PROMINENT GOVERN
MENT EMPLOYEE

Frank A. Vanderlip is president Of
the National City Bank of New
York, called the greatest bank in
America. But he is working for the
government at a dollar a year and
paying his WI expenses. AS a gov
eminent employee Mr.. Vanderlip has
made some remarks about Business
as usual" and pleasure as usual"
We can't have either he says, il we
are going to win the war.
EITHER we stand by our luxuries
or we stand by Government" he
says.
He calls attention to the fact that
the United States has engaged to
expend $40, 900, 600, 900 this year
which is only $1,000, 600, 900 less
than the government has expended
I'm the entire previous 1875 years of
its existence, and pronounces it i'm
possible for the country to produce
$4,000 900 900 worth of war sup
plies and at the same time turn out
all the other articles consumed in
peace times.
Nothing is-surer than that Amer
lea must be completely organized for
war" Mr.. Vanderlip says but we
have not done it yet"
There is only so much man ROVER
in the country man power that
has been depleted by the draft.
THE people who insist on 'Busi-
ness as usual and pleasure as usual
are demanding from this depleted
man power the same production of
goods that an undepleted man power
was kept busy producing in normal
times.
Now comes the government with
a demand upon this over worked de-
pleted man power for the production
in one year of $4,000 00, 900 Of
additional goods.
1.-THE conclusion is obvious. The
man power of the nation is totally
unable to meet the double demand;
some one must be left unsatisfied.
The question that we Americans
eminent to get what it needs for war
or is the individual to get what he
got in normal times?
Congress can appropriate money
but that does not fight the war. The
treasury department a float bof.Is
and neither does that fight the war.
Appropriations and bonds are worth
less unless they can buy and deliver
munitions to the fighting forces. II
Is simply a matter Of what can be
delivered on the battlefield"

THE VOYAGE OF THE 1esTH


oh listen, good people, and you shall
hear
OF a ride that outshone Paul Revere;
Twas in October, Nineteen seventeen
That we left Camp Mills, all nice
and clean;
We well remember the very date
OF the em~barking of the One-Six-
Eight.
On a Long Island train we started
out
For "over there" without a doubt;
Brooklyn ended our choo-choo ride,
And we crossed on a ferry to the
other side.
We marched to pier six,-all elate
And up the gang plank filed One
Six-Eight.
On the deck we stood for a farewell
At the Statue Of Liberty and Sandy
Hook;
All night the transport did rock and
sway,
All night we were sea-sick, yes, all
day;
The dough boys food was turned to
And the fishes were fed by One-Six-
Eight.
Our "Wild Rose" Regiment going
forth to battle
Was driven around like a herd of cat
tie;
"Get off those RATS" "Stay out of
that" Can
Hot stuff" and "Gangway for a de-
tail man."
"The magazine is open, quit smoking
mate"
All rang in the ears of he One-Six
Eight.
On the fourth day out we all felt
fine
For the fish feeding sickness was left
behind
We sang our songs and began to
talk
OF how we had mastered the "sea
gob's walk;
The transport was hitting a 12-knot
gait,
And high were the spirits of the
One-Six-Eight.
But that evening our joys received
a crack,
When a COB shouted, Boys. we are
going back"
Two boilers are busted, their fires
are knocked,
And the President Grant must re
turn to the dock;
! Che cap'f broya the NOV 1ana In c,ch
a state,
1t would be death to the boys of the
One-Six-Eight.
Next morning the sun came up DER
the. stern
The propeller was working as slow
as a churn;
Well to make a long story short,
Twas the ninth day when we reached
the home port;
And on Governors Island we now
await
New orders concerning the One-Six
Eight.
Though the ocean trip was no ocean
of joys
We longed to be there" with the
Rainbow" boys;
Since we left old Iowa we have sol.
diered right
And for or flag we are ready to fight
Just send us across, even though ii
be late
And the kaiser will hear from the
One-Six-Eight.

