PRUssIAN GRAB GI.-E

Ii can hardly be possible that Germany hoped
lpy changing chancellors to hoodwink the United
STATES INTO letting up on war preparations. Am
Dassador Gerard on his return to America how
ever warned the people to be prepared to hear of
fake revolution in Germany and it may be that the
shifting from one chancellor to another was the
kaisers conception of everything that nice orderly
revolution should be. But the same sort of CONVEX.
sation continues to come from WilhelmEtrasse, now
that Mchaelis has settled into Bethmann Hollweg's
harness From his recent statements our hopes that
the imperial government was ready to discuss peace
terms have dissipated. Germany is not yet ready
TO compromise She still hopes for her bag of spols
and is bindly holding on with prayer that the
allies will become exhausted before she is.
Practically all the leaders of German thought,
excepting few extreme radicals, still clamor for
annexations and indemnities. The kaiser and the
other German kings and princes of course are ex-
pecfed to give voice to these ambitions They must
win some sort Of prize in this war, be it ever SO
humble, because war without loot woulG be as bad
as crushing defeat so far as the effect on the
people OF Germany is concerned. University pro.
fessors are servants of the state so we must also
expect to hear them argue for anything that the
kaiser wants, but we have the astonishing spectacle
OF even socialist leaders arguing that Belgium must
- nSu as Oulicf state against foreign aggression.
One socialist member Of the reichstag, Herr He'll.
mann, goes 50 far as to say that "a defensive war
does not become war Of conquest If one IS the
victor in the end and wins something. Interna.
tionalism and all other sms are lost sight Of in the
one hope that BY holding tight, they will come out
of the conflict with at least Belgium and Luxenl-
berg in their talons
Nuremberg, by the way, is to lie hoaored with the
position Of separate statehood in the German EN-
pire after the war; She will keep Ler name and her
nominal ruler, but q part of the empire she must
become Thus Germany herself tells III what would
have happened to Belgium had she submitted to the
violation of her neutrality by the German troops
when they first demanded right Of way across her
territory Her fate would have been to fight for her
freedom sooner or later anyhow, unless she was to
submit to state Of yassaIage

Repeating The Bumps

Readers of the Star Bulletin have been reminded
OF the condition Of the section of Puncfbowl street
that leads to the Queens hospital.
Doubtless the repetition has been frequent enough
TO cause some to wonder why this particular street
has not been repaired or made passaby comfortable
The repetition of the bumps has caused many a
patient going to the hospital to wonder why the
way IS made 50 rough, why humanity should be call
ed upon to suffer needIessly.
Strange as it may seem, repetition ceaseess repe-
itlon and pitiess publicity necessary to drive
the best OF citizens to their obvious duties.

would not il 1t we're necessary, forego an improve
ment IN their vicinity should such a sacrifice be
necessary to assure the prompt improvement of that
very short section of street near 'e Queens hos

German Food Conservation

How close TO starvation Germany may be finding
herself we can only surmise at the present time.
But even in farming, the marvellous thoronghness
with which, she has been capable Of systematizing
her resources speaks we'll for her ability to ward
OF that day for some time to come
An agricultural investigator for the United
States government, speaking Of Germany's ability
to feed herself asserts that in normal times that ma
ton regularly produces IS per cent Of the food con-
sumed in the empire. As an instance Of the pain
stalking manner in which she conducts scientific ex-
periments he takes for example two of her staple
foods, pork and potatoes.
BY painstaking research, the German has learned
that pork is cheaper to raise than beef or mutton.
Therefore he raises swine to the exclusion, almost
OF other meats. bushel of corn will produce five
pounds Of flesh on a bullock. The same bushel viii
produce ten pounds of pork. In killing beef the
waste il 45 per cent while pig is small boned and
his fat Is all utilized in the form Of bacon and other
meat products Whether the effect of all this pig
diet explains the Unsuitable appetite for the posses
sons Of the smaller fellows about her that Germany
has shown. is good subject for debate
From potatoes the Germans extract glucose,
spirits to run automobiles, potato -four and other
by-products. After the by.products have been ex-
s-acted, the residue containing Is per cent more
nutrition than chopped corn Is fed to the cattle.
