u. 5. Warned Against
Defense Philosophy
By 0. P. N. Aide
Dr.. Elliott of Harvard
Tells District Bankers
Nation Must Strike Hard

The Nation must be careful not
to build up defensive "Maginot"
philosophy in the conduct of the
war, DR.. william Y. Elliott, Harvard
University professor now serving
with o. P. NJ. warned last night in
a talk before the midwinter meeting
OF the District of Columbia Bankers
Association.
The meeting was held at the Co.
lumbia Country Club and some $50
bank of1lcials we're present to hear
DR.. Elliott discuss the war situation.
He said he hoped the word defense"
would disappear from our yocab-
ulary.
1T smacks Of the Maginot Line
and the Magionet ocean psychology.
There is a strong suspicion that it
may have penetrated into circles
that thought only of long-range ac-
ton from Hawaii.
Must Strike Vital Points.
To-day it must appear to every
thinking man not only that offense
is the best defense. but that from
now on our thinking must be in
terms of striking at the critical
points where this war will be set
tied, regardless of the COSTS"
He said that the people of the
country must prepare themselves to
accept the Humiliation" of token
bombings if it became necessary to
strip our coast defenSes in order to
send fighting equipment to areas
where 1t will do the most good.
DR.. Elliott warned that if our
citizens allowed war excitement or
bombings to take their minds off
the vital work connected with pro-
duction they would be doing the
country disservice. The panic and
disruption caused by bombing raid
might do more damage than the
explosives, he said.
Sees Postwar Dangers.
In shaping our war effort. he
stated, the country's leaders must
think Of the reconstruction period
which will follow the war.
Unless this Nation takes meas
ures of the greatest sacrifice to con-
troll imitation during the war We may
we'll face a condition like that which
destroyed the middle classes of Eu-
rope and led to Fascist reactions
and the disasters which have over
whelmed a very considerable part
of our civilization"
He urged that this country put
forth its greatest effort. with the
thought in mind that. while Ger
many and Japan have been under
severe strain for many years, We
''are just beginning to let out"

asked Mrs. Ed Armstrong of Oak
Lake, Mrs. Edwin Johnson of Du-
quette, and Mrs. j. D. Slower of Nick
erson, to call meetings to organize
the different groups. Will everyone
cooperate by getting in touch with
these ladies to find out when and

be held?
There will be a meeting in the

BY Mrs. Chas. Krantz
Pine County Farmer Fieldwoman.

Now we are engaged in another
great war. There can be only one
outcome. Achievement of victory will
throw upon every man, woman and
child in America new sacrifices, toll,
and sorrow. Agriculture must feed
10 million more people than in 1910,
according to Secretary of Agriculture
Claude R. Wickard. Because the in
dustry has lost 100000 persons since
1899, the individual burden that must
be assumed will be very large.
AS an American farmer this year
you, an individual, have So hungry
mouths to. feed-21 of them those of
your family and your countrymen,
AZ those of your allies who in the
past have been so wrapped up in
fighting your battles that their own
crops, their own stock have gone by
the board.
Successful Farming.

Cheese.

There are over 400 varieties of
domestic and foreign cheese. Only
experts are familiar with all of them.
Swiss cheese is one of the most
difficult of all cheeses to make. Ger
tain bacteria are instrumental in
forming the "eyes" in Swiss cheese
and in developing the characteristic
flavor.
Cheese consumption in the United
States in 1899 totaled ITO million
pounds. This was 36 per cent more
than in 1890
The vitamin A content of different
types of cheese varies considerably.
In recent study it was found that
Roquefort was the highest, followed
in order by Pimiento cream, Camem-
bert, Danish blue, Liederkranz, Edam.
More than half of the Cheddar
cheese produced in the United States
is made in Wisconsin. The state
which ranks next highest is Illinois,
which produces about one-tenth as
much as Wisconsin.

American people on innumerable
games of chance where the odds are
heavily against the spender. I would
divert these huge sums to useful
purpose where every participant
would be contributing voluntarily to-
ward the winning of the war. The
bill provides that at the close of the
war the money derived from these
drawings shall be used to increase
Federal aid for old age pensions,
which it is estimated will give each
person now or hereafter eligible to
benefits, from $40 to $40 per month
additional. There should not be a
dissenting vote against my plan in
view of the present emergency when
our national existence is at stake and
