ENDORSING THE UNITED
WAR WORK CAM
PAIGN,

The managers Of the United
War Work Campaign which is tc
open November II have received
., number OF. very gratifying let.
tiers from men who are prominent
in church and business affairs, and
may be considered leaders in re-
ligiOus and financial circles in the
State Of Louisiana. The public
will know how to appreciate such
Communications for any enterprise,
coming from men like these:
DR.. Max Heller, Rabbi Of Tenn
pie Sinai, New Orleans, writes:
"The campaign has my warme st
wishes for success. and will have
my cooperation to the extent Of
my opportunities
From Mr.. Crawford H. Ellis,
vice president Of the United Fruit
Company, comes this tribute:
II thoroughly commend the
employed. 1t will greatly
relieve the situation"
Rev. DR.. Davis Sessums, Bishop
Of Louisiana, givessthe movement
his earnest approval. He says:

our Communion will receive this
united appear with earnest inter

to be charged to the account OF
freedom.
It is a large order-a larger
order than the undertaking to
send ten million tons of broad
stuffs.
In one way it comes to about
the same thing as doubling the
order for bread and sending half
of it in the form Of meat-for
meats and fats are concentrated
from feed. But that is not the
biggest feature of it. It is this !:
When we send grain we use the
entire crop, except enough for
seed and a respectable reserve.
there will be another harvest
next year. But meat is different.
All this meat must be sent-four
times as much as we ever used to
export and q million tons more
than last year-and vet we ought
to have at the end Of the year
locks and herds as large as now
larger if we work it right.
That is where the United States
beats Germany again. Germany
has been going into conquered
country and requisitioning its
neat-not taking the increase but
;aking the whole herd. Never
mind what becomes Of the people.
hey can starve. Never mind
lext year-there were always
more people to be robbed as long
s the army prospered. i

Turks Beat TO Kne es; Drop out

ARBMsTIcE FOLLOWS CRUSH ING DEFEAT OF OTTOMAN
ARMIES LARGELY oFFIc EBED BY GERMANS IN PAL
Esr1NE AND MEsoPoTA MIA AND THE COLLAPSE or
BULGARIA..

Fso inform them tof the conditions
upon which the Allies would agree
ITO stop hostiEties. and could Sign
an armistice on these conditions in
their behalf.
Turkeys definite proposals of
peace followed the defeats sus-
tanned by her armies in Palestine
and Mesopotamia and the collapse
Of Bulgaria, which left her open
to attack on another frontier, and
thus were not unexpected.
Great Britain, whose troops
have taken a major part In the
overthrow of the Ottoman forces,
naturally is most interested, but
it is expected the proposals will
be transmitted to, those Allied ma
tions who are at war with Turkey.
1t is expected, however, the terms
are much on the lines of those
given Bulgaria, which amoanted
to unconditional surrender, leav-
ing territorial questions to the
peace conference.
Some uneasiness is expressed
by the newspapers over a report
that the Allies are prepared to.
make bargain with Turkey by
which she would be left in posses
sion of Armenia in return for al
free passage of the Dardane11es
to enable the Allies to deal with
the German controlled Black sea
fleet.
Turkey entered the war in
November. 1914, when she severed
diplomatic elations with Great |
Britain, France and Russia. She
is the second Of the Central Pow
ers to ask the Allies for an armis-
tiee, Bulgaria having been given
an armistice which led to ,lncon-
ditional surrender barely fonl
weeks ago.

The policy Of freedom is exactly
opposite. The United States must
so manage that it's own people will
be kept in. health and strength ;
the victories Of freedom mean
there are more people to be
nutured and fostered. This large
order the United States ise to FL
and yet be able to supply twice
as many people another year and
still keep it's herds intact.
If this large order was filled
the German way, an edict would
be issued and soldiers would go
about in squads driving away per-
haps one fifth of all the cattle
and hogs, to be paid for in N
scraps Of paper" if at all.
That is not our way. There
will be no requisitioning by the
United States, no swooping down
on communities and driving all
the cattle to the pen, no looting !
of market places Of the people 5

population till their ribs show
through, no slaughter Of dairy
cattle till children's legs and arms
are pipestems.
The United States food army
beats Germany as the allies beat
Germany. The meats and fats
will be supplied by volunteers.
The food will be found by saving.
This vast stock will not be
made up Of cattle and hogs alone.
rhe meats include all kinds that
IAN be sent across the ocean.
Fats include pork and butter and
,ther dairy products and some
oils. The amount Of
ach will be the amount that can
'est be spared.
Nobody knows yet how much
f each will be sent, for the meat
nd dairy harvest is made the year
ound. Somel of the pork that
7ill go is still in the corncrib
waiting to be turned into meat,
ome Of the butter is in the pas

As fast as these meats and fats
re produced, the American peo-
lie will determine how much can

ACRES AND A MULE FOR
VETERANS.

Secretary Lane has proposed
and the President has approved
"a plan for preparing farm
lands for returned soldiers. Var
lous Senators and Representatives
who support the measure, wish to
see Government land provided for
the soldiers of this war as it was
for the veterans ofsthe Civil War.
This is all very gratifying. m The
plan is good one. and deserve
support, but those who are in
authority should remembed that
the struggle for Nebraska was as
dlscouraglng as the struggle for
Richmond and that the retreat
from KANSAS was as bad as the
retreat from Bull Run.
When the Government has pro-
vided the soldier tract of land,
it has merely provided him a bat
tletield. If he is to hold the field.
it must also enable him to secure
machines and equipment. He will
need longterm, low-rate "Vic-
tory Loans," and he will also
need continued Community
Service" and possibly Red Cross
work then as now. >
Secretary Lane evidently real
ICES that providing bare land is
not enough. In his letter TO
Chairman Sherley. of the Com
mite on Appropriations, he ex-
presses his appreciation Of their
'appropriating $2eUOD0 for pre1
liminary study. calls attention 10
the President s approval Of the
recommendation for devoting ST.
0OO,OOO to. the work, and then sub
mlts an outline Of the efforts 9TH
er countries are making along SIM
liar lines. The United Kingdom.
Australia, New Zealand,
and France. are cited. These
countries are not only making
plans to enable soldiers to secure
land on just, reasonable, and
equitable terms, but also for ad-
loans for the improve
nent and cultivation of these
ands.
War has shown once more the
rational Importance of agricu!-
ure. But for such men as "Tur-
Zip" Townsend, England could
lardly have stood the strain of
he Napoleonic wars, and but for
'ur farmers--to whom few in
Iced delighted to do honor five
ears ago-this war would have
cen lost long before our soldiers
egan to fight. War is outdoor
'ork and many soldiers will
robably be loatb ever again to
ccept indoor toll. The Anglo
axon is the greatest pioneer the
,orld ever saw. At vanquishing
jumps, swamps, rocks, and SUBJ
uing wild prairies he has never
cen equalled. However, the re-
lrned veteran of our time should
ot be expected to endure the
ardships Qack. Of credit faclli-
es, medical care. schools, COM
unity life, etc. which those WHO
tally won our West endurde two
nerations ago. All ready-made
ans for ideal rural commune
IS should. of course, be touched
,htly, for they all. like the

sociates will do well to keep in
