Order this Book.

We have been asked on several
occasions why we are so bitter a.
gainst Germany. Our answer is,
that we have read quite bit about
that nation aud what it has done.
Ii some of our readers have an j.
dea that we were too severe in our
utterances, we advise them to or
der the book The Crimes of Ger
many, issued by the American
Defense Society Of New York.
The crimes committed in Belgium
France and other countries are
treated individually, where and
when committed, and supported
by the testimony of eye witnesses,
testimony and evidence that would
be accepted in any court.
The evidence shows that unof-
Tending civilians, men, women and
children were butchered by the
thousands; little children were ba
yonetted, and, in several cases,
the German beast after bayonet-
ting an infant in the arms of it's
murdered mother, carried it on
the bayonet thru the streets for
the purpose of terrorizing the po-
pulace; women up to 60 and girls
down to 10 years of age we're ra
Wished, their breasts cut off; wo-
men tied to trees, stripped naked,
ravished in the presence of their
small children and then all brutal
ly murdered; the hands of small
children cut off and otherwise the
children were mutilated; men had
their eyes put out, their nose and
ears cut off, kicked and beaten to
death. One German prisoner had
the hands of u child in his pocket
evidently to take home as trophy
of his valor and bravery.
Just now the German people
are bowling for bread, and for
easier peace terms. They show
no repentance, but brazenly bawl
for bread altho they have robbed
other countries of everything and
have plenty. The women of Ger
many addressed an appeal to Mrs.
Wilson and the women of Ameri-
ca to plead for them and their
these sarhe women of
Germany who rejoiced when the
Lusltania went down; who never
pleaded or asked mercy for the
mutilated, ravished and murdered
womanhood and childhood of Bel
gium, France, Serbia and other
countries invaded by their brutal
husbands, fathers and sons.
When Germany thot it could
win the war, not a voice was rails
ed there for justice, for humanity,
for compassion and mercy for the
poor people of invaded countries,
but everywhere frightfulness and
brutality for the enemy were ad
vocated and commended. Now
when they are licked, and with a
black guilty conscience think the
Allies might treat them as they
treated others, they howl like man
gy coyotes for the mercy they did
not show.
When our boys return from
France, they will also tell us Il few
things about the Hun, and then
let those who were against this
beware. Now, kind read
er, order this book for S1.00 from
the Leslie-Judge Company, New
York, or we will order it for you,
and if after reading it, you think
Germany deserves consideration,
you may just rs we'll qualify as a
pro German.

We blame Germany:

We blame Germany:
For starting this war and a hell
on earth to enslave the world;
For the death of millions of
men, women and children that
died because of that war;
For the misery, suffering, mar
tyrdom, and agony Of millions of
souls as result Of that war;
For setting back civilizations a
thousand years by her brutal and
barbarous deeds and methods in
the war;
For the pestilence aud plague,
hunger and famine that followed
that war.
for the influenza which is TAX
ing its deadly toll in this country
as well as over the face of the
earth.

Private John Scott, who has
been a prisoner in Germany for
30 months spoke in the Opera
house last Saturday and narrated
his suffering while u captive and
his thrilling escape across the bor-
der into Holland. From his
speech we infer that the Germans
have no heart and don't know
what humanity or ercy is.,
Prisoners, both men and women
we're tortured in style worthy Of
the lowest savage race. Old Bel
gian women from 40 to 60 years
were beaten into insensibility and
many beaten to death because
they could not do enough work
for the Germans; men are beaten
to death tortured and bayonneted
in the most brutal manner. There
were some things private Scott
did not care to say before a mixed
audience that happened, but told
it to several men of this town pri
vately. The incident is SO revolt<
ing that we cannot print it as told
in detail: Girls nailed to the floor
violat d and left to die there.
These are the same beasts who are
now bowling for mercy and food.
And yet We find u few ignorant
and foolish sentimentalists who
think we ought to feed Germany.
This is merely one instance and a
suggestion of German brutality,
which can be multiplied a hundred
thousand times. Order the book
Grimes of Germany" and you
will change your mind if you
think Germany deserves some con
sideration.

EAT POTATOES AND
HELP WIN THE WAR
Increased Use Of Irish Potatoes
Urged" Potato Day" Each
Week.

