WAR WORK OF KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS

The Knights of Columbus are organizing their forces in Indiana to ,participate in the national drive for $16,000,000 with which' to promote the organization’s war work at American camps and at the battle front in Europe, the fund asked of the Indiana public being $250,000 The campaign in this state starts May 5 and continues one week. General headquarters for Indiana are at the Claypool hotel, Indianapolis, and the committee in charge is made up of Madison Walsh, chairman, Indianapolis; Chas. M. Niezer, vice-chairman, Fort. Wayne; T. J. Connolly, secretary, Lafayette; William J. Mooney, treasurer, Indianapolis; William F. Fox, Indianapolis; A. J. Veneman, Evansville; Thomas D. McGee, Indianapolis. Stephen A. Callahan of Fort Wayne is campaign director. Where the state drives have been started over the country, the public response has been similar to that given the Red Cross, the Y. M. C. A. and other war welfare funds. In New York city, where $2,500,000 was sought, the Protestants, Catholics and jews have contributed nearly $5,000,000, one of the largest subscriptions being SIOO,OOO from the Rockefeller Foundation. The Knights of Columbus have been in the war work since the youth of America were called to the

colors. At its recreation centers in American camps, as well as in its huts in Europe, “Everybody welcome’’ has been the slogan sounded, countless thousands of boys in khaki, regardless of religious creed, are enjoying the hospitality, ,the comforts and the facilities the Knights of Columbus are offering them to keep up the spirits and morale of the fighting forces. The war work of the organization has grown amazingly and it is being expanded as rapidly as funds from the* public have been forthcoming. The $16,000,000 now asked for is to meet expenses of present activities and those in contemplation until July 1, 1919.

GOVERNOR’S PROCLAMATION

To the Women of the State of Indiana. In order that the United States Government imay know upon whom it may depend and the extent of its resources, should tho demands of the war necessitate the further participation of the women of America in the great struggle for human rights and civilization, it has asked each state to register its women population, with a statement of 'their qualifications and willingness for patriotic service. In Indiana this task will be undertaken, beginning on the anniversary of the historically significant battle of Lexington—April 19. It is hoped to have the work completed in ten days. We are trusting that the time will never come when the women will be called upon to bear more than a voluntary burden in their accustomed lines of service, but the government regards it as part of prudence to . bpprepared for any emergency, and for this reason it is taking a census of its women power, as it has taken a census of its man power. I, therefore, suggest in the name of Indiana’s proud record in the preparation for and 'participation in this world war, that the mothers, wives and sisters of our patriots who have offered their lives to their country, show a measure of appreciation of the duties devolving upon them by cheerfully assisting in making this registration a success I Anything short of success will be 'foreign to the Hoosier spirit and i will detract from the sense of security and support from' home to which our boys are entitled and I which they are going to secure. I The patriotic service of the women of America is important to the 'cause of Anterica in this present | time of peril and I know that the I women of Indiana will not shirk i their duty. JAMES P. GOODRICIH. Governor.

A review of the first year of operation of the Federal Farm Loan system shows that 2,808 national farm loan associations were incorporated, representing about four associations to each five counties in the United States. They average twenty members, or a total membership of 56,000 farmers. The twelve land banks have received applications for over 120,000 loans, amounting to about $300,000,000. About 80,000 loans, amounting to over $160,000,000, have been approved, and on 30,000 of these loans of over $80,000,000 has been paid to the farmers. L

Parents of soldiers in camps are warned by the War Department of a swindle -which has been successfully operated in various camps! A

telegram is sent informing that the soldier has a furlough, and requesting funds by wire to come home, waiving identification. The rest is a mere matter of detail. Parents and friends should be warned of this game and of the similar one where the telegraphic request is to mail money to the soldier, care general delivery.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

I hope the end of war is nearing; and w’hen the peace bells chime, the men enriched by profiteering will have a beastly time. Just now’, in all the hurly burly, they may put things across; by profiteering late and early, stack up a lot of dross. Just now they may be undetected, we have so much on hand, with countless problems unexpected to solve and understand. We are so busy chasing traitors, unearthing evil spies, we’re wearing, out our Sunday gaiters, and skip the cheaper guys. But soon or late they’ll all be spotted, no man can be exempt; and they’ll be beaten down and swatted by honest men’s contempt. The open foe may be forgiven, but pardon there’ll be none for him whose bargains all were driven to help out Number One. We may forgive the spy whose labors were by his king ordained; the work of one who bilks his neighbors can never be explained. When war is dope, and clouds have lifted, and Mars has sunk to sleep, we’ll see that all the goats are sifted and sorted from the sheep. Then happier the ragged pauper, without a coin in hand, than any man who thought it proper to cheat his native land.

