AMERICA MUST
FIGHT FOR ITS
LIBERTY-M'ADOO
Only Men With Yellow Blood
or Traitors Favor
Hollow Peace
By Associated Press
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 14.—Germany's
efforts to keep American ships off the 1
higrh seas through her ruthless sub
marine warfare was a direct blow
directed at the prosperity of Amer
ican farms and of American business.
Secretary M<?Adoo declared in his
Überty Day address here to-day. j
After reminding his hearers that I
America went to war in 1812 to vin- j
dicate her right to the freedom ot i
the seas and nad carefully maintained |
it since then, he continued:"
"Why is that right so essential to
America's life and security? It is >
because we have always produced
more than we can consume at home.
And the very prosperity of our peo
ple. their very life, in fact, depends
upon their ability at all times to sell
that surplus in the open markets ot
the world."
KnUcr >liletl
The Emperor Mas been leu
by disloyal people in this country to
believe that Americans never would
fight," Secretary McAdoo continued,
"and that any transgression of our
rights would bo met simply by pro
tests."
Had America submitted and kept
her ships off the s?as. discord and
discontent among American people
have followed. Mr. McAdoo
said, and the German Kmperor by one
stroke of his pen would have accom- .
plished "more destruction upon Amer
ican farms, in American manufac-
THE LAST EXAMINATION
OF WAR'S DRAFT
Many a man has fallen down be
cause a test of his water showed
unmistakably that he had kidney
disease.
The kidneys are the scavengers and ,
they work day and night in separat- :
ing the poisons from the blood. :
Their signals of distress are easily 1
recognized and include such symp
toms as backache, j
drowsiness .irritability, headaches, j
dizziness, rheumatic twinges, dropsy,'
gout.
"The very best way to restore the
kidneys to their normal suite of
health and cure such symptoms,"
says Dr. Pierce, of Invalids' Hotel,
liuffalo, X. Y„ "is to drink plenty of
•water and obtain freni your favorite
pharmacy a small amount of Anuric,
double strength, which is dispensed
by almost every druggist." You will
find Anuric more patent than lithia.
d.SFolves uric atid as water does,

the stories of helpless men and wom

By Associated Press
New York. Oct. 24. (Wall Street*

Pan-German Fingers
Itch For Holland Soil
By Associated Press
Copenhagen, Oct. 24.—The view of
Admiral Von Tirpitz, former German
jrrintster of marine, that the seizure
:of Belgium was the stepping-stone
Ito extending control over Holland
was proclaimed by Herr Bacmelster,
I the national liberal leader in the
j Reichstag, and one of the pan-Ger
| man stalwarts, In a speech delivered
Sunday at Hamburg. Quoting Von
Tirpitz, Herr Bacmeister said:
"If we control the Belgian coast
then the Netherlands will enter
into our concern. If England-Ameri
ca retain the coast in their hands,
the Hollanders will enter into their
concern."
It will be recalled that the late
General Von Bissingr, governor gen
eral in Belgium, in his memorandum
of Belgium also intimated the neces
sity of extending German sway over
parts of Holland In preparation for
Germany's next war.

RAILROAD
PENNSY TELLS
OF BIG LOSSES
Instructs Shippers to Use Bet-,
ter Judgment in Future;
Timely Bulletin
'
Philadelphia, Oct. "4.—How ship
pers of the Pennsylvunlu railroad can
aid in avoiding the waste and de
struction of more than $2,000,000
worth of freight every year is shown
In Loss and Damage Bulletin No. T
which has just been issued by the
company. The purpose of the bul
letin is to urge shippers to pack
their goods properly afid to use con
tainers that are strong enough to
stand transportation.
The value of freight Injured in
transit on the Pennsylvania railroad
hus doubled since the war. This is
due, in a very considerable extent,
to efforts on the part of shippers to
economize in the use of packing ma
terials, and to the use of weak or
second hand containers.
The bulletin is illustrated with a
series of photographs showing actual
examples of improper packing and
the collapse of weak containers. Ona
picture shows a shipment of axes,
which have broken through paper
boxes never intended to carry such
hardware. Another illustrates a dam
aged shipment of macaroni, which
had been* packed in light paper boxes.
Other pictures illustrate similar con
ditions encountered In shipments of;
| denim, cotton yarn, cotton piece!
goods and sheeting. The bulletin
says in part:
losses Increase
"Before the war, loss and dam
age on this railroad cost over a mil- 1
lion dollars a year. This year it will j
reach two million dollars. Such a I
waste is indefensible.
"You are not responsible for all,
this. We do some of it. That Is 1
the reason we want to co-operate;
with you to stop it. We are doing j
our best to handle your goods prop
erly, but it is hard to do when con
tainers are so light that they won't
hold together.
"You can help by:
"First—using stronger containers. 1
I Boxes should be strong enough to
I carry the commodity safely.
"Second —Packing your goods
properly.
| "Third —Crating your furniture!
I better.
"Fourth —Marking your goods!
plainly and removing all old marks, j
"We can appreciate your desire
for economy in packing your goods:
in these days of high prices for wood,'
nails, paper, etc.; but as he said be-!
fore, we believe if packages are pre-1
pared better it will save money for j
both of us."
Railroad Profits Less;
Show Need For Rate Boost
Washington, Aug. 24. August
railway net revenues, which will be
used by the railroads to support, their
claims for a rate Increase, were less,
by approximately $8,000,000 than in j
August, 1916. This reduction in in-1
come was shown in the face of an in
crease of approximately $38,000,000 i
in gross revenues. The figures cover
all roads in the country.
Eastern roads, the compilation
made public to-day by the Interstate
Commerce Commission, shows, fell
approximately $3,600,000 below net
income of a year ago: western roads i
had a decrease of approximately $2,- j
300,000 and southern roads a de- !
crease of about SIOO,OOO.
Gross revenues for all roads, the |
compilation shows, were $365,055.-.
298, as compared with $326,950,719;
a year ago, an increae of approxi- |
niately 13 per cent. Operating ex-:
penses, however, rose from $203,-
307.968. to $246,128,383, an increase!
of more than 20 per cent., leaving net!
revenues of $118,926,915, about $4.-1
700,000 less than a year ago.
Many Railroaders Coming
