Walcott, a member of the food itdinlnlsi r.itioii. and during the time America was feeding the civilian populations of i.clginm, Serbia and northern France an assistant of Mr. Hoover in those invaded countries, lias pictured in a graphic "ay the conditions he found aiming the people it was his duty to help. After describing the terrible conditions in Poland in 1910, the millions that were d.ving of starvation, (lie hundreds of thousands of defenseless people that hud been ruthlessly cut down by the sword of the German conr queror, he says: In that situation, the German commander issued a proclamation. Every Pole was hidden to Germany to work. If any refused, let no other Pole give him to eat, not so much ns a mouthful, under penalty of German military law. This is the choice the German government gives to the conquered Pole, to the husband and father of a starving family: Leave your family or die or survive as the case may be. Leuve your country which is destroyed, to work in Germany for its further destruction. If you are obstinate, we shall see that you surely starve. Staying with liis folk, lie is doomed and they are not saved ; the father arid husband can do nothing for them, he only adds to their risk and suffering. Leaving them, lie will he cut off from his family, they may uPver hear from him again nor lie from them. Germany will set him to work that a German workman may be released to light against his own land and people. lie shall be lodged in barracks, behind barbed wire entanglements, under armed guard. lie shall sleep on tin hare ground with a single thin blanket. He shall he scautily fed and his earnings shall he taken from him to pay for his food. That is the choice which the German government offers to a proud, sensitive, people. Dealli or slavery. When a Pole gave me that proclamation, I was boiling. But I had to restrain myself. I was practically the only foreign civilian in the country and I wanted to get food to the people. That was what I was there for and I must not for any cau-- o jeopardize the undertaking. I asked Governor General von Beseler, ran this lie true? Really, I cannot say, lie replied. I have signed so many proclamations; ask General Von Kries. So I asked General von Kries. General, this is a civilized people. Can t Ills be true? Yes, lie said, it is true yitli an air of adding, Why not? I dared not trust myself to speak ; I turned to go. Wait, lie said. And lie explained to me how Germany, official Germany, regards the state of subject peoples. It is hard for us to Imagine such a nlcott condition in America as Mr. lias described us existing in Poland, imd yet that is jut "hat would exist should our hoys, and the boys of our allies, now lighting in France fail to defeat the soldiers of this murder empire. This fair country of ours would lie made into a German province; our people would he the slaves of the Junkers of Germany, subject to the beastly whims of the officers of the German army. In no war in which America 1ms ever cn- gaged have the stakes been so great as in this piVsent conflict.

"You might have knocked him down and been British, said the man who turned him over to the firing squad, "but not the rest of it."
