WAR TALKS By UNCLE DAN Number Three How War Methods Have Changed Everybody Must Help. “Hello, Uncle Dan, Jimmie and I have been waiting for you.” “Sorry If I have kept ybu long,” said Uncle Dun. “Your mother has been telling me how bashful X used to be. She said If a girl spoke to me I would blush to my hair roots. Well, I re minded her of the time your father first came to see her and the joke we played on them, so I guess that will hold her for a while." Continuing, Uncle Dan said: ‘‘You want to talk more about the war, do you? Well, war methods have under gone many changes uud they are still changing. No two wars are fought alike. In early times, the weapons were stones, clubs, spears, bows and arrows, swords, etc. In this kind of warfare, victory was with the strong right arm. Men of enormous size and strength were the great warriors. The inven tion of gunpowder, however, has changed all this. It has enabled men to kill one another at a considerable distance, and do it wholesale. The war, as we know It now, is a combina tion of chemicals, machinery, mathe matical calculations and highly trained men. Just think of it! Airplanes, submarines, armored tanks, or cater pillars, poison gases, and curtains of lire are all used for the first time in Ibis war; and they are destructive be yond anything heretofore known. “The method* followed by the kai ser and his allies are simply devilish, lie must answer in history to the kill ing of thousands of innocent women and children, lie has broken every International law and every rule of warfare; be has bombarded hospitals and undefended cities, sunk Red Cross ships on errands of mercy; he has de stroyed cathedrals and priceless treas ures of art that can never be replaced; he has made slaves of hts prisoners; he Ims tried to get us into war with Japan ; his emmissaries have biown up our ships, burned our factories and fired our forests. He knows no mercy or honor. The most charitable view to take of this blood-thirsty tyrant is that he is crazy. “One thing is certain.” continued Un cle Dan, with great emphasis, “Our liberty, the safety of our homes and our country, and the security of the world demand the speedy and abso lute overthrow of the kaiser and crushing out once and forever the reign of Prnsslan brutality.” “How about the German people,” said Biliie. Uncle Dan replied: “The splendid German people were happy, thrifty, prosperous and contented. They have !:;><’u tricked into war and made to suffer the tortures of the damned; they have been cruelly and systematic ally deceived. God grant that the real facts may get to them, and if they do, Lord help the kaiser 1” “Of course the allies will win,” said Mrs. Graham. “Probably so,” said Uncle Dan. “But if we are to win, we must go the limit. We must check the awful destruction to shipping by the Herman submarines, or we may not be aide to get food and supplies to our own men and to our al lies; we must also put hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions, of first-class soldiers in the battle line. "Food Is the first consideration,” Un cle Dan continued. “No army can hold out against hunger. It has been said that food will win the war, and this is largely true. Hence the importance of the farm in the war plans of our country.” Mrs. Graham interrupted by saying: ‘ In view of the importance of farming, don’t you think, Daniel, that the farm ers ought to be exempted from war service ?’■ “No, a thousand times no,” said Un cle Dan, striking the table so hard to emphasize his protest that he tipped . over a vase of flowers. “We must have no class legislation. The duty to l serve is the common duty of ail, and no class must be relieved of this ob ligation. The question of exemption must be a personal one and decided by the facts surrounding each ease. In no other way can we have a square cleat, ami to insure thru it is the duty of tor.gr.' to pass Pilau ’? the Chamberlain bill, or some such meas ure, which is fair to all classes. It would settle all these questions anil do it fairly. Safety now and safety hereafter demands such legislation, and let me suggest that you and your friends get busy with your congress man and senators and urge them to prompt action. “It is time for us to realize that we are not living in a fools’ paradise; that this great country of ours cost oceans of blood and treasure and it is "• due tv> the *riHce and V.- iiTCfrt-ujnSff. wo HCA To All Ford Owners: We are now prepared to sell you Gasolene.
