GERMAN PLOT TO
SMUGGLE RUBBER
WAS FOILED

Germany is making every effort to
secure rubber. and its agents in diff
fereat parts OF the world have made
numerous efforts TO smuggle this val
liable article.
Long months spent in cou1teriGg

suspicious cargo. and very little cen

Norwalk Tire & Rubber Company Of
Eorwalk. Conn, tells an interesting
story Of how clever some OF the Ger
man agents are. and how the alert
ness OF an allied patrolling vessel
fooled them.

German agents. in a South Ameri-
can country shipped the honey TO a
neutral country. planning to have it
pass through several hands and final
II land in Germany.
The shipment consisted OF case after

This turned out 10 be pure camou-
1age.
When the cases were opened they
were found 10 be filled with the "a

One of the searching crew in eX

praise, as above stated, in honor and

the origin of the ceremony known as
"The Angelus."

ABOLISH WHEATLESS DAYS.

The buying and use of substitutes
for white flour should be more
strictly and vigorously regulated by
the Government. The people generally
do not observe the rules heretofore
set down by the Food Administra-
ton.
Thousands of families have paid
no attention to the "wheatless days"
What is the remedy? Have the mil
lers sell only war flour by mixing
the wheat flour with substitute at
the mills. This would obviate all diff
iculties. To obtain necessary substi-
tutes is not always possible in the
country stores. Many families not
observing the food regulations be
cause of inability to secure substi-
tutes, would then be able To do So
and compelled to do so, whether they
wished to or not. Not a barrel of
white flour should he sent out by

The War Department proposes to
have an American army Of some 4
million men in France in the early
summer Of 1919.
The war must be brought TO an
end as quickly as possible. 1t appears
now that only force, absolute force,
will accomplish the end desired.
Plans are perfected now to raise and
equip such an army. The men and
money are in sight or soon will be.
This means, rs we all know, larger
crops of grain must be grown in the
United States in order to feed this
great army.
The farmers are planning a larger
acreage this fall. More grain must
be grown next year, and now is the
time to begin preparations. The far
mer who didn't do his hest on his 1918
crops can see now where he "feil
down." and do better in 1883.
The big army must and can be
fed, if the American farmers will
do their best, and they will. The
point is, TO begin in time, and do the
thing.

TO WIN THE WAR LUCKILY.

To win the war quickly is the
motto now. How soon depends en-
tirely upon how soon an army large
enough to turn the trick" can be
landed in France. And this again
depends upon the matter of trans
portation.
Our part Of the job is to assemble
the men and furnish the ships to
take the men over. 1t seems to be
chiefly home job. OF course, cloth
ing, guns, ammunition etc, must be
supplied. And this, too, is home
job.
The men at the head of affairs
in Washington are depending upon
the people to furnish the money,
food and supplies, and they will
scare up the men somewhere.
Now, the sooner we can do the
stunt the sooner the war will be
over, and our boys will be home
again.
1t isn't Il question at all whether
or not we will win, but how soon?
The answer depends upon us at
home. We must Garry on" in Il
hurry. When disagrceablc job
must be done the wisest thing to do
is to tackle Ii with coat off and
sleeves rolled up, and get the job off
out of the way as quickly as possible.
