WARNS PUBl fC AGAINST

of the DtfcnM Society.
"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

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."

"Well in the artillery the horses

"Don't want dat."
"Men in the infaiitry section hunt
for the white of tne enemy'* eye and
shoot at them and get shot at."
"Don't want dat."
"The medical depatment (toes on

wounded and the dying," drawled the
adviser, sadly.
"G'wan boss; dont want dat." .
"The ordnance department carries
cannon balls and bullet.< to the men
who shoot them at the enemy."
"Don't want dat."
"The quartermaster corp* carries

Daniel* Make* Appeal
For Shipyard Workers.
Washington. 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.
"Every thmI that is turned out in
this country counts toward the defeat
of GoTiiany. Every woiker in a ship
yard can feel that he is doing n part
U ward wir.ning this struggle only
less important than that of the men
on warships or in the trenches."

They have done ao with scientific ac

The Maxwell closed cars have grace,

But, if built to sell for less than $1195
one or the other of these would be
lacking.
On the other hand, for a higher price
you could get only larger «e or fancier

That is what we mean by "the Middle
