THE TASK TO WHICH WE MUST
NOW DEDICATE OURsELvss

Germany has ceased to be o land oa
|, civilized human sbeinEs.z II .islmarsiy
q great fighting machine which, like
all other machinery, is without con-
science or morals.
Germany knows no law except the
law Of might. 1t knows no other rea-
son for the existence Of men and wo-
men and children than to serve the
State as represented by its diabolical
militaristic element.
Therefore, Germany slaughters in
cold blood, with no more feeling or
conscience than piece Of machinery
would have in killing man who was
fed into its ruthless NAV.
The machinery has no conscience,
no moral force; but that does not les
sen its terrific power for evil to the
individual who runs contrary to its
appointed plan for grinding or crush
ing or cutting, or for any other work
for which its builders created it. This
is the fighting machine which we now
face.
One year ago we declared war upon
Germany, though Germany had openly
been making war upon us since the
summer of 1914.
One year ago we undertook to do
what we should have been aggressive
ly doing since August, 1914. We plan
ned for a great army, we promised the
Allies great aeroplane feet and
ships without number; but we are on
ly now rounding into shape these
things, which makes us almost crimi-
nally to blame for the fearful losses in
the mighty struggle Of the last ten
days.
Had we done our duty as nation
and as individuals, Germany could
never have reached its present mighty
fighting strength.
Every man who fought prepared
ness, every pacifist who sold his soul
to the devil Of Germany's propaganda,
has resting upon his head the fear
full blood-guiltiness Of the men who
are dying that we and civilization may
live. Through the ages the stain of
blood cannot be washed out. 1t is
here forever.
Our nation failed to be ready, failed
to see its duty, because it preferred
its ease. Let US, therefore, with our
souls quickened by these truths, re-
double, yes, quadruple, our energy in
building war machine which will out
match Germany's in proportion as
honor is better than dishonor, as NOR
atty is better than immortality, as civ
ilization is higher than barbarism and
integrity Of life better than murder
and outrage.
That is our task, and to that issue
we must address ourselves with every
ounce of our strength of body and
soul.
Let US begin the second year by
promptly oversubscribing the Liberty

for was his In recalling the child to
mind there had flashed upon his inner
vision an instantaneous picture of her

He saw again the bending figure. the

surmounted by a little hat. All! it
was that little title hat! The mpression It
he thought. He found that he remem-
bered not only its Yibbons. but the
punches of curiously tinted flowers
hanging down in front. And these
had been the sole trimming of the hat

from the other side of tho window.
The woman was Nine. Duclos. These
flowers had been taken from the

had given him, without any recogni-

word with the proprietor. now busily

will be SO good, respect my confidence

The proprietor nodded and Mr.. Gryce
settled himself again inside to watch
for the rowboats return.
What he learned that night from
this man Jenkins calmed him still fur

on leaving him, that she was going to
seek work at the factory. "A little

Mr., Gryce did as he advised, but of

he could pick her out from those al

averse to doing; It would be too long
and painful an effort for him, and he
could not trust Perry with any such
piece of nice discrimination. How he
missed Sweetwater! How tempted he
was to send for him! 1t was finally
decided that when the hour came for
the departure OF the whole dayshift
he should take his stand where he
could mark each amploye as she filed
out.
A sorry attempt followed. by as
sorry failure! He did not see one

He Remembers.

Just an ordinary woman, lost in q
dream Of some kind while awaiting
her departure on an outgoing train!
or such was Detective Gryce's con-
clusion as he hobbled slowly past
her.
Why should he give her q mo-
ments thought? Yet he did. He no.
ticed her dress and the way she held
her hands, and the fact, not suspect
ed before, that she was not looking
out at the landscape outspread be-
fore her eyes, but down into her lap
at her own hands clasped together
in an unnaturally tight grip. Then
he straightway forgot her in the
thought of that other woman whose
track he was following with such
noor promise of success. Nine. Du-
clos image was in his mind as plain
ly as II she sat before him in place
of this chance passenger. He knew
tire sort of hat she would wear Cor
thought he did). He also knew the
color Of her dress. Had he not been
shown the piece of goods from which
1t had been taken? And had he not
understood her choice, bizarre as 1t
was, and for this very reason, that IL
was bizarre? Being a woman of
subtle mind, she would reason that

office and he had the chance of in-
Producing himself: Newer to authority

temperament and much more self
assertive. He was not impressed by
the detectives years. or even by his
errand. 1t was busy night, very
busy night--new hands in every de-
partmeW. To take him through the
building at present was quite out OF
the question. Perhaps later 1t might
be done, but not now. not now.
With that the night superintendent
bust1ed out. This was not very en-:

window near which he stood. into the
rooms where rows upon rows Of girls
were already at work. Only narrow
court divided him from these girls,
and. as the three stories of which

little difficulty in picking out from
among them the middle-aged woman
who held in her closed and mysteri-
Gus hand the key to that formidable

ing. He was in what was called the
outer office. The inner one. used only
by the president of the concern,
opened on his left. There was no one
in the latter room at present. the
president seldom showing up at night.
Another door led to the platform out

middle of the right -hand partition,

However. certainty on this point

He was In a quandary. He felt con-
WINGED, with a positiveness which SUR
prised him, that in watching the with
drawal of this small boat farther and
was watching the escape of Antoinette
Duclos from his immediate interfer-
ence.
Yet. circumstantial as were the
proofs which had led him to this con-
clusion. he felt that he would gladly
welcome some further corroboration
of those proofs before risking the time
and opportunity he might lose In fol-
lowing the person of two skirts to her
destination on the other side Of the
Hudson. There We're more reasons
than one why he could not afford to
lose one unnecessary minute. An ex-
ira twinge or two of rheumatism
warned him that he was approaching
the point of disablement.
Moreover. Of Mr.. Gryce's secret
fears there was one which loomed
larger than the others and. held an
check. He must have proof of her

Washington later on, but there will
not be much difference until after 80

state food administrator.
\ telegram received from Herbert
Hoover stated that administrators
should take immediate action to cut
down the margin of profit on substi
tutes. as the substitutes are cheaper
in price Mr.. Hoover is dealing with
conditions in the Middle West and
East. Mr. Hebberd says, and condi-
tons in Washington are different.
The telegram from Mr.. Hoover
says:
''At the present price Of corn, bar
ley and oats millers are or should be
offering meals and tlours from these
grains at prices considerably below
wheat -four. In fact. cOrnmeal should
be selling from the mill door at not
less than 25 per cent below wheat
flour, and oatmeal at an even less
ratio. White corn flour or barley
nOur should be selling at not less than
10 to Is per cent below wheat -four.
There is. therefore, absolutely no JUS
tification for present price levels in
these substitutes"
In explaining the situation Mr..
Hebberd made the following state
ment:
"The ratio between substitute prices
and wheat -four prices. referred to in
the wire from Mr.. Hoover. are appar-
emily based on prices prevailing in the
Middle West.
"The ratio of the substitute price
to the wheat flour price in this state
is not so low, first. for the reason that
we have the lowest price on wheat
