THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1918 THE GREAT DUTY. As wo go about our daily tasks in peace and safety men are dying every minute on the battlefields of Europe to save civilization. Our own gallant soldiers are shedding thir blood in France and our sailors engulfed in the waters of the Atlantic as they go in defense of America's rights and honor. Upon our performance of the work committed to us depend the lives of thousands of men and women, the fate of many nations, the preserva tion of civilization and humanity it self; and the more efficient and prompt we people of America are in doing our part, the more quickly will this war come to an end and the greater the number of our soldiers and sailors who will be saved from death and suffering and the greater number of the people of other na tions released from bondage and Baved from death. To work, to save, to economize, to give financial support to the Govern ment. is a duty of the nation and to the world and it is especially a duty to our fighting men who on land and sea are offering their lives for their country and their countrymen. mixed in bread, improves ibothraptfOar ance and flavor. - WAR EMERGENCY 'WORK.

POTATOES AND PATRIOTISM. By eating potatoes Instead of wheat the people of the United States can help win the war. We have not enough wheat for the allies and our selves if we are to continue at our normal rate of consumption. We have an abundance of potatoes. Wheat flour Is a concentrated food andtherefore good for shipping; po tatoes are bulky and are consequently not suited for limited shipping space, nor aretbe allies so short of pota toes as of wheat. Next to cereals, potatoes have been in this country, the mainstay of starchy food, which supplies energy. The more potatoes we eat, the less wheat we need. A medium-sized potato weighing about 3 ounces, supplies about aa much starch as two small slices of wheat bread one-half inch' thick. In other re spects also the potato measures up well with wheat bread and even has the advantage ovqr it in supplying certain salts which the body needs to counteract the acidity resulting from the use of such foods ,.as" cereals, meat and eggs. By.' exercjslrig her ingenuity the housewife can prepare potatoes in, many different attractive ... V, ways, thus Increasing their "proportion In the family diet, and conserving wheat and other staples needed for shipment abroad. An important use of potatoes also, is in the. '.mixing of, breadcJn which mashed' po'tatbes up to fully ten per per cent, may be used without detracting either from its tasto or appearanco; in fact, many porsons Insist that potatoes properly was never ground, boys, .r ,.

As you swing your ax think of tho atrocities committed by a bloodthirsty Kaiser upon innocent women and children; he would do, tho same In our country If he had a chance. It has been a great pleasure to mo to bring these pictures to a Spring field audience. For that reason I agreed to give three lectures instead of two as usual, which I would not. do under any other circumstances.

The body of the flag will be white with a broad red border. and three broad blue vertical stripes denoting the Third Loan. The flags, which will be of the same quality as th"e flags of the Navy, are already be' lng manufactured and will be award ed as fast as the right to fly them is won.

The men are quite lazy. They sit around and talk while the women work in the fields. Tho na tives have a wonderful Eastern of wireless telegraphy, the messages be ing made with one soft tone and one harsh tone made by beating a drum. Messages can be sent twenty-five miles In this way. Every man, wo man and child knows how to receive or send these mesages. - "The negro learns readily andr beM comes well trained and efficient In the mission schools there. But there are not enough missionaries, nor! enough supplies to reach the many negroes there." Rev. Moon, who is only in the Unl ted States -on. furlough, is speaking in the churches- of Oregon to help out the missionary movement here. WHY WE ARfe AT WAR WITH GERMANY By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Executive Head, History Depart ment Leltnd Stanford Junior University "The bjMt of this war U to deliver the free peoples of tho werld from the menace and tho actual power of a vat military establishment controlled by an Irresponsible government, which, having secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry out the plan without regard either to the t acred obllgatlone of treaty or tho long-eetabllihed prac tice! and long-cherished principles of In. ternatlonal action and honor; . . This power la not the Oerman people. It Is the ruthlees master of the Oerman peo- file, . . . It le our business to see to t that the history of the rest of the world le no longer left to Ite handling." Preeldenl Wilson, August 27, 1917. THE MATERIAL AIMS OF GER MANY. Germany believes that she has the right to dominate tho world. Her militaristic autocracy believes that this war Is a step toward such world domination, but that Oerman demands or the present may rest, satisfied with substantial gains In Europe. For years German political writing has been full of tho "terms of peace" after a war, and today thoso terms remain unal tered. The Russian negotiations have served to prove that what has for a long tlmo been public opinion, Is now official opinion. The quotations will show this. First, the more general purposes; "If we come victorious out of this war, we shall be the first people on the earth, a rich stream of gold will pour over the land." "Expansion of our power both East and West, if possible alia over teas; political and military domination combined. Indlssolubly con nected with economical expansion, this Is our war aim." , "The territory open to future German expansion must ex tend from the North Sea and the Bal tic to the Persian Gulf, absorbing he Netherlands and Luxembourg, 3Wlt zerland, the whole basin of the Dan ube, the Balkan Peninsula and Asia Minor." , Second, the immediate alma; "Our relations with Turkey have drawn us Into this war, . , . tho Bagdad Railway must be extended by us to the open sea. even to India ItBelf." "Belgium must remain under German domination . . there exists no better line of attack for the German army in a future war with France," whom It Is necessary "to weaken to such a degree that sho can never again be dangerous to us." "Will anybody believe that wo will hand over the lands which we have occupied In the West, on which the blood of our peo ple has flowed?" "We are not an In stitute for lengthening the life of dying states." But It Is on Poland and Western Russia that Germany has alt along fixed her eyes, imm .4 wmmitmiam. 0- ;m old, cm&fm eam,-H.

Our eastorn boundaries must not remain where they are." "Livonia. Kurland, Esthonla, have been for more than seven centuries sister-countries united through German traditions. It Is true Germans do not yet represent 10 per cent of the Inhabitants; but their char acter niters through the whole." "Let us bravely organize great forced mi grations of the Inferior peoples. Pob terlty will be grateful to us. We must coerce theml This is one of the tasks of war. 8uch forced migrations may appear hard, but It Is tho only solu tlon. . . . The inefficient peoples, discouraged and rendered Indifferent to the future by the spectacle of the superior energy of their conquerors, may then crawl slowly towards tbe peaceful death of weary and hopelczs senility." The writer of this was here viewing especially the non-Oerman populations of Bouth America, How is America interested In the European political and territorial rc suits of this war? Well, first, we are at war. Germany believes that peace zow, on tho terms she outlines, means a Germany victorious. That means a contlnuanco of military autocracy in Germany a continuance of an aggres sive policy a continuance of German faith In its special destiny to rule the world. Against that German ideal we are fighting. But we are also fighting to save the Americas from the "next step" in German Imperialism. In tho first year of the war, the one great fear expressed by German officers was that a long war in Eurore would cause America to wake up." Wake up to what? Not to the need of American participation in the war. Tho German officers thought America negligible for this war. But they did. nd do, fear that America would awake to the danger to herself, her ideals, her Institutions, her Interests. and that being awakened, Germany's next step in world domination would be harder than the present one. , There is no hope of a changed Gor many of establishing thpso peaceful and friendly relations which should i notermino international conduct If Germany gains her objects, or any part of them, In V is war. Bhe has set her heart utoi certain material Objects. We must see to it that she does not gain them.
