This is the time in history that the
world will not forget;
The kaiser started war but the same
he will regret.
He said he's rule the universe and be
up next to God,
But he'll soon be on the way to hell
six feet below the sod.
The millions that it's costing and the
joys it takes away
Is not to be considered among the
sacrifices today.
Many men have given their lives
and many more will do the same
Before they'll see the U. S. A. ruled
by that bonehead German Guy.
Nearly all the men now fighting are
men just prime in life,
And they all left as they came away
either mother, sweetheart or wife.
But what would be their future if
they didn't go and fight?
The kaiser would rule the universe

servation of foods. Just as soon as
the materials are at hand the work
will be taken up.
Simply because the quota of sugar
has been increased to four pounds
per person per month and the use OF
wheat -four without substitutes is
now permitted, the people must not
think that the need of conserving
food is over. The need of saving
food is greater than ever. In ad-
dition to the needs of our allies, we
must supply more food to the
neutral countries as their stocks of
food have been depleted. We must
send food to Poland and to the
smaller Austrian states which
joined us in the closing months of
the war. Last year we sent over
about twelve million tons of food.
This year twenty million tons will be
needed. Hence, not an ounce of
food should be wasted; no extrava-
giant use should be permitted; and
every source Of production should be
utilized. Mr.. Hoover requests that
no extra meals be served; that all
social functions at which it is plan
ned to serve foods so arranged as
to have the luncheon or dinner take
the place of regular meal, If pos
sible. The American people, by an
almost purely voluntary effort, have
accomplished a saving in food which
is almost beyond belief, and there is
no doubt as to their ability to do
still more. With confidence the
administration appeals to the people
to save the hungry millions of the
earth.
Only an almost negligible minority
Of the whole people has failed to
observe the food regulations cheer
fully. 1t may be we'll to remind
these that, while the restrictions are
aot so close, the penalties have not
been repealed. Some people object
to saving food to feed Germany 1t
has been ascertained that Germany
will not require much food, their
frantic appeals to the contrary not
, withstanding They will soon be
permitted to send their own ships to
Argentine and other neutral coun-
tries for food, but the distribution
will be under the direction of Mr..
Hoover's overseas organization. The
Turks are well provided with food.
Hungary will be able to take care of
herself. Only small part Of Austria
outside of those portions we now
count as allies must be supplied.
Hence, no-one should fail to conserve
because he thinks the food will go
TO the enemy. This is America S
golden opportunity to show the
world that free people can do a
bigger thing than an autocracy can
accomplish by forced regulations.
America will once more "go over the
| TOP"
