THE FOOD SHOW

Washington is coming to realize
that food show is valuable affair.
The patronage of the food show just
concluded at Convention Hall proves
this general appreciation.
The association of Washington
merchants who arrange the exhibi-
ton deserve commentator for
staging a new sort of show. The
food show of the past was synony-
nous with large quantities of
samples. 1t left a bedazed mental
impression, wearied palate, and in
digestion. There we're samples to
be had at the Convention Hall food
show, but the feature that attract
ed the crowds, and to which visitors
gave attention, were the demonstra
tions and lectures on preparation of
foods.
The preparation of foods Is now
recognized as a science. There are
numerous books that discuss calories
and albumens in glib fashion. But
the demonstrations and talks at the
food show were Ineligible and
practical, the housewives found, and
the whole show was a sort of lab
oratory of household economics,

THERE IS A SOLUTION

MIR. Lansing, in discussing the eff
fects of the present war, once de-
clared that neutral nations have
had to meet a series of problems
which have never been solved"
America has one such problem on
its hands at this moment. A con-
spiracy, said to be the engine c. a
certain foreign government, has
been organized for the purpose of
destroying by bomb and torch the
plants in this country which furnish
arms and munitions to the allies.
This is not merely, an invasion of
American sovereignty: it constitutes
war upon American institutions, and
is indeed hostile to the United
States.
DR.. Josef Goricar, former Austro-
Hungarian consul at New York, in
an astounding revelation declares
that the agents of his government in
the United States have plotted
against munitions manufacturing in
America, and he asserts that among
the many thousands of his country
men here "a reign of terror has
been created" Since the publica-
tion of DR.. Goricar's accusations, it
has been alleged that the Depart
ment of State has in it's possession
evidence Of Objectionable activities
conducted by Alexander Won Nuber,
Austro- Hungarian consul general in
New York, and it is said his offenses
extend from completely in passport
frauds to schemes to prevent the ex-
portation of munitions of war.
All the machinery of the Govern
ment is in motion to uncover the
extent, the authors of, and the par
Elephants in the great conspiracy. It
is said that the Government intends
to make an example of those de-
tected. If it is true that it pos
sesses evidence which incriminates
Won Nuber, it should begin with him
as it's first example. His exequaturs
should be revoked and he be ex.
PEELED from the country, bag and
baggage. 1t is not common sense to
allow an arch-conspirator to be at
large. Remove the fountain-head
and its issue will cease to flow. II
is not justice to the nation to permit
the author of the worst evil in the
land to remain here because, per.
chance, If removed the embarrass.
ments attending our intercourse with
Austria Hungary might be ir.
creased.
AS for all others involved in the
conspiracy, the criminal laws of the
land are in full operation. If the
nationwide arson plot is to be
stamped out, the whole measure OF
the law must be applied in all its
rigor. 1t is the only way for the
law to vindicate itself; it is the onl,
way to prevent the intimidation OF
large industries; it is the only so
luton of a dangerous internationa
plot.

When an American President marries

No big nation furnishes the bride with

The groom doesn't have to worry

THE FORTS OF SAND

For months Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's troops have been fight
ing hard on the Dvinsk front. The
German official statement has said
at various times that the Russian
attacks before Dvinsk "were con-
tinued without the slightest sue
cess"
On the other hand, the Russian Of
ficial statement has said in prac-
tically the same language from time
to time the German attacks before
Dvinsk "were continued without the
slightest success"
Both the German and Russian
statements are true, for Dvinsk has
been captured two or three dozen
times, first by the Germans, then by
the Russians.
Newspaper readers who recollect
how Liege and the other forts
crumpled before the way of the Ger
man advance in Belgium and France
until the turn of the tide at the
Marne have wondered how Dvinsk
should not succumb to the great
guns of Germany and Austria. But
unlike the French and Belgian for
tifications, Dvinsk was not made of
concrete, stone, and steel. The Rus
sion fortress was constructed of
shifting sands, and therein lies the
secret. Gunners cannot knock to
pieces sand Notifications with the
ease that they have reduced con-
crete and steel. Projectiles are
smothered in the skillfully laid out
trenches.
The lessons of the war, upon which
Europe is spending billions of dol.
lars and millions of lives, ought to
be of value to America. The sand
fortress, erected at very little ex.
pense and holding out SO splendidly
for months, ought to be of interest
to our own national defense board
for use on our coasts should America
ever be attacked.

