judge our fellow man from the

387.65 or a total, for linen cloths and thread Of

Food S0Uing

Aberdeen, S. D.. May 3O.--The peo-
pie Of America can accomplish much
In food conservation by organized
volunteer effort. according to figures
just given out by C. N. Herreid.
federal fod administrator for South
Dakota.
Careful figuring estimates that the
| surplus of exportable wheat in this
country for the 1917 crop totaled only
about 20 to 80 million bushels.
/ The United States has already sent
to the allied countries nearly 100
million bushels. and 1t is now hoped
that this figure will be increased to
$50 million bushels or above. before
the new crop comes in.
Since wheat is of greater military
necessity and assistance to the allied
countries than even munitions Of war,
the value of this cooperation and
saving on the part Of the patriotic
people Of the country can be realized
from these figures, Mr.. Herreid de-
clared. -
The Food administration. he said
Is confident that there will be even
! better response to the wheat saving
plea, now that the vital necessity for
the shipment of wheat to the allies is
being stressed.

"NOT A LOCAL QUESTION"

Mayor Van Lear of Minneapolis has re-
fused to repudiate the anti-war platform
Of the Socialist party.
The Nonpartisan league leaders are
supporting the candidacy of Mayor Van
Lear.
Walter Thomas Mills, the Socialist lect-
urer, who has spoken repeatedly for the
Nonpartisan league carried the message
of the farmers" to Mayor Van Lear.
The Socialist platform, adopted a year
ago in St. Louis, and since affirmed, de-
clared the entrance of America into the
war ga crime" and called for active OPP
position to all war activities.
The direct question as to whether or not
he approved or rejected the platform, was
put to Mayor Van Lear at luncheon of
the Saturday Lunch club, attended by 200
persons, including all the candidates for
mayor.
That isn't local question, was all
that he would reply.
In the name Of all that is decent, honest,
humane, and civilized what is '.Flocal
question, then2
He might as well make the same answer
If asked his attitude toward the Ten Com
mandments.

| or American plotting, or American candor,
or what you will, but if it marks real
attempt to utilize the political and ethno-
graphical forces Of southern and central
Europe as weapon against the Central
Empires, it may exercise an influence far
reaching enough to Offset the Russian de-
lection.
But the only way to whip the Germans
is with guns" the militarist will say, ig-
noring the fact that Germany's greatest
victories, in Russia and Italy, were won
with subtler weapons than the sword. It
is true the military power must be there,
and nobody any longer questions that, but
the step taken by Secretary Lansing may
mark the beginning of an attempt to wage
a 100 per cent war, utilizing all the forces
at hand, instead Of just one weapon.
Out Of possibly 180000,0O0 inhabitants
Of Germany and her vassal states, nearly
half Of them can be classed as virtual
slaves, racially antagonistic to Germany.
These races Include the Jugo-Slavs, Czechs,
Poles, Rumanians, Ruthenians, Lithuan-
ians, Let's, Arabs, Armenians, Greeks,
Jews, Italians, French and Belgians.
With but few million Germans in
America, Germany has carried on per-
sistent, never-ending propaganda against
war preparations here, using the forces of
politics, finance, and sabotage to weaken
American efforts.
With virtually half of the population
Of the Central Empire unsympathetic to
Germany's aims, and even actively antag-
onistic to German rule, the Allies have
made no concerted effort to make use Of
this tremendous force, which, if it were
organized and encouraged, might paralyze
the entire German war machine in a week.
The hope of the Jugo-Slavs is an indie
pendent state. America now is on record
officially, as sympathising with that aim.
America has the confidence of these OPP
pressed peoples as no other nation has If
the word is carried to them that America
has promised them aid and assistance in
throwing off the yoke it will encourage
them to work individually and collectively
for the downfall of Germany.
It's just propaganda, but it's American
propaganda, and the promises are worth
100 cents on the dollar.
Another congress of oppressed peo-
Piles" will be held in few weeks in Paris.
America should send the biggest man
available to this congress to carry this
message-an ex-president if possible, Mr..
Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt.
