EXHORTS HEARERS TO ENLIST

THE GERMAN FLAG,
GUNS AND PISTOLS

Great excitement prevailed at the
grade school Mouday noon when the
children behcld an imitation German
flag on the house of "Potato Bill ~
Atkins by name, on Minter avenue
near Tenth street. Patriotic blood was
boiling and they rushed from the
school building, charged wildly up the
hill with the intention of tearing down
the offending cloth, but-Potato Bill
was there first, and he had shotgun,
threatening to shoe. anyone who came
near. Owing to extreme youth patri-
otism cooled down a trifle and about
this time the truant officer, in the
form of Alec Allen, appeared upon the
scene, driving his flock before him at
the point of gun taken from one of
the boys, to the school house to an
swer for tardiness. Four of the older
boys had escaped the eagle eye of Alec
and secured two guns and two revolv-
ers with the idea of making a second
charge on Germany, but were intercept
ed in time to prevent trouble.

tration S food control legislation was
introduced today in both houses Of
congress.

BOOZE ESCAPADEs PUT GREEK
, FRATS ON TRIAL FOR LIVES

Boulder, April 30.-University Of
Colorado fraternities are on trial as
the result of drinking escapades within
the past few weeks and President Liv-
ingston Farrand has issued an ulr;.
matum that King Alcohol of the Greek
letter societies must leave the institu-
tion.
Each of the fourteen fraternities at
the school were directed by the presi.
dent to delegate two men to confer with
him Tuesday. 1t was at this confer
ence that DR.. Farrand set his foot
firmly down upon the practice of
drinking
"There has been more row raised
around here during the last two weeks
than in any corresponding period of
time since the University of Colorado
was founded,' is the statement at
tributed to one of the deans of the
university.
Drinking has not been confined to
fraternity members, it is said, and
representatives of the "barbsp or non
fraternity population of the .institu-
tion have been told that further prac-
tices of the kind will meet with sum
mary dismissal from the school, Of the
participants if they are apprehended.
The particular offense which attract
ed the attention of the head"of tho
school to the prevalence of drinking II
said to have been staged by five stud
ents few nights ago in front Of Dr..
Farrand 8 house. These five men, SO
the story goes, had imbibed to the ex-
tent that they believed they were q
company Of infantry.
Armed with nothing but bugle,
they formed lines and made ready to
attack the president house. Dissen-
sion arose in the ranks when all insist
ed on being officers. A compromise
was effected and four were designated
officers, with the other member Of the
party cast in the role Of private.
Inability Of the private to carry out
the numerous instructions that were
hurled 1t him by his supsriors, led to
a heated argument.
To secure enforcement Of the ban
against liquor, representatives. Of the
faculty have secured from the publ.

For Food, Clothing and
All Other Necessities
WIDEST POWER SOUGHT

Washington, May 3,-Absolute au.
thority to regulate at its discretion the
production, distribution and prices of
food and other necessaries during the
war was asked congress today by the
administration.
In sweeping bill introduced with
administration approval by Chairman
Lever of the house agricultural com
mittee. it is proposed to empower the
president, under the war clause of 6h.
constitution, to take these measures
whenever in his opinion the national
emergency shall require:
Ito fix maximum and mini
mum prices for food, clothing, fuel,
and other necessaries, and the ar
ticles required for their produc-
ton;
2.-To prescribe regulations to
govern the production of these
commodities and if necessary to
requisition the producing factor
les, mines or other establishments.
3.-To compel holders of neces-
saries to release them in amounts
insuring equitable distribution;
4.-To regulate exchanges in.
such a way as to eliminate market
manipulations;
6.-To compel railroads to give
preference to the movement of
nscsssaries;
s.-To levy such Importation
duties as he shall find necessary
to prevent excessive "dumping"
Of foreign products; ~
ITO impose limitations Of pro-
hibition upon the use Of grain in

lish standard food grades, to license
and control the manufacture, storage
and distribution of food. to prescribe
the percentage of flour to be millei
from wheat, and to regulate the mix
ing of wheat flour with other flour il
the making of bread and other food
In statement tonight, Mr.. Lever as
serted there was nothing in the meas
ure to disturb legitimate business &c

mere comforting of the more extreme
powers will be sufficient without it be
coming necessary to exercise them.'
It is known that officials of the ax
ecutive branches of the government
hold the same view.

"A STRAIGHT ANSWER"
Poem From the English People tt
Uncle Samuel.

"a Straight Answer" is the title of a
poem appearing recently in a promi-
nent British daily newspaper. a copy
of which has been sent to The Star by
one of it's readers. Its sentiments pur-
port to come from the English people
to their newest ally, Uncle Samuel. 1t
is as follows:
Dear Sam, the little army which own.
And which was labeled by swanking kaiser
As quite Contemplate has somehow grown.
And Wilhelm is sadder man and wiser.
But history again repeats her tale.
And Wilhelm, bubbling Ger with warlke
patter.
Declares your sword, thrown clashng in the
scale.
Is Of no weight and doesn't really matter.
Convicting him Of one more foolish blunder.
And We can guess how ardently you long
For that great hour when you shall speak in
thunder.
And though your teeming millions L. ID no spur,
Now they are ranged with freedom loving ma
tions,
That high imperial taunt. we may infer,
Yours is the best of blood to arm and train
Men and munitions both are in the making,
And when your armies pour across the plain
The boche shall wonder why the earth is silak-
So shall the lord of all the Hunnish tribe
Have one more idle boast to his discredit,
Straight on the royal mouth of him that
said 1t.
