With the signing OF the Food Contro
and Survey bills by President Wilson
and the formal appointment of Herbert
Hoover as Food Administrator the Fed
eral Government has assumed control
OF the country's food supply. Mr..
Hoover, in statement, said every eff
fort would be made to correct price
abuses, and that he was convinced that
business en- OF the country realized
their patriotic obligations and the SOL
emnity OF the situation and would fairly
and generously cooperate. He asserted
that the shortage of food in allied coun-
tries was such that the American peo-
pile must practice rigid economy in or
der to supply the old men, women and
young children Of those nations with
food

A Wise Law.

If drivers OF automobiles will comply
with law passed by the last Legisla-
ture OF this State, there will be no more
collisions between automobiles and rail-
road trains. The new law requires driv-
ers of automobiles to stop fifty feet from
every railroad crossing which is not pro-
tected by gate or Waterman and look
and listen before proceeding. 1t is a
good law and will prove a protection to
life and property il complied with

cry American who thinks and is loyal

goes on to show, though the end be
yet far away, it is probably true that
at no time since the Huns invaded
Belgium has Germany been so near
| defeat as now. The Kaiser's great
feet continues helpless before the
vigilant British navy; his land forces
on the Eastern frontier will yet have
to reckon with the Russians, who
may be expected presently to get
their second wind: his Western arm
les have not captured a single big
gun in four months and are steadily
losing ground; his Zeppelins have
been scrapped; his airplane raids
upon England have yielded no mill
tary gains; his submarines have not
fulfilled expectations; his soldiers,
judging from the aspect of those cap
tured, are depressed; his war-worn
allies are praying for relief; his sup
plies are depleted and his finances
seedy; and the German people at
large are suffering If not from ac-
tual want, at least from hunger
Finally he has to face the entrance
of America and all that this implies
and threatens. 1t is not a cheerful
outlook.
But Germany is far from beaten to
the point essential to the ending of
the war and the making of terms
which shall put Autocracy out of
business, insure the safety of De-
mocracy and perpetuate the peace of
the world.
The Congress of Nations which
shall determine the future must meet
in Berlin, if an intermediate Con-
gress solicited by Austria has not
been assembled meanwhile in Wen
ma. The paramount issue-Abso-
lutism versus Constitutionalism-
the right divine of Kings versus the
right divine of"the people-involve
as irrepressible conflict for Europe
as the issue between Freedom and
Slavery involved for America. Nor
can we in America escape it. If thru
our delinquency Germany could over
come England France, our turn
would quickly come. Even a draw
would saddle us with the need of |
great standing army and fighting

at the height of his phenomenal sue

This Charge.

Fetterson B. Marzoni, a young man

ton, is on trial for hazing at the nav
al academy at Annapolis. = His trial,
according 10 kilograms received by
The Journal last night, commenced
yesterday morning. There are a mum.
Der Of specifications against Mr.. Mar,
zoni, but his friends here hope that
he will be found guilty of none of
them.
The young man was appointed to
the academy some years ago. has al
vanced RAPIDLY, and his friends here
are in hopes that nothing win result
from the charge against him of haz.
ing. A telegram bearing upon the
charges against Mr.. Marzoni is as fol-
lows:
The case Of Midshipman Worth w.
Foster Of New Albany, Ind, will be
taken up tomorrow, aud that of P. B.
Marzoni Of Pensacola, Fla, as soon
as the case against Foster is coneIud-
ed. Both IRE first class men, and both
are charged with hazlng Midshipmau
Chester S. Roberts Of Joliet, Ill, on
several different occasions. There
are two specifications under the
charge against Foster and four
against Marzoni, Roberts evidently
being a newcomer. who came in for
special dose Of hazing, if all allie
cations are true. 1t is specified
against Foster that he compelled
Roberts 10 get under a table while
he was eating his dinner in the mess
hail, and that he compelled him to
hang to the top Of the door frame
for a long period Of time. Three of
the specifications against MarZoni al
lege that On different occasions he
compelled Roberts to bring him food
from the dining room, an act con-
trary to the Naval Academy regula-
tiOns. The fourth specification is that
me compelled Roberts to stand on his
head a number Of times in success
sion, and the fifth that he compelled
him to hang from the locker in his
(MarzOni's) room.
Marzoni was one of the witnesses
called by the defense yesterday in
Decatur's case. His evidence did not
help the accused, and it was thought
that the charges against him con-
cerned the same matter as did De.
catur, so far as it referred to aid
shipman Church. This is an error
however, as all the specifications in
Marzonrs case refer to the hazing of
young Roberts"
