The Chesterheld Advertiser PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 1 Subscription, $1.00 a year. Entered as second-class matter at the postofhce at Chesterfield, South Carolina. PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. ( SENATOR BECKHAM'S SPEECH .] Reading the discussion in Concrete of some of the most important, logis- 'I Intion proposed by friends of the adtoi narration one would suppose that some congressmen did not tvnliv.e that the country is at war with the world's prveatest military lespotisi All men are moved by motives. !t is well understood that the opposition j of a few of the Republican leaders to me necessary war legislation, giving i the President more power to deal with the present situation, is political, pure and simple. With eyes centered upon the coming president- ' ial and congressional elections these 0 gentlemen are engaged in making issues for the approaching political contest. The war and its successful V management to these objectors seem of secondary importance to the gain ing of some partisan advantage.While we can understand why certain Republicans should engage in such tactics to gain some political advantage to their party in the coming elections, ,j. for the life of us we cannot imagine why Democrats engage in playing second fiddle to these objectors. In discussing the bill for reorganizing the war powers, a bill that the President deems essential to the pro per conduct of the war, one of the greatst speeches made in favor of th measure was delivered by Senator Beckham, of Kentucky. '1 he speech is a gem of oratory ami is replete ,, with sound arguments in favor of giving the president the power needed to conduct the war. It would be a pleasure to publish the speech entire in The Advertiser did space per- ^ mit. Senator Beckham, in renlvinir t-> " sonic of the criticise s of the objectors, said they gave the impression 1 that our country would he in less danger from the barbarous hordes .. of the (ierman armies if turned upon our shores than from the evil of an ^ American president armed with increased powers to wage successful warfare. To show how forcibly the Kentucky -nator presented the great importance of giving the Presi- ' lent this needed legislation we commend to all objectors and faultfind ers these strong and wrathful statements from the speech of Senator \ backhaul: "The Senate recently spent about 10 days in debating an important measure manifestly necessary to strengthen the arm of the Government in dealing with German agents and spies in this country. Although lisastorous fires occurred in our munition factories and criminal activities of German spies in some of our 1 war industries, we spent two days in the discussion of whether the word "calculated" or the word "intended" V should he used in that measure, and yet when it came to its final passage not even a roll call was demanded + .. "When millions of men are lined up in a life-and-death struggle upon ( the long battle line of western Kurope, when the civilization of the world is tremb'ing in the balance. when hundreds of thousands of brave ' young American soldiers are in that battle line; with their brothers in| arms, sacrificing their lives in the J ^ righteous cause of human freedom, and when the American people each p day while this tremendous conflict is going on are watching with intense anxiety every bulletin that comes j to us from the battle fields, it is not surprising that we should see so many manifestations of impatience throughout the county when we hesitate here in Congress so often and so long to give to the President sufli ^ cient power, not only to maintain our Army and our Navy abroad but to suppress the very dangerous and grave activities of bold and defiant German agents in this country. * ' "Never before in the history of the human race was the issue at stake I' greater or more far-reaching than ii is today. Never before did any peo- vv pie have as great an opportunity to n render service to mankind as the American people have at the present. We breathlessly and anxiously aw tit dny and night for each message that flashes across the seas, telling us of :i the events of the titanic struggle now going on in Belgium and in northern t France. No braver soldiers ever :1 marched to the battle front th?n c those American, British, and Frenchheroes ,\ho are right row along that -s battle line holding back the onrushing a waves of the barbarous hosts of Ger ?nany. 'I heir success in holding those P ines and in driving back the ruthless foes depend upon how fast can we & rush to their aid mjen and supplies." 1 n ?W&&| I wtunmsniM I Mturs WV TK I UNHID VTATKt | JPOVEKHMEIIT Buy Them And Help Win The War FOR SALE EVERYWHERE ' rHE KAISER TALKS 1 TO HIS ADVISER i The Kaiser called the devil up.

