MUSCLE, NOT GOLD
NEEDED TO WIN
WAR-GEN. KUHN
Commander of Pennsylvania
Selected Men Sees Big
Job Ahead
Camp Meade. Admiral, Md„ Sept. 28.
—"Muscle and not money wins wars.
It will win this war, too. Feace may
drop upon us as suadenly as the war
started. But to suck our thumbs and
talk peace is the veriest nonsense.
We want to get the muscle of the
country down to business and forget
the beautiful Idea that billions in
gold will win the war. It won't and
it never did. if I had one ton of gold
In this cantonment I couldn't kill a
single German, nor can 1 choke one
of them to death with a ten-dollar
bill."
In this manner Major General
Joseph E. Kuhn, commanding the
Seventy-ninth division of the National
Army, broke his silence on the as
pects of the great war to-day. Gen
eral Kuhn knows more about the
actual conditions in Germany than
any other military man in the nation.
He was attache during the tenure ol
Ambassador Gerard, and followed the
German armies in the Held as ob
server for tho United States.
"There is only one way to make
war. It 's to constitute a centralize!
lower and jiuthority and slve It tho
right to say to each man, woman and
child, you must do your part.' If 1
had a walled city of 10,000,000 per
sons I could burn up every dollar in
the plaeo and still make war. • All
that I would need would be the right
to aay to 100,000 men. 'You get Into
the field with the rille and the guns.
To another 100,000, You get into the
factories and keep the men at the
front supplied.' To another 100,000,
'You get into the field and grow the
crops to feed the rest.' To another
100,000, 'You make the clothing'; an
other 100,000. "You make the shoes
and the manufactured goods'; and so
on until every person was doing
something. That's the way real war
is made."
"What is you opinion. General, of
the actual conditions abroad?" he was
asked.
Germany at I.lmlt of Power
"1 believe that Germany has
reached the limit of her manpower
and Is now on the wane. France has
more than reached her limit and can
not be any stronger; England, too,
1 believe, is as strong as she can hope
to be. 1 think that the United States
is the great reserve manpower for
all her allies. 1 know that German)'
was forced to sacrifice her labor and
muscle in order to keep satisfactory
force on all the fronts. This took
men from the fields and the factories
ar.d the forms.
"Peace may come upon us as sud
denly as the war broke out. There

FRIDAY EVENING,
la plenty of peace talk around, but 11
pay scant attention to any of It. So
much depends on Internal conditions
in the belligerents. All the nations
ar war want peace,
i "But It Is not for us to suck our

