Washington, March 5.-Great Britain
is determined TO starve out Germany,
according to information received Mt
the State Department to-day. Orders
in Council, shortly to be issued will
show that the Anglo French plan OF
long range blockade will result In the
stopping Of shipments Of every sort
of supplies 20 Germany. At the same
time these Orders in Council will not
work so gravely TO the disadvantage Of
American shippers IA had been at first
feared.
The Orders in Council will decree
that the '1ong range blockade" will
differ from previobs conceptions OF n
blockade In that ships bearing car
goes for Germany will not be seized
and their hulls and 'cargoes con-
fiscated, but will simply be held up
and compelled TO dispose Of their car
goes for the benefit of the shipper
at British or French ports. according
to which nation makes the arrest OF
the vessel on the high seas.
Another section of the orders Will
set forth the intentions Of the Allies
with regard TO mixed cargoes. Where
ships carrying cargoes are destined IN
part for Germany and in part for one
or more Of the neutral nations, such
as Denmark, Holland. Norway or
Sweden, the portion destined for Ger
many will be removed from the ship
and disposed of for the benefit of the
consignors, while the remainder will
be permitted to proceed to its neutral
destination.
The orders, as thus foreshadowed'
are considered here as establishing
new precedent in international AFFAIRS.
The long range blockade is in no sense
the kind of blockade which interna-
tionai law recognizes, and yet on the
other hand the effects of its enforce
ment are by no means so drastic

fscation on the cargoes or ships wnich

LONG RANGE
TELEPHONlNG

The rate of $2l for three minutes
talk over the new telephone line from
Boston to San Francisco, viii be
prohibitive for ordinary conversation
Yet 1t will be used more for business
than most people realize.
The growing use OF the telephone
over distances of a thousand miles
or more is feature OF mode n life.
1t Is SO much more satisfactory than
letters. The most essential point of
your letter may be passed over al
most unnoticed by correspondent.
1t is remarkable how many good bus.
mess men fail to express themselves
definitely when It comes to putting
II In black and white. They leave
out some essential point, and the cor.
respondence has to begin all over
again.
To many people who do not have
large business interests. a converse
ton over a hundred miles seems a
rather clustering experience. Quite
frequently they ask some one to talk
for them, though their hearing may
be perfectly good. Their ordinary
faculties are bewildered by the won.
der OF a scientific marvel that is tho
merest commonplace to the business
man.
Long distance telephony depends
on complete perfection Of connection.
Patrons may submit to the struggle
to make their voices heard above u
buzzing wire on short distance
connection, repeating and spelling out
words over and over again to guard
against mistake. But at 81 per mi
mute, there can not be single link
OF noisy line.
1t is quite an art TO use costly tel
ephone conversation with a minimum
| expense. A great deal can be Said
/ in three minutes. The points Of the
| conversation and the questions To be
asked should be written out as care
fully as II you were delivering for
NAL address. Every time You say

There never were any quIzzes, be.

ZONE WAY OUT"

A book with the above title, pub
lished year or two ago. to d vivid
story of how two young people, GA
being forced to give up regular
salary and live on the proceeds of
day labor. got along on very slen.
der income. One of the Ideas EN-.
phasized was that they bought most
of their clothing and furniture, and
a large part OF their food at adyertis-
ed sales, where they got large re-
auctions.
This is one of the most pra.tical
ideas as to how the cost of living
can be reduced. 1t seems strange
that there are people who Will growl
about high prices. and yet fail to
take advantage of these chances.
Here in our columns is a constant
record of genuine chances to save
money. They are particularly in
evidence at this season of year, when
old stocks have to be closed out. But
every week in a year there are good
chances being offered by live mer'
chants.
Newspaper advertising Is SO uni
versally read that practically every
one knows about these opportunities
But the spirit of inertia that Is con-
stantly keeping people from realizing
their opportunities, keeps some from
swapping up these chances.
Often these bargains go to the well
to do, who constantly display the
same qualities OF thrift by which
they won an Independent position
Meanwhile many hard pressed people
on the verge Of bankruptcy, are toe
INDECENT to seize the constant oppor
tunities offered to save money.

