anomalous condition.

at peace with Austria has long been recognized an anomalous condition.
 To all practical effect Austria is the vassaI of Ger many, but aside from that Ausi from the very first was not to be considered an innocent and guess victim of the Hohenzolens. The tyranncal greed of the flaps hugs toward the Balkans was the fuse which the Hohen zoerns knew they could ignite when they were ready to set the world af1e Austria was not as dangerous foe to free government as Germany because it was not in elgent so well trained to take the practical course of conquest and the spirit of Austria was not whit less guilty than that of Germany.
 The lay student of diplomacy understands in a vague way that for certain points in the game of international statecraft it seemed advisable not to include Austria in the declaration of war made last April The reasoning that led to that conclusion readily understood by the ordinary man who if he finds himself obliged to fight two
 ffians can not regard one of them enemy and the other friend It is technical and diplomatic distnc ton that does not sink in to the common mind It is dis nction that the activity of alien Austians in his country have convinced us as damaging to maintain any longer

ANIPLE NIEAT SUPPLY

Has Hoover worked a miracle? Did the American people in such large numbers respond to his appeal for meatess day that Chicago the meat center of the country has now a surplus of beef for which there no immediate market?
 These queries are auent statement made at meet ing of the corn belt livestock associations by Arthur Meek er representing the great firm of Armour & Go. He said that stocks of beef were png up in the coolers of the packing plants and that there is adequate supply of both beef and mutton hand at present to supply the country without decreasing consumption.
 There is a shortage of pork only.
 Of course this statement IS valid testimony that a very large percentage of housewives and public eating places are observing one meatess day each week. How else could beef be png up his time of the year in the coolers of the big packing plans at Chicago? Let 1t con- nue to pile up Perhaps the five great Chicago concerns which practically control the meat supply of the country will find themselves willing to accept something less than the unconsconabe profits they have been reapng since we entered the war.
 So far as the people are concerned most of them will be willing to forego hghprced pork in favor of reason aby-prced beef Still the meatess day will not be sur rendered Al folk of sedenar habits and most folk who are not engaged in muscular work have already learned that their health is improved abstaining from meat one day in the week or oftener Here is another patriotic duty that brings instant and lasting reward.

il. COUNCIL GIVES
HIS VIEWS ON
A MUNICIPAL
ICE PLANT

Evening Telegram:
The ice controversy now being
agitated in our City, and the very
popular movement to build a munic-
ipal plant is being seriously con-
sidered. The tax payers, who will
have to carry the burden of such a
venture, should exert every influence,
in case it is decided for the city to
build a plant and operate it in con-
nection with the other public utili-
ties of the city. to see that all the
public utilities Of the city are placed
in the control Of three trustees, with
out pay. electing one every two
years, who would have full control of
the public utilities of the city, and in
this way, endeavor to divorce all pub
lie utilities from politics.
Ice is almost as much a necessity
as water and lights, and my informa-
ton is that twenty ton ice plant
could be erected and put in operation
for $4,000. and such a plant could
be operated in connection with our
municipal light and water plants. The
interest on bond issue of $4,000 at
per cent would cost the city $1,000
per annum. am of the opinion that
a municipal plant could manufacture
and deliver ice in the city for TWEEN
ty-five (25) cents per hundred, and
if such is the case, it would be a
happy solution of the trouble exper-
fenced recently on occount of the in.
crease made in the price of ice to
consumers by the Southern Utilities

SHOOT FIRST CONTRACTOR
CAUGHT GRATING IN WAR,
DEMAND OF FOOD OFFICIAL

1TSt contractor caught gTaIIlnS IN
this war.
Stamp out with an iron heel this
breed of traitors at the outset. There
must be no repetition Of the en-
balmed beef scandals of unpleasant
memory.
There are just as many dyed-in-
the-wOol crooks today ready to make
money out of canned Offal, spawned
horses, wooden shirts made out of
cotton, papeT-sOled shoes, rifles that
explode and powder that won't go off
as there we're in civil war times and
during the Spanish-American war.
The type is not extinct.
In my opinion the man who DELHI
erateIy defrauds the government in
war time and who is responsible for
sending soldiers out into the training
camps and later the trenches to be
poisoned with bad food, to suffer
from poor clothing, and to face the
enemy with deficient arms is the
very worst kind of traitor.
AS soon as discovered he should be
tried at once, and, if found guilty,
shot the next morning.
The contractor who tricks the
government in this way is just as
traitorOus as the man who hurls
bomb or blows up a bridge.
In fact, he is worse, for the alien
enemy, unlawful as his act may be,
believes that he is dOing,a patriotic
act for the country of his birth.
Grafters among war contractors
are more contemplate than spies.
They should be shown absolutely no
consideration. These men are all
towards at heart. The sight of one
of their number paying the death
penalty for his treachery will act as
a salutary warning to the rest.
I feel particularly strongly about
this because l know from personal
