Deeries Possible Raise In Price Of
Bread.

Bread.
TO the EDITOR Of the Mail Bag:
I read with interest the article upon
the price of wheat. Is It possible that
with last years record crop the price
OF flour and wheat will be higher. and
that the sadly diminishing loaf Of bread
should be further curtailed for no other
purpose than to feed the greedy in
satiable nav Of the spe culators Of the
peoples food? The thousands and hun
dreds of thousands Of wretchedIy paid
men. women and children must still be
further taxed to build palatial man
sions and yachts for these human vam-
pires. Such men as BILLY Sunday are
useful I'm diverting the attention of the
unthinkinR masses from the terrible In.
Justices Of this chaos we call civiliza-
tion. To teach them Of mansions IN
the skies. and Of marching to Zion, etc.
which has the power to stultify their
intelligence as to the present condi-
tions under which they live on earth
below.
The advice Of DR.. Wiley to cut down
meat in preference TO bread is. no
doubt. good. but the question 10 why
should it be necessary to curtail ones
food in such a land Of enormous re-
sources. that a greedy, selfish minority
should lavish in LUXURY and riches at
the expense of the sweated and ex-
plotted millions. whose dense ignorance
alone Is responsible for the conditions
In which they live. and who are the
unfortunate products of that insatiab Die
monster. Profit" The teaching Of the
Golden Rule in the face of all this
is seemingly a CHASTITY farce.

PRACTICAL EXPANSION

A group of American banking in
terests have arranged with the gov
crnment Of Russia to establish in
New York a credit aggregating, for
the present, $12,00o,o0O, against
which the .Petrograd government
may make short-time drafts in pay
ment for purchases in this country.
1t is described as "purely banking
arrangement" which is doubtless
perfectly accurate. The parallel
transaction in. private business is
hat of livestock dealer, who goes
out to buy stock, not knowing just
how many he will be able to gather
up at a given time. He arranges
with his banker for a general credit,
with the privilege of drawing drafts
in payment for his purchases as
they are made; the series of trans
actions to be paid for according to
the period that each particular sum
of money is used.
Russia, like pretty nearly all other
countries. wants to deal with the
United States in some extraordinary
ways, and to an extraordinary ex,
tent, just at present; and the ques,
ton is whether the bankers of this
country can extend the facilities
commonly secured by carrying or
the financial details through Lon
don. New York bankers, associated
with those of other leading centers
have made a number of arrange
ments of this kind abroad, with tn
result not only that Americans hav'
been able to secure orders, but tina
this country has found itself directl,

Won BERCHTOLD

Count Won Berchtold, long the
minister of foreign affairs for Aus
ria-Hungary, has been a disciple of
Metternich without all of the
capacity Of Metternich. He has de-
liberately assumed that Austria
could dare to be truculent and ag-
gressive in continental affairs, not
so much because of its military
power or its national solidarity, but
because other countries would prefer
to yield rather than bring on war,
even though in war they might have
the better chance to win. He has
been the diplomatic swashbuckler.
In the affair of Bosnia Herzegovina
few years ago he scored one of the
big diplomatic achievements of his
time because he took a long chance.
He assumed that Russia would not
fight over the annexation of the two
provinces to Austria; assumed it, on
the ground that Russia was just out
of it's unfortunate war with Japan,
and in no condition to fight.
The event proved that he had
guessed correctly. Russia knew that
a fight at that time might bring her
further disaster even if she had to
fight Austria single-handed; in ad-
dition, she might be forced to fight
both Austria and Germany; and
France was not much better pre-
pared for such a combat than was
Russia.
So Austria took ia-Herzego'
vina; but the affair left bad feel.
ing. 1t was the initiation of the
present-day troubles of the Cont
nent. The Balkan wars came next
and then the Austrian foreign office
conceived the scheme of breaking
down the power of Servia by attack
ing her while she was exhausted
Like a vulture lowering over th'
battlcfelds on which honest mel
fought themselves to exhaustion, tn
Austrian foreign policy was to lie
others fight while Austria shoul'
come in for the real spoils at tn
end. So Servia, victorious in tw'
awful wars, was to be an easy victim
for Vienna; she would not dare fight
But she did; and it proved tina
Won Berchtold had miscalculated tn
patience of Russia, the readiness O
France, the loyalty of Britain, tn
devotion of Italy to the Triple Al
lance, the patriotism and power O
Belgium. 1t was no part of the vo
Berchtold plan, we may well believe
to be brought into any such war q

