For Want of Food

London, March pa gloomy picture
Of the food situation in Bavaria was
drawn by Minister OF the Interior
Brettrech in an address before the
Landtag on Tuesday, according TO Z
Berne disratch TO Reuters. Minister
Brettrech is quoted as saying that the
recent stock-taking showed conditions

deficiency OF 10000 tons in Bavarian
breadstufFs. Conditions outside Ba-
varia. ne said, we're even more IN
favorable.
The Minister admitted that during
the war friction had arisen between
north and south Germany, chiefly due
TO the administration OF the war After
predicting that the coming weeks would
would be very hard on the people, he
concluded:
But we must hold out. II we lie
down England will squeeze the blood
out OF our fngernails. Even If the
war ended tomorrow the bitter weeks
are not over"

Chamberlain Submits Plan
for Training 100000
Youths a Year
Would Give Army
For Emergency Now
Senator Expects Congress
to Provide Equipment
for 1000, 900 Men

Washington. March 29-An attempt
70 swing President Wilson to universal
military training was made to-day by
Senator Chamberlain. chairman Of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee.
Senator Chamberlain was not elated
over his reception by the President.
The Senator sought the interview, so 1t
could not be taken as showing any
particular interest on the part of the
Chief Executive in fhe plan. The Presi-
dent would not permit Senator Cham
berlain to quote what he said. That
he was more hopeful" was as far as
the Senator would go.
Mr.. Chamberlain showed to the Presi-
dent that 100000 young men could be
trained annually at a cost of about
Si56. 900 900. which included everything
except rifles and other equipment. The
supplies not included by Senator Cham
berlain in his estimate of cost would be
purchased whether there was universal
trfining or not, if a supply for an ade-
qratC army we're kept on hand.
The principal saving under MI
Chamberlain's plan. as against the
General Staff plan, is that 1t provides
for training young men only SIX
months instead of a full year. Besides
reducing by one-half the amount OF
rations and other supplies which
would be actually consumed, his plan
would eliminate permanent quarters,
the expense of which in the General
staff estimate is very high.
Objections to STATS Plan
Mr.. Chamberlain emphasized that he
did not oppose the General staff plan
because OF any inherent faults, but be-
cause he did not think il possible to
get a bill providing for one years COM
pulsory military training through Con
gress, and because OF the much greater
After he left the White House
Senator Chamberlain said he probably
would amend his bill 70 make II meet
the present emergency and provide an
army in as short a time as possible
for any situation which might arise IN
the present issue with Germany.
These changes would include increas-
ing of the age for beginning of tram
ing from nineteen to twenty, so that
the first "class" put through the course
would be the logical army TO use
against Germany.
The number Of men in this class
would greatly exceed 100000 for the
first year. if Mr.. Chsmberlain's idea
were carried out. He would have thir-
tv-six manpuvre camps, in thirty-slx
districts. into which the country would
be divided In each Of these camps
would be one division. or about $1,000
men, giving a total Of $4,000 men.
Presidents Power Discussed
Mr.. Chamberlain discussed with the
President the power of the Executive
to raise an army.
AS TO the measures necessary for IN
creasing the army in emergency, SEN
ator Chamberlain said that under exist
ing law the President is authorized to
increase the standing army 20 its war

The great power Of this country can
best be exercised by using our indus
trial skill in organization, and IN
doubtedly for six months 70 a year, at
least. the only men We could send 20

opinion. this government should do It's

know of no better way while we are
preparing an army than TO assume the
burden. which we should esteem prlvl-
lege. of furnishing, say 100000 OF the
soldiers of France with all their food,
equipment. munitions and necessaries.
until we are able, through our own
army and navy. TO exert at least the
power of a million men for the cause
which will have become a common one.
There should be no hesitation on the
part of France or the Allies combined
in accepting such an offer. and with the
understanding that this condition
should continue until we could exert
our own forces as a portion OF the
allied strength, and there should be no
hesitation on our part IN doing at least
this much.
Terms of Participation
As TO the terms of our participation
in this European struggle. they would
not be difficult of understanding or
hard TO reach. Washington said VIC
could reply upon temporary alliances
to provido for extraordinary emergen-
cies and any alliances between TINS
country and European nations could, OF
course, be only temporary.
On European countries, doubtless
would be the burden of settling the
terms of peace. so far as European
countries. their national boundaries
and forms Of government are con-
cerned. 1t would be sufficient for US to
know that no military autocracy would
be permitted 10 retain. at the end OF
the war, navy which would threaten
us or a feet b. which armies could be
sent 10 invade us; and the common IN
terest of countries throughout the
world, and especially Of those with
whom we must join IN this war, makes
this a reasonably united desire.
If the war ends and Europe settles
her own boundaries and the forms OF
government which shall exist there and
We on this side Of the Atlantic are al
lowed TO resume without possibility Of
European aggression our ordinary
peaceable lives. we will not have be-
come embroiled IN the quarrcls Of
Europe, nor viii any European nation
be given an excuse for interfering
with the republic Of this hemisphere.

This country should declare that the
treaties existing between the United
States and Germany have been abro-
gated by the repeated gross violations
of these treaties, as evidenced by the
sinking Of American ships and the
taking of American lives, as well as by
the refusal TO permit the commerce OF
this country safely to use the high seas
in the express way provided in the
treaties of 1885 and 1859 and reaffirmed
by the treaty cf 1923, and all of which
have been recognized by both coun-
tries. and notably by our own Supreme
Court. as existent and in force.
Assuming that Congress shall declare
a state Of war existing or should make
a declaration of war, there should be no
hesitation or delay of any kind in doing
whatever we can to bring to an end the
war upon which we would then enter.
The downfall Of the House of Romanof
in Russia removes the last anomaly in
this world war, which now goes on
practically between military autocracy
on the one hand and republics and dem
ocratic monarchies on the other.
War Upon Divine Right
The people of Russia, as a people
now are joined to the democratic mon
srchy Of Italy, with the democracy of
Great Britain ana the republic of
France in the endeavor to put an end
to monarchs who claim the divine right
of kings to rule over people.
The overthrow of the Russian mon
archy is, in some measure possibly IN
full measure-as look at It, recon-
pense for the horrible suffering caused
BY the European war Millions Of men
have given I'D their lives and tens OF
millions have suffered. But the future
lives of hundreds of millions IN Russia
and throughout the world will proba-
blv be better and brighter; and had
it not been for this terrible war pos
siblv generations would have passed
before the people of Russia came TO
their own.
If we enter upon this war, II goes
without saying that we must assist
those who are upon the same side with
US in every possible way. The credit
of our government will undoubtedly be
loaned to the Allies 20 any extent
needed. For every soldier they have
at the front is doing some OF the WORK,
and every gun they use and every smell
