LIVE STOCK WAS CHEAP IN 1114

The increased cost of living. though the increase is by no means so great as we might have expected, lends an interest to volume just issued by the Pipe Roll Society. From the introduction one gathers an idea of prices in 1I94. Certain land was to be stocked and a price for each class of stock was fixed. oxen figure at four shillings, cows a shilling less. Farm horses were also four shillings a head, pigs were a shilling, and sheep stood at sixpence. Incidentally the book proves the antiquity of the fa- mliar fine of forty shillings, for it records it's imposition IS long ago as 11S5 on one who had oVerthrown a pillory. Chronicle

MAY BE FAT, YET UNDF REED
Lack Of Muscle Building Foods Often
 Results in Malnutrition

The majority of people do not un- derstand that a person may be fat, ex- cessiVely fat, and still be underfed and weak from lack of proper nourish- ment.
 One may eat to excess of starch foods hot breads, oils and sweets and as result be rolling in fat and at the same time show a severe case of malnUtrition, evidenced by lack of strength in muscular effort or mental concentration
 The system needs these foods, for they are known as the fuel foods" because they furnish the body heat, but the system also needs an abund- ance of the very elements of which the body or rather the muscular fiber is composed. These muscle making foods are fresh meat eggs and milk, fresh vegetables and fruits
 If one is in the habit of eating rather heartily of a mixed diet and is growing fat upon it, then reduce the amount of sweets, starches and fats and you will find plenty of nourish- ment in the muscle building foods.
 In addition to attention to diet, however attention must be paid to the need of fresh air and exercise if one would keep from becoming too fat If you would have a good figure practice deep breathing and exercise in addition to cutting down on ones diet.

Where the People
 May Have Hearing
OUR FOREIGN POLICY

To the Editor of The Republican,
 Sir: The much heralded and headlined change of policy" by the present administration in regard to Mexican affairs is rather confusing to the casual reader and observer who nas as yet failed to discern any well defined policy whatever in the conduct Of our relations with McM- co. unless 1t be the widely ridiculed and caricatured one of "W&tchful waiting"
 To anyone conversant with the character of the people and pre- Vailing conditions in Mexico, it was as apparent two years ago as it is today that decisive intervention by the United States and ta establish ment and firm support of a govern ing body, provisional or otherwise, was the only possible solution of the Mexican troubles. Had the ad- vice of Henry Lane Wilson, our then representative in Mexico. been needed and had HueTta been recognized as de facto president, as he was by other great powers, in all proba- bility a stable government would have resulted and the death and destruction. misery and suffering which since have made Mexico d horror, avoided. The fact that Huerta was quite generally regarded as cold blooded murderer and a besotted tyrant, made such recogni- tion distasteful and it is just possi- ble that something of pique from the fact that Huerta had rather the peter of such diplomatic fencing and correspondence as was carried on between himself and our execu- tive and state departments may have had some bearing in the refusal to recognize him.
 Our ultimatums were disregarded, our warnings ignored and there the matter rested. True, our army of occupation. or navy rather. did col !ect some several millions of dollars, rort duties etc, but with the posi-
 tive disavowal of any intention of appropriating them, and by the way if no other disposition has been made of those funds, they might well be used now in relieving the distressing conditions prevailing among the Mexican people. Eliminat- ing Huerta as unworthy our sup port, another alternative was the selection of some other prominent and acceptable Mexican, as CarranZa, for instance. and openly giving him our aid and support in forming and establishing stable government. But no. say our worthy president and secretary, we won't do that openly and above board because it is not in accord with our play of non-irtervention. but we will take off the embargo on arms and military supplies and let the CarranZa com hinatiCn work out their own saliva
 tiOn by killing off the Huerta ad herents. This resulted beautifully for the purveyors Of antiquated arms and military equipments in the United States. All the various fac tions were supplied with arms, at a price. and went merrily to war or rather to murdering, footing and plundering until now there is little left in Mexico to loot and plunder and n-combatants, women and children are facing starvation.

 In addition to these sources of in formation there have been boards of arbitration. commissions, congresses. conferences and conventions. In the interests of humanity and modern civilization statesmen from Argentine, Brazil and Chile have been called in conference and nobly responded, and still the Mexican people are starving at our gates.

