with dictator on horseback the American

the recovery of the old st. Petersburg and
Moscow autocracy as quite impossible.
While Russia burns with a new fever,
China SINNERS heavily with an affection
that is not so very different. Yesterday
reaction leaped into the saddle in Peking
and it looked as if the Manchu pigtail were
again imposed upon the Chinese by the
ancient mandarin regime, with child !,
emperor as an emblem. To-day there ~
assurance that this little squirt Of imperial
ism is but the last wiggle of the old Chi
nese dragons tail, and that the Republi-
cans are coming back again forthwith all
the stronger for the monarchical spasm.
General Chang Hsun's troops have been
bottled up in the Temple of Heaven
where the tiny emperor is falling off his
all too slippery throne. Peking is sur
rounded by Republican troops, which had
various encounters with the imperial
troops on the way to the capital. South
China is so certain that this reactionary
coup will fail that she is inclined to be
glad that it occurred, if only to expose
"the pathetic weakness Of the reactionary
movement" A reward of 100000 is Of
fered for General Chang Hsun's head,
though one Tien-Tsin newspaper asks if
his head is worth so much.

The Neutrals to Have What
America Can Spare

(tlllCIlCd Ndil DPdIC
But while the embargo power is COM
plete and the force Of it irresistible, TO
President Wilson is attributed a desire to
parcel out to the neutrals all the food the
Allies can spare, provided none Of it
reaches Germany. In other words, the
practical application of the great embargo
may be less severe than its formal .insti-
tuition suggests. The President lays down
the principle that American needs must
first be taken care Of, lest the American
poor find their stomachs as empty as do the
poor who lickshe barrels on Amsterdam's
fat quays. Next the needs Of the Allies
will be administered TO. Then may come
the neutral divers, with their soup bowls,
asking for more.
From Washington come limitations that
the rights Of the Latin-America neutrais
will be less violently disposed Of and
even "leniently treated" No desire to in
fluence Mexico into joining the Allies by
trade pressure manifests itself at the
capital, Mexican neutrality being regarded
ae the more convenient.
The practical device used for the embar-
20 enforcement is license. No ship can
issue from an American port for foreign
after July 10 without a special license from
the President. The President is also en-
powered to make or break shipping COM
pany by refusing coal for its fuel bunkers
unless it accepts such cargoes as are vital
rather than such cargoes as are profitable.
The list of commodities under specific con-
troll includes coal and oil, grains, -four,
meal, fodder, meats, fats, steel billets, pig
iron, ship plates, structural shapes and
scrap iron.
Strong pressure is being brought to bear
Upon Washington TO place an immediate
embargo on wheat. A sixty-day embargo
upon all food by all the Allies is in con-
temptation, with view 10 taking stock.
Germany, in this scheme Of things, doesn't
eat.

Iork's wayside booze shrines will not lack
the whiskey for drunk. These stained
glass temples are doing their bit by cut
ting out the free lunch, which. now that
stale bread has been taken from the poor,
encourages the poor to eat their bit mod
estly.
Dallying with the lawmakers the while
one discovers a determination to control
the prices of commodities for the general
public, some of the Presidents advisers
insisting that the American consumers
"need protection as we'll as the govern
ment and the Allies" while protection is
going. The wheat spectators are reported
by Mr.. Hoover to be on the winning side
of the market, while the farmers are los
ing. The public, he says, pays fictitious
price for flour. Germany pays $l.60 for
wheat, Belgium S1.60 and England $1.60.
Wheat for July delivery was quoted at
S2.07 in Chicago last week.
A survey of the crops, however, makes
one feel well fed. The government reports
The wheat crop is not in an average con-
dition, and some of the Southern corn has
been killed out, but the grand total is
encouraging The 100000, 000-bushel
corn crop is almost a record crop. The
cat crop is bumper one, and there will
be "Murphies" in abundance. 1t is large
setting, and the chickens have Matched
well, but they have still to be raised.
We can now visualize the marching off
to war of the first American conscripts,
the National Guard units, who have
lust been ordered into the foreign SER
vice by the President, August having
been fixed as the date of mobilization
Additional rules for the coming draft of
the holders of "red ink numbers" in the
lottery for the blood sacrifice have been
announced by Washington, arranging for
continued suspense, the enrolled citizen
icing ordered to hold himself in readiness
to be drawn at any interval if his luck
is not good in the first drawing. A citi-
not desire to exercise the war privilege is
required to furnish written proof in sup
port of his claim to exemption, though re-
iected citizens are allowed no such oppor-
tunity.
Anti-draft meetings and demonstrations
are recurrent, though not nearly so
threatening as they were in the Civil War
draft days. The l. w. w. manifestations
which one observes in Idaho, Arizona,
California and Washington doubtless fall
under this head though labor differences
and, some aver, German intrigue add to
the unrest. Secretary of War Baker,
being acquainted personally with the So
cial ferment, is wakeful over the possible
danger of a sudden expansion of these
Western rumblings.

