 The policy Of the United States with regard to sucr matters was established definitely by President Wilson in his reply to the German proclamation oi Feb 4 He said:
 If the commanders of German vessels of war should act upon the presumption that the flag of the Unite States not being used in good faith and should de stroy the high American vessel or the lvee of American citizens it would be difficult for the gov ernment of the United States to view the act in other light than indefensble violation of neutral right which it would be very hard indeed to reconcile with tho frendl yreations so happily existing between tn, two governments

WHAT IS A NOODLE?

 problems precise nature of spaghetti and maca- roni There is going to be a formal hearing on May 1l to decide these momentous questions
 Noodles according to the Century dictionary consist of dough formed into long, strips, some times into other shapes dried and used soup" Tha seems fairly simple Of course everybody-except pos sby government officials knows what noodles are, but its gratifying have the backing the lexicon There are human noodles. too but they have nothing to do with this inquiry.
 Spaghetti is almost easily disposed of The samo authority corroborates the general unearned impres- that this is a similar substance made "in the form of cords smaller than ordinary macaroni but several times larger than the threads of vermicelli"
 That brings us a consideration of macaroni, which might carelessly be described a larger variety of spaghetd made in the of pipes instead of strngs But ignoring the mystery of how the holes get into aacaron find after little research that macaroni aoesu- necessarily have holes in it-that it may just well come in the shape of ribbons or strings or ttroads lozenges disks squares curl paper any other of fftyseyen or more varieties.
 In other words all this sort stuff is macaron sa any Italian testify. Noodles, which are not distinct iy German at alL in spite of their name are simply ribbons of macaron and spaghetti is strings Of maca. roni These conclusions are respectfully submitted to the department of agriculture.

MOTHERS LEAGUE
 HAS PLENTY TO DO
Many Children Born Out of We'd lock, Immediately, Follow
 ing the War.

LONDON, May lO.The work of the War Babies and Mothers League which has officially reported that more than 40OO 6ases of the soldiers child ren born out of wedlock. is described in report by A. James Hills, it's secretary. He says:
 "The girl is very shy in owning mp. and it is only at the last moment when she is frantic and distracted that she takes someone into her con- iidence Before the baby is born. we feed the mother if she needs 1t and We arrange other details if she is un- able to do so. If she needs clothes for tbe baby. for herself or for her other children we give them"
 By other children, Hills explained tbat many of the women who ha.e to be assisted lived before tha war as the wives of men now in the treu- ches. In most cases, obstacles, mili- tary or otherwise, stood in the way of marriage. An Irish girl a Catholic. said she could not induce her man. Protestant, to marry in her church, and she refused to do so in his. SO they did without These couples live quite as respectable as those legally united, however
 "Iu the majority of cases con- tinued Hills, it is simply a matter of a young girl and a young man los- ing their heads when the man is go- ing off to the front. Generally the pair are engaged.
 We believe the government ought to pay these girls a regular separa- ton allowance, such as is paid 70 wives of soldiers
 Besides providing food and watching over the mother, the League gives her sewing to do, if she is able to do it. in order to promote a spirit of independence Where it is con sidered advisable, foster parents are found for the child and the mother is given situation SO as to make fresh start in life.
 The league has brought about the marriage of a number of couples. Marriages are not popular among the poor because of the expense. But with expenses paid, they are eager for the ceremony The sums of S2.30 is given for the license and a cheap wedding ring provided. lt is sieni1- cant that the men in Che trenches in writing to the league always refer 10 their mates as wives. They seem eN- tremely grateful for the assistance given these unfortunates' and they recoanize their responsibility fully.

A FOOLISH LIQUOR POLICY

When the Russian government attacked Che iquo ttrsfhc, 1t wisely struck vodka the fiery drink re- sponsible for nearly all the demoralization of the Ru sian peasantry. When the French government turned against alcohol it banished absnthe the chief poisone of French brains.
 When Great Britain, early in the war, turned its al tention to the liquor traffic all it did was to tax beei 200 per cent higher thereby raising the retail price cent glass. The result was that the consumption e beer decreased onehird and the consumption of whi Ky and gin increased accordingly This unwise tax ha a good deal to do with the wave of drunkenness thf has driven the British to desperate rem, dies
 It ought to be obvious to any country or communit that if any sort of liquor discrimnated agains 1t should be spirits And in all cases where pr hibtion is involved, it is probably wiser to begin Russia has done by prohibiting the beverages conta~ ing the most alcohol and then if further steps are dc sired, eliminating the mlder beverages gradually
