< If the war against the central pow
ers is won it will be by the men and
resources of the United States. Eng
land, France and Italy are not equal
to the task of crushing the German
military machine. If that machine
is not crushed now it means that this
country will have to prepare for a
future conflict and shoulder the
heavy burden of building up and
maintaining an" army and navy strong
enough to defy any assaults by sea
or land.
: The sensible thing to do is to end
-the present era of high taxes, abnor
mal prices and unsettled business
conditions, by winning the war as
quickly as possible. This can be
done by throwing Into it every ounce
°f our man, money and food power,
which Is impossible without the con
- ant and hearty co-operation of all
classes of our citizens. The failure
of slackers at home to do their duty
will result in prolonging the war 1
and nullifying to a large extent the
fruits of the heroism and sacrifices
of our men at the front.
A slacker ig a person who tries to
evade or shirk any part of the duties
imposed up,,,, him or her by the war.
"c man who declines to purchase
"berty Bonds or to invest in them
nmore money than he can conveni
ently "Pare; the housewife who ig
nores In whole or in part the regula
tions of the food administration; the
farmer who falls to use every en
sor to produce a maximum crop;
the laborer who slows down the
uilding of ship s or the manufacture
of needed supplies; the woman who
;- ÜBes to give as much of her time
»» Possible to Red Cross work, are
"J! Ati much slackers as the man of
military age who evades registering
or military service, and just as de
wing of public condemnation.
,The law provides for publishing
Jg names of military slackers and
a punishment for them.
Pt .ere ,s no law which reaches the
„„" kindiJ of backers, but in most
whir: a record is being *«*
tltV win soon disclose their iden
» a nil then It will become the duty
KARL P. ALLEN, Editor
of patriotic newspapers to publish
their names, and thereby arraign
them at the bar of public opinion.
While the law prescribes no way of
punishing their lack of loyalty, the
loyal people of the community In
which they reside can mete out a
severe penalty by refusing to associ
ate with them, by expelling them
from social and fraternal organiza
tions, by treating them with the con
tempt and suspicion merited by their
disloyalty to their country. These are
harsh measures but war requires
harsh methods, A sentry who
goes to sleep on duty when
confronting the enemy, or a sol
dier who refuses to obey orders in
action is punished by death. The use
of proportionately harsh methods is
justified in punishing all persons
who, in this national crisis, refuse to
support the government, and persist
in putting their own selfish interests
above the interests of the nation.
The hour has struck for separat
ing the disloyal from the loyal, the
slackers from the patriots. The
boys at the front have a right to
know who among the residents of
the community which they represent
are backing them up and who are in
different to their wellfare. Honor
and support every self-sacrificing
patriot, brand and ostracize every
slacker, regardless of sex, wealth or
social prestige.

