trio supplies and prepared foods

purposes, cost more than usual And
prices for all sorts of war supplies
are sure to continue rising as long as
the conflict lasts. for the demand will
be continually greater.
The United States. as the chief pro-
visioner and supply depot of a world
in arms, will therefore derive more
and more profit from this export bust
ness as long as the other nations

a close second in boom prospects.
Last winter the mills were operating
at only 40 per cent capacity. Now
they are working at so per cent ca
pacity, and still gaining-and 80 per
cent is their practical limit. This inn
provement isn't by any means all due
TO war orders, either. Only One-fifth
of the whole steel business is for the
export trade, and much of that-as
for example the steel needed for Rus
sia's huge freight car orders-has
nothing to do with munitions. Nearly
all of it is evidence of the basic
soundness of our domestic industry
and commerce.
We are now without question on the
upgrade of prosperity, and far-sight-
ed business men are declaring that
nothing, not even war, could check
the growing activity or shake our

THE ORIGIN OF SPORTS.

To the ordinary observer, the sight
of a jolly crowd of people at a ball
game is a pleasant one. The antics of
humorous or enthusiastic coachers,
the yells of the crowd and the air of
a general romp makes the world seem
like a very jolly place. Scenes like
these seem a wholesome offset TO the
toilsome side of life. Man a working
mans week is frightened.
But there are some persons to whom
this philosophy does not appeal. Many
socialists argue that all this absorp-
ton in sports is worse than time vast
ed. 1t is a wicked device of capital.
to divert the working people from in
terest in and attention TO their
wrongs.
According to their theory, popular
sports were devised in medieval or
ancient times as a device TO quell pop
ular disorders. The leaven Of democ-
racy was beginning 10 work. The
kings and emperors saw that they
must have an outlet for growing un-
rest. So they devised popular festi-
walls. holidays, and athletic competi-
tions These took UP popular ener-
gy. which would otherwise have gone
into riotng. revolution and desu Jc-
ton of the established order.
Baseball and other sports, it is ar
gued. are but the present day perpet-
uation OF this trick of the mOneyed
classes to keep the working people in
order Could the ball games and 9TH
er sports but be abolished. our people
would stay at home, mediate on their
wrongs, and rise and overturn the
classes that enslave them.
With this philosophy of gloom. the
average man can have but little sym
pathy As a matter OF fact, the cap
italist Of today is not over friendly
TO baseball. The office boys and the
stenographers have too many grand

CAPFTALIZTNG THE FLAG.

It's all very well TO say that Amer
leans going TO Europe in these periIous
times should travel on American ships.
But when it develops thst American
liners sailing from our ports are few
and far between. and that the rates on
them have been raised to an almost
prohibitive figure. the situation isn't
so simple.
The biggest of our transatlantic
steamship lines has been accused Of
"capitalizing the Stars and Stripes"
at the expense of passengers who fear
10 cross the sea except under their
own flag. Rates for passage, which
were already high enough for a rea-
sonable profit. have been raised to
two or three times the prices charged
by British liners. Several diplomats,
rather than submit 20 the exorbitant
charges. have cancelled their reserva-
tions and sailed on foreign ships The
behavior OF the little group of men
now mOnopOlizing and capitalizing the
American flag on the Atlantic has
aroused widespread criticism. II is

Won JAGOM,s LOGIC

Americans have not been led to ex-
pect much logic from belligerents in
their war disputes 40 other states
man. however. seems TO find it so
hard 10 reason straight as does DR..
Won Jagow. the German foreign sec
rotary. Nv recent interview he de-
clares:
The question of foodstuns and
raw materials is not a question of
necessity for Germany, but one
OF principle. Germany cannot be
starved out by Great Britains
embargo ON fOOdstUffs We may
be a little short on some particu-
lar food products, hut we have
enough to live on and keep up the
struggle The same is true Of
raw materials.
Thus he overthrows in a moment
Germany's contention-and his own
Of the last four months that her ruth
less campaign at sea was justified by
necessity, as a means of breaking
down the embargo on food and saving
the lives Of German women and chill
dren.
Pursuing then, his explanation that
the submarine warfare is based on
principle" ne says:
Germany objects to the cool
assumption Of the British cabinet
that when il is unable to defeat
the German armies legitimately
on the battlefield, ii is entitled TO
try 10 force the nation to its
knees by economic pressure.
We may pass over the obvious re-
tort an Englishman might make, that
England objects TO the cool assump-
ton Of the German board that when
it is unable to defeat the British navy
legitimately in battle. it is entitled to
try to force the British nation TO its
knees by a campaign of terror against
noncOm batants." The gist of the
German argument, then, appears 10
be this:
England can't sjarve US; but
just because she tries to. we've
got 10 sink English ships-and
neutral ships. too, if they get in
our way-fOr we owe it to civil
izatiOn TO teach the British cabi
net a lesson.
Proceeding with his elucidation OF
the principle" involved, DR.. Won
Jagow explains that:
There is no precedent for the
siege of the civilian population of
a whole nation in its own land,
with no posi- bility of escape.
DIR. Won Jagow would hardly expect
that statement TO be accepted here II

precisely what the United States die
