America TO Her Sons

against the lust for power that don%
mates the world-despised monarch
who cares neither FOR God nor Man
but for himself alone.
"The words of his mouth were
smoother than butter, bat War was
in his heart" and War he shall have
till the last round of ammunition is
gone or World Peace declared.
Thus / send you, Boy of Mine, to
dangers I know not-but this ]
know:
On land, on sea, or {. The air,
God gG0tcheS DER yoH everywhere.
American Boy, it is not ambition
that makes mo say with pride, this is
my Son. No; it is something better,
higher, holier. 1t Is the same great
love that makes you loyal to your Ma
ton and your Flag.
From the Utmost recess OF your
heart you. are inspired by the love of
your Country, your Home, your Lib
erty, and you win fight for these with
no thought but to win.
For God gaze rs Liberty,
Ind God 10ill giVg VS. Peace"
Hitherto you have been gay and
joyous, Iight-hearted, free-a boy
lightly regarding your precious her
itage of Freedom and Liberty But
when you see them threatened you
are suddenly a man, with all mans
vitality, all a mans resourcefulness.
Talents long dormant now spring to-
your bidding. The fire of Patriotism
burns within your soul. interviewer
with every ligament of your heart is
the American love OF fair play, and
under the Stars and Stripes, . true to
the traditions of your beloved coun-
try you Will march without f1inching
even into the jaws Of Death" Amer
lean Boy, it is our destiny to fight for
freedom. We cannot live to ourselves
alone Each Nation must touch and
bless or curse the Nations about them.
America must be 1 blessing in this
great conflict for Liberty.
American Boy, defender of MY
honor, count on your devotion! You
will not fail me N my hour of need !:
Keep step, march on in the strength
of a righteous cause, shouting our

WHEN IT'S OVER over
THERE"

When it's over, as it will be some
day soon. what will it all mean TO the
boys who won the victory Nobody
can proplaesy anything with certainty
except this: that the war will infu-
ence anG control our national life for
a generation and the men who lead
the nation in peace will be those who
have shown leadership in war.
1t has always been 80, for war is
enc Of the Oldest traits. as it Ia one
of the severest tests of men. War
winnows the chat from the grain, and
after the winnowing the sure instinct
OF the people chooses the men whom,
war hiss revealed.
Let no man think that because the
course Of his peaceful schooling in
factory or college has been interrupted
that his education will suffer. Far
from it, for war is the hardest as il
is the best school for initiative, for
courage, for resolution ard for enter
prise, the characteristics that mark the
men Of commanding genius. no tli-
Flona that any faculty can give means
as much as the citation in dispatches
or the shoulder straps won at the risk
Of life. For war does not nake--it
only discloses. War does not create
lit only educates. War is a rcvealcr.
The naked soul of man revealed by
war in all CT its majesty and power
is often IS much Of a surprise TO the
Individual as to the multitude.
When General Grant was selling
wood in Missouri neither he nor his
friends imagined that he had atern
qualities by which he would win the
war and be made twice the President
of the United States.
1t was his war record that gave
Rutherford B. Hayes the nomination
and afterwards the Presidency. Ard
SO it goes-Gsrfield, Arthur, Harrison,
Mckinley, and every President from
Lincoln to Mckinley, except Cleve-
lard, was a man who had been tried
and tested by war.
In the South no less than the North
was this triSute paid to trial by bat
tie. After Appomattox the Southern
brigadiers ruled the Scuth for gen
Grafton, not because of gratitude, but
because their native and acquired gifts
Of leadership could not be obscurcd or
si6etracked
Here in cur training camps and
Over There" in the trenches are boys
in the uniform of privates who will
be national heroes before peace is
made, Here are young licutenants
whose training will mark them out fer
senator's and governors and Presi-
dents, perchance. Here are thousands
and thousands of men in whose hearts
burn that spark Of the divine fire that
separates the pure gold from the com
mon clay. They may not recognize
in themselves the possession of that
great gift but the light is there all the
same and when shot and shell have
ripped open the dark lantern of COM
monplaco circumstance, or dull sur
roundings, then these lads will shine
forth as the day--and in their light
and leading their fellow citizens will
walk.
All will not come back better, it is
true, but enough men will come back
shining and ennobled to give to this
Nation an impulse and an example
that like that of Washington here

In a half masted lace waist
And pumps
To buy a muff1er

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24-Food shipments from the northern European neutral countries to Germany have been cut 65 to S5 per cent since last year by Americas. food control as dis closed tonight in the first annual re- port of the war trade board. The eff feet has been also to decrease marked ly shipments of other commodities from neutral countries to the enemy.
 The board disclaims any policy of coercion or retaliation in dealings with neutrals and sets forth that it is pro- ceeding on a policy of negotiation and agreement.
 Tn undertaking to supply the food and other vital wants of neutral peo- pies, under carefully considered agree ments,' it is declared, the board has desired to prevent acute suffering in these countries and to prevent them from falling under the economic power of the enemy. With German traders and comforters in neutral countries, however, there is no compromise in- | dicated. but relentless isolation"
 The report tells of embargoes which have been in force for several months | against neutrals and outlines the agreement with Switzerland, under which the Swiss will get food from the | United States in return for assurances that none of it will reach Germany and | that shipments of some of her oWr
 commodities to Germany will be | limited.