The United States food administra-
tion is planning consistent campaign
to increase the use of Irish potatoes,
states a Washington dispatch. Groc-
ers will be urged to inaugurate "po-
tato day" each week, selecting what
ever day is slack Of deliveries and
making a special price for potatoes
delivered on that day. Housewives
will be asked to buy potatoes, weeks
supply, on each potato day. The ad-
ministration wishes to place the Irish
potato, every day in the year, on ev-
cry table in America.
The food administration declares
that it is necessary right now as war
measure for everybody to eat pota
toes and also to purchase them in
fairly regular quantities week by
week, so that distribution will be equal
everywhere for the next five or six
months, relieving railroad congestion
and enabling growers and distributors
to handle potatoes at the most reason
able prices to encourage production
of larger crops this spring.
The Department Of Agriculture is
/ working to improve potato growing
methods and to increase our crops
The cooperation Of the consumer and
the grocer are needed more now than
ever before. Every American family
is urged to buy and to eat potatoes
freely through the winter and into the
summer. Hotels and restaurants are
being asked to serve literally
Cooperating with the Department
of Agriculture, the food administra-
tion has taken definite measures to
stabilize the potato industry, both as
to production and as to distribution.
Standard grades and the sytsem of
sale by hundredweight basis are al
ready being introduced.
The potato today is plentiful, cheap
and the best substitute for food staples
we are being asked to save for the
allies, the army and navy 1t furnish
ed nourishment, bulk, and a corrective
alkalinity in the diet.
Germany plants more than twice as
many bushels per acre, and she eats
three times as many potatoes. Ger
many's wise use of potatoes helps her
to hold out against the Allies.
If we are going to win this war we
must fight Germany man for man.
shell for shell, potato for potato. The
food administration declares we raise
too few potatoes on too great an acre
age. II our yield per acre was as
great as Germany's the State of New
York alone, or Michigan, or Wiscon-
son, or Minnesota, might raise all the
potatoes we eat. We eat too few no
tatoes because the quality is not good.
We have speculated in potatoes from
year to year-farmer, jobber, retailer.
everybody. That makes fluctuation in
prices, for which we dearly pay. This
condition however is being changed.

BRITISH SUBJECTS, ATTEN-
TION! YOUR COUNTRY
NEEDS YOU!

To the Editor of The Robesonian:
Judging from the lack of interest
which has, thus far, been shown by
British subjects (between the ages of
18 and AS years. residing in North
Carolina, there seems to be insuffic-
lent information in regard to the ac-
tivities and purposes of the British
and Canadian recruiting mission;
which with the approval and co-opera-
tion of the United States authorities,
was established in this country some
six or eight months ago.
Up to this time the efforts of the
mission have resulted in enlisting and
commissioning for the British and Ca
madam armies total of more than
$4,000 British subjects who resided in
the United States, thus showing that
in some parts of the country great en-
'thuslasm has been aroused among
Great Britain's sons.
One feature of the plans adopted by
the recruiting mission to assist them
in their campaign was to enlist the
cooperation of British consular Off
GERS throughout the United States.
Being the only British consular Off
Ger in North Carolina, have virtually,
though informally, been constituted
Chief British recruiting officer for
this State; and, in spite Of various at
tempts and more or less systematic
efforts, l have thus far succeeded in
sending to the front only one British
subject-Mr VIM. G. Bamber, native
of Indiana, who was residing at Ruth
erfordton, N. C. Recently l have had
application from two other British

b. {. Forbes Tells the Story of the
Red Cross.
The present age is one of gigantic
resources, gigantic opportunities, gi-
gantic organizations; the efforts of
individuals in every field is united and
thereby increased in power. One of
the most striking evidences of this
tendency is found in the work of the
Red Cross, one of the great romances
OF modern times. Florence Nightin-
gale stands out as a single vivid fig
ure, an angel Of mercy; but in this
present war, itself an example of the
lnterdependence of nations, the angels
are IN battalions, and the work of
mercy handles units, not in terms of
the Individual, but Of towns and dis
tr1cts: Almost the whole country is
moblilzed, by money or by labor in the
activity of the Red Cross. B. c..
FORBES, IN Hearst's Magazine for Jan
uary, tells how it was done, in his ar
tlcle entitled, "The Colossus of Mer-
cy. The story is one of achievement
SO great that it reads like fiction-so
great. that it could be nothing less
amazing than truth. He tells how the
most important partner in the firm of
.. T. Morgan thought it over all night.
and then left his business in order to
be Chairman of the War Council of
the American Red Cross. He tells
how the membership was increased in
SIX months from 100000 to 5000 600
and how the sum of $1OO, 900 900. at