 DigrCssing somewhat. is it not more than possible that other na- tions. which have observed our course with Mexico. have acquired somewhat the same sort of respect for us that the Mexicans entertain  lack of effect of the various ultima tums and warnings issued to MeXico the recent note or communication to Germany concerning the Lusitania affair. while it is properly eXtolled as a document of greate literary merit and scholarly composition, is not accorded any more serious con siderution than would be the school boys warning, If you do that again you had better look out" In fact Germany appears to view it with q rather exasperating indifference and seems inclined to enter into a long distance correspondence on the sub iect. which is a rather bold stand for it to take in view of the fact that it is along that line that both President Wilson and Secretary Bryan are at their best.
 Of course the indifference of Ger many to even formal declaration of war by this country is almost entirely attributable to the facts and conditions clearly and logically set forth in The Republicans leading editorial of this Sunday morning.
 Summing up and allowing all claims for merit, literary or other wise. in the various state cOmmuni- cations and diplomatic notes, what appreciabic result has been at taned? True, the administration is entitled to sort of negative com mendation for not putting into war where there was no occasion to do SO The intervention of this coun- try and the establishment of a stable government in Mexico could be ac- complished under the guidance of strong hands without resorting to that could be properly dig nified by the title of war. This will be rendered somewhat more difficult now by the weakness displayed by the present administration, as the Mexicans respect only strength strength of purpose and strength of arm. The high moral plane on which this administration vaunts itself as standing, is a little too exalted for

SAY U-BOAT HID FROM ARABIC
German Submarine Concealed
Herself Behind Hulk.

Liverpool, Aug. 23.-According to
survivors of the steamer Dunsley, tor
pedoed by a German submarine just
before the White Star liner Arabic
was sunk, the underwater craft hid
behind the Dunsley's unsunk hulk to
lay in wait for the larger vessel. The
survivors declare they had been order
ed of their ship and were in lifeboats
when the submarine concealed herself
from the approaching Arabic.
It IL stated that when the liner
came close enough to make an attack
possible the submarine submerged,
went around the Dunsley's stern and
launched the fatal torpedo. Survivors
say that the German boat, which came
up alongside the Dunsley bore no
number.
No previous definite statement as to
the fate Of the Dunsley has come
through from London. 1t was announc-
ed that she had been torpedoed, but
1t had not been known whether she
succeeded in reaching port with her
passengers.

Washington, Aug. 23.-lt was an

liner Arabic and to ask an explanation.
Washington, Aug. Extension in.
creased in official quarters here when
consular messages forwarding affida-
Wits Of American survivors Of the
British liner Arabic brought definite
information that the vessel was tor
pedoed without warning and at least
some Americans had been lost. 1t
seemed that but one point remained
to be cleared up-whether the Arabic
attempted to ram the submarine or
whether a change of the liners
course to assist the already sinking
British steamer Dunsley nearby was
misinterpreted by the German SUBJ
marine commander as a hostile ap-
proach.
America in Receptive Mood.
The attitude of the American gov
eminent for the moment is receptive,
anxiously awaiting accurate details
and ~reserving judgment as to wheth-
er the action was deliberately un-
friendly" The final decision rests with
President Wilson. The president mo-
tored to Philadelphia to see an ocu-
list. He had consulted Secretary
Lansing before leaving and conferr-
ed with him again. No statement
was forthcoming, as details from
abroad were lacking, but everywhere
in official quarters the grave aspects
of the case were discussed. The gen
eral trend of comment was that the
American government had reached
the point where it must now decide
whether it would sever diplomatic
relations with Germany.
Word From Survivors Awaited.
In addition to awaiting information
from the American survivors, the EN-.
bassy in London and c~onsuls, the off,
Gals expect word from Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin to indicate whether
the attack without warning on the
Arabic had the sanction of the Ger
man government. Should Germany
offer IN explanation, stating there were
qualifying circumstances, such az
an attempt by the Arabic to escape or
ram the submarine, the disposition on
Germany's part 20 discuss the case
would in all likelihood be construed
here as a disvowal of any intention
deliberately to violate the principles
for which the United States has con
tended.
Officials here have found it difficult
to reconcile the act with previous dec
larations from Germany that the pur-
pose Of the submarine warfare was to
prevent the carriage of munitions of
war to the Allies.
The Arabic was bound for an Am
erican port and carried therefore nc

DECIDES UPON TWO STEPS
Wilson and Advisors Fix Tentatively
Upon Course to Be Taken az
to Germany.

Washington, Aug. 23.-Before the
last note to Germany, which was de-
signed to terminate the diplomatic
interchange regarding the submarine
issue was cabled to Berlin, the Presi-
dent and his advisors deemed it wise
to fix tentatively upon the steps that
would be taken if Germany disre-
garded the warning then given.
Although no intimation was given
that the government had any suspic-
ion that the German government
would commit a breach of the prin-
ciples stated by the United States,
the fact was that the actual decision
was reached at that time, so that the
future relations Of the United States
with Germany were made to depend
entirely upon the conduct of the lat
ter nation.
Decide Upon Two Steps.
According to the best information
secured In the interval since the note
was dispatched, two steps were de-
cided upon tentatively. These are:
First-the severance Of diplomatic
relations-a step which the president
may take upon his own constitutional
authority.
Second-Congress to be called into
session Immediately to receive full
information from the executive branch
of the government as to the acts Of
Germany SO that it may exercise its
prerogative deciding what further
steps II any shall be taken to main
tain the honor OF the country and
protect the rights Of its citizens.
National Defense Program.
It Is believed that the first move
the president would make after sub
hitting the issue to congress would
be to present his national defense
program.
