NEED BIG HERDS
Europe's Meat Supply Must Come
From America.
Warning Nations Have Depleted Live
Stock at Enormous Rate, Even
Killing Dairy Cattle For Food.

American stock breeders are being
asked to conserve their flocks and
herds in order to meet Europe's tre-
mendous demands for meats during
the war and probably for many years
afterward.
The United States food admins
tratiOn reports that American stock
raisers have shown a disposition to
cooperate with the government in in
creasing the nations supply of live
stock.
Germany today is probably better
supplied with live stock than any 9th
er European nation. When the Ger
man armies made their big advance
into France and then retreated vir-
tually all the cattle in the invaded
territory - approximately 100000
head-were driven behind the German
lines.
But in England-where 100000
acres of pasture lands have been turn
ed into grain tields-the cattle herds
are decreasing rapidly. One of the
reasons apparently is the declining
maximum price scale adopted by the
English as follows: For September,
$17.76 per 100 pounds; October, SIPS ;
November and December, $16.0S; Jan
larry, $1440. The effect of these prices
was to drive beef animals on the mar
ket as soon as possible.
In France the number of cattle as
well as the quality have shown an
enormous decline during the war.
Where France had 14,S07 900 head of
cattle In 1918, she now has only r.
341,900, a decrease of 1855 per cent.
And France is today producing only
one gallon of milk compared to two
and one-half gallons before the war.
Denmark and Holland have been
forced to sacrifice dairy herds for beef
because of the lack of necessary feed.
Close study Of the European meat
situation has convinced the Food Adj
ministration that the future problem
Of America lies largely in the produc-
ton Of meat producing animals and
dairy products rather than in the pro-
duction Of cereals for export when
the war will have ceased.

MAKING MEATLESS
DAYS PERMANENT,

In the meatless menu there Is a fer.
tile field for developing new and nour-
ishing dishes, according to 70. FL. Niles,
writing In the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lleves that the present shortage of
meat and fats will not end with the
coming of peace, but may grow more
acute and continue for five or six
years, thus making 1t worth while to
develop menus of grain, vegetables
and fish on a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods, or may be
served IN very small portions as a fla
voring for other food. In making up
meatless menus this author finds our

Come to Groveton, N. H.

A great many men from various
parts of the Green Mountain State
have already come here to work, in
the pul p and paper plant of the Odell
Manufacturing Company, but there
is room for more,
More than twenty Vermont famiI-
les have moved to Groveton within
the last month. Although the mill
employees went out on a strike last
May, and the strike has never been
declared off,, yet the mill is RUM
ing as usual, many of the former
employees have resumed work, and
enough new ones secured so that
about the same number are employed
as before the strike. But, owing to
the change in hours, the three eight
hour shift system having been in
augurated, more men are needed.
Those who have come here have
found conditions better than repre-
sented; and are contented to stay.
Good positions, at good pay, await
the right men. There are also
chances for several intelligent girls.
On request we will give you the
names of some of the Vermont people
who have come here, and are now
working in the mill. perhaps some of
them from your own town, and you
can write direct to them and see
what they have to say about the
situation.
Write me or come and see me, and

WHY WE ARE AT WAR WITH
GERMANY

The rulers of Germany believe that
they have tho right to prevail over all
other nations. They also believe that
the power of the state is the only OBJ
ject for which its rulers should strug-
gle. Still further, they believe that
moral principles and ideas have no
place in determining the actions of the
state, since the sole duty of the state
is to get power. This is German poll
teal philosophy. American political
philosophy, from the very beginning
of our institutions, has opposed this
theory, and now in this war is fight
and against u.s., For the German the,
DRY necessarily carries with it utter
denial of the claims of moral feeling,
of international right, of human de-
cency and chiva1ry
The German historian, Treitschke,
at whose feet princes and rulers sat,
eagerly absorbing his teachings, de-
voted his life to spreading this Cos
pei of Power. 1t is true, he said
sneeringly, that "stock of inherited
conceptions of integrity and morality
is a necessity for government" (use-
full, that subjects of the state be ODE
dient,) but ''the end all and be all of
a state is Power ''The state is the
sole judge of the morality of its own
actions. It is, in fact, above morality,
or, in other words, what ever is neces-
sary is moral"
From this it follows, in information
al relations, that there is no rule or
guide to conduct except self interest
In. this present war a follower of
Treitschke, one Of the leading COM
mon school educators of Germany,
Kirscheensteiner of Munich, drives
home IN the therory 'fThe great les
son which the German people has
had to learn is to think IN terms of
power. Let no one here say
that small states, too, can have a ma
tional life of their own. True, so
long as the great states around them
allow them to exist. But any day may
see the end of their existence, in spite
/ OF all treaties TO the contrary.

