All rights of republicaticn of special despatches herein are also *Right Is More Precious than Peace” HOW THE PEOPLE RESPONDED. Mr. Hoover in his annual report gives credit to the American peopie for excee the request of the Food Commiszior save wheat by ten mil- lion bushel. The women were asked to save 75 million bushels of wheat by the use of titutes because the wheat crop was sc below age. tasic the people from their own mouths to fee people of the other needy nations, but they met the need patriot- and at the clos= of the year had ten million more Lush- than the Foold Adminis- for. 'r his trenching upon the home loaf enabled America to furpish the en- e nations the material for over six ion loaves of bread; and the sur- plus represented material for 750 mil- lion loaves more. This was a great feat performed by American women t lent great power to the allies in addition to the biilions loaned to carry on war, the million and a quarter of troops landed in France to find the Hinden! g line. 7 The American people are a great people and they have the hammer to strike the final blow in the war for men and free seas. It was no e to take bread sy THE HIGH PRICE OF FISH. We have heard the advice of the food commissioners to eat more fish to conserve meats and fats, and it has made us smile, for fresh fish is not cheap food, and fresh fish is ne of the most difficult things to get twenty miles inland from the coast. Fish at present prices, considering its sustaining qualities, is dearer than meat; and in the interior of the coun- try 2 menace to public health. The profiteers have doubled the price of evervthing the people need to help themselves whatever the effect upon the government, since war was declared. The trusts are taxing the people even worse than the govefnment is; and something should be done to curb them., Ex-Mavor Fitzgerald of Boston thus describes why fish is dear: "It can be readily proven that hoats owned by big fish interests pay for themselves in less than a year—imagine a hun- dred per cent. profit it a food indus- try in a vear. Yet our food authori- ties, permit the pubile to be plun- dered day after day. It is time to call a bhalt.” The responsibility for this extortion- nte price of fish he charges to Banker James J. Pielan and Senator John W. Weeks, who favor big dividends. ONE HUNDRED AND ONE GER- MAN LIES. The comittee on public informa- tion have issued a pamphlet mailing 101 German lies, These lies involve the manhood and honor of our soldiers, the davotion and honesty of our wormen, the integ- rity and dependability of our banks and the value of our institutions. It is not likely that these 101 lies bagin to cover the falsehoods that are being ¢onfidentially whisperad to friends to weaken faith in the Awmeri- can cause in all paris of the sountry; and their only Worth is {0 show the naturé of the propaganda used to weaken a free people. There are doubtless ten thousand whispéred lies arifting about the country; and the two most conteffip- tible are concerning the honsr and honesty of Red Cross women, and the corfupt charactet of Amefican sol: diefs. These two noble clagses of our citi- zens find theif defense in their open upright lives and their brave anhd pa- triotic spirit. The testimony concerning the clean- liness, honesty, loyalty, ¢ourage and resdlution of the workers and fighters for humanity are annihilating to these Hun falsehoods. On Sept. 28th Mr. McAdoo will call for twice ag many bilifons as he did before to be raised in seven days less time. Is this because he hag enisted a million women to spsed up the subseriptions?

Just remove “I can’t” from your mind and substitute there- for “I wijl!” This is the first important step up- on which to found self-denjal. It is not a hardship although it may seem g0, for it eventually reveals to you that it is a blessing. We are going to take six billion worth of Liberty bonds for Unele Sam in three weeks, starting Sept. 28th, and to do this stunt with comfort every American must do his par:, Begin to censor your wants and to marshal your actual needs, and yeu will have room to discover where the surplus for bohds is coming from and how you are going to get the saving habit. “ We are all going to subsgeribe for these bonds. and we are not going to sell them at a discount as too many buyers have already dome. Keep- ing your bond or parting with i dem- onstrates the difference between a welsher of Uncle Som and a patriot. You want to be 3 holder up of the flag, not a trailer of it in the dust.
