30 CENTS A DAY TO
 FEED U. $. SOLDIER


 Prices may be skyrocketing in all parts of the United States, but the War Department does not know about it The latest annual report of the chief of the quartermaater corps shows that it costs Uncle Sam just fraction under 80 cents to feed a sol dIer one day. The principle of co- operation enables the government to keep the Individual cost of food per soldier much under what it costs the private citizen to eat. and yet the government buys food supplies from the same sources which furnish food to the public at exorbitant prices
 The government buys in large quantities at bed rock contract prices. The average soldier Is prob-i ably fed better than the average work ing man in this country. Yet it is done on 30 cents a day. So cheap1y can Uncle sam buy food that he is able to serve an elaborate dinner to the commercial public stopping in the hotels at Bahama for 90 cents.
 If the food trust continues to make the American public pay a war tribute in the cost of food. the government may yet be compelled to turn to it's own experiences to give relief to the neonle. If the government can keen it's own soldiers fed for less than 30 cents a day it ought to be able to do the same thing for all the people. Many of the European nations have already been compelled by the war to take the food supply in their own hands, and if famine prices are to be reflected in America our own govern ment may De compelled to adopt 9 similar course.

RANKING RESUMPTION NECESSARY FOR
 FOREIGN TRADE

Not only does American foreign commerce need a merchant marine in order to exist through the European war, but it needs the re-establishment of the exchange credit system as we'll Without a system of exchange the possession of American merchant yes sels will not help the situation very much. for there will be no way Of get ting the money for foreign shipments of goods except by collecting them at the ship herself when she docks as the huckster collects from his wagon.
 The present paralysis of the inter national banking system means that the ordinary instruments of credit are worthless One merchant on one side of the ocean cannot draw on the other through his bank, and there is no way of realizing on bills or lading Commerce has reverted to its prinai- tive condition of collection in cash On delivery. and there is no Likelihood Of much trade being conducted on that principle.

teStlne0 tnaI ne IS IaE LroI1 pe1uB a mean antagonist in the ring.
 NTaurise Maeterlinck is of an age far beyond that at which a man may hope to achieve a championship in the ring. as he will pass the half- century mark today. So he must perforce be content with the title of .'tne Belgian shakespeare'' title unfair both to the Belgian and the Bard of Avon. He may also boast the possession of. the Nobel prize for literature, awarded to him in 1911. which may compensate. to some ex- tent for the lack of a puginstic belt.
 Maeterlinck was born in Ghent, where John Bull and Uncle sam sign Cd their treaty of peace a century ago on August 25. 1864. It was in 1889. 2 quarter of century ago. that he entered the realms of letters with his first dream play, La Princesse Ma Ieine.' Belg1ans did not appreciate his genius. and he soon settled in Paris. where he has since resided, and where He married Georgette Leblanc. who has attained international fame. as an actress.
 Although the recognized leader of the worlds intellectuals. and a high brow Of high brows. M. Maeterlineksa associates in recent years have in-' cluded Georges Carpenter. the idol of French boxing enthusiasts, and Mr. Norman seIby, otherwise Xix Mccoy. the Hoosier boxer who was at one time middlewaght champion of the world
 Tn his admiration for boxing and boxers the Belgian has but followed the example Of other great writers of the past and present Lord Byron numbered several s:.brufsers' among his friends. and took lessons in the noble arts'i George Borrow was an associate of prizehghters. and many other writers. including Jack London. have not diedained to use their art to exalt hsticl combat.
 6. Ward Price. a prominent Lon don journalist and an amateur boxer, has given us a pen picture of this poet who doubles up his fists:
 s.some philosophers who sit in high places would have been nightly as- ltonished had they. seen what saw as looked over my guard. A strong Fly built man in a sweater and knick- erbockers weil-Alled brown stockings. some two inches under six feet in height, Full face. flushed. healthy red color, heavy clear blue eyes. with a whimsical look in them. Here was Maurice Maeterlinck. philosopher. and for three minutes was free to drub him to the best of my ability under the rules of the game.
 "But to land on Maeterlinck even one blow toward the drubbing needed all the speed could attain after four years away from the gloves. Tn and out he darted on those sturdy legs springing back to avoid 2 lead. block Iing, countering. and side=stepping in Ia fash. and on two occasions, at least stepping in to send a. right to my Ihead. and away again before one could reply
