ployed in effecting peace when the specific case
arises that must be dealt with. But when the
present is ended, the memories of the havoc
that it has wrought to every nation engaged in it
will force forward mighty forces to form some sort
of association which will serve for insurance
against the coming of the like again.
The idea of world court to handle interna-
tional disputes is, of course, not new but the sig
MITIGATION Of it's repeated presentation lies in the
likely readiness of the nations to assent to 1T when
they have at last tasted to the bitter dregs the
pains of this struggle. Heretofore the proposition
has seemed good of course, but theoretical. Some
thing to be desired surely but no nation caring
really enough about it to take firm hold upon it
and make it real.
War, too it should be remembered, has down
the ages been of mans great activities. 1t ap-
peals SO to the primitive in human nature that its
final uprootment will be wrought only with great
est difficulty But those who hope for means of
ending it take heart in this, that mans ancient
proneness for strife can only be eliminated by he
roic and that the present in its vast
and frightfulness will supply just these rem
edies.
These thoughts are called forth by the news dis
patches Friday from Paris telling of congress
there of the League OF the Rights of Man. This
congress commended the idea of the formation of
society of nations to avert all war in the future.
This society,"" says a resolution passed by the
gress, shall be based upon the recommendation
of the right of nations great and small, to indie
pendence, upon the institution of compulsory ar
bitration applicable to all international conflicts
without exception and reserve and upon the organ
zation of international forces capable of repress
ing by appropriate penalties all attempts at re-
volt or aggression. To insure lasting peace in the
future the treaty must not contain germs of war
or revenge. 1t shall consecrate the right of peo-
pies dispose of their destinies and shall not
provide for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT annexation of
territory against the will of the population"
This is the proposal not Of the French govern
ment to be but of group of French citizens,
but it shows what thought the present is
evolving there. Similar sentiments likely to
come from other of the begerents before the
war is done Neutral nations seem in accord in
welcoming it. .. ..
1t may not be possible to end war yet even
after the close of the big conflict. But thing
seems clear and that is that there is going TO be
put forward much more thought and much more
energy by the people everywhere than has ever
been the before to prevent another such sweep
of destruction as now devastates the world.

Food Economy.

The rising price of food products and the ad-
vice of retail and wholesale grOcers to the house
wife to stricter economy in the preparation and
use of food brings to attention once more the fact
that as savers far behind other nations Our
ideas of economy both in the of things and in
the thrifty habit of saving money persist with
from the early days of the country when the peo-
ple were few and the natural resources opuent
with plenty. Our ideas have not been scaled down
to the exactness of limit that prevails in European
countries where the population presses upon the
resources of the land. -...... ....
And in these countries, now at war, stand
ards of family economy have been set, which even
for such other minute conservers unthought
of before Germany's bread supervision and its
other government direction to consumers the
use and preparation of foods have brought the
German people, cut of from the outside world, as
they are safely to the third year of the war in
health and strength. upon home resources alone.
A magnificent accomplishment indeed!
Though such severity Of food may never be-
come necessary desirable in this country,
beless with the price of all food articles marching
upward, more serious thought must be expended
along the thrifty lines that are customary in
European countries. In the conditions now pre-
vailing anything that looks like waste in the prep
aration of food or in the service thereof seems
the part of stupidity Yet the totals of the wastage
of good food in this country would undoubtedly
run to vast figures daily.
Still the desired saving cannot be accomplished
with the old methods and old ideas in operation.
There must entire revision of practice.
Ideas must be readjusted to the narrowed circle
of supply and made commensurate with the newer
value given 70 all articles of necessity by the
du1rements OF the world.
