High Prices, With PLsnty

The Department of Agriculture
has just announced that shipments of
new vegetables to the chief markets
are running even with those Of this
time last year, or higher. This is
good news, with a bearing on coming
foodstuff prices. For the present,
prices are well above those of a year
ago. Apparently, and without refer
ence to momentary dips, they are on
the up grade. In the face of this we
find new vegetables more abundant.
The answer is that the new vege-
tables form only the lesser part of
the food now being consumed. Bread
is up, meas are up, the old supply
of vegetables is uD, because these
classes of food are now scarce and
would cost more now than formerly
70 produce. They form the bulk of
the national food supply. The new
vegetables come as an addition to q

''cOnscientiOus ObIectOrs" Advised


"Don't try to evade registration"
is good advice for everybody, from
whatever quarter it may come. 1t
appears that various groups classify
ing themselves as conscientious OBJ
jectors" to doing military service
had asked the advice of the organi-
zation called the american Union
Against Militarism" as to their
course-whether they should try to
avoid registration or resist conserip-
ton forcibly or what? These in
ouirers are advised not to attempt
evasion, but ''to register, stating
their protest in such form as they
think best, at that time"
The American Union Against
Militarism" has not made a good i'm
precision on that large proportion of
American citizens who feel that it is
q shameful thing for Americans,
sheltered behind the sea, the British
feet, and the trenches in France, to
throw obstacles of meticulous NOR
atty or vague protests against the
wiekedness in the world in the way
Of all American citizens when called
upon to come forward, all on the
Sc. footing, and defend the liberties
which they enjoy-liberties so bless
ed and all-beloved as to seem the
gifts of nature to fortunate people,
instead of being, as they are, the
flower and harvest of a century and
a half of American devotion and in
dustry. It is, indeed, hard to be pa
tient with men and women in this
country today who bawl out in the
face of sudden call to heavy duty:
~0h, we don't believe in killing peo-
ple-it can't be right, and you shan't
make US do it,"
But Don't try to evade registra-
ton" is good advice, even if this body
of objectors did give it. For to at
tempt to evade registration would be
to enter the outlaw class, and that
Is an unsafe attitude for anybody.
It is fair to some of these "conscien-
tious objectors" TO suppose that TIL
are not merely towards, shirkers, or
lazy doctrinaires, but are really will
ing to work for their country in some
civil capacity. No doubt plenty of
work will be found for them, and an
opportunity will be given to every
man and woman who breaches
against the sacrifice offered by the
soldier to produce some offering
equally acceptable to the country.

Open the Churches on Registration
Day and Keep Them Open

If there are any institutions in the
country which ought to be open
every day during the war they are
the churches. The places of a-=ase-
ment are open every day. The sa-
looms are open every day but Sunday.
But there are many Of the churches
which during the daylight hours are
never unlocked except on the Sab
bath.
Registration Day will be fine day
on which to establish the rule in
Washington that every church shall
have an open door every day in the
week.
On that day many a mother is go
ing to be brought face to face with
the fact, more than she has been be-
fore, that her boy may be one Of
those chosen to fight for his country.
She will not regret it, she will not
SORROW over the great sacrifice de-
manded of her, but at such a time the
need of Gods great love will come
very near to her, and while she may,
as she often has done, kneel down at
home and ask for heavens protection
for her loved one might she not look
with gratitude upon the open door of
q church into the quiet and holy
atmosphere Of which she might take
her problem and seek help in its
solution?
Maybe the boy would go with her
and the influence of that moment
'fwithin the temple" would perhaps
be greater than anything that has
ever happened in his life.
Surely the churches can afford
to contribute as much to the infu-
eneing Of the new soldier as does the
saloon. Surely the pastor can be as
solicitous as the barkeeper.
Let the churches all be opened on
Registration Day and .-,pt open un-
til the end of the war at least The
Times would like to hear from every
Washington pastor on this question.
The Washington times., 1917-05-27

total that is already scant in quality
and high in cost. Naturally pur-
chasers will buy the new potatoes, SO
long as they offer a better moneys
worth than other food articles, &, nd
so the prices will be forced up to
their natural parity in the food list.
In all this there is no necessary
wrongdoing on the part of that ruth
less melodramatic villain of popular
fancy, the middleman. He may be
all that agitators think him, almost
miraculously shrewd, callous, reck-
less, and powerful, but there is
abundant explanation of the high
prices in present food conditions,
without blaming the men who handle
the food. No one has yet demon
strated a workable way to get alone
without the middlemen, and it is
plain honesty to point out that the
country is likely to rely on their
services 10 a greater extent during
the war than ever before, however
much power may be given to Mr..
Hoover to make them behave.
In this war we are fighting Ger
many, and we should have the Ameri-
can middleman's services on our side.
The business of inhaming sentiment
against men to whom responsibility
for high prices is imputed is distinct
ly not q way to help win the war.
High prices in combination with
abundant supplies are both a natural
and a proper condition of foodstuffs
in war time, since nothing but dear
ness can induce economy and spur
production, and since only abundance
can safeguard our allies. Middlemen
and high prices may be controlled,
but the middleman's work must go
on and he must feel that the country
is ready to support him in all honest
and helpful activities.

My expectation was realized, for the

The Washington times., 1917-05-27

On concluding the correspondence,
I went out for q stroll, when. not far
from the hotel, noticed q well-dress-
ed, rather handsome, dark-haired
woman approaching. To me her face
seemed familiar, and l was puzzled
to know where I had seen 1t before.
I passed on, and, entering cafe,
sat down to smoke and to think.
Memory Of that woman's face still
haunted me. felt that had met
her somewhere. and had had good
cause to remember her. yet, for the
life OF me, I could not recall the cir
cumstances of our meeting.

Goes to Berlin for Information.
His words impressed me. An hour
later ! went to a photographer and
arranged for a surrsptitious portrait
to be taken of Madame Rosales the
next time she took a walk.
All day the young photographer
haunted the vicinity of the hotel until
the light faded. Yet next morning as
she came out he snapped her without
her knowledge. and in three hours
had a rough print OF 1t In my
pocket.
That night, after writing down a
great mass Of memoranda, instruc-
tions to various departments of the
state, left again for Berlin. with
orders TO ring up Herr Zeller on the
telephone from some unsuspieious
place every night at 10 o'clock.
returned to the Berlin Schloss
absolutely mystIned, and next day
spent the greater part OF the time
visiting the chancellor and the
various ministers, and giving them
the Emperor's commands. Then al
about 8 o'clock called at the chief
bureau of police in the Alexander
Plat1, and entered the private room
OF old Leibbrand, who at that time
was chief of the detective service
To him l showed the surreptttious
photograph Of Madame Rosales. The
astute thief-catcher removed his
spectacles, and examining the picture
with the aid OF a big reading glass
gave vent to a loud grunt.
In response to his bell a younger
and more alert man entered, and TO
him he handed the photograph, say
ing:
please see II anyone recognizes
