"OLD GLORY"
"America For Americans"
! FOOD WINS THE WAR j
| DON'T WASTE IT j
AXSWKKS TO HK1 NIK'S NON
SENSE
By Booth Tarkingtoti.
Lie No. 1.—"This is a capitalists'
war because the capitalists wanted
to keep on making money by manu
facturing and shipping munitions
>ud they forced the Government to
declare war in order to protect the
boats."
Answer. The entrance of the Unit
ed States into tho war took from
he capitalist iiis profits and is
turning them, into labor. Probab
ly there have been a few food "pr\>
fiteers" and the like, hut 'hey are
being dealt with, and the only fin
ancial profit front the war accrue*:
to laboring men.
Lie No. 2.—"This is a capitalists'
war because the capitalists had
bought English bonds and were
afraid the bonds would be worth
less if Germany won."
Answer: Then, since the "muni,
tion capitalists" lose money by the
• ar. and the capitalists who had
bought German bonds would op
pose war. it was a struggle of these
two classes of capitalists for pence,
opposed by those who had bought
Fuglish bonds. The latter were in
comparably in the minority and
could not have won such a strug
gle even if it had taken piace. Of
course it is also necessary to ^
sume that the capitalists who
brought on the war caused the
events which caused the American
eople to declare through their rep
resentatives that they were In a
state of war with Germany. The-.e
even's which the capitalists must
have caused were, namely, the sink
ing cf the "Lusitania" «114 Am
ericans murdered); of the "Arabic'
(3 Americans murdered); of the
"Hesperian" (1 Americau murder
ed); of the "Marina" (S Ameri
cans murdered); of the "Russian"
(17 Americans murdered!; of the
"Laconia" (S Americans murdered);
M the "Vigilacia" (5 Americans
murdered); of the "Aztec" (28 Am
erican? murdered), and of other
sinkings and murders. If this is
•t capitalists' war the capitalists
were in control of the German sub
marines.
L!a Xo. 3.—"America has more
to Tear from England than, from
Germany."
Answer. The English and German
warships in Manila Bay. 1S9S. Zim
merman's note to Mexico. Tha Kai
ser's proposal to England to join
him in attacking the Monroe Itoc
trfne. The Kaiser's regrets that Eu
rope had not encouraged tha South
during the Civil "War and his hopes
that the East and West might yet
be set against each other so that
two weak countries might take the
place of a single strong one. "I |
aball iw uxtuseuse from Am
erica after the war," ho said r»- j
repeatedly to the American, ambassa
dor while America and, Germany |
| were on terms of pcace. Butt the |
final answer to this most stupid of
all lies is tho History of the World
since 1911, and In particular the
record of relations between the
United States and Germany- begin
ning with the Tth of May, 1913.
Lie No. 4.—"Germany wants a
jus*, peace and England is prevent
ing it."
Answer. Ask the ma* who tells
this l;e to state the German terms.
Lio No. 5.—"The Red Cross is a
capitalists' money-making "ooncern^
I' sold a sweater made by the grand-*
mother of a girl who lives oni the
coruer of Washington Street and
Wilbur Avenue."
Answer. That girl hasn't got any
srandmother. Three corner lota at
tin intersection of Washington
street and Wilbur Avenue are va
cant. and tho fourth is occupied by
a sta.j hotel. Find another grand
mot ner. 5 ! 'i.
Lie No. 6.—"If you have a
foo1 conservation card ia your win-1
daw the guv'ment wll com® a.nd
take away all your jellies and
rreserves and everything else you
put up last fall."
Answer. Yes; they're for Mr.
Sockeieller. He's foaid of jel
lies *nd preserves and c&n'tl af
ford to buy any.
L:e No. 7.—"If the allies loet
the war, that wouldn't hurt Ameri
ca any. Germany wouldn't try to
do anything to America, even if Am
erica were on the losing side."
Answer. "My heart bleeds for
iLouvain." (The Kaiser).
Lies No. S to No. 1.263,407; that
is. all the other lies. • • •
Answer. Find the German who
started them.
GAS .MASKS FOR PEOPLE WHO
OBJECT
John Reck, presideutof the Firet
National Bank, would reoommejj
gas m'Jsks for the use of any who
are t«.o tastidious to staaid the
"cannery smell," which is causing
seme to dread the location of a
iiumDer of new canneries inside oi
Juueau this summer, says the Ju
neau D-'spatch.
Sa.d Mr. Reck yesterday; "I
should like to see five or six can
neries started .here if possible. I
understand that there is complaint
abou> the smell. Well, I think a
cannery kept sanitary is all right
and injures no one's health. And I
noti.* Ketchikan, Wrangell and Pe
ters bu^g all have canneries and
rhey seem to thrive and do well.
"I can see no reason why Juneau
should lag behind and not get .her
share. People of fastidous tastes,
objecting to the smell, might wear
gas masks "

Washington, D. C., March 13. —j
The Federal Government is not on
ly siren close attention to the
rastter of the proper housing of
its new appointees in Washington,
but the general wlefare of tho em
ployes h now considered In, great
er measure thaai ever before. Many
of the young people who have come
to Washington for war work are
hundreds, even thousands, of miles
from home for the first time In
their lives. They are strangers in
& strange land, and it is not to
be wondered at that they, become
homesick and magnify the trouhles
that they are bound, to meet during
the peiicd of adjustment to new
conditions. The departmentt heads
realize that a good clerk must be
a conieu'ed one, and many of
fices have appointed welfare worker^
whos{< business it is to take an
unobtrusive interest in the affairs
of the employees and to try to help
them with their difficulties. Experi
ments along this: line have had such
good results that the number of'
offices which employ welfare work
ers is increasing.

000 employes have been added to
the civil service in Washington, D.

vice Ctmmission, whose duty it is
to recruit this branch of the ser
vice, estimates that thia calendar
year wili add another 20,000. Steno
graphers are being appointed in
great numbers. There is also need
for clerks, both men and women,
who aie trained in certain special
or technical lines, ship draftsmen,
mechanical draftsmen, and work

building. The representatives of j
the civ'l service commission at the

IK) YOUR BIT
L*t every fellov do his bit,
An<l smile while he is doing it.
It may be leading hopes forlorn; ,
It may be only hoeing corn;
Still ho is acting like a man,
In doing it the best he can.
Let's all find out what Duty means,
la beating arms or planting beans;
And ore we reach the Great Beyond,
Let's dig down deep and buy a bond.
Dig for the coins while we have
got 'em,
Down deep until we scrape the
bottom,
Let's back our boyg who are facing 1

Housework Is
A Burden
Woman's lot is a weary one at
bes'. But with backache and oth
er distressing kidney- ilia life in
deed becomes a burden. Down's Kid
ney Pills have mode life brighter for
many women. Read what Mrs.
Roll Cookston, oif 1809 E. First
Ave., Spokane, Wash., savs: "Tha
jrip cut my kidneys out of order
md I suffered with a heavy dull
pain in the small of ray back which
tept setting more severe Some
lays I could hardly do my work for
t was almost impossible to bend
>ver. My kidneys were weak and
innoyed me a great deal, too. (I
;vas worried because my feet swell
ed and because of the puffiness nai
ler my eyes. One box of Doan's
Kidaev Pills gave me relief j and
ifter I had used two boxes I was
^eelnir fine in everyway." j (State
nmil given October 16, 1915.)
On June 8, 1917 Mrs. Cookston
said: "I have had absolutely no
rouble with my kidneys since
■Joan's Kidney j Pills cured me
tnd I feel better than I have jin
■ears."
