HUNS WILL WIN WAR
WITHOUT u. S. FOOD
[Continued from First Page.l


The willy Kaiser knew precisely
what was the matter and in
stantly set in motion his drive:
At the present moment coal is
selling for $140 a ton in Italy (;
only fifty per cent. of the rail-
roads are in operation, and the
whole people are on rations.
The fallacy that Germany may
be starved out Mr.. Heinz eX-
posed so ruthlessly that a uni
versal expression of disappoint-
ment murmured over the null
titude. "Unless we send 75,0O0,-
900 bushels of wheat to
Europe in the next three
months" he exclaimed at the
top of his voice, 1--WE may expect
defeat"
Germans Won't Starve
So far as Germany being starved
out he declared: Germany is in bet
ter shape now than a year ago in
food supply. The coal mines are not
working full time, nor the railroads.
but the munitlon factories are and
also the farms. DIR. Alonzo Taylor,
who studied Germany for years, said
that this country never can be starv-
ed out because she can always feed
herself. This means that any one is
foolish to talk of the war being over
in six months. What l hear in Wash
ington from men of vision is that the
limit will be two or three years. But
now we must feed these, our allies
Ammunition is secondary call. For
Gods sake stop sending ammunition
and send food, is the cry of a recent
telegram to this government"
Mr.. Heinz was cheered time and
again as he drove home his telling
points and when he paid rich tribute
to the women of Pennsylvania the
huge audience cLeered Justify.
The women of Pennsylvania,
said he. have been making an up
hill figi..." Last July this state reg
istered more women in the food serv-
ice than all the states of the Union
put together. This Is some record.
The women are doing their share, but
the men are Stacking. They want
bacon and sausage for breakfast
meatless days. They growl at the
conservation of 10 per cent. of sugar,
They do not realize that the person
who refuses to save is traitor"
10000 For Lampposts
The Food Administrator finished
with a furious denunciation of Ger
man sympathizers. "They are not fit
to have posterity," he shouted.
They're not fit to belong to a dem
ocracy. We have about 10000 Ger
man propagandists in this country
and they should all be hung up on
the nearest lampposts and shot" We
are not acting like men who are try
ing to win in a desperate situation.
People of Harrisburg, what are you
waiting for, some special dispensa-
tion of Providence in your behalf?
George Wharton Pepper, chairman
of the Pennsylvania Committee OF
Public Safety and a distinguished
Philadelphia lawyer, preceded Mr.
Heinz. He was introduced by Judge
George Kunkel, who became chair
man after a short address by Will
liam Jennings.
Mr.. Pepper first gave some de-
tails of the organization which he
represented and took occasion to
emphasize the services of Lewis Sad
Ter, of Carlisle, and Spencer c. Gil
bert, of this city. AS Mr.. Pepper
spoke he waxed more and more
earnest until the audience responded
with uproarous applause.
I'VE aren't fighting to crush Ger
many" he Disseminated, "but we
are fighting to crush the devil out OF
Germany, and tell you its going to
take "a devil of a lot of crushing
What are you waiting for, people
/ of Harrisburg, an interposition oi
Providence? God will not give u:
victory until we show our determi'
nation to win it ourselves. Close
your ears to the seductive who talE
of satisfactory peace There can be
no peace until we lick the Kaiser
Up to the Individual
Mr.. Pepper explained that this was
war of ideas, the most intense mo-
tive of all. Every one must there
fore take his place on one side ol
the other. Democracy is not only G
conception of government, but
state of mind. Autocracy is organ
lied fear. Democracy embodies trus
and confidence, and why should we
replace that with the Prussian SPY
system, the system which is part Of
their very life"
Painting a picture OF Jne poyS u
the front on such a night as las
night, Mr.. Pepper related the su
preme confidence those men have
in the power of the United State:
government and its ability to sue
tain them while abroad. Address
ing his appeal to his hearers he said
UNLESS you, you, everyone of you dc
your. part; unless you work day ano
night, not only day, but night a:
we'll, you are Withholding from those
men what they need. Unless yol

Loan every ounce of ability that 1:
in you. we cannot fortell what the
result may be. 1 mean it," he shout.
cd, 81 mean it, every word of 1t ano
it is up to you, man and woman tC
do your part in this struggle"
Let me ask you this question,
said the speaker. Did you not think
that when you had given your loved
ones for service that it was up tC
