Distribute All Food.

The German faculty for organization
however. has enabled the empire to
spread a thin layer of food over the
largest surface possible. The scientists
assert that the German ration has
never been deficient in calories-that
is, that each individual is entitled to
receive against his cards the food val
ues necessary to keep him in health.
Where fact and theory have failed to
dovetail however. is that the person
who is not in perfect health. or who
is not living an active life. digests and
gets full value from only portion of
his fixed ration. In other words.
hard-working man utilizes almost 100
per cent of the theoretical value of his
ration. whereas his wife or father might
suffer from nnderfeeding on the same
portion.
Outside of the beleaguered empire
too, it has been taken for granted that
the ration fixed by the food cards is
that given to each card holder. In
fact. the card merely fixes the maxi
mum of food which the holder can

Applies to Districts.

In discussing the food situation in
Germany it must be borne in mind that
all statements are necessarily generali-
nations and few of them hold good FOR
the entire empire. Food regulations
apply to and are made by municipal
tiles and districts and vary with local
conditions. 1t would be entirely pos
sible, then. for Berlin to be quite meat
less, whereas in villages a few miles
away there might be what passes un-
|der war conditions for plethora of
flesh. A dozen reasons might prevent
the weeks supply of meat reaching
Berlin. while a threatened shortage Of
fodder might have compelled the
slaughtering of the herds in the near
by villages.

IN FAVOR OF WAR

Col. Roosevelt Criticises U. S.
Course Towards Austria,
Turkey and Bulgaria.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
In the Kansas City Star.

The attitude of the United States at
this moment toward Germany's three
vassal allies, Austria. Turkey and Bull
garia, is a fifty-flfty attitude between
peace and war. 1t is not honest war.
neither is it honest neutrality. 1t is the
attitude OF the backwoodsman, who. see

Bulgaria is now simply the tool Of Ger

Mere Tools Of Germany.
The administration has published re-
ports showing that for a year. previous
to our entry into the war. the German
embassy was the center OF the spies and
dynamiters. with whom Germany was
already waging war with US. These pa
pers show that Germanys allies are her
mere tools and that Germany is with
held by no scruple from the commission
"
trigue and brutal outrage against us.
Under these conditions it is grave Of
fense against our allies not to declare
war on all of Germany's allies.
Turkey has been and is the tool OF
Germany, but Germany has permitted
her on her own account to participate
in massacres on the Armenian and
Syrian Christians, which renders 1t
main at peace with her. 1t is hypo-
critical to express sympathy with the
Armenians and appoint messages to be
read in the churches about them, and
yet refuse to do the only thing that
will permanently help them, which is
to declare war on Turkey.
Relations With Austria an Enigma.
With Austria our present relations
are less def1nable than our relations
with any other power. No one can
truthfully say exactly whether our at
titude is one of peace or war. We have
not declared war on Austria. and yet
we are furnishing money, coal and mu-
nitions to Italy in order to enable her
to fight Austria. If we really are at
peace with Austria we are fagrantly
violating our duty OF a neutral, and we
ought to be condemned in any interna-
tional court. But il we are really at
war, then we are committing the car

Farmer Cheats Census.

1t. has been impossible to keep the
farmer from cheating the takers of the
food census. He reports himself the
owner of ten pigs when he has sixteen
in scattered sites. He buries cheese and
hides sacks Of wheat in the sacks of
straw and has surreptitious stores Of
potatoes. An army of detectives would
be needed to keep tab on him, and Ger
many has no army to spare for this
purpose. Dependence is necessarily
placed on a system of severe and un-
evadable punishments for violations of
products, together with a continuous
twanging on the chord of patriotism.

 The power asked for to use force is only so that it would give strength to the exchanges of view that may precede any definite deci- sion as to the Germany's position.
 The careful manner in which the United States government is acting in regard to Austria is a sign that the President is reluctant to take the extreme step that may however be eventually forced upon him and to break off the relations with the government of Austria Hungary.

