certain information Systems, and the
Geseettssammlungam is yet putting
them together in it's clever way.
Whether to divide the number OF
eligible men in each district into the
square of 25S, or to subtract the total
number of conscripts from the
quotient of the entire quota was at
first a question, but the code bureau

which nobody, himself uneXcepted, can
read, has discovered that one or more
of the figures 1, 2, 8, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and
9 appeaer in many of the numbers
drawn from the wheel and that these
figures are not unknown to the cards
of the conscripst. With these facts he
is sure to make much progress.
The task of the cipher office much.

Only one pro blem will remain at the

No Cause for Excessive Alarm.
(New York World).

(NeW OK WOrld1.
The report that the German staff
has called 100000 men to the colors
need not cause excessive alarm. If
true, they are called from some
where; not summoned from the air
or the Vastly deep. That somewhere
is German production already in des-.
perate straits. German strength has
always lain as much behind the lines
as in them. Weakness in either
quarter would be fatal.

THE RUSSIAN MIND.


-
Once bitten by a snake, you are apt to be more
careful than if you hadn't.
The Russian people, once having suffered under
the i~niquities of one-man power, they now are
intent that no one or set of men shall have what
they deem too great a sway over them.
They are at liberty, these Russians, and they
are extraordinarily suspicious Of anybody who
might desire to exercise a little authority and
bring a semblance of intelligent cooperation out
of the present chaos.
One really cannot find fault with the Russian
mind on the subject-it merely reflects the reac-
ton against former days.
The weakness Of Russia today is that it is all
liberty and no restraint.

In the Civil War the fighting was mostly done
by boys from 18 to 81 years. Tales Of how they
ran away from home to enlist form enhancing

try, though it is common in France and Germany
where lads II years old are forced to take arms.

A FOOD SURVEY.

i This is no time for q food Survey" or an "in-
vestigation," such as congress threatens in infict
upon the country.
The country doesn't need a food investigation
the facts are already known.
What is required, quickly and efficiently, is cur
tailment and Jail for the food spectators and a
rigid application of the price-boosting antidotes ad-
vocated by one Herbert Hoover, who knows more
about the situation than the house and senate COM
bined.
Procrastination is criminal in the face of an
international crisis. 1t would take 1000 persons

it would take. Action is needed, not tomfoolery.
Premier Ribet of France is alarmed at the
problem of ~depopulation, and is to appoint off,
Gals to deal with it. This is something that will
worry all nations participating in war. France in
particular, however, will be hard hit, because even
before the war her birth rate was the lowest,
which since the war has been decreased still furth-
er. If France in the last 80 years had enjoyed as
great a birthrate as Germany she would have had
a million or two additional men to fight in the
present war, which might have been enough to
have prevented the Germans from ever invading
to the outskirts of Paris.
