GERMANY RESPONSIBLE
FOR MILLIONS OF LIVES
She Can Never Pay For Lives Lost But Must Pay
Until She Learns That Might Does
Not Make Right
By WRIGHT A. PATTERSON.
There are In France and Belgium
today very close to 8,000,000 soldier
graves that would not have been there
had Germany not started a war of con
quest to gratify tho selfish ambitions of
a selfish people for world domination.
In these graves are buried the
heroes of America, of Englaud, of
France, of Belgium, of Italy, of Can
ada, of Australia, of South Africa, of
India, of Portugal, of Morocco, of
Chinn and other parts of the world.
These heroes gave their lives that the
cruelly selfish plans of the Boche
might be defeated; that the world
might be a dwelling place for freemen
and not for the slaves of autocracy.
And the war in which they made
me last great sacrifice was started by
Germany only to gratify the selfish
greed of a people who had been taught
that might is right,
I realized tho tragic Interest of
America in these graves as I walked
over the hilltop at Guillimont farm
near the village of Bony, and found
there two large cemeteries la which
American dead lie buried. I realized
it anew as Gen. Tlenry Rawlinson
commanding the Fourth British army,
recounted to me the incidents of that
battle in which American troops madt
the first break in the Hlndenburg line,
and when he told me of the wonderful
gallantry of those American boys, “the
most gallant troops that ever fought
on a battlefield."
tiler buried beneath it, as well as tb«
letter of Ills company and the number
of his battalion. In the onrush of the
Huns last March this cemetery was
taken, and the wanton cruelty of the
Roche is nowise better illustrated than
by the fact that he went through that
cemetery -and painted out the names
of these British dead.
Should Pay to the Limit.
Should the Boche not pay for such
dastardly work us that? Should he
not pay for attempting to deprive the
relatives und friends of those British
soldiers of knowing (heir final resting
place, even though, thanks to the Brit
ish graves commission, the attempt
will not be successful? He must pay
the penalty just as any other criminal
must pay the penalty for his crimes.
The world cannot send an entire na
tion to jail, but the world can today
punish th(> nations that have commit
ted the most terrible crimes known tc
modern times, at least, by making the
people of these nations work only that
they may pay.
Among the saddest sights to bf
found in the battle areas of Europe
today is the lonely grave, the little
cross that stands by itself and marks
the spot where a soldier met death by
a strny shell. There were many, many
thousands of these seen along the
sides of the thousand miles of road
ways I covered in Belgium and north
6m a
Today more than 1,000 of those gal
lnnt American boys are burled In sol
dler gruves on thnt battlefield, and lit
tie wooden crosses mark their resting
places.
Severe Lesson fdr Germany.
German urtmey cannot pay for those
lives, but that spirit of greed, of wan
tonness, of selfish ambition, that pro
duced the senseless, needless war in
which they died, must be crushed, and
it can be crushed only by making the
German pay, and pay, and pay, until
he has learned that might is not right
and thnt war for the purposes of con
quest and domination is not profitable,
An American regiment, to which 1
had belonged some years ago, and in
which were enrolled many personal
friends, had fought on that field. Af
I walked beside the long rows ol
wooden crosses, and knew that some
of them marked the resting places ol
my friends, 1 felt, as any other Ameri
can would have felt under the same
conditions, that Germany must pay in
order that Germany should learn thnt
might Is not rlglit
I am sure that every father, every
mother, every brother, every sister,
every relative and friend of those
American boys who are buried on Eu
ropean battlefields will feel that Ger
many must pay and pay heavily for
the desolation she has caused through
out the world.
There is on the Somme battlefields,
not far from what once was the beau
tiful little city of Peronne, a soldiers’
cemetery in which British troops are
burled. On each little wooden cross
hud been painted the name of the sol

era France, and in very many cases
they marked the spot where a German
shell had caught a transport driver as
he guided his truck to or from the
front. The hoys who He In these lone
ly graves were heroic American boys,
' heroic French boys, heroic British
boys, and they have paid the great
price that the Boche might not de
stroy the freedom of the world. They
gave their all, and whatever the Boche
may be made to pay will bo small In
, comparison with this sacrifice.
Near what was the city of Noyon
| one may see a striking comparison be
I tween the methods of the Boche and
! those of the nations that have been
fighting the Germans. Here lie burled
} side by side both French and German
soldiers. Around each cemetery the
I French have built a fence. Over each
I French grave files a French flag, and
on each German grave green boughs
1 have been placed by the French. Such
! treatment for the German dead only
j emphasizes the need that Germany
• pay for the desecration of the graves
! of the allied soldiers committed by her
j troops in France.
