sition unless. he deliberately chooses to

wish to see it made the permanent
policy Of this nation. 1 earnestly and
heartily support the administrations

MY. proposal is to supplement this
| step by providing for the immediate
use of somesof the men who otherwise
would not be used at all.
"All opposition to the Harding
amendment Is opposition to the prin-
ciple Of universal military service and
however well-intentioned it Is, in its
actual effect, it is profoundly unpa-
triotic. Moreover, 1t is all wrong not
to send an expeditionary force abroad
within the next few weeks. 1t is all
wrong to propose not to send any one
abroad until we have whole army
trained. AS a matter of fact, half of
the training should be given on the
other side of the water. We should put
one division at the front at the earliest
moment, keep It's numbers full and ont
other divisions with it just as rapidly as
it is possible to send them over in
stead Of keeping his whole army back
to send over en- masse.
"The only wise and patriotic course
to follow is to vote for the immediate
application of the administrations bill
and also to vote for Senator Harding's
proposition or some similar one as an
addition, not a substitute"

DEPARTMENT PLANS TO
COMBAT HIGH COST OF
FOOD AS WAR MEASURE

Washington, April 27.-To combat
the high cost of foodstuffs, the de-
partment of agriculture is to be put
on war basis. Increasing the pro-
duction Of wheat and lowering of the
price of bread are the main objectives.
Department officials say this must
be done soon and congress will be
asked to pass legislation accomplish
ing 1t.
With powers OF handling situations
coming under its jurisdiction in the
same manner as the war and navy de-
partments control matters under
theirs, the agricultural department
would be able Immediately to cope
with such developments as the sud-
den boosting Of bread prices. officials
say.
1t is admitted that the jump in
bread prices has come under the eve
of the department, but pending con-
gressional action on a measure to in
sure full war powers it is taking no
action in the situation.
Meantime officials believe the
bread rise in New York will not be
followed by bakers in other parts of
the country-at least for the time be-
ing.

London, April 27.-Eng-
hand is winning; the ulti-
mate success of the allies
cannot be doubted and that
success is being achieved at
less and less cost. But
England must
economize and make sacri-
fees. Around this text to-
day Premier Lloyd George
delivered an eloquent adj
dress in formal exercises re-
spending to freedom of the
city granted him by London
at the Guild hall.
CANNOT BE STARVED.
Victory Is becoming increasingly
assured" he said. And again: The
government is planning the 1918 har-
vest with three million additional
acres available, guaranteeing that we
would not starve il not q single ton
was imported.
But We must economt8e!s
Emphasizing the seriousness of the
submarine problem, on which he said
the best brains of Britain and Ameri-i
ca were now concentrated" the prime
minister appealed to the public for
food economy and increased produc-
tion, yoicing at the same time the be-
lief that there would be no necessity
for increased food prices.
THE IRISH QUESTION.
Ireland" he said. "is the one
prospect on the whole hori-
zon. appeal to all to sink personal
and party feeling for the purpose Of
settlement there"
Coming back to the economy plea
again. Lloyd George declared:
I'VE must economize our shipping
until some method is discovered of
destroying this ocean basilisk. We
have already arranged to obtain three
and possibly four times as many more
ships az we had last year.
WILL WIN THE WAR.
Before June, 1915, we lost 81
guns ana number OF prisoners;
thereafter We have not lost a sin.
gle gun while we captured 400 and
have taken prisoners at a ratio OF
10 of the enemy for one of ours.''
During the first Is days of the
battle of the Somme," the premier
said. I'VE captured 11,000 prison
ers and 81 guns. In the same per-
iod around Arras recently we took
$4,000 and $50 guns. Our gains
were thus quadrupled.
This means not only ultimate
victory, but at less loss- Our
chances are growing as our equip
ment Is improving. And the Ger
mans know it-which explains the
despair driving them into black
piracy on the sea.
SATISFIED WITH BALANCE.

decided 1t was no use to wave a
neutral flag in the sharks teeth"

have lost many ships, but Ger
