! Fear OF this drive on the Salon1ka
front, where the Teutons, with Bulgars

American military men here have
long secuted the probability Of a big
German drive on the west front this

the war.
Germany has achieved in addition

Already Germany controls the vast

WASHINGTON, March 8.-The big,

final processes in congress today. The

fore both the house and senate.

ZURICH, Switzerland, Feb. IS. (By
mail. )--Hungry Germans fill the city
and Switzerland generally to over
flowing. They are down here to get
a square meal.
Rich Germans are sending their
families to Switzerland, in many
cases for tho duration OF the war.
| Others, not SO rich, but with the
price, are in the habit OF sending
their folks down there periodically
for the food cure Still others, the
middle class, unable to do either,
send their children to Switzerland,
boarding them out among the thrifty
farmers and town dwellers. Through
| out last summer Outing trains each
bringing from 800 to 500 children into
Switzerland, were encouraged by the
German authorities. They said the
children were merely out for picnic
and would return to Germany.
But the picnic season has been
over long time and the children are
still in Switzerland eating the bread
sent from the United States past the
U boats manned by the fathers and
brothers of these children-bread
which is daily costing the lives Of
American men and even women and
children
This is no plea to stop this bread.
The United States must keep on
sending it. Because the Prussian
pirates murder women and children:
is no argument in favor of Americans
numbering babies.
I am setting down these facts mere
ly to show the difference between
swine and human beings. History will
point the same moral.
There is not a vacant chalet, flat

I am able to discover. The Germans