THE HOLY LAND'S DISTRESS
Adjectives are exhausted, meaning
less sounds in the presence of the un
speakable. Before our mighty moun
tains, cataracts, canyons, reverent
men stand bowed and silent. In the
presence of destruction so complete
as in the Bible lands, of horrors so
unthinkable, of sufferings so abject,
of cruelties out-Sataning Satan, of
destitution so hopeless, and hunger
so universal, there is only one thing
to do —cease meaningless words in
futile effort to describe, and act with
energy.
Herbert Spencer described "in
stinct" as action without thought,
just as one jerks his hand from a hot
stove the instant of contact; the in
stinct of our humanity in the pres
ence of such distress is for prompt
action. The occasion must meet
prompt measures, or there will be no
need. The unadorned facts are:
Prussanlzed Turkey settled upon a
policy of complete extermination of
all elements which could not be as
similated in her wicked schemes. The
single test was religious; renounce
present faiths and embrace Moslem-
Ish. Refusal meant deportation, ex
ile, confiscation of homes and prop
erty of all kinds, butchery and rape.
The Armenian, Syrian, Assyrian.
Greek and Jew faced the single al
ternative as we would expect them
to, choosing to be true to their an
cient faith, than purchase Immunity
as so great a price. Over one-half
of these people suffered death, before
the madness was stayed, but the de
portations were almost complete of
over 2,000,000 who as yet survive.
and these are wholly dependent up
on American relief, requiring at least
000,000 during the present year
to save them from absolute starva
tion.
Turkey having reversed her policy
of wholesale destruction, now co-op
erates in administering relief
through American consuls and mis
sionaries, although diplomatic rela
tions have been severed. Money is
cabled direct to a bank in Switzer
land, thence to banks in Constanti
nople, whence it is sent to interior
banks and drawn upon by those im
mediately in charge of the distribu
tion of funds. No delays are experi
enced, and relief is as promptly af
forded as the funds are given here.
Absolutely no expense is charged
against contributed funds in raising
and distributing relief moneys; this
is vouched for by a most competent
board of auditors.
Pullman is asked to raise $1200 as
Its quota in providing relief for these
people. Conservatively Pullman
spends about $3000 per day for liv
ing expenses. Is it asking too much
for well-fed Pullman to give outright
a one-half day's living expense to al
lay the most bitter hunger of these
latest victims of Prussia's frightful"
ness?
Amid the deafening clamor and
roar of war, let us give ear to the
feeble cry coming up from this peo
ple in the name of Him who said
"Inasmuch as ye have given unto one
of these least, my brethren, ye have
given unto Me." Lei us do this to
day and tomorrow and so long as the
need exists, to our very limit and be
yond.

LIBERTY LOAN A DIKE
AGAINST AUTOCRACY
(By Hon. Willard Saulsburk of
Delaware, president pro tempore of
the United States Senate.)
The most impressive patriotic pic
tire I have ever seen is a poster by a
great French artist, advertising the
war bonds of his country. A wound
ed soldier just from the hospital is
shown watching men and women pay
ing their savings to the government
for these bonds, and the soldier says:
"They also do their part."
A Frenchman told me the story
of a sweet-raced old woman when the
call came fo«r the people to turn in
their gold for the prosecution of the
war. A few hundred francs repre
sent her only hope of comfort in ex
treme old age. She had grandchil
dren at the front. When the official,
upon receiving the money, gave her a
government bond( she said: "I didn't
know I was to receive anything for
it."
The free peoples of the earth have
built a dike across Belgium and
northern France with the bodies of
their young men of military age. It
restrains the ungoverned lust for
power, prestige, and territory of
what the world has termed the
"Royal house of Hohenzollern." If
that dike breaks, America Is not safe.
We are fighting in the cause of hu
manity, to make the world safe for
democracy, and also we are fighting
for the right to live peacefully in
America, unterrified by passions
which should only animate wild
beasts.
Our own boys will soon be making
the dike stronger. The front waves
of Prussian militarism grow less
threatening. The French have held,
the British are attacking, we must
help.
Lafayette's great-grandsons are on
the fighting line. Pershing, salut
ing at the tomb of Lafayette, said in
simplest words: "Lafayette, we
Americans are here!" The Amer
ican great-grandsons of Lafayette's
friends will soon be in that line. They
must have all the comforts, they shall
have all the comforts, that we can
give, and by swift and hard endeavor
we must convince our foes that they
must lose, saving the boys for Amer
ica', It may be, in hundreds of thou
sands. The money those of us unfit
for military service contribute will
make the boys at the front more
comfortable, may save their lives.
Government bonds are the safest
security for people's savings. The
Interest rates are fair, and profits
not needed to keep business active
should be invested in them. Patriot
ism and sagacity combine in recom
mending the new issue of Liberty
Bonds.

HOYS' COOKING (LASS
There are many ways of expressing
patriotism and while some have
chosen the khaki uniform and regi
mental band, a class of men have
chosen the kitchen apron and alumi
num kettle, and have taken up camp
cooking, under the supervision of
.Miss Prell of the home economics de
partment.
Every Tuesday and Thursday these
boys spend the seventh and eighth
periods studying the fundamental
principles of plain cooking, giving
much attention to concentrated foods
and their values, and learning to
serve. Miss Prell is very enthusi
astic and has plans which will be
worked out in the near future.
