war through an absolute lack of food. Life for the civilian population Of Ger many on the present scanty allow ance of food. however. is far from pleasant.
 The decidedly short supply of labor even by working every available pTi- soner of war and the inhabitants of occupied districts. is not enough for the intensive cultivation which made Germany a world leader in big crop farming.
 Taking all these factors into con sideration, it is highly improbable that there will be any increase in gen eral crop production over 1916 and 1915.

Fearing Criminal Prosecution, They Rush to Federal Trade Commission Asking It To Fix Price of Paper.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-News print paper manufacturers facing criminal prosecution in the Unit ed States courts for alleged crimi- nal conspiracy in restraint of trade proposed to the federal com
 mission today that it fix a reason able price for the output of the principal plants of the United States and Canada. The commis- sion announced tonight it had the proposal under consideration and would reply immediately. It is generally believed the answer will be an acceptance.
 Victory for Press
 The action of the manufacturers gives a signal victory to American newspaper publishers, who, in the face of advancing prices have seen nothing ahead but ruin for many of their number If the proposal is &C., cepted, officials say it will mark an expansion of the functions of the gov ernment, which in arbitrating the diff. ferences between two industries op- ems up a wide field of possibilities for the future.
 Plea for Leniency
 Although nothing has been said concerning the continuance of grand jury proceedings in New York it is well understood the manufacturers move was predicated on the assump- ton that there would be no criminal prosecution. The manufacturers in their proposal while denying there have been any violations of the law, agreed that the trade commission, if It finds it necessary, may make rec concentrations for such changes in the business of print paper manufac- ture that the industry may maintain it's organization, management and conduct of business in accordance with the law"
 Fought investigation
 The investigation was put under way last sumner under resolution adopted by the senate. Information gathered tending to show antitrust law violations was turned over to the department Of justice, while all infor-

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-The
 ruthless German submarine cam
 paien and it's effects upon the
 United States were discussed late
 today by President Wilson and
 the cabinet. The meeting lasted
 only an hour, and afterwards #
 was said no new steps had been
 decided on.
 Armine of American merchant
 men and the economic effects of
 the partial tie-up of shipping out
 of American ports were the sub jects on which the cabinet cen tered attention. Secretary Me Adoo is compiling a list of yes sells held in port, and Secretary
 Redfield is making eorprehen- sive analysis of the inroads sub
 marines are making on shipping generally.
 Consideration is given by the gov ernment to all the different phases of the situation that has developed since the break m relations with Germany including the detention of the Var rowdale prisoners. the crisis with Aus tria, the plight Of Americans in Tur- key and Belgian relief.
 Must Act Soon
 High officials took pains today. however. Co emphasize that the great fundamental problem before the na- ton is the Illegal submarine cam paign itself.

There Is no doubt of the presidents

Secretary of State Bitterly Ar

to Reserve Officers at Madi-

Madison Barracks, y. Y, July ~.
I'm a speech delivered to the student
officers of the officers reserve camp
here tonight Secretary of State Rob-
ert Lansing outlined the aims OF the
United States in the great world-war,
and bitterly assailed the German
chancellor. He said, in part:
II wonder how many of US com.
prehend what the outcome of this
war means to mankind: to bring 1t
nearer to each of US. what II means
to our country, l sometimes think
that there prevail very erroneous i'm
pressions about the deep. underlying
reasons which affect the life and fu-
ture Of the United States and of all
other liberty-loving nations.
"Of course the immediate cause OF
our war against Germany was the
announced purpose of the German
government to break its promises as
to indiscriminate submarine warfare
and the subsequent renewal Of that
ruthless method of destruction with
increased vigor and brutality.
While this cause was in itself suf-
fcient to force us TO enter the war
II we would preserve our seff-re-
spect. the German governments de-
nberate breach OF faith and utter dis
regard Of right, and life had a far
deeper meaning. The evil character
OF the German government is laid
bare before the world. We know that
that government Is inspired with am
billions which Henace human liberty
and that to gain its end it does not
hesitate to break faith. or to per-
petrate tnterrainable acts Of fnhn-
mainly.
Promises Made to BE Broken.
"It needed but the words reported
to have been uttered by the German
chancellor to complete the picture OF
the character of his government when
he announced that the only reason
why the intensified submarine cam
paign was delayed until February last
was that sufficient submarines could
not be built before that time to make
the attacks on commerce efficient.
Do you realize that this means that
the promises TO refrain from brutal
submarine warfare. which Germany
had made to the United States, were
never intended to be kept; that they
were only made in order to gain time
to build more submarines and that
when the time came to act the Ger
mar promises were u~nhesitatinEly
torn to pieces like other scraps Of
paper"
Philosophers and. preachers taught
that the destiny of Germany was to
rule the world through preparing the
mind OF the German people for the
time when the mighty engine which

DIR. CANNON'S REPLY TO MIR. POLLARD

Editor Virginian:
Sir,-Hon. John Garland Pollard, present attorney general
of Virginia, and a candidate for nomination of governor, re-
minds one very forcibly of the Scriptural quotation: "Let not
him that girdeth on his armor boast himself as he that putteth
it off" Mr.. Pollard has suddenly discovered that he does not
"care to engage in a newspaper controversy with Rev. James
Cannon, Z. d. Why did not Mr.. Pollard come to that decision
before he began the controversy and not after it had been begun
by him7 Concerning this last attack upon Dr. Cannon by Mr..
Pollard certain things are to be said:
l. Mr.. Pollard began the controversy by privately and
then publicly attacking DR.. Cannon. He knew DR.. Cannon was
not a candidate for governor when he began the attack.
II. Mr.. Pollard speaks of 'tDr. Cannon's attack upon
him. The record shows that Dr.. Cannon made no attack upon
Mr.. Pollard. Mr.. Pollard attacked DR.. Cannon and DR.. Cannon
defended himself from Mr.. Polardis attack.
III. Mr.. Pollard attacked DR.. Cannon, stating that he had
been campaigning for Mr.. Ellyson for months in direct viola
ton of the principles of the Anti Saloon league, and that Dr..
Cannon had put forth efforts to change the rank of file OF
the Anti-Saloon league and members of the executive commit
tee from their support of Mr.. Pollard to Mr.. Ellyson. DR.. Can
non branded these statements as absolutely false. 1t is the
duty of Mr.. Pollard to prove his charges or to withdraw them.
He.does neither. He does not offer a line in proof of them.
Apparently he is not a big enough man to withdraw them He
suddenly discovers that he has no desire for any controversy
with Rev. James Cannon, D. 9. Certainly not!!!
". While Mr.. Pollard declines to present proof of his
charges which DR.. Cannon declares to be absolutely false, he is
apparently quite brave in pronouncing las absolutely false any
