He is just returning from London where he has been engaged in business for his brother.
 "The food question is becoming very serious in Norway and more in Sweden" said Christopher son at the New Washington Hotel last evening" "The critical food conditions will probably force Sweden to take sides with the Allies. from whom much of her food is obtained.

At the time the editorial "Why We Fight" in last issue, we had not seen the articles by Mir Gerard appearing in the Hearst papers.

WAR LEDGER OF
 KAISER SHOWS A
 LOSS DURING YEAR

Analysis of the events of the year of war just ended shows the balance running against Germany and it's al- lies. Here are the chief items:
 To Germany's Credit.
 Ravages of the U-boats. From 100000 to 600,000 tons of merchant ships perhaps more-put eout of service monthly in the last six months. Neutral ship ping largely frightened off the seas.
 Reorganization of the Russian army due to revo- lution. Rout of the Rus sians in Galicia and Blu kowina.
 Conquest of Rumania, with possession of rich farm ing and oil fields.
 To Credit of Entente.
 United States, Brazil, sev- en other American nations and Siam enter the war against Germany, or have severed diplomatic relations with Germany, because of the U-boat campaign. Great wealth, man-pOwer, manu- featuring power and inven- tive genius thrown into the scale.
 Rumania and Greece with fresh armies join the Allies,
 Russian democracy up- roofing German influences throughout Russia, spread ing the campaign against autocracy among the Ger man and Austrian masses.
 Death of Francis Joseph and rise of Emperor Charles, who has overthrown the pro-Prussian party in Aus tria-Hungary and has taken a powerful hand in commit ting the German Reichstag to a program of peace with out conquest.
 German Socialists openly fighting autocracy and car rying their campaign to the army. Strikes and riots in many parts of the empire.
 The American embargo, which will shut off many military and food supplies Germany has been getting through neutrals.
 Retreat on a front of 80 miles by the German army in France. Capture by the British of Vimy and Mes sines Ridges and by the French of Craonne Plateau and Fort Vaux. Advance of the British past Bagdad and across the Sinai Peninsula. Capture of Gorizia by the Italians and Monastir by Serbs.

"In taking a decisive stand against

out the helping hand to the ruling

gives new hope to all Russians who
would enjoy seeing the new Russian
republic go down and the old oIigar-
