eral, pcace-loving, the protectress of
the weak, true to her word-it is these
qualities, says Mr.. Destree. that have
gained for her the hatred OF Germany.
She entered the war all unprepared,
save for her feet II was prepared,
and IL rendered a service to the world
that is simply inestimable-it saved
the world. She had what the 1unnish
chief called "a contemplate little
army" but she flung what she had
into the battle with the heroic abandon
of the Spartans at Thermopyle; and
she has in three years created an army
which for efficiency outelasses that
which Prussisn militarism has been
preparing for half century and more.
As for her financial effort, she is and
has long been spending S25,000,0OO a
day on the war, and paying large
proportion of it out of increased rev
enueS. as she goes along, without IN
the least impairing her solvency, IN
stead of trusting all TO loans which
she hopes to pay only by winnl1g the
war and footing the vanquished as
Germany is doing in her war finances.
Such is the gist of Mr.. Destree's
noteworthy contribution TO war ltera-
ture; TO which DR.. Clemenceau adds,
in his cordially confrmatory preface:
The reason why the ancient North
ern Island has grown in the esteem
and admiration of men is that e.
she has ceased to be an island ,
She has made herself one with the
continent of Europe by giving those
splendid tall sons of hers who are
lighting heroicaliy in the Flanders
trenches, by her guns, her conveys,
and, above all, by the lofty serenity
with which she has accepted on our
historic SOLD the destiny of suffer
ing and passionate strife. And the
splendor of the deed resides in this
that it is not the work of an hour,
but the inevitable elimination OF
q history of ten centuries. Other ma
tions there are that have shed more

THE IMPERIAL IMPULSE By Samuel T. ORTIZ
limo, ~ ia THE Century Company.
DR.. Buffers volume is a compilation
of addresses, interviews and other ut
terances on topics directly concerned
| with the war, ranging in date from the
summer of 1914 to that of 1917. The
contents deal alike with the most theo-
reticai ethics and the most practical
patriotism, and while some of the top
les now seem out of date, they are all
profitable for consideration. The gen
eral concept is that out of this world
war is to emerge a practically new
world, and 1t is the authors impas-
stoned desire that America shall play
4 great part and fill a great place
therein.
Mrs. Atherton's view of the war is
partly descriptive and narrative, but
the medtative part is really the gist
of il. She gives an exceedingly inter-
esting account of the great work which
French women are doing in the war
especially some of the aristocratic So
cial leaders, whose work she seems I'M
fortunately inclined to exploit at the
expense of that of their less fashion
able sisters-and then discusses with
much acumen the reciprocal influences
of feminism and the war upon each
other, the superiority of the middle age
over the rest of life, and the social.
economic and industrial problems
which already confront women and
which will hereafter be more pressing
because Of the war.
Mr.. Brailsford is looking toward the
end OF the war and the establishment
o. just and lasting peace among all
nations. For such consummation
guarantees are reasonably to be re-
qulred. In fact, we should say that it
would be unreasonable not to require
them. The question is whether such
guarantees, sufficiently effective. could
be given by a league of nations. The
author approaches the subject with an
impartial mind, and discusses its many
phases thoughtfully and dispassionate-

NEW REGULATIONS
COVERING DRAF FTARE
.IssUEOBY CROWDER

In an effort to clear up some mis-
understanding which has arisen over
the procedure in the cases against
those men who 20. are liable for ser
vice under the selective draft, and
who have not reported for examina-
ton, the Department of Justice has
issued the following statement
through the district attorneys office
here:
It has been determined by the Pro-
vost Marshal General that persons
who fail to appear for their physical
examination after having received
notices to do so from the local
boards, by such failure, waive their
right to physical examination and
are accepted by the board without
such examination. Their names will
be certified to the district boards as
chosen by the local boards for the
National Army. IF they do not
then appear to claim exemptions,
they will waive thereby their right
to such exemptions as they might
have claimed, ad their names will be
certified by the district boards to the
adjutant generals for their respective
states as persons for the National
Army. The adjutant general will
then mail them a notice to report for
duty at a specified time and place,
and such notices will be given pub
licity according to the regulations of
the Conscription Act
Such persons then become subject
, to military authorities at the time
designated by the adjutant general for
them to report. Should they fail to
comply with this notice, they become
deserters from the Army, and will be
treated as such by the military au-
| thorities.
1t is, therefore, a matter of vital
concern not so much to the govern
ment as to the persons themselves to
see that they give the correct address
for their notices to be mailed to them.
Should they fail to comply with these
notices after receiving them, they
| become automatically drafted without
regard to physical examination or to
exemption or discharge.
Here the official statement from
the department ends, but as supple
mentary information the local office
states that the punishment for de-
sertion from the army in time of
war is death

ST. LOUIS, April 9.-"We are entering upon one more war without q reserve of food" declared Henry J. Waters, member of the faculty of the Kansas state agrlcul- tural college, before conference here today, called by Secretary Houston to consider the food situation in this country "The visible supply of food" he continued, Twill be con sumed before another harvest. Should we have an unfavorable season the United States would face the greatest food shortage since the civil war"
Iditarod pioneer., 1917-04-14

that as a result Of 1t large permanent m provements may be made.
 Estimated Food Supply
 The weather conditions during the grow ing season of 1916 were unfavorable ln many parts of the world They were distinctly unfavorable in this country. Although there was a large wheat acreage, the weather conditions were such as to favor the ap- pearance of the black-rust disease affecting wheat The consequence was that although the acreage was large, the yield was feia- lively smell The conditions were not espe- cialy favorable for corn, and for some other important crops Still the food output on he whole for the current year was not 90 small as to excite alarm. The corn crop was 2,60O, ,00O,O0 bushels, nearly the five year average. The oats crop was above the fve-y year average, the barley crop very nearly the tive-year average, rye 1O,0o0,Oeo bushels more than the hve-year average, and rice ,40,000,000 bushels, as against 29,- 100000 bushels the year before, and 24,- 500,0O bushels, the five-year average. The production of kaffir corn, 8 relatively new crop, was 5O,000,000 bushels.
 The production of peaches, 37000 900 bushels; of pears, 10,400,G00 bushels, and of apples, 67,500,O00 barrels, represents ap proximatey the hve-year average, while the estimated production of oranges was 23,- SOO,OOO boxes. or 2,600O00 more than that of the preceding year. The crop of sugar beets was one of the largest ever produced. Meat products, likewise were produced in larger quantities, the estimated amount for the year being 22,278000000 pounds as against hve-year average of 19,712,OOO,OOO pounds, or 1000 100000 pounds greater than the output for the year 1915. Dairy products, on the whole showed gain, while poultry products also increased.
 Wheat Showed Decrease
 The two food products which reveal marked decrease were wheat and Irish po- | tatoes It is evident that the pubic has l failed to look at all the facts involved, es- pecally in the case of wheat The wheat | crop for the current year was reported to be 64G,000,000 bushels, as against tlve- year average of 72S,000,0OO bushels and the record crop of 1915, of 1,026, OOoOO bushels Apparently the public has com pared the crop of 1916 solely with the record crop of 1915, and failed to take into account the unusually large carry-over from i, that year into the present year of lo4 JUL : l 900 bushels or more Furthermore, It's at tention has been fixed on the large exports of the two years immediately following the l outbreak of the war. The experts ot wheat
