The first famous Hohenzollern,
Frederick of Nuremberg, years before
had been given charge of the north
eastern province of Brandenburg.
This was in 1411, and his successors,
whose capital was Berlin, had con-
Quered Prussia, their neighbor to the
east. This whole territory, combined
under the Hohenzollerns, finally be-
came known as Prussia, and devel-
oped a fierce, independent national
spirit. IL became one OF the largest
and most powerful Of the States Of
Germany.
Austria. with the Hapsburgs at its
head, for whole century following
164S devoted its attention chiefly to
the Turks and to ambitious schemes
in Italy leaving Germany in disorder
and at the mercy OF foreign aggres-
sion
Although the Austrian Hapsburgs
were nominally rulers of the whole
empire, which included the multitud-
nous German states, Austria seemed
actually to side with France, against
these very German States.
Fearing that the growing size and
power of Prussia would imperial Aus

Frustrated Food Control

One point made by Mr. George w. Per-
kins in his denunciation of Senator
Browns conduct regarding food control
measures in this state cannot be gainsaid
That is that, with his antagonism to Gov
ernor Whitmans proposals and his oppo-
sition to the confirmation of Mr.. Perkins
as head of the Food Control Commission,
the net result has been to prevent any
kind Of food control up to date. With a
law for that purpose on the statute books,
put there in Difference to an overwhelming
popular sentiment, Senator Brown by his
maneuvres has nevertheless managed to
defy public demands and Illustrate this i'm
portant war policy by holding up the or
ganzation of the body which would admin
lister the law.
Mr.. Perkins's personality is not the i'm
portant element in this situation. Governor
Whitman selected him as the best man in
the state for the task and The Tribune
has no quarrel with that choice. What is
important is that n bipartisan group of
Senators, representing Tammany Hall and
the reactionary clement Of Republicanism,

Skyward Flies the Oyster
CFrom The Cincinratt Enquirer

in the happy past there was country
wide rejoicing upon the advent of the
months whose names contained the letter
"R," because they brought with them the
succulent and satisfying oyster. As each
August ambled on toward its end each Gour-
met constructed gustatory visions Of the
biyalve in various kitchenings, awaiting snX-
iously September's coming. Alas! the annual
temperance set for 1917 A. D. brings mixed
feelings, where once only pure JOY accom-
panied each shell. Inland dealers have been
informed by seaside producers that because
of increases in the cost of labor and ma
terials"-familiar words! oyster prices will
undergo an upward revision. Initialy it is
fixed at % per cent, and the warning is
held out that this may be added to as win
ter approaches. Passed onward TO Se un-
happy wight who buys by the half dozen on
the she'll and by the pint in bulk, this means
an ultimate increase OF 80 per cent at least.

The Barnard Lincoln

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your "Barnard's Lincoln: Is Il I'm
true" as shown and stated in this morn
ings Tribune, is timely, and It is to be
hoped may do its part in stopping or pre-
venting what would be a lasting mistake
Barnard is great sculptor, but his Lincoln
is most unfortunate, and were it erected
in London would fill the people of this coun-
try with regret rather than pride.
The immortal Lincoln was neither sprung
at the knees nor had he abdominal trouble
both of which are portrayed in this statue
We do not like to think of Lincoln as fading
away. The man Lincoln, by Barnard, is I'M
comfortable, i'll in body and i'll at ease.
Houdon gave us the Washington we all
know and think of, and he who tries to i'm
provise and make another 10 his own liking
makes failure; we don't want another
Washington other than Houdon's.
Ward felt this when he did his masterful
figure Of Washington which stands IN front
of the Sub-Treasury, giving dignity OF re-
pose to the Street"
Saint-Gaudens gave US a Lincoln in his
splendid way that fills the heart and soul
Of one with admiration and pride. The rail
splitter" looks as if he could split rails; his
body is strong, his face fine and true, and
every inch of him a man.
Don't try to do other Lincolns when we
nave Saint-Gaudens's masterpiece to repea.
as often as a statue of the beloved Presi-
dent is called for. Let this be the one for
London. PERCY GRIFFIN

