Grand old Henry Ford. We say. See what he has
done-turned his whole 10000 employees to making chas-

getting a cent profit out of it. There is patriotism Of
the big kind. No profteering about that. II is the very
opposite, for profteering is the twin brother Of pro-Ger.

The expected confusion from the suppression of the
addresses in our casualty lists from France has taken
place. 1t was not with the more common names like
smith. Brown. Jones or Robinson. either 1t was in the
case OF Donald McRae. whose name is not a usual one
who was reported killed, and Of whom there are at least
three in our ranks-one hailing from Virginia, one from
Michigan and one from Nebraska. Under the new
method of revealing casualties, there was no means OF

Germans Concealing
Loss of Airplanes
BY Associated Press

Paris.-Germans are trying to
conceal their airplane losses and
argument those of the Entente
Allies, according to French officials.
Their last communique on the sub
ject said that 'in December the
enemy aerial forces have lost 119
airplanes' and nine captive balloons.
We have lost in aerial combats 82
airplanes and two captive balloons"
French authorities report that in
December the English brought down
So German machines and the French
Al, making a total of 106 instead of
81, admitted by the Germans. The
French claim of enemy machines
does not include 35 German ma
chimes which were seen to fall. but
the loss of which has not been Off
cially confirmed. The combined
British and French aerial losses dur
ing December were 43 machines in
stead of 1873, claimed by Germany.
OF these British lost 32 and the
French IL.
The German "camouf1age" in the
commuunique is found the words
''in aerial combats." 1t is pointed
out that the Germans forget to in
clude the number of their machines
brought down by anti-aircraft guns
of the Allies, while they claim as
losses all allied machines seen to
fall within their own lines and
many of which are virtually un-
damaged.

Besides signing a pledge signify
ing their willingness to work on the
farms TO the best of their ability,
the boys must pass a mental and
physical examination before they are
accepted.
Members of the recruiting board
think that the city boys will prove
as helpful on the farms as country
boys. Last summer when young
men were recruited from the col
leges for farm work, they proved as
efficient as the country bred boys.
The quota Pennsylvania is asked to
furnish is $4,000 boys and 10000

there was some sentiment expressed

1t is to be non-partisan tribute

invited a number of representative

them in the testimonial.
The committee has many letters

with pledges of support of his cam

HERTLING SEES
NO INCLINATION
TOSTOP CONFLICT
Praises 'Incomparable Army,
Heroic. Leaders, Stead
fast Nation"
By Associated Press

Copenhagen, Monday, March 49,
Germans should not indulge in dis
illusions that a world peace has been
accomplished yet, Count Won Hert-
ling, the imperial chancellor, de-
clared in concluding his speech in
the Reichstag to-day on the peace
treaty with Russia. He added:
There is not the slightest inclina-
ton yet perceptible among the en-
tente states to terminate this terrible
war. We, however, shall not lose
faith. We are prepared and every
thing is ready. Further heavy sacri-
fees may come, but am confident
in our just cause, our incompatible
army, it's heroic leaders and the
steadfast nation. Responsibility for
further. bloodshed will fall on the
heads of those desiring its continu-
ance."
Baron Won Dem Bussche- -Hadden-
hansen, undersecretary for foreign
affairs, explained that Germany had
adopted a sharper and firmer meth
cd in the second phase of the Rus
sian negotiations because it realized
that TrotZky, the BolSheV1k foreign
minister, desired not peace, but to in
stigate Germany to rebellion and
counted on, a revolution in Germany
and Austria-Hungary to help him
veil the fact of Russian defeat.
Our negotiations" the undersec-
retary said, gained the impression
that the Russians expected far more
severe terms after they had forced
us to a fresh appeal to arms and
their protest that they were forced
to accept our terms without sufficient
time for negotiation was a mere at
tempt. to save their own faces.
