cERMANY's FUTURE PLANS

If a visitor from another planet
were to inquire why the two armies
are fighting so desperately just be-
yond the Marine, the simplest an
swer would be to point to the mill
tary treaty which Germany has fore
ed on Austria The terms of it have
now been ascertained from credi-
BILE source
What government on the allied
side, after four years of CHASTITY
slaughter, could calmly contemplate
even more complete mobilization OF
men and material in preparation for
future wars?' Repeatedly, in the
Austro- German instrument, this bra
zen note is sounded Indeed the mil
itary alliance. which is Germany's
preliminary bite TO swallowing the
whole of Austria, looks az much to
future wars as to the present
struggle. The compact is for a per-
iod of rs years. 1t makes the Ger
man and Austrian military establish
ments practically identical Their
ornaments are to be uniform so that
supplies can be interchanged. Troops
and officers are to be intermingled
and the cheering prospect of univer'
sal CONSUMPTION under the Prussian
drill sergeant is held out to the ris-
ing generation of Austrian youth.
These clauses are quite as sig
nificant Tor what thew imply as for
what thew express. They mirror the
mind of a professional military class
to whom the world without arma-
ments, without drilling. without the
crushing burdens OF taxes for wars
past and to come, without information
al intrigue and suspicion-a world
without their favorfte game-would
be unthinkable Boston Globe.

YANKEE HoROES

The North German Gazette takes
the traditional German tone in talk
ing of Yankee hordes that are COM
ing to France" 1--WE will wait and
see," says this important German
paper, whether the lightning trained
Yankee will hold his own against the
German lads who have had military
training from their youth" 1t must
be contested that there is a good
deal in the contrast suggested here.
The training of some of our troops
over there has been very much on
the lightning order, whereas the Ger
man is always Ander training. It
makes a difference. Our boys, il
the truth be told, found it so at
Seicheprey. But at Seicheprey, swept
aside for time by the onset of
those highly trained shock troops.
our small Yankee horde" came
back in a sturdy attack that left
in all probability as many German
victims as the Germans themselves
had taken, and restored the ground
to Yankee possession. The great
test is yet to be fought out. The
countrymeu of our troops have no
misgivings as to the eventual result.
Yet any critic would be foolish who
did not acknowledge the military
merit. OF the lifelong German train
ing. It is because Americans do
acknowledge it that they are now,
on every side, favoring the universal
military training of American youth.
to the end that this experience, this
discipline, this keen edged training
may be employed for the defense OF
our liberties and the security of the
world. Quite long enough has the
condition reflected in this menace
uttered by the North German Ga

prepared-gone on, to the worlds
danger and trightfui cost.

lin paper does not mention, but

Germans have taught Europe and
America the advantage OF training

At Camp Grant

Erick c.. R. Wick of Deer Park
died at the Base hospital last Thurs
day and the remains were taken to
his home city for burial Friday, Sgt.
Howard Augustin Of Glenwood City
accompanying them. This is the
first death to occur in Co. d, 341st
Inf, since it's organization. A squad
from Erick's company accompanied
the remains to the depot and per-
formed the usual military honors
for a deceased comrade. Erick had
been i'll for several weeks but the
serious turn for the worse was so
sudden that although his parents
were Immediately summoned they
could not reach here until shortly
after his death. His comrades and
officers of Co. D sent large floral
tribute for the funeral.
The camp is the scene of unusual
activity the past few days, hundreds
of new men arriving, while train
loads of trained soldiers are leaving
for other points. Meanwhile the
other soldiers are being strenuously
drilled in warfare along the lines
used in the gigantic struggle now
in progress over there"
Another unusual feature of camp
life is the presence of municipal
ballot hounds who are here to see
that the soldiers are instructed in
the right way to vote on their home
tickets. The license question APP
pears to be Of most concern.

Red Cross Notes

The Esdaile school has now be-
come a Red Cross School Auxiliary.
The sum of SIG was recently OBJ
tanned at a school entertainment,
which was much more than the
amount required for enrolment.
The teacher is Miss Esther Olson.
Teachers and officers of Red
Cross Branches should note that a
school Auxiliary is entitled to all
the money it raises TO buy material
for the pupils to use in Red Cross
work. The organization of every
school Auxiliary should be reported
at once to w. H. Hunt, chairman of
Chapter School committee.
The RIVER Falls ladies have rails
ed over 5000 with the chain parties
in three weeks. The contagion is
spreading in the surrounding coun-
try districts and there is no know
ing what the ultimate results will
be. Some ladies who find it incon
venient to entertain are sending in
a dollar instead. This help is CRATE
fully received.
The Tuesday club gave semi
public parlor program recently and
took up silver collection of 81 for
the Red Cross.

that all new undertakings not di-

will be discouraged Notwithstanding
they may be of local Importance and

Rules Regarding
Food Explained

Some confusion has arisen with
regard to purchasing rye flour. Rye,
flour is not a substitute for wheat
flour, but it may be purchased with
out purchasing substitute with it.
A little misunderstanding also
seems to have arisen with regard to
selling OF flour to restaurants and
boarding houses. Bakers, including
hotels. restaurants and boarding
houses, who use less than three bar
rels of flour and meal month are
not required to obtain a baking IL
cense. However, such baker may
obtain license and subject himself
to the rules and regulations govern
ing licenses. If he does so, he there
upon shall become entitled to pur-
chase wheat flour to be used in bak-
ing bread and rolls on the basis Of
one pound of substitutes to each
four pounds of wheat flour. If he
does not subject himself to license,
he must purchase, or satisfy the
dealer that he has purchased else
where, one pound of substitutes for
each pound of wheat flour purchas-
ed. Notice carefully that the small
baker therefore must buy flour on
the fifty-fifty basis unless he has
procured license.
The Food Administration has also
announced under date of March Is.
1918, that the purchaser from re-
taller is not entitled to any credit
for wheat flour substitutes bought
elsewhere or at any other time.
Millers are prohibited from grind
ing wheat or rye to be used as feed,
even though the wheat was grown
by the person offering it to be
ground.
Hominy is listed as a substitute.
This does not include canned hom-
my.
The prohibition against the sale
of live or freshly killed poultry does
not apply to broilers weighing 2 lbs.
or less each. On and after May 1st,
1918. hens may be sold as usual.
The margin of profit on flour and
sugar, cash at store, should net ex-
coed the proportions of SOC on bar
rel of flour and Soc on 100 lbs. of
sugar,
Retailers are to continue to sell
sugar to patrons in cities, towns and
villages in lots of not more than 5
lbs. and to farm trade in lots of not
more than 10 lbs. In private homes
consumers should be limited to lbs.
per month to each member of the
household. 1t may be sold to hotels,
boarding houses and restaurants in
% ID. lots provided it is ascertained
that patrons are not purchasing
more than week S supply on basis
of lbs. per capita per month.
