BALANCING The u.eoAr ACCOUNT

The German submarine raid in our coast waters has
resulted far the sinking of about ships For
that oense Germany has already begun pay and pay
in kind
The first direct step toward evening the score was
taken by Peru That country had broken diplomatic re-
laons with Germany last fall but had taken further
steps toward belligerency Upon receiving of the
German raid. the Peruvian government Immediately
grasped the fact that Uboat operations this side
the Atlantic constituted dirty threat the whole Wes-
tern Hemisphere and that il incumbent Latin
America take measures combat Peru therefore
seized all the German ships her ports, six number
three of them passenger ships admirably adapted
transports for troops This will be the
disposal of the Allies.
There some IS German ships informed in Chile
and dozens in other South and Central American
ports Some of neutral neghbors need little urging
to follow Perus example. The present score may
be evened up If Germany continues carrying her
Schrecklichket into American waters. il will
than evened All this. without reckoning the
loss Of Uboats and all the direct and indirect .ntens
cation of against Germany, invited by th-s
particular piece of insolence.

SAcRIFlCES2

People who are moaning and crashing their teeth in
this country because Of the so jump in the
lake. 1t is positively sickening some people
think out loud about the sacrifices they making.
AS matter of fact the way people are fattening
their Pocketbooks result OF the are taking
their pleasures usual one would never think the
country for a moment.
Let take copy Of the Vienna Arbeterzeitung and
translate editorial for you. II says:
A workmans wife whose husband is at the front
and who has TO provide for four children was sup
piled az the horsehesh depot with rotten meat. The
submitted L and found to be in a de-
composed condition and utterly unfit for food
The sales department declined TO take back the
meat, the woman being referred 10 the food
bureau where. after delay three hours, the in
timation made that no food could be exchanged
in any circumstances
This is scandalous 1t is not enough that poor
people obliged 10 buy horsehesh at exorbitant
prices, but when the meat owing to neglect has
become unfit for consumption the officials will
neither exchange it return the money paid for
Yet the working classes are constantly ordered
TO hold out by those who have money enough or
sufficient influence command food supply that
keeps body and soul together.
And yet over here think making sacrifices
and have the unmitigated gall to say so.

BAKERS SHOULD ADVERTISE.

Bakers who have been using space in newspapers or
other of publicity should discontinue
regular advertising campaigns this time. Well di.

Bakers should forget that good advertising
