Was 1t the Bremen?

We are inclined to believe that
the long expected Bremen, supposed
to be a sister ship of the Deutsch-
land, made its appearance at New
port, r |, last Saturday in the form
of the German submarine U-53 and
emphasized the fact of its presence
in American waters Sunday by tor
pedoing six merchant vessels belong
ing to enemy countries. Either this
or there was fleet of German sub
marines off Nantucket with tender
or supply ship not far off. 1t is our
belief that the ordinary war type of
the German submarine could not
make a voyage from a German to an
American port unattended.
Again, it is probable that the Ger
man Government built and sent the
Deutschland out on a voyage to the
United States as an experiment. then
seeing that this particular type of
submarine made the trip success
fully, the Bremen was armed and
dispatched on a mission of destruc.
ton instead of being sent as a com.
merce carrier.

Why Are Prices Soaring?

With the price of wheat. -four
corn and many other articles that
form the basis of food supplies IN
the United States lower in Europe
than in the United States this one
question is very pertinent: What
is the cause of these enormously
high prices at homer In the face
of the fact that wheat and flour are
selling in the European war coun-
tries, Germany excepted, for less
money than is being asked for 1T
here at home it cannot be truth
fully claimed that the demand for
our product by the war stricken
countries is the real cause, because
it is not plausible that our people
would send their food products, the
very staff of life, to Europe to be
sold at a lower price than they could
get for them in the home markets.
The United States Government made
an investigation as to the prices pre-
vailing in Europe and the above con-
ditions were found to exist.
The New York Evening World
makes this editorial complaint:
The high cost of nearly everything
q family needs has become a matter
of nationwide comment and alarm.
Latest reports show that meat. veg.
;etables and dairy foods are nearing
prices on an average twice as high
as a year ago. Potatoes cost three
times as much. Flour has advanced
60 per cent. The price OF onions
has doubled, Butter sells IL per
cent and cheese % per cent higher.
Even the lowly cabbage that sold
for 66 cents per barrel year ago is
now quoted at So.
What this means to family bud
gets needs no demonstrating. House
keepers everywhere are complaining
that five dollar bill buys scarcely
more than half the provisions it
bought this time last year.
Where is it to end? 1t is true
wages in some quarters have gone
up. But the vast majority of Amer
ican families of modest means have
had no addition to their incomes.
Is it the war? And if so, how!
This country produces plenty of food
for it's own needs and that food un-
der ordinary circumstances can be
sold at normal prices. What is this
war price" plea so frequently and
loosely offered? Are Americans be-
ing cheated out of enormous quanti-
ties of their own food products in
order that somebody may harvest
huge profits abroad? Or is there a
gigantic conspiracy on the part OF
producers, wholesalers and retailers,
to capitalize the troubled state of the
world and get what they can out OF
the American consumer?
Everywhere anxiety is growing to
have these questions answered. The
rising cost of American food in
America is rapidly becoming q mat
ter of national moment. 1t calls for
deep and thorough probing by the
highest authority and intelligence
the nation can bring to the job.

Heat Spots,

The white spots caused by hot
dishes can be removed by rubbing
fresh lard on them. The lard should
be rubbed in with the fingers. If the
spots are very bad it will be neces-
sary to leave the lard on a few hours.
1t is then rubbed off with a soft cloth.
The lard will not injure the finish Of
the table. A finely polished dining
table, otherwise ruined by hot dishes,
can be thus reclaimed.

Values.

The man who values his life over
much, who pursues alluring ambition,
and thinks affectionately of the tai
ents enshrined in his body, does not
risk 1t lightly. Nature will often play
the trick Of creating big frame and
hooking its great vitality by endow-
ing it with an over-keen instinct Of
self-preservation.

AMERICA AND BELGIUM.

Most Americans probably wis today, that the United States Ina dprotested against the German invasion of Belgium the time when it happened. The whole at titude of the nation since has been protest against the ruthless act It that which turned American sentiment against Germany.
 As look back that event, in the light of disas ment on it, most of probably feel that were at least under moral obligation to protest-that we failed in moral duty.
 Whether we were legally bound to protest, under the
 terms of The Hague Conventions guaranteeing the neutrality Belgium is harder decide. It is ques- tion legal they agreed about it.
 But there needn't any as to whether the United States obligated by The Hague Conventions, in by force in aid Belgium when Germany attack d her. For that very agreement which signed along yith the other powers carried this express provso
 Nothing contained in this convention shall be require the United States depart from it's traditional policy of ntrudng upon interfering with Ir entangng itself in the political questions of policy lternal administration of any foreign state"
 That proviso inserted at the instance of delegates partly relieve the legal necessity of taking part in any of Europe's quarrels and partly for insisting Europe keeping hands off in Amer ca, willing to keep hands off Europe. It was coroary of our Monroe Doctrine and calculated to make the European powers respect that doctrine
 There ought be any confusion about this i'm portant matter We under legal obligation to in terfere by force We are under legal obligation to interfere the future in any part of Europe matter what happens. We not tied to any Europeans by any convention" any treaty. Whether we shall attack any antion, defend any, rests solely with conscience
 It is conceivable that might undertake to fight for Belgium yet if she failed otherwise get back her independence with compensation for her wrongs. But if should do it would be a gratuitious act-not act to which bound by any pledge given.

Admiral Winslow Declares His Pacific Fleet is Ridicu- lously Weak; Even Reserve Insufficient.
MATTER POSTPONED
 TO EXECUTIVE SESSION
Military Committee in Satis- factory Progress; Chesa- peake Bay will be Strength ened by Qualifications.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-While the House Military Committee was taking steps towards getting it's bill for in- creasing the regular army and federal izing the National Guard before the House in ten days, the Naval Commit tee was being told by Admiral Wins low that the entire Pacific fleet which he commands, might be an easy victim to a single good enemy battleship. He made the statement smilingly. Press ed by Representative Stephens for an exact description of the condition of the ships in his command, Winslow said the force was wholly inadequate even with all reserves to meet any probable enemy in the Pacific. He de clared the Navy Department plans for meeting an emergency in the Atlantic and Pacific are a matter of strategy and he didn't care to reveal them ex- cept in confidentioal session.
 The military committee is making rapid progress in considering the bill which Chairman Hay was authorized to frame which has been printed con fidentally. It is expected this draft will be made public this week and that it will be favorably reported to the House next week. It is hoped to have it's consideration in the House fixed to follow the immigration bill. It was suggested that night sessions might be started to hasten the con- mittee task of perfecting the measure.
 Brigadier General Crozier. chief of Army Ordnance, told the House forti- fcations committee that the heaviest new Notifications would be placed at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay. which he described as one Of several places where facilities for landing operations are so good that it Is worth while to especially fortify them to prevent that operation. notwithstanding that they are not places where inadmissable damage could be done by guns of a fleet