Sir: Swedish junkerdom is still under the
smell Of Prussian junkerdom, even to the eX-
tom. Of debasiuG the mother country, endan-
,erino her neutrality and exposing her pop

arrogance ana diplomatic blunders have cost

Singing the West

~ rom The Portland Or6gonldhi
Reduced to simple language, the excess
profits tax proposed in a bill pending in
Congress is this: Excess profits will be de-
termined by comparing profits obtained by
an industry since the war began with its
profits during the three years preceding the
war. The difference between the normal
profits as evidenced by the latter computa-
ton and the war profits as evidenced by
the former will be heavily taxed.
In Portland it is assumed that "pre-wsr.'
as used in the bill in reference to the three
years which give the basis for normal
profits, means prior to the entry of the
United States into the war-not the period
prior to August, 1914. If this is the correct
assumption, Oregon industries are justified
in being alarmed over the discrimination
against them.
The three years preceding 1917 were not
normal years in Oregon industry. They
were sub-normal. On the other hand, they
were far above normal profit years among
the munitions plants in the East The basis
for determining the munitions makers war
profits would be a vast business growing
out Of war in which we then had no part,
and whose gain since our participation in
the war may have increased, but not in
great proportion to the business Of the pre-
war" period.

Kornilof

Every one remembers Carlyle's descrip-
ton of how the ultimate chaos of the
French Revolution dissolved before the
whit of grape shot 1t is impossible not
to suspect that Korniloff's present gesture
points the way to this termination of the
Russian chaos. Kerensky may survive the
present crisis, but can he endure another
military disaster like Riga?
1t is plain that the men who dominated
the revolution in its first stage, the men
like Lvofr, Miliukoff and Rodzianko, the
men of the Duma for whom the revolution
was to be national before it was social and
TO save Russia from the enemy without
before they rebuilt it from within, have
resolved to risk everything, fresh anarchy,
even possible return of the Romanofts,
rather than to submit longer TO the rapid
descent of Russian arms into ruin and the
Russian state into chaos.
Kerensky, having to choose between be-
coming the servant of this nationalist and
moderate group and remaining the child
of the revolution, as it has subsequently
developed, seems to have elected to remain
faithful to the revolution. So much would
seem to be clear.
But no man can mistake the steady
march of the Russian state toward ruin
and through ruin toward reaction. If the
moderates have now failed, the chance that
some other Korniloff will play Napoleonic
role must be increased.
Russia has so far developed no Carnot
to organize her millions, no Committee OF
Public Safety to save the nation from for
eign invasion by another Terror. Inert.
HELPLESS, delivered over 20 splendid and
absurd visions, to romantic and impossible
doctrines, her soil in enemy's hands and
her armies disintegrating, Russia is to-
day the greatest tragedy in modern his
tory. The saddest part of the tragedy lies
in the fact that there will be charged
against democracy this colossal failure,
which few months ago raised the hopes
of all liberal mankind.

British Women in the Army

The use of women in the British army
both in France and at home to release men
for the trenches is growing steadily. The
exact numbers have not been published,
but arrangements have now been made
for over four thousand women in France;
over six thousand cooks and mattresses
have been provided for two hundred camps
at home, for one item, and about four
hundred women have replaced men as
motor transport drivers in the Army Ser
vice Corps and the Royal Flying Corps,
for another,
"The London Morning POST gives some
interesting figures of economies resulting
from the introduction of women as army
cooks. Chiefly they have been assigned to
officers and sergeants messes and hos
pitfalls. At one mess the daily charge to
officers was reduced in a few weeks from
Is. cd. to Is. Sd. head, and in addition
500 was saved for the benefit Of the mess
generally. The charge at the same mess
has now been cut to Cd. a day. The Army
Council recognized the good work by an in
crease in wages. "Instructresses in cook
cry" have also been furnished to army
cooking schools
At the bases in France and on the lines
of communication women are employed in
the following posts: Clerks, typists, cooks
and domestic servants, motor drivers,
storekeepers, tailors, bakers shoemakers,
messengers, telephone and postal service.
The enlistment is for the duration of the
war. A uniform has been adopted for all
women serving in this womens Army
Auxiliary Corps, as it is officially known.
It's women are placed directly under the
control of the commanding officer of the
formation or the officer in charge of the
Office to which they are assigned for duty.
