GERMANS NEED FAT,
TAKE CHURCH CANDLES

Paris, Oct. 5.-Germany's desper-
ate need for fats was recently shown
when, after desecrating St. Crepin's
church in Chateau-Thierry, the van
dals confiscated 400 pounds of cam
dies. Even the scant supply which
they found in a little chapel of the
nuns at hospital nearby was taken
by the Germans, before they were
driven out of the city by the Ameri-
can troops according TO the Rev.

Lecturers Tour Country.
After America entered the war
the activities OF the Czechoslovaks
were tirelesS. Lecturers were sent
out by the central committee at
Washington through the country to
practically every Czech and Slovak
settlement, to explain the purposes
and ideals for which our country
was fighting, and to form local or
ganization. SO successful was this
work that there now exists over 250
local patriotic societies, with a
paid-up membership OF over l5O,-
900.
Moreover, every organization
formed to maintain the morale Of
our people. such as the State Coun-
ellis OF Defense, has the loyal sup
port of the Czechoslayks. Indeed,
the president OF the Woman's Diyis-
ion of the Nebraska State Council
of Defense is a Czech woman, Miss
Sarka Hrbkoya, OF the University OF
Nebraska.
In financial matters, the Czecho-
soyakS have been liberal. 1t will
surprise most Americans to learn
that the splendid work OF Professor
Thomas G. Masaryk, president of
the Czechoslovak National Council, |
throughout the world, has been
made possible by the enthusiastic
support of his fellow-coun-
-rymen in the United States.
Each OF their local societies has a
Liberty Loan and Red Cross COM
nittee attached to it, and accord
ng to the report OF the Treasury
Department for the Third Loan, the
Czechoslovaks contributed $751;

are indissolubly bound by common
racial ties and common aims and
suffering. They prefer to be spoken
OF as one people, the Czechoslovaks,
and their national aim is for one
united independent state, compris-
ing Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia,
and part OF Silesia. However, those
of them who have become natural
lied Americans have no wish to
leave this country. Unlike some
other immigrant people, the Nzechs
settled here intending to remain,
and few have ever returned to- the
mother country.

in the uprising against it in the

chiefly OF the intellectual class, who

The Slovaks came still later, to-

which they have suffered for years
from their Hungarian masters. The

How They Have Worked Against

and Their War Work Clubs and

and Their War Work Clubs and
Councils.
The Czcchoslovaks have rendered
such magnificent service TO the
cause Of the Allies in Russia and
/ Siberia that the attention of the en-
tire civilized world has been turned
upon them. But their achievements
have not all been on the field OF
battle. We have in America over
100000 Czechslovaks. The story
Of their contributions to the win
ming OF the war is also one great
interest.
Since we entered the war, the
efforts of the Czcchoslovak people in
the United States have been really
notable; both as Americans. to win
the war and as lovers of their ma
tive land, to secure its independence.
But their distrust of Germany and
their industry in behalf of oppressed
peoples date back earlier than Amer
ica's participation in the struggle.
Associations OF various kinds, So
cial, athletic, benefit, etc, had exist
ed among the Czechoslovaks before
the Great War began in 1914. But
in that year all the Czech organiza-
tons were united into the Bohem-
ian National Alliance with head
quarters at Chicago, and all the
Slovak organizations were combined |
TO form the Slovak League which |
had its main offices at Pittsburgh.
The object was two-fold: first, to
work with all their might and main
for the independence OF Bohemia
second, to counteract the
pro-German propaganda in the Unit
cd States.
Attempt to Corrupt Newspapers.
This pro-German agitation tried
its best to make use Of the Czecho-
Sloyaks; particularly their newspa-
pers, Everybody remembers the
vigorous efforts Of German agents
to find expression through the
American press. Attempts were
made to buy up papers or to secure
their favor with advertisements.
This extended also to the Bohemian
Nloyak newspapers. But against all

Headquarters Northeastern Depart ment Boston, Dec. 21.--A movement is afoot, initiated by many citizens of New England, to provide a rallying place and a. place for the removal of old friendships and of overseas com radeships of officers and men who have seen service in the world war at any place or il any capacity. The plan is in it's infancy, but it is hoped and expected that it will develop in such manner as to provide a place of meeting and of recreation and of en- tertainment for soldiers who remain in the service or who have left the service.
 Major General Clarence R. Ed wards, United States army, who com manded the 26th division (the Yan- kee diVision) in all the great battles in which that division participated up to within a few days of the sign ing of the armistice, and who is now in command of the Northeastern de- partment with station at go Chauncy street, Boston, desires to get in touch with all the men in New England who have served in the army since April 6, 1917 General Edwards requests that such men, who now reside, or
 
 England, communicate to him, at the above address, their names, their or ga1lzatiOns and present addresses as soon as may be convenient. It is par ticularly requested that, in the case of any man who has been wounded or gassed in action, that fact be stated, With the place at which the wound or injury was incurred.

