GREAT WASTE OF FOOD
IN THE EARLY DAYS.

| Rigid economy is enjoined upon eV-
cry officer of the army engaged in relief
work. No Indebtedness will be con-
tracted without the authority of one of
, the officers named above. Any unusual
/ expenditures must be approved by the
division commander. Officers must
make such daily record as 70 enable
| them to make weekly or other reports
| of the work done and when the civil
/ authorities resume the work to present
| complete report covering the entire
| operations
In the first days after the fire little
or no attempt was made to keep cheCA
on foodstuffs, the main idea being 10
provide against want, and it was natu-
raj that under this excusable hap
hazard order of affairs many abuses
should arise. But even when the lines
were more tightly drawn, the unscrup-
ulous person continued to take advan-
.age of the genel al distress, and 1t was
then realized that the salvation of the
situation lay with the army. So the
officials of this branch of the federal
government were called upon to engage
IN an unprecedented service. That
success will doubtless meet their efforts
NAV be inferred from the completeness
of the plan of General Greedy. The un-
burned part of the city will be divided
into sevec. districts in charge of army
officers who will assume control of all
of the relief stations now established.
Responsible civilians will be installed
under salary at the sub-stations for
the performance of the clerical work. |
and daily records and checks will be
kept. 1t is declared that the period OF
extreme distress has passed and that !
at the earliest possible moment the is
sue of rations must be confined to help
less women and children and refused TO
adult males unless, they are sick or IN
enfeebled condition. Issues of luXur1eS
or articles of especial diet will be con-
fined to infants and invalids. Rigid
economy is enjoined upon any officer
enga ged in relief work. In each of the
seven districts there will be 100 sta
tions. The amount of food to be al
lowed each person. with some latitude
for certain conditions, is specified ana
the allowance in a measure is cased
on the army rations.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29.-The
second Sabbath since the fateful April
18 has served as a clearing house in
the affairs of this ruined city. While
the old-time ouietude is missing, the
day has witnessed less of the excite
fnert confusion and clamor of its i'm
mediate predecessor and the communi-
ty at large has been enabled to make
a calmer survey of the situation and
to enter into a more intelligent ana
rational preparation for the future.
All possible work of a municipal char
acter was suspended for the day and
the tired officials, who for nearly two
weeks have labored necessarily with
little sleep to bring semblance of order
out of chaotic Conditions, took advan-
tage OF the lull to secure greatly needed
rest and to pay some attention to press
ing personal needs.
With the advent of the Sabbath
came an opportunity to review the tre-
mendoUs accomplishments of the past
eleven days and provide remedies for
defects in the task of eauably and
judiciously caring for all classes of the
destitute, irrespective of race or creed
Plans for solving the tremendous finan-
cfaI problems that confront the city
began today to assume tangible form
and the Sunday closed with the bright
est prospect that has faced San Fran
cisco since three-fourths of it's territory
laid waste.

park purposes, it being we'll wooded

) President Charles r. Van Hise,
of the University of Wisconsin,
one of the best known geolo-
gists of the country, formerly
, Of the United States Geological
Survey, says disaster at San
Francisco has long been expect

statement ne says:
} 1.-THE fear has been repeated
ly expressed that San Francisco
would be the first to show the
effect of an earthquake upon
steel structures, for it has been
well understood that San Fran

cation with reference to earth

Soho, the Worlds Headquarters of Anarchy

London anarchists suspected OF completely
in foreign plot. II is announced that there
Is to be conference on this subject, and
without exception. every European power
will urge the British government to adopt
the policy that prevails outside of England.
Indigna ton and horror at the Madrid out
rage may cause some change TO be made,
although there are sound reasons for the
maintenance Of the present British policy
OF ignoring anarchists.
The best reason is that a change would
be inefficient. AS already remarked. many
OF the anarchists living in Great Britain
are unknown. Those who are known to the
police have no reason for conceallng their
opinions on government. A crusade against
them would result In their denial OF an
archistic sympathies. How Is a man 10 be
convicted OF opinions II # IL to his interest
to hide them? The most jealous hunting
down of suspects would not exterminate
the breed and the attempt could only be
made by adopting a system Of espionage
and terrorism that IL repugnant to the av-
erage Englishman. however law-abidlng.
Nor can It be overlooked that anarchist
outrages invariably occur IN those countries
where this system Is in vogue. To inaugu-
rate II in England would be to make the
British royal family a target for bombs.
II the continental system OF making war
on anarchists is to be adopted the conti-
mental system of guarding royalty must
also be imported. Otherwise successful as
sassination would be certain.
As il is now. the British police are often

don evening paper was able to announce
the existence Of plot day or so before
the outrage occurred. This might have
been lucky guess. for one might safely
predict a period Of ferocious activity among
anarchists IN the immediate future. 1t Is
well known that the nihilists claim great
credit for the dawn OF responsible govern
ment In Russia. In other countries where
real or imaginary wrongs remain TO be re

Look at the matter from the common
sense point OF view. What use Is the land

thing to be done with It is to build upon
it. You cannot cultivate 1t with such raw
workmen as these twelve are. They are
not accustomed to spade work. Il Is evil

ft of the general body OF ratepayers. We

Jack Williams, who led the Manchester
unemployed in their march to London. Is
assisting In command OF the campers, and
under his lead the twelve men who form
the little colony have devoted their atten-
ton with method and energy to preparing
the land they have seized for vegetable
raising.
The boundaries OF the plot have been
marked out with a whitewash line. Then
patches of turf were taken up. and the
ground dug ready for the planting OF let
tuce, cabbages, radishes and anything else
that is likely to produce food.
Unfortunately the area prepared 80 far
is not OF very great dimensions. as a lack
OF suitable implements is one Of the chief
drawbacks with which the colony" Is
eontending. one spade appears to form
the entire agricultural outfit, and In taking
turns to work with this the men have had
little opportunity yet Of firing themselves
out
A fine opportunity for industry presented
itself, however. in the shape Of making
collections among the hundreds OF curious
sightseers who visited the encampment,
and this was assiduously engaged In by
the men who were not using the spade.
No attempt has yet been made to evict
them, but, the rector OF Holy Trinity has
