picture giving an insight into the
German attitude toward the United
States and the other countries of the
world. The picture was shown last
night and was greeted with enthu-
siasm. The hand-clapping and cheer
ing of the big audience could be heard
for blocks as the great picture, de-
picting our ambassador to Berlin
facing German antagonism and in
trigue, stood manfully for the prin-
ciples for which Americans are now
fighting. There is powerful lesson
in these pictures and real patriotism

fail to see the picture will miss the
greatest picture that has been shown
in Moscow since the war began.

GERMANY CANNOT WIN THE WAR

Every effort made by Germany during the past six
months has been weaker than the preceding it.
Each Of the five drives made for the channel ports
and Paris has fallen down than the before
it. The first lasted three weeks and much ground
gained The second failed in less than two weeks
The third lasted about 10 days and the fourth fzzled
out at the end Of five days The fifth failed the first
day it started It is admitted that the drive started
Monday morning at daylight is failure. The Ger
have suffered terrible losses and have made
gains worth mentioning, none that of any great
military value.
Each succeeding defeat weakens the morale of the
German army and the German people Thick-headed
they are it is beginning to penetrate their hink
tanks" that Germany cannot win and that they have
been the dupes of heartless brigand, whose only
ambition to honor for himself and his six
He wanted thrones for each Of them and

end.
Germany is rapidly growing weaker. The allies
rapidly growing stronger. America is the great
power that the saving of the of the allies

world for the kaiser. England could not have with
stood the German attacks much longer. It is known
that England suffered terribly in the second German

England's army back where it in March, but the

erection of potato Starch factory.
Machinery is now en- route. 1t is ex-
pected the plant will be in operation
by September l. The capacity will
be 10 tons of potatoes daily. This
will be increased as the conditions
warrant. The managers state they
will be in the market for Gull potatoes
at fair prices. They do not expect to
use any first-grade potatoes as these
command too high a price for food
use. The factory will be the first Of
its kind west of the Mississippi.

structive lecture with the slides.
The meeting is regarded as highly
successful and Professor Prem Moore,
of the University of Idaho, expressed
a belief that it will do much to stimu-
late the production of better poultry
during the war. Mr.. Upton, of British
Columbia, stated that poultry produc-
ton and egg production per bird have
actually shown an increase in Canada
since the war began. Professor
Thompson, Of New Mexico, stated
that poultry production is regarded by
the government as of such vital i'm
portance that although he wished to
enlist in the army and fight for his
country, the department of agriculture
had assured him that he can do more
to help win the war by increasing the
poultry and egg production than in
any other way. He told of conditions
in New Mexico where 80 per cent of
the population is Mexican and the
taste runs to fighting cocks and birds
of fancy plumage rather than egg
production. He told of improved con-
ditions since he had been working
there, and of finding, when he first
took up the work, II males and four
females in the poultry yards on one
farm and said this was not an exag-
gerated case. Now New Mexico peo-
pie the taking an interest in pro-
lucing eggs and table fowls.

| try fanciers will drive to Pullman to
visit the all-northwest egg-laying con-

The program has contained some
very interesting and instructive talks
and papers. DR.. E. H. Lindley, presi-
dent of the university, delivered a
strong address on Science and the
war;" in which he showed his science
is doing more than any other single
factor in the war and pointed out that
college men, men of education, espe-
cially along scientific lines, are as i'm
portant as any other class in this
great struggle and are really part
of the fighting force.
Professor Helen Dow Whitaker
head of the poultry department OF
Washington State college, told of
lessons gained from the all-north-
west egg-laying contest" now in prog
ress at that school. Charles S. Brew

WARNING AGAINST
FAKE WAR HEROES
PROPAGANDISTS ARE POSING
AS ALLIED SOLDIERS

Warnings are being sent to towns
of eastern Washington against num-
Der Of fake war heroes" who are
speaking at war rallies and taking up
collections afterwards. Several Of
these men appear in Canadian uni
forms and there seems to be no law
to prevent their so doing. The prin-
cipal damage these men do is not the
money they secure, but the fact that
they spread sedition and disloyalty
and are in reality German propa-
gandists. Posing as heroes, martyrs
and patriots they drop little remarks
in their speeches that are intended to
sink in. Five of these fraudulent war
heroes have been apprehended.
All towns before permitting self
styled heroes to address public meet
ings should first check up on their
reliability, regardless of whether they
are called Canadian, British or Am
erican patriots, the towns should, be-
fore permitting them to speak, see
that they have proper credentials,
either from their county council of de-
Tense or from the state council of de-
Tense or both.
