BERLIN. Dec. 29-(via. London}.- A circular has been issued by Adolph Y von Batocki, president of the Food l;ecnlation Board, 10 the federated governments, which it is pointed out hat next year generally there will be difficulties in the way of the govern tseut supplying food for the people Even the end of the war says Herr von Batocki, would only bring a slight change in the situation at first, be- cause the scarcity of food is world wide.
 Owing to a shortage in laborers. work animals, foodstuffs, fertilizers and transportation facilities, cities and industrial communities would be compelled to keep a careful watch over the food problem. The system oi f'Ning maximum of prices and re-empting commodities for public consumption, says Herr von Batocki has only worked well as regards grain It has proved a failure with other commodities and hence he advises municipalities to proceed on a larger basis than previously, in their placing or contracts with producers for the future delivery of meat. vegetables milk, butter and cheese

JAN SURVIVE
 WITHOUT WAR
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-War en- thusiasts who maintain that a nation will lose it's inherited, virile virtues by not going to war are not supported in their theory by present biological knowledge. in the opinion of Dr. Jacques Loeb head of the department If experimental biology of the Rocke- feller Institute. Dr. Loeb addressed the biological section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science on Biology and the War; late today. He contended that the struggle for existence" and survival of the fitteSt' are no laws of nature" in the sense in which the term law is used in the exact sciences.
 "The biology of which the war en- thusiasts make use is essentially anti Quated,' declared Dr. Loeb, and so we need not be surprised to find that they consider war to be based upon what they call the biological law of nature , the struggle for eXistence,' or the survival of the fittest.'
 These war enthusiasts maintain that unless a nation engages occasion ally in war it will lose all those virile virtues, especially courage, which are necessary for it's survival We do not need to argue whether the acts com mftted in a state of homicidal emotion are the real or only the manifestations If courage; We may also overlook the manifestations of virility left behind by invading or retreating armies
 The assumption that virility or courage twhatever may be meant by these terms) will disappear if not Dracticed in this form of war implies m improved and apparently false biological assumption namely that HfrrFN Nfa
 used will disappear in the offspring
 There is wide quantitative differ ence in the development of instinct and uf the power of inhibition in different human individuals and these differ ences may be hereditary. Individuals with strong homicidal mania, who lust manage to suppress their para . noic tendencies, will welcome war since it removes for them the burden of constant inhibition, and unfortun- ately such poorly balanced individuals
 rave rather too frequently been the leaders of government
 No human society can be expected to exist unless the necessity of SUD- pressing or curbing the harmful and pathological instincts of individuals is recognized"
 Addressing the American Anthropo- logical Association, Dr. Harley Stamp If the University of Pennsylvania, ex plained a new diagnosis of early evi- dences of tuberculosis by blood pres sure. By this method. he declared traces of tuberculosis could be deter mined some times four years in ad vance of methods previously used.
 Milton w. Harrison, secretary of the savings bank section of the American Bankers association, told the economic section of the scientists that one of the real causes of the high cost of living is lack of thrift in the individual.
 Needless expenditure" he said

SALINAS ELUDES GUARD AND QUITS
 UT IN HOSPITAL

Though suffering from the effects of a bullet wound in the head, inflicted in a revolver battle with Deputy Sheriff James Murphy on Wednesday morning, and weakened from the subsequent operation for the removal of the leaden pellet, Pedro Salina eluded his guard at the Sisters Hospital shortly before midnight last night, and attired only in night clothes, escaped in the darkness. How long he had been gone could not be definitely ascertained, but 1t is certain it could not have been more than ten or twenty minutes before his absence was discovered. An alarm was sent to the sheriffs office and to the police station and a dozen deputies and a half dozen policemen at once undertook the search for the fugitive.
 With no trail to follow, the man hunt resolved itself into a search of the entire Mexican quarter but at an early hour this morning the whereabouts of Salinas were as much a mystery as when his absence was first discovered It was believed that he must have had outside aid for it is pointed out that in his weakened condition he could hardly have proceeded far before col lapsing.
 Salinas was arrested by Deputy Murphy Wednesday forenoon after one It lle lUCSl eAClllnS gun DdllleS ever seen on the streets of Phoenix. There had been an attempted hold- up the night before. in which tho victim. Otto Glossbrenner, refusing to throw up his hands when two men threw the rays of a flashlight upon him. had been shot by one of the two highwaymen. Salinas was sus- pected, and while a search was in progress the next forenoon, two Mex jeans held uI a Chinaman on Easr Ie 'fersor street Deputy Murphy had just left the Chinaman's place altcr getting a description of the hold-Up men, when he encountered Salinas and two companions. Salinas immediately opened fire ana both he and Murphy emptied their guns at each other. Later Murphy, securing another gun. shot Salinas in the head 9s he was emerging from a house where he mad taken refuge. Salinas was removed to the hospital and d special deputy sworn in to act as guard.

in the Maxwell works.
Basis for 10 Per Cent Dividend.
But it is the steady march of Max
well motors over the country from fac
tory to individual operator that has put
$3,500,0O0 clean cash in the Maxwell
bank account with no debts. The out.
look, the orders ahead, and the manu-
featuring, selling and distribution or.
ganizations have placed Maxwell on its
present dividend base.
Yet, this 10 per cent dividend on
present output does not represent as
much as $12 per car, or 9 per cent of
the $595 selling price. Like Bethlehem
steel, the common stock, about $13,000,-
900, is in relation to the gross business
relatively small. Ahead of the common
stock is about $13,000,000 of per cent
first preferred stock, and about 100000.
900 of per cent second preferred. The
company has no debts, funded or float
ing. The dividend charges ahead OF the
common shares, including funds, are un-
der $l,750,000. Yet the company has
earned this past year about $5,5O0,000

price $50 per car.
Maxwell Methods.
Industrial success does not begin in
Wall street. 1t begins in the factory
And if it deals with raw material it
begins in the laboratory. Maxwell has
several plants and more than one labor
atory.
Maxwell is not an assembling propo-
sition. 1t is built complete in the Max
well plants.
Maxwell employs about $500 hands in
Detroit. But altogether there are more
than 10000 on the Maxwell payroll
of which $500 are at Newcastle, Ind,
dealing for forgings, front axles, steer
ing gear and Transmission. There are
1000 employees in the shops at Dayton,

Reasons for Success.
The program of Maxwell is due:
First, to the one model policy.
Second, good name, never changed
and always mechanically maintained
Third, sound financial policy.
Fourth, good generalship manifesting
itself in every detail from laboratory
and shop efficiency to an educational
advertising campaign and an intelligent

Fifth, consistent large educational
