"The enemy must not be spared the want and wretchedness of war; these are parlieu larly useful In shatleiiuK Us energy and aiibdulag its will."

In order to assist Ccrnian officers in carrying out the rpirit of this advice, a manual was prepared for them in liHHi, called ".Military Interpreter for Use in the Kneiny's Country," in which were provided translations in French of proclamations threatening town and villages with de struction "without pity" unless wholesale fines were paid. The proclamations were used in clgiuin and France and show that all the atrocities had the sanction of (Ierman officialdom and were heartily approved by the (lerinan people. .For half a century (lermans have been taught these precepts from the cradle but. they were religion in Prussia for a century before in fact the Prussian, a mixture of Hoinaiii'.cd-Tcuton, Slav and Mongol, with Ihe worst, traits. of all predominating, has always been a barbarian at heart, has never emerged fro in feudalism and has suc eessfullv barbari.ed all (ieriuanv.

An army of lour million on the front will be double the sie of the I'.riiish army in France and a million more than the French army. It will give the allied forces an overwhelming superiority in man power over (Iermany, whose army is now numerically superior to the combined Fi-ciiclt-and lirilish forces. Should the Austrian army be thrown on the western front, the allied forces would still retain superiority. The supremacy in man power which we are just be ginning to establish will be further supplemented by the overwhelming superiority in munitions and equipment. Our newly built war machinery has finally began to func tion and quantity production of everything essential is underway. In any given Hue we will far surpass the enemy.

Uncle Sam as manager of l-.e railroads has demonstrated he can handle oil tank cara hetter than anyhody else, there by making it possible to cancel or ders for thousands ot these cars. There has always been trouble about the speedy movement of tank cars, the result belns that tho eom- I panics an tho roads had to own more than were really needed. Last Juno Director General McAdoo . or dered that on July 1 nil tank cars be brought under liniflci. control thru a central office in Chicago. Records were to be kept there showing the performance of those cars. Tills was tried out first with the great mid-conlinent lines and is now being applied in the eastern section. The result Is that today in the nild continent field there is at hand at the refining stations a supply of tank cars ample to take care of all de mands for IS hour3 ahead. By this means the oil Industry is in a position to supply all needs at short notice Instead of having to svait until a suf ficient number of cars could be as sembled. Whereas in April re'inery tank cars were mailing at the rate of from 3j to 4ti miles per day, they are now Tunning all the way from ."! to 71. Tho tank car Hne3 have 13,mu tank ears on order with the manufac turers. The orders can now be can celled, releasing a lot of steel for other war uses. ERMAN MUTINEERS IJOIN lilll LOX!HN', An-. :!. Twelve hun dred tiermuii mutineers have joined forces with an ar;ned peasant body ami ati;icked the ( lerinan Oce.- in the region of lJymera, 24 miles from Kiev, acr-ordintr to a Kussian wireless dispatch received here today from MiM'ow. Tieree l'ihtiny; lias taken place between the (ierinans and the peasants and there have been heavy losses on both sides. and 1 think of the thousand other Lood thiii'-'s they are doinr i'or our boys, too. When I left France just a few days ao, as that actual few weeks now seems, I went over to call on Cap tain Archie Uoo-evelt, one of tin four brave sons of the man the American soldiers asked me most about. And Archie looked so fine and yet so pale from the on weeks of sni'ferinu in Ihe hospital, ( felt I miuhi be wearin on his strength lo talk too loiiu, and when I was about to leave a li-ht came in his fine face and he fairly shouted to me, 'You tell dad when you see him that the lir.-t chaii'-e he tre Is to.be sure and say a jood word tor tiie Salvation Army. They are the real thinu ucr here, judtic." And after hoarinir Archie relate the tales of their her-d-m as he !uul per sonally witnessed it with our dead and dyin-r and wounded and ium-'rv boys, you couldn't help but take nfl your hat and shout for the Salvation Army and, what is mury important, -jo down in your purse and diir up all you've i;ot to -pare for them. The other war charities are all riidit but the word.- of the boy- e er where over there rinir in my ear- over hi-p: "Whatever vou ilo, don't forutt tin Salvation Army."
