A scheme to utilize a part of the
sorghum crop for making sugar
substitute for human food is being
carried out in Douglas County, Nebr
In one community, through the eff
forts of the local county agent, six
farmers cooperated in purchasing 8
small sorghum mill, and secured the
service of an experienced sorghum
.sirup maker. Although the sirup
made at this mill is being sold for
$1.25 to $3.50 a gallon, present in
dications are that the demand can
not be met. Five sorghum mills are
now in operation in the county. Re-
Gently a meeting Of interested men

State Headquarters Says
Peace Has No Effect
On the War Sav-
ings Pledges.
People Asked to Redeem Prom
ises By Christmas-War
Savings Amount Has
Been Spent.

The week beginning Nov. 25
and ending Nov. 80 has bene des-
ignated "War Savings Stamp
Honor Week." Celebrate Thanks
giving and honor the soldiers
who won the war by filling your
War Savings Stamp pledge and
by buying additional War Saw
ings Stamps. Our government
needs the money to feed and
clothe our soldiers and bring
them home.
AS a means of bringing the
War Savings campaign for 1918
to a successful finish by Decem-
ber 81 State Headquarters has
announced that all outstanding
War Savingsg pledges should be
redeemed by Christmas, if pos4
sible. This request has been
made that the six days between
December 25 and 81 may be had
to secure whatever amount is
needed, after the pledges have
been redeemed, to complete the
states full allotment
People who have pledged to
buy War Savings Stamps by De-
cember 81 and who have not al
ready done 80 are urged to aid
the campaign by purchasing
their stamps as soon as possible
and by making a determined ef-
fort to buy them, at the latest,
by Christmas. Their attention
has been called to the fact that
their War Savings pledge is
solemn obligation to the govern
ment and that the government
is Expecting them to make good
their word even though an ar
mistice has been agreed upon
and the war may soon end.
State Headquarters is remind
ing the people of the fact that
the war is virtually over does
not relieve them from redeeming
their War Savings pledges. On
the other hand, the government
took the word of the people as
their bond and has spent the
amount for which they pledged.
Now the government is asking
to raise this amount not only to
pay the debt that has been in
Cured but in appreciation what
has come to America by the
proper spending of it's money.

Suggests Personal I Punish
ment.
To Editor Of the Review.

To Editor Of the Review.
Dear Sir+There must be personal
punishment for the super-criminals
Of this war. They must be brought
before an international Tribunal,
tried for definite violations Of Inter-
national Law (like the ravishing Of
Belgium, the sinking Of the Lusitan-
ia, the bombing Of Red Cross hospi-
tails, the starving and brutalizing of
helpless civilians on land and sea)
and sentenced to personally pay. the
clearly provided penalties for these
crimes, so that posterity may never
forget their wickedness. Napoleon
Bonaparte was personally punished
for his crime. Charles Stuart was
personally punished. Nicholas Ro-
manhoff has been personally punish
ed, And now William Hohenzollern
must be personally punished.
No money indemnities, no terri
torial adjustments, no overthrow of
Prussian autocracy can relieve their
arch-criminal and his guilty advisors
from their personal responsibility
for this war and it's hideous conse-
quences. They must suffer in their
own bodies for their own sins. The
dead would rise from their graves on
the battlefield if these monsters of
cruelty and rapacity escape personal
punishment.
. l believe that an overwhelming
majority of American citizens will
cry not in horror against any peace
that does not provide adequate per-
sonal punishment for those who de-
liberately by their own acts brought
upon the world the greatest misery
mankind has ever known.
Very truly yours,
CLEVELAND MOFFETT.

Governor Pleasant has issued
the following proclamation for
Thanksgiving Day:
Governors Proclamation.
Victory in a righteous cause
of worldwide proportions is the
greatest of all achievements, but
it is not accomplished by the eff
forts of man alone. The hand of
God guides the essential ad-
vances of the world. In this
Thanksgiving month Liberty has
been given its greatest impetus
since the beginning Of time. It
has routed tyranny and autoc-
racy in their greatest strong
holds. To us, the champions of
liberty, God has been kind and
good. Our principles, blessed by
His approving smile, are fast
conquering the world. We have
cause. therefore, to rejoice and
give thanks to Almighty God for
the crowning events Of the year.
There is a sun that is rising to
it's zenith and will never set; it
is the sublime light of a Chris
tian democracy which will shine
everywhere in a full resplendent
glory forever.
Let all Louisianians, there
fore, assemble in their respect

God of Israel and America and

Report. from Berlin Say.
Llandovery Castle Hit
British Mine.

Amsterdam, July 3..The sinking Of
the British hospital ship Llandovery
Castle. announced by the British ad-
miralty to have been sent to the bot
tom by an enemy submarine OF the
Irish coast on June 81, with the prob
able loss Of more than 200 lives, was
due to her striking British mine, in
all probability, says semi-offlcial
note from Berlin received here today.
Like all similar assertions Of the
British admiralty" the note reads,
'the assertion in this case that Ger
man submarine was responsible for
the fate Of the .Llandovery Castle. is
also probably incorrect. It appears
from the later news that no one on
board the steamer observed U-boat
or a torpedo. In all probability the
cause Of the loss will be found to be
attributable to British mine."
The British admiralty's accounts of
the sinking of the LlandoverY Castle
stated that after she was tofpedoed,
q submarine appeared, the command
er of which hailed the captains boat,
ordered him on board the U-boat and
questioned him sharply, accusing him
of having eight American aviation
officers on board, which the captain
truthfuliy denied. $50
The captain, two others Of the
ships officers. and Canadian med
ical officer also, were interrogated
and were finally allowed to 20. Sur
vivors reported that the submarine
was afterward heard shelling AN un-
seen target. L