ANNUAL BILL FOR
FOOD MUCH LARGER

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The an
nual food bill of the average family
has grown from $339.3O in 1913 to
$425.54 at present, the department of
labor announced today in a review of
1000 prices. In ten years, the depart
mems experts estimate, the advance
in the cost Of food has so far out
stripped wage increases that the work
man who drew SO a day in 1907 now
finds himself just So cents a day worse
off.
The heaviest increase in food prices
during the last four years is shown in
potatoes, the cost of which has risen
from s18.96 to s44.69. Other large
increases are in eggs, from S33.01 to
+43.07; flour, S15.12 to $25.40; butter,
S45.72 to s547S. OF the whole list of
foods only sirloin and round steak are
cheaper than five years ago.
In the period from January Is to
FEBRUARY Is food prices took four
per cent jump. Onions led with a II
per cent increase Potatoes went I'D
80 per cent. Eggs alone decreased in
price
1t is estimated that if a dollars
worth of food bought in 1907 weighed
10 pounds it would weigh a trifle more
than seven pounds today
The review says that in 1916 con-
ditions resulting from the war pushed
up food prices faster than wages
There were some crop shortages also
the report adds, which contributed
their share. Besides this however
there is reason to fear that other ele-
ments are conspiring to raise prices
3 Cold storage, re-billing, re-shippine
anA Withholding of commodities from
market are suspected"

NJ Viviani, Il knew from the first that
1t would be impossible for you to re-
main aloof from the strife in whicn we
were not only defending our soil but
also were liberating the world"
After a eulogy of Americans, thei1
spirits, their ideals, their valor and
their generous feeling toward the
world NJ. Viviani said they were
coming into the struggle to save
Europe and. the world and to join in
a victory for their ideals.
What is this victory?" exclaimed
NJ. Viviani. 1T is the end of autocracy
1t is to be the end of Prussian militar-
ism. Nevermore can that return to
invade, to burn, to kill, to violate. to
assassinate, to ravage and to Cypress

COURT RECOUNT
SEEMS NEARING
CLOSING STAGE

The recount Of the ballots yester-
day yielded a certain gain of votes
for Campbell; 3 votes which were
taken under advisement: 10 votes
in precincts where ballots had been
rejected by the election boards and
which under the rulings already made
should be counted. OF these, votes
would certainly be for Campbell, and
his friends think that more would
be so counted.
In Hayden precinct No. 2. there
was a clear gain Of Z for Campbell
and ! in Upper Aqua Fria, Yavapai
county. One Campbell vote in Miami
No. 3 and in Pirtleville were taken
under Amusement. The precincts in
which claims for Campbell of ballots
which had been rejected by the cleo
ton boards were Alamo in Yuma
county and Walnut Grove in Yava-
pal county
Early in the afternoon Mr.. Curley
of counsel for former Governor Hunt
suggested a stipulation for a dispo-
sition OF the Is remaining ballots to
be recounted, the stipulation being to
allow to Campbell the gains in those
precincts disclosed by the inspec-
ton. There are IS such gains
If this stipulation is entered into,
the recount will be ended, and there
will be left for settlement only the
investigation of Snowflake precinct,
the disposition of the 70 ballots in
precincts where the count exceeded
the number of ballots cast as shown
by the poll lists. and the question OF
the admission of ballots which had
been rejected by election boards
though the ballots themselves are
similar in character to those which
have been ruled admitted.
This question was brought up day
before yesterday in Robinson pre-
ciEct Cochise county, and again yes
terday in Alamo and Walnut Grove
precincts. In the event of favor
able ruling on them. several other
