nation wide food wring drive, *how
that 400,000,000 jam of home canned
vegetable* and fruit* will be placed on

"From North Carolina we have da
ta which show* the increase in caw
ning club work will be from 700,Owl
last year to 4,000,000 cant in 1917. In
Iowa it U estimated that the jump
from 8,000,000 last to 40,000,000
can* this year. So it goes wherever
we are retting figure*. Moct careful
figure* show the women will u» one
new jar with every three and a quar
ter old jars on hand. To September 1
glass jar makers had delivered about
113,000,000 quart jars, so you can
easily see what the women are doing.
"But this is not all. The commer
cial canner has joined the food saving
campaign as never before. Govern
ment statics show a food saving cam
paign as never before Government
statistics show a round billion i*ns of
corn, peas and tomatoes will be ready
for market. The exact estimate is
58,262,400 cans. This is an increase
of canned corn of 77,506,660 cans and
69,597,600 cans of tomatoes over 1916.
"Newspaper headlines say Germany
sneers at our army. She had not bet
ter sneer at our women for, as this
commission has always held, this war
will be won in the kitchen. The wom
en of the country know whata what as
1a clearly nhown in the thousands of
letters asking the commission for ex
pert instruction. They wftnted no un
iform but the kitchen apron but they
did waat the best instruction quickly.
They are thrifty without being told to
be. A man. as a rule, is one of two
extremes, stingy, or a spendthrift.
But the woman am the real fighter*.
They give all, their sons, their hus

The money invented in the distilling

at between $*.000,000 and 10,000,000.
This will not be a loan, it is (aid, be

Statiiitica show that the yearly pro

averaged about 1 >*20.340 gallons. The
distillation of alcohol was 21J042JM2
gallons a year.
The average consumption of rye was

3,000,000 bushela.
About 200 distilleries in Kentucky
were affected by the government's or

Many employes, such as the office
forces and salesmen, however, will be

ing why Hayti baa
delation with Germany,
Haytian Minister to tha United 1
ha. diseleeod an Meroetlmr bit of <Kp-|
lomattc history thawing how
■ar la bdn| foread to pay tha penalty |
for acta of unwarranted frightfulneee |
committed against the lepoblic of
Hayti twenty years ago.
la December, 1MT, when Mr. Menoa
waa minister for foreign affairs the
German amperor forced Hayti to pay
120,000 and humiliated the nation by
forcing profuae and ceremonial ap
ologies under throat of bombardment
of the national palace and the city of
Port au Prince by German warship*.
Now Hayti amy force the kaioer to
pay 120,000,000 ia retain. German
financial interests in Hayti make it
aaay far thia sum to he collected, it ia
explained.
Xr. Menoa believes the details of
the caae strikingly illustrate the very
traits of domineering German official
dom which were responsible for the
world war.
The trouble between Germany and
Hayti started on September 21, 1N9,
Xr. Menoa explains, when Count Sch
weiin, the German Charge <i'Affaires,
came to him to protest against the ar
rest by tha Haytian police of a Ger
man named Emile Luders. It devel
oped that Luderx's coachman, named
Dorleaua Presume, had been caught
stealing. When the police sought to
arrest him the German attacked the
of OM ana of (he ffaftu au
thorities, but took the stand that no
German should be made amenable to
the law for ordinary people, especially
if the German happened to be a mart
of Luder's standing.
Mr. Keim totd fount Schwcrtn
that he would do everything possible
to protect I,uders'.« right* but that he,
could not disregard Haytian laws
Without an investigation. Meanwhile
Luders wai tried and found guilty of
flair rant and unwarranted attack on the
Haytian police andw a.1 sentenced to •
month's imprisonment.
Count Schwerin became increasingly
indignant and demanded a new trial,
with the immediate release of Ludena.
Appreciating the menacing attitude of
the German diplomat, Mr. Menos ar
ranged for a new trial at once and in
the meantime agreed that Ludera be
taken from the ordinary prison and in
stalled in special quarter*.
Count Schwerin appeared satisfied
with this arrangement. But in realty
he had cahted the German government
asking for instructions as to how Gar
man preatige might best be emphasiz
ed at that time for the particular ben
efit of the American continent.
The first intimation the Haytian
government had of tfiis was whan
Count Schwerin dresaed in the full un
iform of a Uhlan, galloped up to tiia
imperial palace after President Sam
had retired and demanded an imme
diate audience.
The count presented a demand from
the kaiser for the immediate liberation
of Ludera, the dismissal of the judge
who had senteneced him and the pun
ishment of all the police instrumental
in bringing about hia arrest.
"In the name of my august master
the Kmperor William, I wait until to
morrow noon for my reply," the count
said upon leaving.

But the Hay-tian leads;* aaw the

ha upiabied. A now ultimatyn had
joat arrlvari. It demanded M30.00A
payment to Loders, aa agreement by
Hayti to give him special privileges,
aa apology by Hayti to tha emperor
and a ceremonial public apology to
himaalf (Count Sehwarin) by tha Hay
tian president.
Thu put matter* in a now light, for
Hayti could not iwfoaa to pay Indomity
for carrying out ita own laws without
humiliating itaaif before ita own peo
ple aad before the world. Beaidea.
the public apologies amounted to ad
mitting that the Haytian authorities
had no right to arrvet a thief if he
worked for a German. After a cabi
net council it waa decided that Hayti
could not agree to the new demanda
without repudiating Ita own sovereign
right*.
While theae deliberation* were go
ing on Count Sehwarin informed Mr.
Manoa that he waa going aboard a
German worship and would be heard
from later. On December A the Ger
man warshi^e Charlotte and Stein ar
rived at Port au Prince, cleared for
actios.
Note came from Count Sdiwerin
»■■■"
tomi Germany remain siwftd until
Hayti replied to orders which the gov
ernment would get from the imperial
naval commander, Thiols, on board the
Charlotte.
Then# orders cam* * few hour* la
ter and demanded immediate pay
ment of |20,l»00 special privilege* for
Luders, an apology »ent aboard the
ship and adressed to "Mia Majesty the
Imperial German Emperor" and a
public apology to count Schwerin at
the national palace and 20 salute* fired
irv honor of the the German flair.
Four hours were riven Hayti to
comply with these demands. After
that "coercive measures" would be un
dertaken by the warships Charlotte
and Stein. It was explained that first
all Haytian craft would be sunk, next
the fortification of Port an Prince
would be leveled, then the national
palace and the public building* would
ha reduced to ruins and general bom
bardment of the city would continue
regardless of consequences until a
white flag was conspicuously display
ed in token of surrender to Imperial
Germany's demands.
Hayti was forced to yield. Count
Schwerin, attired in full uniform and
with military medals, came to the na
tional palace with the pomp of a king
to accept public apology from the
Haytian president and the officials, in
cluding Mr, Menoa.
It was prescribed that every Hay
tie n had to drink a glass of champagne
with the count, toasting his imperial
majesty the German emperor -J he
emptied the glass. Mr. Menoe now
says he took just a alp of the wine,
and when he raised his glass to the
German emperor he felt he would give
everything he ever posse seed if the
day should come when the imperial
German government could be forced
to pay for the humiliation heaped up
on Hayti.
That day has now come, Mr. Menos
aays, without concealing has satisfac
tion.
