tery-a cool display Of nerve, to say
the least.
Far from being recognized bel
ligerent at war with us. the Bolshe-
vik element is an organization OF
wild-eyed visionaries, ignorant, and
led by German-paid assassins sent of
in an orgy of murder and violence
against their own brothers, to wreck
Russia-and the plot succeeded
thanks to William Hohenzollern.
These German-controlled degenerates
have spread a reign Of terror through
Russia compared to which the French
revolution was a mild affair.
The better class Of Russians, ter
ror-stricken and at the mercy Of the
Bolsheviki, are now calling upon the
allies for help, and at the same time
the Bolsheviki have presented their
armistice proposition to Wilson. II
is the enlightened people Of Russia
that will receive aid-not the mur'
derers.
As surely as Germany. the arch
conspirator, is facing her day OF ret
ribution, so surely win these Willing
tools who at her instigation are tear
ing their country to pieces meet thei
Just desert.

result:
A devastated country; cities turn

food Of all kinds destroyed until fam

These are few of the atrocities
committed by the Boche, and as
final vicious thrust they gassed ZOO
women and children after the armis

preparation to at most 70 per cent
of those of last year, or, when buying
bread, should purchase mixed cereal
breads from the bakers.
Potato and Cereal Substitutes
To provide sufficient cereal food
homes, public eating places, dealers
and manufacturers should substitute
potatoes; vegetables, corn barley, oats
and ricesprpducts, and the mixed Ger:
cal bread and other products of the
bakers which contains an admixture
of other cereals.
In order that consumption may be
restricted to this extent, Mondays AMI
Wednesdays should be observed as
wheatless days each week, and one
meal each day should be observed as
a wheatless meal
In both homes and public eating
places, in order to reduce the con-
sumption Of beef, pork and sheep pro-
ducts, Tuesday should be observed as
meatless day in each week, one meat
less meal should be observed in each
day; while, in addition, Saturday in
each week should further be observed
as a day upon which there should be
no consumption of pork products.
A continued economy in the use of
sugar will be necessary until later in
the year.
Avoidance Of Waste
1t is imperative that all waste and
unnecessary consumption of all sorts
of food stuffs should be rigidly elimi-
mated.

strength of our own people Is vitally

necessary at this time, and there
should be no dangerous restriction Of
the food supply; but the elimination Of
every sort of waste and the substitu-
ton Of other commodities of which
we are more abundant supplied for
those which we need to save, will in
mo way impair the strength Of our
people and will enable us to meet one
of the most pressing obligations Of
the war;
l, therefor, in the national interest,
take the liberty of calling upon every
loyal American to take fully to heart
the suggestions which are being circu-
lated by the food administration and
of begging that they be followed

power to the war, the partial failure
of harvests and the elimination Of the
more distant markets for foodstuffs
through the destruction of shipping
places the burden of their subsistence
very largely on our shoulders.
The food administration has formu-
lated suggestions which, if followed
will enable us to meet this great re-
Fsponsibility without any real inconven-
ience on our part.
Thirty Per Cent Wheat Reduction
In order that we may reduce our
consumption Of wheat and wheat pro-
ducts by thirty per cent-a reduction
imperatively necessary to provide the
supply for overseas-wholesale job
bers and retailers should purchase

seventy per cent of the amounts used

Why the Reserve is Needed
Because millions of Americans must
engage in industries essential to war
or our country cannot win.
Because, to get men promptly when
needed, the government must know
in advance who are available and
where they are; must have a great
volunteer reserve of men who stand
ready to work, for good wages and un-
der reasonable conditions. in the in
dustries essential to war.

The following article from an ex-
change is worth careful consideration:
Woodrow Wilson was elected by the
people Of the United States as presi-
dent, and by the constitution of the
United States, during the time of war,
becomes the active commander-in-
chief of the army and navy Of the
United States.
He is the supreme power of our
|country in the conflict of this war and
1t is treason in the army or in the
navy to criticise the presidents con-
|duct of the war and would not be
Federated for an instant in the army or
in the navy of the United States, but,
unfortunately, it remains for the CIV
ilian and the politician and for the idle
and irresponsible and for the pro-Ger-
man to run riot throughout the coun-
try with criticisms and complaints
that would be answered by a court
martial and a firing squad If made
either in the army or in the navy.
Let the people remember that their
country is at war; that the future of
the entire human race depends upon
the success or failure of this war; that
the freedom of the world is involved:
that the liberties of all mankind are
threatened and that the only way this
war will be won is through the univer-
sal loyalty and patriotism and support
of the American people.
/ All criticism, all suspicious, all
doubts as to the conduct of this war
or as to the efficiency and intelligence
of those in power who are conducting
the war might well be stamped with
that most odious of all phrases made
in Germany" for it, beyond any ques-
tion, is part of the most subtle and
dangerous German propaganda.
1t is time right now to look this
question squarely in the face and for
each citizen to answer to himself
Are you taking any part in the DIS
in the repetition or in the
retailing of this made in Germany

duct of the war;"
