The chances are many Americans are puzzled every time ood Control- ler Hoover issues a statement urging us to cut out all waste. People are apt to think with the bountiful crops this year we should have an ance. 3ut—one of the vital needs of the time is that America should provision France and England. Even in normal times England does not raise enough food to feed herself. And these are far from normal times. “And a large part of the food growing country of France has ‘been temporarily taken) away. : i France and England need food and we should furnish We can, if we will use our supplies here at home with reasonable prudence. Why is it our imperative duty to help feed our allies? Because our allies are holding the lines in France and Flanders while we make ready to take up the fight for civilization and for liberty. Only by their work, can we have the necessary time to prepare. battle for America. We are giving them.all the money they necd to supply their armies. We must now give them food to feed both the armies and the folk back home. The Germans and the Austrians are rapidly approaching empty stomachs. We simply can't afford to let the Eng- lish and French have any starvation probléms on their hands.

When the day of reckoning comes for the kaiser and his advisers, not the least of the sins charged up against them will be the woe they have permitted to come to thousands, even millions, of Christian men, wom- en and children in the Bible lands. It will not do for the Prussians to seek to evade their blood-guilt by saying they are not responsible for what the Moslem Turks do. The ter- rible records, smeared with the blood, | of the innocents, cannot de explained away. Before the war there were millions of Armenian and Syrian Christians throughout the Turkish pos- sessions in Asia Minor. By their in- dustry, their thrift, they were the worthiest portion .of the population. The instant Turkey was dragooned into the war by the Prussians, a reign of hell unmitigated began. Thousands upon thousands of Chris- tians were massacred. The women and children were driven from their homes and many of the former were sold in the streets for as low as $2! apiece. In one instance the Armenians were | ably defending themselves, when Ger-} man army officers brought up cannon and dislodged the unfortunates.

But their noise was a confession of | ignorance. | In time of peace prepare for war is; an old saying. The president is also convinced that in time of war we must} prepare for peace. It simply means the president is wary, alert, on the job. Past peace congresses often caused ; Moré misery than the wars they end- led. The seeds of the present world j war were laid in the cowardice of | the Berlin congtess, when the Balkan question was side-stepped. President ‘ Wilson, with characteristic prudence, ing to take time by the forelock, so when this war ends it will end properly. This means that not only will the allies, fighting for democracy, win on the battlefield, but that they will be prepared, so that they will not be euchered, cheated, tricked and hoodwinked by slick, lying, Teuton diplomats in the peace conference. We have a job. We have to help smash the most formidable war machine the world has known. It is going to take time and money. By next spring Uncle Sam will ‘begin to make some of his power felt in France, iBy next fall he bopes to have a big army in the trenches. The real energies of the country will be absorbed in this. Within a year we will be doing our manful part in the work of freeing the world forever from the menace of Prussianism. But in the meantime it will do no harm to prepare the material our dip- lomats will haye to use when the war ends. Colonel House himself pointe out that he will have to gather a mass of historical, political and economic data. Then he added this, which gives the rebuff to all who are spreading peace propaganda: Such a task as this could not even be well begun in less than a year's time.

No high board fence and no barbed wire ‘barricade surround the camp, but despite that only one man has. escaped in three months. The 669 who have not tried to escape say he must have been “verruckt” when he ran away. Secret service men are still seeking him. In a few weeks another thousand sailors will be interned in barracks being erected on the grounds.
