ONLY SMALL PART OF HUN CRUELTY HAS JEEN TOLD Congressman Timber lake Says America Has Only Begun to Sacrifice. Not one-fiftieth part of the devastation of Belgium and France, and the atrocities committed against the people of those countries by the Huns, has been told in America, Congress

man C. B. Timberlake of Colorado, who recently visited the war zone to in-1 vestigate conditions, said in an address at the high school auditorium Friday night. "I talked with King Albert of Belgium," the speaker said.. "and he told me of outrages committed against his people that are too terrible to repeat. There is not much left of Belgium, but her brave soldiers are fighting on in the allied cause." His trip through the allied countries taught him that the people of England and France and Belgium are heart and sold in the war, Mr. Tlmberlake said. Titled women are working in the munitions factories in England, and are doing other meial work, with the only though of winning the war. When he visited the House of Parliament, he said, he was impressed by the fact that one-third of the members of that body attended the session in uniform. England Was Not Prepared. "I had thought," the speaker said, "that England was a little slow in getting into the war, and had felt that she left the brunt of that opening assault to Belgium and France. But after I visited the country and talked with the people I understood. England, like America, was not prepared for war. When Germany moved against Belgium. Britain had only a small standing army of 160.000, and this arm was

scattered about over her insular flat u e kn,ed ,3 eaten; In the

Field shooting is food conservation! 1 This statement is not based upon throwing down the bars for the indiscriminate slaughter of game in the future. It is claimed by some newspaper writers that the use of ammunition for field and trap shooting should be tabooed by the government.

An assertion without a thought. The United States Federal authorities have endorsed trap shooting to the extent of placing traps and targets In the cantonments and ground schools cf aviation, furnishing shotguns and ammunition that our boys in khaki may be taught the art and science of wing shooting, which spells in large leters ACCURACY. Had this idea of marksmanship been generally - adopted in

municipalities, there would have been a great saving of time, which is the most salient factor in the' winning of the world's war. My proposition is that shotgun ammunition utilized for field use, helps to conserve beef, pork, mutton, and other meats, of which at this writing there is a marked shortage reported, both for home and foreign consumption. Think of the ultimate results if manufacturers of sporting amunltion were forbidden th3 right to manufacture by the government. What It Means. . No ducks, rabbits, squirrels, deer or other large game killed, except by marauding animals. In some sections of the United States game is the only meat diet available for the settlers, as their eattle are placed upon the market as a means of sustenance. They would be forced upon a beef diet and that available product would

farther be curtailed, to the extent of their consumption. At this day and

, "Now England has sent a fighting force of 3.000,000 men to .France, and has 2.000,000 more training In camps in England. And the people are In the war to win it." In France the same bravery and determination Is met the congressman said. Women and old men work in the factories and In the fields. "All the young men of France have gone to the army. The man power of France is exhausted. The country has supplied an army of 7,500,000 men out of a population of 39,000,000. and out of this number 2,500,000 have been killed or wounded. "America does not know yet what sacrifice means," continued the speaker, "if you had seen, as I have the willingness of the people or France and England to work and sacrifice In order that the war may be won, you would realize what a little bit it i3 yet that you have been called upon to do." ' ' The allies are appreciative 6f the aid rendered by the United States, accordins; to Mr. Timberlake, and in England the congressmen of the party were urged to talk to the people of England and make them understand the vast resources of the country that had com to the aid of the allies. Albert Expresses Appreciation. The King of Belgium personally expressed his appreciation of the "magnificent manner in which America had come to the aid of the Belgians." The trip to the battle zone was made in military automobiles supplied by the French government, and accompanied by a representative of the government. The work o.the Red Cross is doin3 much to keep up the morale of the allied armies, Mr. Timberlake stated, nnd the courage shown by the Red Cross workers is as great as that of any soldier In the trenches. The speaker urged the people of the United States to support the coming Red Cross war fund drive for the sake of the millions of American soldier who will soon be In France, as well as ihf soldiers of our allies.

"You ask me when the war will be over." he concluded, "and I can only pay that it will be over when the present German government is overthrown. When that will be no one knows. We nr" fighting a very strong foe, and we must send very large forces over .there to accomplish the end for which we are striving." George Cock. Avintor. is Killed in Accident EATON.

meat There will always be some tarritory in every locality, where ane aui all are at liberty to shoot in the open. Those who have purchased or leased preserves are public benefactors to the populace and bird life, when they establish sanctuaries In the connfies of their clubs where the migratory birds are permitted to remain in a haven of rest, undisturbed byt the outside populace or their own members. For the time of the war, a-very liberal construction should be put on law restrictions, imposed during the open season, that food conservation of meats may fce in a measure tempered by the kiling of game. Marshall's Answers to Nimrods

QuestienIs the United States Government teaching trapahooters in the camps in France; if so, where? What is the object of teaching trapshooting: there are no Boches flying over the trenches. Charles Menchening, St Louis .Mo.

Answer Trapshooting, which being!