! b.-jng peace, tor It will not. The way
| open to peitL'e is to get into the lleld
as hard, and as strong, and as real.
las we can. 1 don't suppose that tho
United States can reach tne full limit
| of her strength in the Held for a year
—possibly as long as It took Eng
land.
All Ages Work
"Germany has been forced to com
pile statistics showing how a six
year-old child and a seventy-year-old |
man can work. The child may pick |
up some of the things that are needed
in warfare, while tne old gentleman
wraps it up. That is the ueruiati sys
tem. To make war everybody con
tributes. But even with all these in
tensive preparations Germany ) as not
been able to keep her manpower be
hind thu lines aole to maintain the
same standards of lite and feeding
that she had at the start of the war.
It is the one thing which she failed
thing that must militate against her
thing tha tmust militate against her
long continuance of war.
"England has realized that she
must Conserve and utilize her muscle
to the limit of her power, and in this
she is only following Germany. We
have decided to utilize our muscle,
mind you, to every end. because we
have learned from Germany that that
is the war to make war.
"The entire question of the dura
tion of this war depends entirely on
how long the apparent unity between
the German people and their govern
ment is maintained. If the Kalser
can withstand the onslaughts of hun
ger in his empire, and the people are
willing to sulTer In the future as they
have in the past, to draw In thoir
bells another notch or two as the
occasion demands, then the Germ in
people can tight for some time to
come.
"But prophecies of peace are en
tirely speculative. They arrive at
nothing definite. An internal revolt
in Germany may come and then again
it may never occur. Our best plan is
to think in terms of war and let
ptace take its own course."
Survivor of Submarine
Attack Enlists in Navy
at N. Y. Recruiting Otlice
Herman J-,. Lturec, twenty years
of age, from Birmingham, Ala., walk
ed aboard the U. S. S. Recruit in
Union Square at live o'clock Tuesday
afternoon and said he wanted to en
list in the United States Navy. While
he was being examined by Surgeon
J. J. Kaveney he casually remarked
that he had the experience of sub
marine gun lire during the past
summer . Duree had snipped from
Portland, Maine, last June on the
Norwegian tanker, "Kongsli" bonnU
lor Rotterdam. On the return trip
in the tnird week of August, out four
days, from the coast of Rotterdam, at
live-thirty in the morning three shots
were sent across the bow of tlie
tanker. Ouree said:
"1 was on watch on the hurricane
deck. The weather was clear and
calm. No warning was given except
the three shots. Twenty more were
tired and in ten minutes we were
sunk. The crew of 28 took to the
three bouts and immediately the sub
marine arose and came within Hfty
yards of us. This was the conversa
tion the Captain of the submarine
had with our skipper. It was all in
English with no trace of German
accent."
" 'How long have you had this
ship?' said the submairne captain.
"'A year and a half,' answered
our skipper.
" 'Where was she bi4lt?' he asked.
" 'Baltimore,' was the reply.
" 'What kind of a crew have you?'
" 'Mixed. Danish, Swedes and Nor
wegians.'
" 'Any Americans?'
" 'None.'"
According to Dupree the captain
of the tanker asked for a tow and he
was told that an English cruiser
would be along in the morning. The
next, day the cruiser came along but
paid no attention to the men, it being
a rule of the British admiralty not
to pick up life boats. After flound
ering in the rough sea with no ra
tions but a few biscuits and very lit
tle water the men finally landed at
St. Nazares, France.
Dupree has been three years at
sea having shipped from Norfolk. Yu
He was educated in the public
schools at Birmingham. He was
sent to the training station at New
port.
Oid-Fashioned Gold
Wedding Ring Is Passe
St. Eouis.—To follow some styles
is an easy matter. A certain kind of
:iat, a cloak, a pair of high heeled
<hoes and a parasol—and there you
ire. To be de riguer in the jewelry
tine, according to delegates to the
nternational jewelers' convention, in
session here recently, is more difficult.
From the most practical stand
point, one expert declared, trinkets
that a woman requires before she
nay consider herself wnhin the in
ter circles of the elect In dress in
•lude a watch bracelet "to cost S3O,
an ornately tailored $lO handbag
tnd a sls cameo brooch. For an
ifternoon or reception dress, a SSOO
a\alllere should be worn, or, in lieu
it this, a S3OO diamond brooch, a
51,000 flexible platinum bracelet or
jther gems of similar value. A S3OO
linner ring, a SSOO solitaire and a
?old meshbag, to <;ost about SSO, are
jther earmarks suggested for the
women who wants to be regarded as

According to this expert, to be well
iressed Is not only to be well gowned,
!>ut also to be well Jeweled. The ex

Farmers Feeding
Wheat to Stock
Oklahoma City, Okla. Accord
ing to reports received by President
Frank Gasult of the State Board of
Agriculture from county agents,
farmers in northwestern Oklahoma
are feeding wheat to animals and
rattle rather than sell it at what they
consider low prices. Corn is worth
$2.25 a bushel in Oklahoma, while
wheat is bringing from SI.BO to
$1.95.
County agents report that in some
counties, from 200 to 400 bushels of
wheat are being fed to livestock
each week, the farmers Riving the
reason that it is-the cheapest grain
that they can feed. The matter has
been called o the attention of Chair
man Adoylotte of the State Council
of Defense, who says that there
seems to be nothing state authorities
can do, but he believes that it is a
question within the jurisdiction of
