Eau Claire-At the recent spring
election the voters gave an over

for or against the proposition. The
belief that a decided decrease in the
cost of fuel would follow Inauguration
of such a plant is evidently what gave
the proposition such an overwhelming
victory.

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY

Acting on orders from the German
Government, the officers of German
ships interned in American waters in
flicted such damage upon the vessels
as they deemed certain to keep the
ships out Of service for two years. By
that time they thought the war would
be over.
But American efficiency effected
the necessary repairs in from six to
eight month and at a cost of about
.$273,000; the Germans, however, had
figured the cost Of repairs at $4,000,
900 and the necessary time at two
years.
All these ships, except one that has
been sunk, are now bearing American
commerce on the seas or transporting
American soldiers to Europe. The
Navy department figures that the use
of these ships between the time the
ships were actually repaired and the
time the Germans estimated they
could be repaired will be worth $240,
OOe,0O0 to the Government at the pres
ent rate of tonnage.

FOOD RATION

All the fighting countries are dowr
to day-by-day food ration.
In France the production Of wheat
has decreased eighty million bushels
since the war began. There is cor
esponding decrease in all
tries.
We have exported or have promised
to export before July 150 million bush
els of wheat. To do this consumption
of wheat at home must be cut one
half. We had on hand February l a
little less than 200 million bushels.
The United States and Canada are
compelled to supply food to the other
nations. Australia to Liverpool is
three times as far as from the United
States to Liverpool, and Argentina is
twice as far. Our shortage of ships
demand that we do business on our
shores.
Our net loss from U-Boat action
last year was 5 million tons.
U-Boat warfare will continue at
greater rate than we shall be able to
build new ships. In Septembre or Oc-
tober the net loss may torn to net
gains in shipbuilding, so that by jan
uary l it is anticipated we will be at
the same place in tonnage that we
were at the beginning of 1918.
Frank Vanderlip, the noted banker,
says that the size of the building job
this year is equivalent to condition
wherein all of the American Railways
were wiped off the face of the earth
and we were asked to come in and
build them all this year. 1t will re-
quire all of the labor, material, and
finance forces to keep up.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

All candidates for Justice of the

to try to learn to read, should sub
scribe to the Vindicator. 49, Mont
gomery's Vindicator
Candidates who do not put their
announcements in the county paper
are mere jokes and the people will
treat them as such. - Progress.
Some folks are saying that they
won't plant any potatoes this year
because they don't care to raise them
for 81 bushel. We havn't heard of
any soldiers who are refusing to
fight because they only get 81 day
for it. - Johnson City Staff.
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 fotsdam. He pro-
posed to make US slaves by murder
ing the people who take our products
to market. By all the laws of civil
lied warfare commerce under d neu-
tral flag was free from any hindrance
except the legal interferences iusti-
fed by war; but the Germans not Oh
stopped merchant vessels, but sunk
them. They not only sunk them, but
they sunk them without warning.
They not only sunk them with
warning, but they sunk them 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: for the German plan of sink
ing merchant vessels - without trace
is based on the murderer's maxim
that dead men tell not tales: and
was executed by the massacre of men,
and children, who, having com
mitted themselves to the awful dan
gers of small boats in the open sea
after their ships were torpedoed were
then mercilessly raked with gun fire,
and eXterminated to the last poor un-
protected, unpitied wretch! = Her

PLEASE, MIR. PRESIDENT, TURN
ME LOOSE!
GaffneY Ledger.l

/
Judge Henry c. Hammond has in
his possession a letter written by a
Burke county (Ga.) negro to Pres
idsnt Wilson asking that he he ex-
cused from army 1uty.
The epistle is interesting from sew
eral points Of view. The negro's poor
spelling" is one of the features that
is rather refreshing while his man
ner of expression is just as interest
ing.
The letter to the President was writ
ten after the negro had been examin-
ed and accepted by the exemption
board and his application for exemp-
tion had been denied by the district
board at Macon. Judge Hammond has
the original letter which bears the
White House stamp, showing that it
reached the capital. The Presidents
secretary turned the letter over to
Provost Marshall General Crowder,
who in turn sent it to the Adjutant
General of Georgia, and he sent it to
Sheriff Sam G. Stry, of Burk county.
The Sheriff presented the letter to
Judge Hammond whNe Burke county
court was in session. He thought it
so interesting that he interrupted the
court procedure long enough to read
it aloud. The letter, just as the negro
wrote it, reads as follows:
"Mr. w. Wilson Dear Mister pres
