NEW YORK, March 29.-Brig. Gen.
l.. r. Kenyon of the British army, ad
dressing the Broadway association at
the Hotel McAlpin uttered warning
against the German propaganda -
which pretends that England has not
done her full share in the war and
that her colonies and her allies bear
the chief burden of sacrifice. General
Kenyon quoted statistics of British
casualties showing that England and
Wales, supplying 20 per cent of the
| total armed forces sent into the war
| by British empire, sustained 70 per
cent of the casualties, as compared to
| "a per cent of the total casualties sus-
tanned by Scotland, Ireland, Canada,
Australia, and all the other colonies.
! eve need not go very far to find
the source of these lies declared Gen
eral Kenyon. "They are spread by
German propagandists to create dis
trust and discord among the nations
allied against Germany in this war
for democracy.
He pointed ont that if it had not
been for the British navy the Atlantic
Ocean by this time would have been
virtually a German lake and Germany
would have brought the havoc of wal
to this side of the world. AS to the
land forces, official reports on the rela

Africa, showed that England had givel

VICTORY
IS ASSURED
UNCLE SAM

"Victory" is Uncle Sans. The
famous slogan Of the government in
its conservation campaign, Food will
win the war;" may now be summed up
in the one word "Victory" which is
now the property of the United States
food administration by reason of a
formal assignment just received by
Mr.. Hoover.
Of all the names suggested in con-
nection with the new nationwide cam
paign for the further conservation of
wheat flour, being inaugurated this
month by the baking industry, that of
"Victory'' was by far the most popu-
lar. Investigation, however, revelop-
ed that "Victory" was trade mark
of the National Biscuit company, duly
registered in the United States patent
Office and in use since 1901, and there
fore it's property.
President R. E. Tomlinson, of the
National Biscuit company was appeal
ed to and promptly responded by say
ing it would be pleasure to transfer
to the food administration all rights
in this trade mark. The formal as
signment has now been received and
the thanks of the United States food
administration extended to the compa-
ssy for its patriotic contribution.
