SAVE FOOD AS A
PROTECTION TO
YOUR OWN
COUNTRY
(Continued from page ~

VNVQtlUU0U x1O0 U060 -
The men of England. Scotland,
Ireland, France, Italy and Belgium
our allies-are fighting; they are
not on the farms. The production
Of food by these countries has there
fore been greatly reduced. Even be
fore the war dt was much less than
the amount consumed. The differ
ence came more largely from other
countries than from America. Now,
this difference is greater than ever,
and, at the same time, supplies can
no longer come from most of the
other countries. They must come
from America. Therefore, our al
les depend on US for food as they
never depended before, and they ask
US for it with a right which they
have never had before. For today
they are doing the fighting. the SUI
fering and dying-in our war.
We must send them the food they
have to have. We will send it. But
we can only do It by q wise and
loyal economy OF food on the part
of every one of Us. We must stimu-
late our food production, organize
our food handling, eliminate all the
waste possible, substitute as largely
as possible other foods for wheat,
beef, pork, dairy products. and sug-
ar, and reduce consumption where
it is excessive.
To accomplish these things is the
problem of the United States Food
But this accom-
plishment can come only from the
combined personal and voluntary
service Of all the people Of the land.
To that end we want all the people
to Join the food Administration. No
fees or dues; merely a promise to
help. Send for our membersh p
pledge and our plan.

RUSS|A'S FATE IS IN
HANDS OF THE ARMY
NEW GOVERNMENT CAN NOT EN-
DURE UNLESS APPROVED BY
100000 SOLDIERS.
Surrender of Throne by Emperor May
Be Followed by Republic or An
other Ruler May Be Chosen
Should Army So Decide.

Petrograd.-TEe house of Romanoff,
which has ruled the empire for 400
years, came to an end with the abb
dication of Nicholas II. perhaps the
weakest representative of his line.
Although apparent from the begin
ming of the revolution that the re-
moval of the monarch was the newt
able end, the actual fact came as an
overwhelming surprise to the popula-
ton. Within four hours after the alb
dication of the Grand Duke Michael,
who automatically became regent on
the passing of the emperor, the crowds
in the streets had secured ladders and
began to tear the imperial insignia
from the winter palace and the front
of buildings on the main thorough
fares.
Just what form the new government
will assume is indefinite. For the
moment entire authority rests with
ecutive committee and the cabinet
headed by Prince Lvoff, who, accord
ing to some forecasts, will be presi-
dent of a new republic. 1t is believed
that in the interim and until the con-
vocation of a constitutional assembly,
power will slowly pass into the hands
of the new cabinet, which will then
present the anomaly of a new govern
ment without a supreme head.
The reception of the new manifesto
at army headquarters is awaited with
the greatest anxiety for it is known
that unless it is favorably met by the
6 100000 men at the front the new
regime cannot endure. There is no
reason to suppose that the soldiers on
the fighting line will show a. different
attitude from the soldiers and civilians
in Petrograd and other cities, except
in as far as their remoteness from
the scene of the revolution and par
Lial ignorance of the conditions which
brought it about may affect them. But
since upon their acceptance their an
;wer is being breathlessly anticipated.
With them rests the decision as to
whether Russia shall build up new
government on a prepared foundation |
,r be plunged into further disorder

PREPARE FOR WAR
WITH GERMANY
PRESIDENT AUTHORIZES ExPEND-
ITURE OF MILLIONS TO SPEED
UP NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.
Sixty New Submarines to be Complet-
ed in Next Sixty Days, Private
Builders Having Agreed to
Rush Work at Top Speed.

Washington.-Pre for ag-
gressive action by the navy against
the German submarine menace has be-
gun at the direction of President Will
SON.
The president on March 10, author
lied the expenditure of the S115iO0O,-
600 emergency fund provided by con-
gress to speed up naval construction
and pay for special additional war
craft and the suspension of the
eight-hour law in plants engaged on
navy work
Immediately afterward Secretary
Daniels ordered the New York navy
yard to begin building sixty submar-
inc chssers of the 110-foot type, to be
completed in from sixty to eighty
days.
While the energies of the navy
will be concentrated for the present
on efforts to get into commission craft
designed particularly to destroy sub
marines and guard the coast, warship
building generally will be speeded up
under the recent agreement with prj-
vate builders and with the funds now
made available.
The announcements of the depart
ment followed an hours conference
between Secretary Daniels and the
president, who walked over from the
White House to the state, war and
navy building for the purpose.
A large number of privately owned
motor craft available for navy use
may be drawn upon at any time. Re
tired naval officers have been at work
along the entire Atlantic coast sur
veying boats for month. Contracts
have been made for their purchase
and a telegraphic order will make
them government property over
night
Volunteer crews for the boats have |
been enrolled among yachtsmen and
others along the coasts. Commanders
Of naval districts are ready to begin
patrol work with virtually no delay.
Navy officials estimate that within
Jour months 1000 patrols and chasers
will be ready for action. 1t is planned
o assemble the volunteers within a
ew days to begin actual operations as
| matter of training. pending orders
rom the president for complete mob
lization of the navy.
In this connection officials say it is
damned to establish a submarine-proof
atrol off the American coast. Since
ha vicit of fl,a CarD,au cuhrnaripa
J-53, to Newport last summer, it is
elieved necessary to provide for pro-
ection of American harbors in the
vent of war.
The enlisted personnel of the navy
; being recruited rapidly at present
total of $4,000 men being attained at
resent. Congress has authorized
otal strength of $4,000 and given the
resident authority to increase that to
Z 900 in emergency. That power will /.
OF be exercised. however, until |
-rength of 10000 has been reached.
On the surface, the war department
taking no steps toward making
lady for war. The facts are, however,
lat very complete plans for remob- I
ization of the guard have been pre-
ared and that provision has been
ade to obtain promptly enough adj L
tional officers to organize force y
100000 volunteers. No move to