CAPITAL CITY NOTES

Topeka. April 8th.--The big drive
of the Hun over in France is making
the people here hysterical and wild
rumors are floating about the situa-
ton. From Holton came the rumor
that fifty thousand Germans had
landed in New York and at OzawaI<io
glass was found in a loaf of bread.
followed quickly by another loaf
bearing glass From a distant city
comes the tale that chef was borne
away in irons, It is time to keep
your nerves. You need all your vi
tally to face the real facts.
Quietly the population of the pris-
ons has been lowered. Wherever it
was found that man was inclined
to do the right thing he has been sent
to the army. One who was promi-
nent newspaper man and had slipped
on the law. was sent out and into a
uniform. Many a man will be given
a chance to begin life over through
this idea and will be able to fight
for his country.
The government is making a can
vass of the situation as regards NOR
ais. Big factory owners and others
in pOsition to know are asked seven
leadino questions They all have to
do with such subjects as segregation
the attitude of the officials toward
the same. the moral attitude of the
official toward the same, the moral at
titude of the cities the license per
nitted minor crimes 1t NAV be as
sumed from these letters that the
government is drawing the reins
| tightly around the towns close to the
camps.
Segregation of the women of the
underworld has become a set policy
way of doing things it is no longer
necessary to have a long drawn legal
battle. The doctors certificate is
sufficient to send the unfortunate to
| Lansing.
Few have an idea of the extent of
the freight congestion. A big manu-
facturer of Leavenworth stated that
this week there were seven thousand
cars tied up in the Santa Fe yards
at Kansas City. It took three weeks
to get car from the South through
the gateway. All the available pow
er is being used to handle troop
trains and government necessities. Ir
consequence labor for upkeep is al
premium The electric line up the
river from Kansas City is riding
rough and promises to be no better.
F. W. Freeman, who has charge OF
the Liberty Loan driveNf for the First
| Congressional District. points out
that in addition to the loyalty feature
of the loan there is a matter of 10
cal pride to be taken into considera.
ton. To each county that reache:
its quota is to be given a silk flag
should it double the amount assigned
be raised flag with a star added vii
be given by the nation.
A war stamp selling scheme is go
ing that is likely to have good results
Someone has started an endles:
chain by attaching stamp to ten card:
and sending them to ten persons, ask
ing that the person receiving the caro-
do the same thing. If the scheme
could be worked without interruption
Uncle Sam would have all the money
he needs without a Liberty drive

Japan's Mineral Resources

The Bureau of Foreign and Domes-
tic Commerce has felt that its investi-
cation of existing and potential mar
kets for American products in the
Far East should be co-ordinated with
a study of available resources of i'm
portant raw materials in these coun-
tries and problems of distribution.
With resources of the Far East has
been begun by Mr.. J. Morgan Glenn
ents and a study of ports and trans
portation facilities in the Far East is
now being made by Mr.. Paul P.
Whitman.
Mr.. Clements reports that there is
no lack of capital for the working of
the Japanese mines, which are
equipped with the most up-to-date
machinery and are conducted along
the most modern lines. Wages of
mine workers are higher than ever be-
fore, but in comparison with wage
scales prevailing in the United States
and some other countries are still
very low, ranging from 5 cents per
shift for boys and girls to a maxi
mum of $1.00, IN exceptional cases,
for skilled machine miners. The gen
eral rate for miners varies from forty
to fifty cents for an eight hour shift.
The Importance of developing
the mineral and other natural re-
sources of Japan is thoroughly ap-
preciated by those in authority. Fol
example in order to stimulate the
production of iron, law was proHul-
gated on July p, 1917, which among
other provisions permits the expro-
priation of land by iron manufacture
