An announcement comes from London that the British government will probably commander all feod supplies in Great Britain and regulate thelr prices and distribution.

 Observe the Independent coming forward with suggestions That excellent organ of aniabe intent suggests:
 First, that the United States proceed to have part in peace conference, and insist that all na- tons lay down their arms and proceed disarma- ment. (Excelent, but the Independent is dubious and proposes)
 Second, that in the event of disarmament pro- posals failing. the United States enter into 8 com pact with other nations. two, preferably two to maintain military equipment sufficient to dispose of angry nation alliance of nations which might thereafter seek make breach of the peace
 If pacfsts of this type would only think and not be merely emotive The Independent proposes as an alternative to scheme of disarmament 1t itself distrusts, that the United States Surrender it's soauon, undertake responsibility for any European disturbance and maintain army and navy estab- lshment sufficient, joined with the establishments of any two other nations, to rule the destinies the world and enforce commands upon turbulent peoples, ordering that they keep the peace.
 This with noble object, would be snitarism of the most extreme type. No sensible person in the United States advocating preparedness has had it in his thoughts that any establishment one tenth large should be set up.
 Pacifists of this kind do think at all They know they want something and that something is very desirable. All sensible want assurance of peace Disagreement merely the manner of getting it. Some men reasonably inclined to deny that the history of the world divided into two parts, part consisting of such sad days as passed before they were bOrn and the other of few but utterly different days have elapsed since their birth.
 They contend that all they may know of the fu- ture is what they may base upon the experiences of other in other centuries Such were pre- O ind all at ThoyI do ask that the United States become a great military power.

 The work already done to afford relief to the people of Belgium through the relief fund has been Of vast importance. The fund was started August $, 1914, and the first movement in the United States towards mitigating the distress the hun combatants in Belgium Up to February E it's cash complications amounted $923,676. The esti- rated value of food contributions was s700 OOO and of clothing s35,OO0, making a total of S165S67C The food supplies which the fund had at the date gwen delivered in Belgium in transit were all purchased in the United States and were valued at s1553OOO The total cost of accomplishing this result about per cent

 The week following Beachey won the first inter- -city aeroplane race held on this continent, flying from hours and 22 seconds. Later in Chicago, he spiralled at such angles that persons thought he was falling and telephoned for an ambulance. He played leap frog over steam engines in Grant Park and did the "Texas Tommy on Michigan boule yard, jigging the wheels of the chasis on the pavement and driving automobiles to the sidewalk. He spun his landing wheels on the top plane of another machine.
 He established an American rec ord for altitude by flying heaven ward until his fuel exhausted and then volplaned 11000 feet to the earth.

FULLER SISTERS IN
 SONGS OF YESTERDAY

When the Fuller Sisters come to the Women's club for their recital next Monday night, they will bring with them the most extensive re- pertoire of English folk songs in the possession of anybody at the present time For a long time it was generally understood that the Eng fish peasant had no folk songs; that he alone of all the races of Europe had never learned to express him. self in that sincere, intimate, mov- ing fashion. Recent researches, how ever, have upset that theory, and for these researches the Misses Full Ter are very largely responsible.
 So great has been the number of songs brought to light by these charming and talented artists that they can no longer be presented as single numbers; but must be classi- fled and catalogued according to the nature of the song. They begin their programs with a Singers Apologize an introductory number which they found was used by the old sword dancers at Yorkshire. They
 
 Town" a merry quizzical defense by the folk-singer of his own heart.
 For the rest there are children's singing games, mothers and nur- sery songs, songs of fortunate love and it's reverses, ballads, quiet re- flective songs of home and country. songs of good fellowship, fun and fancy of "old unhappy far-off things and battles long ago." of super natural legends, tragic stories. fairy tales. romances religious and scrip turai songs, list almost too long to relate
 There is one song which is not on the program and which is sung only on request. It is of a nature far re- moved from the folk songs of their recitals, and has to do with the pres ent tragical events now ravaging Europe. It has been written by poet who is deeply moved by the war. It is called Five Souls,' ana has been set to a melody by Bee thoven. It deals with five spirits who meet beyond the grave, Cos sack a Tyrolean mountaineer. an Alsatian vine grower. a Belgian and .~ Briton. Each tells how happy he was in his own humble walk of life until he was sent to war at the com mand of his superiors, and finally shot in the trenches. Each ends with this plangent heart breaking refrain: T fought for freedom, that I know For those who bade me fight have
 told me so
 It is not exactly what one would call a pleasant songs; but wherever it is sung it has a wonderful effect on it's auditors.

WASPs0|L GETS
 LANDER IN BAD

When c. M. Zancer cast the mil& lion candle power light of publicity upon mile-high A blazoned from the summit of the highest of the San Francisco peaks, state wide campaign for ret1rn to the tax commission, he found good use for the Yellow Wasp" the attractive, snug and cOZy car that among capitol attaches is fCndly known as the "Yellow Peril" But the man with the big z name on Saturday afternon and brought him
 into the limelight in new and un- sought role, that of a lawbreaker. If the case is proven. it is hard to see how MT. z can ever hold up his head before those constituents who returned him to the tax commission, for once arrested and convicted the stigma is bound to attach to a man throughout life unless he seeks new fields and even then 1t may follow him.
 In the sense Zander may not have been entirely to blame for the affair that indelibly placed his name on the police docket among a horde of petty offenders and will cause his name to be called from the bench in Police Magistrate McBride's court this after noon at o'clock. But he ought to have known the proclivities of a car ike the Wasp or the Peril, with relationship.
 Zander has been in the habit of leaving his car on Adams street in the vicinity of the Hotel Adams while lie arranged affairs of state in the lobby or furnished sustenance to the inner man at the Adams eating em- porium. This he did on Saturday afternoon little while before Police man Behr and Hunt happened along. And then the awful thing happened. The minions of the law with mlcro scope, X-Ray outfit and bacteriolog ical apparatus, unearthed few drops of oil upon the pavement directly under Zander's Wasp or Peril. The rest is the just the ordinary story of what happens after the police catch an offender in the act.
 The Yellow Peril was out last eve ming. It wasn't standing on the paved street in front of the Hotel Adams. It was safely cached around the corner on North First street, where the progress of Phoenix hasn't yet succeeded in invading the com mon dirt road with a bitulithic wear ing surface susceptible to the raV- ages of dripped oil.
