KENTUCKIANS WARNED
OF Serious Food Shortage and an Ap.
peal to all Patriotic People to
Conserve IL Made.

We are warned from Washington
there is a serious food crises ahead,
for our own people, unless food pro-
duction is promptly and greatly in
creased. There is already an acute
food crisis in Italy and France. The
dire needs Of their people must be re-
lieved b your Government if they are
to support their brave men in the
trenches. II they fail, we fail; II
their lines are broken, hundreds of
thousands of our boys "over there
will be slaughtered. No starved army,
no starcved nation can fight.
We are assured that the people of
the towns of America can easily raise
enough food, in yards and outlying
lots to release for our hardpressed
Allies all they need. Will we do it?
The answer to that question is IN to
the people of every American town.
up to every citizen in it; up to your
town and you.
There would have been far more
serious shortage in food supplies the
past winter but for the increased
home garden last year. But this year,
they must be multiplied many times

towns, be wasted, when the fate of
our Allies, the fate of our own brave
soldiers and the fate of this nation
depend on their being used to pro-
duoe food? That question, Mr.. Hoov-

people, upon us and you! If the peo-

This Committee, serving under our
able, strenuous and patriotic Food Ad-
ministrator, Mr.. Hoover, is working

more than endeavor to arouse the peo-
pie to the need of the hour. The pa

"PIGS.DOGS- OR LIBERTY BONDS

Do you, Mr.. American Citizen, con-
slider yourself a PIG-DOG or
SWILL-HOUND? Probably not; but
do you realize that there is a nation
of people, trained for war as no peo-
pie ever have been trained for war,
who have ben taught to thing of you
and your as pigs and dogs, fit only
to serve their superior wills?
The forces of that superior nation"
have already slaughtered and enslav-
ed millions of the "PIG-DOG" people
of other countries, - men, yes, and
women and children. These people
were "PIG-DOGS" to that nation, and
therefore not fit to live except in sub
lection to their conquerors.
The brutal rulers of that powerful
country have been able to Stay so far
a few thousand American PIG-DOGS,
and the first of these victims were
American women and children. Otto
H. Kahn, a native of that land and one
of its people; but now free citizen
of America, has said that these peo-
pie, in the past thirty years, have
been MADE MAD by false teaching,
and that the difference now between
the constituencies German outocracy,
and that the difference now between
the German people is "the difference
between the man who, acting under
the influence of poisonous drug,
runs amuck in mad frenzy, and the
unspeakable malefactor who admin
istered that drug, well knowing and
fully intending the CHASTITY conse-
quences which were bound to follow"
The only way we can prove to that
people now running amuck that we
are not PIG-DOGS and deserve PIG
DOG treatment, is to whip this idea
out of their heads through the de-
feat of their rulers. This is the one
way all other peoples who do not be-
long to that nation and government
can make this world safe for any of
US to live in.
That so-called superior nation"
has in three years overrun and ruin
ed the peoples of Belgium, Serbia,
Roumania, Poland, Finland Armenia
and Russia. They use as serfs or
slaves the peoples of Austria, Bull

Europe and Asia can not nav.

Europe and Asia can not pay.
Those "supermen" planned 1t all
years ago, and in their madness they
wrote down and proclaimed what they
would do Those of us who heard
them thought these bOastings were
the foolish rawlings of fe harmless
lunatics rather than the threats of
powerful maniacs armed to the teeth
and prepared to kill.
Is America going to be forced to
pay for all this war as the victim of
the hate of these SUPERMEN? Or are
we going to contribute willingly our
share to free ourselves and the entire
world of this monstrous menace this
evil thing of brute terrorism?
To all Americans,-men, women
and children, not now lover there
the LIBERTY LOAN offers FREE
DOM FOR ALL FOREVER" If
Americans support the Liberty Loan
they will prove two things: that those
mad people can not force their will
on the world, and that we are not
the "PIG-DOGS" they call us. In the
language which that people use,
SCHWEIN-HUNDE is the term they
apply to others not of their race.
There are Belgian SCHWEIN-HUNDE
French SCHWEIN-HUNDE. Italian
SCHWEIN-HUNDE, English PIG
DOGS and AMERICAN PIG-DOGS.
The larger our subscription to the
Liberty Loan lover here" the better it
will be for the men lover there
where the fight is new on; and the
greater the return to us-in earlier
peace and safety The soldier "over
there" offers life and limb. Neither
can be returned to him. We, over
here, offer our dollars and service.
and we are not only guaranteed the
return of our money, but a sure and
steady income besides-the surest in
all the world today. Let each one o.
us make our LIBERTY LOAN as
large as we can. The contract will
be sealed in the blood of American
soldiers-and the larger the sub
scription by all the people the small
er the seal of American blood.
And remember, Mr.. American Citi-
zen, that those mad people, or So
called "SUPERMEN" have not yet
been able to beat anyone but small
peoples, like those of Belgium or Ser
ba, or a great nation distracted by
treason, or by dreamers, like Russia.
For while, these "supermen' were
triumphant over the armies of other
peoples, fitted out in few days
against their own war preparation of
forty years. But If those super-pre-
pared SUPREME. E" could not who'll
ly defeat the half-prepared French,
and the far less than half-prepared
British, and Italians, what will they
do against these peace-loving peoples
when their armies are properly pre-
pared. and when they are supported
by the American soldiers whom we
are now fitting out by means of the
LIBERTY LOANS for the great and
final trial?
Let us unite with our Allies to
prove to those people, misled by the
most monstrous doctrine the world
has ever known. that they are wick
eddy wrong in thinking Of all other
peoples as PIG-HOGS and SWILL-
HOUNDS, fit only for kicks and kill

GERMAN AWARDED WITH A MEDAL FOR
 MILITARY LECTURE

AMSTERDAM, May 23-Professor Haber, head of the Chemical Re search Institute of Berlin, has just been awarded the Bunsen medal for lecture on the Relationship of the. Exact Sciences to Militarism." The medal, it is stated, is no longer made of gold but ''of the best Ger man steel, as is appropriate to the times
 The lecturer argued that the war has established the necessity for the closest cooperation between men of science and military organizers and leaders. He said that this co-opera. tion will be necessary as long as wars remain necessary, and that will be for a long time"
 Describing the development of the use of gas in warfare, Professor Haber said: Gas attacks on both sides grow out of the requirements of the situation. Throughout history, attempts have always been made to smoke out the enemy when a war has become stationary. The reason why the use of gas is disliked by our enemies is that the use of pro tections against gas attacks calls for a special measure of discipline and intelligence in the common sol. dier."
