RAISE MORE HOGS
 FOR MEAT SUPPLY

The United States Depart ment of Agriculture says that more meat is needed and need ed quickly. The way to in- crease the meat supply of the country is to raise more hogs. The way to raise more hogs quickly is to breed more sows than usual and do it at once.
 An increase of 15 per cent in the number of hogs in the country is asked for.
 Hogs are profitable now. It would seem good business pol icy as well as patriotism to raise more of them.

 Next, he would organize a statistical department to find Iout exactly what the resources and supplies of the empire are, and where all the food and other cofmodities are stored. The two measures would SUD- plement each other.
 The third measure is a sys- tenn of economic mobilization. Every man in the country not liable to military service would be enrolled and assigned to some specific place, and on the outbreak of the war would go at once to work, just as the man in the military service goes to his regimental headquart- CTS.
 The plan is not merely inter esting as revealing the strength of the German delusion that Germany is yet to conquer the world it has a lesson for us so plain that it hardly needs to be pointed out. If Germany cannot win this war, and yet is to get out of it with hands still free, 1t will be more militarist and more militant than ever. It's next war would be abso- lutely certain to include the United States.

Outside Germany the whole world if asked about the next war, would answer as the

 Among other outgivings on the subject there is none more significant or Illuminating than an article that Herr Walter Ra- thenau, a directr in the Imperi- al Department for raw materi- als, published in Berlin per iodical a short time ago. In that article Herr Rathenau ur- ges with great earnestness that Germany must never again be insuffieiently prepared for war. That is of course an admission that it was not sufficiently pre- pared in 1914. It was fully prepared for the short war on which it counted but not this long drawn out contest. Herr Rathenau would not have this mistake made again.
 His program is interesting. It has three parts and if carried out would be so thorough that it would make the task of de- feating Germany even harder than the world is now finding it.
 In the first place he would accumulate and store vast quantities of everything that

VICTORY FOR WOMEN
Get Committee on Woman Suffrage in
the House.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 25.-Creation
of committee on woman suffrage was
ordered by the House late yesterday by
a vote Of ISL TO l07.
| The ways and means committee will
name the personnel of the new commit.
tee, which will assume charge OF all suf-
frage bills, now handled by the strongly
anti suffrage judiciary committee. Eth
er Representative Raker of California, or
Representative Taylor of Colorado, prob.
ably will be made chairman. Miss Ran
kin of Montana has been suggested, but
as she is Republican, she is not likely
TO be named.
Creation of the committee for which
suffragsts long have contended assures
an early fight on the Susan B. Anthony
suffrage amendment at the next session
of Congress. Both suffragists and anti
sutfragists say they are anxious that the
bill be reported, as they are confident of
victory on the floor.
The antis, headed by Chairman Webb
of the Judiciary committee. made a hard
fight yesterday against the resolution.
They maintained that its adoption would
be taken as an Endorsement of White
House picketing, and that 1t was unnec.
essary inasmuch as the judiciary com
mittee planned to report the amendment
resolution early In the next session.
Miss Rankin and Representative Pou,
chairman of the rules committee, who
reported the resolution, made the prin-
cipal speeches for it. Mr.. Pou declared
that President Wilson had written him
urging the naming of the committee, and
when Mr. Webb said he did not think the
president ever had made such state
ment, Mr.. Pou produced the letter. It
was not read.
The Senate suffrage committee, which
is inactive, has been organized several
years.