Further Display of Impudence.
Just at the edge of the little French
city of St. Mihlel, held by the Ger
mans for four years and retaken by
the American troops late last summer,
Is a German cemetery that stands as
an insult to the French people. Here
are buried a lurge number of German
officers. In this cemetery the German
government erected a magnificent
marble shaft commemorating the valor
of these German officers, and over the
graves stand elaborate marble and
granite monuments erected to the
memory of these German officers.
These monuments have been erected
on what has always been French soil,
and they stand there as one of the
greatest pieces of impudence commit
ted by the German nation in this war.
This is but another of the many,
many Incidents that add to the seri
ousness of the crimes committed by
the Boche, und for which ho should
pay.
A very considerable portion of the
soil of Belgium and northern France
is today given over to the graves of
soldiers of the allies, and these sol
dier boys would not be dead, these
graves would not be there, millions of
homes would not today be In mourn
Inn, had not a selfish people started i
war for the purposes of conquest am
loot; a war conducted with all th<
wuntonness and cruelty of savages
Why should they not pay, and pay
and pay, until they find that an un
holy war, such as they waged, Is th<
most unprofitable business In wblcl
man can engage?
SPARROWS’ NESTS IN A SHIP
Attracted by Grain and Not at All Af
fected by Noise, Birds Make
Home There.
A large tramp steamer had beer
towed Into a northeast coast port for
repairs. After having discharged her
cargo of grain, she was placed In a
ilry dock, situated In the middle of a
large ship-repairing establishment,
with all the usual accompaniment ol
noise from pneumatic hammers, steam
whistles, shouting of men, and o hei
noises common to all such works.
The grain, of which there Is always
n good deal left about after the holds
ire swept up, attracted the sparrows
In large numbers, nnd, as if guided by
instinct, they commenced to build
nests In various parts of the ship,
Undeterred by the noise or by the
constant going and coming of the
workmen, they reared their broods
nefore the repairs were completed,
lud the vessel sailed. This is believed
to be a unique case, for although the
sparrow Is u bold bird, it needed some
nluck to undertake home building in
mch circumstances. The workmen ad
mired the pluck of these boisterous,
•heeky birds, and wutched the proceed
ings to the flight of the young birds
with great Interest.
MUST INCREASE
FOOD EXPORTS
America Called on by End o'
War to Supply Added
Millions.
ECONOMY STILL NEEDED
Over Three Times Pre-War Shipments
Required—Situation In Wheat and
Fats Proves Government’*
Policy 8ound.
With the guns In Europe silenced,
we have now to consider a new world
food situation. Hut there can be nc
hope thut the volume of our export*
can be lightened to the slightest de
gree with the cessation of hostilities.
Millions of people liberated from the
Prussian yoke are now depending
upon us for the food which will keep
them from starvation.
With food the United States mads
It possible for the forces of demoo
racy to hold out to victory. To Insure
democracy In the world, we must con
tinue to live simply In order that wc
may supply these liberated nations ol
Europe with food. Hunger among a
people inevitably breeds anarchy.
American food must complete the work
of making the world safe for democ
racy.
Last year we sent 11,820,000 tons ol
food to Europe. For the present year,
with only the European Allies to feed,
we had originally pledged ourselves to
n program that would have Increased
our exports to 17,500,000 tons. Now,
to feed the liberated nations, we will
have to export a total of not less than
-0,000,000 toas—practically the limit
r>f loading capacity at our ports. Re
viewing the world food situation, we
find that some foods will be obtainable
In quantities sufficient to meet all
world needs under a regime of eco
nomical consumption. On the other
hand, there will be marked world
shortages In some Important commodi
ties.
Heturn to Normal Bread Loaf.
With the enlarged wheat crops
which American farmers have grown,
and the supplies of Australia, the Ar
gentine and other markets now acces
sible to shipping, there are bread
grains enough to enable the nations to
return to their normal wheat loaf,
provided we continue to mill flour at
ii high percentage of extraction and
maintain economy In eating and the
ivoldance of waste.
In fats there will be a heavy short
age—about 3,000,000,000 pounds —In
>ork products, dairy products and
vegetable oils. While there will be a
diortnge of about three million tons
n rich protein feeds for dairy anl
nals, there will be sufficient supplies
>f other feedstuff's to ullow economical
ronsumption.
