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.

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

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,

ro rc we have assured our future. 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

does not gain them. Then her first
