has two suits oI the same material. One he calls nfs

"society suit" This one always is neatly laundered. The other, of the same material, he uses fo" work in his war garden. It is of the same material only not so well ironed. 'lt consists of trousers and jumper, oi the pattern worn mostly by railroad enginemen and machintsts.
 "The best home-manufactured de mim can be bought. overalls and jun per for $4.50 a suit.' said Brown, "and splendid quality of khaki for $6 a suit. I shall wear the denim and neither shall I walk in the alleys because of it."

EAT LESS MEAT AND
 MORE VEGETABLES

w. N. lluioek, member of the 4 fl- ansas hotel and restaurant committee of the food administratjon yesterday received from F. E. WileS, chairman Of the state committee, the appended copy of a letter sent Mr. Wles by John McE. Bowman of the United States food administration:
 In ordinary times the person who eats meat more than once a day risks his health.
 "ln these times, when half of Fu- rope is on the verge of starvation; i when upwards of five millions of men. women and children have yielded their lives to hunger; and when the vitality of almsot twenty million more has i been weakened to an extent that makes many of them practically use 1 less as Wage-earners, present or fu- ture, the American who eats more meat than necessary is not patriot. "At this season of the year, when fresh vegetables and fruits are com- ing into the markets, when every day they are getting cheaper. there should be no excuse for anybody in this country to eat a large quantity of meat. Diet should be varied. The hot season demands the consumption of less meat and mere vegetables and fruits. Everybody should eat more vegetables. Everybody should Use more milk. Salads should be eaten.
 "MeatIess" days and meals were abolished sometime ago. The necessity for saving Meat has come again.
 Cone of the best ways of saving meat is to offer more vegetables, in greater quantity and at the very lowest possible prices.
 'ln most hotels and in manV res taurants there is practically no pro fit in meats. Poultry, has now become scarce. It must De conserved. Fish are plentiful and at least one variety of fish will be cheap in the city market every day.
 "We must have the hearty co-opefa- ticn of every hotel and restaurant in your state in this matter and that quickly. We must keep full supplies of food going to our soldiers and to the allies. We are stalking everything in this war and we must win it. Our greatest weapons is FOOD.'