In the matter of beef, the world’s
• upplies are limited to the capacity of
tie available refrigeruting ships. The
<upplies of beef in Australia, the Ar
gentine and the United States are suf
lclent to load these ships. There will
>e a shortage In the importing coun
rles, but we cannot hope to expand
»xports materially for the next months
n view’ of the bottle neck in truns
lortation.
We will have a sufficient supply of
iugar to allow normal consumption In
his country If the other Datlons re
nin their present short rations or ln
rease them only slightly. For the
countries of Europe, however, to ln
rease their present rations to a ina
erial extent will necessitate our shar*
ng a part of our own supplies with
hem.
Twenty Million Tens of Food.
Of the world total, North America
will furnish more than 60 per cent.
Hie United States, including the West
Indies, will be called upon to furnish
■ L’O.UW.tXX) tons of food or nil kinds us
i ompured with our pre-wur exports of
I about 6,000,000 tons.
> While we will he able to change our
peogrum In many respects, even u
casual survey of the world supplies
In comparison to world demands shows
. conclusively that Europe will know
. famine unless the American people
tiring their home consumption down
to the barest minimum that will piuln
taln health and strength.
There are conditions of famine In
Europe that will he beyond our power
to remedy. There are 40,000,000 peo
ple In North Russia whom there Is
| small chance of reaching with food
! thh* winter. Their transportation Is
demoralized In complete anarchy, and
shortly many of their ports will be
frozen, even If Internal transport
could be realized.
To Preserve Civilization.
At tills moment Germany lias not
alone sucked the food and animals
from all those masses of people she
has dominated and left starving, but
she Iims left behind her a total wreck
age of social Institutions, and this
mass of people is now confronted with
absolute anarchy.
If we value our own safety and the
social organisation of the world. If we
value the preservation of civilization
itself, we cannot permit growth of this
cancer In the world's vitals.
Famine Is the mother of anarchy.
From the Inublllty of governments to
secure food for their people grows
revolution and chaos. From an ability
to supply their people grows stability
of government and the defeat of an
archy. Did we put It on no higher
plane than our Interests In the pro
tection of our Institutions, we mu^t
bestir ourselves in solution of this
problem.
Farm enterprise and much soft com
Increased pork supplies, food conser
vation increased exports—total ship
ments doubled.

Is Avoid and Relieve Influenza
BY DR. FRANKLIN DUANE.
Many i>eoplo have been frightened by
■hat they have read or heard of influenza.
The more you fear the disease, the surer
you aro to get it. Go right about your
business and forget it. As the disease is
spread principally by contact thru sneez
ing. coughing or spitting, many health au
thorities have advised tnateveryone wear
a gauze, which is daily washed and satur
ated with a one to five hundred solution
of zinc sulphate in water, and then dried
before wearing over the nose and mouth.
You should avoid crowds, common drink
ing cups and public towels. Keep your
strength up by taking lots of exercise In
the open air and plenty of nourishing food.
Jf you have any of such symptoms as
ehillintKS, nasal obstructions, flushed face,
headache, feverishness, restlessness, weak
ness, or irritating cough, give up work at
once and go to bed. This will save your
strength to help overcome the disease. Put
vour foot in hot water for fifteen minute*.
Thoroughly loosen the bowels with soma
such mild and non-irritating physic as Dr.
Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets. Drink princi
pally of hot lemonade and then cover up
with plenty of clothes In bed so as to get
a good sweat. When sweating is free and
the fever reduced take a dose of two An
uric Tablets every four hours, followed by
drinking at least a glass or two of hot
water. Anuric Tablets help quickly to
relieve the soreness of the muscles and
bones from which most patients complain
and help the kidneys flush out the poisons.
To relievo nasal obstructions and
excessive discharge from tho nose, prob
ably nothing is better than such a mild,
soothing, antiseptic wash «3 Dr. Mage’s
Catarrh Remedy. It will give great
relief. Employed as a gargle, in samo
strength as made up for use in the nose,
and as hot as can bo borne, it quickly ar
rests soreness and dryness in the throat.
Influenza weakens tho patient’s resist
ance to disease, so that there is danger of
bronchitis and pneumonia developing. To
combat this tendency and fortify tho pa
tients’s strength insist that lie keep in bed
at least two days. Probably nothing will
at this stage hasten the recovery and
strengthen tho patient more than an iron
tonic tablet called " Irontie” or that well
known herbal tonic, Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery, which has been used
by thousands in tuo past two generations,
