COMPLIMENTS TO THE KAISER.
Cordova has the opportunity of pay
ing its compliments to the Kaiser in
the form of 71 sixteen inch shells to
be delivered by Cordova hoys now
serving in France.
One sixteen inch shell costs Uncle
Sam $ 1.000 when it is ready for our
boys to deliver to the Huns. Uncle
Sam has fixed Cordova's quota in the
Fourth Liberty Loan at not less than
871.500. and we are going to buy that
much and more.
When we have done our part we
will have provided the 71 sixteen-inch
shells for our boys to send on their
way that they may add speed to tile
heels of the retreating ileitiies.
To think of Liberty bonds as shells
gives us an idea of what we can do
ill this war. These Cordova shells
can create a veritable hell in the
•auks of a Hun army. They Can carry
eath and destruction to those who
uvi been responsible for the devas
tatlon of the world. They can destroy
the trenches that are shielding the
murderers of French and Belgian chil
‘dten. and the ravlshers of French and
Belgian women. They can destroy
the machine gun nests of the Huns
front which they are shooting our
Cordova boys. They will, in fact, bring
the war nearer to that victorious end
for which we are all waiting
Surely Cordova will pay for 71 and
more sixteen-inch shells by buying its
quota and more of the bonds of the
Fourth Liberty Loan.

THE ENEMY IS STAGGERING
General Feyton C. March, chief of
staff, thus describes the Germans'
(list great defeat:
“A great war is not to be won by
half measures. Relentless pursuit or
the enemy, blow upon blow, until he
cries quits, is the task to which the
United States, in conjunction with its
allies, is inflexibly committed It is
the most economical and the most
merciful policy possible, for it will
shorten the struggle and save both
lives and money.
"The enemy is staggering under his
first large defeat. His colossal con
ceit is jarred. The thing to do, there
fore, is to hit again, each time harder
than the time before. This requires
man-power. This is the reason why
we have called for the registration of
more men to the age limit in both j
directions. It Is our best guaranty of
success, and it will mean to the enemy
the certainty of speedy downfall. We
have the money, the men. the tools
and the courage necessary to win, and
I am sure it is the will of the nation
to use all four without stint. To the
men who have gone overseas we owe
enough men to crown their valor with :
decisive triumph as quickly as possi
ble.”

TO INSURE A SAFER WORLD
Since the beginning of our govern
meat it has been the law of this conn
try that every able-bodied male citi
zen and declarant between Ik and 4.7
is subject to be summoned to its tie
fen sc
The occasions have happily been
rare when such a summons has hud
to he issued We face the need now
Over lo.nnii.noo of our men of tight
ing a';" have already registered for
selection for service (tut of this nnm
her many have been chosen, trained
and sent to battle across the sou.
while others are in training or on the
way. They have made us very proud
of them, these splendid soldiers, and
some have already given their lives
for us. We shall not fail to support
them and to reinforce them.
The remaining 13.000,000 are now
called upon to register for selection.
The only purpose of this extension
of the selective service law is to
bring a speedier end to the war and
to insure a safer world for our chil
dren.
Since the enemy has compelled the
arbitrament of force, force let it be,
force overwhelming. The registration
of the entire man power of the United
States will bo our unmistakable pledge
to humanity that democracy is to be
the regime of the futuro.

Every American Must Do His Part in
Providing Essentials for War
By CLARENCE OUSLEY, AuuUnt Secretary ol Agriculture
American farmers will not need outside help to
feed themselves, and it is time for city consumers in
.the United States to take some concern for their own
Sf ^ 9 ..
J' The time has come when hy public opinion or by
local law, state and municipal, hut most important of
all hy the example of men of affairs who arc the leaders
in their communities, every able-bodied mail must he
( persuaded to cease doing things that women can do
i as well or things that are unnecessary from the stand
point of war and needful business activities. In a
time like tills no man has a moral right, whatever his fortune may be,
to en pliiv another man to rentier any service of mere comfort or conven
ient when the finest young men of the United States are in France dig
gir ditches, sailing timber, laying rails anti playing with death, and
wile 1 the finest young women of the United States are scrubbing floors
in hospitals, and it is a sin that almost approaches the unpardonable
offense against civilization for any man or woman in the United States
to engage in a wasteful or unnecessary service.
Nor can we afford to hope for the starvation of the central powers.
While the German conquest of Russia and the Balkan states has inter
rupted agriculture, which will not recover its normal activity this year,
it cannot he doubted that the central powers will gain from these con
quered lands enough food to sustain them another year, and unless there
is counter-revolution beyond any present prospect the supplement of food
from these countries will increase from time to time. Unless Germany
has lost her genius for agricultural efficiency her experts are right behind
her armies in the conquered territory furnishing expert information and
stimulation and holding out to the impoverished peasants promises of
high prices and prosperity beyond anything they ever experienced.
Responding to the appeals of the government and accepting the advice
of the department and the land-grant colleges as to the crops needed, and
giving the least concern to the crops that seemed to the individual farmer
to promise the greatest profit, the farmers of the l nited States have
put under the plow this year more land than Was under the plow last
year, and if the weather continues favorable hut one thing can prevent
tho continuance of food sufficiency. That one thing is farm labor.
The farmers have planted the crops. God has sent the sunshine and
the rain to make them grow. The farmers alone cannot harvest the crops.
We must have the crops. What are we going to do about it?
We have got to strip for war as England, France, Italy and Belgium
have stripped. We cannot win the war and maintain peace-time habits
and conveniences. We cannot win it hy depending upon the men, women
and children who are now on the farms and who are working from day
light to black dark.
I^ast year in many agricultural regions where ordinary farm labor
was not available on call the people of the towns and cities closed their
stores and shops and offices for a day at a time or for such u time as was
necessary and saved the crops. By concert this can he done anywhere
without material loss to any business or any industry.
Unselfish service is the imperative demand of the hour.
