What far-reaching results be achieved
through united loyalty in the performance of lit
tie duties is strikingly shown in the official
port on food and fuel saving in February. At
the beginning of that month, it appears, the
food problem of Allies was extremely grave
while our contributions to its relief were far
short of what was needed We we're expected
to ship some eight hundred thousand tons of
cereals and meat month; in reality we
sending less than half that amount
To meet this emergency the Food Admins
tration called upon the American people for
traordinary efforts in wheat and meat saving.
At the same time the Fuel Administration inau-
gurated "heatless Mondays" and other measures
of fuel economy, partly in order that the coal
shortage which was holding carriers in
our North Atlantic ports might be relieved and
partly in order that the serious railroad congestion
might be helped through temporary slackening of
the industrial output
The response to these appeals and orders was
prompt, thoroughgoing, and for the most part
whole-hearted. The food saved in each house
hold seemed little indeed at the time, but the
aggregate result was gigantic. Where shipped
less than eghty-ive thousand tons of cereals to
Europe in the first week of February, shipped
an average of one hundred and forty-seven thou
sand tons during the second and third weeks and ap-
proximatey one hundred and seventy-fve thou
sand tons during the last week. Thus the month
which began with our Allies in grave peril and
with our exports to them dismally short of what
was required, that unpromising month ended
with our cereal shipments fast approaching min
imum goal
This made possible through the work
manly patriotism of those millions of Americans
mainly the country's housewives, who did faith
fully and cheerfulIy what the Government asked
them to do in food economy and conservation.
That is the spirit which will win the the
spirit that despises not the day Of small things
but bends loyalty to the simplest task it is called
upon to perform.

LABOR AND WAR
By DR.. Frank Crane

BY DR.. Frank Crane
No class of people has much at stake in this
war, has much to lose if Germany wins as the
laborers.
The American laborer is not wholly sordid. His
aims are not only material. His goal is a spiritual
one also.
That is, he is not struggling merely for more
wages The sole object of his labor union is not
Just more food and clothes and leisure.
He wants to be respected to be citizen to have
equal rights and privileges with the employers. He
wants to be man, and not thing; human
being, and not commodity; soul, and not chat
tel.
He wants power Justice freedom and all the
other spiritual goods that human beings naturally
desire.
In America under democratic institutions, he is
free to organize and agitate for these ends He has
a hand in moulding his government. His vote Is
as good as the capitalists He is not battened
down in his class, he is free to rise to any height
If he has it in him.
For Germany to conquer, for her to be able to
make peace before her military ambitions per-
manently rendered mpotent, would be to fasten
upon the workman the most odious tyranny.
Capitalism here may be bad but capitalism plus
Prussianism would be infinitely worse.
The German ruling class is today the greatest
menace to the common man. 1t means special priv
ilege carried to its most loathsome degree 1t
means added to whatever evil there may be in CAPT.

brutality and nhumanity Of morbid egotsm and

Samuel Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor did well, therefore, when he is
sued a call to labor to celebrate the week of Lin
coins birthday a nationwide loyalty week.
This is not wilson's war, nor the army's nor
the politicians war; it is the peoples war.
Mr.. Gompers' sentiments are sound:
Let rally the forces Of freedom that they

 But Decline to Make
 Any Comment.

Washington, March 25.--German statements that American troops had taken part in the fighting on the British front had not been confirmed today and officials, including Major General March, chief of staff de- cllned to comment on the report
 Although a detachment of Amer lean engineers was caught in the Ger man attacks in the Cambrat sector several months ago. officers indicated there was nothing here to show that any American troops, other than en- gtneers or special attachments, had been attached to the British forces.
 Official Washington today, includ- ing President Wilson, anXiously scanned British and German state- ments.
 Berlin's announcement that Paris was being bombarded by long range guns was taken here as confirmation of French reports, that rifle shells fell in Paris Saturday and yesterday.
 The range of the new weapon--76 miles-exceeds even the dreams of ordnance experts here, but consider able satisfaction was taken in the Paris accounts of the bombardment inferring that little damage resulted.

 CONGRATULATIONS TO HAIG
Expresses Admiration for Valor of British Troops and Confidence in Victory of Allies. .t

Washington, March 25.-President Wilson today cabled Field Marshal Haig, congratulating him on the British stand against the German of- fensive and predicting final Allied victory.
 The message read:
 May I not express to you my warm admiration of tho splendid steadfasted dness and valor with which your troops have withstood the Ger man onset and the perfect confidence all Americans feel that you will win secure and final victory"
 Members of the Allied mission sald today that, in the nature of tho fight ing. the Germans must be losing at least 100, 900 men a day. They made this deduction from the German plan of massed attack, the numbers they are employing and the strength Of the Allied resistance.
 The Allied losses, it was declared, would be far less than those of the Germans because they are fighting on the defensive.