Interpreted is the art of being able to accurately estimate and conect with flying objects, a science known in field days as wing shooting. -The United States Government . is .introducing trapshooting and having members of the American Aviation Section taught the science of leads, angles, velocity, concentration and acuracy, somewhere In France. Two million targets and loaded shells for shot guns were shipped across several months since. Every pilot of the air is being intensively taught wing shooting as their defense or attack-, is at all times against rapidly . moving objects. You are very much mistaken when you assert that no Bosches are flying 6ver the trenches. Aerial maneuvers are now a wonderful factor in modern warfare as you wil note in the present battles on the western front. Expert wing shots who can estimate dlstanee, velocity and height are useful both in the air and on the ground. Every man In khaki is now being taught the use of fire arms; they will return home a nation of expert marksmen. This

wil make trapshooting in the world of

AFTER THREE YEARS Many men and women are sick and don't know It. Some never discover they have kidney trouble until they apply for life insurance. The kidneys are working all the time, filtering poisonous waste out of the blood stream, and when they become weakened or deranged, backache, pains In sides and KioinK. so-called rheumatism, languidrieis, swollen Joints and other symptoms develop.

compatible with consistent protection and propogation of game. In a recent issue of "Arms and Explosives" published in London, England, the following statement is made: "There is an entire shortage of shotgun ammunition in England. The pheasants are so numerous that they have become a great menace to the autumn sown corn. It is now against stringent English laws to feed or permit the feeding of birds upon the corn raised in that country, as it is claimed that much valuable food is running to waste. Farmers Get Permission. Permission has been granted farmers, who seldom go afield in search of game, to protect their1 crops by destroying the birds. Trapping has not proven at all successful hence they have multiplied and are running at large. Hedge shooting and the accompanying feature of sport connected with the killing of pheasants, necessitates propogation at times. Game preservation forms a necessary limb of agriculture, though everybody admits that the needs of the fighting forces must receive first consideration in all departments of consumption." Numerous petitions for ammunition to kill off the superfluous game have been sent to the government headquarters, without response as yet. Game on the preserves of Old England has so materially Increased, due to cessation of shooting by Government edict, "the birds have become a menace to the crops." To the Doubting Thomas or anti-game protectionist

this should be an object lesson. The cessation of spring shooting, as required by Federal statutes, will be the means of increasing and perpetuating the migratory birds. Give People a Chance. Conditions and environments in England are not conducive to rapid game increases, yet under intense protection, absence of sportsmen and lack of ammunition, game is now talked of as a menace and a reserve food supply. When food is so badly needed, give the people a chance to secure in the fall, or during the open season, a supply of game even beyond the point of close conservation, according the right to distribute a little more

generously. Learn-to-shoot schools be established in every municipality. This would enable all to get their proportion of game afield allotted them by legal restrictions. Intense shooting training should be the slogan. Men, women and Boy Scotlts should be taught to., accurately shoot. Men taught at home are conserving the most important angle of the world's war time. Women when taught to shoot become personal defenders and guardians of their homes. The Home Guard should be educated to handle and teach the art of shooting; they will be the home dependance in case of riot or invasions. Bdy Scouts should be immediately taught the use and handling of fire arms. This is no time to educate them with the staff. A boy of sufficient age to become a Scout, is old enough to be very receptive of fire arm training. Hundreds of people are hurt through ignorance and Carelessness in the use and handling of fire arms, where one person is injured through the "fault of the gun." With each and every ane the knowledge of fire arms is a guarantee of safety o self and companions. Learn to Shoot. Ammunition consumed in learning to shoot is a government asset; don't procrastinate, take out adltlonal life insurance, by acquiring the shooting art and being able to protect yourself, home and loved ones. The migratory game laws of this country is the property of the common people, which is protected, preserved and propogated, that it may increase and add to their culinary requirements. Laws are enacted giving the right to one and all, under certain restrictions, to kill and enjoy the eating of game during prescribed open seasons. This at the present time

the Misjssippi

River with its adjacent swamps was the greatest duck shooting ground in the world. Would I find the sania good shooting there now should I return in duck season? John Miller, Harrlsburg, Pa. Answer Should you return to your old haunts along the Mississippi River, near Davenport the Meredosia Swamps or New Boston bayous, you would be very much disappointed in the duck shooting. All swamp lands are reclaimed, drained and fields of

waving corn now stand where In your

days the muskrat built his home enjoying life in the swamps ocasioned by

the back water or overnow oi uie Father of Waters. Very little duck hunting is now enjoyed along the Mississippi River at the present writing.

There's more to this patriotic movement than some people realize. It's a three-fold benefit to Uncle Sam, to your own home and to yourself. Uncle Sam gets the full use of every transportation facility to move troops if you "Trade at Home." Your home town gets the use of your money for all sorts of civic improvements if you "Trade at Home." And you save time, inconvenience, delays and money by patronizing home industries in this "Trade at Home" patriotic movement. Think a while and join the cause. It's the proper thing to do right now."