cussing this suspicion maintains that neutrality will be fully lived up to and that whatever doubt exists is fostered by the press of this country. and at the same time it takes occasion to complain about the strict enforcement of the embargo on arms.
 If that is true there is of course nothing to fear from Mexico. ft can be expected to follow the middle of the road. showing respect for both and partiality to neither. but it must be realized by Mexico that if there is suspicion as to what 1t will do no one is to blame for it but itself.
 Mexico laid itself open to the propo- sition. which was advanced from Ber- lin, promising it important territory of this country if it would take sides with Germany. by the manner in which Carranza refused to adjust the
 differences with this country, and thus far he has done or said nothing which would give the impression in this country that he might not now accept the terms contained therein. The at- which prevails in this country is only what Mexico should fully understand as the result of the course which Car ranza has pursued.
 The question of the embargo hinges upon the same lack of confidence. It cannot be expected that the United States is going to permit the free dis tributioa of arms and ammunition in the Mexican republic as long as there is any possibility of having them turn ed against us. Mexico's intention to be neutral can best be determined by what it actually does.

CONGRESSIONAL DESTRUCTION.

In the conduct of the war by the nations which have been engaged in it for the past three years, the inn portance of bringing to the front ex- perts and listening to and acting up- on their advice has been demonstrated. Yet when this country faces the i'm portant problem of raising an army the dilly dallying which has taken place in congress shows a disposition on the part of large number to cast aside the advice of the experts and to set up their own ideas in their stead regardless of the fact that what they are contending for has been tried, not only by European nations, but by this country, and been shown to be fail ure. With such examples as a guide it is time that congress got down to brass taczs and removed the Obsta- cles which stand in the way of pro- viding and maintaining an army which tan render efficient service.
 From the attitude that Is maintain ed by some members of congress in their insistence upon a volunteer army rather than one which is assembled by selective cOnscription, the impression Is given that they do not realize that we are actually in the war and that the quicker we move in accordance with the advice of those who are thoroughly acquainted with all phases of the problem the better it will be for the safety of the nation and the establishment of an efficient army We cannot afford to ignore the blum ders which have been made by other countries. We cannot afford to fol- low in their footsteps but we should profit by what has proven to be a failure over there and plan in accord ance herewith. But for the fact that Germany can attempt no offensive ex- cept with submarines, the handicaps and delays which are being eXperi- enced would place this country in a deplorable situation. It is proper that congress should know what is con- templated but 1t ought not to obstruct the mobilization of the nations re- sources in the most effective manner

STORIES OF THE WAR
Lorraine Doesn't Want to Be German

Lorraine Doesn't Want to Be German.
 T lived through forty-three years of unfaltering and uninterrupted pro- test against German dominant tion in Lorraine, and can tell you that Lor- raine does not want to be German said Canon Collin of Metz. to The As sociated Press.
 Canon Collin was one of the most notable residents of the annexed prov ince of Lorraine; his name was third on the German imperial list of sus- poets to be shot when war broke out. The French counter espionage inform ed him of the fact and he escaped in to Luxembourg before the war began.
 They did me too much honor in placing me so high on the list" the Canon added. for my sentiments were no more anti-0erman than those of the whole people of Lorraine
 The policy of the population of both provinces for forty-three years may be summed up in the word protest in three degrees: first. official protest against German occupation an din fla vor of remaining French; second, the protest against the interference of mand for the autonomy of Alsace and Lorraine: although there were differ ent degrees and different stages there was never any cessation or diEninution
 
 After fifteen years of this official protestation began the reigme of dic- tatorship and passports, with the ob- ject of annihilating that resistance, but 1t was continued through the press and at the polls at every election Protest survived the dictatorship, after which it continued in the form of what might be called 'particularism' or the idea of Lorraine for the native of Lorraine.
 "The Germans had so little confi- ir, Ixn lat s<v, posed their own officials upon us. German-born people ffocked into Lor- raine and Alsace until they numbered nearly 100000 in both provinces. Ii was then we demanded that the Ger mans get out and leave the place to the natives of Alsac and Lorraine.
 Our first hope. in spite of all, was to return to France. though at times we had the painful sentiment that France was forgetting us. We organ ized the Souvenir Francais' through out Lorraine and it did wonders to re- vive French sentiment and reawaEen French patriotism in Lorraine. The Germans broke up the Souvenir Fran cais, then we organized the Souvenir Lorraine which was the same thing under a new name.
 "A third of the population of Lor- raire knows not a word of German. About 106.o60 know both French and German impefeetfy while on the Ger man frontier German patois is spoken.
 "Ths Alsatfans have been well called The GasconS of the North because of their ready wit The people of LOT faine are colder and more reserved perhaps more patient and persistent.
 The Alsatians as soon as they re- covered from the first stupor of the German invasion poked fun at the immigrants. The people of Lorraine drew themselves up in naughty dis dain. They opposed the force of iner- tia-passfSe resistance to the aSgres- sious of the invader and the German Tn Lorraine has never ceased to be regarded as an invader.