FEDERAL A|D ASKED ID DEVELOP MINES
[RepubIican A. p. Leased wIreI

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Immediate further development of Americas min eral resources to save for food and army supplies ship space now used for bringing minerals from abroad is now planned by Secretary Lane, who an- nounced tonight he asked congress for a special appropriation so that large force of metallurgists can be set to work on changes in practice necessary for the use of lower grade manganese ores needed as an alloy for steel.
 "At the present time" said MT. Lane. "every ship that can be spared is badly needed to extend our military opera tions in France. The minerals, which we can supply and which are import ed, come from many distant sources, involving long voyages and delays in loading. These minerals represent an import of about 2.000,000 long tons per year, three- -fourths of which can be eliminated in case of extreme necessity.
 American mines can produce all of these minerals providing they are giv- en the necessary assistance of the federal government Many new man. ganese fmiusss must be developed at once andsIf these mines are to survive after war conditions and become per manent industries, they must be able to operate efficiently and take advan-i tage of the most improved methods.

WAR REVIEW OF THE DAY

The Bolsheviki government in Rus sia, represented by Nikolai Lenine and Leon Trotzky, have acceded to the demands of Germany and announced it's readiness to accept the hard peace terms which Germany has laid down.
 Thus, apparently without further hesitation, the Russians are prepared, in an effort to stop the inroads the Germans now are making into their country, to add to the enemy's already vast holdings more of Russia's most valuable western territory extending from the Gulf of Finland southward to the Black sea, and even to withdraw her troops from Finland and give back to the Turks what has been taken from them in battle.
 At last accounts the German armies in the east were giving no heed to talk of peace but on the contrary, were methodically pushing forward their line over the more than five hundred mile front from the Gulf of Finland region to Volhynia and still nowhere meeting with any systematic attempts to hinder their progress.
 Numerous additional towns have been captured and several. thousand more Russians made prisoner. In ad- dition, nearly 5000 German and Aus trian prisoners of war have been lib- erated by the invaders. Reval, Rus sia's principal port on the Finnish gulf, is rapidly being approached, not withstanding the snow covered roads. The troops here are beIng pushed for ward in forced marches. the desire of the German high command evidently being to capture the port, which would be available, if necessity arises, as a base for operations by a fleet of war vessels against Kronstadt and Petro- grad.
 Meanwhile the internal situation in Russia continues chaotic. So bad hav9 conditions become in Petrograd that a state of siege has been declared by the military authorities. Looting anc other reprehensible deeds will result ir sentences of death, it is announced by the Bolsheviki authorities, and all ex- | plosives must be immediately turned in to the authorities on pain of tht holders being declared outlaws.

ANARCHISTS WILL
 FACE ADDITIONAL
 FEDERAL CHARGES
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Letters indicating that Alexander Berkman and Emma Goldman were co-operat- lng with liar Dyal, the German spy and Indian revolution propagandist before they were sent to prison for violating the draft law, were made public tonight by Attorney General Gregory in answer to radical protests against imprisonment of the anarchist leaders.
 There were two letters, dated Octo- OCT 20 and October 26, 1915. Both urged Berkman to send over to Holland con- rades to help in the movement for a revolution in India. The first asked also for letters of introduction from Emma or yourself to prominent an archists in every country of continental Europe. The committee on public in- formation issued this statement at the request of the attorney general:
 Tn connection with the recent agi- tation among certain radicals protest ing against the imprisonment of Alex ander Berkman and Emma Goldman, ! now serving sentences for conspiracy to interfere with the draft the depart ment of justice today made public two letters. These letters. written to Alex ander Berkman by liar Dyal, show that Alexander Berkman and Emma Gold man were apparently cooperating with German spies in foreigne ecoun- tries.
 These letters were found among the papers seized in the printing office of Mother Earth at the time of the ar- rest of Berkman and Goldman. Har Oval was the founder of the Hindu revolutionary newspaper Ghadr in Sar Francisco, now being conducted by Ram Chandra, who is on trial there for @ conspiracy to set on foot a mili- tary expedition against India. Hal Dyal is now. in Berlin, where he has been since 1914 trying to organize a iindu revolution in close collabora- ton with the German foreign office.
 Tn both letters Dyal explained tha- he had been addressed under his as. sumed name of Irael Aaronson, car, of Madame Nina Kercher, Schevenin- ger. Holland. He promised to make al financial arrangements and said tn, Rotterdam American line would he in structed 10 furnish tickets and accom- modations for as many persons a might desire to join him. There wer many cautions as to secrecy and in hstructions as to the use of the privat @tbt III tdbiluS.
