MUST HAVE FOOD.
But IL wac made plain by high
official OF the commission that the
thought uppermost In the minds
OF the British Representatives 10,
The allies must have food"
~ wish to mako il plain" said
THE spokesman, "that we are not
hsrs to tell you what you must do.
you can best help; but we come equip
ped with facts. to tell you what mis-
takes We made and how you can avoid
them: what price Is paid for what we
have accomplished. SO you may deter
mine whether you think the price is
worth paying to accomplish those
things yourself.
THE allies greatest problems-and
the one which you can best aid our al
lied cause by helping solve-is that of
food-which involves that Of shipping.
ALL ONE GREAT QUESTION.
please remember that there Is no
British food problem. no French food
problem, nor Italian, nor Russian food
problem. 1t is all one great question.
At our allied conference the govern
ments agreed to pool their food sup
plies.
while England is not short Of food
and probably could get along if she
had only herself to consider. all is not
well with France and Italy. Their
food shortage il acute. It is growing
moro So"
This attitude Of the British commits
sion puts the old allies and their new
recruit In complete accord on the first
move In the great international war
TO STIMULATE PRODUCTION.
The trend Of all this governments
actions ever since and in fact weeks be- |
fore war was declared. has been to |
stimulate the production of food for
our people at home, and then for our
allies in fighting Europe.
The British commission Is not I'M |
concerned over the sending
Of troops. It was explained. Their man
power is sufficient for the moment;
and the sending Of great masses Of men
to Europe now would make the food
problem critical and out of all propor- |
ton to the fighting strength gained.
NO DEFINITE STEPS TAKEN.
No actual. definite steps will be |
taken, however. on either the food or

arrives, 1t was announced.

WAR MEASURE NOW
BEFORE BOTH HOUSES
Final Action Expected on
the Conscription Bill Be-
fore the Week Ends
Harding Champions the
Volunteer Amendment.

Washington, April 23.-
After finally disposing of
the great war loan, house
and. senate shortly after
noon today went into the
final stages Of the problem
of raising an army of g.
100000 men for defense of
the nation.
1t was the first day of de-
bate in the house and the
second day for the senate.
1t was still believed today
that both houses will take
final action Thursday or
Friday at the latest.
CONSUMPTION TO PASS.
The conscription feature, in some
form at least, will pass both houses
While house and senate debated, the
Roosevelt angle--the coenePs plan to
head q volunteer division to the French
trenches-was vigorously injected into
the situation.
Senator Harding of Ohio started the
Roosevelt fight by introducing the
amendment to the administration bill
authorizing the president to raise by
voluntary enlistment four infantry di-
visions-about 100000 men. The
amendment does not name Roosevelt,
but means him.
EXTENSION or DRAFT.
An extension of the draft to male cit
izens not eligible to military conscrip-
ton, to form a service army for food
production, was demanded by Repre-
tentative Emerson, Ohio, in resolu-
tion.
Compulsory military service, in de-
r,ocracy, declared Weeks of Massachu-
sets, inJ opening senate debate, is no
more repellant nor undemocratic than
governmental regulation of wages.
compulsory education and compulsory
insurance for employees.
'The question we must now consider
Is how we are going to give the presi-
dent what we have directed him to en-
ploy-an army" said Weeks.
Are we going to do it in a manner
demonstrated over and over again as
ill-advised, ineffective and disastrous,
or are we to tlrn our attention to the
experience of other countries and take
from the experience those lessons
which will enable to steer clear of the
fcllies of the past?
THAT is really the dividing line be-
tween efficiency and ineffeiency.

Observance

THERE Is very little Of the right
motive in commemorating the
birth of Jesus the Savior. The
spirit of the modern Christmas is to
have good old time, feasting and
business activity, with the Holy Child
Jesus a igurehead.
Such Is a very great offense to AL.
mighty God. An offering to God in
the spirit of righteousness, by humility,
worship, modification, In self denial
and good works, should be the first
duty in celebrating Christmas.
Really number of hours similar to
Lent ought to be considered, after
which would come the feast and re-
joicing.
Respectful thankfulness to the Lord
God of Hosts for his love and pity for
sinful race in his priceless gift of a
Sa' ior-such would be fitting grace
before partaking Of the good things
and many blessings that he has been
pleased to bestow on all people. What
would a person think in giving a re-
ception and supper to have the guests
hasten to the dining hall and devour
the food without giving the honor and
respect due to the host first? Almighty
God Is treated in similar manner in
celebrating the modern Christmas

Cbe Season
Of Peace

TIVE whole air at the first Christ
mastide was tremulous with joy-
1t was time for holy song, for
inspired paean, for seraphic song. Let
10y come still to our homes and hearts.
Christ gives brightness and beauty,
gladness and glory, to the whole circle
of life and duty. Come, Lord Jesus :!
There shall be room for three in our
homes. Once there was none In the
inn, but only in the stable. Now our
best is thine. Only honor us with thy
beneficent presence.
Let us away with strife at this sea-
son. Now Is the time to speak kindly
words. Let us not carry into the new
year the enmities of the old. Let not
the harsh notes Of contention come
into the heavenly song Of peace.
Christ came to give peace, and from
heavens throne today he bends to give
peace to all who trust him. He was
the only person ever born into the
world who had his choice as to how he
should come. He might have come
man, as did the first Adam. He came
a babe. He inserted himself into our
race at its lowest and weakest point.
If he were to lift the race he must
get under it. He glorified the cradle;
he glorified boyhood; he sanctitied
motherhood.
But Christ must be born in each
heart in order that we may have true
Christmas. Are we rejoicing In the
gifts of human love? Shall we be
mindful of him who Is the "unspenk-
able gift?"-Rev. DR.. Robert s. Mac
Arthur in Homiletic Review.
