German Bread
Ration is Cut;
Meat Increased

COPENHAGEN (via London),
March 24.-An announcement Of re-
auctions in the bread ration in Ger
ration, as received here. is indica-
tive of Germany's present food diff
ficulties. 10 which the Prussian
food commissioner. DIR. George
Michaelis. referred in a recent
speech in the Prussian diet
The grain stocks which. even with
the supplies received from Rouma-
MIA, were barely sufficient to carry
through the population until the
harvest at the old ration had 20 be
drawn upon TO compensate for the
potato crisis in the winter. when
for weeks the supplies TO the cities
were interrupted owing TO the in
tensely cold weather.
The restoration of the potato ra-
ton TO five pounds is really a reduc-
ton, when it is considered that the
original ration in the autumn was
seven pounds. Then for weeks the
actual ration Of three pounds was
unobtainable by large part of the
population: Hamburg, for instance,
serving it. only at occasional inter-
walls.
The meat ration on the other
hand. can be increased owing to the
comparatively large stocks of cat
tie that have accumulated and
which must be slaughtered owing
TO the shortage in fodder"

PLEADED GUILTY;

Tony KOhIer Tells Court That
He Wanted to Shield
Woman Relative.

Giving as his reason for pleading
guilty. the fact that ne wished 10
shield Mrs Steve Payer. 2O17 :.
Chaptu ST.. "A relative. Tony Kohler
charged with petit larceny, appeared
in city court Saturday morning and
asked that his plea be changed back
again 10 not guilty Though the
court seemed. to be OF the opinion
that a suspended sentence would
serve as ample punishment. Kohler
through his attorney insisted that a
trial be held and that the plea be
changed SO the court set the trial
for Friday.
When first arraigned Kohler en-
tered a plea of not guilty of the
charge which was made by Arthur
Bickelhaupt, a grocer, who claimed
that the defendant stole Sass,
which is within the bounds Of petit
larceny. Thursday Kohler appeared
in court and in the presence OF the
witnesses in the case told the court
that he had defrauded his employer
TO the extent of S2S in collections
which he had never turned over.
He said further in giving an ex-
cuse for his conduct that there had
been sickness in his family of wife
and two children and that he took
the money To buy them food and
medicine. Taking cognaisance of
the fact that his family require his
support the court was prepared to
show the defendant leniency.
Though il is possible that other
charges will be filed raising the
crime charged TO one of grand lar
ceny. still the bond of $50 was not
increased as requested by the pros
pcution

The administration at Wash
ington holds to the theory that a
state of war is existing between
this country and Germany, Ill
view of the recent torpedoing of
three American vessels. 1t is
possible that President Wilson
will advance the date for the
meeting of Congress from April
16 to an earlier date in view of
the complications arising. The
American people are not anxious
for war, but they are not afraid
to fight if they are forced to it,
and when peace comes the 'Stars

over this land, and our great re-
publican form of government will
still be the standard of that high

The city Of Los Angeles is en-
joying it's biennial pastime of
fighting the bill board nuisance.
The daily press are printing COL
umns of editorials in protest, the
woman's clubs are busy, and the
city beautiful enthusiasts are
working overtime. One little
paragraph in a long editorial in
one of the papers solves the
whole trouble, as follows:
On one side stand over half a
million people-on the other a
very small body of men solely in
terested in their pocket books.
And there is the answer to the
question why the billboards?"
1t is the answer to every civic or
state question where the people
are on one side, and a few men
financially interested are on the
other. The people do not think
it is necessary to Doodle their
councilmen or representatives to
get the legislation they need, so
the few men financially interest
ed have no competition in buying
up the representatives to ignore
the will of the people.
Then there is another side to
the matter. The special privilege
fellows come across with a Doodle
fund every so often to the faith
full, but after a time they get
economical and decide the issue
in which they are interested is
dead. and the regular supply of
kale if cut off. About six months
of this closed season for Doodle
gets the boys uneasy, and i'm
mediately they get some of their
friends busy for the spasmodic
crusade of reform, which i'm
mediately awakens the men fin
ancially interested that they have
a duty to perform that has been
neglected, and in a few weeks
the reform crusade is laid away
to sleep, to be ressurected again
when the regular contributions
stop flowing into the pockets of
the representatives of the "dear
people. - There will be bill
boards in Los Angeles next year.

If the European war accom-
plishes nothing else the fact that
it will be the cause of eventually
making a republic of Russia, and
removing for all time the iron
heel of the Gar, will stand
everlastingly to it's credit. For
three centuries it has been the
most despotically ruled country
in the world, and it's people were
but little better than slaves Steep
ed in barbarism. More revolving
crimes have been committed in
that country under the sanction
of it's rulers than have ever
been perpetrated even in the
barbarous Ottoman empire, and
any active movement by the peo-
pie for improvement in existing
conditions consigned the leaders
to death or Punishment to Siberia.
The duma, created to give the
appearance that the people had a
hand in the government, but
which in fact was under the do
mination of the Gar and could
be disbanded whenever they re-
fused his bidding, was the
means of developing some power
full leaders in political affairs, and
it was these leaders who have
deposed Gar Nicholas in an al
most bloodless revolution, and
have called the Grand Duke Mi
chael to the throne temporarily
until the people can choose a
ruler by popular vote. The new
Russia will emerge from the
upheaval as a republic, and its
people will be granted the liber-
ties so long denied them.

Kingly crowns are evidently
going out Of style, and by the
time peace is declared in Europe
very few will be left. The
American plan where every man
is a king, and the ruler is the
hired man, is appealing strong
ly to other nations as the true
from of government, and the old
theory of the divine right Of
kings is going into the discard.
1t will cost an appalling sum in
blood and treasure, but future
generations will reap the bene-
fits of the sacrifices made.
