TROOPS AT HOME American Soldiers on Foreign Soil Now Getting Acquainted. TENTS ARE PITCHED . Army Y. M. C. A. Was Ready for Work as Soon as Troops Landed. (United Press Service) (By W. S. Forrest. United Press Staff Correspondent I A French Port. June 20—(Special to Dally Demorcat) —America's troops ape already at home on French soil. One hour after they landed from transports they had some tents pitched. The chymic shelter was in operation, with fifty American khakidad warriors writing home about their safe trip, while an American phonograph ground out the music, “Home. Sweet Home.” It is possible today to tell those "back home” in America just a few of the details of how their troops safely passed the dangers of Germany's submarine war and are now safe and sound—and happy—on the soil which they will soon fight to free from the invader. All of the American troops which have so far arrived are now landed 'and in camp. Army officers of the United States contingent no less than of the French and British armies expressed the liveliest satisfaction at the business-like fashion in which the undertaking of disembarking the troops was accomplished. The moment the first transport was sighted, the army Y. M. C. A. hurriedly put a tent—on the very dock on which the men later landed. There were chairs and table and writing paper—and water. It was a popular place instantly. The Americans hurried to "get acquainted” just as soon as the detachments were dismissed ashore. One bronzed Clevelander—a new recruit —accosted a German prisoner working in the streets. The enemy prisoners had been watching the landing with far-seeing eyes. The Cleveland boy spoke a few brief phrases to him in German. , "You're an American," the German responded. "You're not coming here 1 to fight greasers now. You'll find this different." and he went on up the street. o AN APPEAL FOR MANY MORE MEN f* (Continued from Page One) work at the Fort Wayne station, was a most convincing speaker. Like Captain Miles Standish, of old, lie said he would rather fight than speak, but he proved nevertheless that r.e can speak on a most practical point in a most convincing way. Far more convincing than words, however, is the fact that he has given himself for service to his country; that he has given his only son for service to his country, as well as helping along with his money “The people of the country are not awake to its situation,” he said. "It will ta'-e some awful calamity to awaken them. They cannot realize the conditions of their war that is four thousand miles away." That five millions American ! young men will lie needed for this war. and that it is his belief that it will be necessary to draft men up to forty or forty-live years of age, before it is finished, was expressed. “This is not a moneyed man's war.” he cried “It is a war of democracy against autocracy. We need men, men men. on the battlefield, for it is there that the battle must be won, not only in (he trenches,” | He stated that the young Americans are very slow to answer the call for men. He gave credit to the state and to this district, however. Indiana and the Fori) Wayne district, of which Decatur is a part, sent more men. according to its population, than any other in the United States. Fort I Wayne has sent more men than any other city, New York and Chicago excepted. While, he stated, those wn > wait for conscription should not be ( ensured unjustly, because it is impossible for some to leave, unless abso-' lutely necessary, he spoke of the advantages gained by volunteering. Among these are the official positions open to volunteers; and the fact that one can go in company with friends' from his home town. j “if you don't get into the regular army, or into the national guard, cr into the cavalry or into the navy, for God's sake get into the game in some 1 place." were his closing words. Colonel Hawkins, a member of the governor's military staff, was unaole

• to be present and Major Somers, of i ■ Fort Wayne, took Ida place on the ‘ program, giving a very short addri stating that his talk, like that of Re'.. Marsh, would be short, as the points ■ had been covered by all the others. Music was furnished the occasion by a male quartet, including J. Q. Neptune. Dan Beery, Jesse Sellemeyer i a and llught Hite. Three autos from this city, with J. jW. Bosse and son. F. Davison. C. A. Dugan, Sim Burk, J. T.

