Advancement HYRUM STATE SS Save For War Purposes The following Is a statement ly F. who served ns an assistant to Mr. Hoover during the time America was doing all that was possible to feed the starving millions of pd Pofcind and northern Belgium France. In this work he was brought in direct contact with German military officials, and saw the conditions which the Gorman invasion had created among the civilian population: I went to Poland to learn the facts concerning the remnant of a people that had been decimated by war. The country had been twice devastated. First the Russian army swept through it and then the Germans. Along the roadside from Warsaw to Iinsk, the present firing line, 230 miles, nearly half a million people had died of hunger and cold. The way was strewn with their bones picked clean by the crows. With their usual thrift, the Germans were collecting the larger bones to be milted into fertilizer, but finger and toe bones lay on the ground and with the clothing Wicker baskets were scattered rdong the way the basket in which the baby swings from the rafter in everjj peasant home. Every mile there were scores of tlin, each one telling a death.

They told rne a million people were made homeless in six weeks of the German drive in August and September, 1916. They told me four hundred thousand died on the way. The ..rest, scarcely half alive, got through with the. Russian army. Many of these have been sent to Siberia; it is these people whom the Paderewski committee is trying to re. lieve. In the refugee camps, 300,000 survivors of the flight were gathered by the Germans, members of broken families. They were lodged In jerry-buiunbarracks, scarcely water-proolighted, unwarmed in the dead of winter. Their clothes, where the buttons were lost, were sewed on. There were no conveniences, they had not even been able to wash for weeks. Filth and infection from vermin were spreading. They were famished, their daily ration a cup of soup and a piece of bread as big as my fist. In Warsaw, which had not been destroyed, a city of one million inhabitants, one of the most prosperous cities of Europe before the war, the streets were lined with people in the Famished and pangs of starvation. they squatted there, with their elbows on their knees or leaning against the buildings, too feeble to lift a hand for a bit of money or a morsel of bread if one offered it, perishing of hunger and cold. Charity did what it could. The rich gave all that they had, the poor shared their Hundreds of thousands last crust. were perishing. Day and night the pictures is before my eyes a people starving, a nation dying. The above statement by Mr. Walcott is a terrible arraignment of the Hun, but no more terrible than he deserves. What has happened in in northern Poland, in Belgium, France and every other country that has been blighted by the Huns presence would happen in America should the allies, by any chance, fail to win this war. It would mean the enslavement of American men, the starving and death of American women and children. Either the Hun or humanity must perish. lt f, rain-soake- wisb TO THE LOCAL POSTMASTER: (Date) m..m. 4. 1023 KILLED SUBSCRIBE FOR r The South Cache Courier i wLue-.o- a patrol BY GERMAN HELMET Soldier Hunting Sou American venir Picked Up Charged Headpiece. t Shamokin, Pa.

S Unde Sam is no longer going to take it for granted Unit every Utah citizen is squarely behind the food administration. While he is pretty sure this is so, he is now demanding proof of it. To secure this proof t he Federal Food Administration is starting a campaign for the placing of n United States Food Administration ard in every home in the state. The card carries ujth it no pledge but simply the words Member of the United States Food AdminBelow tliis slogan is the istration.'' Hoover insignia. Federal Administrator Armstrong is asking that one of the cards lie placed in the front window of eery loyal citizen's home, knowing that no Utahn would care to fly Midi a banner unless he was doing his utmost to live up to the regulations of the U. S. Food Administration. Practically every home in the state has shown a Liberty Bond card in its window ami during the Christmas season proudly displayed the Red Cross emblem. And now not falling a whit behind in its food conservation work, It is believed that every home will show that it is solidly behind the big moe-liien- t of feeding, not only those within its doors, but its neighbors across the sea.

As previously announced, all the members of the S. A. T. C. will be mbers of the army receiving th pay of privates. They will be subject to discipline, says the telegram and kept under observation to determine- their qualifications as officers or technical experts. At certain intervals, the student soldiers will be transferred to an officers training camp or left in college for fruther preparation or sent to a for regular army duty.

Vocational sections o fthe S. A. T. C. to be recruited by call through the local draft boards are bcine planned. All academic instruction must- be modified, if necessary, to have direct military value. - The Utah Agricultural College is rapidly adjusting its work to comply with these new plans. By September 30, the opening of the fall quarter, it is expected that the courses will be arranged to conform to the plans of the War department. Arrangements will also be made to quarter and feed the- men on the college campus, in conformity with the government's request.
