Almost the whole Armenian nation has beer blotted out because they stood in the way of the kaiser'’s dream of an er pire stretching from Berlin to Bag dad. “We are fighting because no natior has a right to trample upon weake peoples nor wantonly to attack its neighbor states. We are fighting tc make the world not only safe for de mocracy but safe for,huimanity. We are fighting in order ‘that, all nations may ‘have the right to ‘treedom and self-expression. We are ‘fighting ‘tc put down international lawlessness and to win international ‘disarmament, arbitration and lasting peace. Toye} Situation Serious. ‘phe war situation at present. is 3 serious one. Germany has conquered nearly the whole of Belgium, some of the best lands in France, has con- quered’ Serbia, Roumania and “Monte- negra, has put Russia out of the war by her spies and gold and unscrupu- lous intrigue, and has made a terrific drive upon Italy. If she can break through the lines of heroes on the western front, the war may be.carried tg ogr own Atlantic sea board. One of the biggest factors, and perhaps the deciding factor in this war, is the question of food, ‘In. times of Peace Germany pro- duced four-fifths of her own food. sup- plies, while England produced only one-fifth, France one-half Belgium one-tenth and. Italy two-thirds of the amount necessary for their people. ‘The seas. are sown with German sub- marines, and it is easier for Germany to starve our allies and our own sol- diers at the front, than it is for us to starve Germany, Germany may be hungry:but she will not starve. Un- der normal conditioris; before the war, the allied nations were compelled to import an average of forty per cent of their food supply. Sitice the war com- Thenced ‘their production of food has Very greatly decreased. The farms of France.are producing barely halt as much. today as they were producing in the year 1913. . “We have an enormous corn crop in this country, the largest that we have ever had. Often the question is asked why we do not send Europe corn, of whicn we have an abundant supply, _ instead of wheat, since we have only Wheat enough for ‘the average con- sumption of our-own people in nor- mal times. The answer to this ques- tion is that-corn meal is not a stable meal; ‘ft will not’stay good more than afew days and will not stand ship- “pttig across the sea. If we were to ship corn we should. have to ship it in the grain and there are no mills on the other side suitable for grinding corn. Even if mills. should be built for this. purpose, there is thé further difficulty that the women of Europe haye neither the knowledge to make corn spread nor the equipment in their ‘kitchens with which to cook it. The women of America, in colonial, days, made-all of their soap and wove the Cloth for the garments of the men, but we have found is this country that it is more economical to have soap. and cloth made in factories and sold over the counter in our stores, Even’ so the women of Europe long ago gave,|; over the baking of bread to the bak: ers for economical reasons, ‘and the: kitchens to bake ‘bread.

In the. early days of the war the French women put up pack. ages of food to send through neutral agencies to their husbands or sons or sweethearts, who were in German prison camps. In the first year of the war these were good sized packages. As the war went on, when the ter- rible grip of hunger took hold upon; the land, these packages grew smaller | and smaller. The women of France| never. complained; they never will complain; they send what they are able to send, that is all. “This idea of the food administra- tion has been called “an adventure in democracy.” ‘The kaiser by the iron | hand of despotism can compel the| people of his empire to eat accordin, to his bidding. In our country we ar appealing to the patriotism of the people to do this. voluntary sacrificial service. Have we public spirit enough to make this possible? Are we worthy of democracy? If we are not able to do voluntarily, out of love for. our country and love for humanity what the kaiser’s subjects are compelled to do by law, then the kaiser’s govern- nient is the better government and |e will survive while ours must perish.” | Following Culbertson’s address, there was shown a reel of pictures sent here by the federal department of informa- tion and showed Gen.
