WAR RISE OF FOOD
PRICES WORLDWIDE
BY pae. and IntI News service.

BY Pac. and init News Service.
BERLIN, Feb. 2.-With the aid of
foreign market reports, the Frank
furter Zeitung" shows that the, enor-
nous rise of the food prices is not
confined to Germany and Austria.
Hungary, and that conditions are just
as bad in England, France, Italy and
Russia and even in the neutral coun.
tries. The paper says:
England is, of course, able to i'm.
port all foodstuffs needed, but the
question is. whether the nation can pay
for them. Wheat is already higher In
Great Britain than rye, the most i'm.
portant Germna bread grain, in Ger.
many. Flour Is sold cheaper in Ger.
many than in England and the meat
prices of the two countries do not
differ very greatly.
"In France according to the official
market reports, conditions are worse
than In England. In Paris and other
large cities the food prices are fixed
by commissions from week to week
but they rise steadily. Sugar has gone
UP 100 per cent since the beginning NJ
the war, flour ITO per cent and meat
$50 per cent. Vegetables also cost a
"a eat deal more than before the war
and potatoes are sold at 50 a hundred
pounds.
Russia suffers more from the high
prices than any other belligerent ma.
tlon, because the transportation ser.
vice is completely demoralized and the
government has tolerated too long the
oxtortlons OF grating spectators. who
are in many cases aided by public
officials.
Next to Russia the war is most
severely felt In Italy Although eight
months have passed since the Italians

GRIPPE
AND RELIGION.

A pastor at Beil~iontaine, Ohio, held
grippe rally" in the opera house.
1t was in the nature of religious ser
vices for citizens who had recovered
from the grippe. The building was
filled to overlooking, and when the
pastor asked everyone who had suf-
fered from the malady this winter to
rise the whole congregation stood up.
It's interesting enough, but we don't
quite see the point of IT, Anybody
outside OF Bellefontaine would suppose
that people who have got over the
grippe haven't any special need of re.
ligious services. If these good folk
really assembled for thanksgiving, the
idea is admirable enough. Anybody
who has recovered from the grippe
of going around gloating over fresh
victims, as most of us unregenerate
humans do. But 1t isn't evident that
the meeting was called for any such
purpose.
Wouldn't It be much better to have
grippe rallies for those not yet afflict-
ed? Then the congregation could be
given good and useful advice, such as
to keep the windows open, exercise
every day in the open air. eat simple
and nourishing food, avoid alcohol and
late hours. etc. Such recommends
lions, coming from pulpit, would
have weight. And they might very
properly be reinforced by prayers for
the well--for the preservation of their
health. Why should sick people have
all the prayers?
The congregation might be helped
nightly, too. by having its own n.y.
gienic faith strengthened. A man who
firmly believes he won't get the grippe
isn't likely to get 1t. If you doubt that,
count the Christian Scientists and
New Thought people in your neighbor.
hood and note the small percentage
of grippe sufferers.

MUNITIONS
PLANTS.

PLAN s.. $50 i
It might be ideal IL the government
were to make all its own munitions.
But there are certain practical diff
culties in the way.
General Croker, chief of the bureau
of ordnance of the United States army,
points out that to give our government
a monopoly of the munitions industry
would mean the investment of many
hundred millions of dollars of public
money, without adequate return. ITO
supply field army of 100000 men,"
he says, would take fifty Frankfort
arsenals.
There are about $500 different es.
adjustments now producing munitions
In Great Britain. War now means the
mobilization of all nations indus.
tries, as II means the mobilization OF
all the nations able-bodied men. Fac
tories of all sorts are turned to max
ing powder. shells. guns, etc.
II is undoubtedly wise for the gov
eminent to own small number of
munition plants, to serve as training
schools for army and navy experts
and provide a little competition with
private plants. But we must neces-
sarily depend, for the bulk OF our war
material, on private enterprise as the
European beliigerents are doing now,
merely giving the government au.
thority to control them In time of war.
