We have always had a great mar sin of food and never appreciated it's significance. We have wasted food as symbol of our success and progress. A man who could order & meal and only eat part if 1t felt he had gotten little further up the scale than the man who had to eat all he ordered. That is a fundament- al sin in America.

CAL ON COMMUNITY

DALLAS, Texas, Oct. 13.-The obli- gations resting upon the patriotic citi- Zens was never greater than now. It may be assumed that recent events mark the beginning of the end and that We may reasonably hope some time or somehow for a peace with hon or; if the American people do their duty and show that their dollars and their hearts are with the government. Any letup at this time in subscriptions or any possible failure of the pending Liberty loan offered would be a calam- ity.
 The eyes of the world are on Amer ica. We are now undergoing the final and supreme test of whether we de- serve to truly win. This district in the other campaigns has done nobly. It can now less than at any other time during the war afford to do less than its whole duty. To fail to make our quota will be equivalent to desertion of our great president and turning our back on a great cause.
 There are some inducements now to subscriptions that We have not had heretofore while none of us ever doubted that we would win, it was not until our brave American boys were in action and the weight of American arms was felt that certain victory came into sight. Before that it was feared that the contest would be long drawn out, any victory long defended. Now it is in sight if we do our duty and sustain the president again. It is as certain as anything can be that with the declaration of peace the bonds now offered must go to a prem jun from a financial standpoint The advantage is greater than it has ever been from a patriotic standpoint. The call is stronger than ever as a matter of self preservation. The duty is both imminent and supreme.
 I have confidence and faith in the people of this great district under the leadership of Mir. Hoopes. In other campaigns they have demonstrated their willingness to cooperate to the fullest and I know they will not fail now Do not be misled on deceived with the belief that the prospect of peace makes your duty less supreme

Sir Eric Geddes Asks That Ma. ton Hasten Building of Anti-Submarine Boats of All Kinds
CBy Review Leased wire)

NEW YORK. Oct. 14-An appeal from the British government to America to expedite the construction of desuoyers and anti-submarine craft and appliances. was made here tonight by Sir Eric Geddes. first lord of the British admiralty, after he had asserted that the U-boat menace to day is greater than it ever was"
 Speaking at a dinner given by the Pilgrim society, Sir Eric said that within the past few days Vice Ad miral Sir Ludovic Duff of the British navy had discussed the naval situa. ton in all it's bearings with Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson and that complete unity of view" had been reached.
 Tt is with MT. Daniels full con- currence that l now make this state ment. that there is a; .. ger service that can be rendered by the civilians of the United States today charged with that privilege and duty. than to expedite the output of destroyers and anti-submarine craft and appli- ances of every description" sair Eric said
 ''No country within my knowledge responds like America to an appeal. and there is TO greater need today than the need for the utmost naval effort against the great offensive Of the submarine which is now ma terializing and which the Jailed nayies will defeat as they have defeated every other effort of the enemy But that defeat can be assured only if this need is recognized and the wants of the two navies supplied. as I am sure the United States and Great Britain intend they shall be"
 Discussing Germany's submarine menace. Sir Eric said:
 Indeed. it is greater today than it ever was. That is to say. the effort is greater than it ever was I think now We are approaching a point where submarine warfare is again the weak est front of the allies"
 In opening his speech, Sir Eric said that while he must resist the temntation to allude Co the present political situation there were two things which he was convinced had not changed.
 One is our absolute loyalty to those nations who are associated with us.' he said. "and the other is our determination to continue the war and not be diverted from our purpose until we have secured the only peace which could justify all this terrible suffering and destruction which had and is being brought about through the iniquity of our common enemy.
 "On one thing I am clear We must not relax the muscles of our fighting arm nor our war effort in any antici- patton of an early peace. To do 30 would be the surest way to render any discussions which may take place prolonged and less satisfactory"

Quite outside of the formal phrases of a diplomatic document, that was President Wilson's word to the world that he had no thought of stopping the fighting at this stage, the senate cham Der rang with applause of senators as the presidents answer was read a few minutes after it had been an- nounced at the state department. Sen ator Lodge, the presidents chief critic in his course until today, issued a statement expressing his qualification at the presidents decision Opinion throughout Washington was unani- nous in approval.
 Note Is Delivered
 The official text which will convey the presidents decision to the German government and more important, to the German people, was delivered to- day by Secretary Lansing to the charge of the Swiss legation, who has been acting as the intermediary. It was given out publicly by Mir. Lansing at the state department at o'clock this evening.
 One outstanding point which doos not appear in the presidents note-a point on which the world has been asking questions can be answered to- night. When the president declared that thu wrong cone to France when Germany took Alsace-Lorraine, should be righted, he meant that Alssce-Lor- raine should be returned to France.
 Those who contend the presidents decision arranges the situation for something more than unconditional surrender base it on the argument that he has passed the stage where he might have accepted a surrender of the German military and naval forces and left the Hohenzollern autocracy on its throne.
 Must Gust Kaiser
 MT. Wilson, according to this view, has finally informed the German peo- pie that if they want peace they can only attain it by getting rid of the kaiser and his system. An armistice, it is true, might come first and the details of the downfall of the German autocratic government might be ar ranged later But, this is what an armistice would entail:

More fires have been started by the Germans, especially in Thourout and in the neighborhood of Cortemarick, and great clouds of smoke and flame now cover the country for miles.
 The enemy appears to have fought well, particularly during the early stages of the attack and in one in stance Bavarian troops even penetrat- ed the British baTrage and used their machine guns. This situation, however was speedily ended and masses of the enemy troops were killed.
 The battle continues tonight under brilliant moonlight While the main German resistance has been broken. it still is being offered quite heavily here and there along the front, for the enemy realizes the seriousness of another allied victory here. The Ger man flank is steadily being turned and undoubtedly if the allied success continues Lille will fall.
 The British are using masses of ar tillery which, al in recent baNles, is moving with the infantry and has been pounding the boche rear and retreat ing lines steadily all day. Tonight the British artillery fire continues tu- riOusly