PROVED SPIRIT
OF DEMOCRACY
Voluntary Basis of Food Saving
Showed Heart of America
Beat True for Freedom.

To the voluntary service and sacri-
fee of the American people must be
attributed the continued health,
strength and morale of the Allied ar
mics and the civil populace.
Upon this spirit of service and sac
rifice will depend Europe's fate in the
months to come. In the past year we
have carried out an export program,
the magnitude of which is almost be
yond comprehension. But with the
new demands that have come, with
the liberation of nations freed from
German oppression, our exports must
be almost doubled. Instead of 11,S20,-
900 tons, we must ship twenty million
tons of food to Europe in the coming
year-as much as can be pushed
through our ports.
II the Allies had not been fed by
America, it would have been impos
sible for them TO maintain their de
tense against Germany.
Meeting this world need on a purely
voluntary basis, the American people
have conclusively proved that democ
racy is a success ano that in time OF
need it will rise to its own defense.
If there were no other accomplish
ment to it's credit the very fact that II
has shown the strength Of democracy
has in itself more than justified the
existence of the Food Administration
In the eyes of the world.
Less than four months after the
United States declared war the United
States Food Administrator expressed
his determination to meet Americas
food problem on a basis of voluntary
action and reiterated his confidence
that awakened democracy would prove
Irresistible.
MANY thinking Americans" said
Mr.. Hoover, 'and the whole world
have been watchiIe; anxiously the last
four months in the fear that demo
cratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not be
done. Contrary proof is Immediately
at our door, and our people have al
ready demonstrated their ability to
mobilize, organize, endure and prepare
voluntarily and efficiently in many d.
rections and upon the mere word of
Inspiration aside from the remarkable
assemblage Of our Army and finances"
The history of the Food Administra-
ton has clearly shown that the trust
of those who put their faith in democ-
racy has not been misplaced.

KEPT PLEDGE
TO SEND BREAD
American Nation Maintained Al
lied Loaf Through Self
Denial at Home Table.
AvERTED EUROPEAN DESPAIR.
With Military Demands Upon Ocean
Shipping Relieved, World Is Able
to Return to Normal White
Wheat Bread.

Since the advent Of the latest wheat
crop the only limitation upon Ameri-
can exports to Europe has been the
shortage of shipping Between July l
and October 10 We shipped 65,9SO,3O5
bushels. IL this rate should continue
until the end Of the fiscal year we will
have furnished the Allies with more
than 237, 100000 bushels of wheat and
flour in terms Of wheat.
The result of increased production
and conservation efforts In the United
States has been that with the cessa-
ton OF hostilities we are able to re-
turn to a normal wheat diet. Supplies
that have accumulated in Australia,
Argentine and other hitherto inacces-
sible markets may be tapped by ships
released from transport service, and
European demand for American wheat
probably will not exceed our normal
surplus. There is wheat enough avail
able to have a white loaf at the COM
mon table.
Eut last year the tale was different.
Only by the greatest possible saving
and sacrifice were we able to keep
ste;sdy stream Of wheat and -four NOV
ing across the sea- We found our
selves at the beginning of the harvest
Year with an unusually short crop.
Even the most optimistic statisticians
figured that we had bare surplus of
20,oo0OO0 bushels. And yet Europe
was facing the probability of bread
famine-and in Europe bread is by far
the most important article in the diet.
All of this surplus had left the
country early in the fall. By the first
of the year we had managed to ship a
little more than 100000 bushels by
prarticing the utmost economy at
home-by wheatless days, wheatless
meals. heavy substitution. of other
cereals and by sacrifice at almost
every meal throughout the country.
In January the late Lord Rhondda,
then British Food Controller, cabled
that only If we sent an additional 75.-
100000 bushels before July could he
take the responsibility of assuring his
people that they would be fed.
The response of the American peo-
pie was 100000 bushels safely deliv-
cred overseas between January l and
July l. Out Of a harvest which gave
US only 20,0OO,OO0 bushels surplus we
actually shipped 141,OO0000 bushels.
Thus did America fulfill her pledge
that the Allied bread rations could be
maintained. and already the American
people are demonstrating that, with
an awakened war conscience, last
years figures will be bettered.
