The kaiser's Sons Versus the Six
Sons of Presidents.

Cited for conspicuous bravery in
action" enlisted as a private"
"Killed in action" Under such
headings the sons Of American for
mer presidents appear in accounts Of
the great war that has rent the
world. They were of the first to re-
spond to the country's call and have
been conspicuous in it's service. No
safe place in the rear for them!
Theirs not to say ego" but come"
There are six of them, six sons Of
our former presidents, shoulder to
shoulder with the sons Of. you and
me, sharing with them the dangers,
| the tortures,-yea, the. death-of the
| trenches, of No-man's Land, of the
ferocity of the Huns.
And the six sons of the arch-Hun?
| Where are they when danger calls?
They are brilliantly placed lin COM
mand" and then disappear from the
public eye only to reappear at some
safe vantage point or in revolving
| escapade with victims of invaded
countries. Only one of them, the
Crown Prince, has ever been re-
ported in a battle and then hedged
about so that no harm could come to
him.
For all his dashing about the Kai-
ser himself has stayed far from the
danger zone. This self-sty:ed CO.
partner with God takes care to sur
round himself with his legions, his air
planes and every other known de-
vice to protect him from his enemies
whenever he invokes the Divine
protection in the open field.
Just one of the imperial family
have the dispatches said anything
fine about, Duke Ernest August of
Brunswick who married the Kaiser's
only daughter. He is reported to
have commanded some troops on the
Russian front and gone insane over
the horrors he saw there.
Bacchanalian feasts for the Hun
princes while the men suffer and die
in the trenches.
Voluntary assumption of peril and
sacrifice for Americas FIRST sons"
No honorary positions for them but
hard and dangerous service.
Shall it be the rule of the Hun or
the reign of democracy?
Verify he who loseth his life shall
fnl it.

Poultry Raising Under Such Condi-
tons While Profitable, Requires
More Attention Than Where Greater
Space is Available.
ton is given to supplying green feed
regularly and abundantly. Heavy egg
production is not desired. The object
is to have the birds in perfect physi-
cal condition and at the height of Vi
tality, that they may more surely
transmit these qualities to their off
spring.
The greatest difficulty in backyard
breeding is rearing the young birds to
secure their best development. AS
growing birds are more susceptible to
adverse conditions than mature birds,
and birds in close confinement are less
rugged than those at liberty, the back
yard breeder must give the most scru-
pulous attention to every detail of the
care of his young chickens. Short
comings which might have no bad con-
sequences with the adult birds. or
with young chickens under more favor
able conditions, may have very serious
Ill effects upon his young stock. How
ever, by looking properly after all
their wants and taking care not to
Overcrowd them in any way, fine speci-
mems may be grown in yards where
the space allowance is not more than
20 to 80 square feet per bird.

Howitzer costs $4,000 complete, S10,-
900 for the gun and $4,000 for the
mount. If our sailor boys are to ac-
complish the thing for which they left
home and friends they must be sup
piled with these guns and plenty Of

(From Committee on Public Information

in a report received from an American
Red Cross worker who has been look

has seen every variety Of winged and
four-footed live stock. There they
stand, stupefied by the noise and con-
fusion of the arrival, utterly unable to
move, while maybe their train is about
to depart.
However, we are there, looking
for just such as they. The willing
soldiers who are assigned to help the
Red Cross take their difficult bundles,
the huge sacks and a few of the ba-
bies. We take the eldest child, leading

here), until we arrive at the train de-
sired, hidden away behind all these
obstacles, absolutely unattainable if
not for our intervention.
'The train is damned. They always
are. Everyone on board cries to us
there is not another inch of room. We
pay no attention to them. Our latest
