"GERMAN WAR PRACTICES"
Remarkable Book Tells Just What
the Germans Are.

Some of the blacklist pages in all
history, comprising a. documentary
record of deeds that make one de-
spair of the future of the human
race" are found in book named
German War Practices" which was
recently issued at the government
printing Office by the committee on
public information for free distribu-
ton. It Is edited by Prof. D. c..
Munro, of Princeton, and other schol-
ars.
The dumfounding evidence which
this book presents to the jury of
mankind is drawn mainly from Ger
man and American sources, and in
cludes official proclamations and ut
terances of the responsible heads of
the imperial German government, let
ters and diaries of German soldiers,
quotations from German newspapers
and material drawn from the archives
of the State department which lay
bare the story of inconceivable Ger
man atrocities.
The purpose of the book is to show
that the system of frightfulness, it.
self the greatest atrocity, is the def
mite policy of the German govern
ment, so sinister that German sol
diers have themselves at times re-
volted. Individual acts if wanton
cruelty and barbaric destruction are
cited only to illustrate the operation
of the remorseless system.
The book supplements the Bryce
report which was the first official
survey of the path of horror, ruin
and death left by the German army
on the lands of innocent and defense
less people. The book is supplement
al also to the official reports by the
Belgian commission and the French
foreign minister, and it reveals more
of the damning German philosoph!
as expressed in the German Whit
Book and various official utterances
extenuating revolving crimes on tn
grounds of expediency and the ad
vancement of that ':Kultur" whlcl

That the reign of frightfulness was

In recent review of military
operations the Secretary of War says:
1.-THE various reports of Immediate
peace proposals by the Germans on
seemingly favorable terms should not
for a moment induce US to slacken
our preparations for war. 1t is only
necessary for us to recall that during
the Christmas season last year the
Germans put forth very similar peace
rumors."

ror of the thing itself, that it has

SEWING Machines in Arabia.

The sale of sewing machines in
Arabia has increased since the war
begun, owing in part to the demand
of Red Cross organizations. A recent
shipment of 600 American machines,
according to correspondent; will be
disposed of as follows: One hundred
in Alden, 200 in Abyssinia, 100 in Red
Sea ports and 200 in the Persian Gulf
district. There is also an increased
demand on the part of the natives.
Germany formerly supplied the terri
tory with cheap machines, but the
stocks of these are low, and American
products now lead. FOOt-pOwer sew
ing machines are in growing prefer
ence over the hand-Operated type, but
eiectrically-driven machines cannot be
sold, as there is no general electric
service plant in Alden. Dust and rust
are difficulties experienced in the use
OF the machines in the Arabian eli
mate.

BOY ROBBER LOST HIS NERVE
Youth Reported Alleged Visit of Band
it, But Later Was Induced to Pro-
duce Stolen JeWeIry.

A thrilling story of guns, masks and
robbery, which had stirred country
neighbOrhood by its recital, melted into
the make-believe of a yellO-back novel,
once Investigators were on the job,
says the Indianapolis News. A talk
between two persons, which is said
to have occurred behind Il farmers
barn, led to the recovery of loot in
the form of jewelry and a confession
from u boy, who reluctantly dragged
from his trousers pocket the remains
of a dollar bill.
Sheriff Coffin was called in by neigh
bOrs after the boy, whose name is
purpOSely withheld, had communicated
TO persons with whom he lived that
a very dark man, wearing a mask over
his face, had visited his home while
he was alone that ne had been threat
ened with a shotgun and, after rifling
the house, had forced the boy to leave
with him. About a mile from the
house, the boy related, the stranger
gave him p cents and told him to
"keep his mouth shut" A duck and a
Belgian hare also were taken, the boy
declared.
When the sheriff arrived there was
a consultation behind the barn, and
when it had been concluded the boy
dug the jewelry out Of the ground,
told his friends that he had sold the
duck at a nearby grocery for some
money; that the Belgian hare escaped
while he was on his way to the gro
Gerry, and that the masked man was
the creation of his own imagination.
"Give him another chance" the sher-
IF told the guardians of the wayward
boy. 'He won't do it again."
The boy nodded confirmation.