June 30 (Special 'o I I Daily Dimocrat) Germany is striving deaparately today to retrieve on' I the French front an impending disasa er on the British front. ’ With the fall of Lens apparently now only a matter of days, the crown ’ prince has once more been entrusted ' with picked troops and prodigal supI I plies of ammipiition, to direct a drive 1 on Verdun. 1 1 Official statements reveal that this 1 stroke is of tremendous power. 1 ’ THE BEST DAIRY FEED 4 Made From Grain From Which the Human Food Values Have Been Taken, ‘l■ ■ - . ) By Prof. F. D. Fuller. [National Crop Improvement Benrice ] The reason why the best dairy 1 feeds are less expensive than the same! 1 grains on the farm is because the " principal elements of human food are i taken from these grains before they are ever made into feed. The byproducts of cereal mills, glucose sac- . tories, malt houses, etc., constitute . often more than 50 per cent of the . total bulk of mixed dairy feeds of the * better class. I These oats, barley and corn by-1 products are considered by experts in I animal nutrition as very valuable ■ feed materials. After these cereals are ground in the manufacture of alcohol, for which the use is growing more im- ■ portant daily in the arts, the solid ! residue is dried in vacuo, and is then known as "dried grains.” If made from corn, these grains contain on an I average of about 30 per cent crude protein and 10 per cent crude fat. If made from rye, while valuable, theyj are of somewhat lower feed value. I The barley residue contains over 70 per cent more crude protein than wheat bran and twice as much crude I fat. In fact, their food value is largely increased by the process. I All these products are widely used by the best dairy feeders and are re-, lied upon very extensively in milk production. There is no doubt of the fact that if the supply of these products were radically limited or entirely exhausted, it would have a serious effect upon the milk production throughout the country and the 1 dairymen would have one more burden added to their already overtaxed strength. Cottonseed meal is composed principally of the kernel, with such portion of the hull as is necessary in the manufacture of oil. Cottonseed meal, if choice, must contain at least 41 per cent crude protein. It is one of the richest of all feeds in this substance and carries about 8 per cent crude I fat. On account of its extreme concentration it can be fed only in limited quantities and always in conjunction with some products to furnish bulk. This meal is an important ingredient in many manufactured feeds. HOME MIXED FEEDS. (National Crop Improvement Service.] When a man undertakes to ipix his own rations, what does he do? He , buys straight feeds. Take cottonseed ; meal as a common example. There' are a great many different grades of cottonseed meal, and the man who is looking for a low-priced feed is sure to get a low grade. The demand for) cheap feeding ingredients has caused the quality to be gradually whittled' down. Consequently the farmer* nearly always works with feeds which are poorer than he believes them to bo. Ho does not get adequate state, protection because inspectors do not I go to a farmer's barn to draw sam-l pies, and even if they did. it would be* hard to get a complete chain of evidence. A farmer has no facilities for having his feed analyzed and he doesn’t know what he is working with. The analyses of mixed feeds costs about ten cents per ton, and if every farmer will read the various bulletins from the agricultural colleges he will soon know those brands which can be depended upon. There is no doubt that at the present prices of grain any farmer can save money by selling his cereal crops and buying mixed feed.f . * Cornmeal, oil meal and cottonseed meal are all high, but the by-products of barley and rye are all more reason-* able in price. Corn has become costly largely due to the demand for pork and beef. I ' Americans will have those meats at* almost any price. This puts corn on 1 a meat basis, and the dairy business' will have lo fall back on the by-prod-ucts cf trains.

LIVES CLOSE 10 ALL THE PEOPLE Greatness of Woodrow Wilson Seen In Handling Problem of the War. ABLE EXPONENT OF TRUE DEMOCRACY ' Claud G. Bowers, Editor of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. Speaks to Democratic Editor: of lnd'«"»I By Willis S. Thompson. Indianapolis, June 30. -A h ' culmination of one of the most molesting meetings ever held byte ><’’ ocratic editors of Indiana, » as .banquet Friday night. Cl»“ d ' 'Bowers, editor of the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette, was the prmcipa ( speaker. His address was a splendid I tribute to the administration and the , towering personality of Woo Wilson, the president who has successfully met more complex situations, iinvolving greater and more se..OJ- ! consequences, than any othei txecu ’live who ever presided over the nation. In part Mr. Bowers said: “We meet this year in the midst o the mightiest war that we have ever waged, for a greater stake than we have ever played —for the Jtion and the extension of the beneh'cent principles of democracy. During the last three years the responsible head of the American people has advanced every argument and irsorted to every plea in a patient effort -o J keep the sword within the scabbard. But when a little coterie of men, mis- ' representing, as I think, the peop e o I Germany, dared to violate our rights, degrade our dignity, destroy the lives of our people, and obstruct the pathI way of democracy, while presuming to put out the light of liberty, every militant page of our herioc history tried out in protest against the consumation of the crime. “I am one of those who are proud o. the fact that Wilson broke the pen I liefore he drew’ the sword. The page |of history will record no parallel to the ineffable patience with which he i faced the provocations of Berlin and ! ''ought for peace. And then, eonI fronted by the insufferable perfidy or stupidity of the junker