It often happened that Doctor Hale,
In the midst of busy day, would find
the luncheon hour at hand and an
important appointment still unmet.
1t was his custom to invite his caller
into his study, and ask the janitress
to make an oyster stew. The sexton
resented Doctor Hales infOrmality.
The time came for a new sign to be
placed on the front of the church, and
Doctor Hale and the assistant pastor
were standing in the vestry aisle dis
cussing just what the wording of 1t
should be. To their surprise the con-

HUNGER WOULD
LOSE THE WAR.
Both in the United States and
in the D0mini0ns.
INDEPENDENCE OF ALLIES
w. J. Hanna, Who Tries To Regulate
Food Supplies In Canada, Indi-
Gates Conservation May
Be Necessary.

Montreal.-Hints that some form of
compulsion and price fixing might be
necessary to conserve the food supply
of this country and the United States
so that the home population can be fed
and the necessary expectation take
place to the Entente Allies, were made
today by W. ]. Hanna, Dominion food
controller, in an address before the
Canadian Club.
Mr.. Hanna declared that waste in
foodstuffs in this country must be
stopped as Canada and the United
States must export an enormous
amount in addition to what is normally
sent, if the Allies are not to go hungry
and through hunger lose the war.
With normal sources of food cut off,
Mr.. Hanna pointed out, Great Britain
and her allies must rely to great ex-
tent on Canada and the United States,
The total requirements of the Allies
in wheat were 1,105,O00,000 Bushels.
The production of Europe was 645, ,O0O,-
900 bushels, leaving 100000 bush
els to be exported from North Amer
lea. 1t was estimated that the United
States and Canada would have for ex-
port 30O,OO0,O00 bushels so that 16O,-
100000 would have to be made up.
Mr.. Hanna said the figures for beef
are equally disturbing and if the short
age is not made up the allied cause
will fail. The problem would be met,
he said, if each consumer would re-
duce by one-third his consumption of
beef, bacon and wheat. He suggested
the free use of fish and vegetables
with smaller portions and corn and
oat meal instead of wheat. Elimina-
tion of waste in hotels, restaurants and
home in Canada, Mr.. Hanna said,
would work an enormous saving
There was a strong case for COM
pulsion, he declared, if the letters he
was receiving were any indication.
Distribution was an important factor
and here waste was rampant.
"Some one may have to deal with
this before we are through" he con-
cluded.

SUFFRAGETTES
ACCEPT PARDON
After Refusal They Decide to
Leave WorkhOuse.
SET BACK FOR MILITANTs
Opportunity For "Martyr" Tactics
Lost, But Picketing Will Continue
As Usual-MaIone Tries To
Win White House Over.

Washington.-The 16 militant suf-
fragette pickets, who were dumfound-
ed when sentenced to so days in the
workhouse for displaying banners in
front of the White House, received a
brand-new surprise. 1t came from
President Wilson in the shape of a
pardon, and the exercise of Executive
clemency fairly took the breath of the
militants.
The militants have defended the
picketing of the White House with
statements that such tactics would
eventually drive the President into
supporting the Federal amendment in
Congress. But the President knocked
the props from under this contention.
By pardoning the pickets he showed
that he is the least concerned of all
over picketing and that he wishes to
clear the way so the women could re-
turn to their lonesome husbands and
crying children.
First Refused To Accept
The sentenced pickets were 80 sur
prised by the pardon that they at first
refused to leave the workhouse. They
said they intended to remain there
until the President would promise to
support actively the constitutional
amendment.
The President acted after the hus-
bands of several of the prisoners had
interceded in their favor and after he
had been told that some of them had
small children at home needing their
care. Some of Mr. Wilson's friends
declared this element undoubtedly had
been the determining influence with
him. The suffragists insisted he had
become convinced that the country
was aroused over the workhouse SEN
tences.
