"The only unliammrldi, outspoken anti'lirrman propaganda society ope rating all over our broad land in com hating lha work of lha enemy," la the way in which Henry C. yuimby chair man of the executive committee of the American Defense Hociety, deac. itien, the position occupied liy the society in a statement urging all citizens to awake to America'* imminent neadn. "Thin organization," he says, "ha» keen largely influenced in prom-riliing enemy insurance companies, alx.iir.h- • iriK the seditious soap-box orator, and in organizing anti-treason commit tee* in nearly 200 cities and town < thruout the country." Mr. yuimhy maintain* that the war U being fought by Germany very j largely thru peaker* and writer*! amongst their encmie*. "If this war should end in an inrun-1 elusive peace, or a peace in any way favorable to Germany." he say^. "it | will not be the re -uIt of their nuper-l mr fighting ability or of their arm^ 'it material; it will be directly due to their propaganda in the countries ofl the allie*. Thi* war in being fough today by Germany largely by speak er* and writer* among their enemies. In Rti i.t before the revolution there j Germany wax "pending ten m.llioti j dollars a month and maintaining there more than ten thou.md indi vidual* preaching pacifism and pro Germannra. Work of Propagandist*. There ha* tartly helped in taking Russia out of the war ami releasing upward of two million (ierman troop* from the H unman front. "Italy, Krance anil even England are honeycombed with workers for an immediate peace, which would leave Germany, augmented by her allien, a menace to the peace of the world. And our every day experience chows that for every propaganda working in Ruit.iia there are two at work in America. In the public schools of New York and in every American city the pro-German ia distilling his pois on into the minds of those lea>t able to withstand it; the Socialist* and avowed bolshevikist* are working in thousands in the foreign quarters of every town in America and nowhere more actively than on the East Side in our own great city. "What i* being done to counteract I this? What is bei(ig done by our gov ernment or by other agencies to meet this peril and to open the eyes of I our citizens to the frightful danger which menaces them their womankind and their property—and which in case of a peace based on compromise, will make us a taxridden and military nation for generations, subject always to the fall of the bloody Teuton sword that hangs only by a hair above our heads ? "The government by the so-called and only semi-official bureau of public ! information,.is doing what it can han dicapped by lack of appropriations for Its purposes. Krrpini People on Guard. "Compare this with England and other allied countries issuing liter ally millions of pamphlets hy its best writers. Much as their money is needed for foo<l, ammunition and equipment they realize the equal need of keeping the people in the war, of making the jieopte realize thatthewar must l>e won or they perish. "Here is America only one society maintains a regular new - feature —r vire, sent froe to over a hundred S')n ■ tay paper* thruout the land; h •'Is »iaa* meetings and distribute" h es such as that t>y Samuel Gompers, explaining to the laboring mun why this waT is his war—why he mi . ex ert himself and help to win it, or re vert to the slavery of hia anc«.it< r».

"It b the only untramaled outspok en antitierman propaganda »«»iety operating all mrw our broad land. In combating the work of the enemy." The South Must Feed Itself. Washington, D. C'„ Keb. 18, IVlft— "If the Mouth m(lwti this yaar to provide her own food and feed, ahc in likely to ruffar oarioun privation and even imperil our victory," says I la ranee Oualey, Assistant S» retary of Agriculture. "I am aware that these .ire itrong words" continue* Secretary Oualey, "hut they are none too strong. I am not expressing an alarming personal opinion. I am seeing through the eyes of IX agricultural colleges and of county agents in nearly every agri cultural county. I have recently crossed the continent from the Atlan tic to the Pacific. I have studied the reports leathered by the department's representatives and as many more employees of the agricultural col leges. I have considered the conclu sions of the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome which has re ports from all the world. "The plain, hard truth in that with 40 million people withdrawn from productive industri** and exgagrd in the business of destruction, it u> not humanly poaiaihle for production on the whole U> exceed normal demand. The question i* whether production ran equal necessitous demand. "England, France, and Italy must be sustained or their population* can not stand the strain. They have beer on iw-anty ration* for more than three yearn. The chief cause of Russia's coilapHe wan hunger. Soldiers can not fight when their wiven and chil dren are starving. "Secretary McAdoo has given warn ing that transportation may be lack ing in 11*1 H, to haul fond and feed to States and communitiea that do not provide for themselves. Many cat tle have been sacrificed in the drouth region* of the Northwest and the • Southwest d iring the la: t few month* because railroad cara could not b<e ob tained as needed. Military move ments mint have first consideration, and military movements will be great er in 1918 than in 1917. The prime question for the farmer is not what product will bring the highest price, but what products will insure food for his family and feed for his live stock, and the answer is: a vegetable gar den, a milk cow, a brood sow, a poul try flock, ample corn, oats, peanuts, etc., and then a* much cotton or to bacco as he can cultivate will. "It is the highest demand of patris tism—it is the first requirement of living—that in 1918 every state, every county, every neighborhood, every farmer, be as nearly self-sustaining a* possible. "For the South to plunge on cot ton or any other speculative crop and to depend upon the corn belt for bread and meat will be for the South to en gage in a gamble which may cause privation to its people and disaster to the Nation. For any man now to de termine his business operations from the standpoint of profit alone, without regard to the Nation's needs, is for him wilfully to profiteer in the Mood of his fellows who are fighting in France for the preservation of the re public. No man enn be excused for not taking his share of the responsi bility. "My whole life has been spent in the South. I know the Southern fnr J mer. He will do his duty as he sees it. I am appealing to every man in the South to make known the-e farts to consider it his bu inrsa to make them known and I shall have no doubt of the results. If they are not made known in a way to impress the ilaii that confronts us, there may be hunger in this bounteous land or hun ger over yonder in Europe, where It will apell ruin for all that U worth wlill* in America."

Feb. 16.—The man working in the shipyard contributes war time service to the nation of only le.vs importance than that of the sol diers or sailor. Secretary Daniels said tonight in a statement emphasizing the necessity of stimulating ship pro duction. "Ships, ships and more ships, u the call of the hour," said the secretary, "We must have them to carry our armies to Europe and to keep our troops and the allies supplied with food and munitions. General Persh ing calls for u bridge of ships across the Atlantic and that is what we are liending every effort to furnish him. "We must have more ships to win the war. We must h.ivc them for the Kust merchant marine that will car ry Amviica's commerce under the American Aug to all the world's poits after the war.