Little Rock
 "The receipt of a letter from E. H. Stapp of Keyil, Ky. assures Little Rock of $25,000 four mill said Frank T. Longley, manager of the AIer- chants Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. "Mr. Stapp wrote that he had closed transactions at Kevil for the removal of the big mill to Little Rock, and that he and j. H. Nelson, who with L. H. Randolph, own the mill, will come to Little Rock next week to close negotiations here"
 The location of flour mill in Little Rock was urged in connection with the profitable farming campaign in Oc- tober, 1916, and Carl J. Baer, then manager of the Board of Commerce, opened negotiations with the Ken lucky men. Following MT. Baer's res ignation from the Board of Commerce. MT. Longley and H. K. Ford, tempo rarily in charge of the management, carried the deal to close.
 The new mill will be located at 14l3 East Ninth street. in the plant former ly occupied by the Purified Petroleum Products Company The plant had been idle for about year when an option was secured on it by MT Baer in behalf of the Kentucky men.
 The mill will produce four bran, graham flour and other byproducts of the milling business The plant will have a capacity of 15O barrels or more of four a day.
 'The new mill will be great in- ducement for farmers to grow wheat, " MT. Longley said. Wheat growing has been advocated by the Profitable Farming Bureau. and with local mar ket farmers are more likely to re- spond. It will be another step in the direction of diversifcation.

EXTRA SESSION IS
 BELIEVED CERTAIN
WILL BE CALLED BY JUNE IT IS NOW CONCEDED AMONG
 OFFICIALS.

Washington.-An extra session of Congress not later than June is now generally conceded among officials here to be assured.
 Although President Wilson has not given any definite indication that he has finally abandoned his hope that an extra session might be avoided, there is an almost unanimous sentiment among senators, representatives and officials of the executive departments that one must be called. They de- clare that even if the international situation does not demand it, Congress must come back to complete it's legis- lative program and fill up gaps in the governments financial scheme caus- ed by failure of some of the more important appropriation measures.
 So certain are many members of Congress on this point that they are speculating only on the probable date of the session. The general eXpeeta- tion among them, said to be based on word passed out by officials close 70 the president, is that the end of May or some time in June will be selected as the time for the converting of the new Congress.
 The progress made by senators to- ward carrying out the presidents rec ommendation for a rule limiting Sen ate debate generally was regarded as strengthening the likelihood of a spe- cial session within few weeks. It is pointed out that in his statement the president conveyed the impress sion by implication that such a revi- sion of Senate rules would be step preliminary to bringing Congress back to finish it's program. After enume- rating the important measures which had failed, the statement continued that ''it would not cure the difficulty to call the Sixty-fifth Congress in ex- liamentary barrier to action in the Senate were removed.
 Should the Senate limit debate and the presidents legal advisers decide he has no authority to arm ships without congressional authorization, IliS cti llltu hCull Dlll would take place among the measures to be pressed by the administration at an extra session. It might be urged even if it were held unneces- sary from legal standpoint, in order to line up Congress behind the pres ident and wipe out the adverse inn pression which MT. Wilson believes has resulted in some quarters from the Senate's failure to act in the ses- sion just closed.
 But aside from the international crisis the breaking down of the ad- ministration's legislative program is regarded by many officials as an i'm perative reason for an extra session. There will be many flaws in the gov ernment's financial and defense schemes unless some emergency ac- tion is taken because of failure of the big supply measures, particularly the army and general deficiency bills

Little Rock
 Theoretically Arkansas is an equal suffragette state so far as primary elections are concerned. Actually, Arkansas women will not be able to exercise their newly acquired right Of franchise this year.
 The fly in the ointment, or the say ing cluase, according to whether the matter is viewed from the suffrage O. the anti-suffrage standpoint, is, that voters are required to show poll tax receipts for the year next preceding the election in which they desire to vote.
 One who votes. during 1917 must have a 1916 poll tax receipt to qual- fly, and under existing laws the poll tax must be paid before July 1.
 A section of the election laws, how ever, eXcepts such persons who shall have attained the age of 21 within the time of assessing taxes, May to Sep tember, if he possesses the other quaY- ifications. No change is made in these requirements by the Riggs act, re- gently signed by the governor, which confers upon women the right to vote in primary elections.
 In reply to letter from Walter Con- way of TeXarkana, asking if women would be allowed to vote in the De- mocratic primary to be held there March IA, Attorney General John D. Arbuckle stated has his opinion that they should not.