MADE-IN GERMANY LIES
CIRCULATED In CANADA

Canada is also having trouble with
Made-in-Germany lies calculated to
hinder Canadian food conservation ac-
cOrding to an official statement re-
ceived from the Canadian food con-
troller by the United States food ad-
ministratiOn.
The stories bothering Canada are
of the same general character as those
the United States food administra-
tor recently denounced in this cOun-
try, such as the ridiculous salt and
blueing famine fakes and the report
that the government would seize
housewives stocks of home canned
goods.
The Canadian food controller esti-
mates that when the people listen to
and pass on such stories, each one
has the power of destruction that lies
in a battalion of soldiers.
Stories without even a vestige of
foundation have been scattered broad
cast" said the Canadian statement.
"Nor have they come to life casually.
They have started simultaneously in
different parts of the country and in
each instance have been calculated to
arouse public Indignation.
"They are insidiOus, subtle, persist
ent. Bit by bit they dissipate public
trust, the great essential in the work
of food control.
1T lies with every individual to for.
bear from criticism; to refrain from
passing on the vagrant and harmful
story, and thus the more effectively
to cooperate in work which is going
to mean more than the majority Of
people yet realize"

They find that an engine can easily
be run on alcohol and that it's thermal
efficiency, when so run, is somewhat
higher than with gasoline fuel. How
ever, they also find that alcohol must
be far cheaper by the pound than gasO-
line, and somewhat cheaper by the
quart, if it is to be as economical a
fuel in terms of dollars and cents.
Moreover, an engine will not start

CORN WILL WIN
DEMOCRACTiSW WAR
Americas Greatest Cereal Crop
Is Now Moving to
Market.
MAINSTAY IN NATIONS CRISIS.
Surplus Wheat of the United States
Has Been Sent to Famine Threat
ened Europe.

Americas great corn crop, exceed
ing 3OOO,O00,0OO bushels, will save the
worlds foOd situation, officials of the
United States food administration be-
lieve.
Corn is the nations best food cereal,
housewives are beginning to realize.
1t contains all the elements needed to
keep the body in a state of health and
when used according to the scores of
tried recipes especially when COM
bined with an added portion of oil or
fat, will sustain life Indefinitely. In
dian warriors in colonial days lived on
parched corn alone for many days ut
time, and at Valley Forge parched
corn was at times the sole ration of
the Continental soldiers.
Owing to transportation difficulties
caused by the war the corn crop moved
more slowly to market this year than
ever before Now, however, the cereal
is reaching the millers and consumers.
In the meantime the nations surplus
wheat has been sent to Europe.
Today there are approximately 80
bushels of corn for every American.
This quantity is greater by five bush
els than in former years.
Corn has become the nations main
stay in the crisis of war.
Just as this cereal saved the rirst
American cOlOnists from famine on
many occasions, just as it served as
staple food during the War of the Rev
Olution and during the Civil War, King
Corn has again come to the front in
the nations battle with autOcracy.
Corn meal is finding greatly increas-
ed use in the making of ordinary white
bread. Hundreds of housewives aud
many of the larger bakers are mixing
20 per cent. corn meal with wheat
flour to make leavened bread. This
kind of a mixture is worked and baked
in the same recipes and with the same
methods that apply to straight wheat
bread
Corn bread-using corn meal entire
ly-is gaining a greater popularity
than ever before. Housewives are
coming to realize that every pound OF
wheat saved in America means a pound
of wheat released for shipment to the
nations with which America is asSOci.
ated in the war.
There are a score of corn products
that today possess unusual importance
for Americans. Corn syrup for sweet
ening corn cakes and buckwheat cakes
and for use in the kitchen instead OF
granulated sugar is one of the leading
products made from corn.
Corn oil, excellent for frying ana fol
every other purpose filled by salad OILS
is appearing on the market in large
quantities. 1t comes from the germ o.
the corn.
