CORN WILL WIN
DEMUGkhCI WAX
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAIMSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat OF the United States
Has Been Sent TO Famine Threat
ened Europe.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 100000, 900 bushels, will save the
worlds food situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
| keep the body in state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes, especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days at
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before. Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe,
Today there are approximately 30
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the first
American cOlOnists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as
staple food during the War of the Rev
OlutiOn and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autOcracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives and
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread.
Corn bread-uSing corn meal entire
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound of
wheat saved in America means pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is assOci-
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual Importance
for Americans Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead of
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying and for
every other purpose filed by salad oils,
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ of
the corn.

"They attempt to tame men as they
atteroDt to tame animals" says Lieb-
knecht.
a civilian, when he has to deal with
an officer, is in even worse plight. At
Zabern, a colonel locked up thirty
civilians (including a judge) for "a
hours in a cellar, to make them prop
erly respect the uniform! On trial he
was acquitted Tin spite of an over
whelming protest from the powerless
Reichstag), and the Crownprince sent
him his congratulations Numberless
cases are cited of civilians run through
by officers whom they happened to
jostle in the street, of ladies forced to
surrender their seats in street cars to
officers, or pushed off the sidewalk
into the mud by uniformed gentle
men"
After his army service, the work
man, back at his job, has longer
hours and poorer pay than almost any
other European workingman. AS re-
suit, So per cent of the workmen's
families in Berlin live in single room,
according to Ambassador Gerard.
If the laborer does not like his
wages of course he can strike, but he
must not forget that the Kaiser once
proposed, on his own initiative, a law
making strikes punishable by three to
five years of penal servitude. Against
sickness, unemployment, and desti-
tuition in old age the government
shrewdly protects him, in part, of
course, at his own expense. He will
have to pay large share of his slen-
der savings into the governments in
Surance fund-and, if he should ever
leave the country, he will lose all he
has paid in! There's a reason! 1t is
an indirect method of restoring serf-
dom and of imprisoning the German
within the bounds of his own country,
so that he and his children may fur
nish the Kaiser a generous supply OF
cannon fodder.
The German-Amerfcan who loves
freedom and the blessings of peace
cannot therefore love a system, which
is the deadly foe of both. 'Kultur" I,
says a celebrated German writer,
Thomas Mann, lis a spiritual organi-
Zation of the world, which does not
exclude bloody savagery. 1t raises the
demonic to sublimity. 1t is above mo-
raIity, reason and science" Since this
picture of German Imperialism is only
to9 true, is it astonishing that it holds
out little attraction to anyone who
knows it for what it is. Is 1t astonish-
ing that many a German-American,
who has gone back to pass his old age
in the fatherland which he had left as
a youth, has found life there SO mar
row and fraedOm so restricted that
he has after a short time come back
again to land where the common man
enjoys full political liberty and finds
every business and social opportunity
open to him and his children?

Germany's Plan for World Power
By FREDERIC AUSTIN OGG, Professor of Political Science
University of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin Council Defense

But there are stronger proofs. One
of them is the meddlesomeness of the
Berlin government. The Kaiser once
remarked that nothing must go on
anywhere in which Germany does not
play a part" For a long time before
1914 the Empires staggering, saber-
rafting habits kept all Europe in fear
of the terrible thing that finally hap
pened. More than Once-as when the
Kaiser's government tried to form a
coalition of European nations against
us in 1898 to prevent our going to the
relief of Cuba-our own country has
felt the sting Of this German desire to
have a hand in everything.
But if any one still doubts that the
German purpose was to rule at all
costs let him consider the Empires
record in army and navy building, and
it's attitude toward the reduction of
ornaments. From the days of Bis
marck, every interest was subordina-
ted to the ends of military efficiency.
AS late as 1913 the army-although
already much the largest in western
Europeans increased at a stroke by
100000 men. Beginning in 1898, gi-
gantic navy was built up, with a view
so men in high position freely said
to Germany's future control of the
seas.
Furthermore, the Kaiser's govern
ment persistently blocked all propos-
ais for a reduction of ornaments. In
ternational conferences were held at
the Hague in 1899 and 1907 to discuss
this subject. But Germany both
times prevented action. Her delegates
at the fist conference declared that
big ornaments are mot burden but
a privilege; and shortly before the
second the Kaiser told King Edward
VII of England that he would go to
war rather than allow disarmament
to be discussed English proposals in
1912 and in 1913 that the two powers
take a holiday" from bodybuilding
for one year met no response.
Here is a striking fact. In the
spring of 1914 representatives of Great
Britain and Germany signed treaty
settling all territorial disputes be-
tween the two nations on terms so
favorable to Germany that a leading
German impeTialist writer, Rohrbach,
was moved to pronounce the treaty
astonishing" and TO add that it met
every reasonable demand. Yet Ger
many was not satisfied, and within
six months had dragged Europe into
war.
She knew, as all the world now
knows, that the International arrange
ments at which she was aiming were
of such a character that no nation
could be made to accept them until
brought to its knees by force.
Macmillan Harden, the most fear
less of German editors, knew whereof
he spoke when he wrote, in Deem
Der, 1914: Not as weak-willed blum
derers have we undertaken the fearful
risk of this war. We wanted it,