crew, he faced the world that day in the senate chamber with the noblest anneal for >eace that has ever fallen from the lips of morial man. On that memorable occasion he not only made an utter.qjice that will rank in history as cne of the few immortal political pronouncements of all time, but he unfurled a banner that every devotee of liberty and democracy can follow with the sword. “History will dispute why Italy entered the war, why England entered the war, why Roumania entered the war, but thank God posterity will never be in doubt why America entered the war—and the answer is the matchless ‘notes’ of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson of the Sword. “And this the miracle—the moment ihe drew the sword the foremost champion of peace became the most virile, far-seeing, energetic, constructive militant figure that ever led America against a foe. “He had the courage to proclaim the passing, of the volunteer and to demand conscription that can reach the rich and poor alike, and make it possible to utilize the service of each' man where it can best contribute to the common cause. The protest of the slacker and the coward and victim of tradition beat against the stern, strong figure of Woodrow Wilson without avail—and now we have an army of a million in the making before whose tread the tyrants of the earth may tremble. “But that was not enough. We needed ships—our allies needed ships i that they might live until we can join their soldiers with our guns. Jror every ship that sinks before the torpedo of a submarine, another ship must be launched upon the sea. And , Woodrow Wilson —the dreamer, now the most virile and tremendous doer that ever led a people to the field of .battle —instantly summoned to his side the titan of the Panama canal, | and ordered him to build a thousand i ships and give them to the waves , and almost in the twinkling of an eye the gigantic genius of George Goei thals was bending to the task. I “Rut that was not enough. We needed food—our allies needed food. The fertile fields of France have sent their toilers to the trench to hold ; autocracy at bay. The men of the ; warring nations have been summoned ' to other fields than those that grow the grain. And the weary allied soldiers on the fields of France, and the civilian population behind the firing line, are more in fear of the lack of bread than the want of bullets. Every man throughout the world who is fighting and suffering tonight in the battle for liberty is looking to the vast and fertile fields that arc spread ! out to the sun and rain between our eastern and western seas. And Woodrow Wilson, the dreamer, now a doer, said to them; ‘“You give your shot and shell to the common enemy, and we will gi ve our corn and wheat to you.’ Hoover “Called.” “And that promise "carried, too. an- • other imperative, duty that Woodrow ■ Wilson met in the Woodrow Wilson way. He knew from historv of the gluttons of greed that fatten on the necessities of a state in the days of battle. He knew of th» buzzi’il,, ( -.f speculation that hover over the fi e ] ( ] where heroes light and die. He knew of tb® reptiles of gain that snaks H.i;,. way into the larders of the womenleft-

It requires billions of dollars to "nance the greatest fight in the histor) ot mankind for the greatest stake thm humanity has ever battled for sime the dawn of time. And Woodrow Wilson the dreamer, now a doer, had the courage and the genius to turn his back on the house of Morgan and hold forth his hands to the millions of the mine and factory and field. “God pity the man of such petty party spleen that he would withhold from the administration the meed of praise for determining to go directly to the people for the financing of the battle for democracy, “The Liberty Loan is the translation of the Declaration of Independence into the language of finance. “Because this war is for liberty and i democracy and not for gain. W oodrow Wilson said that no buzzards of greed, no mercenary dippers of coupons, no speculators on a nation’s necessities shall hover over the dead, and dying of the battle field and lick their chops in anticipation of their profits. And he went to the people for the loan—to the end that the people may reap the profit with the 10-s, And he made it easy for the man in the factory and mine to contribute to the loan and share in the profit. “Thomas Jefferson gave us political democracy; Woodrow Wilson has given us financial democracy. “Thomas Jefferson freed us from ) the kings of courts; Woodrow Wilson has freed us from the kings of the counting room. “Thomas Jefferson gave us liberty, 1 and Woodrow W ilson gave us opportunity. "Thank God for McAdoo.” “And Woodrow Wilson did something more—he gave us the greatest secretary of the treasury since Alexander Hamilton. “Thank God for a secretary of the treasury who has the genius and the courage to transfer the financial cap- j ital of the country front Wall street ■ to Washington. “Thank God for a secretary who is ’ not ashamed to place the bonds of the people in the hands of the grimy sons of toil. “Thank God for a secretary who fears no ridicule for going out among the masses and asking them to buv a bonu and iinowing them how it can be bought. “Thank God for a secretary who has more democracy than dignitv v couraßC than craft. ~ ’ es : , and I say it reverently, in 8 crisis of our history, thank’God or the genius, the energy, the grit and greatness of McAdoo * ’ Wilson—The Efficient. through WilMn was not forosfw . i Pn ’ c ® ns ’ructive mind ■ ' Note the intense activity and ! 1 unernng judgment of w’oodrow’w'iL ! staS Shi 3 buiWer ' an<l there' j looms Edsi 1 . an :nven tor- an d there ! ° f ‘ i “He needed a d 1S a Willariiutor of food—and* rt, tor anrt dirtribver 00<1 and there stands Hoo- ; ' ,ot ninating lCd afe n and Sf,lring i ' ,ash ing, l j the fields of Fiancn San , e ! ea<ler f or K I mat for Russia* and'h lla^ Or and din, o-' 1 »«>’ thought,' a« J Haniels-Lies Tri|th *‘°° t ' h CTeed ' a "7 Seir hP vii° P Pperh ' < ' a '!