TERROR...A PRINcIPL e OF RULE

Thrice in the history of the world
has been witnessed "the scientific
application of :error as a principle
of rule" In the evening of the
Roman republic Sulla instituted it
under his dictatorship. 1t was ap-
piled for the second time under the
inexorable regime of the committees
in the morning of the French re-
public. Lastly it was adopted by
Germany when she decided to risk
all in war, knowing her instruments
and premeditating her course.
at is my opinion that to discon-
cert their measures and stop the
enemy We must make the royalists
fear" declared Danton before the
committee of general defense in
1892, proclaiming the advent of the
Terror. By his forces deeds the
German Emperor likewise has an
nounced that he is determined to
cow Europe through it's fear of his
terrible works. The barbarities prac-
ticed in Belgium, the aerial raids
upon Paris, the bombardment of
London by Zeppelins. the shelling of
undefended towns, the sinking of
the Lusitania, and countless other
crimes committed in the name of
war but that were pcrpetrated with
no military purpose, were all of a
kind with the program of terrorism
with which the Kaiser hopes to in
timidate his foes.
The idea seems not to be with the
German Emperor alone. DR.. Heinze,
liberal member of the reichstag, is
the author of book from which the
following is an excerpt: "If the al
lies hope by hunger to rob the Ger
man armies of victory no German
doubts that the general staff will ul-
timately expel millions of inhabi-
tants from occupied territory and
slaughter hundreds of thousands of
prisoners who are consuming Ger
man food"
In time the application of the
terror may cease to be scientific and
degenerate into the most purpose
less murder.

DRIVING THE WAR HOME

The allied nations have caused
the war to enter upon new phase.
Whether General Joffre has been as
signed the supreme command of
their land forces has not yet devel-
oped beyond doubt, but it is a fact
that there has been a Capitalization
of directive authority, and it may be
fair to assume that what has oc-
Cured in England, a concentration
OF power in three heads, is a
paradigm of what has occurred in
respect of the management of the
campaigns on the Continent. Per-
feet coordination would take up
slack and eliminate waste, but more
than all else it would secure the
maximum of results from the forces
in the field. Offensives on all the al
lied fronts ought to be related, and
the only way in which to maintain
this correspondence is through a
centralized council.
If this step has been adopted, the
next undoubtedly will be to drive
the war home to Germany by an
attempt to break through the
Kaiser's line. 1t is not generally
known how, in three years, the
armies of the French republic, be-
fore Napoleon appeared prominently
upon the scene, achieved greater
conquests and glory of arms than
did all the forces of Louis XIV ir
his entire reign. 1t was merely by
directing "the hottest fire at one
point and breaking the enemies
lines in two" A historian asserts
that "This new policy became the
basis of Napoleon's victories" This
same policy has been practiced by
the German general staff, and &C
counts for the greatest German sue
cesses. 1t does not always succeed
it failed in the attempted drive tt
Calais; it has just failed in the eff
Tort to capture Riga. But it sue

Win SOIdIeps.
At the outbreak Of the war a great
triumvlrate, Generals Joffre. Pau, and
Castelnau, was at the head OF the
French army. says the London Times.
The health OF General Pau led to his
retirement from the field, and General
Castelnau remained the right-hand man

his talents as a strategist.
While tho bitter controversies between
church and state were raging In France
General Castelnau with his clerical ira
ditions could scarcely expect promotion.
It was not until 1905 that he received n
generals stars. Since then his career
has been rapid. He commanded the
Twenty fourth brigade Of infantry at
Sedan. then tho Seventh brigade at
Scissors. and in 1909 he. assumed COM
mand OF the Thirteenth division at
Chaumont In this post his talents had
full scope, and It was quickly recogniz-
ed that In Castelnau france had gen.

He was called to Paris by General
Joffre in 1913 to become chief Of the
general staff. II was after one year Of
intimate cooperation with General
Joffre that the war broke out. General
Castelnau was given the command OF
the all-important army OF Lorraine
Here. with forces weakened by heavy
losses, he put up the fight which made
him famous. The victory Of lie Grand
Couronne was the first leaf OF the
laurel wreath which General Castelnau
Is helping to complete for France.
After the battle OF the Marine Castel-
