Importance to the cabinets existence.
according to the views expressed by
several Of the morning newspapers.

THE WAR, THE FARM
AND THE FARMER
By Herbert Quick

What the Imperial German govern
ment offered the farmers Of America
in its ruthless submarine warfare was
not the loss of profits, but slavery to
the saber-rattler of Potsdam. He pur-
posed to make us slaves by numbering
the people who took our products to
market. By all the laws of civilized war
fare, commerce under q neutral nag
was free from any hindrsnce except
the legal interference justified by war.
But the Germans not only stopped
merchant vessels, they sank them.
Sank them without warning, without
trace-the most deVilish thing war
has seen since the savages scalped our
ancestors and threw screaming babies
into the flames OF burning cabins.
The German plan OF sinking mer.
chant vessels without trace is based
on the murderer's maxim that
dead men tell no tales" It was exc
cuted by the massacre Of men, wom-
en- and children, who, having COM
mitted themselves to small boats in
the open sea after their ships were
torpedoed, were mercilessly raked
with gunfire, and exterminated to the
last unprotected, unpitied soul! These
are the murders that stain the hands
of the kaiser, his advisers and min
ions. These Outrages were per
petrated on neutral vessels; when all
that civilized warfare gave the Ger
mans a right to do even with the mer-
chant vessel under a hostile flag, was
to stop 1t at sea and make it a prize
Of war.
To kill the civilians ON board, even
under hostile flag, was nothing but
unmitigated murder. And these mur-
ders were committed in order that we
might be enslaved! Having the right
to take the sea with his feet, but be-
ing afraid to do so for fear he might
lose it, and being unable by fair
means to stop the selling of our pro-
ducts to his enemies, the kaiser de-
clared that he would do 1t by the foul
est methods ever resorted to in war.
He declared the sea closed, and that
he would keep it closed, not by war,
but by murder.
To have submitted would have
cost US dear in prosperity; but that
would have been the least of our
loss.
We should have had to grovel before
the German government.

AMERICAN ARMY RIFLE
SUPERIOR TO THAT USED

BY GERMAN TROOPS
American troops are armed
with faster firing and more ac-
curate rifle than used by the Ger
mans, according to our expert de-
signers, manufacturers, and
marksmen, says a statement by
the Bureau of Ordnance. One
military critic and writer claims
the German Mauser does not per-
nit the most skilled user to get
more than so per cent of the fir
ing speed of the modified Enfield
adopted for the United States ser
vice.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported
on three counts: Quicker firing
as a result Of bOlt-handle design
easier and quicker sighting as a
result of sight design, greater ac-
curacy of bullet fight resulting
from bullet design and greater
mechanical accuracy of chamber
and bore.
