No Hun Spies Allowed
German Ex.Army Officers For
hidden to Act as Military
Instructors

Paris. April u (By the Associated
Press. )-The council of foreign minis
ters today approved the proposed pro-
forestall any effort the Germans
might make to reestablish u military
machine. by utilizing outside forces.
The article prohibits the sending Of
German military instructors to for
cisn countries 1t was referred to the
drafting committee.
It was realized that, however COM
plete might be the restrictions upon
Germany by the limitation Of her
forces and armament. she still had
in her power considerable forces that
might be indirectly employed, as al
ready indicated by the despatch OF
German officers to Russia. It was
pointed out that unless this practice
was checked it would be possible for
Germany to create a practicable force
in Russia.
This menace has become particular
ly significant in view of reports of an
alliance between Germany and Rus
sia.
The ministers also approved TWO
recommendations of the supreme eco
nomic council. The first recommended
that the Germans be required to send
as soon as possible to France technl-
cal experts on food. shipping, raw
materials, trade and communications
with full powers to negotiate and eN-
pedite economic relations between
Germany and the allied and associated
powers.
The second recommendation that
an interallied commission be appoint
ed to coordinate the administration
of economic industrial and food dues-
tions in the occupied regions in order
to bring these civilian functions un-
der single head and at the same
time afford a channel Of communlca-
ton for the military authorities.

Everybody is anxious for the final

Consider the salaried Glass.

American wage earners. as a CLASS,
are going to come out of the war no
richer than when they went into il.
except for the money they saved by
rvesting in Liberty bonds. and War
Savings Stamps. Rents have increas-
I'D against them while the value Of
your farms has grown for YOU.
High prices for farm products have
made a keener demand for farm land.
Has your local preacher made mon
ed by the war? Has the young woman
or the man who has taught Your chill
dren made money from the war? Has
the postman who delivers your
mail made money out Of the war:
lave the clerks or other Salaried peo-
7le you know been benefited by the
!. var as much as you have? They are
expected to do their share in the Vic
tory Liberty Loan.
Doesn't it look as if tho farmers Of
america owe a great deal of their
1919 surplus to the government .ha
has said to them: We'll stand by YOU
through war and peace. Wei: sec
that you pass through the rea!juSt-
ment period in safety Cannot the
american farmer say in return:
you're square. Uncle sam. and to
how Won that we appreciate it and
are thankful for peace, We'll take the
Dad in lending our surplus and our
credit. We honor our occupation and
we will uphold it now when you need
cash to settle for the Victory you gave
u.s."
The farmer should not lose sight Of
the fact that it was money raised III
the early Liberty Loan that made
possible the building Of ships. tl
making of equipment and the feeding
and training Of the armies tna'
brought about peace even before WE
expected it. For it wasn't the fight
ing alone that ended the war. You
know that Germany was not physical
lv whipped, but only morally defeat
ed and forced, through realization Of
what was coming to save herself by
,sking for peace. And that is the
greatest reason why America must
show Germany that it is united ma
ton and that it meant business IN
the war. The way to show this is to
show a united nation in paying the
| bills.
Money from the early loans in
which the farmer did not share
| heavily, found it's way to the farmer
| for cotton and food stuffs. grain and
live stock at high prices. Isn't that
the more evident reason why the
farmer should jump at the last op-
portunity to return the favor to his
government,
Peace must be paid for. Ger
many must know America was in
earnest The government must have
cash to pay the bills to re-educate
the wounded. rehabilitate the soldier
and put America once more on It's
! feet in a prosperous peace. America
needs your moral and financial sup
port. Uncle Sam has assumed 4
i debt with your consent. This debt
will be paid. Lending is the easiest
way to pay it. Increased taxation is
another way Don't force Uncle Sam
TO raise the taxes.