What War Is Doing For Spain.

One of the unexpected results of the war for Spain is to fill the country
 with music, from the bands and CT chestras of Hungarian gypsies driven out of France and taking refuge ir Madrid. These bands are among the most famous in Europe They are us- .Ially located at Paris, Monte Carlo. Nice and other centers of gay lie But when the war began these players being enemy Hungarfans, had to get out of France or be interned as en- emy prisoners. Going back to Hun gary meant shouldering a rife and laying down the violin, which is not to the taste of these gypsies- And so they all migrated westward into Spain, add ing to the musicians already there and literally filling the country with music.
 The gypsies Of the east fit in well with those of Spain, who are still at Madrid, as relic of the days of the Moors. One of the features of all the grand entertainments now is to have one of the Hungarian gypsy bands. an Austrian Polish singer, and a Spanish gypsy dancer. usually the fiery queen Of the Spanish gypsies, Pastor Im- perio. who married the great Spanish bull fighter, Guyio-a queer combina-

HAVE YOU STARTED YOUR GAR
 DEN?

Even though congress is wasting valuable time by backing and filling in regard to the manner in which an army shall be raised. there cannot be any two minds about the importance of narshaling the forces of the coun- try for the purpose of insuring a proper food supply
 Estimates show that the United States has no reason to anticipate bumper crops unless there is the ef- fort put forth to get them, for all the indications are to the contrary. There is shortage promised in winter wheat from the conditions that are prevail ing, which with the demand that is placed upon this country by the war has driven the price of that commod- ity far beyond anything in over a half century. In addition to this it can be anticipated that greater depend ence than ever will be placed upon this country because the shortage which exists here isr being experienced in the wheat producing sections of Europe and South America. The food situation is making itself felt in all the countries whether they happen to be belligerents or neutralS.
 There has been a steady jump in all kinds of supplies and from the fre- quent advances there is no telling where prices will go to, and the prob lem of the United States is to see tf1a: not only is it's own population taken care of jn the way of food but to do it's utmost towards supplying the needs of the others which are depend ing upon this country's vast resources. This means that the United. States must put forth every possible energy for the production of food supplies and in that undertaking it iss possible for every one to make a valuable contri- button and there should be a general enlistment in the ranks of the army that is being mobilized by the Ma tiona1 Emergency Food Garden com mission for the conversion of back yards and vacant lots into food pro- ducing gardens Everyone can do his bit and the start should be made at once.

OUR EXPORT TRADE.

When Germany established its sub marine warfare, which pays no re- spect to the commerce of the world whether engaged in by belligerent or neutral, it was aimed at starving the allies, and England in particular. That country with others of the allies had been looking to this country for large supplies and it was expected that the successful carrying out of the unre- stricted naval methods would not only deprive Europe of much of the goods 1t was receiving from this side of the Atlantic but 1t would frighten off neu- tra1 shipping to such an extent that there would be serious situation created among the enemies.
 From the foreign trade figures which have been compiled for the month of February it is apparent that it made some progress in that direction for there was a falling off in exports by this country to the extent of about $146. 000. 900 in that month from what was exported in January. Most of the American ships were kept at home and our ports were to a certain extent blockaded. But that has all been over come by the refusal of this country to be frightened out of its rights by the German tactics as is shown by the export figures for March, which while they do not equal the record breaking sum of over $613, ,0O0, ,000 for January they total S551 ,00G.o0 or a gain of $156. .9OO,0 coo over February.
 Thus the underwater boats are not creating the terror in shipping circles that it was expected they would. The allies are looking to this country for large supplies and they are getting them regardless of the desperate and unjustffiable methods which Germany has resorted to.