THE HIGH COST OF
DISTRIBUTION mo. 81

It is a complicated structure OF
middlemen through whose hands food
products pass from producer to con
sumer. Many fruits and vegetables
go through FIVE hands. A local buyer
and shipper purchases from the farm
ers. He sells to a commission deal
er in some city. The commission
man often puts the fruit in the hands
of an auction house. The auction
house sells to jobber. The jobber
sells to the retailer.
Five profits have to be paid, Ov.
erhead charges on five distinct enter
prises have to be settled for In ad-
dition carriage and freight charges
are multiplied. No wonder 1t is q
costly thing to live in the United
States!
Five middlemen are perhaps In ex.
cess of the usIa. number. Yet prob
ably the averagc article Of food goes
through four hands after leaving the
farmer.
The wholesale and commission
trade Is one in which many abuses
develop. A commission merchant
may at also as a jobber If he sees
the market rising, he can transfer
the farmers product from his account
as a commission agent to his ac-
count as a iobbe", paying the farmer
n commission on the low price only.
Then he can sell out at high price,
thus making two profits for one han.
ding.
The majority OF the wholesalers
and commission men are no doubt
honest But abuses like these have
been very common, and all mount
up to enhance the price the consum.
err pays, besides impoverishing the
farmer.
The wholesal business has its large
function. But the economi. experts
feel that there are too many middle.
men, and that they make too much
money. that by the proper initiative
on the part of farmer and consumer,
much Of their profit can be cut out.
Europe. which Americans consider
as being far behind our country has
achieved wonders In eliminating
these super6uous profits. It seems
slow and stupid on the part OF Am.
orleans to fail to do likewise.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
OUR POPULATION

An excursion steamer may be able
to carry 1000 persons, IL they are ev.
emily distributed. IL they all crowd
over OH one side, 200 might overload
her.
The census experts are now debat-
ing whether the United States pass
ed the 1OO,GOO,OOO mark on January
81, or will pass 1t on April 2. Which
ever is nearer correct, in many dis.
tricts our country already shows
symptoms of over population.
Yet the experts say there IS room
here for a population reaching into
billions, II the farm lands are inten-
sively cultivated.
Our cities seem to think that when
they pass the half million or million
mark, they have accomplished some
wonderful human achievement.
Actually what has happened has
been that lot of human sheep, daz-
zled by lighted streets and flashy en-.
tertainments, have abandoned the
economi. functions for which they
were best fitted.
They rush in occupations already
too crowded, while the basic task Of
providing food lacks workers.
Our population, speaking roughly,
is increasing at the rate of about 20
per cent in 10 years The agricul.
tural population of food producers
remain somewhere near stationery.
OF course food prices rise.
When you hear of boy who thinks
of leaving some farm for some store
or some factory, ask him whether ne
is going because he feels some pc
culiar fitness for the new work, or
because he wants to get to
some place where there is some.
thing doing"
If the latter is the fast, as is u.s.
ually the case, then tell him that he
is selling out his chances on rising
the products of which are
scarce, in order to buy into falling
where there are too many
workers. That is poor policy, IL he
has an ambition to rise.

GRIFFITH HAS
SLIGHT SHADE ON
. FREDDIE WELSH

Akron, Ohio, Feb. Johnny Crit
fths, local lightweight, outpointed
Freddie Welsh, the champion, in a
twelve round bout here tonight, ac-
cording to the majority of newspaper
men who saw the fight. No decision
was given.
The fighting was fast and Grifiiths'
advantage, IL any was only shade.
He showed particularly well in the
seventh and eighth rounds, and was
very fast in the first six rounds. The
sixth, tenth and eleventh rounds
were given by the newspaper men to
the champion, however, and his work
in these to great extent offset Grit
fiths early advantage.
The champion showed himself SUI.
perior at infighting and forced the
light all the way through. Grifiths
tried to keep his opponent at long
range fighting In which the local boy
used his left to good advantage.
While both were supposed TO weigh
In this afternoon at 1876 pounds,
Welsh refused to get on the scales
and they fought at catchweights,
Welsh weighing about 139 pounds.

put her on the right track.
Prof. Hornbrook explained tina,
Mrs. Stoner had been successful In
teaching music. art, poetry, history
and languages because she herself
loved those studies, and had failed
to teach mathematics because she
had not brought the fairy interest into
