DIR. Solf. imperial secretary Of state for
the German colonies, Is continuing the
lecture campaign on which he has en-
banked with a view to urging Upon the
public the necessity for persistence in a
German colonial policy despite the present
discouraging state of affairs. The under
taking would seem to be opportune from
the point of view of the German colonial
office, for in addition to the socialist ele-
ment which is always inclined to look
with distrust on colonial expansion as
being synonymous with capitalistic en-
terprise, there are nan in Germany who
argue nowadays that the realization Of
he central Europe and Berlin Bagdad
ideals would be a satisfactory substitute
for a colonial empire. while others argue
that Germany would need no colonies Of
her own II she won the freedom of the
seas in war as In peace. and others still
doubt the desirability of colonial pos
sessions if they n be defended from
hostile attack.
DIR. Soils main argument has already
been outlined in a previous dispatch, but
additional light was thrown On one or
two points by the publication of a more
detailed report of a lecture recently given
by him in Frankfort. at which Princess
Friedrich Karl, OF Hesse and Princess
Adolf zu Schaumburg- Lippe, the two sis
tiers of the kaiser, were present.
IN the lTSC pace, ne asserted hat
hitherto Germany had not been influenced
by international political considerations
(M~achtpolitische Erwagungen) in her
choice OF colonies, but that the war had
shown that this would be necessary in
future. Hitherto Germany had never
reckoned with external foes In her COL
onies. and relying on the provisions and
spirit of the Congo act and the solidarity
81 the interests of the white race, had
merely maintained n colonial garrison
large enough to preserve internal order.
II. however. the attack on the German
p-rotectorates had greatly undermined the
prestige Of the white race, the employ
ment of colored troops in Europe had
dealt It a direct blow. The behavior Of
these troops and he plans for their ex-
tended employment rendered II obliga-
tory on Germany to do all in her power
to prevent her sons from having to fall
at the hands of such adversaries. and to
that end she must pursue a colonial
policy from An international political
standpoint. II. said DIR. sof. we gan so

The Meat They Feed On.
United States Soldiers Given Best Food That Can Be
Bought In Market.
From tho CHICAGO News.

Wv
II Uncle Sans fighting men-those OF
the cogular army and militia now on the
border and those scattered elsewhere
urc receiving their meat products in the
same condition as they leave the chicago
packing plants, they are getting as good
food az can be obtained. according TO
packers and army officials.
When the food now ordered leaves the
stock yards it is of the quality ordered by
the government and prepared In q sclen-
.ihc manner to meet all requirements OF
climate and conditions. AS to how 1t
reaches the mess tables-that Ia another
story. Much there will depend upon the
company cooks.
Difference Lies With Cooks.
Some cooks will make a feast for kings
omt OF the contents of the tin cans sent
.hem. but others-well, az Lieut.. Col. AL
,ert D. Knisker, of the quartermaster's
corps. who has charge OF these supplies.
says:
Most complaints we receive come from
tho militia regiments. and they may be
charged up to inexperience. incompetent
saoks-that Is cooks who may be first
CLASS men in a restaurant or club. but
who have had no experience In the field,
cooking for hundreds without the tools
and equipment at hand that they would
have. ut home-that Is the chief reason.
Other reasons may fall upon the inexperi-
pnc. OF commanding officers. They may
mt ut first know how to provide for their
men. On company may be starving be-
wn,Ae OF foods spoiled through lack Of
proper care-the next company may be
living in plenty on the same %rations."
Bacon BY the Million.
THAT the food Is first class when II
leaves Chicago was verified today by a
visit to the big packing plants at the
stock yards. where government orders for
corned beef 10000 pounds OF roast beef
and 10000 pounds OF corned beef hash is
tselng prepared and rushed to the border
posts.
Uncle Sam Is buying the best meats
to be had" declared Colonel Knisker at
the quartermaster's depot. 115-12S East On
tarto street. III there is any criticism as
to the quality Of supplies or the manner In
which are are prepared, then the fault lies
entirely with the government officials, for
the packers prepare the foodstuffs from
formulas furnished by the government
they pack 1t In manners prescribed by the
government, and during this unexpected
demand occasioned by the calling out Of
the militia of all states the packers nave
held up other orders and have gone out Of
their way to get government foods out