EASY ONE FROM MEXICO

Az laSC an Issue HdS UcCu IdioCu
in Mexico which can be understood
by Americans. Jack johnson is
booked to fight Jess Willard at
Juarez March 6. Jack was cham
pion pugilist Of the world SO long
as folks were willing to stand up to
be knocked out by him. Then, when
the knocking of him out seemed
hopeless, somebody discovered that
he wasn't eligible to be world
champion because Of his color. which
is black. The theory appears to be
that no gentleman could, with due
regard to his social station, fight a
colored man; though we have always
suspected that in this case the line
was drawn out of regard, not for
social station, but for physiognomic
integrity. In any case, it laid down
the general rule that a champion
pugilist must he a thorough gentle
man, which has doubtless done some
thing Tor the sport.
Anyhow, Jack was to fight Jess
Willard at Juarez, which is a border
town in the control of Villa. Juarez
is one of the most edifying places
on earth. A few months ago the
news dispatches gave graphic &C
count Of battle there, while over
on the sporting page the wires
spanked off the dope from the
Juarez races, going on in the same
town on the same day! The suckers
must be given their fling; Juarez
was able to accommodate them, wal
or no war.
Established thus as headquarters
of sporting versatility, the towr
went after the big Johnson Willard
fight. Villas war chest, it seems
would get big percentage Of the
gate receipts. Therefore Carranzs
wants to prevent the fight, and. be-
ing in control of most of the Mexi
can ports, proposes to keep John
son from landing in the country. Ths
| (barring his COLOR champion is il
bad odor in the United States be-
cause of certain white slave indict
ments hanging over him; also 6
jumping Of bail; so he can't con
veniently pass through this country
At present he is in South America.
Here is an issue between Wills
and Carranza that is easily grasped
Whether it was stirred up through
the fiendish ingenuity OF somebod!
who saw the possibilities of arousini
a race question in the States ca,
only be guessed. Anyhow, tn
diplomatic agents OF the opposin,
Mexican sides will have a chance t.
devote their energies to one propo
sition very certain to arouse genuin
concern on this side.
For, be it confessed in all humil
ity, the joint debate between Messrs
johnson and Willard would interes
more folks over here than all tn
battles of all the Mexican revolu
tions.

UNION STATION SUBWAY

Mr.. IhOrvafd Solberg writes 10
The Times apropos Of its advocacy
of a proper shelter for street car
passengers at the Union Passenger
Station, to propose that a subway be
constructed in front of the station,
through which street cars should
pass. and in which they should be
loaded and unloaded for the station
traffic.
He believes this is the ideal solu-
tion of the problem of providing a
maximum of comfort and safety for
the traffic at this point. The view,
which Mr.. Solberg has attractively
presented in a printed circular on
the subject, frankly does not much
appeal to The Times. There is no
apparent justification for the great
expense and inconvenience that
would be involved in putting a long
section of the car tracks under
ground. The only condition that
justifes such construction is great
congestion; and with the broad ex-
panse of the Station Plaza, open for
such development as may seem de-
sirable, there is not now and never
will be such congestion.
People don't want subway sta
ton, with the consequent necessity
for climbing or descending stairs
with their impedimenta of travel, if
they can avoid it. The Union Sta
ton as it stands is commonly &C
counted the most convenient and
comfortable one of its capacity in
the country. From train to street
cars, or vice versa, is but a few
steps; as to most of the trains, these
few steps are all to be taken on
the same level. Compare this with
the condition at the Pennsylvania
station in New York, for instance,
with it's maze Of underground pas
sages and its demand for toilsome
journey that demands the equipment
of a mountain climber. Surely nc
Washingtonian who has had often
to use that labyrinthian cathedral OF
terminal, will wish that an equally
inconvenient one be made out of the
simple and serviceable one we now
have.
All that is needed is street cal
shelter in front of the station. II
can be built without much detractior
from the architectural character o1
the station, but even if it could not
it should be built anyhow. 1t j!
not fair that utility should be so fal
sacrificed to artistic requirements
1t would be still less reasonable t.
make much greater sacrifice O.
utility and convenience in order t.
preserve the facade of the structure
and that greater sacrifice would b'
demanded if a subway were con
structed.