SAYS HIT THE HUN BY BUYING BONDS

Major General Barry Says Aid Liberty Loan to Avert Indemnity Fund. By MAJ. GEN. THOMAS H. BARRY, [Former Commandant at Camp Grant, Rockford, lII.] Four years ago the German government started a war, which evidence makes certain had for its object the domination of the world, the crushing of democracy and the establishment of autocracy in its stead. Evidence of this far-reaching plot appeared as the war was prosecuted by the Germans with such lawless cruelty, that in an effort to parallel their inhuman savagery a shocked world has revived the mediaeval word “Hun.” The government of the United States observed neutrality until their sovereign rights were openly and contemptuously invaded. They were then called upon to decide whether to Surrender their rights and their liberty or to engage in war. Rightly they decided to engage in w’ar. That war is now in progress and it will be won by “hitting the Hun.” To hit the Hun, soldiers must go to the firing line in Europe, but that costs money, and if we are to “hit the Hun’’ from the firing line at the front there must be no faltering in the fund line at the rear. To prosecute the war successfully larger sums of money are needed by the government than it ever has heeded before. I have read an estimate that it costs a thousand dollars to shoot a Hun. To provide the stupendous total the government asks its citizens for a temporary loan of the cash they have to Invest. As security, it gives its promise to repay the full amount with a good rate of Interest. The promise to repay the amount borrowed constitutes the Liberty bonds. They are offered in denominations to suit all purses, and whoever subscribes to a Liberty bond is helping to “hit the Hun.”

A time will come when so many have been hit that just one more will constitute his defeat, the collapse of his government and the triumph of liberty. But the war will not be won until some one has hit this last Hun. So I beg every American who has in his heart a love for the liberty he enjoys and cash to invest to purchase Liberty bonds, and I urge every social club or society, every school, factory, department store, boy spout company and other organizations and individuals to form “Hitting the Hun clubs” and purchase Liberty bonds enough to take a shot at a Hun. It will give strength to the firing line to observe strength in the fund line, hud some one will have the honor of subscribing the fund that hits the last Hun and the w ar will be won. If we do not subscribe now 7 to the Liberty bonds, to win the war, we will be compelled to subscribe later to an indemnity fund for losing thp war.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

FOOD CONTROL MEANS VICTORY

European Shortage Places Problem Before American Government —Farsighted Policy Adopted. NEED 75,000,000 BU. WHEAT. Food Administration Asks Aid of Every American in Gigantic Task of Feeding Millions. It is the food problem over there that makes a food problem over here. If we wished to be supremely selfish—and supremely shortsighted—we could go on eating as much as we like and whatever we like, without much difficulty or interruption —at least, until the Germans came! But we are not doing things in that selfish and suicidal way. We are trying to make a great common pool of all of our food, and all of the food of the allies, and all of the food we can get from South American and other neutrals, and dividing it up fairly among America, England, France, Belgium and Italy. This does not mean that ail of the people in the great pool are going to have the same ration, but means that we are trying to arrange to have enough for everybody, so that the soldiers—our soldiers and their soldiers—will be well fed, as they have to be to fight hard and continuously, and that the munitions workers and the workers in all the other necessary industries, and the men and women at home will all hare enough to keep alive and well. It is absolutely necessary to do this if the war is to be won, and we are going to do it, but it means planning, working, arranging, co-oper-ating, being careful, not wasting, saving. And it means that each and every one of us has got to help. Now, we have enough and more than enough food for ourselves, and the Government la going to see to it that we keep here at home a sufficient sup ply of every essential kind of food to support our people. But over there they simply have not enough. Lord Rhondda, the English food controller, recently cabled the American food administrator, that unless we can send the allies before the next uropean harvest 75,000,000 bushels of wheat in addition to what had been sent up te January 1 of this year he could not assure the people of the allies that they would have a sufficient supply of food to carry on the war. He did not say anything in this cable about the other food necessary, but be has told of these needs tn other cables —and by his actions in England. For example, his latest regulation compels a reduction of meat eating in the United Kingdom to a maximum of one pound per week per person, th It pound including the bone and other waste parts In the meat as bought in the shop. The allies must have more wheat, more meat, more fats, more dairy products, more sugar. Their barvests were very short —France had less than hall her normal crop of -wheat —and tha available shipping is small in amount and constantly being lessened by submarines, so that it is now practically Impossible to use any ships for the long voyage necessary to bring food from Australia and other remote markets. The food must come chiefly from America. In specific figures it Is necessary for us to send to the allies 1,100,000 tons of foodstuffs a month. This Is a groat responsibility and • great problem. The food must ba found, and also the ships to carry It It Is being done, but can only continu* to be done by the help and full co operation of all of us over our broad land. We must produce and save more. To supply the wheat necessary until the next harvest, we must reduce our consumption by from one-fourth to one-third; we must cut down our usual average consumption of meats and fats by from 10 to 15 per cent and dairy products by about 10 per cent Over there they are tightening their belts and doing everything they can. They are eating war bread; they are cutting down their sugar in England to two pounds per person per month, an d in France and Italy to one poundhow much are you eating?—and they are using ration cards for most of the staples. We must meet sacrifice with sacrifice. If we don't, we are helping to lose the war instead of helping to win it.