Food Administration. However, Warns Against Waste. . j The allies have made further and Increased demands for breadstulTs. these enlarged demands being caused to some degree by shortage In arrivals from the Argentine. It la. therefore. ' necessary for the U. S. Food Adintnts trutlon to urge a still further reduction , In the consumption of bread and bread ot ..IV.. ? - - * - oimio (jiruuiuu.v ii we tire to meet our export necessities. The Food Admlu | 1st ration hns Issued a stntetnent ex plaining the situation In detail, particularly the reasons which loud It. for the purpose of centering effort for the time being upon the cereal sltuntlon j to relax temporarily the restrictions on meat consumption. Experience shows, this statement says, that the consumption of breadstuffs Is Intimately associated with the consumption of meat. For various reasons our supplies of meat for the next two or three months are consid eruhly enlarged, nnd we can supply the allies with all of the meat products i which transportation facilities render possible and ut the same time some ( what Incrense our own consumption , In these circumstances the Food Ad ; ministration considers It wise to relax J the voluntary restrictions on meat con sumption to some extent with a view :| to further decreasing hreud consump tlon. Conservation of food must be adjusted to meet necessities from time to time, for neither production, nor allied demands are constant factors, nor can any of these factors be anticipated for long periods In advance In the dls turhed conditions in which we at pres ent live. While the world situation 1s not one that warrants any relaxation in the efforts to eliminate waste or to relax economy In food, the Administration desires to secure better adjustment In food balances. So long as the present conditions continue the only special restrictions we asK are the beetless and porkIess Tuesday. The meatless meal and the porkless Saturday are no longer asked. The farmers of the United States are responding to the national eall to Increase hog production. Their Increase, to all appearances. Is being attained more rapidly. Of more immediate Importance, however, are several complex factors which have effected an immediate Increase In meat supplies. The transportation shortage before the government took over the railroads, the had weather In January and enrly In February, the large percentage of immature corn In the Inst liarvest and the necessity of feeding this I corn as rapidly ns possible to save it from decay, have not only resulted In hacking up the animals?particularly hogs -on the farms for a longer period (if feeding, hut have resulted in a great Increase In their average weight and will result, with 'Improved trans portation conditions, which already ap pear, in larger titan normal arrivals at market for the next two or three months. The weight of hogs coming to tlm market for the past two weeks Indhntcs an Increase In weight ot from an average of 203 pounds last year to the almost unprecedented average of 2112 pounds, or a net in crease in their meat value of over !.*> per cent. This Is a distinct addition to the nntlon's meat supply. It therefore now seems certnln that we have stall enlarged supplies for at least I some months to come, that we can not j only increase our exports to the allies ti.i. fi.n . ? - ..ii.iii \jt nun iraosporuc \ Hon facilities, but at the same trine | ran properly Increase our domestic I consumption. 1 The response of the public to our re quests for reduced consumption of meat during the pnst few months has been most gratifying, and this service ! alone has enabled the government dur l Ing this period to provide such sup plies as transportation to the ullies permitted. The Administration nlso suggests ttint In those parts of the country wh\;re the old fashioned home prexer vatlon of pork Is still the custom, this practice should he extended at the present time, as It will relieve the bur den upon transportation to and from the [lacking houses and Is economical ly sound as saving the cost of packing operations and at the same time will provide home supplies of pork to las* over the months of decreased supplies | The Food Administration desires to I repent that It does not want to give the Impression that these are times when simplicity and moderation of llv lug are not critically necessary, but that Its sole desire Is to secure an ud l iSttnent between our dliTcront fooo supplies ar.d meet changing conditions from time to time and to keep the pub lie fully and fiankly advised of Its I position with the full confidence nnu reliance that whenever it heroines nec f essar.y renewed appeals for saving wll: met the same loyal response as lu tb< past * ' r N \ Two Kinds 8outh C ^|v dent of I 7 V O* Una. at 1 www wrw letter w I nVonl^ I UNITED STATES I Commitl i*nTE#N*iCNT 1 message 1 follows: "Dear Follow American: I believe this bank, and you have on hand jus' why I am making every effort all the about.
