BITTER COMPLAINT MADE
ON GERMAN FOOD CONTROL
Residents OF Great Industrial Centcrs
Writhe Under Mesger Allowance
Of Food Granted Them.
HARVEST DEFERRED BY COLD
Frosts Reported Throughout Kai-
sers's Grain Districts in East and
West Prussia-Further Allowance
Reduction May Create Hiatus.
tBy Associated Press. ]

COPENHAGEN. May 10 (via Lon
DOM The potato shortage in Ger
many is making itself felt The
bureau Of food control has been able
to supply five-pound ration per week
in the Berlin and Westphalia indus
trial districts. but bitter complaints
are coming from various other sec
tions.
In many sections of Bavaria. accord
ing to reports TO the Reichstag, the
potato ration is only twenty-four
ounces weekly The Hamburg ration
is now three pounds. and the sister
city OF Altoona has been placed for the
next week on pound and "A half al
lowance.
AS the government promised. the
bread ration is not reduced where the
five pound allowance Of potatoes is
not furnished. Every pound extra Of
-four applied for this purpose. however,
upsets the governments scheme OF
distribution. based on the fact that
the stock Of grain in the empire is
barely adequate, under reduced rations,
August 10, when -four from the new
harvest was expected TO be available
Also the prospective date for the
harvest has been still further deferred
by the continued cold weather. In
East and West Prussia, two of the
great grain districts OF Germany,
frosts were reported as late as last
week
The authorities face the alternative
OF again reducing the bread ration or
confronting a hiatus Of more or less
duration between the time OF the ex-
haustion of the present stocks and the
| incoming of the first 1917 -four
Apprehension also is being expressed
particularly in agrarian circles, at the
inroads which the Increased meat
ration, granted when the bread allow
ance was reduced, is making in the
meat supply.

ARE LINCOLN AND
 LAW ENFORCEMENT

Cumberland Gap, Tenn, Feb. 12.- Our supreme task as nation is to Illustrate the blessings which come through loyalty to law" said Mayor William Hale Thompson of Chicago, in speaking on Lincoln and Law En- forcement' at the celebration today of of Lincoln Memorial university.
 'Lincoln's entire lfe," said he, "was developed in the spirit of obedience to law. Early in his boyhood he de- livered a memorable address in which he pleaded for the maintenance of constitutional authority and sounded a note of warning against that law lessness which results in 'mobo- cracy.' His mission was that of law and his supreme achievement was the restoration of the authority of law. As a nation we may well follow in his footsteps. LaWlessness will under mine the integrity of any people, break down the institutions of any government and result in anarchy. Today, as never before, we need to breathe Lincoln's spirit of loyalty to law and order and the safeguards of constitutional authority. With this spirit of devotion to law in the muni- cipalities and states of this mighty nation, we will go forward in the prosecution of our mission as great democracy and demonstrate to the world that the majesty of law is safe in popular government and that our supreme task as nation is to illus trate the blessings which come through loyalty to law. It was for this that Lincoln stood and today he still stands the silent sentinel of our history, pleading for the preservation of the precious heritage of popular government"
 Inspiration for Boys.
 The time when Lincoln lived in this rugged region was recalled by Gen. Coleman DuPont, of Delaware, in presiding today at the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of the founding of Lincoln Memorial univers' ity, which, during the past three days, has brought many distinguished men here to pay tribute to Lincoln.
 "It would be too much to say that any American boy can rise to Lin- coln's height" said he. Let us all fervently hope that no crisis shall ever come to pass that shall call for another Lincoln. But here are facts that should spur and inspire, and doubtless do spur and inspire every young man of today. Lincoln was not youthful prodigy; he was neither precocious nor angelic. He was not divinely gifted. He was just a plain American boy, plainer than most. at the beginning of his career. Born where life was hard and comforts meagre, he had neither luck nor cir cumstance in his favor. He had as poor a chance as any boy ever had to become great, and his success came only through the discipline of toll. He put his foot on diversity and rose to opportunity He did what any Amerl- can boy can do and ought to do, make the most of life's chance"
